[MPWG] Help Needed

Wed Mar 1 01:45:50 CST 2006

Dear Kohli ji,

        Although our Traditional Healers are not aware of this trouble by name but on the basis of symptoms they can suggest some herbal treatments. I will put it in simple words among them as next week I am visiting to them. If possible please furnish little more information about the patient.

  regards

Rabiah,

I have translated this to the best of my ability but I have also sent it to my friend Cathy to be sure I haven't made any critical errors in translating.  Basically, it appears that Francisco has a progressive neurological disorder (sounds like Multiple Sclerosis???) for which he has been told there is no traditional cure.  He is desperate since physical labor is the only way he is able to make a living.  He is begging for help or advice.  My heart is sad for him.  I hope you can guide him in the right direction.  Translation below.

BIG HUG!

Habiba

I was told to ask your advice or a treatment because I have visited many places and have not found a solution for the illness I have been diagnosed with 10 yrs ago (infermity of Charcot-MarieTooth, Type 1, Nerve type) and whose symptoms become more aggravating with time.  The problem consists in the loss of "mielina" (coating), to the nerve that loses it covering, deteriorates until there is total destruction.  The "esquince" (distention of the ligaments) of the ankle is becoming more frequent and I'm losing feeling and movement in my hands and feet.  It is for this reason that I was directed to you to beg for a solution or at least a treatment if one exists.  All the specialists I've gone to have said the same thing, that there is no cure for this condition.  Every day my plans for the future are unraveling.  I give thanks to my family for supporting in everything but at time the symptoms of the illness take over.   There is always work in the field of construction, I don't know how
 to do anything else.  After graduating from school, my parents were unable to afford higher education so I had no other choice than to find work making a living, but the way this illness is advancing, my life is being destroyed little by little.  I can't sustain myself if it isn't by physical labor and I have no idea how I will make a humble living.  I have always kept a healthy diet and exercised to stay fit and here I am facing this point in the illness taking over and that is why I ask for help to find out whether in the future my life can change for the better or if possible provide me with the name of some treatment so I can survive in this cruel world.  Oh, the neurological specialists can't help me because there is no effective cure in traditional medicine.  This is why I send this message to see if anyone can advise or help me establish the equilibrium to the organisms that support the lipoproteins in the veins of the "mielina" that are necessary for proper functioning. 
 With nothing more to add, I sign off attentively begging you for an answer.  Cordial Greetings, FDJimenez
