喻昌曰：伤寒发汗己，热邪解矣！何由反蒸身目为黄，所以然者，寒湿抟聚，适在躯壳之里，故尔发黄也，里者在内之通称，非谓寒湿深入在里，盖身目正属躯壳，与脏腑无关也。于寒湿中求之，求其寒湿中之治法也。
伤寒七、八日，身黄如橘子色，小便不利，复微满者，茵陈蒿汤主之。
阳明病，发热汗出，此为热越，不能发黄也，但头汗出身无汗，剂颈而还，小便不利，渴饮水浆者，此为瘀热在里也，身必发黄，茵陈蒿汤主之。
伤寒脉浮而缓，手足自温者，是为系在太阴，太阴者，身当发黄，若小便自利者，不能发黄，至七、八日，大便鞭者，为阳明病也。
黄疸有表证、里证、虚证、实证皆因脾胃太阴、阳明土所造成，非肝胆厥阴、少阳之病故胸腹饱闷，面目俱黄，小水短赤，俱是脾胃水谷湿热相争，湿热生黄也。
素问、玉枢真藏论：是故风者，百病之长也，今风寒客于人，使人毫毛笔直，皮肤闭而为热，当是之时，可汗而发也，或痹不仁肿痛，当是之时，可汤烫及火灸刺而出之弗治，肝传之脾，病名曰脾风、发疸、腹中热、烦心出黄。
张氏医通：黄疸证中，惟黑疸最剧，良由酒后不禁，酒湿流入髓脏所致，土败水崩之兆，始病形神未槁者，尚有湿热可攻，为祛疸之向导，若病久肌肉消烁，此真元告匮，不能回荣于竭泽也有伶人黑瘅，投以硝石矾石散作丸，晨夕各进五丸，服至四日，少腹攻绞，小便先下瘀水，大便继下溏黑，至十一日瘀尽，次与桂、苓、归、芍之类，调理半月而安。
由前所述，黄疸并非肝胆之病，而今日以肝胆为治病标的，误人多矣！
食物中毒或感冒会上吐下泻，乃身体在处理不能接受的食物、药物或病毒时而起保卫身体－产生排毒的作用，以消除对身体有害的物质而发生上吐下泻。
有的人闻到臭味，亦会呕吐，即因身体不能接受，处理此臭物，而产生排除、驱逐的反应，身体强壮的人，闻臭气而不会呕吐，乃其身体能处理此臭气的不适故不呕吐，是以生病是身体自身无法适应外来因素为先决条件。
呕吐出来的食物，酸腐食嗅、五味杂陈，但食物到了十二指肠，酸腐食嗅、五味杂陈的难闻味道却不见了我们买猪粉肠－猪的十二指肠时，可发现肠子中并没有酸腐食嗅、五味杂陈的味道，为什么呢？
素问平人气象论篇第十八云：胃之大络，名曰虚里，贯鬲络肺，出于左乳下，其动应衣，脉宗气也。盛喘数绝者，则病在中结，而横有积矣，绝不至者死，乳之下，其动应衣，宗气泄也。虚里穴，在左乳下，心脏尖底，胃底之上，五脏之脉滋生于胃，而胃气之通于五脏者，乃宗气也。
宗气者，胃腑水榖所生，即呕吐时所闻到酸腐食嗅、五味杂陈、燥焦香腥腐之气与酸苦甘辛咸之味。
食物入胃，经胃搅拌腐熟所生之气味，自胃底虚里穴送入肺，此虚里穴之气称为宗气，或称胃气。
肺有肺气－后天呼吸之气，肾有肾气－先天生命之气，胃有胃气－食物养育体力之气。三气孕育生命体的生命活力，三焦运作之根，缺一则生命即结束死亡。
肺为十二经络气循行之始，肝为十二经络气循行之终，胃气为食物的清轻之气，经胃之虚里穴而入于肺，与呼吸风暑寒湿燥火之气相调配，经心脏之跳动，气血相合，气能之推动，输送到五脏六腑，以为五脏六腑先天气肾，后天气肺与食物所生之气胃气相调合，产生活力是为气力，使身体五脏六腑运作持续不断活动。
