I've been trying some Chinese medicine. Just for information - first the meaning of some words:
Stroke: 1.Something likened to a blow in its effect, as in causing pain, injury or death, as an attack of apoplexy or paralysis 2. A sudden disabling attack or loss of consciousness caused by the interruption in the flow of blood to the brain, esp through thrombosis; apoplexy. Apoplexy: 1. Marked loss of bodily function due to cerebral haemorrhage. 2. A sudden loss of consciousness, voluntary movement, and sensation caused by blockage or rupture of brain artery; a stroke. CH Cathay Herbal - TCM Traditional Chinese Medicine I had a TIA few months ago - lost the use of my left arm for about 20 mins. Decided to look for something to use to chelate - what I wanted is extremely difficult to come by in Oz. So I went on to a number of supplemental vitamins etc, & cayenne drinks [as a chelator] plus I tried Cathay Herbal's CH/028 Astragalus Anti-Apoplexy Combination [ Bu Yang Juan Wu Wan] [ www.cathayherbal.com ] - for the prevention of stroke (long term use). TCM action: Tonifies the Qi, quickens the Blood and unblocks the Channels Cautions: Not to be taken immediately after a stroke when the cause is cerebral haemorrhage. Or during pregnancy. Go to the site and look it up. I began taking it about 6 weeks after the stroke. My results were that my headiness and high blood pressure reduced and my BLADDER INCONTINENCE CEASED!!! After just one bottle of pellets! It can be taken in combination with CH/141 Qi Ju Di Huang Wan [ Lycium, Chrysanthemum & Rehmannia Formula - says a commonly used formula for visual disorders due to ageing or diabetes. Caution is for digestive problems and loose stools] Which I have yet to try - if my blurred vision improves, I shall let you know! These are herbal combinations. The first I tried was small brown pellets CH/028. You take 8 pellets 3 times a day 1/2 to one hour either side of taking -away from food and drink other than water. I was most excited about regaining bladder control - that is listed as one of the things it can do. Every day I eat a banana [potassium], a magnesium tablet, Vitamin E cap, Calcium cap, CoQ10, fish for one meal or a fish liver oil capsule, anyway, 007 isn't concerned about my high blood pressure any longer. If you are cautious about trying TCM's consult a practitioner - I've got the manual as my guide. Judith. -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
