ABSTRACT

The article discusses the case of a patient (53 years old) who, following an ultrasound of the neck and blood tests, is diagnosed with a possible Riedel’s wooden thyroiditis. The symptomatic picture in the last three months before clinical examinations is characterized by disturbed sleep, poor mental concentration and joint pain in the middle finger of the right hand. The patient undergoes three weeks of treatment with orgone irradiation of the TCM channels, using the orgone projectors pictured above. A regression of symptoms and an improvement in thyroid values is reported. However, after the treatment period, the patient abandons the therapy believing that the improvement was not dependent on orgone treatment. A month later, the situation worsens with decidedly altered thyroid values, so he returns to therapy with continuous treatment of orgone irradiation for the next 5 months. Following the second phase of treatments, the patient reports a gradual improvement in the healing process.

INTRODUCTION

Treatments with the use of shooters, whose rigid metal tubes have been replaced by flexible tubes and structurally adapted in order to locally and precisely irradiate the TCM channels, have been carried out and studied in the last 40-50 years with applications on a varied panorama of diseases (1). A study was recently published that demonstrated the effectiveness of a more advanced version of these tools in treating a female patient (87 years old) suffering from arrhythmia and hypertension with an almost total reduction in the drugs taken (2).
In this case history, the case of a patient suffering from possible Rieder’s ligneous thyroiditis, a rather rare form of thyroiditis that makes thyroid tissues fibrous, effectively treated with orgone irradiation on the TCM channels, is reported.

CASE DESCRIPTION

The patient, Giacomo (53 years old), a man of a rather lively and "fierce" character, following various symptoms from which he had been suffering for about three months, undergoes an ultrasound of the neck and blood tests in September 2023. Symptoms included disturbed sleep, poor concentration, increased acne on the abdomen, and pain ranging from the middle finger of the right arm to up the limb. In addition, the patient has some altered liver blood test values, an inflammation of the ear and a slight heart murmur. It is important to underline the maternal family history of thyroid problems. The blood test shows a thyroid picture that is not normal (table 1), while the ultrasound of the neck shows a possible Riedel’s ligneous thyroiditis (figure 1), although for doctors that diagnosis is not definitive.

When, towards the middle of September, I visited him, the patient reported a very stressful period spent in the last few months due to several factors:
1) His partner was pregnant and there was a desire to give birth at home.
2) There was an urgent need to move and renovate a newly purchased house.
3) The responsibility for managing the mortgage necessary for the purchase of the property; and finally,
4) The work of a lawyer is very demanding.
In addition, it should be emphasized that temperamentally the patient has a certain degree of narcissism that manifested itself in a tendency to control, difficulty in letting go and a tendency to belittle the opinion of others.
Even upon subsequent visits, these traits, associated with a certain perfectionism that led him, after the birth of his son, to assert excessive control over his partner and a certain relational rigidity, will re-emerge as points to work on.
The whole picture leads back to a weakness of what in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is called the Pericardium channel. The TCM pulse diagnosis of the wrist confirms the hypothesis, as it highlights a strong weakness of this channel. The Pericardium channel is not just related to the pericardium membrane, but rather represents an energetic functional unit that performs fundamental tasks related to the protection of the heart, in particular it filters what may be possible emotional impacts and has to do with the way we perceive ourselves in relation to others.
A detail that Giacomo tells me with difficulty, but which turns out to be very interesting also to complete the diagnosis, is that all the symptoms began after a puncture of a black locust thorn on the fingertip of the middle finger of the right hand. He had told the same episode to the other doctors who had examined him, but no one had given it importance. In fact, the Pericardium starts exactly from the middle finger and the acacia thorns have a minimal dose of toxic substances so most likely that turned out to be the triggering event precisely because of the influence that the sting had on the Pericardium channel.
Another important fact that makes us understand the connection between the Pericardium and the thyroid is that the Mo Point (or Mu Point) of the Pericardium (4) is the 17CV point (Shān Zhōng) (5), located at the midpoint between the two nipples at the level of the 4th intercostal space, which is a key point in the treatment of thyroid problems.

