Looking For Sjögren’s Patients

Last February I spent a week studying with Dr. Huang in London. One of the topics we discussed was Sjögren’s Syndrome. I’m eager to apply my new herbal knowledge of this condition. The first ten Sjögren’s patients who respond and are willing to commit to three months of therapy will receive an evaluation for only $50 and 30% off their herbal formula.
Sjögren’s Syndrome, an autoimmune condition causing dryness of mucous membranes, in particular of the eyes and mouth, is very difficult to treat. Chinese Medicine has a way of “reframing” the condition in terms of the patient’s internal environment. Herbs are given to counteract internal imbalances.
My herbal teacher, Dr. Huang, has experience in treating this condition. Although there is not a “Sjögren’s formula”, there are Chinese herbs that can be helpful and these are combined into a formula that fits the patient. Sjögren’s patients will get the same core herbs for that condition, but each individual formula may vary according to the exact symptoms that person has. This is the beauty of Chinese Herbal Medicine. It is infinitely adaptable to how Sjögren’s Syndrome affects you personally. The initial evaluation will be comprehensive and your formula may help you with problems unrelated to Sjögren’s Syndrome as well.
I would like to treat each person for a period of three months. The initial intake and monthly evaluations will be only $50 per visit. If you need a session in between your monthly evaluations, the charge will be $30 for additional visits. (I don’t expect this to be necessary.) There will be no charge for followup consultations made by phone. Specially made herbal formulas with bulk herbs or granules will be discounted at least 30% for the three month treatment period. It is hard to know how much a week’s supply will be until I write the formula, but our herb prices are very reasonable even without a discount.
In exchange, I would like a commitment for three months and your permission to write up and publish the case studies (all patient details would remain anonymous) should I decide to publish the results of this venture.
