Yesterday, I met a patient who had two problems
1. Constant shaking of the head (for 7 long years)
2. Lost vision in left eye after a cataract surgery.
She was old and was in a pitiable state. And the all-wise "doctors" had told her that this head shake cannot be cured. I gave acupressure treatment alone - and her head shake reduced to a visible extent!!!
What was painful to note was that she expects a free treatment - at her doorstep.... (in short - she wanted me to spend to treat her) I want such people to think. How much will it cost if you were to visit a regular doctor? Your travel expense - doctor's consultation fee - medical expenses etc...Next time when someone comes to your house to treat - the very least you can do is to give him/her the travel expense.
On top of that - she was bombarding me with questions like
1. what is the reason for this head shake and loss of vision?
2. Which organ is affected?
3. What points will you needle?
4. How long will you treat?
I was a bit amused because if she had asked the same questions to the surgeon who did the cataract surgery - what answer would she have received? Even after paying close to one lakh (0.1 million) - no question was asked. But when someone comes to treat out of good will - free of cost - thousands of questions!!!!! I did not want to offend her - and I have decided to give up anger totally. My former self would have easily said "GET LOST" and walked out.
We learn valuable lessons in life. And the lesson that i learnt is that "treatment should not be free". I do have a list of patients - therefore my time is at a premium. Therefore, from now on - i will not be visiting patients. I request all patients to come to the clinic after fixing up an appointment. This way I can serve a lot more people - and I will not be treating everyone freely. I still would not mind treating the really poor - without charging a penny but why should i be taken as a fool - even by an old woman on a royal pension?
Sorry - if i was ranting...
Coming to the disease of head shake :
All movement in the body is due to air in the body. Increased "air" will lead to shakes and tremors. Decreased "air" will lead to inactivity or loss of motion (like paralytic attack).
Within the body - Liver is an important organ which controls all body movements including movement of qi and blood. Through proper movement of qi and blood - it essentially nourishes the tendons and thereby controls body movements. Calming the liver will lead to reduction in shakes and tremors in various body parts. On the contrary, activating the liver will lead to motion or movement in various body parts.
With such a clear understanding, any acupuncturist can easily start to treat a spectrum of conditions for which allopathy or western medicine has no cure.
START TREATING PEOPLE - BUT PLEASE CHARGE A NOMINAL FEE - BECAUSE ANYTHING FREE IS NOT APPRECIATED.
