G6PD by Gila Varis Case Study


Original Post Date: September 8, 2016 by Gila Varis
A young man, age 28, comes to see me in my office. He has symptoms that include tightness in the throat, sinus drainage, and gastrointestinal symptoms. He was diagnosed with strep throat, put on antibiotics, but still has sharp pain in the throat. I put together a Chinese herbal formula for him, he recovers and I don’t hear from him until 6 months later.
Using the testing methodology I learned from Matt Van Benschoten, I start testing to see if he has a reaction to foods in my test kit. The test showed that he does not tolerate beans, which is why I ask him about his ancestry. He has Native American, Serbian, and Spanish in his genetic make-up. I run signals and identify that g6pd enzyme deficiency is the reason he is not able to maintain his health.
G6pd is a shortened name for “glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. This condition is also known as Favism. In my research on this enzyme deficiency, this is a recessive genetic defect on the X chromosome.  It predisposes people to hemolytic anemia. It is predominant in the African, Asian, Mediteranean, and Middle Eastern heritage.
I put together a customized Chinese herbal formula to address the issues in his body, and instructed him to avoid all foods that are legumes. He reports to me within one week that he’s never felt better.
Ten percent of the world population is affected by g6pd. There are several variations of this condition. Those people who are affected severely by it will have symptoms appearing in early infancy and childhood. Those people who have a milder version of it won’t start showing symptoms until later in their lives.
There is no cure for g6pd enzyme deficiency. However, this condition can be well managed by following a dietary regiment that includes avoiding all legumes, aspirin or salicylates, sulfa, and certain prescription medications. A custom made Chinese herbal formula that was created for this young man speeded up the recovery time from the presenting symptoms.

More details of the condition g6pd will be addressed in the next article.

Acupuncture in the 21st Century

Original Post Date: April 23, 2013 by Aydin Bengisu In the last 35 years acupuncture has come into its own as a viable, modern medicine for treating many ailments. The inner workings of acupuncture continue to be identified by standards set by Western medical research. Acupuncture theory states that the needles regulate the flow of energy circulation via 14 channels that course through the body. Anatomical studies reveal that 80% of acupuncture points lie along major blood vessels, lymph vessels, nerve pathways, and connective tissue planes that surround the internal organs. Acupuncture is effective for pain relief, post-surgery and chemotherapy-associated nausea and vomiting. The World Health Organization and National Institutes of Health recognize acupuncture as effective for many illnesses including addictions, respiratory, orthopedic, gastrointestinal, circulatory, immunological, gynecological, and neurological disorders.

Depression and Traditional Chinese Medicine: Treating the Mind and Body as One by Jordan Hoffman, L.Ac., Dipl. OM

Original Post Date: June 23, 2016 by Jordan Hoffman Case 1:  A 35 year old female presents with frequent colds and flus, allergies, has had asthma since she was 16 years of age, around the time there was a death in her immediate family, and depression. Case 2:  A 21 year old female college student complains of indigestion, recurrent yeast infections, long hours of studying, poor eating habits, and depression. Case 3:  A 43 year old male complains of high blood pressure, Hepatitis C, stress, 2:30am wake ups every night, anger and frustration over his career, and depression. Three completely different presentations, yet all three patients complain of depression.  In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), we see the body and mind as inseparable; the health of one affects and reflects the health of the other.  We look at the patient’s collection of signs and symptoms, be they physical, mental or emotional, as indicators of organ system imbalance, and we treat those imbalances w

Ginger: Ancient Wisdom and Modern Pharmacology

Original Post Date: April 23, 2013 by Matt Van Benschoten Ginger is a common spice that has powerful medicinal effects. The Divine Farmer’s Materia Medica describes ginger as treating chest fullness, cough, arthritis, and dysentery. Ginger is spicy and warm and helps to induce perspiration in the early stages of common cold or flu. Nausea, vomiting, and food poisoning are alleviated by taking ginger root as a tea or powder. The modern scientific investigations of ginger bring us new information and new applications in clinical medicine. Ginger reduces the toxic effects of acetaminophen and alcohol. Pain relieving and antiangiogenesis effects make ginger beneficial in inhibiting cancer growth, with specific effects for stomach, liver, pancreas and melanoma. Ginger enhances the effectiveness of Taxol chemotherapy, controls vomiting and protects the kidneys from Cisplatin chemotherapy. Ginger stimulates the bone marrow to increase GM-CSF and white blood cell counts. Ginger is an
