Avatar m tn Chinese medicine is very complicated to understand. They will frequently start with a liver cleanse to clear you of toxins, but then switch to other herbs.

Avatar m tn I don't know how many people are trying Chinese herbs. However, what I can tell you is that Chinese herbs are not going to get rid of your Hep C virus. If you want to treat and get rid of the Hep C virus you need to be on one of the approved Hep C treatment regimens. Currently, depending on your Genotype, that regimen would consist of Interferon and Ribavirin, and, if Genotype 1, also a protease inhibitor. Keep in mind that some herbs can actually cause harm to the liver.
Avatar f tn Kidney qi is commonly associated with fear and anxiety in Chinese medicine and spleen with strength and weakness in certain areas. So the better question to ask is, over time, is whether the treatment you're doing is working. If so, keep going; if not, try a different approach, something the naturopath probably will do. I would venture that your acid reflux isn't related to the other things -- it's more likely dietary in nature.
798555 tn?1292787551 The longest use of of adaptogens, at least as far as written medicine, is Chinese medicine. The best known is ginseng, but there are many in Chinese medicine. While ginsengs and aswagandha and rhodiola do support or charge the adrenals (sometimes overcharge it), they also have many other properties, such as supporting the immune system and the sexual organs.

Avatar m tn Hi all, You guys are in this forum meaning that you either don't completely trust conventional medicine or feel like there's something better to treat your illness. Chinese medicine is your answer and I have discovered a doctor who really knows the classical Chinese medicine which the history extends back to 5000 years ago. If any of you are in Florida, then you're very fortunate because Dr. Ni is practicing there.
Avatar f tn Try to eat grapefruit then try Chinese medicine called akopanture (better to be perform by Chinese doctor) It is impossible for person not to have bowel movements for 8 months(the person will die) Did you do colonoscopy? Check your pancreatic, gall bladder, thyroid that are the 3 organs that cause constipation in most of the patients as well as bacterial overgrowth I would try to exercise ,drink a lot of liquid such as milk, yogurt, warm water and start eating a lot of vegs.
Avatar n tn on the contrary in the chinese forum chinese people rarely use chinese traditional medicine and posts of traditional medicine are not allowed unless approved by fda in china they use about the same drugs as here, we have to be very thankful to them because most of them are using nitazoxanide and are checking hbsag quantity to see hbv clearance, test which is not available in US
Avatar n tn Please help me, I want to know my years in traditional Chinese medicine take the regulation of body, but the traditional Chinese medicine has what effect I am not very clear. Do long-term take Chinese traditional medicine to prolong the HIV antibody detection window period? if the use of the three generation of reagents, long after detection can be excluded?

891800 tn?1241426992 You can use both western and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM); I have for 30 years. Seems important to rule out PVD or or any clotting problems. I would stop walking and try something less stressful for exercise. For herbalist and TCM, google reputable practioners or use your network. At 51, I have had good health (and lost 50 lbs.). My practioner has treated me from everything from stress, post-cancer surgery to arthritis. Good luck!
Avatar n tn Today, I have an appt with a Chinese Medicine Specialist as well. I am on a two month wait list to see an Endocrinologist. I just picked up the Selenium 200 mcg and bumped my Levothyroxine up to 75 mcg. Any other helpful suggestions?
Avatar n tn I believe in alternative medicine and periodically I dose him with homeopathic Cantharis. I am willing to give him any homeopathic, Chinese medicine, or western medical relief! Would prednisone on a VERY limited basis help? Thank you for any enlightenment! I just want my poor boy to be COMFORTABLE.
Avatar f tn Its caused by antibodies attacking the thyroid. In this case meds are increased as the thyroid dies off more. In the beginning of Hoshimotos disease you can flip flop from hypo to hyper to normal for periods before you gradually go hypo. Does not happen to all. This is diagnosed from two antibody tests. Did she have these tests? 2)Temporary hypothyroidism: Can be caused by other health issues going on - good to find out what the real problem is. The thyroid gland is very fragile.
Avatar m tn Mercola keeps trying to encourage people to adapt to a more natural and traditional diet and medical practice, which in most natural medicines is almost the same thing in both the western natural medicine and Chinese natural medicine. Both types of natural medicine are certainly different, but this one principle is the same. Dr.
Avatar f tn Went through 1 mos of Chinese medicine (accupuncture/herbs/wheatgrass) and retested to a scary 26.9 fsh! I just turned 40, am single and trying this on my own. Dr was willing to do donor sperm if my fsh was lower. Now it's doubled. Has anyone had the reverse effect with accupuncture/herbs?
Avatar f tn Also, can i try to manage this holistically through acupuncture and chinese medicine in combination of western treatment. Having a hyper thyroid has hit me like a brick wall since I've been pretty healthy my whole life. I'm 37 and want to stay healthy for my new daughter and also look forward to having another baby in the near future. So, this is kind of hard...
415098 tn?1214856836 that just seems like too big of a decrease....they should keep you on .150 5 days a week adn .125 on the weekends and see where you go. Do you see an endo? Usually they will do something like this rather than decreased dosage all 7 days. I would ask about that.

In russia neither social medical insurance nor additional insurance ( additionlay paid by employer or by youself ) cover HCV cure. So everybody had to pay for drugs ( not cheap, though ) and good doc from his wallet. Year ago i was very sad, because of i'm interferon-ineligible due to low platelet count.
Avatar m tn -(Do it before eating) Push air forcefully out through the nose about once per second. Stomach will itself go in(contract in). The breathing in(through the nose) will happen automatically. Establish a rhythm and do for 20 to 30 minutes twice a day. Children under 15 years – do 5 to 10 minutes twice a day. Not for pregnant women. Seriously ill people do it gently. Thyroid point – press (50 times) the fleshy bit on palm between the base of thumb and wrist on both hands.
Avatar n tn I take levxoyl 150mcg and they just changed it from 175mcg. Can to much thyroid medicine cause acid reflux to start?
Avatar f tn I have also started to see a chinese doctor I am a big believer of chinese and homeopathic medicine. Finger crossed some thing good will happen soon and it will stay with me this time.
