Guest guest Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Hello, I have a patient case that I would appreciate some help with. 37 year old male. Insomnia for 7 years. Often doesn't sleep at all for days and days. If he does sleep its not deep and not any longer than a couple of hours. Very irritable and has violent tendencies, especially around fellow car drivers. A body builder. Used to take steroids 15 years ago. Has a fear of " missing something " when he is falling asleep. Bites his nails to the point of bleeding. Type A personality. Very charming and talkative. Middle Eastern ancestry. Mild anxiety or mania, but no depression or down time. Dark circles around his eyes. Green complexion. Pulse is weaker, slightly wiry. Tongue, has pale sides, slightly red tip and slight coating. The main symptom that is curious is that he says that his face burns when he shaves. It takes him two hours to shave. Then after he is done shaving, his eyes swell and burn. He says the facial pain is not on the superficial skin but deeper in the face. He's had this for 7 years as well. He is needle phobic. I've convinced him to have two aggressive energy drains. Neither time were there any redness, but he seemed a lot more grounded after them. Any ideas of ways to help with the facial pain? Thank you, Blaise -- Blaise Ryan blaiseryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insomnia for 7 years. These are classic overheating symptoms (false heat) - the excess heat must be removed from the blood and the Qi of the Liver must be coursed so that the energy will circulate in a more effective manner. Reducing the heat will calm him considerably and reduce the inappropriate affect and reactivity. Upward moving Evil Wind can destroy a persons life and put everyone around them under stress. This is of course very harmful to the Heart. Such people do not think clearly and have many 'strange' ideas. Improving the quality of the blood (removing the excess acids)will go a long way toward improving the affective disorder. Toxic people who do not move the blocked toxic energy properly are among the most difficult people in society to deal with. They are miserable and make everyone else miserable. Drain the Liver (the seat of the false heat). Many blame this disease on Testosterone - but it is really the Liver that is not converting the Testosterone and circulating it properly that is at fault. Acid blood stresses not just the Liver but the Kidneys and the Acidic stagnant Liver attacks the Stomach/Spleen further complicating the issues - all of this weakens the Heart so in such cases it is easy to see how excess heat can break down the body at all levels.
