I am HIV+ , I live in Thailand now and I use a tea (called Revivo) made by the Tian Zi bio center in China. Actually close to Thailand and to Laos by the Mekong River. I have had fantastic results since I took Revivo. I also communicate with them often by email. Furthermore, they recently open a Tian Zi Tea House in Chiang Mai (Northern Thailand) where some of their products are available. You can also visit their clinic in China. But most importantly, whatever your health problems are, just have a look at their beautiful website. Under Herbal Medicines you will find a vast range of natural products.\n\nwww.natureproducts.net\n\nAnd that's My Best Answer for you!

Acupuncture can be very helpful for depression.  Acupuncture is just one healing modality of Chinese medicine, which also includes meditation, massage, herbals, nutrition and more.  Using broad concepts, Chinese medicine looks at depression in two ways.  You may not have enough energy, or the energy that you do have is not circulating properly.   A qualified practitioner can recommend herbal formulae and movement exercises, perform acupuncture and massage, make recommendations about foods and activities, etc.  Many people feel that using alternative medicines can be very empowering, because it reconnects you to your own health and body.  I do have a word of caution for you, however.  If you are in a crisis or are severely depressed, do not drop the western medical side of things until you are in a good psychological place. Take your time and don't look for miracle cures, look for steady improvement over time.  As you begin to feel better and brighter, then you will be able to decide which therapies to continue and which ones to stop.   Best of luck to you.

western medicine is better at curing, and alternative is better at prevention. I don't have experience with Eastern medical practices.

The Eight Principles are one of the basic ways Chinese medicine has to diagnose. It uses the following eight divisions of symptoms:\n\nYin or Yang (yin-yang 陰陽) \nSuperficial or internal (li-biao 表裡) \nCold or hot (han-re 寒熱) \nDeficient or Replete (xu-shi 虛實) \n\nHistorically, eight branches comprised Chinese medicine treatment:\n\nTui na(推拿) Chinese Massage Therapy \nAcupuncture and Moxibustion(針灸) \nChinese herbal medicine(中药) \nChinese food therapy食 疗 \nQigong(氣功) and related breathing and meditation exercise \nT'ai Chi Ch'uan (太極拳) and other Chinese martial arts. \nFeng shui风水 \nChinese astrology

She could try hormone replacement therapy, but only if her cancer doc and gynecologist agree to the regimen.  They need to agree, because sometimes cancers are encouraged by such treatment.  According to traditional Chinese medicine, she needs to cool her body; think of it that her body is "overheating" without being able to regulate (i.e., female hormones) itself.  I would suggest eating soy-based products to help her body with the components she is missing.  This should help alleviate her symptoms and she will be getting high protein in her body to boot....\n\nI would be careful and consult with the doc regarding any herbal remedies to mitigate her menopausal symptoms, because herbs in their raw form aren't necessarily beneficial (due to bacteria, mold, fungus, etc.) and can impact her during a time of low immunity.  Herbs can also interfere with her medication regimen currently and work against her.  Realize that the most important thing right now is to stop the cancer and she may need to just "ride through" the side effects.\n\nTell her to keep "cool" and stay strong...!

My mother and my friend both had this malady around the same time.  (An amazing coincidence.)  But Mum had acupuncture and then electrical stimulation of the facial muscles, while my friend just waited for it to pass. My mother's face was perfect in less than a year, but my friend still has a sagging lip and runny eye.  So I think treatment is a better way to go.  All the best.

