Some Medical Treatment Tips

Some Medical Treatment Tips

Here are some medical treatment tips that even doctors do not know:

After 20 years of observing Western medical treatment, physical rehabilitation, and treatment of Dissociative Identity Disorder, I have concluded that the level of Western medical treatment is primitive.

Tango

Tango should be included in all physical therapy and physical rehabilitation for partially paralytic patients.

The paralytic and patients with movement disabilities seem to be able to dance the tango. The tango steps seem to allow the paralytic patients to stabilize their steps. Tango is the only classical dance that is able to do this. Waltz and Latin dances cannot do this.

Walk Against the Wall

A person with movement difficulties can be taught to walk along the wall alone, without falling. Face the paralytic patient against the wall, and have them lean and move sideways along the wall. This helps to improve coordination.

Slurring Speech

Slurring speech is the result of degeneration of verbal association, not enunciation. Enunciation treatment for patients with slurred speech is useless. Therapy for slurred speech must prevent the degeneration of word or sentence association, instead of vocalization training. Reading poetry is a more effective approach.

Pressing the Left Little Finger

Once I was invited to take a look at a bed-ridden man, who was completely paralyzed from the neck down, who had to be fed through a feeding tube. Food often blocked his ability to swallow, causing him to choke. I showed the nurse that by pressing the left little finger, the patient could be made to cough and eject the food that was blocking the esophagus. By pressing the left little finger, I was also able to make his paralyzed left leg jump several times. That means that although the nerves in his left paralyzed leg could not associate with the signals coordinated by the brain. his limbs were still functional.

Herniated Discs

Never perform surgery on the spinal cord. Disc herniating can be easily corrected by pushing the disc back in place with the hand.

Stand the patient against a wall. A protruding disc can be gently pushed back in place by hand. A concave herniation can be corrected by having the patient bend over the back of a chair to allow the concave disc to adjust its position.

H2O2

Hydrogen peroxide can effectively eliminate Hong Kong Foot, or Athletes’ Foot, crotch itch, and drying, cracking, and bleeding skin on the hand. Soak the feet and hands in hydrogen peroxide and let them bubble. After the bubbling stops, the fungus will float as white specks and foot odor will be eliminated.

To treat crotch itch, use a cotton pad soaked in hydrogen peroxide, and wipe the affected areas. A burning sensation means that the fungus is dying.

No skin ointment can kill the Athletes’ Foot fungus.

Vinegar and Baking Soda

Using vinegar and baking soda together as toothpaste can be used to whiten teeth.

Sennae leave tea

To eliminate hard and dry feces, drink a cup of sennae tea. It is a strong purging agent.

Chiropractors’ Deadly Bed

Chiropractors’ bed with a head hole is a near lethal contraption. Never place your head in the hole, and never allow your chiropractor to manipulate your neck while your head is trapped.

Tail Bone Rub

To stimulate the desire to urinate, rub your tail bone.

Hot and Cold Foods

Lychee and longan are hot foods. Watermelon and oranges are cold foods. Excess consumption of hot fruits such as lychee, longan, and ginseng will cause nosebleeds. Excess consumption of cold foods such as watermelon and oranges will cause diarrhea. Hot fruits are often consumed in winter, while cold fruits are often consumed in summer.

The fruit called fire dragon fruit, which grows in Taiwan, will cause urine to be pink or reddish. Those who consume the fire dragon fruit the first time often mistakenly believe it is internal bleeding, however, the coloration comes from the fruit. The color will go away after the second stool.

Neutral fruits like bananas, papayas, and cantaloupes are alkaline. Cold foods are often acidic like lemons, oranges, and apples. Hot foods are also mostly alkaline and can neutralize acidic foods. For example, the alkalinity of bananas and papayas can counter-balance the acidity of oranges.

Apple cider is acidic and may cause diarrhea, whereas tomato juice is usually alkaline, and does not cause diarrhea. Papaya and avocado juices are alkaline, and like warm milk, can counter acidity.

Dissociative Identity Disorder

Western medical treatment of neurological diseases are equally primitive. Treating Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) with medicine is useless, yet there is no other way. So far these are a few of my observations, and I hope they will help in the treatment and physical rehabilitation of these patients.

A DID case is characterized by a sudden switch in personality as well as changes in physical capability.

A patient was brought back from the hospital, diagnosed with partial right side paralysis and blindness. Later on, the patient’s personality made an unexpected and sudden transformation. At this change, she also exhibited a shocking alteration in her physical capabilities and agility. She was able to move in quick, rapid motions with no sign of her previous physical disabilities. In this case medication and other types of treatments have all failed to stabilize the patient’s split personality.

Way to reduce Rituximab effect found

Way to reduce rituximab effect found

Each year, 3,500 Taiwanese get lymphoma, and 60% of them are placed on rituximab chemotherapy.

Rituximab activates hepatitis B virus and leads to acute hepatitis and acute liver failure.

Proactive intake of preventative hepatitis B antiviral drugs before administration of rituximab for lymphoma reduces the 55% revival rate due to rituximab therapy down to 2.5% recurrence.

At present, there are 1,234 lymphoma patients who are hepatitis B sufferers.

This report can be found in the June 2019 edition of the Journal of the Formosan Medical Association.
