Sam e Chi

[Guest guest]

I am a fairly new practitioner and I am expecting to see a patient with

Raynaud's Disease for the first time next week. She saw an acupuncturist

(one time) in Hawaii recently with great results and he gave her a

patent medicine that is working quite well by her account. She does not

have the bottle with a label but says that he wrote the name " Sam e

Chi " . Is anyone familiar with this patent? I can not find it in my

reference books. I would also appreciate hearing about others experience

treating this problem.

 

Thanks very much,

Susannah,

 

SAM e is S-Adenosylmethionine which is a substance I belive to be

outside of the TCM materia medica. Health Concerns ( A Chinese

herbal supplier) carries a SAM e supplement. It is used mainly for

depression and arthritus. You may want to check out their web site

for more info at www.healthconcerns.com Also check out

www.drweil.com and do a serach on SAM e for starters.

 

Good luck!
