Grenada, WI, woman 50 years old (Mrs. Sheila). She had
been treating herself for 22 years in the same hospital she
had been a nurse in before her car accident, in New York. She
had 12 surgeries related to the accident in her right arm, for it
was frozen. She couldn’t even comb her hair and had constant
pain in her limbs, head and shoulders. Another big issue was
her insomnias as she was under heavy medication for a period
of 22 years. She arrived at the clinic carried by 2 male helpers,
as she couldn’t walk.
Diagnose: Having had multiple and frequent surgeries, a
blockage was created in her meridian paths followed by rigid
and tense muscle structure, stiffness in the joints, restricted
movements, stomach irritation, pulse slim and constipation.
Sadness and anger came with these symptoms. During
consultation, the patient informed that she “would ONLY give
the Holistic system 3 sessions to see if they would work, as she
was tired of trying and not having visible results”. We together
achieved muscular pain relief as well as we reduced stiffness
in the joints and got rid of restrictions in movement; at the
2nd session of Acupuncture she started to have less pain and
even slept during the session and at the 3rd session of Holistic
treatment she started moving the limbs and walking by herself.
Method: Start by balancing the energy of internal organs using
Ear Acupuncture (She-Men, Occipital minor, sub-cortex, kidney,
shoulders & her articulations, clavicle, adrenal gland, neck), and
Head acupuncture points, followed by deep tissue massage/
chiropractic/shiatsu and hot ginger compress at the back, and
Chi Nei Tsang (intestinal) massage. She was prescribed Clay
baths at home and macrobiotic detox diet that included only
the consumption of green vegetables, seasonal fruits, sea
weed and whole grain cereal.
Results: After 2 sessions she started sleeping normally. After
5 sessions she started combing her hair and walking alone on
the street of Grenada, WI. We had 10 sessions and after that
she was moving flawlessly and going back to New York to meet
with her hospital team and share the experience.
Conclusions: Frequent surgery created a blockage in her
meridian paths caused rigid and tense muscle structure
and stiffness in the joints and restricted movements; the
medications promoted stomach irritation, insomnia, and
constipation. The Holistic approach of Ancestral Medicine has
achieved a fast and long lasting result.
