Psoriasis is an immune-mediated disease that affects the skin and joints. Although the hereditary factor cannot be treated, if the patient’s general health can be optimised the body is usually able to keep the psoriasis under control. Treatment would include Interx applied directly on the first patches of irritated skin. Chi Nei Tsang and nutrtional […]
The word means any form of malfunction of the stomach starting from feeling not hungry because it is slightly inflamed to feeling that you want to eat all the time to mop up excess acid, to having discomfort and wind and being bloated. There are a number of causes of indigestion, one, if you’re eating […]
A frozen shoulder is a sympathetic dystrophy. Water logging of the stellate ganglion makes many of its functions over active. If a person uses the shoulder to an unusual extent such as chopping up wood, or bruises it slightly, the ganglion hopelessly over reacts and instead of mildly increasing the repair, it turns on the […]
At around 50 or 60 years of age, the thoracic curve in the back sometimes becomes more accentuated, particularly in women. There is also a pad of tissue at the top of the thoracic spine that stands out, often referred to as Dowager’s Hump. It may accompany a level of osteoporosis and calcium deficiency, so […]
A feeling of depression can often be related to a problem in the thoracic spine (between the shoulder blades). Muscle spasm interferes with the return circulation of blood around the thoracic spine and this causes a ‘water logging’ of the sympathetic ganglion. This results in an overall inadequate activity of the sympathetic nerve system causing […]
Chronic fatigue syndrome, also known as post-viral syndrome and Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) affects the nervous and immune systems. General consensus appears to be that there is no known cause or cure for the illness. We believe that this illness is actually due to a low sympathetic drive. The illness precipitates after an injury to the […]
Treatment must be directed at the basic cause of back pain and this is a bruised facet joint. The pressure of the protective muscle spasm must be relaxed, the poor blood circulation from the loss of the muscle pump must be improved, and the associated tissues require stretching to counteract the shortening that takes place […]
Rheumatoid arthritis is often associated with a low-grade streptococcyl infection – usually in tonsils. A person becomes allergic to either the toxin or their own antibodies. When examined the patient often has enlarged lymph nodes, particularly in the neck region. If one treats the lymph system by improving the circulation through the large, and partially […]
Migraines are are due to a malfunction of the stellate ganglion at the base of the neck. When the ganglion is congested a malfunction can be brought about either by its stimulation or by increased congestion around it. Stimulation is caused by tiredness, anxiety (both stimulate the whole sympathetic chain), bright light (it has some […]
A headache very similar to migraine results when the external instead of the internal carotid artery is affected, but without the preliminary signs or the nausea and vomiting. The headache can be very severe and often seems to start in one temple or the other. It is more common than migraine and brought on by […]
