Symptoms worse after treatment Questions Years ago I tried acupuncture for my migraines and it really helped. Recently I decided to give it another go as my headaches were getting harder to control and I’ve been trying to cope for...

Fatigue and mental slowness after acupuncture Questions Hello, This Tuesday(Voting Day) i had acupuncture done to help fight off chronic stress and anxiety induced by OCD. Since the procedure i have felt extremely Fatigued, i have to make an effort...

Esophagael cancer Questions I am diagnosed with esophagael cancer. The recommended treatment is radiation and chemotherapy to be followed by surgery to remove the tumor. I am not comfortable with this option. I was wondering how TCM would treat this...

Ms. Chang, I see your question in this thread, and I feel compelled to say a few things here. I immediately get the impression that you have 衛氣虛虧證 and this is why you are particularly sensitive to what is present...

Do you study TCM? What in specific makes you feel it’s primarily a liver and/or gallbladder issue? Could you share a clear picture (in neutral lighting/outdoor light) of your tongue stretched out as far as you can? If you do...

Furry cracked tongue Questions Hey guys, so I have this issue that I am struggling for years now. I went through countless doctors, treatments, tests, acupuncturists… without success. Instead of explaining, I think it’ll be much easier to show you...

What would you suggest are some of the most common TCM manifestations/patterns present within patients diagnosed with Gastroparesis?

Hey I can’t help but reach out to you. I have a lot of experience with Yin Fire and I can resolve it. I did it for myself, friends, and now clients. It’s a long, long story but in short...

I’m answering your last response on the thread here because the last time I linked to specific supplements by name Chad took them all down. I take a once a day, half a (250 mg dose) once a day, and...

You have no appetite because your stomach is yang deficient. If the spleen yang goes kaput, typically the stomach follows suit–if at least not soon thereafter. If I were you, I would make my own digestion pills with something maybe...

About a month ago I began treating a friend for low energy, stress, anxiety, depression, and problems with menstruation occurring only once every 2-3 months since teenage years–generally hormonal imbalances. My friend works on average 50-60 hours each week as...

Some herbs are deemed “toxic” or “slightly toxic,” but this usually implies long-term use. Long-term use can be widely interpreted, but most will agree that it constitutes drinking decoctions or taking powdered forms longer than one month. Please feel free...

Hey Chad, I've been wondering this for a while now: Have you studied or practiced TCM in China, Taiwan, HK, or Malaysia? Can you read Mandarin? Thank you for your feedback on my posts. I really appreciate it. :smile:

I am a novice TCM enthusiast and I am very much interested in formal study. I would love the time to chat with you if possible! Let me know if you’re up for it and I can give you my...

I’ve been on a self-constructed formula for one month now. I’m at a point where I would appreciate some guidance in regards to recent changes in my health. Here’s some back-story: For three years going, I have had regular liver-spleen...

I will make you your decoction (this ensures maximum effectiveness, efficiency, and consistency): Ingredients (respectively) Cang Zhu (Mi Chao) Wu Jia Pi Bei Sha Shen Bai Bian Dou (Chao) Zi Su Ye Bai Zhi Dan Shen Ze Lan Chuan Xiong...

It depends on how the powder is stored and when it was fine-ground. Is it stored in an airtight container? If not, it will loose its potency very quickly.

Yes, Giovanni Maciocia is world renowned for his tongue diagnosis. His books are a great place to start.

That’s certainly quite the assumption! I don’t wish a single human being or creature on this planet anything less than the best health and wellness–this is because at a time I was a sufferer of chronic illness myself and healed...

Also, I should say this: the very reason I myself got interested in TCM is because I had autoimmune disease at one time in the past. I healed myself from it.

I’m still interested in seeing the tongue. Also, I’m curious: has she done anything to work on her spirituality or emotions?

This is a hugely open-ended question. Also, Chinese medicine doesn’t distinguish diseases by giving them labels in the way that Western medicine does. What’s more important are the symptoms and patterns going on in the body that need to be...

Dietary recommendations to benefit the spleen (and Yin as well): balance the amount of food you eat cooked with that of what you eat raw (for now) avoid eating meat with every meal eat plenty of vegetables it is better...

Yes I did. Have a look at my response now.

Ian, I never received a Skype request from you. My ID is fujiyokocookiecutter. I’ve heard from my most recent new client that there may be a few, but mine is the profile with the location as Taiwan (I used to...

Yes that’s me. I used to live in Taiwan. I received your request and accepted it. See you then.

Ok 4 it is then. See you tomorrow!

My skype ID is fujiyokocookiecutter. Yes I’m in the United States (CST), so I believe you are 6 hours ahead of me. I can do a meeting on Friday at 2 pm (8 pm for you)–is this ok?

For my long-distance clients the most feasible solution is sending you one or any combination of (1) tinctures; (2) herbal pills; and/or (3) raw herbs for you to decoct at home–I give instructions if this is the case. I prepare...

Most of the clients I’ve served in the last year have been from all over the US–Pasadena, Chicago, Minneapolis, Rochester, and Boston to name a few. The long distance is not an issue, since I utilize tongue diagnosis effectively and...

A “good diet” is a broad statement. Your tongue does not show this to be true; that huge crack indicates that you’re not absorbing nutrients from your digestive tract properly and/or your immune system (or immune response) is not functioning...

You will be going in circles trying to find the “short-term cause” since you have such severe yin deficiency that your body cannot retain the little blood and qi that your spleen channel attempts to transmute. This is why the...

Do you have acid reflux or any stomach ulcers? Your digestive issues are here to stay until you resolve your chronic spleen deficiency. The cracks on the edges of the tongue, the crackly coating, and the pale color of both...

I’ve been busy this week with clients and I’m just now getting back to you on this, so thanks for your patience. McCloud: The reason I think it’s liver related is that when I take higher amounts of milk thistle,...

I’ve been rather busy lately so please excuse me for the time in taking to reply to you. Your tongue says an awful lot to me and what you have going on is something I treat with clients on a...

I’m not surprised that things haven’t improved much for you to be honest. What are your symptoms like currently? I’d like to see a picture of your tongue as well (not the older files you linked on your previous post)....

Thank you for reaching out to me. I have a few questions myself: What makes you suspect you have Yin deficiency? When did the heat coming form the palms and soles begin in relation to the previous viral infection? What...

I also wonder how this ties in to Wu Xing; for instance, would the loss of stomach (Yang Earth) impact the body in such a way as to necessitate reallocating the energy from the void to the Yin Earth organ...

Here is an example of a good chiro (with a reputation to prove it). Just like TCM, Functional Medicine, or any other practice of medicine, there are good and bad practitioners.

There must not be many good chiros in your area.

Have any of your patients received an X-ray after successful treatment to document if the disc has actually changed location? That would be fascinating to see.

Have you not considered chiropractic first? Manipulation techniques (just like chiropractic has with Gonstad, Thompson, Palmer, etc.) are an inclusive component of TCM and are taught in schools all across China alongside Tui Na and Wai Gong tracks–within the context...
