My patient, a 50-year old women, works in the stock market industry and holds a very responsible position.

As part of her job, she is required to make extremely quick decisions, and act before she had a chance to think. Recently this demanding situations hasn’t been working too well, and as a result some mistakes were made. That and not being able to have time to think to avoid similar mistakes in the future led to even more pressure and inability to perform well at this demanding job.

This constant stress resulted in quarrels at home and conflicts with her colleagues on work. She complained of having bad dreams, dominated by a very bright high frequency color.

Even at nights she couldn’t rest and her head continued to work. Obviously in the morning she gets up tired and nervous. Not a good way to start her days at her highly stressful job.

My patient came to me with her 14-year old daughter. The girl had been suffering from epigastric pain for a year. (“Epigastric pain” means pain in the stomach area.) During the epigastric pain sometimes there was a headache. At age of 12 the girl had the Gall Bladder removal operation. Her mom recalls that in her early childhood the girl often expressed anger and used to be very irritable.

The girl was very worried before the first treatment and refused to do acupuncture.

Her mom thought that some of the medicine her daughter took could have been the cause of the pain, but she couldn’t figure which one if any was at fault.

A 54 year-old woman had been suffering from a strong allergy which manifested as a strong skin itch in the wrist area and a strong stomach swelling, especially in the evenings.

After the course treatment of cortisone preparations failed to deal with the condition, and since none of the other conventional medicine she had tried before worked, she contacted me.

She told me that she had been suffering from a climacteric syndrome since the age of 49.

Based on the previous experience I’ve decided to check whether she might be allergic to gluten. Gluten is known to cause an allergic reaction to people who are sensitive to it. Gluten is a usual ingredient in bread and other flour-based products.
