symptoms that show healing

I used to have several outward physical symptoms.
- the whites of the eyes were yellow
- the tongue was yellow with a greasy texture
- the finger prints had lines all through them (typical of celiacs disease)
Anyway I no longer have any of these symptoms. But the reason I mentioned them, is because many people out there may have similar symptoms. And one of the ways to know if a certain protocol is working for you, is by the changes of these symptoms. The tongue is normally the first to clear, a healthy tongue is normally a bright pink. Not red, not white, and not yellow.
The lines in the finger printss corellate with the bowels according to certain experts. Perhaps not getting enough minerals... I do not know. However as the bowels recover, the lines also disappear. I had so many lines through my finger prints that you couldnt even see the prints in several areas on my fingers. These only took about 3 months to go away.
The yellow in the eyes as far as I know has to do with infection in the Ears, Nose, and Throat. My assumption is that it somehow is discolored. Anyway as the infection leaves, the eyes become whiter.
Now the reason I brough this up is because its hard to find anything out there that might be shown as signs of healing. A person could give up a protocol that is actually having a generative effect on the body. Sometimes what is thought to be a reaction is actually the body healing. The body can become weak and irritated. Cloudy urine used to mean that I ate something I shouldnt have, but during healing it happed several times... each time the body getting stronger. And sometimes a reaction is a reaction. Hopefully this helps out.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,351,640I have lines going towards the top of the fingers so from the hand up to the first and second joint. I notice the most lines are on the left hand. I am left handed. Do you know about this?

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,351,684sorry I do not... I only know that the lines in the finger prints are indicative of problems in the intestine. Yours sound much like mine were... they were worse on the first and second parts of the finger extending from the hand outward. The tips of the fingers had some lines, but not as much.
Not sure as to why one hand would have more lines than another. I got this information after reading about it in a book in regards to celiacs desease. If I had to make an asumption, I would think that there would be some sort of imbalance in your meridians. The meridians are semetrical on the body as far as I know, and one might be blocked more than another.

This is a reply to # 1,351,640When the whites of my eyes are yellow its my liver. I get my enzymes checked and they have usually gone up (bad sign).
I dont understand the tongue analysis because according to the colour of my tongue I should be bouncing around full of health and vitality. Its a lovely healthy pink colour....but yet I am housebound and sick as a dog.- Re: symptoms that show healing CandidaInContext

This is a reply to # 1,351,816Many people who have candida afflictions do have a yellow greasy tongue, and then there are probably many that dont. According to TCM the yellow greasy tongue stems from to much damp heat. This imbalance can lead to candida flourishing in the body. How or why... I do know claim to understand.
Now then... I am not a professional when it comes to diagnosing illness by looking at the tongue. If you want a professional evaluation I strongly recommend you find a China trained TCM practitioner. Because even though your tongue may be a bright pink, they may see something else you or I may not be aware of.
But if you do not have a discolored tongue, I would think this is a good sign. During the treatments with my TCM doctor eventually I reached a state of Depression and total fatigue. My sleep was interupted constantly, and I wasnt in the best state of mind. Nothing really depressed me, it was just something that came up around me. Little did I know that the treatments the Doc was giving me were getting rid of the damp heat, but they were also slowing the already stagnant chi in my liver (according to what I remember the doc telling me). And that explained the depression, fatigue, and poor sleep... he was actually waiting and looking for these symptoms before starting the next stage of treatments. My tongue was bright pink at the time... and he said that the damp heat had left my body. At this time he told me I was going to heal up, and that he would now focus on getting the liver chi flowing.
So you may not have damp heat... just stagnant chi. But there is no way to find out unless you see a Real TCM doctor.- Re: symptoms that show healing Ladywear

This is a reply to # 1,351,973I did see a TCM practioner a while back and he said I had damp heat. I tried to get him to explain what that means in a manner I understood but all I could grasp was that candida is damp...I dont know what the heat is?? Although my tongue is nice and healthy looking in colour it is slightly swollen with some teeth indentations at the sides which in chinese medicine I think is related to the spleen. It was all very complicated - they seem to view candida from a completely different angle (which isnt a bad thing) and my practioner was keen to focus on "why" I had the candida in the first place. They seem to focus alot on the liver and the spleen. Sadly I couldnt tolerate the chinese herbs and the acupuncture was very very good but the treatments were just far too strong. I cant believe I am this ill but yet my tongue looks so well! Last time I "recovered" was down to TCM so I think it does have alot to offer.

