Have you taken MRI of that area. A friend of mine had so much pain on her leg and she did everything...acupuncture,

chiropractor...etc..etc. then she took MRI and they found rare parasite living there. It could be microorganism......... Yes I had two ot three MRI'S taken and it came back normal

After I was implanted

I had crawly sensations in both knees like worms crawling,

Immediately after I was explanted the crawly sensations dissapated and

Now I live with the pain and itching in both knees

Still have extreme pain in both knee caps

Than I think mold

I have itching right in the back of both knees.

Than I start thinking parasites

Especially in the shower when the hot water hits the

back of my knees I itch so bad I want to literally cut

the skin out in the back of my knees

Household chemicals do not bother me at all.

That's why I keep thinking this is a mold or

parasite issue or maye both

My knee problem began a few weeks

after getting saline implants

Right after I was implanted my breasts

were rock hard and I was in extereme pain

I was explanted two years later

Hi Sun Lee..

I enjoy reading your posts with great interest as you follow the paths that I believe in for healing and hear your education on the subjects loud and clear. You're very informative which is beneficial for all. I know you will heal, you have the right attitude, the determination, and the knowledge.

Since I get the impression you know a lot about acupuncture, I have a question for you. My holistic doctor does acupuncture. I used to always feel great after a treatment...relaxed, sort of an alignment with the universe.. all was right with the word feeling. Unfortunately, when I developed the Ulcerative colitis (UC), the acupuncture aggravated it. She doesn't know why and either do I. Even though this is proving to be a challenge, I suppose I need to try a different practitioner for this, and see how I make out? My problem is the buildings. My doc is nice enough to see me outside, I can't go in her office. I tried three other places and can't go into them either. I do know a massage therapist that with some training I might be able to get her fragrance free enough for lets say some reflexology which I believe is helpful for me, but the acupuncture I can't do. yes, I could read up on acupressure and do to

myself??? I was wondering if you had some ideas.

My goal is to get off the steroids and get in some kind of remission from the UC, but I need to put into practice some healing protocol besides restrictive diet. I do medication, which is always helpful, and am a great fan of Louise Hay. However,. there does need extra medical intervention and it needs to be alternative. I would be very interested in your opinions or suggestions.

Thanks,

Hugs,

Hi, ,

I too get so much information from here and I actually study acupuncture and I learn so much from everyone here. One of these days, I hope to help women with implant related issues. I experiment this and that on my body to see if it works. I try different herbs, medications,.....etc.

How many acupuncture sessions have you had and what sort of reaction did you have? If the acupuncture aggravaged then the acupuncturist did not do the right treatment protocol. Yes, some people see adverse reactions after acupuncture and I did too. My symptoms worsened for the first 5 visits then started to improve. So your negative symptoms may be your body reacting sensitive to it. You need to rest on the day that you get acupuncture. For some weak/frail/sensitive people acupuncture may not work as well. You may feel tired and worse in the beginning. I had to go to several acupuncturist before finding the right one. They all have different approaches to treatment and protocols. Accurate diagnosis is really the key, but lot of acupuncturist do not know how to diagno. They just learn acupuncture in school and graduate and then open up their own

office. Diagnosis requires lot of years of practice and you really have to be born with intuition. I would really go to a Chinese practioner who has graduated in China and has had lot of experience in treating people. The study required to pass the exam in U.S. is too easy and in China they have to study so much more to become an acupuncturist. They also do lot more practices on people.

For UC herb is more effective then acupuncture. The herb gets inside your body and actually treats you whereas acupuncture just corrects and aligns your qi flow. Combined therapy of herbs + some acupuncture (not too much) + moxibustion would be beneficial. Moxibustion is really effective for people with weakened immune system.

In TCM they believe ulcerative colitis (UC) to be due to damp heat in the intestines. Crohn's disease is the same. Inflammation in the intestines, imbalance in gut flora (overgrowth of yeast/fungus, bacteria). Some people have done acupuncture and have gone into remission after 2-3 months of treatment. Acupuncture requires steady maintenance for the affect to show up. It normalizes your body and it takes long time to do that. .

Taking steroids may be helpful, but it will never cure the UC and you may end up taking it for a long time and steroids further messes your gut flora.

