floaters , macular degeneration and eye diseases

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

 

 

Whilst on the subject of eye diseases:

 

 

 

Has anyone had good results in treating chronic eye diseases? I am an

acupuncturist who is also rapidly going blind due to congenital retinitis

pigmentosa and Keratoconus (oh yes, and I also get floaters as well). I

have, as you can imagine, tried most of the classical acupuncture and herbal

prescriptions without any success so far. Most of the literature available

seems to be based on reworked old texts, rather than, results in clinic

(incidentally I finally received my copy of David Major's book on EAP which

may be useful, although it wont be an easy read for me as the print is feint

and microscopic!). If anyone has had any success in this area, I should

most grateful to hear about it.

 

 

 

Many thanks,

 

Mark

Hi Mark,

 

Have you seen: " Acupuncture for the Eyes " by Julian Scott, ISBN #0939616467?

 

Also, don't underestimate the long term effect of regular treatment based upon

pattern differentiation, particularly when we treat ourselves. I prepare for my

wife complex and constantly adapted formulas for her seizure and movement

disorders, two very different formulas morning and evening, morning basically

treating Kd and Sp Qi Xu with phlegm accumulation, and evening basically

treating Yin Xu and Shen disorder. I cook 3 days worth of herbs and constantly

change them and you know what? Just like sculpting, slowly, gradually her

complex symptoms are resolving! But it takes a lot of time and alot of

perseverence.

 

Wishing you a complete recovery,

 

Yehuda Frischman, L.Ac, CST, SER

Hi

 

 

 

Thank you Yehuda and Elie for your replies, I really appreciate it.

 

I do have have Julian Scott's book and I have now ordered Andy Rosenfarb's

as well. I am currently taking herbs but not to support my eyes, but to

help my digestion which is weak at the moment. Unfortunately I am rather

sensitive to a lot of the herbs that are indicated for eye problems (weak

digestion is another congenital weakness that I have). I agree with you

that probably a " drip drip " approach may the best course to take. I will

obviously have to embark on a daily/2xday regime of acupunture, herbs and Qi

Gong. Maybe the problem so far has been the frequency of treatments, rather

than, the protocol (certainly in the case of

 

AP).

 

Anyway thanks again,

 

 

 

Mark

Hi Mark -

 

Check out Dr. Richard Niemtzow's website. He is a physician

acupuncturist who works for the US Military. He has developed

excellent protocols for dry mouth and macular degeneration (uses

microcurrent stimulation). I have seen him treat mac.degen. patients

with good results (i.e. improved vision based on eye chart). He is

usually very responsive to questions via phone or email.

 

Here is the site:

Good luck-

Adam
