Case History # 4:
Patient: 28 years old, Female, Asian
Major Complaint: Chronic gastritisPatient complained of huge amounts of bleeding with stool for past 5 days. She went through colonoscopy. The result was negative. With endoscopy, they found a large size ulcer in her stomach. Past several years she had to wake up at 5AM and eat a piece of food to calm down her stomach pain. Her bowel pattern is either constipation or severe form of diarrhea. Chronic indigestion always goes with every meal she takes.
Diagnosis and Treatment
The patient was confirmed as a metal major constitution. Ulceration of stomach in Pulmotonia is the disharmony between the liver, pancreas, and heart.
Treatment
- Nourish liver 4 times
- Reduce pancreas 2 times
- Reduce heart 2 times
- All in one session, every other day
Treatment Results
After 2 treatments, bleeding decreased noticeably. After 8 sessions, her bleeding completely stopped, her bowel was well regulated and only a little bit of indigestion still remained. Four more sessions were recommended but she wanted to try a 1 week liquid diet instead.
Dietary Consultation
Patient is a pasta lover. She loves all kinds of noodle dishes. Wheat is one of the worst foods for Pulmotonia, as it will increase metal Force in their lungs to the extreme and cause severe weakness of liver. After the liver gets weak, the pancreas will go into hyperactive conditions of ulcer or tumor. She was told to abstain from wheat, red meat, legumes and dairy products for the rest of her life.
