白细胞是人体的防御力量，只有当外邪内侵的时候白细胞才会升高（西医理论 如是说），也就是说白细胞是自身免疫系统为抵抗病邪（注意：不是病毒，病毒可 见，此邪气为寒，非显形物质，所以显微镜下不可见）内侵临时调动起来的防御能 力，也就是抗邪的正气。而西医对白血病的定义则是白细胞异常增生，即在无细菌 和病毒感染的情况下白细胞无缘无故的异常增生，而于病因则至今不明。所以，西 医只能把症状定为白细胞的异常增生，对症的治法就是杀灭多余的白细胞，使指标 接近正常（此举颇有轧直罗锅之嫌）。
但如果明白了此病为寒邪内侵所致，就不难发现其实西医的所谓治疗其实是助 纣为虐的“释邪攻正”行为。因为放着显而易见（四诊历历在目）的寒邪不去理会 ，反而对抵抗寒邪入侵的白细胞大肆屠杀，这无异于协助侵略者镇压人民反抗的汉 奸卖国贼行为。
明白这个道理之后再来看中药的治病原理：中药的目的并不是为了控制白细胞 升高，而是要从根本上消灭入侵的病邪，白细胞的短期升高可以看作机体抗病邪力 量的增强（相当于抗日队伍的壮大），而当病邪除尽之后，白细胞自然会恢复到正 常值范围之内（相当于战争结束之后部队战士纷纷复员转入生产）。扶正驱邪的中 药治病原理即在于此。
中西医原理不同，用药不同，疗效也不同。大量事实证明西医对于血液病的治 疗所采取的方法是令患者人财两空的死路，而中医界也多在错误理论的引导下走入 了治疗的误区，使此病普遍成为绝症。如何在正确理论指导下正确治疗此病，不但 是医学界的重大课题，也是众多白血病患者应该关注的问题。
大剂四逆汤附子生姜可用100g以上，敢放胆用姜附者肇始于蜀中郑钦安先生， 郑氏号称火神，于阴阳之辨洞若观火，阐明阴虚阳虚实据，发人深省，启人悟门。 用药直接了当，效如桴鼔。见解高明，功效卓著，数百年来第一人也。惜后人不加 省察，竟误以寒凉派为医学正宗，动云滋阴降火，罕言补阳散寒，戕伐正气，坏人 根本，反将振元阳扶生气之郑氏之学目为左道，妄以正统自居，颠倒黑白，混淆是 非，以理误人，用药害命。竟将歧黄救人之术反作杀生之法，此诚可痛哭流涕长太 息者也！
郑氏之后有吴佩衡、范中林先生踵武芳规，独步杏苑，神功盖世，手眼通天， 屡起沉疴大证，所赖者有干姜附子等猛将辅佐也。而时俗之辈动云有毒慎用，竟将 一代猛将诬为废物，委诸闲职不肯重用，徒令寒气肆虐，生灵冻馁，此复可痛哭流 涕长太息者也。
高血压者，寒束血管使之内收也。西医不知散寒，只知扩张血管减少血流量， 譬如嫌松紧带太紧，反复拉抻，使之松懈。不但未去寒气病根，反使血管脆化，失 去弹性，不能收缩，最后导致脑血管破裂之证。若作一下调查，极有可能所有脑血 管破裂患者都曾经长期服过降血压药物。现代病多为西药副作用累积所致，如新诺 明已被证实可导致白血病、再生障碍性贫血、尿毒症、红斑狼疮等多种西医绝症， 此西医尽知者。西药大多如此，每种药物几乎临床应用之后都证明害大于利，不得 不更新换代，而更新者同样存在尚不为知的种种负面可能，如前一阵所谓PPA。愚 者不知其害，动辄滴流，以为仙药，趋之若骛，轻易赴死，多有站着进来躺着出去 者。对所谓科学深信不疑五体投地，实则于其原理一窍不通，过于轻信乃至迷信， 实可悲可怜者也。
每言及此，不觉语为之塞，气为之结，声为之激昂，性为之暴烈。此无他，明知其 非而难令人信，欲正其误而求告无门。彼之昏昏者反洋洋自得，昂首戴面，以权威 自居，垄断专制，于其不能治愈之病则定为绝症，他人以他法治愈，则百般刁难， 不予承认，掩人之长，护己之短，以理论欺世，以技术骗人，竟能畅通无阻，为所 欲为，谋财害命，死无怨言，此尤可痛哭流涕长太息者也！
（六气病模式）高血压的六种病机
高血压为西医病名，西医以指标定病名，不明其理，罕中病机。治疗则或扩张 血管，或利尿减血，与病因了无交涉，虽或一时缓解，实则破坏血管弹性，损害心 肾功能，正所谓无知妄作也。
此病为阳不能入阴或阴不能出阳所致，也即阴阳不和之病，和之则愈。
阳不能入于阴则气血浮散于外，故舒张压升高。
