medicine for the specific organ.
If you called Mukesh and said, `I got liver problems of this and that, send
something.` most likely you would get a good something for that. Unless of
course he turns into a cheater, which I doubt since he wants to keep a good
connection.
Therefore this machine is good for diagnostics. The whole trick in medicine
is diagnostics for the medicines are there in all kinds of disciplines. One
can even get herbs off the street that work good.
If someone has a kidney problem, first try Lapidar 5 from Kuenzle, then worry
about bigger endeavors.
In this way we can solve our problems.
However, this pulse diagnosis is also very good. If we learn the pulse
diagnosis and the Wohl machine and use both, then we will get a good
diagnosis. But the diagnosis is only as good as the brain of the diagnoser.
So someone with a good brain has to do this, but then if there is a good
brain they are already doing other things. And we would need one for the
boys and one for the girls. And if they weren`t perfect somewhere, or made a
mistake, then the devotee grapevine would spread the word that they are
useless and that is the end of them. Tough life.
So we should avoid being rather absolutist about our knowledge of this or
that medicinal system until we actually know something. I am sure that even
the worst Ayurvedic doctor knows more about it than we do. It is tough being
a doctor, especially for us since we are so weird.
Enuf for know.

After I came back from India 1984 I got very sick in my stomach.
After that I had very difficult to digest for 2 years. Then 1987
in the spring I visited Dr. Beitz in HD. She used the electric
analyser and from that she concluded that I had a very weak
bacteria culture in my stomach and intestines. So as a cure she
gave me something called Symbioflor 1 and 2 - two bottles with
bacteria culture. I used it according to her instructions and
after that cure I got rid of practically all my problems. It could
of course have been a coincidence, but considering that I had the
problem for more than 2 years without any real cure, the chance
that her cure actually worked is quite big.

I have a high fever, pounding headache and shivering now and then. I
tried the orange juice cure and it helps to bring the fever from 40.7
to 40. Am I suppose to keep drinking this orange juice all at one time
until the fever comes down.

For the headache part take aspirins regularly. Keep up with the juice.
Rest, don`t work.
Maybe you got hepatitis too?

day, they take the tonic then and then 2 other times in between.

I never studied Shiastsu per se, but have some experience
with acupressure massage. Here is what I do.
1. Take twelve point pulse (like the Chinese still do and
like Ayurveda prescibes)
2. Determine on the basis of Symptoms and Pulse Diagnosis
which organs are too weak or too strong or otherwise out
of order (swollen, tense...)
3. Prescribe:
a specific asanas
b pranayama
c diet
d acupuncture points for massage
In cases of not so severe problems a,b,c usually are enough
When for example two doshas are disturbed, then a,b,c are
generally too slow and massage is also mandatory -also for
certain things (especially tension) massage is simply faster
in redistributing
the energies in the body. So most of the devotees here know
what kinds of foods they should eat, etc and also what their
"points" are (although devotees cannot maintain these bodily
things very well, they`re the "worst" patients in the world.
