Acupuncture and Neuropathy II: Clinical Case cont’d
This case is so fascinating because this 75 year old’s neuropathy is 95% gone after 5 visits. I’ve done the same treatment each time, not changing it since it seems to be working. There’s no way of knowing if even just one treatment would have had the same effect. Just posting his latest data…
Read MoreHRV: incremental improvement versus quantum shift
This post is speculative, but tries to address the conundrum that in profound clinical responders, you don’t always see an improvement in their HRV over time. The patients whose data is presented here were all profound clinical responders with symptoms that were reduced within a few visits. I’m wondering if these HRV spikes early…
Read MoreHypertension, HRV and Acupuncture: Case Study (Ch.Ri)
This data is from a young woman with essential hypertension, seeking nonpharmacological solutions for her blood pressure. I’ve seen her for years, but am only including the last 6 months worth of data for simplicity. Any condition that has a stress component, like hypertension, would benefit from acupuncture, but also from vagal enhancement. To that…
Read MoreAcupuncture, HRV and Neuropathy: Example #2 (Ri.Ar.)
This data is from a patient in his 70’s who has had bilateral neuropathy in his legs and feet for 12 years. A patient of mine gave him my name and he came to see me as a last resort. He had significant improvement in 4 visits. This kind of result CAN happen, though…
Read MoretVNS and HRV Data in Migraine Patient: Ca.Fr
I’m stymied. I’m quite unclear on why in some patients the complexity or nonlinear data tracks the frequency data quite well, and in others it doesn’t. Just when I start to think I’m getting a handle on trends, the data is ugly and doesn’t cooperate. This patient has quite a few complaints, but often they…
Read MoreAcupuncture, HRV, and Multiple Sclerosis
2016 data from this patient who comes regularly for prevention/optimization acupuncture. She carries a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. She is best served by keeping her immune system optimized and her preference is to do this with acupuncture. This, of course, is a hard thing to prove, but her symptoms are infrequent and her MRI’s…
Read MoreAcupuncture for Allergy, Eosinophilic Esophagitis and HRV (MA.Ke.)
This data is from a patient who had fairly severe anxiety which occurred when she had to go any distance at all. She also has a diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis, an allergic inflammation of her esophagus. Food intolerance is part of her constellation of symptoms. She has come consistently and has marked improvement in all…
Read MoreAcupuncture, Heart Rate Variability and Neuropathy (Do.Al)
This is a patient’s Acupuncture/ HRV data who has been diligently coming for over 2 years for neuropathy. When she started she had mood disorder and depression, partly from the Neurontin she was taking in addition to pain in her feet and in her hands. She responded well to Acupuncture and has very little…
Read MoreGI problems and Anxiety: Case Study Acupuncture and HRV (An.Mo)
This is another clinical study to illustrate the current progress on my protocol. This is a young woman who has had exceptional clinical results with resolution of her GI issues (IBS type symptoms) and dramatic reduction in her anxiety. Unlike the patient in the previous post, she does not have an active, speedy personality….
Read MoreClinical Case Study: HRV and PMS
This is the current iteration of the protocol I’m working on. The goal is to get the most favorable increase in HRV during a treatment, which will then (in theory) translate into best clinical outcomes, stress reduction, better mood. This treatment from 6.2.16 was a combination of the treatment from 11.20.15 and 9.15.15. I…