阴不能出于阳则气血沉敛于内，故收缩压升高。
阳不入阴，或为在上之阴虚不能敛阳降入（阳明不合），治属白虎泻心麦门冬 之属；或为在下之阴盛格阳于外（太阴不开），治属理中四逆真武之属；或为在下 之阴阳两（精）虚不能摄阳入内（相火不位），治属肾气丸小柴胡之属。
阴不出阳，或为在下之阳虚不能载阴升出（厥阴不合），治属当归四逆吴茱萸 乌梅丸之属；或为在外之阴盛格阳于内（太阳不开），治属桂枝麻黄小青龙之属； 或为在上之阴阳两（血）虚不能引阴出外（君火不明），治属黄连阿胶酸枣仁炙甘 草汤之属。
四属阴而二属阳，阴病多而阳病少。若见血压升高，即一味平肝潜阳或滋阴降 火，只见阳而不见阴，知其一而不知其二，恐未得一二已失其六七矣！
感冒患者须知
一、感冒须知：
1、感冒千万不要滥用抗生素，这在国外是被严厉禁止的，在美国对抗生素的 管理比枪支还严。因为西医理论认为，抗生素对病毒感冒不但无效，而且会有副作 用。国内医院滥用抗生素退烧，实际上是破坏了人体免疫力，使免疫系统无法抵御 外邪，使病气深入加重了。表面症状虽然暂时消失，但不久必然出现更严重的内脏 功能失常症状。
2、受寒感冒发烧，无论用任何凉药“退热”都是错误的，这是“释邪攻正” 的“投敌卖国”行为。发热是身体抵御寒邪，努力使寒邪外散的正常抗病反应，汗 出则热退，这过去在民间属于常识，老太太都会用姜汤（生姜红糖水）（辛甘化阳 ）治感冒。但是现在都只知道退热，殊不知这种退热的性质等于投降，就像当年的 满洲国一样，虽然没有枪声，实际上国土已经沦陷，东北人民已经变成亡国奴了。
3、感冒应分六经治疗，《伤寒论》是治疗一切感冒的经典。感冒初起都是从 主一身之表的太阳经入，太阳病的主方有两个：一个是桂枝汤，一个是麻黄汤。一 个治的是伤风，一个治的是伤寒。伤风正气外散，有汗；伤寒邪气内敛，无汗。伤 风身软，伤寒身重。两者共同的特点是“头项强痛而恶寒”。
4、所谓的“风热感冒”大多数时候只是主观想象，只要天是寒的，就不会有 所谓的风热。说发烧能够导致肺炎脑炎等同样也是一种主观想象，是以讹传讹道听 途说的结果，真热的阳明证是不会在太阳受邪的阶段出现的。而夏季的中暑与通常 感冒性质不同，中暑为受热汗出过多，伤津虚脱所致。中暑得凉则解，感冒得凉则 重。感冒的性质通常是寒性的，不可雪上加霜，这在大众之中应该成为常识。
二、治疗方药：
1、桂枝加附子汤：感冒发烧，头痛，出汗，怕冷，腰酸重，鼻鸣干呕。
桂枝8g，白芍8g，炙甘草5g，黑附子6g，生姜3片（切），大枣2枚（掰开）
开水泡服，早七时，下午四时，晚睡前各服一杯。四剂。
2、麻黄理中冲剂：感冒发烧，头痛，身痛，骨节痛。无汗，喘。饮食难入。
麻黄7g，桂枝8g，炙甘草5g，杏仁4g，白术5g，党参5g，干姜5g，黑附子5g
开水泡服，早七时，下午三时各服一碗。二剂。
3、加味小青龙汤：感冒被凉药误治，热退后咳嗽不止，饮食减少，痰喘。
麻黄7g，细辛3g，黑附子6g，五味子4g，陈皮4g，半夏4g，茯苓5g，白术5g， 干姜5g，炙甘草10g，桂枝8g，白芍3g
四碗水煎剩二碗，早七时，下午三时各服一碗，忌食生冷油腻食品，四剂。（ 大人小孩同量）
4、桂枝二陈汤：感冒出汗，打喷嚏，流鼻涕，鼻塞，有痰。
桂枝8g，白芍8g，炙甘草5g，陈皮4g，半夏4g，茯苓4g，生姜2片，大枣一个 掰开
开水泡服，早七时，下午三时各服一碗。四剂。
5、感冒治愈后，仍有食欲不振，精神不足，肢寒怕冷等阳虚症状的，改用附 子理中丸调整。大人早午饭前各服二丸（大蜜丸），小儿各服一丸。
6、其他经的病症已不属于普通感冒范畴，通常感冒初期不经误治不会出现里 证，若出现少阳阳明或三阴证，知犯何逆，随证治之。情况复杂，可来问诊，患者 及家属不要轻易擅自用药。
三、答问
问：三七先生给的治感冒的药方多是有发烧症状的，如果要是还没有到发烧的 地步只是鼻塞、头痛、打喷嚏、流鼻涕、嗓子痛、舌苔白腻、口中有腻感无味、四 肢无力等症状时，该如何用方呢？
答：
麻黄3g，细辛3g，黑附子6g