如胃气盛喘数绝者，则病在中鬲结为积滞，即在中焦横膈膜一带有积结之病，若胃气绝则为死。若胃气动以应衣，则为宗气外泄。
胃气食物之气，若遇不能接受之食物，则上吐下泻以排除之，使身体不受伤害。不使毒素积存体内，危害气血的循环作用，若胃气无法将身体不能接受的食物、药物处理，则成积滞，致血瘀气滞而成瘤。
气不能运行而成积滞为病，有风暑寒湿燥火之气滞，有臊焦香腥腐、酸苦甘辛咸之气滞，有喜怒忧思悲恐惊七情之气滞，有各气杂合而至之不同，即为痈疽积聚肿瘤之始。
食物之气入胃，并未入肠，故食物入十二指肠后，酸腐食臭之气即不存在，是为有形的物质下降入肠吸收为营养，无形的清气经虚里穴入肺而为身体气血运行之气机。
食物中毒上吐下泻时，被打针吃药止住了泻而吐，吐又被打针吃药止住了吐，致泻不能泻而吐又不能吐，造成肚腹胀大，又被消炎伤肾而脚肿，是为今日的肝硬化、肝癌之腹胀、脚肿，实为胃气无法运行所致。
肠子吸收有形的营养进入肝脏而转输入五脏六腑，以为增长、维持身体的物质，故有毒的食物、药物在胃中即被处理－上吐下泻而排除。
食物中毒可以上吐下泻而排除之，打针呢？身体可以接受的没问题，不能接受的则跑都没路走，只能由肝承受处理，肝能负荷解毒无妨，肝解决不了怎么办？只好留在肝而成肿瘤，各种化学药物－西药在血肉之躯的肝起化学变化而产生。
饮食上吐下泻，伤暑湿热的感冒亦会上吐下泻，是身体在排除不能接受的食物、药物或气候病毒，并不是肠胃的发炎感染，但今日许多泻痢的病患，却被打针、吃药消炎，止住了泻，致泻不能泻，就变成了吐身体藉吐以排毒，又被打针、吃药止吐，泻不能泻，吐不能吐，心脏又被消炎无力将虚里穴的气送入肺，而肚腹就胀了起来－就是今日的肝硬化、肝癌。
下痢时，毒未排尽不可止泻，止之太早就变成呕吐，呕吐亦为身体排除毒素的本能，上吐下泻的排毒功能受阻，乃造成腹胀，腹胀又被消炎伤心肾而脚肿，今日许多被检查为肝癌、肝硬化、尿毒症水肿的腹胀、脚肿病患，都是如此造成的－即胃气无法运行所造成。
毒素积存在肝，身体为了发挥保护身体的功能，找寻排毒出路，致皮肤发痒，皮肤痒乃是肝在作排除毒物的作用。
皮肤过敏、药物过敏等即是身体在排除不能接受的食物、药物、气候的排毒作用，就像麻疹之排毒作用致皮肤痒相同。
皮肤痒应像麻疹从表散，却又被打一针不痒、吃一下药不痒，毒素硬被逼回体内集结，只要看不到痒就好了。
身体各种排除毒素本能的出路－呕吐、下立皮肤痒都被封锁了，肝为身体解毒，消毒的脏器，承受了毒素致肝积毒而成肝硬化、肝癌。
肝的结构细密，功能广泛，毒素蓄结而成肿瘤，并不会很快致人于死，因肝解除毒素可以从肾脏小便排出体外。
肾脏为肝脏排除身体毒素的最后一条出路，因毒素进入肝脏之后，唯有从皮肤或肾脏小便排出，而无法从大便肠胃或呕吐以排毒。
了解肝的作用，治肝之病，应是开条路让毒素排出，发挥身体自己的排毒作用，即加强恢复心肾的功能，而不是杀死癌细胞。
治疗肝病不是诊断肝的肿瘤为何物？毒素为何物？Ａ肝、Ｂ肝、脂肪肝可以不须知道肝中毒为何物，若心、肾功能正常，则进入肝之毒物、肿瘤皆能被排除，从小便排出，使身体肝的运作正常，即以恢复、加强肾的作用为治疗原则。