Some symptoms of dampness in the body are

fatigue, body heaviness, sluggishness excess weight cysts, tumours yeast infections bloating and gas unclear thinking chronic sinus infections cloudy urine foul smelling stools thick tongue coating

Foods to Avoid or Limit

dairy wheat cold drinks fruit juice processed foods refined flour, pastry, pasta, breads cold raw foods refined sugar and sugar substitutes coffee, alcohol deep fried foods peanuts and peanut butter bananas, avocado

As energy flow (qi) stagnates, so do fluids in the body, accumulating where they should not be. This is dampness. If this dampness congeals further it develops into phlegm. Overtime this causes qi to stagnate. Qi is energy flow and our body functions because of qi. As qi is by nature warm over time this dampness turns into damp heat. So this process took a long time and this dampness/damp heat is not easy to get rid of. Qi stuck =symptoms=disease. Acupuncture will circulate or unblock this stuck qi. It took a long time to develop this U.C. Long periods of unhealthy diets (eating foods that your body is allergic to or is not right for your constitution, eating cold foods, eating greasy foods, etc) and stress (when you repress things, represssing your dreams, wishes, especially repressed anger and resentment) and result is qi stagnation. Once

dampness sets in the body it's very difficult to displace. It takes long term dedicated treatment to resolve this issue as it took a long time to get this condition. Once dampness sets in you can get yeast/fungus issues. Yeast/fungus/unfriendly bacteria thrives in damp condition. You have MCS (multiple chemical sensitivity) because all these organisms (yeast/fungus/unfriendly bacterial overgrowth) produce toxic chemicals inside you and your body has set tolerance level for chemicals (depending on your constitution). Your system is overloaded and you have exceeded the tolerance level so your body becomes so sensitive to any chemicals. You may become sensitive to perfume, cigarette smoke, any bits of mold....etc. Your detoxification pathyway is compromised.

Also in TCM large intestines and lungs are a pair organs so when large intestines are affected it may affect your lungs and may eventually lead to allergies, asthma and skin issues (lung controls the skin) like eczema/dermititis.

Damp heat in the intestines need a diet that clears toxic heat and eliminates dampness. A diet that eliminates dampness is one that avoids damp producing foods like wheat and cheese while at the same time includes green foods and vegetables that cleanse and mild spices that stimulate digestive fire to transform damp. A diet that eliminates toxic heat is one that avoids fiery foods like alcohol, refined sugar, refined carbs, too much fat, excess animal fat, shell fish and very spicy foods with chillies and cayenne or even black pepper. Herbs and spices that are both antibacterial and digestive stimulating that are excellent for U.C. like coriander, cumin, and fennel is good. The food should be primarly cooked with very little raw food depending on the person's individual constitution.

Also, qigong really helps U.C. Since you cannot go to acupuncturist office, maybe you can buy qigong CD's and do this at home. It's just as effective as acupuncture in harmonizing qi flow without the needles. I personally had about 60 acupuncture sessions. I went to several acupuncturist. I found an acupuncturist who does acupuncture painless. I dreaded acupuncture before started studying it myself. I have not yet found a good herbalist. A good herbalist is difficult to find as it requires much more knowledge and experience then acupuncture, but right herbs can cure U.C.

I am learning so much more from this group and learned that not everyone gets sick from implants. Yes, having implants really disrupts qi flow and is not good and eventually this stuck qi causes dampness and this is why so many of us get yeast/fungal infection. It's best that we never get it in the first place. I noticed almost all have gut flora imbalance. If this can be treated (it's not easy), then most of the symtoms will be eliminated. When the gut is healed and you eat and absorb nutrients properly your body begins to heal naturally. I think Dr. Kolb found ways to do this herself and this is why she has implants herself. She said in one of her articles paraphrased, " i can't be putting them in people if i don't think it's safe enough for me." I think that may be why she has them in herself. She really has conquered the implant issue and I respect her for that.

Her protocol is similar to Chinese therapy to eliminate dampness (normalizing gut flora) and repairing gut flora.

DaMo Qigong Practice: Deploying Internal Medicine to Achieve Cure of UC/Crohn's DieaseMechanismQigong, an ancient science and art of health, is a traditional form of Chinese energy excise and healing art for the body, mind, and spirit. Qigong is ideal for establishing emotional balance in today's stressful lifestyle and for helping to heal seriously ill people--those struggling with chronic degenerative conditions such as paralysis, cancer, asthma, cardiovascular and other more. People will ask us what the mechanism of qigong is. Generally speaking, like in a rice field, western medicine always have the trend of using all their means to kill the weeds. But in the meantime the rice shoots incur damage, more or less. Most patients know what the results is when they receive radiotherapy and chemotherapy. But for qigong practice, at beginning it will directly strengthen patients immune system and more deep concerning inner energy system. In a word, it seeks to harmonize the relationship of all internal organs and drop the idea to distinguish which is friend and which is enemy. How to achieve such aim, you may ask? For a tree, at the very beginning there is no division of which is normal and which abnormal for it stays at initiative stage of the very root. But later different branches develop into various forms, and good, bad, long, short, etc. come into being. By adopting special means we can reverse the process of growing up and take the course of sailing against the life current to return back to the very beginning. Once we reach that state there should be no any "branches" possibly existing to wield effects upon our physical existence.

