Guest guest Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Greetings, Actually, I don't believe that this patient has been taking any herbs. He turned to acupuncture after a 10+ year history of taking everything the dermatologists tried with no success. <snip> Anita Binnington [abinnington] Thursday, August 26, 2004 4:41 PM Chinese Medicine Re: RE: acne case Hi Jason,etc, This clients history has been acne for many years, with many forms of herbal treatments etc applied. So maybe doing the obvious is not beneficial in this case [Jason] Well honesty this means very little to me unless the doctor was experienced in treating dermatology. In the west we get very little training in treating such diseases and it really takes a different approach. Usually very high doses etc. Who knows someone could have been giving dan zhi xiao yao san or patents or something. There are so many bad herbalsit that I would have to know more information. Maybe it was the use of too many heat clearers being used which could also have exacerbated or created the internal weaknesses. <snip> [Lori] Or could it have been the effect of all those years on all those pharmaceutical medications? Anyway, I get the sense from him that he is not really interested in taking herbs. I haven't pushed it, because from my perspective unless I have a good handle on his diagnosis, it makes no sense for me to prescribe herbs.