今日的医疗，为了清除肝中的毒素、肿瘤，而伤害了心、肾，致肾衰竭而肝毒无路可走－因小便不通而造成死亡，并非肝肿瘤癌、肝硬化造成死亡。
胃气不能运化，脾主肌肉，又脾主四肢，脾胃之气不能运化，致身体四肢肌肉消瘦，肚腹胀大，皆脾胃不能主肌肉所致。
伤心肾致身体之毒素无路可排，伤脾胃致身体无力吸收营养，运化营养。肝癌、肝硬化造成腹胀乃脾胃肾心虚，致湿热、寒湿、风寒、瘀血等蓄积，身体无力运化，是脾胃肾心皆病，不是单独肝胆病所造成。
脚肿胀乃心手少阴肾足少阴虚，肾中之阳虚，不能运化水气风暑寒湿燥火所造成，故腹胀、脚肿、黄疸并非肝胆之病所造成，而是医疗误治肝胆Ｂ型肝炎、Ｃ型肝炎为控制肝酵素ＧＯＰ、ＧＰＴ等伤害了脾胃心肾所造成。
检查发现到肝有肿瘤，并不需要慌张、害怕，因肝比其它脏器排毒祛毒的功能更强，只要不急攻其肿瘤，伤害肾脏，造成小便不通，则肝脏中的肿瘤并没有危害生命的危险。
Ｂ型肝炎并不是肝的发炎，而是感冒在体表的风暑寒湿燥火，被药物抗生素消炎，或输血将感冒病毒引入肝胆，风暑寒湿燥火之气入肝，会令人好累、好疲倦、好想睡觉，被误为肝的发炎而消炎，因消炎伤害了心肾，致肝的解毒、排毒功能衰弱而蓄积。
今日大家害怕得到Ｂ型肝炎而检查，更害怕Ｂ型肝炎会造成肝硬化、肝癌而盲目相信卫生医疗当局的广告科学。
青草药虽能使肝中所蓄毒素－抗生素、化学药物等引从小便排出，而降低了ＧＯＰ、ＧＰＴ等之数据，但消炎的作用，因长期的使用而伤害了肾，造成腰酸背痛，乃肾受伤害致肝的积毒更严重，而造成肝硬化、肝癌。
为了消除肝中的毒素Ｂ型肝炎，不分感冒的风暑寒湿燥火，不分饮食的酸苦甘辛咸、臊焦香腥腐，不分喜怒忧思悲恐惊，不分肝经湿热型、寒湿型、脾虚肝克型、肾阳虚、肾阴虚型、血瘀阻络型、气虚型、水湿阻滞型而盲目的以Ｂ型肝炎为标的，伤害了心肾脾胃、致身体各功能都受到破坏、伤害。
肾脏受伤害，致肝毒无路可排出，小便不通乃心肾少阴经衰竭而死亡，并非肝脾肿瘤而死亡。
事实上，不检查Ｂ型肝炎，活到一百岁也不知道自己得Ｂ型肝炎，不做Ｂ型肝炎检查，让肝可以自行处理排除身上毒素，不受干扰，则因治疗Ｂ型肝炎的伤害不会产生，肝硬化，肝癌的病患不懂则不会治肝病，而治疗产生的后遗症便不会发生，今日治疗Ｂ型肝炎，消炎对身体的健康、生命的危害可以说是病上加病，毒上加毒，皆因治疗不当而很快的恶化造成死亡。
肝切骗片检查详见健康检查篇，亦为病患致死的主要原因之一。一个长在皮肤的肿瘤，在红红肿肿时，若用力一压，或用针一刺，其肿痛范围即迅速扩张、蔓延，肝呢？
切骗片造成的伤害，大家看不见，只知道是肝的癌细胞迅速恶化，而向阎罗王报到，却不知道这凶恶的癌细胞，正是那只切骗片的魔手，才是真正的夺命真凶，不切片癌细胞怎会迅速恶化、蔓延呢？
Ｂ型肝炎危害国人的惨烈状况何在呢？即因轰轰烈烈的推销预防的结果，外国的Ｂ型肝炎为何危害不如国人呢？只因外国没有像国人热烈推销预防Ｂ型肝炎，故危害没有如是之甚。
治肝之病，知肝传脾，脾胃健，饮食美，则吸收营养好，营养好，体力就充沛，体力充沛则毒不易蓄积于肝。肝有肿瘤、毒素亦被身体自然排除，根本不需要费神耗力去治疗，肝硬化、肝癌自然痊愈。