Qigong is just the method of how to take the reversing course.As like to let the rice shoots get stronger and stronger, the weeds will have less and less effects upon the rice shoots. As the process continues, sometime the weeds will have no effect upon the rice shoots. Later the time will come of the rice shoots overpowering weeds. And people naturally know why qigong can prolong patients' life expectancy, at least. If patients can properly proceed with the practice, qigong can bring them much more than they could expect, especially the serene happiness general people could never have the chance to experience throughout their life time. Yes, somebody may ridicule at the theory, but no proper practice for a certain period people will never know what the qigong is. Qigong is the study of practice rather than just a theory. Qigong theory will be always beyond the thinking sphere of the persons who never seriously join the practice for a

time. Qigong Treatment CourseTaking Chinese Herbal MedicinePatients with IBD are advised to take some Chinese medicine which can help open up channels and collaterals quickly and strengthen immune system. Here we recommend Dr. Liu's IBD Recovery Pill. In most of the herbal formulas the herbs should work together to open up channels in a quick way and strenghten Yin and Yang, make for the balance of Yin and Yang, quicken the blood flow, enhance the presence of Defensive Qi and Operative Qi, enrich the blood and Qi. Etc. Taking such herbal medicine can lay a good foundation for Qigong practice to quickly take effect: first is the Yang Qi can have a play ground to arise and reside in. Second, Qi can arise quickly in large amount. When Qi arises from the very deep Qi Ocean

the internal organs would function more harmoniously with each other and they would like more to behave as like an integrated unit which can effect incredible power in launching overwhelming force against any potential pathogenic factors. Persistent Self-Practice When channels are opened up and evil Qi is driven away, the excellent environment for Qi to arise comes to be ready and patients should pracitice diligently with the practice every day. Many patients failed to gain final success because they don't have a strong will power in persisting in the practice every day. Qigong practice pay much attention upon how to discipline the false heart. There exist no diseases that cannot be cured, yet there always exist the false heart that could not be dead. So the first step for qigong practice is to discipline the false heart. Zhong Liu once said:" I am a dead man still alive. I can

see nothing, I can hear nothing, my thinking ability is gong. I have no consciousness of my existence." All these mean I am dead, yet my mind-will still keeps its presence motionlessly in the infinite emptiness. What am I? I have been dead for thousands of years."

The key for successfully achieving incredible progress lies in rapid storing up adequate Yang Qi, then with it to open up the twelve meridians, Ren channels and Du channel, and the eight extra meridians. When Yang Qi and Primeval Qi smoothly circulate in all channels and collaterals, all evil pathogenic factors will be gradually die out.

There are many postures available for treating IBD in Qigong. If patients persist in practicing these postures six hours every day in a proper way, and keep free from all other stray thoughts intruding upon the heart, there will be no despair anymore! When our heart, as like the root of a tree, falls ' ill,' our body will fall ill. When our heart keeps away from all 'diseases,' our body will be healthy always!

Lee, Xuhan, a great Qigong master accomplished in Tao, once said: " When only the last breath is left along there still exists the opportunity for the patient to recuperate their health again."

For proper Qigong practice, the following lists all the essential things patients should pay attention to:

Strong will power in persisting in the practice every day Preserve enough Jing for it is the physical foundation for Qigong progress. Fall the heart into a constant stillness, get rid of all disturbance, abstain from experiencing too much emotional changes. Lead a very simple life, take vegetables rather than food of cold, pepery, fat, too sweet nature. Choose to practice very effective school of Qigong, which can prevent patients from wasting too much time.

Some PointsTo successfully cure chronic diseases with Qigong practice lies upon five essentials:The first is to discipline the heart throughly, and cleanse the heart of all stray thoughts. The second is continue with the practice three hours every day. The third is to take some herbal medicine and acupuncture some points in order to lay a good foundation for Qigong practice. The fourth is to pay much attention upon the food you take. Almost 85% of the diseases have less and more connection with the food people take every day. No carefully prepared food you are advised to stop Qigong practice. The fifth is to learn a good school of Qigong. There are many kinds of Qigong in the China and world, yet many practitioners waste their time and money to learn the false kinds.