开水泡服，早七时，下午五时各服一碗，二剂。
四、美国专家眼中的中国式“退烧”“吊水”——“中国才作这样处理，美国没有 退烧针”
1991年7月的《人民日报·海外版》刊登一篇“在美国求医”的文章，作者是 美国马里兰大学医学院的“访问学者”。他赴美后不久因“感冒发热”去医院急诊 ：“经过全面检查和抽血化验，医生诊断是流感”。作者抱怨：“医生只开了一张 处方，由我们自己去买了一小瓶 Advil（布洛芬），这是一种不需要处方就能买到 的自用感冒药。”
次日他未见好转又去就诊。“一位美籍华人医生查阅病历、仔细检查后说：‘ 昨天你来，他们未作处理，这是属于病毒性流感。’”“我请求医院给予退烧针和 输液，这位严守职责的医生回答：‘中国才作这样处理，美国没有退烧针。’”
发热是机体的一种保护性反应，一般只在过高热时才可能损及神经系统，出现 意识障碍。所以，Schmitt 把家长对儿童发热的过分担心称为“恐热症”。处理发 热的关键在于诊断，而不是急于退热。
为什么要静脉滴注？
1994年6月，美国哈佛公共卫生学院的一个访问组参观安庆市附近的一所乡镇 卫生院。当时病房里有13位病人，看上去病情都不重，但有11人在“吊水”，其中 1位还举着吊水瓶走动。一位美国教授对此大惑不解，问这些病人生什么病，为什 么要静脉滴注？
伤精患者须知
手淫的危害及其后果
White blood cells are the body's defensive forces. According to Western medical theory, white blood cell counts only rise when external pathogenic factors invade internally. In other words, white blood cells represent a temporary mobilization of defensive capacity by the immune system to resist pathogenic invasion (Note: not viruses, which are visible; this pathogenic factor is Cold, an invisible substance, thus undetectable under a microscope). This defensive capability against pathogens is what is referred to as Righteous Qi (Zhengqi, upright energy). However, the Western definition of leukemia is the abnormal proliferation of white blood cells, specifically their unexplained abnormal increase in the absence of bacterial or viral infection, with the etiology remaining unknown to this day. Therefore, Western medicine can only define the symptom as the abnormal proliferation of white blood cells, and the symptomatic treatment is to eliminate excess white blood cells to bring indicators close to normal (this approach is somewhat akin to forcing a crooked person to stand straight).