素问痿论篇曰：阳明燥金主气，从中见太阴之湿化，是脾气热则胃干而渴，脾胃之气并主肌肉，阳明津液不生，太阴之气不至，故肌肉不仁而发为肉痿肝属木为风，风恶燥金即金克木、肾为水、水生木，温病条辨秋燥篇：肾主五液而恶燥，或由外感邪气久羁而悠及肾阴，或由外感而内伤至燥若肾水足则静，肾水亏则动而燥丹溪心法：七情内伤，六淫外侵，饮食不节，房劳致虚，脾土之阴受伤，转输之官失职，胃虽受谷，不能运化，故阳自升，阴自降，而成天地不交之否腹胀清浊相混，坠道壅塞，郁而为热，热留为湿，湿热相生，遂成胀满。
灵枢五邪篇：邪在肝，则病胁中痛。
素问藏器法时论：肝病者，两胁下痛引少腹。
肝病有肝气郁结、瘀血停着、肝阴不足，大抵胀痛多属气郁，刺痛多属血瘀，隐痛多属血虚。
许多肝癌、肝硬化的病患会排出黑如柏油的粪便，此乃蓄积于肝脾或胃的瘀血，其病人多腹大坚满，脉络怒张，胁腹攻痛，面色黯黑，头颈胸臂有血痣，呈继纹状，唇色紫褐、口渴、饮水不能下，大便色黑，舌质紫红或有紫斑，脉细涩或芤。
在未排出如柏油的黑粪便时，可检查到胃中有静脉曲张的血管、或肝肿瘤，乃瘀血、毒血充塞于肝脾，肝硬化、肝癌乃此血瘀积而成，故排出如柏油的黑粪便时，可检查到有血迹，乃身体排除不当瘀血、毒素，并非胃出血，故不可止血，此时只要加强心、肾，以维持体力，度过此排黑色粪便期，肝硬化、肝癌即可痊愈。
喻昌说：伤寒病经过发汗治疗后，热邪应当已经解除！为什么反而出现全身及眼睛发黄如蒸笼般的症状呢？之所以如此，是因为寒湿之气搏结聚集，恰好位于躯壳之内，所以导致发黄。所谓“里”，是体内的一般统称，并非指寒湿深入到了脏腑内部，因为身体和眼睛正属于躯壳部分，与脏腑没有直接关系。应当在寒湿中寻找病因，寻求针对寒湿的治疗方法。
伤寒病中，瘀滞的热邪在体内，身体一定会发黄，用麻黄连轺赤小豆汤主治。
伤寒病七八天，身体黄得像橘子皮的颜色，小便不通畅，同时伴有轻微腹胀的，用茵陈蒿汤主治。
阳明病被误用火疗（如艾灸、火熏等），额头微微出汗，而小便不通畅的，必定会发黄。
阳明病患者，面色整体发红，不可使用攻下法，否则必定会出现发热、面色发黄、小便不通畅的症状。
阳明病，发热出汗，这是热邪向外发散的表现，不会发黄；但如果只有头部出汗，身体无汗，汗水仅到颈部即止，小便不通畅，口渴想喝水浆的，这是瘀热郁结在体内的表现，身体必定发黄，用茵陈蒿汤主治。
伤寒病脉象浮而缓，手脚自然温暖的，这是病关联到太阴脾经，太阴病本应身体发黄，如果小便通畅自利，就不会发黄；到了七八天，大便变硬的，就转化为阳明病了。
黄疸病无论是有表证、里证、虚证还是实证，都是由脾胃（太阴、阳明土）造成的，不是肝胆（厥阴、少阳）的病，因此出现胸腹饱闷，面目都黄，小便短赤，这都是脾胃中水谷湿热相互争斗，湿热产生黄疸的结果。
《素问·玉机真脏论》说：风邪是百病的先导，如今风寒侵入人体，使人毫毛竖立，皮肤闭塞而产生热邪，在这个时候，可以用发汗的方法治疗；或者出现痹症、麻木、肿痛，在这个时候，可以用汤熨、火灸、针刺等方法排出病邪。如果不治疗，病邪由肝传至脾，病名叫做脾风，发展为疸病，出现腹中热、心烦、排出黄色物质。