This is a reply to # 1,352,011hmmmmm.... if you decide to go back to your TCM practitioner, just tell them that the treatments are too strong and to hold back a bit. From my understanding a practitioner normally starts light and then works up to a tolerable level. But this may not always be the case.
So did you recover when using TCM? Did you stay the full course? and after recovery did you continue to see your TCM Doctor regularily for check ups? I appologize in advance for my curiousity... please do not answer if you do not want to.- Re: symptoms that show healing Ladywear

This is a reply to # 1,352,019No I dont mind answering you - its no problem!
It was actually years ago when I first got sick with candida/cfs that I saw a TCM practioner. He didnt use acupuncture needles, he used electro acupuncture which is very very strong. I only had a very short session in which he "balanced" my organs, particularly my liver which then enabled me to detoxify and drain things away (he used different terminology). He also practised complex homeopathy - he gave me some drops a combination of chinese herbs and homeopathic remedies to clear the candida. Inspite of my small session it was all too much in one go - however it was enough to stimulate my healing and was about the only thing that did in years of trying to get well myself. He went in with a sledgehammer approach which I dont recommend - I was very sick initially but after the major detox I was so much better. I could eat a more balanced diet because my food intolerances cleared up and I could walk for miles. However inspite of him balancing and strenghting my organs I still relapsed after suffering massive stress and eating too many sweet foods. I dont think anyone or anything can ever fully "cure" me....I will always be prone to this illness, I will always have to take care of myself eat properly and look for alternative methods of treating minor complaints. More importantly its finding ways and means of dealing with/managaging stress. I keep thinking I may try a more gentle approach - find a different TCM practioner because for me it did work (for a long number of years until my relapse)- Re: symptoms that show healing CandidaInContext

This is a reply to # 1,352,052fascinating... so after suffering massive stress your body began to crave lots of sweets again. And the candida flourished. I am sorry to hear about your TCM practitioner going at it so strongly, he perhaps made a mistake in his diagnosis. I am sure he/she did not do it intentionally.
I have heard of them hooking up electrodes to the needles, but have never used that therapy. My practitioner will put the needles in, then move them around a bit so I feel the aching pain. Leave them in for a half hour, and move the needles again before taking them out. He said it stimulates the meridian points. So that might be what the electricity does, it might stimulate the point a little further.
Good stuff... Thankyou for your Reply- Re: symptoms that show healing Ladywear

This is a reply to # 1,352,455Do you find that acupuncture using needles is a strong treatment? How do you feel afterwards? I have heard mixed feelings - some saying it really helped then others saying it was too strong and made them really tired and drowsey for weeks. thanks

This is a reply to # 1,352,483I personally had no problems with the treatments. I had areas that seemed tender after a couple of days... but that could just be the body reacting after the chi in a particular meridian after it was stimulated. I did have times of weakness and such... but it was part of the treatment.
My practitioner used a combination of herbs and acupunture. He started off very slow, using needles which were not long... and doses of herbs which were not strong. He watched me to see how I reacted. I eventually got stronger and stronger treatments. The needles got longer (not wider), and the herbs worked their magic. I went once a week.
I think that if someone has a harsh reaction to the needles it could be a result of a few things. The practitioner doesnt necessarily know the extent of the illness... and makes the diagnosis as best they can. This is why they normally start off slow, because harsh reactions can happen. But the reactions can give a Doctor some more information in regards to further treatments. I get the feeling the people who have, what they feel are negative experiences... never go back for further treatments.
The person who is getting the treatments may be resisting them, resulting in further sickness. This could be conscious or subconscious. IE Stressing out over every little thing that crosses mind.
The extent of a persons illness may have side effects of weakness... this could be part of the healing process. Or it could be poor treatments. There can be a myriad of things contributing to a persons illness. The person might also be drinking or eating foods which goes against the Doctors protocol.
I would suggest seeing a very compitent well trained Chinese TCM doctor. My Doctor for example studied for 8 years at a University in China, and apprenticed/practiced for another 40. He is able to perform surgury in his homeland, and has many treatments he is expert in... not just herbs and acupunture. This is not a hocus pocus doctor. Not a 2 year college student. TCM has thousands of years of theory behind it, unlike other eastern practices. If a new protocol has achieved something, it is kept in chinese TCM libraries for atleast 1000 years. TCM is extremely effective when performed by someone who is expert. I know first hand... I have wasted cash on local college grads.
I would also look for other healing signs in the body... as I mentioned earlier, to determin the quality of their treatments. Aswell talk with the practitioner and see if they are able to answer questions within their paradigm.
I also recommend that a person learns how to eliminate stress as much as possible... this is probably the most important part. But many will not follow this path because they believe that the mind and body are seperate, and the body is only a plumbing system. The books I recommended helped me achieve alot in regards to stress and healing.
In the end you gotta do what works for you, and if your meant to heal... you will find a practioner in any field who will meet your needs.

This is a reply to # 1,352,538Good post CandidainContext. Thanks for posting. You were very fortunate to find such an experienced and competant practioner. They are a little thin on the ground in UK. I do like their approach though....food for thought - I might do some searching around. Thanks again

This is a reply to # 1,351,640I also have lines in my fingers. It is like you have been in the water and they are "pruned". I have celiac disease but the dr. sometimes calls it gluten intolerance because the endoscopy did not show flattened villi. I had been eating basically gluten free since I felt better when I did. Now the dr says I have SIBO and she is treating me with an Antibiotic for 60 days.
What caught my eye about this message was the lines in the fingers. I only saw this one other place and was wondering what book this came from.
