It's a boy!

Dear friends, colleagues and teachers,

 

About a half a year ago I wrote to you about the experience of treating a

patient on her last day before passing away. Now I want to share with you the

wonderful experience of treating a patient the day before she gave birth.

Wednesday evening, my associate, (who is a chiropractor) called me frantically:

A patient of his was more than a week overdue, and would I be able to use

acupuncture and Chinese medicine to induce labor? With His (not the

chiropractor's) help, I said yes, and met the couple at my office at 10:30 PM.

This was a 35 year old mother of 6. As she was late they had attempted

unsuccessfully to induce her by giving her a large dose of Pitocin, IV, the

previous week. Now she was scheduled the following morning to go back to the

hospital and give the pitocin another go. Her face was pale, she had big black

bags under her eyes, terrible low back pain with crepitus and her hands and feet

were ice cold. She had mild contractions but also had muscle spasms

in her back and legs. Her tongue was pale, with a thin white coat, her pulses

were slippery, generally thready, slow and choppy. I needled LI 4, LV3, Sp6,

St36, UB 60, GB21, Kd 3 and K7 and Sp9. I also taught her husband to Moxa K1,

3,6,7, Sp6 & 9 and St36, which he did while I was needling and treating with

CranioSacral therapy (CST). I asked her if she had a tendency to be anemic and

she said that she was. I therefore gave her Si Wu Tang in powder form, and told

her to take it every four hours that she was awake. She commented that she felt

like she was awoken from sleeping after the first dose. I also asked her to

take 1/3 teaspoon of magnesium citrate three times a day. I applied strong

stimulation on the reducing points, each for about 30 seconds, and retained the

needles for about 40 minutes, after which I removed them and applied CST, to her

abdomenal cavity, the area of her liver, her thoracic inlet (or outlet if you

prefer), her occiput and her sacrum.

While releasing her sacrum and pelvis, I felt the hips were rotated and the

presence of adhesions in the area of her hips (particularly the left hip), When

I checked, her left leg was 1 " longer than her right leg. After releasing the

sacrum, hips, inguinal canal and pelvis, the leg length was equal and the back

pain was gone. After 2 hours she was relaxed, the bags under the eyes were gone,

her face had a color, and the muscle spasms and back pain were gone.

 

The result? Nothing! She went to the hospital the next day and they again

insisted on inducing with Pitocin. I told her that Pitocin is a synthetic form

of Oxytocin, which she can stimulate the production thereof by stimulating her

nipples. Still nothing happened. Yet, she had had a wonderful night sleep (the

first one in 4 days), the baby was not in any distress at all, and as far as I

was concerned, was just not ready to come.

 

Finally, at 2am this morning she went into labor in earnest and an hour later

had her easiest birth yet, without any complications. She's doing wonderfully,

and the baby hasn't stopped smiling since birth. Why? because he was born when

he was ready, not when his doctors wanted him to be.

 

Mazal tov (congratulations!)

Congratulations Yahuda,

 

I too had the honor of being present for one of the most spiritual

births I have ever attended.

 

A 37 yo woman first pregnancy was 43 weeks 2 days in gestation when

they called me this week to induce labor. They picked me up from my

office about 1.5 hours from their home. I gave caulophylum 30c in the

car on the way.

 

They told me she had had 3 sonograms in the last two weeks, everything

and the baby was normal. (They left out that on all three times the

allopaths were trying to strong arm her to go to the hospital and have

labor chemically induced and probably a Cesarean because they were

afraid I would not treat her.)

 

Her tongue was pale, with a thin white coat, scalloped. Her pulses

were slippery, generally rapid. BP 140/94 P: 85 although she had just

climbed 15 steps a few minutes before I took the BP. She normally ran

180/68-74 during the pregnancy. She had never gotten morning sickness

or other horrible problems with her pregnancy. Her biggest

disappointment was when they got the news it was a girl and not a boy.

They went into a 2 weeks mourning grief period which may have affected

the baby. Now they desire a girl with all of their heart.

 

We opened the session in prayer after clearing the energies of the

room and house with the whole family and me.

I'm not sure of all the prayers as the grandparents only spoke Spanish

and I don't. The parents are bilingual but spoke to each other mostly

in Spanish.

 

I needled LI 4, LV3, Sp6, St36, UB 60, GB21, Kd 3 and Sp9. Mild

contractions started. At this time I added ear seeds for shen men,

uterus, spleen and endocrine for stimulation as desired later on.

 

She was so excited when I told her she could eat a full dinner. The

midwife I work with insists that the ladies in labor continuously

drink water, smoothies, super greens and electrolytes and eat anything

else they desire like popsicles, watermelon, and even chicken and rice

or other foods they are craving. (Yes she poops during the labor but

that is a sign the baby is coming soon. We just clean her up and

continue with the labor. It is a natural process even if it can be

messy at times. We had everything in the birthing/baby's room we

needed. She had an attached bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub. She was free

to change locations at will from the bed or floor to the tub. She was

in control of when the music was on or not, the amount of light in the

room and who was in the room at any given time.

