Treatment methods for idiopathic neuropathy

[Guest guest]

All,

I have a patient dignosed with idiopathic neuropathy who presents with " pins and

needles " sensations in both legs, from toes to mid-thigh and burning sensations

with reddening of the feet in both feet, reaching above the ankle to mid-shin.

She is a 75 year old, with weak, slow pulses, tongue is pale and thin coated.

She tends to cold and is slightly overweight.

I have diagnosed phlegm in channels and wind; I've started using Bu Yang Huan Wu

Tang to treat her, as I've had luck with using this with stroke patients with

neuropathy. Needling, I use scalp points threading across channels from the

Sensory line to motor lines, and local points to benefit blood and expel wind.

Has anyone else treated this type of presentation, and what worked for you?

Thanks,

Kathy Kerr, L.Ac.

Alp[ha lipoic acid is a good addition to what you are doing.  Usually I start

with double the recommended dose for 1 - 2 weeks and then slowly back down to

recommended dose.  It can take up to 4 weeks to feel a noticeable difference.

Idiopathic neuropathy is relatively easy to treat with pachi-pachi estim on the

affected sites. The results are instantaneous but will slowly reverse.

Usually, this problem is resolved in 8 to 12 treatments. I combine pachi-pachi

with Russian SCENAR therapy for quicker, more thorough, and more long lasting

results. The results are that around 98% of the patients respond to the dual

therapy. Neuropathy from Chemo is the most difficult to resolve and I have only

a 50% success rate with this and of those 50%, I've never gotten 100% relief.

Usually only 80 to 90% relief. Hope this helps.
