A woman came to me for over six years of burning tongue sysndrome and
muscle weakness. She said that she could not bear the severe burning pain
further more because the pain continued all day long without even a second of rest.
As you know she was not aware of herbal treatment so she had resorted to the
hospitals of western medicine saying of syndrome that means that there is
no treatment ways in western medicine system.
It was lucky for her to find another treatment way of Sun medicine(one of EAM)
and escaped from the six years of hell.
This case is recorded a little earlier than usual cases because the treatment is
not finished yet but the result shows evident recovery and my interpretation of
its pathology is very right. So I have to record this case now for preventing from
forgetting to record this case.

2. Chief Complaints
In the year of 2004, she was diagnosed as myasthenia gravis(sever muscle
weakness) and have taken chemical drugs( dosmin? I am not sure the spelling)
for five years and stopped taking it six months ago.
At the same time of 2004, she noticed her tongue had troubles of pain, being
tensed and flare and the symptoms last so far. However, though she cannot
remember exact time, she feels the pain of flare in her tongue for all day
long without even a break.

4. Diagnosis
Liver weak
Heart weak
Spleen usual
Lung weak
Kidney usual
5. Pathology
You can understand my omitting to explain the process of MG and dosmin prescription
because the theory of western medicine is well known but not perfect.
In the view of Sun medicine, myasthenia gravis comes from the weakness of liver,
heart and lung. It can be explained with evaporation theory of lung. For easy
understanding, this means that the blood cannot carries the nutrients to the muscle cells.
To compensate this shortage, the heart have to overwork, which produces fever on the
heart. So the symptoms might have appeared further earlier than she got the diagnosis.
I mean the symptoms of burning tongue and myasthenia gravis have long history over
six years.
She stopped the dosmin but the body remains same as before or worse than before.
The symptoms of MG are hidden or expressed as other signs. The burning pain without
even a break is the very one of other signs and indicates the limitation of total capacity
of five organs.
No one can not live with severe pain without a break for all day long. In this case,
a normal body mechanism makes the place of pain isolated not to send pain signal.
This kind of protection mechanism means the burning pain of tongue might be
progressed to be cancerized.
So to treat her burning tongue syndrome is not only to treat itself but to treat her MG
and to prevent tongue cancer. I am not sure that how many readers will understand
my explanation of this mechanism. If you stay at the western medicine that is based on
biochemical analysis, you will never see the intergrating organism.
Her disease still stays at the Blood Portion so far and not infiltrate into Chung Portion
(Jung portion 精分) remarkably.

1st Result
Dramatic! As they say so!
She confessed "It is really mysterious!"
At the moment of hearing her first surprising words, I was embarrassed in my heart
because she surely pretended herself as she was fully understanding my explanation
regarding her symptoms and the pathology and treatment plan at the first time.
Soon later, I understood her mind. She had never gotten a slight hope for her symptoms
for over six years. She might have thought of me that I would be a one of her visiting
list to confirm that her symptoms are surely incurable. Anyway I was not so good.
I advised her.
"When you face to any troubles looking like no way in future, you have to
think there are always some ways if you can change your own thinking ways."
The followings are her own check list.(Her real expressions)
No pain on the tongue except when she is tired.
The tongue got smaller than before.
The mouth got smaller than before.
The palpitation appear sometimes.
No bleeding on the eyes
Not felt troubles on the throat
Good sleeping at night
No stomatitis
But still inconvenient facial muscles around eyes.
The below is my checking list adding to her.
Decreased scratch marks

It is very surprise thing changed in a short period. That is because her disease
stays at the Blood Portion still.
However, her MG is still remain with rooting deeply, 5-6 of prescriptions shall be
required further more.
2nd Prescription
Added for purifying blood
She is taking now.
I am sure she will be better and forget her past at all soon.
If any troubles in her recovery, I will update surely.
