Guest guest Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 The Chinese have two herbs good for healing bone fractures: dipsacus (xu du wan) and dodder (tu si zi). Available from your acupuncturist or Chinese pharmacy. Stephen Jared ND Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Stephen, You suggested dipsacus and dodder for healing bone fractures. Will these two also assist in rebuilding bone degeneration. I have a rescue from a puppy mill that has bone degeneration in her jaw and we cannot do any dental work on her because of this weakened condition. We are afraid the jaw will crack and then lead to even more serious conditions to treat. Thanks. Abundant Blessings, Cynthia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hi- About a year ago I saw an MD on PBS state that the best way to increase bone density is to eat natto (Japanese word). This is another fermented soyfood like miso, soy sauce and tempeh. It's an acquired taste, to put it mildly. Some Asians eat lots of it. To prepare, cook soybeans several hours until soft. Pack into some small Chinese food containers, ferment over the pilot light in your oven until a white mold blooms, about three days. This mold is not just edible, it's good for you, while blue and black molds are dangerous. Serve with soy sauce. To avoid calcium loss, avoid acid forming foods like meat, sugar, vinegar and tomatoes, also drugs and supplements containing metals. Doctor Shook (Advanced Treatise on Herbalism) wrote that calomel (Hg2O2), for centuries a mainstay of conventional medicine, was abandoned only when it was found that it created lots of boneless, toothless wrecks. The serpent was the medieval symbol for mercury, found on the old AMA logo. Source: Isaac Newton by James Gleick. Now they prefer ethyl mercury (Thiosamine) which may be just as bad.

Worse case scenario is chiro may have to go in through rectum to adjust tailbone. It's easier and more comfortable than it sounds and no epidurial side affects. Best of luck. Michelle, I would absolutely encourage you to take the advice given to seek an " old school " chiropractor. I had a similar thing happen to me years ago - slipped and fell heavily on my tail bone. Excruciating pain and could hardly walk or find a position comfortable enough to sleep, and getting in and out of the car was something else. At the time I was living away from home and was regularly attending a chiropractor recommended by the friend I was staying with. He was not an old man but used " older " methods that are not practised by most chiropractors today. He did some adjustments which were very painful but by the nature of the injury, would have to be. He also said that he might have to do an internal adjustment via the rectum if necessary. However, after only two visits, the first being the most painful, I was able to walk normally with very little discomfort, and this rapidly improved. He did not have to do an internal adjustment. I shudder to think of what 'horrors' mainstream medicine would have put me through. Please seriously consider contacting your chiropractic association/governing body wherever you are and ask them to refer you to a chiropractor who uses these methods. It was nothing short of miracle for me and I am still, when I think of that accident, overawed by the skill of that chiropractor and am so grateful to him. (I am now 66 and would have been about 45 at the time of the accident). Sincerely, Valerie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Yes, and follow it further with homeopathy to promote healing. You can start with Hypericum and Arnica 30C, alternated 2-3 tmes a day each for a few days. Be well, Liz , " Val S " <katspjs wrote: > > " hlnhnz " wrote: > > > > See a chiropractor!!

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 the tailbone is a very sensitive place... ouch!!! the first injury to my tailbone was when i was in 7th grade. nothing was done. i was in pain for a very long time. but as a kid, no one took me seriously. eventually the pain went away. the second injury about 10yrs ago was severe. the chiro took xrays and said there wasn't anything there. he didn't do anything for me. he just said it will take some time for it to heal on its own. i was in pain so bad i cried at night bcuz i couldn't sleep. i eventually had to quit my part time work. finally, a co-member of a club we belonged to asked me to try a cortisone shot. he was an arthritis doctor and offered me no office visit charge, just the cost of the shot only as he knew i did not have insurance or a job. i gave it a try. he saved my life. about six months later it wore off. i got another one. i saw him a couple more times over the next two year. i'm pain free now. i still try to be very careful and not sit too long, ride bicycles or horses or go skating... all of which i love to do... i find if i do sit too long sometimes i can feel the pain come back some... i immediate change positions and rest... i know i never want to feel that way again! xo~Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
