PTSD Is Real: Pricking Awareness Sheds Light On Treatment Options

PTSD Is real. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder ..."current research suggests that acupuncture may be an efficacious treatment option for PTSD. One randomized controlled trial on the use of acupuncture for PTSD on the civilian population demonstrated significant reductions in PTSD symptoms.
...Additionally, treatment effects for depression, anxiety, and impairment in the acupuncture group improved significantly more than the WLC (waitlist control) group. Studies assessing acupuncture’s role in mitigating individual symptoms of PTSD, such as migraines, anxiety, depression, and insomnia, demonstrate significant reductions in these symptoms for the studies’ participants.

PTSD can occur from service jobs including police, fire, emergency medical services, emergency room doctors, nurses and administration, but can also come from childhood traumas or un-esthetized surgeries, given a life threatening medical diagnosis or being told you can't have a baby. PTSD can occur from any trauma that caused extreme stress.

Smooth Move: Constipation and It's Treatment Causing Extreme Medical Problems

What's in your laxative? Seriously the ingredients include: plastic, anti-freeze and it's given not only for weeks at a time, but years. YEARS of ingesting plastic, daily is just unconscionable, but it happens more than we want to believe. It's estimated nearly 75% of pediatricians have recommended these drugs to their young patients. These laxatives are advertised as being "natural". It's not worth the risk. But we can help and there is not need to ingest chemicals to move your bowels comfortably. If you are a newborn or 99, we can help your bowels and digestive help and often, relatively quickly.

Here's an excerpt:

"Majority of US Pediatricians Have Recommended PEG Laxatives

If your child suffers from chronic constipation, there's a very good chance your pediatrician recommended Miralax (or a generic equivalent) as a safe solution. According to one study, 75 percent of pediatricians had used such laxatives to treat childhood constipation.1 One Beverly Hills, California pediatrician even told the New York Times:2

"'I've had kids on it daily for years" …For children with chronic constipation who are not being helped by dietary changes, "We literally give it like water."

Thousands of neurological reports after use

FDA Study Detected Antifreeze Chemicals in Laxatives

In 2008, the FDA tested eight batches of Miralax because "many of the reported adverse events were classic symptoms of ethylene glycol ingestion."4 Ethylene glycol (EG) and diethylene glycol (DEG) are ingredients in antifreeze so, in other words, the government tested the laxative after receiving reports of children exhibiting symptoms of antifreeze poisoning following their use. "

 

Patients were reporting neurological disturbances including: tics, tremors and obsessive compulsive behaviors.  This is unnecessary and unreasonable.  

Chronic constipation is linked to an increase likelihood of colorectal cancer. If you know someone who struggles with constipation from birth to 99, we can get them moving smoothly and truly naturally with no harm to them, no adverse reactions and certainly, no plastic. Even out of state patients can call for an herbal medicine consultation at Eagle Acupuncture to move their bowels and improve their gut function.

Many points on the front of the body move bowels, reduce bloating, moisten bowels and reduce pain and cramping.  For children under 12 we use a tickle machine that is needless, causes no harm and helps regulate digestion.

Viral Colds and Flu Best Treated By Acupuncture and Individually Prescribed Herbal Medicine

Cold, flu, bronchitis, cough and ear infections are best treated by your acupuncturist and herbalist, not your MD. Viruses can't be treated by your MD. MD's are wonderful and necessary if you illness does not first respond to natural medicine.

It's the viral season and if left untreated your viral infections (cold and flu) can turn into a bacterial infection in your sinuses, ears or lungs. But you don't always need antibiotics, you may only need herbal antivirals and herbal antibiotics. That should be considered emergency medicine only and to help prevent super bugs from developing so we may reserve antibiotics for more critical and life threatening ailments.

We treat cough, phlegm, difficulty breathing, clogged ears, low grade fevers, recurrent infection. Going online or to your local co-op to buy herbal medicine is a huge shot in the dark.

Each herbal formula is different depending on what is happening in your body.

If you have congestion in your sinuses but not in your chest= different herbal formula

Itchy ears and sore throat= completely different herbs are used to treat it

Drippy nose an unrelenting cough= undeniably a completely different set of herbs for that.

Fever and chills with yellow or green mucus with pain in ears or sinuses= a whole other set of herbal medicine.

Acupuncture not only boosts your immune system to cut you time you are sick in 1/2, but it also prevents a secondary infection from occurring.

If you are sick, STAY home. Do not go to work and infect others. This makes the flu season go round and round and on and on. Instead, make an appointment with your Acupuncturist and Herbalist. Be sure to alert the receptionist so your healthcare provider can wear a mask. Also, buy some disposable masks so when you are out in public, you wear one as a courtesy to others so they don't get sick.

And lastly, acupuncture and possibly cupping will help you FEEL better, which is a Godsend when suffering from a bad cold or cough.
