Guest guest Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 I our intensive care we have 9 month old baby.From the third month she was first orotrachelal intubated every 4 weeks for 3 day. Therefore we decided for tracheostomy.But now she can breathe alone only one hour per day.In all medical findings we find nothing. The parents know that I practice acupuncture, so they ask if I can try to do something... Also other function are well, only she has also ptosis, difficult swallow, rapid pulse, white coated tongue. Any idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 not a lot of info here, but based on what you write looks like phlegm obstruction - perhaps feeding history and mother's diet and condition may be relevant - if so Tx with appropriate points (acupressure ok too) - St 40, back shu massage/tapping etc. - & phlegm transforming herbs - chuan bei mu etc... hope this helps --- " ivanicboris " <ivanicboris wrote: > > > I our intensive care we have 9 month old baby.From the third month she > was first orotrachelal intubated every 4 weeks for 3 day.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 You could try " Xin Nao Kai Qiao " , or XNKQ ( " Open the Mind, Clear Orifices " ) technique. Sometimes it helps. More about this technique: 1. Treatment of Neurodegenerative Disorder (Alzheimer's, Stroke, and Parkinson's Disease) by Dr. John K. Chen and Dr. Hua Long Zhang http://www.acupuncture.com/conditions/alzandparkinson.htm 2. http://www.cbucm.com/news/XNKQ_Therapy.htm Main Points: neiguan (PC6), renzhong (DU 26), sanyinjiao (SP6); secondary: fengchi (GB 20), wangu (GB 12), tianzhu (UB 10).

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Curious as to what type of ptosis (eyes or viscera) and any other abnormalities? Also, what has her schedule of vaccines been as well as timing of administration with onset of signs/symptoms?Mike W.
