Steve there is a combination of two classic Chinese herbal formulas, Xiao Chai Hu Tang Plus Wu Ling San. Can't promise a cure but seems to treat the symptoms. TCM does not specifically treat western diseases but relies upon a differential TCM diagnosis. This differential may indicate a different herbal formula for the same "disease" in another person.

California Licensed Acupuncturist & Herbalist -----Original Message----- From: S&JY [mailto:youngst...@konnections.net] Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2005 6:46 PM To: Silver List Subject: CS>PMR Anyone have any reliable information regarding treatments for polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) besides the use of steroids (e.g. prednizone) and inflammation/pain reducers like ibuprofin? These control the pain but are not very effective in curing the problem. Most literature regarding PMR says the cause is unknown, and the cure seems to be the passage of time - perhaps 6 months to two years augmented by 5 to 10 mg daily doses of prednizone. Are there known useful alternative treatments, e.g. colloidal silver, that can speed recovery? Thanks, --Steve Y. -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
