Guest guest Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 That does sound allergic. Wonder if it is the procaine or the epinephrine? Coke makes some people allergic. Dentists warn you it isn't as strong w/o epiniphrine, and they have to give you more, so it might be a dangerous test to make. . . then again, this is basically crack, so what the heck (just kidding), Dave On May 15, 2005, at 4:39 PM, Farah Rahbar wrote: > interesting, I have always been allergic to Novacaine.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Your post reminded me Marc, Novocaine is used in a particular treatment to unblock blocked meridians from scar tissue, even tiny ones, that can cause pain in various unrelated areas. Can't think what it's called right now. I get ill every time I have novocaine, it contains formaldehyde, and it takes a couple days to get out of my system. Found a dentist that the kind for sensitive people, cost more of course, but who needs formaldehyde in their body? Don't have the name of that handy either. Anyway, if the novocaine gives temporary relief of ES, perhaps this other treatment might be more lasting in that area too, as it's dealing with the energy flow.