However, if one understands that this disease is caused by the internal invasion of Cold Pathogen (Hanxie), it is not difficult to discover that the so-called Western treatment is actually an act of "releasing pathogens and attacking righteousness" (Shi Xie Gong Zheng), aiding the tyrant. Ignoring the obvious Cold Pathogen (clearly evident through the Four Diagnostic Methods) and instead massacring the white blood cells that resist the invasion of Cold Pathogen is no different from collaborating with invaders to suppress the people's resistance—a traitorous act.
Understanding this principle, let us look at the therapeutic principle of Chinese herbal medicine: The purpose of Chinese herbs is not to control the rise of white blood cells, but to fundamentally eliminate the invading pathogens. The short-term rise in white blood cells can be viewed as an enhancement of the body's anti-pathogen power (similar to the strengthening of the Anti-Japanese forces), and after the pathogens are completely eliminated, white blood cells will naturally return to the normal range (similar to soldiers demobilizing and returning to production after the war ends). This is the principle of Chinese herbal medicine in supporting Righteous Qi and expelling pathogens.
The principles, medications, and efficacy differ between Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Western medicine. Extensive facts prove that the method adopted by Western medicine for treating blood diseases leads patients to ruin both health and wealth, while many in the TCM community have also fallen into therapeutic误区 (misunderstandings) guided by erroneous theories, making this disease universally terminal. How to correctly treat this disease under the guidance of correct theory is not only a major topic for the medical community but also an issue that many leukemia patients should pay attention to.
Hypertension and Warming Yang to Dispel Cold
Large doses of Sini Tang (Four Reversal Decoction) with Aconite (Fuzi) and Ginger (Shengjiang) can exceed 100g. The courage to boldly use Ginger and Aconite originated with Mr. Zheng Qin'an from Shu region. Known as the "Fire Spirit," Mr. Zheng had a clear understanding of the differentiation of Yin and Yang, elucidated the basis of Yin deficiency and Yang excess/deficiency, provoking deep reflection and enlightenment. His medication was straightforward, effective as a drumstick striking a drum. His insights were profound, and his efficacy outstanding, making him the foremost figure in hundreds of years. It is a pity that later generations did not examine this carefully, mistakenly taking the Cold-Cooling School as the orthodox mainstream of medicine. They constantly spoke of nourishing Yin and descending Fire, rarely mentioning tonifying Yang and dispelling Cold, thereby damaging Righteous Qi and harming the root. Conversely, they regarded Mr. Zheng's learning, which revitalizes Primary Yang and supports vital Qi, as heterodox, arrogantly claiming orthodoxy for themselves, reversing black and white, confusing right and wrong, misleading people with theory, and harming lives with medication. They turned the Yellow Emperor's art of saving lives into a method of killing, which is truly something to weep bitterly and sigh over!
After Mr. Zheng, there were Mr. Wu Peiheng and Mr. Fan Zhonglin, who followed in his footsteps, standing alone in the medical field, possessing god-like powers and penetrating insight, frequently rescuing severe and chronic conditions, relying on fierce generals such as Dried Ginger (Ganjiang) and Aconite (Fuzi) for assistance. Yet, common practitioners often claim these are toxic and should be used with caution, falsely labeling this generation's fierce general as useless, assigning them to idle posts and refusing to重用 (use heavily), allowing Cold Qi to run rampant and living beings to freeze and starve, which is again something to weep bitterly and sigh over!
Hypertension is caused by Cold constricting blood vessels, causing them to contract inward. Western medicine does not know how to dispel Cold; it only knows how to dilate blood vessels to reduce blood flow, much like repeatedly pulling a tight elastic band to loosen it. This not only fails to remove the root cause of Cold but also makes blood vessels brittle, losing elasticity and the ability to contract, ultimately leading to cerebral hemorrhage. If investigated, it is highly likely that all patients with cerebral hemorrhage had long-term usage of antihypertensive drugs. Modern diseases are mostly caused by the accumulation of side effects of Western medicines. For example, Sulfamethoxazole has been proven to lead to leukemia, aplastic anemia, uremia, lupus erythematosus, and other Western terminal diseases, which Western medicine fully knows. Most Western medicines are like this; almost every drug proves to do more harm than good after clinical application, necessitating updates and replacements, yet updated versions also carry unknown negative possibilities, such as the previously mentioned PPA. Fools, unaware of the harm, frequently resort to intravenous drips, regarding them as panaceas, flocking to them, easily rushing to death, with many coming in standing and leaving lying down. Deeply believing in so-called science with total submission, yet having no understanding of its principles, being overly credulous to the point of superstition, is truly pitiful and可怜 (pitiable)!