TREATMENT

The treatment is initially done by the patient independently according to my instructions with the use of two orgone projectors. The prescribed treatment is as follows: 17CV, 6P (these two points to be treated 3 times a week, while the rest of the treatment 2 times a week), 7H, 6K, to be alternated with 23K, 8K, and 14B, 18B, 36S, 8P.

After a month I see the patient again who is not keen to see me. He tells me that he has been using the projectors for about 3 weeks with irradiation of the indicated points with a frequency that is close to the recommended one. He also told me that thyroid values have returned to normal, even though he doesn’t show me the blood test itself, but I perceive his mistrust of the fact that orgone irradiation has favored the restoration of a certain balance. In fact, on his own initiative, he had stopped the treatments even before seeing me again and returning the projectors. All this is towards the end of October 2023.
A month goes by and Giacomo makes himself heard because, from a follow-up investigation, the thyroid values are again out of the norm even if the symptomatic picture is not as serious as the first time I saw him. He does not want to believe the results of the tests and categorically rejects the opinion of the endocrinologist who prescribes Eutirox (Levothyroxine) for life. He even sends me the recording of that meeting!
It is evident that there is a general predominance of his narcissism which is expressed in not accepting himself in a "disadvantaged" position and in devaluing the experts to whom he gradually turns and, ultimately, in wanting to do his own thing. This will also lead him to continuously procrastinate the blood tests that I prescribe during the months of treatment.
In any case, we resume the treatment in the same remote mode, since he lives quite far from my office. During the first course he had managed to follow the treatment to the letter and had obtained good results.
The treatment that I prescribe at the end of November, and which also aims to work on the character traits described (that are nothing more than the most apparent part of the latent energy imbalance) are as follows: 17CV, 22CV, 7KI, 4HT (3 times a week), 6PC, 34GB, 6SP, 3HT, 23B, 4GV (2 times a week), 14LR, 8LR (1 time a week). We would have seen each other in a month, but in December 2023 the patient is not available to meet, citing various work and family commitments as a reason. He sends me a photo of the analysis done in December from which the TSH hormone (6) is out of the norm (figure 2).

In early February 2024 I visit the patient and notice that he is a little less rigid. He tells me that he is fine, but I propose that he continue with the following treatment: 17CV, 22CV, 7K, 6Sp, 11CV, 8Liv, 5TE, 23B, 47B (all points once a week). Blood tests from March 2024 confirm the positive trend with a further improvement in the TSH hormone (table 2).

I saw the patient later, but not for clinical reasons and I can confirm his good health.

In the last four years of clinical practice in general, I have always seen excellent results in treating thyroid problems, both in acute cases such as the one just mentioned, and in chronic cases. Orgone irradiation was also effective in a case where the thyroid gland functioned excessively and after about 3 months of treatment it was possible to reduce the drug. Unfortunately, however, in all the cases treated, with the exception of the one presented in this article, I am not able to establish whether the treatments had produced a definitive cure because patients have always had to give up orgone therapy before the end of the course citing various reasons (8). In general, however, in all the cases treated, there was improvement in the symptoms related to thyroid dysfunction already with the first 5-10 sessions of orgone irradiation.

CONCLUSION

The present case history relating to a patient suffering from possible Rieder’s ligenary thyroiditis demonstrates the efficacy of orgone irradiation on TCM channels, even considering the patient needing commitment to make treatments at home independently. There were periodic check-ups of course. However, this modality has highlighted the difficulty of carrying out a complete therapeutic process. In addition, the patient’s emerging character traits precluded the possibility of establishing an optimal therapeutic alliance in the little time available together during the sessions. In any case, an improvement in thyroid parameters was observed throughout the treatment period and drug therapy was avoided which, most likely, would have further weakened thyroid function and caused unnecessary dependence on drugs by the patient. This positive result was obtained even with a particularly difficult kind of thyroiditis that is accompanied by an actual hardening of the local tissues.
