Re: O/T: Repolariztion of extracted tooth, Neural therapy

[Guest guest]

I had several neural therapy treatments of my scars before amalgam

removal. I can't really say if it helped anything or not. There was

no pain associated with any of the treatments. There was a lot of

emotion released when my biggest scar was treated (a burn), it looked

strange after every treatment, and now it seems less noticeable as

compared to before.

All of my scars were on my body. I only had one procaine injection in

my mouth, and that was to show that the tooth that was having problems

was connected to my shoulder pain. Interestingly, injecting near the

tooth did stop my shoulder pain temporarily.

Some people argue that it's not a good idea to have too much procaine

injected. I remember reading something about it at the

www.dmpsbackfire.com site, but had little time to chase the argument,

and it was too late for me anyway because I had already had the

treatments.

About a month before I got my right lower wisdom tooth extracted (it

had a huge amalgam), I thought I hurt my upper right arm muscle while

working in the kitchen. I ignored it that hopefully it would go away.

Well, soon after the extraction the pain just got worse and extende to

my right shoulder. If I try to lift heavy bags it hurts in the forearm.

I am not sure if this is what they call a frozen shoulder. But my ND

suspects a relation with the extracted tooth.

Does that sound right from your experience? The shoulder is still

stiff at times and the upper arm muscle feels sore every now and then.

Your shoulder may or may not be related to the tooth extraction. Either

way, I suggest acupuncture, which in my experience works great in almost

every case for shoulder problems. One caveat however -- you have to find an

acupuncturist who knows how to acupuncture right. It's a long story, but

Mao ruined acupuncture in China by centralizing medical standards and

education, and emphasizing herbs and de-emphasizing acupuncture. So most

acupuncturists educated in mainland China or the US know herbs well but

couldn't needle their way out of a paper bag. You need to find someone who

learned acupuncture from somebody who really knows how to do it. If the

acupuncturist wants to stick needles where the injury/problem is, run away!

Not that he'll hurt you, but the most effective way of doing acupuncture is

" microsystem " acupuncture -- ear acupuncture, hand acupuncture, etc. -- away

from the injury/problem.

When I do acupuncture for a shoulder problem, I ask the patient to lift

his/her arm, to see range of motion and how high they have to lift it before

it hurts. Then I find a tender point in their ear, ankle, or other part of

the body -- anywhere but that shoulder -- needle it, and ask them to lift

again. If there's not an immediate, marked difference, then I missed. With

a few needles, I expect that ROM and pain to decrease AT LEAST 50%, and

preferably 80% or better.

If your acupuncturist has lower expectations, he's probably an herbalist who

toys with acupuncture. Find a real acupuncturist.
