Are Prior Surgeries Connected to Parkinson's Symptoms? Published by admin at 11:35 am under Natural Remedies Parkinsons treatment Question: Are Prior Surgeries Connected to Parkinson's Symptoms? Response Scars from surgeries interrupt meridian pathways in the body. It is important to heal the scar tissue so that all channels of energy that nourish your organs and tissues are unobstructed. What do I mean by channels? There are well documented energy pathways in our bodies that are given difference names in acupuncture: The stomach meridian, the liver meridian, the spleen meridian, etc. You can find charts of these pathways in the library. Surgery on your foot or hand or any part of your body for that matter interrupts the flow of vital energy across any one or more of these pathways. Acupuncturists place needles along the meridian lines that need a jump start. It is like recharging the battery of a car. An acupuncturist may place needles in your foot or neck to address issues with your digestion or mood. For example, let's say you have had surgery on your hip recently. There is a big scar on your upper thigh that is located at the center of your body. This scar tissue from hip surgery creates a systematic interruption in the energy pathways that nourish one or more of your vital organs. Check out the meridian charts to see if any surgeries you may have had lie on a key meridian. Do not be surprised to discover you may be having difficulty with an organ that is connected with the meridian that happens to cross the scar tissue. Let me be clear that no one in the research literature has identified scar tissue as a factor that is related to the symptoms of Parkinson's. I personally believe that it can aggravate the symptoms, so why not address the problem? The remedy is cheap and easy to do. No expensive tests are needed. No prescriptions need be written by a medical doctor. Simply find wheat germ oil in a co-op or health food store. Apply the wheat germ oil to the scar tissue twice daily. The treatment takes 15 seconds. I personally purchase wheat germ oil in capsule form. I then apply the wheat germ oil directly onto the scars on my body that resulted from surgeries. That is all there is to it.
