To prevent smallpox toxin, Wan Shi (Wan Quan) has the Daitian Xuanhua Pill (Emperor's Heaven Proclaiming Transformation Pill), but it can only prevent epidemic diseases and ultimately has no effect on internal toxins. If one ingests substances such as Cinnabar (Zhusha), Pearl (Zhenzhu), Scutellaria Root (Huanglian), Rhinoceros Horn (Xijiao), Rabbit Blood (Tuxue), or Crane Eggs (Heluan), it is generally because the toxin is viewed as a "desire fire" toxin, thus the medicines specifically enter the Shaoyin (Lesser Yin) channel. Although the prescription is novel, trials have mostly proved ineffective. Alternatively, applying Castor Oil Paste (Bima Gao) or bathing in Snakehead Fish Decoction (Liyu Tang) aims to draw the toxin outwards, which is also abandoning the root for the branches. I have devoted myself to investigating things to extend knowledge (Gewuzhizhi) and exclusively advocate the theory that "toxin attacks the Spleen channel." Furthermore, having obtained the *Notes of Songshan Ren*, which details the verified efficacy of Okra (Kuicai) in detoxification, I find its properties cool and slippery, entering the Spleen to meritably clear damp-heat. I appreciate its claims as credible and evidenced, so I append them below. Okra, also known as Red Beetroot (Hongcaitou), Female Vegetable (Nücai), Slippery Vegetable (Huacai), or Winter Mallow (Donghancai), is arguably the chief among hundred vegetables. It can be planted as a vegetable in all four seasons, with autumn planting being superior; hence, the seeds of Winter Okra (Dongkuizi) are highly valued in materia medica. Having read *Compendium of Materia Medica* (Bencao Gangmu), Li Shizhen's opening description of Okra's merits was infallible. However, through generations of transmission, skepticism and belief coexisted. Consequently, it was moved from the Vegetable Section to the Herb Section. Moreover, due to its cold and slippery nature, fear of damaging the Spleen and Stomach led practitioners to dare not try it lightly. Thus, this miraculous remedy for specific conditions was abandoned, while toxic pathogens spread unchecked, causing patients to become paralyzed and prostrate—a situation that deeply saddened me. For years, harboring this doubt without means of verification, and after extensive inquiry over more than a decade, I confirmed it was indeed Red Beetroot. Occasionally allowing children to consume it caused no harm, though the efficacy was not immediately apparent, so I dared not disseminate it widely. In recent years, this disease has prevailed multiple times. Among those untreated, eight or nine out of ten died, whereas among those who consumed this vegetable, none perished. This revealed how transmitted errors caused long-term obscurity of its divine efficacy—how lamentable! Only now do I dare to publish this in writing to promote its widespread dissemination. Alas! Due to excessive caution, we allowed it to sink into oblivion; due to lack of promotion, everyone remains submerged. If we fail to transmit it now, how will we cope with future regrets? Therefore, I list its method to make it public to the world and future generations. Its cold and slippery nature is inherent; diarrhea/dysentery is a manifestation of the toxin. What does this have to do with the root of the Spleen and Stomach? Furthermore, medicating before illness onset allows the pathogen to be absorbed and expelled, leaving the body's foundation intact—the highest strategy. Even consuming it after spots appear still yields half the efficacy, which is far superior to sitting idle watching the fire burn wood. How could it compare to vulgar physicians who, upon seeing critical urgency, hastily administer Scutellaria Root (Qin) and Coptis Rhizome (Lian), acting cruelly like blades? Alas! It lies merely between belief and disbelief, trial and non-trial. How dare I treat human life as trivial and expect guaranteed success? The method is to harvest this vegetable, cook it thoroughly for dietary use; the longer it is stored, the better. My earnest pleas for people to believe and transmit this are merely to evade the blame of negligence and to express grief for those irrecoverably lost. What ambition do I harbor?
