Heart problems, complex case

Currently working with a patient who has long history of cardiovascular and related problems:
--- generally overweight since childhood
--- rheumatic pains as a teenager
--- high blood pressure almost since 8 years old
Later in addition to this:
--- stratification of myocard and heart aneurism
--- blood clot in aneurism cavity 
--- coronary thrombosis
--- heart attack May 20
Several years ago he was hospitalized for developing stroke which was attributed to the thrombus
parts escaping into bloodstream.

Additionally:
--- some digestive problems 
--- skin rush on face and chest which at times becomes very annoying
--- kidneys cysts
--- eye astigmatism

His Energy Constitution was determined as:

--- excess of Burn, Dampness and Dryness
--- as a result, Wind, Heat and Cold are insufficient
This case is well illustrating how Constitutional energies in serious imbalance are enough to cause all the above problems; more, simple scheme to correct Constitutional energies appeared giving faster effect than most fundamental Triorigin scheme  for cardiovascular problems.





Evaluation:

1. High blood pressure:
Heat-Heat: Burn excess


2. Rheumatism:
excess of Heat (inflammation), Dampness (swelling, dull pains) and Dryness (degenerative processes in tissues, sharp twisting pains)

3. stratification of myocard: 
Heat--->Heat (cardiovascular system)--->Wind (muscles i.e. myocard): Heat excess

stratification is harmful Yang energy:
--- Wind starts any process
--- Burn is actually a rupture of a tissue, so the energy in between corresponding to developing 
stratification is Heat








 4. heart aneurism, quite usual location in upper part of ventricle:
Heat--->Heat--->Wind--->Cold (top part of heart): Dampness excess
aneurism may be regarded having the same energy behind as varicose veins (Dampness)

6. the most dangerous of all, the blood clot in aneurism cavity:
Heat--->Heat--->Cold (location in heart)--->Dampness(aneurism cavity): Dampness excess

5. coronary thrombosis:
Heat--->Heat---> Heat (coronary vessels): Dampness excess

6. heart attack: 
and related posts
Heat--->Heat (cardiovascular system)--->Wind (muscle, myocardium):
Cold (and Dryness) excess

Acompanying problems:
7. skin rush:
Dryness (skin): Heat, Burn, Dampness excess


8. kidneys cysts:
Cold (kidneys): Dampness excess
the same pathogenic energy as for aneurism, blood clots, overweight

9. eye astigmatism:
Burn--->Wind--->Burn---> Cold (lens) or Dryness (cornea): disruption of 
energy resulting in irregular or toric curvature of them.
Tests can reveal the problem area and it can be mapped by corresponding energy giving the 
full acu recipe.

It is seen the same energies arrange in different combinations giving different conditions.

Diabetes I type case, in details, session 10

The days before session 10 the patient decided to further drop insulin doses as he was
feeling some hypoglycemia.
For session 10 fundamental Triorigin scheme was replaced by a scheme in 8 Qi
which:
--- helps broaden the action since Triorigin schemes work on the deepest (anatomically) level of
the bones and bones facsia while schemes in 8 Qi work closest to surface
--- the action is the same fundamental
The scheme also used autoimmune approach, with incorporated sequence to prevent 
destruction of beta-cells membranes, similar to fighting aniphospholipid syndrome:

If Triorigin schemes work was not felt in details by patient, for schemes in 8 Qi he clearly felt 
the energy flow mostly on his back and his state was changing from physical and emotional uplift
to being almost flat.

Work on Core meridians was continued with meridians:


the scheme the same as before:

Every time scheme on core meridians is being done,
the patient feels strong flow of energy coming inside
giving much more energy regardless of what schemes
were used in a session before this.





Sugar levels:
18.10.11 - 6.0
19.10.11 - 7.2
20.10.11 - 13.5 (after a meal for hypoglycemia)

He's now having 14 + 14 units of long-acting insulin and 10-12 units of fast-acting insulin, and it seems 
the doses can be dropped more.
