NEURAL THERAPY IN PRACTICE ARCHIVE

Dear Colleagues: I would suspect that most of you experienced in neural therapy know the "thrill of the hunt" - hunting not for antlered animals, fast flying fowl, or flitting fish, but for those invisible interference fields!  Searching for interference fields...

Dear Colleagues: Neural therapy is unique in Western conventional medicine in its focus on regulatory mechanisms, specifically those involving the autonomic nervous system.  For this reason it is sometimes called "Regulation therapy".  Of course a healthy body...

Dear Colleagues: This month I would like to report an interesting case I saw in my office demonstrating the effect of interference fields (and their treatment) on body chemistry.  An otherwise healthy 65 year old man presented with numbness and tingling of his right...

Dear Colleagues: Have you ever wondered about amalgam tattoos? - those blue-purple discolorations of oral mucosa near amalgam filled teeth, or where amalgam filled teeth previously existed?  Biological dentists generally recommend they be surgically removed as part of...

Dear Colleagues: The feedback from my e-newsletters is the main reason that I continue to write them, now for 5½ years.  It is satisfying to know that they are being read, that they provoke discussion and sometimes raise questions. A recent letter is an especially...

Dear Colleagues:    This month I would like to discuss the clinical importance of the upper neck: the atlas-axis region and the lower occiput.  The importance of this area has been discovered by a number of medical "schools of thought" and may be important in neural...

Dear Colleagues:   Last month I discussed vitamin B12's importance in the practice of neural therapy and some of the practical aspects of its use. What the discussion boiled down to was a recommendation that daily vitamin B12 injections should be given as a...

Dear Colleagues:    Last month I mentioned briefly how vitamin B12 helped to improve a patient's response to neural therapy.  In my experience this is not an unusual occurrence, so this month I want to discuss vitamin B12's role in neural therapy in more detail.   ...

Dear Colleagues:   When conveying ideas about neural therapy (or any other area of medicine), case histories can be very helpful.  Short and concise histories work best.  Irrelevant material is trimmed away to bring out certain teaching points.    As useful as they...

Dear Colleagues: For anyone practicing neural therapy, the subject of mercury toxicity comes to the fore sooner or later.  Mercury toxicity is a common cause of poor response to treatment; it may block regulation; it may underlie "too many" interference fields, and it...

Dear Colleagues,   This neural therapy newsletter marks the beginning of our sixth year. I want to use this opportunity to thank you - my readers, for all the interesting feedback and encouraging letters. They come from all over the world, are often informative, and...

Dear Colleagues:    This month I would like to continue my report on neural therapy in Latin America. I am using the term "Latin America" this time because I want to include Puerto Rico, which of course is not (geographically) a part of South America.  I will explain...

Dear Colleagues:    Some of our readership have recently returned home from attending a "Mid-winter neural therapy retreat" at a country inn in the hills just north of Ottawa in Canada.  The purpose of these "retreats", held every two or three years, is to allow...

Dear Colleagues:    This month I would like to discuss a commonly overlooked reason why our patients do not respond to neural therapy as well as they should.  I am speaking here of course about those in whom an interference has been identified and treated, sometimes...

Dear Colleagues:  Last month I suggested some methods for diagnosing toothache, when the dentist has found no obvious cause for it.  These included interference fields in the tooth itself, or in nearby autonomic ganglia (usually sphenopalatine ganglia for upper teeth...

Dear Colleagues:    Physicians are not often asked to see patients for toothache.  And most physicians wouldn't know what to do anyway.  However we sometimes see patients with toothache, either before or after they have consulted a dentist.  The vast majority of cases...

Dear Colleagues:    Tourette's Syndrome is a relatively common childhood neurological condition.  Its signs are so distinctive and so peculiar, that even lay people can diagnose it.     This is what happened about a year ago, when a worried mother brought her nine...

Dear Colleagues: I have often lamented the lack of peer-reviewed literature on neural therapy in the English language.  However this deficiency should not prevent us from reading what has been published and so I have included in this newsletter a few abstracts from...

Dear Colleagues: Last month's newsletter was about neural therapy's ability to mobilize toxins, sometimes in unexpected and/or unwanted ways.  The teaching case described a 50 year old woman who had undergone successful detoxification for chronic mercury poisoning...

Dear Colleagues:   The prolific American-Japanese engineer, surgeon, scientist and acupuncturist Yoshiaki Omura is a proponent of what he calls "selective drug uptake enhancement" using acupuncture techniques.  The idea of "drug uptake enhancement" acknowledges the...

Dear Colleagues:   I suppose we all know what the term "irritable bladder" means.  It is one of those expressions that is neither symptom nor diagnosis, but which we employ to describe a constellation of symptoms.  The term overlaps with many others - bladder...

Dear Colleagues: This month I would like to bring up the subject of unintended harm (by physicians) to their patients and how it relates to neural therapy.  Iatrogenic is the term we use to describe it.   When we think of iatrogenic illness, we usually consider...

Dear Colleagues:    I wonder if you find pain patterns as interesting as I do?  This is a subject that first drew me to orthopaedic medicine, the late James Cyriax's system of identifying the precise anatomical locations generating musculoskeletal pain.  In addition...