Whenever I mention this, I find my speech blocked, my breath knotted, my voice agitated, and my temperament violent. This is because I know it is wrong but find it hard to make others believe, wanting to correct the error but finding no way to appeal. Those who are confused remain self-satisfied, wearing authority like a mask, monopolizing and dictating. For diseases they cannot cure, they declare them terminal; when others cure them with different methods, they create difficulties and refuse to acknowledge it, hiding others' strengths and protecting their own weaknesses, deceiving the world with theory and cheating people with technology, yet managing to proceed unhindered, doing as they please, defrauding wealth and harming lives, with victims dying without resentment, which is especially something to weep bitterly and sigh over!
(Six Qi Disease Model) Six Pathomechanisms of Hypertension
Hypertension is a Western medical term. Western medicine defines diseases based on indicators, lacking understanding of the underlying principles and rarely hitting the pathomechanism. Treatment either dilates blood vessels or uses diuretics to reduce blood volume, having nothing to do with the etiology. Although it may provide temporary relief, it actually destroys vascular elasticity and damages heart and kidney function, which is precisely ignorant and reckless action.
This disease is caused by Yang failing to enter Yin or Yin failing to exit Yang, i.e., disharmony of Yin and Yang; harmonizing it leads to recovery.
When Yang cannot enter Yin, Qi and Blood scatter outward, causing diastolic pressure to rise.
When Yin cannot exit Yang, Qi and Blood sink and gather inward, causing systolic pressure to rise.
Yang failing to enter Yin may be due to:
1. Upper-body Yin deficiency failing to restrain Yang and guide it downward (Yangming disharmony), treated with Baihu, Xiexin, or Maidongmen formulas.
2. Lower-body Yin excess repelling Yang outward (Taiyin failure to open), treated with Lizhong, Sini, or Zhenwu formulas.
3. Lower-body dual deficiency of Yin and Yang (Jing/Essence) failing to secure Yang inward (Ministerial Fire out of position), treated with Shenqi Wan or Xiaochaihu formulas.
Yin failing to exit Yang may be due to:
1. Lower-body Yang deficiency failing to carry Yin upward and outward (Jueyin disharmony), treated with Danggui Sini, Wuzhuyu, or Wu Mei Wan formulas.
2. External Yin excess repelling Yang inward (Taiyang failure to open), treated with Guizhi, Mahuang, or Xiao Qinglong formulas.
3. Upper-body dual deficiency of Yin and Yang (Blood) failing to guide Yin outward (Lord Fire unclear), treated with Huanglian Ejiao, Suanzaoren, or Zhigancao Tang formulas.
Four belong to Yin and two to Yang; Yin diseases are more common than Yang diseases. If blood pressure rises, blindly using methods to calm Liver Yang and subdue it, or nourish Yin and descend Fire, seeing only Yang and not Yin, knowing one aspect but not the other, may result in missing six or seven parts of the truth while grasping only one or two!
Patient Guidelines for Common Cold
I. Guidelines for Common Cold:
1. Do not abuse antibiotics for colds; this is strictly prohibited abroad, and antibiotic management in the US is stricter than gun control. Because Western medical theory holds that antibiotics are ineffective against viral colds and have side effects. The abuse of antibiotics for fever reduction in domestic hospitals actually destroys human immunity, preventing the immune system from resisting external pathogens, causing pathogenic qi to penetrate deeper and worsen. Although surface symptoms temporarily disappear, more severe visceral dysfunction symptoms will inevitably appear shortly thereafter.
