THE PRACTICAL VALUE OF A KNOWLEDGE
OF THE SYMPATHETIC AND AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM By J. W. MCINTOSH, M.D. Vancouver, B.C. http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/pic...0&blobtype=pdf Keep in mind that this is out of the Canadian Medical Association Journal dated Sept 1915! I find this stuff can be hugely relevent and I invite you to read it and voice your opinions as to what you found interesting and relevent.. or just your thoughts. I look forward to responses from some old friends and new ones too  Sandra

My doc just recently suggested chewing dried cherries might help with pain. So far results are mixed but it is interesting as well as tasty. |

Dried cherries were the medicine of choice for Gout that I recal, so perhaps it works on the inflamitory system.. Hmm thanks what a great idea and they are very tasty.
thanks

These were published just a year (and two) before Rene LeRiche refuted Weir Mitchell's hypothesis that causalgia was caused by massive nerve damage from high-velocity impacts (mainly guns), and hypothesized that the disease is similar to "....a rare sympathetic disorder"
. He later amplified on this view by asserting that damage to sympathetic nerves caused them to abnormally constrict arteries (SNS vasoconstriction),blocking arterial blood from reaching the capillaries (and thus the cells). I never bothered to actually try to learn what docs knew back then, as LeRiche abandoned this hypothesis after arterial blood-flow studies showed that it is not affected in RSD. The founder of the SNS view later rejected his own hypothesis, but most RSD "experts" still clung to it until recently; after CRPS replaced RSD; to reflect complete rejection of the SNS view. I have talked about this research before, but as long as RSD "experts" talk about the SNS, people are going to believe that it is somehow relevant. I'm still looking for an explanation of SNS involvement that doesn't involve vasoconstriction, but haven't found one yet. I haven't found any explanation of how the SNS can be involved in CRPS-I, which, of course, has no nerve damage whatsoever. If anyone finds any research showing how sympathetic nerve damage can cause RSD, I hope you post it here. I don't ever expect to see anyone explain how sympathetic nerve damage can cause CRPS-I...Vic
