Japanese Acupuncture and Deep Vein Thrombosis
By Alan | September 14, 2008
G’Day,
Hope all is well in your world.
Whilst the video in this post concerns Japanese Acupuncture treatment to assist Neville’s recovery from adult onset Chickenpox and subsequent Deep Vein Thrombosis, it is with awareness and respect for the strength and power of orthodox medicine and associated pharmaceuticals in relation to the treatment of DVT that this video is presented.
Whilst unaware that Neville was suffering from a life threatening condition and I had little hesitation in referring him to his medical practitioner, especially considering the inexplicable degree of swelling, lack of any physical trauma and his inert response to his initial Japanese Acupuncture treatment.
Thanks to the thoroughness of his medical practitioner and the effective treatment Neville received during his hospitalization, he is well on the road to recovery.
I register no claims that Japanese acupuncture treatment is specifically effective in the treatment of this dangerous condition, however, I do believe that by continuing his acupuncture treatment Neville is giving himself every chance of a full recovery, not only from DVT but from the deleterious after-effects of a severe dose of adult onset chickenpox.
He continues to take the appropriate medication and maintain medical supervision for his condition , in addition through Japanese Acupuncture we have been able to mollify many aggravating symptoms, including unusually strong headaches, restless sleep, lethargy and general mental fogginess.
Here is the Video of the entire treatment.
I guess the moral of the story is, ’If you don’t know, refer to someone who does!’
or
‘Failure to refer through our ignorance is of no help at all to our patients.’
I am pleased to report that Neville and his lovely wife, Lori had breakfast with me yesterday on the veranda of the Rainbow Bay Surf Club overlooking the magnificent Gold Coast after which we happily strolled up, over and around Point Danger, across the border, from Queensland into New South Wales.

I remain relieved and infinitely grateful that we were able to enjoy the brilliant sunshine and blue skies of an almost perfect spring day.
The outcome could easily have been so very, very different!
Hope you have a good one,
Alan
