This patient had visited many hospitals, and had received various examinations and treatments, but the symptoms were still not controlled, and needed several hospitalizations. He was in a very painful state. In 2005, he came to the Respiratory Department of Clifford Hospital and after clinical examination, was diagnosed as having “asthma, not controlled; allergic rhinitis; refractory urticaria”.
The patient was a severe hypersensitive patient, thus doctors formulated a treatment plan with a combination of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine: 1, According to the Global Asthma Prevention and Cure Proposed Program, give a high dose of inhaled glucocorticoid and ß2 receptor blockers; 2, Use Chinese Medicine treatments, such as meridian point injection therapy, cupping cup, ear acupoint therapy, Chinese herbal treatment; 3, Give a special therapy of Clifford Hospital, plasma local hyperthermia and detoxification. After 3 courses of treatment, the patient's symptoms of asthma, allergic rhinitis and refractory urticaria were all obviously controlled. From then on, this patient had never visited other hospitals in Guangzhou. He has follow up consultations at the Respiratory Department of Clifford Hospital regularly, and has had no further asthma attacks or hospitalization.
Asthma is caused by various cells and cell components involved in chronic airway inflammation, which caused inflammations associated with increased airway reactivity, resulting in recurrent breathing, shortness of breath, chest tightness and/or coughing symptoms, usually occurring at night and/or in the early morning. Poor control of asthma, not only seriously affects the normal work, study and daily life of sufferers, frequent recurrent asthma attacks could lead to lung function damage and chronic obstructive pulmonary emphysema, with chronic pulmonary heart disease in the late stages. Disability rate, death rate and incidence rate are all high. It is a serious hazard in human health disease.
Nearly 200 million worldwide are suffering from asthma, with nearly 10 million patients in China. Currently, only one-third of patients receive regular treatment. Even if the global asthma control was in accordance with the proposed program of formal treatment, some patients still fail to achieve complete control.
By using the Global Asthma Prevention Program, combined with Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion, hyperthermia and detoxification, Clifford Hospital has achieved significant results. Complete control rate has markedly improved. Some patients achieve complete control and lead a normal life, in study, work and sport.
