Case Histories

Case History # 3:

Patient: 38 years old, Female, Asian
Major Complaint: Constant lower abdominal pain

This patient was diagnosed with chronic endometriosis. She has bloating and pain throughout her menstrual cycle, whether she is actually menstruating or not. Additionally, her stomach can't tolerate pain medications of any kind prescribed by her gynecologist.

Diagnosis and Treatment

Step One: The patient turned out to be a Metal Major constitution. People with this type of constitution are born with a weak liver. They have a really hard time digesting wheat and dairy products.

Step Two: Lower abdominal bloating is the result of disharmony between the liver and pancreas. Pain due to the internal bleeding of endometriosis is a sign of disharmony between the liver, stomach, and heart.

Step Three: Treatment Formulas.

Plan 1: Nourish liver four times
Reduce pancreas two times
All in one session, twice a week for one week.

Plan 2: Nourish liver four times
Reduce stomach four times
Reduce heart two times
All in one session, twice a week for eight weeks.

Treatment Results

The lower abdominal bloating was completely gone after Plan 1 treatment. Ninety percent of her pelvic pain was gone after the Plan 2 treatment.

Dietary Consultation

This patient loves to eat mushrooms, which tonify the lung and reduce the liver. She was strongly advised not to eat mushrooms at all for the rest of her life. It is best for her to remain vegetarian, because green leafy vegetables are the best food to nourish the liver.
