Well, we are not dead yet.
N. has had no recurrence of his eye pressure. He is faithfully doing his BD 20 mns a day.
M. is OK and eye pressure is completely normal.
I am on my 54th day and about two weeks ago I saw perfectly well, no cataracts and much less myopia (improvement of 4 dioptries!!!! which I could check with old glasses). Unfortunately this did not last as next day it was back as before.
This happened again today. YEAH!!!!!!!
I suppose I just have to wait until it happens more and more regularly until it is on all the time???!!!???
I found this on a site about Chinese acupuncture (sorry I lost the link):
"Since the measurement of eye pressure, the excess of which is a symptom or cause of glaucoma, is a modern day invention, there is no mention or word for glaucoma in historical Chinese medical literature. However, modern day practitioners of Chinese medicine have defined the cause of this fluid pressure in the theoretical logic of Chinese medicine. Though circumstances may vary according to the age and condition of the glaucoma sufferer, the most prevalent cause of glaucoma is excess damp (fluid) forced upward in the body by rising heat (energy). A common source of this heat is a deficiency of Yin, causing and upward rising of Liver Yang. Treatment of glaucoma usually consists of draining excess fluids, subduing the rising heat, and tonifying the underlying deficiencies if they are present. If anger or emotional excess is the cause of the rising heat, these issues must also be addressed."
I suppose I just happened on a way t do just that !!!!!!!
The interesting part is that it seems to work on cataracts too.
To be continued....
I normally only post on Iodine forum.
Glad to see those who appreciate your great posts!
Congrats! Great find!!!
Here is some more on it for those TUB dwellers.
Cold friction Sitz bath: Sitz or hip bath was first devised by a German Loui Kuhne. You need a tub for this kind of bath. There should be as much water in it as would come upto you side of the tub and your legs should protrude out of the tub on the other side. Your feet could rest on a stool. In this way the part of your body from the navel upto the middle of thigh will be immersed in water. While sitting in the tub you rub your abdomen with a rough towel from left to right and then from right to left. Take such a bath for 5 to 20 minutes at a time. Gradually increase the duration of the bath from 5 to 20 minutes. On getting out of water, dry the body by rubbing with a dry rough towel and put the clothes on. Ordinary bath should be taken only after an hour of this hip bath. After hip bath either sit in the sun, do some exercise, stroll or take a blanket and lie down for half an hour. In this way with water at (78.8F) and then gradually brought down to water at (59F).
Cold friction bath: Take cold water in the palm of the hand and rub it well on the body with a soft touch till it gets dry. Again take more cold water and rub it dry. Thus rub the whole body. It has a soothing effect and increases blood circulation considerably.
I bypassed the 24 dollars and found the technigue somewhere.
Thanks for providing these interesting details Torn!
The way I do it is similar to the friction bath but in effect quite different.
I would say it is a blend of the friction bath and the Karsai Nei Tsang, a Taoist practice involving massaging the genitals.
It is a kind of Karsai Nei Tsang with the value of cold water added. Not as thorough as Karsai Nei Tsang because you cannot do it to yourself completely, but you can do more than half the movements on your own.
And maybe more efficient in some ways than Karsai Nei Tsang because of the cold effect and because you can do it regularly, no need to go some place to find a qualified therapist, which is obviously not something you want to do on a regular basis. Apart from the unavailability of such a person.
An interesting difference is in the use of temperature. Karsai Nei Tsang uses hot compresses : maybe being traditional it comes from a time when there were no icecubes? Maybe the cold is efffective because it brings a renewal of blood with subsequent heat? So the ice cubes are actually heating?
One way or the other this is an area where temperature is extremely important, if only to conserve motility of sperm. So I suppose there must be some kind of feedback effect with the thyroid and the brain.
Both of the sitz baths recommended in that book you found carefully avoid the most important areas, or I would say avoid touching the important areas where most of the lymphatic knots are situated, reaching them only through the effect of cold water. No doubt that SIN is in mind.
I read the book and it is well illustrated and very clear.
Some videos also I think. Mantak Chia does produce a video.
The technique is known elsewhere as "Jap Kasai" when for men and "Yok Thong" or "Yokutong" for women. Apart from Mantak Chia in his Tao Garden, there is another school I know of teaching it and producing a video, this is NBS in Chiang Mai (Thailand).
Their video is in Japanese I think : http://chiangmai-massage.com/english/dvd.html
I have not seen the videos. The excerpts on Youtube don't really show what it is about.
A lot of the gestures are done on the lines which are rubbed while doing the BD (Bains Dérivatifs) : the line from top of the hip to perineum. After reading the book I have changed my gestures from a simple to and fro movement to a progressive circular movement, small circles with pressure along those lines, broken every time I have to refresh the cloth. It seems to work better as I feel more activity under the scalp. Hair gets quite greasy very fast and I have to wash it more often, a sure sign of detox from the head. As well as red itchy patches that last one day behind the ears and at nape.