I think both have value, depending on the condition you want to treat, its severity, etc.  Look for products and therapies that are appropriate and safe.\n\nI think a good strategy is to go to your doctor and get a diagnosis.  If you have a chronic condition (osteoarthritis, chronic sinusitus, etc), then certainly look at herbal medicines.  If you have an acute condition, then go with what will get you out of the crisis.  Once stable, you can then begin investigating alternatives.\n\nOriental herbs are usually used in complex formulae and address the root of the problem.  The practitioner of Oriental medicine will look at your symptoms as the expression of an imbalance in your body.  They will want to address the imbalance.  Symptom suppression is very different from real healing, and too often pharmaceuticals only address the symptoms.  That is why you have to keep taking them, because as soon as you stop, the symptoms come back.\n\nOne consideration you will have to make is whether or not you have the commitment to take Oriental medicines.  The formula prescribed for you may require you to cook it up, like a tea or soup.  If you take herbal capsules, you may have to take a number of them a few times a day.  I don't think this is a bad thing, but some people do not want to be bothered with the inconvenience.  Just remember, good health has to be cultivated, and over the long run, you are better off for the effort you invest in yourself.\n\nAlso, many people find that the two medicines work well together.  If you choose this route, be sure to keep all your health pratitioners aware of all the things you are taking.  Herb-drug interaction are very possible, but easily avoided if you keep everyone up to date.\n\nI like herbal medicines because they are usually less taxing on the body, they usually have no side effects (although any medicine can have side effects), they are less costly, and they have a long history of usefullness.\n\nOne important reminder: Herbals are not regulated in America like pharmaceuticals, and some overseas companies are not good at all (some have been tested to have harmful ingredients, or only trace amounts of what it is supposed to have).  Therefore, you need to make sure you buy your supplies from a reputable company or practitioner.  GMP (Good Manufacturing Principles) is a status that some overseas companies use to indicate that there is government regulation on the factory and its products.  Some countries, like Australia, regulate and test herbal products.

Acupuncture originated in China then spread into Asia,[citation needed] spawning a variety of techniques, treatment styles, and theoretical frameworks.\n\nIn China, the practice of acupuncture can perhaps be traced as far back as the 1st millennium BC,[citation needed] and archeological evidence has been identified with the period of the Han dynasty (from 202 BC to 220 AD)[citation needed]. Forms of it are also described in the literature of traditional Korean medicine where it is called chimsul. It is also important in Kampo, the traditional medicine system of Japan.\n\nRecent examinations of Ötzi, a 5000-year-old mummy found in the Alps, have identified over fifty tattoos on his body, some of which are located on acupuncture points that would today be used to treat ailments Ötzi suffered from. Some scientists believe that this is evidence that practices similar to acupuncture were practiced elsewhere in Eurasia during the early bronze age[1], [2].\n\nAcupuncture's origins in China are uncertain. The earliest Chinese medical texts (Ma-wang-tui graves 68 BC) do not mention acupuncture. The Chinese medical text that first describes acupuncture is The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine (History of Acupuncture), which was compiled around 305–204 B.C. Some hieroglyphics have been found dating back to 1000 B.C. that may indicate an early use of acupuncture.[citation needed] Bian stones, sharp pointed stones used to treat diseases in ancient times, have also been discovered in ruins (History of Acupuncture in China); some scholars believe that the bloodletting for which these stones were likely used presages certain acupuncture techniques [3].\n\nRC Crozier in the book Traditional medicine in modern China (Harvard University Press, Cambridge, 1968) says the early Chinese Communist Party expressed considerable antipathy towards classical forms of Chinese medicine, ridiculing it as superstitious, irrational and backward, and claiming that it conflicted with the Party’s dedication to science as the way of progress. Acupuncture was included in this criticism. Reversing this position, Communist Party Chairman Mao later said that "Chinese medicine and pharmacology are a great treasure house and efforts should be made to explore them and raise them to a higher level"[4]. Representatives were sent out across China to collect information about the theories and practices of Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese Medicine or TCM is the formalized system of Chinese medicine that was created out of this effort. TCM combines the use of Acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, tui na and other modalities. After the Cultural Revolution, TCM instruction was incorporated into university medical curricula under the "Three Roads" policy, wherein TCM, biomedicine and a synthesis of the two would all be encouraged and permitted to develop. After this time, forms of classical Chinese medicine other than TCM were outlawed, and some practitioners left China. The first forms of acupuncture to reach the United States were brought by non-TCM practitioners, many employing styles that had been handed down in family lineages, or from master to apprentice (collectively known as "Classical Chinese Acupuncture").

In the 5 years I have been treating patients, and the 15 years my father has been treating patients via non-surgical methods, I have yet come across anything that yet works. \n\nI have read a few cases in which acupuncture has helped, but it hasn't worked on any of my patients.  \n\nIf you find the answer, let me know.

