Rheumatism

We are suffering from Rheumatism or arthretis since before christ.As I know, this cause is not searched out yet.In japan,  since  Taishou till early Showa era ( round about from 1922 till 1938 )  Mr Ken Sawada was a famous moxibutionist.I think he is one of great moxibutionists in 1900' of japan.He said in his book" 「shinkyushinzui」  essensce of acupuncture and moxibution "Rheumatism is not disease.It' cause is fever of the small intestines.We called it as pain of knee joint or gout.Rheumatism  sounds like very serious disease for japanese.It means  only "flow "in original meaning,but docters can not call rheumatism as the same meaning as 「I dont know or cnnnot cure」 in germany"he satired Western medicine and doctor ,I think.
But unfortunately no one took over his work from him. Because his successor coul not understand his way of fundamental treatment,then no one can not cure rheumatism until now .
Anyway I will show you my treatment.

Feb.25.2000
Her condition is good although her slight cold. I change needling acupoints,because her fever of left small intestine meridian is vanished. Then her left lung meridian get fever. This is a symptom that  her body condition has began to change good,I think.Because the root cause is a fever of small intestin 
meridian. Her swelling of back of hands has subsided and fever of wrist has been bringing down.
