Patient Word:
Dean is going to come back to Canada and ends nearly one month of treatment in China. In the departure time, we are all happy.
4 years ago, Dean was diagnosed with chronic nephritis. The local hospital applied Prednisone acetate tablets 60mg once per day. This is a common treatment for chronic nephritis. He took this treatment for one year. Unluckily, he was found that fasting blood-glucose is 29mmol/L and was diagnosed with steroid diabetes.
After that, Dean begins the life of insulin injection in the morning and evening.
The dosage is increasing and weight also begins to increase significantly. Although symptoms of kidney disease are well controlled, insulin injection every day bothers him very much.
Glucocorticoid is a counterregulatory hormone of insulin and has obvious interference effect in glycometabolism.
Dean has such a doubt: without steroid, kidney disease cannot be treated. However, if steroids are used, diabetes occurs and then insulin injection have to be done every day.
With this doubt, he comes to China and begins to accepts Chinese Medicine Treatments.
At the beginning, he also does not believe our treatments since external application of Chinese Medicine is different from oral medicines in his imagination. But two days later, he does not think like that because he sweats a lot.
In the treatment of kidney disease, the function of steroid is to inhibit immune. We cannot take steroids as main treatment. Steroid therapy only take subsidiary function.
The aim of treating kidney disease is to cleanse immune complexes depositing in kidneys. We apply oral medicine, external application of Chinese medicine, Chinese Medicine Foot Bath and Steaming Therapy, etc.
When he leaves our hospital-Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, his weight becomes 81.3kg from 87.2kg.
Another good news is that because of the hormone decrement and regulatory effect of Chinese Medicine, he has eliminated insulin injection. This is his biggest harvest of China trip.
