NEURAL THERAPY IN PRACTICE ARCHIVE

Dear Colleagues: This month I would like to present an interesting case of  "shortness of breath".  "Shortness of breath" can mean a lot of things, but in this instance my 28 year-old female patient meant that she was experiencing something closer to "air hunger" - or...

Dear Colleagues: Regular readers will know that in my own practice, neural therapy is frequently intertwined with osteopathy. Often I find situations where either therapy might be helpful and it is not clear which one to choose. A recent discussion with Nicolas...

Dear colleagues: It has always been my hope that this newsletter would be used as a forum for exchange of experiences and ideas related to neural therapy. This month I would like to devote the entire issue to an interesting report from a reader (who incidentally I met...

Dear Colleagues: Is neural therapy an alternative/complementary medicine?  Or does it belong in "Schulmedizin" (the German term for conventional medicine)? These questions were raised at a recent IFMANT (International Federation of Medical Associations of Neural...

Dear Colleagues: In last month's newsletter I reported a case of a woman with chronic cardiac arrhythmias, unresponsive to medical treatment, who responded to neural therapy of her T6 vertebra.  I was pleased to receive an email from Dr. Pablo Koval of Argentina...

Dear Colleagues: This month I would like to report on the recent international neural therapy conference in Bogota, Colombia. This was a major event with close to 500 participants from all over Latin America and Europe. Neural therapists came from as far away as...

Dear Colleagues: Perhaps I am not alone in finding myself forced to come to grips with that all-too-common condition known as "irritable bowel syndrome" i.e. abdominal pain and bowel dysfunction of unknown cause.  Gastroenterology has never been my favourite subject...

Dear Colleagues: I would expect that cardiac "palpitations" or "a sensation of a heartbeat that is rapid or irregular in some way" would arouse the interest of any physician practicing neural therapy.  Palpitations, or the subjective experience of cardiac arrhythmia,...

Dear Colleagues: I have just returned from attending the Heidelberg University Neural Therapy Meetingon July 1st and 2nd and I thought that you might like to know something about it.  The meeting combined a series of neural therapy workshops with a Scientific...

Dear Colleagues: This month I plan to discuss international neural therapy conferences. By the time you read this, the Turkish one (June 2-5) will have been completed - the 6th one to be held in Turkey. These are large meetings with many interesting lectures and...

Dear Colleagues: This month I want to describe an interesting case of hip and leg pain with a surprising component that was treated successfully by neural therapy. The patient was an otherwise healthy woman of 62 years whose pain had developed while exercising four...

Dear Colleagues: A 65 year old man presented in my office with a leg problem that had begun a month before with a sprain of his knee while walking on a beach in Bali.  Apparently a wave had thrown him off-balance while his foot was anchored in the wet sand. At first...

Dear Colleagues: One morning this month a 70 year-old woman presented in my office with what she feared was "rheumatoid arthritis" in her hands.  Rheumatoid arthritis ran in her family and she was experiencing pain in both hands - in her thumbs and first metacarpals. ...

Dear Colleagues: Last month, my case report of post-herpetic neuralgia ended by my administering magnesium after several only partly-successful neural therapy treatments. Magnesium was the final touch that permanently corrected my patient's pain. In my...

Dear Colleagues: Is it possible that the incidence of herpes zoster ("shingles") is on the rise? An interesting case of post-herpetic neuralgia in my office has had me pondering this question.  I had heard the suspicion expressed that varicella (chicken pox)...

Dear Colleagues: Neural therapists have known for a long time that the wisdom tooth (or wisdom tooth space) is a common interference field, and one with potentially major repercussions on the body's health.  It is common (approximately 50% of dental interference...

Dear Colleagues: September 16, 2017 was a big day in the history of North American neural therapy.  On that day a group of 11 physicians gathered at the Chicago O'Hare Hilton with the purpose of forming a North America association for neural therapy. Most of those...

Dear Colleagues: I have had two patients in the last couple of months that brought to mind the importance of the lower thoracic sympathetic ganglia.  These ganglia are difficult to reach with the neural therapist's needle, but important for a variety of reasons.  Both...

Dear Colleagues: I have just returned from the Austrian Neural Therapy Society's conference in Vienna, and would like to share something of what I learned.  The program had a good variety of subjects and speakers from German-speaking Europe and the Spanish-speaking...

Dear Colleagues: This month I want to spend some time re-visiting autonomic response testing (ART), a method of detecting interference fields that was discovered in the early 1990s by Dietrich Klinghardt and Louisa Williams.  This was a breakthrough for North American...

Dear Colleagues: I am often asked (by patients) my opinion as to the pros and cons of dental implants.  Usually this is occasioned by the dentist recommending an implant either as an alternative to endodontic treatment, or to replace an extracted tooth, or to anchor...

Dear Colleagues: Have you ever considered that dental cleaning might be a health hazard? (I don't mean brushing one's teeth, but rather the professional dental cleaning by hygienists.)  Most experienced neural therapists probably are aware of this, but for the sake of...

Dear Colleagues: This month I would like to present an unusual case of post-concussional syndrome.  Last month I wrote about intracranial interference fields; this month I want to demonstrate that extra-cranial structures can contribute to post-concussional symptoms...

Dear Colleagues: I recently attended an osteopathic manipulative workshop - a brain-stretcher in more ways than one.  It was a three-day course sponsored by the American Academy of Osteopathy, taught by Bruno Chikly, MD, DO and entitled "Palpating and treating the...