The allopathic medical system looks for the cause of illness/disease first.  If no cause can be found, then no disease can be named or treated.   Lyme disease is one that is difficult to identify via lab tests so it is hard to diagnose.  However, there are other systems of medicine, such as homeopathy or traditional Chinese medicine, that look at the symptoms or the pattern of symptoms of a disease.  When you visit one of these specialists, you will be amazed at the questions they ask.  They will want to know what makes the symptoms better/worse, if there are disturbances in sleep, if heat/cold aggravates/soothes, etc.  Many patients are relived to be able to talk about ALL their symptoms and have them considered in the diagnostic process.  Once the symptoms are assessed, the therapist will come up with a course of treatment.  The process of healing may be slow, but many patients are responsive.  I would continue to work with your doctor, but I would seek the help of a homeopathic physician or an acupuncturist that has intensive training in Chinese herbal medicine.  Make sure any alternative therapist you consult with has the proper credentials.  To find an acupuncturist/Chinese medicine practitioner, go to http://www.nccaom.org/find.htm

This is an interesting question.  I believe that nearly all patients, when they arrive in a herbologist's practice, already have their diagnosis in hand from a medical doctor.  They often arrive with their blood work, X-rays, MRIs and other tests.  They know what is going on, and they've sought out the herbologist or nutrition therapist for that extra dimension of knowledge and specialized expertise that will help the healing process.\n\nFurthermore, every herbologist I know is well-trained in adjunct therapies such as nutrition, traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and others.  They've all studied biochemistry, anatomy, physiology.  They're offering complimentary herbal therapies beyond what the busy MD, who hasn't time to study these, can provide.\n\nIt's nonsense to say that herbal remedies haven't changed in hundreds of years.  In its broadest sense, the field of nutrition therapy, which includes herbology since herbs are plants, many foods are plants and the same phytochemicals exist in both, is expanding dramatically at present.  In almost every medical school today, researchers are studying phytochemicals and nutraceuticals for their capacity to stabilize and even "help reverse certain disease states," as your correspondent Veg Ryan has written.  It is said that what we are seeing right now is another era of astonishing discoveries, comparable to the great decades of vitamin discovery from the 1920s through the 1960s and 70s.\n\nConsider the omega-3 essential fatty acids.  These are being studied for their help with inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular disease, macular degeneration, cataracts, Alzheimer's, diabetes, obesity.  In the herbologist's corner, we find these omega-3s in the plant purslane, regarded as a weed - but a few purslane recipes have recently cropped up in recipes in edgy magazines and leading newspapers.\n\nConsider cardiovascular disease.  In its early stages one can observe a good synergy between doctors today and nutrition therapists, because the best approach is lifestyle change through diet and exercise.   Many doctors will send the cardio patient first to a nutrition therapist before loading on the powerful meds with their side effects.  The herbologist has knowledge of specific plants - hawthorn, horsetail, garlic, lemon balm, flax seed oil - that can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol, so she or he serves as a member of the team that will assist the patient in re-formatting his lifestyle.\n\nWith respect to your candida example, surely it would be hopelessly counter-productive to believe the patient has this, to recommend herbs and protocols, yet never to tell the patient what you're treating them for?  This is perhaps a difficult example, because candida overgrowth, to best of my knowledge, is a condition not yet agreed-upon by western MDs, there are some who argue the idea is a fiction.\n\nI have great respect for the MDs who will offer a suggestion that's outside the realm of western medicine.  Usually they precede this by saying "some patients have told me that such-and-such can help."  There's nothing in such a remark that compromises their professional training, they are simply passing on anecdotal information.  Surely, in a herbologist's practice the same approach can be used.

Yes!  First, you should go to your medical doctor and ask for a diagnosis.  Your M.D. might zone in on your gallbladder or liver.   If you don't have an emergency situation, then look for a qualified acupuncturist or practitioner of Chinese medicine (acupuncture is one part of Chinese medicine, which also includes herbs, massage, and more).\n\nAdditional Info:\nI couldn't find the link at the World Health Organization's Website, but the first link below gives the list of conditions treatable with acupuncture.  Digestive disorders are among them.  Go and get the tests done, but don't delay in finding yourself a qualified pracitioner of Acupuncture/Chinese Medicine.  I have included a link to NCCAOM where you can search for a therapist.
