Guest guest Posted March 26, 2002 Report Share Posted March 26, 2002 Hello I am a 49 year old post-menopausal woman, infected with HCV over 30 years. last year I underwent treatment with peg and riba, went negative around week 12. and am due to have my 6 months post tx pcr in a few weeks. about one month ago I started getting treatment from Tindall at the Yuan clinic in London.he uses acupuncture and chinese herbs. I am amazed at the results. I have lots more energy, my digestion and sleep is improving, and today I have even sat in strong sunshine for a couple of hours without mishap. For the last few years the smallest bit of sun would bring me out in an itchy rash, so this alone is a minor miracle!!! for the first time i do not look like death warmed up, i now have some colour in my cheeks. I do believe the practitioner needs to know what they are doing as far as hep is concerned. those herbs are strong and presumably could cause as much damage as wrongly used drugs. I particularly would not take them if you are doing any other medicine at the same time, even if you checked it out with an ordinary doctor, they don't know any more about chinese herbs than the rest of us. . once you are sure you have found a reputable practitioner I would give it a try for at least 3 months. if you don't feel very much better in that time then you are wasting your money. good luck. love Sylv Chinese Doctor > Hello all, > > Here in Paris, there are only 5 qualified Chinese medicine > practitioners that can do Acupuncture as well as herbal treatment.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2002 Report Share Posted March 26, 2002 I just love hearing success stories as a result of participating in traditional chinese medicine. So many people don't know the benefits that can come from TCM and being a firm believer in it, I love hearing success stories. I too felt better when participating in TCM on a regular basis...and it worked miracles with the sides from treatment. Even though I now only do accupuncture because I can have it done for free at the Midwest Oriental Schoool of Medicine, I still see a difference in how I feel when I go weekly versus when I'm in a slump and don't get out and have a treatment. Thanks for posting this! Tatezi > ....about one month ago I started getting treatment from Tindall > at the Yuan clinic in London.he uses acupuncture and chinese herbs. I > am amazed at the results.

If you do not talk to them, you will not know them, And what you do not know you will fear.
