A 55 year old woman, came to me complaining about a sudden deterioration of her fingernails. Her fingernails were indeed fragile, soft and easily bent.  She couldn’t associate this sudden deterioration of her fingernails with any recent event or a specific medicine. She also complained about issues with her digestion,  constipations, bad sleep, occasional hot flashes and a sense of cold in her back.

Diagnosis

First I performed a computer test using the TestBalance device, according to Su Jok theory. You can see the results of the test on figure 1.

A 48-year old women had been suffering from a severe form of climacteric syndrome for two years. She had very frequent “hot flashes”, suffered from panic attacks and often experienced chest oppression and heart palpitation. Her dreams were very disturbing. Preceding to that she often suffered from constipation and had a chronic bronchitis. Her medical history included a surgery, which removed the uterus and lowered function of the thyroid gland. This patient smoked a lot. She had a contraindication to hormonal prescriptions and therefore she wanted to be treated by alternative medicine.

A 25-year old man had been suffering from mouth ulcers for many years, when he came to see me. The ulcer was extremely painful and the area around it looked slightly swollen. The ulcer wasn’t permanent, but would come and go periodically. The patient consulted conventional medical specialists on multiple occasions, who gave him various prescriptions that only helped for a little while and then the ulcers would reappear.

(A mouth ulcer is an open sore inside the oral cavity. Typically it looks like a white oval on flesh with an inflamed red border.)

One day I run into a man who draw my attention, because his right hand hung limp. It was unusually thin and the muscles were atrophied. The right side of his face didn’t look quiet normal. The right eye was smaller than the left and his eyes expressed a lot of sadness. In our conversation he told me that several years ago he had an accident and had went thought several surgical operations. In opinion of the medical experts his right hand couldn’t be restored. Beside that, he had been suffering from a deep depression for a long time. He had no appetite and smoked a lot. He had bad dreams and he couldn’t sleep past 5am and he hardly ate. To add insult to injury he had issues with his sexual performance.

He didn’t work, because he had a disability. I wanted to try to help this man and I suggested that he come and see me.

A 35 year-old women had been suffering from abdominal pain for several week weeks, when she came to see me.

(Abdominal pain indicates pain in any part of the abdomen below or just around the umbilicus).

She was very upset. The pain was on the left down side of lower abdominal and was not related to the menstrual cycle. The pain was aggravated with her bowel movements and when she moved. She visited her family doctor, made all tests and no pathology was detected. Also she had problems in her family and was depressed.

A 35-year old woman, my patient, came to me with a strong pain over the left eye. The pain was throbbing in character and aggravated when lying down. She lived near my house and therefore she was able to come to me as soon as she had the pain.

Earlier I treated her for back problems. Also she was inclined to depression in connection with a problem in her family.

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.

A sixty year old woman, has been recently suffering from a strong bronchitis, which was formed after she had a flu. Her cough was so strong that she had run to a washroom after each attack and these attacks were very frequent. The X-ray of the lungs did not show any inflammation. In addition she had severe pains in the right part of her thorax which were aggravated at a sigh. She has been very upset since she had been ill for more two months without any signs of improvement.

I agreed to treat her, and requested that she came to see me several days in a row.
