Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Again thank you for your reply. You asked It sounds like the first acupuncturist is a TCM acupuncturist or at least uses some TCM. Did she do a pulse and tongue diagnosis? Yes she did do this and while I don't remember exactly what that specific diagnosis was, her general diagnosis was the same as yours. She felt that he had multiple imbalances that needed to be corrected. To that end we did a parasite cleanse and a colon cleanse and his diet somewhat. Neither the color cleanse or the parasite cleanse produced any noticeable differences or problems. I know we still need to do the liver and kidney cleanses and I suppose I have hesitated because I'm not really a doctor :^) so sometimes doing these things makes me nervous. As far as magnesium deficiency I have also thought that, especially since I am sure he doesn't absorb nutrients well. I didn't know about the test though and I will have his doctor run that when we go in next week. As far as getting any answers from the doctors at this point that is pretty useless. They assume he is taking all the drugs they have prescribed and just want to give him more for what they see as side effects. They will however do pretty much any test I ask for. You also mentioned the Chase Wind Penetrate Bone formula The formula also has herbs for Blood Stasis as well as herbs to improve Qi, Blood, Yin, and Yang. But I suspect not enough tonic action as your friend needs. (I'll go into that more in the next post.) This did make a significant and seemingly lasting difference to him and that is very very unusual. Is there another formula that you know of that would have a greater tonic action? Or perhaps are there specific food lists that I could find that would contribute to that? Thank you again for all your time and effort Nancy Nancy Steele n.steele Why Wait? Move to EarthLink.