2. For colds caused by Cold exposure accompanied by fever, using any cooling medicine to "reduce fever" is incorrect; this is a "treacherous" act of "releasing pathogens and attacking righteousness." Fever is the body's normal anti-disease response to resist Cold Pathogen and strive to disperse it externally; sweating leads to fever reduction. This was common sense in folk medicine, where grandmothers would use Ginger Soup (Fresh Ginger and Brown Sugar Water) (Acrid-Sweet transforming into Yang) to treat colds. Now, everyone only knows to reduce fever, unaware that this nature of fever reduction equals surrender, just like the Manchukuo era; although there were no gunshots, the territory had effectively fallen, and Northeastern people had become slaves.
3. Colds should be treated according to the Six Meridians; Shanghan Lun (Treatise on Cold Damage) is the classic for treating all colds. Colds initially enter via the Taiyang Meridian, which governs the exterior of the body. There are two main formulas for Taiyang disease: one is Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction), and the other is Mahuang Tang (Ephedra Decoction). One treats Wind Strike (Shangfeng), characterized by scattered Righteous Qi and sweating; the other treats Cold Damage (Shanghan), characterized by internal contraction of Pathogens and no sweating. Wind Strike causes softness of the body; Cold Damage causes heaviness of the body. Both share the characteristic of "stiffness and pain in the head and neck, and aversion to Cold."
4. The so-called "Wind-Heat Cold" is mostly subjective imagination; as long as the weather is Cold, there is no so-called Wind-Heat. Claiming that fever can lead to pneumonia or encephalitis is similarly subjective imagination, resulting from hearsay and misinformation. True Heat Yangming patterns do not appear during the stage of Taiyang pathogen invasion. Summerheat stroke differs in nature from ordinary colds; summerheat is caused by excessive sweating due to heat exposure, damaging fluids and leading to collapse. Summerheat resolves with cooling, whereas colds worsen with cooling. The nature of colds is usually Cold; adding Cold to Cold should be avoided, and this should be common knowledge among the public.

6. Symptoms involving other meridians no longer fall under the category of ordinary colds. Typically, ordinary colds do not present interior syndromes in the early stage unless mismanaged. If Shaoyang, Yangming, or Three-Yin syndromes appear, understand the deviation and treat according to the syndrome. Cases are complex; consult a physician. Patients and families should not administer medication arbitrarily.
III. Q&A
Q: The cold formulas provided by Mr. Sanqi often involve fever symptoms. What if the patient has not yet reached the fever stage, but only has symptoms such as nasal congestion, headache, sneezing, runny nose, sore throat, white greasy tongue coating, sticky tasteless mouth, and limb weakness? How should the formula be used?
A:
Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba) 3g, Xixin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma) 3g, Heifuzi (Black Aconite) 6g.
Steep in boiling water, take one bowl at 7 AM and 5 PM. Two doses.
IV. American Experts' View on Chinese-style "Fever Reduction" and "IV Drips" — "China Handles It This Way; America Has No Fever Reducing Shots"
In July 1991, People's Daily Overseas Edition published an article "Seeking Medical Help in the USA" by a "Visiting Scholar" from the University of Maryland School of Medicine. Shortly after arriving in the US, he went to the emergency room for "cold and fever": "After comprehensive examination and blood tests, the doctor diagnosed influenza." The author complained: "The doctor only wrote a prescription, and we bought a small bottle of Advib (Ibuprofen) ourselves, which is an over-the-counter cold medicine."
The next day, seeing no improvement, he visited again. "An ethnic Chinese doctor reviewed the medical record and examined carefully, saying: 'You came yesterday, and they did no treatment; this belongs to viral influenza.'" "I requested the hospital for a fever-reducing shot and IV drip. This strictly responsible doctor replied: 'China handles it this way; America has no fever-reducing shots.'"
Fever is a protective reaction of the organism; generally, only extremely high fever may damage the nervous system, causing consciousness disorders. Therefore, Schmitt refers to parents' excessive worry about children's fever as "Pyrexia Phobia." The key to handling fever lies in diagnosis, not in hastening to reduce fever.
Why Intravenous Drip?
In June 1994, a visiting group from the Harvard School of Public Health visited a township health center near Anqing City. At that time, there were 13 patients in the ward, appearing not seriously ill, but 11 were receiving "IV drips," with one even walking around holding the IV bottle. An American professor was greatly puzzled, asking what diseases these patients had and why they needed intravenous drips.
