Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Hi, I have a patient who is also a friend of mine that I have been thinking about using the aggressive energy treatment on. He is a truly remarkable man who, despite his mental illness, remains highly perceptive and wise (except when he is talking about his psychotic beliefs, of course). He was a recovering addict with 11 years clean and sober when his mother died and his girlfriend broke up with him, leading to a now 3-year relapse on alcohol. During that time he started to develop psychosis--hearing voices and paranoia. He's gotten to a point where he usually goes about 2 months before he has another drinking binge, but even with this much time inbetween binges, his psychotic symptoms get much worse afterward. There is a very clear connection between his psychosis and his drinking. If you've seen the movie, " A Beautiful Mind " , that is my friend. Most of the time he is able to avoid believing the cruel, degrading and frightening things that the voices are telling him. But sometimes it is a real challenge not to...understandably. His mother had some very serious problems and made his whole life very, very difficult (she probably needed the dragon treatment--she'd been a victim of horrendous violence). Perhaps he needs the dragon treatment too, but I haven't any idea how to do it. So I thought I would consider an aggressive energy treatment. Please let me know if any of you have experience with treating someone like this. So far he has been just about the most challenging person I've ever treated. Everytime I think I've figured out an angle on how to help him things switch on me. He really, really does not want to have to take anti-psychotics. He's gone to other acupuncturists and not improved there either. Can TCM or 5 E help someone with symptoms like this? By the way, he has a very thick, VERY THICK yellow coating on the back of his tongue and is also yin xu (probably jing too). Thanks in advance, Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Hey Laura, Can you tell me what you are already doing that doesn't seem to work? I have a feeling the answer could be right under your nose.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 hello, lookee here. The AE treatment is not something to try on strange, difficult or wierd cases. The AE protocol should be used on everybody at the first session in order to remove any aggressive/polluted/destructive/bad/generally f.......d up ch'i/energy. If a patient has AE it must be drained first, if a patient does not have AE then it doesn't matter. ^The man described may have AE - the symptoms do not point towards it - the only symptom picture that points towards the presence of AE is a sympton picture where the organs connected on the ko cycle are disturbed and the case history shows that disturbance spreading along the ko cycle. The man described could have a possession problem - more likely from the symptoms than AE - and may need ID's/ED's stephen > I have a patient who is also a friend of mine that I have been > thinking about using the aggressive energy treatment on. -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
