Has anyone ever tried chinese medicine? - I have recently spoken with our local chinese herbalist and he is the only person who has heard

of PSP outside of the hospital neurology departments, no other doctors, nurses or very few other health professionals we have met along the way.

hi dorothy,

hope your keeping well i havent tried chinese medicine but i tryed

holistic therapy called eft (emotional freedom technique) which is

basically a version of emotional acupressure and is based on the ancient

art of chinese acupuncture instead of useing needles to clear energy

channels a light tapping motion is used on the acupuncture points that

are located on the meridans that carry our energy throughout the

body i have used eft for treatment of CBD for the last 7 months

and it has helped me so much infact the last time i saw the doctor

he said it hadnt got no worse over the last year some parts of it

had even inproved, i would recomend it to anybody its a wonderfull

treatment,

ray

Dear friend was recently diagnosed with PSP came across this site was wondering if you are still doing the acupuncture. If so how is it doing? Thank you.

Yes, we did. A combination of accupucture and herbal drink. Unfortunately, it was no help. Both of us are true believers in eastern medicine and have activly pursued it for other ailments and had success. It was just another disappointment in the case of PSP.

Thank you both for this. We have made an appointment for next week - so watch this space!

Hi Dorothy

I didn't try it with dad, but I was diagnosed with ME which affects the central nervous system and has some debilitating symptoms and I did try Chinese medicine for this and it worked extremely well. It increased my energy levels and helped to clear my very woolly brain. I too had Herbal tea drinks, Acupuncture and even some indian head massage It did, however, take some time as all holistic medicines do and I would just advise that you persevere before making a decision that its not working.

Good luck with it.
