If there is, then why has Dr. Tofu found it or used it for Ranma?

Because Ranma's condition isn't biological.  Pressure points don't 
affect magic, except in the way Cologne's did.  The Shimeru 
transformation, on the other hand, is a natural function of their 
bodies.

I am looking for a way to make "curing" a Shimeru theoretically 
possible, but more complicated than simply surgically removing the gland 
that produced the hormones that activate the change. Anybody have an 
idea?

Perhaps something to do with mood-altering drugs of some kind? I 
think it's reasonable that if you gave a Shimeru adreneline 
injections (or speed ^_^ ), or some sort of prescription "downer" 
they would be locked into one half of their change...

Actually, maybe I'll use this in -my- fic... >:D
