Guest guest Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Hi All, Has anyone treated anyone with Polycystic Kidney Disease? I have found information but seems to all mention this herb Triptolide. If any of you have done herbs and have come across or used this herb please give me some more info. I have a pt who has a triad of problems-Menieres, Fibromyalgia and Polycystic Kidney Disease. She has severe kidney yang xu, sp qi xu, liver yang rising not to mention phlegm. The article is below-about this herb. Or if anyone has acupuncture points that would benefit PKD. Traditional Chinese medicine may help prevent polycystic kidney disease Daily India (www.dailyindia. com), 30 April 2007 A new study has found that a centuries old Chinese traditional medicine, Triptolide has the potential to stop cyst formation in polycystic kidney disease Triptolide is derived from a Chinese medicinal herb named Lei Gong Teng, which has been used in traditional medicine to treat cancer, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases and, more recently, also has been tested in Phase I clinical trials as an anti-tumour agent. The research holds out promise for development of the first treatment for the disease other than kidney transplant or frequent dialysis. The study was conducted by a team of researchers led by Dr. Craig Crews at Yale University. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