 

After dinner we put on music of her choice and we danced to get her

hips moving and allow the baby to go to the correct position.

 

About 1.5 hours after the first treatment BP 127/85 P 78 slippery. I

needled R4 downwards and BL 31 and 32. Within 15 minutes the

contractions came on and were continuous for the remainder of the

labor however they started at 10 - 12 minutes got down to 2 minutes

and then went to 6 minutes and weaker before I revived the labor with

homeopathy. At this point (pun intended) I tried to needle R 4 and BL

31 & 32 again but she had to urinate each time within seconds so I

used acupressure from here on out on all of these points as needed: LI

4, LV3, Sp6, St36, UB 60, GB21, Kd 3 and K7 K1 and Sp9 and ear points.

We did compressions on the hips and her do squats with some of the

contractions or lie on one side or the other with pillows to support

her. We also danced during the labor and had her raise one leg up on

the tub or bed while standing and being supported by her husband or

the midwife or myself.

 

The baby's base fetal heart rate (FHR) was in the 150's but then she

went into distress down into the low 140's. I gave carbo veg 30C and

within a few minutes the FHR normalized. We also changed positions and

she got on all fours and started rocking motions. Later the FHR soared

to upper 180's. although mom appeared calm and collected I felt the

baby was terrified and I gave aconite 30c and brought the rate down to

170's I repeated in 5 minutes and it came down to the 160's and stayed

there for 15 minutes. I gave Aconite 200C one wet dose and the FHR

normalized.

 

We used warm compresses with clary sage and ginger essential oils to

help relax and open up the perineum.

 

The labor was long totaling over 20 hours. At one point she was really

exhausted along with the rest of us. I gave gelsemium to all of us

including hubby and midwife. We all perked up but not the patient.

Then I noticed she had increased thirst asking for water, cran-grape

juice and a strawberry/banana smoothie within 20 minutes. Gelsemium

keynotes dull droopy, tired, exhausted, slow weak contractions and

thirstless. I asked if she was drinking because we were forcing fluids

or if she was thirsty. She was thirsty I had given the wrong remedy.

Kali Phos tired, exhausted, slow weak contractions, thirsty. One dose

Kali Phos 200C revived the contractions and her energy.

 

She delivered a beautiful baby girl 7 lbs 10 oz, 21 inches long with a

14.5 inch head diameter (ouch. The most a woman can open up to deliver

vaginally is 15 inches in diameter. That's why the labor was so long.

Yes she tore during delivery.

 

There was never any screaming or yelling or accusing the husband of

getting her in this condition. She only yelped about 5 times before

changing her position and pressing the ear seeds and becoming more

comfortable again. Surprisingly no yelps when she tore.

 

The husband was at her side every moment pushing on her legs, her ear

seeds, massaging or doing acupressure as instructed, getting her

drinks. If she asked if it was hot in there he said if you're hot I'm

hot, how much air do you desire. (They were not using the AC even

though the temps were in the upper 80's outside.) He encouraged her

and panted and pushed with her throughout the labor. I gave him Arnica

200C along with mom after the birth because he worked so hard and

strained so much (grin). Arn is good for over exertion, bleeding, sore

bruised feelings and a whole lot more. We give the baby Arn for the

squeezing of the head through the birth canal and then other remedies PRN.

 

The baby had swallowed a lot of merconium and was grunting and

breathing in the 90's and was still blue. One dose Carbo Veg 30C and

she pinked up normally was very alert and I swear she looked at each

one of us directly in the eye. Her breathing was still labored.

 

I gave 2 doses of Antimonium Tart 30C 5 minutes apart and the labored

breathing was better but not normal. I bumped it up to one dose of

Antimonium Tart 200C and the breathing normalized. We remained on site

for over 6 hours post birth to make sure the respirations remained

normal and they did. The midwife stitched up mom and everyone was

happy and healthy.

Prayers and toning ushered in this beautiful baby.

 

Afterwards they were so appreciative of being given the opportunity to

deliver at home when so many had told them they could not.

 

The midwife I work with is also an instructor of midwifery. Her

students had been told that there was no way she would deliver at home

by the MD on call for all of the midwife's births. I bet they are all

surprised.

 

I am so honored to have been a part of this.

 

The week before a friend of mine was admitted to hospice. I used the

Spirit points PRN and gave Arsenicum 200c. I repeated the treatment

the day after the birth and my friend smiled went to sleep and passed

in her sleep of cancer. That too was beautiful and created great

reflection on my part as a participant in the birthing and releasing

of life on planet earth in less than 24 hours.