《张氏医通》记载：在黄疸证中，黑疸最为严重，大多是由于酒后纵欲不禁，酒湿流入髓脏所致，这是土败水崩的征兆。初起时形神尚未枯槁的，还有湿热可以攻逐，作为祛疸的向导；如果病久肌肉消烁，这是真元告罄，无法从枯竭的水源中恢复荣血。有一位伶人患黑疸，投以硝石矾石散做成丸药，早晚各进五丸，服用四天，小腹攻绞疼痛，先排出瘀水，接着大便排出黑色稀溏物，到第十一日瘀血排尽，随后给予桂枝、茯苓、当归、芍药之类的药物，调理半个月而痊愈。
根据上述论述，黄疸并非肝胆的疾病，而今天却以肝胆为治病的目标，误导了很多人！
食物中毒或感冒会上吐下泻，这是身体在处理不能接受的食物、药物或病毒时，为了保卫身体——产生排毒作用，以消除对身体有害的物质而发生上吐下泻。
有的人闻到臭味也会呕吐，这是因为身体不能接受、处理此臭物，而产生排除、驱逐的反应。身体强壮的人，闻臭气而不会呕吐，是因为其身体能处理此臭气的不适，故不呕吐。因此，生病的前提条件是身体自身无法适应外来因素。
呕吐出来的食物，气味酸腐难闻、五味杂陈，但食物到了十二指肠，那种酸腐难闻的味道却不见了。我们买猪粉肠——即猪的十二指肠时，可发现肠子里并没有酸腐难闻、五味杂陈的味道，为什么呢？
《素问·平人气象论篇第十八》说：胃的大络，名叫虚里，贯穿膈肌联络肺，出于左侧乳下，其跳动感应衣服，这是宗气的表现。喘息急促、脉搏数而时有中断的，则病在中焦结聚，横向有积块；脉搏绝不至的是死证；乳下部位，其跳动感应衣服，是宗气外泄。虚里穴，位于左乳下，心脏尖底，胃底之上，五脏的脉气滋生于胃，而胃气通于五脏的，就是宗气。
宗气，是由胃腑的水谷所生成，也就是呕吐时所闻到的酸腐难闻、五味杂陈、燥焦香腥腐之气与酸苦甘辛咸之味。
食物进入胃中，经胃搅拌腐熟所产生的气味，从胃底的虚里穴送入肺，这个虚里穴的气称为宗气，也称为胃气。
肺有肺气——后天呼吸之气，肾有肾气——先天生命之气，胃有胃气——食物养育体力之气。三气孕育生命体的生命活力，是三焦运作的根本，缺其一则生命结束死亡。
肺是十二经络气运行的开始，肝是十二经络气运行的终结，胃气是食物的清轻之气，经胃的虚里穴而入于肺，与呼吸的风暑寒湿燥火之气相调配，经心脏的跳动，气血相合，气能推动，输送到五脏六腑，以为五脏六腑的先天气（肾）、后天气（肺）与食物所生的气（胃气）相调合，产生活力即为气力，使身体五脏六腑运作持续不断活动。
如果胃气盛喘、脉搏数而时有中断，则病在中焦膈膜结聚为积滞，即在中焦横膈膜一带有积结之病；若胃气绝则为死证。若胃气动得感应衣服，则是宗气外泄。
胃气（食物之气），如果遇到不能接受的食物，则上吐下泻以排除它，使身体不受伤害，不使毒素积存体内危害气血循环。若胃气无法将身体不能接受的食物、药物处理，则成为积滞，导致血瘀气滞而成瘤。
气不能运行而成积滞为病，有风暑寒湿燥火之气滞，有臊焦香腥腐、酸苦甘辛咸之气滞，有喜怒忧思悲恐惊七情之气滞，有各气杂合而至的不同，这就是痈疽积聚肿瘤的起始。
食物之气入胃，并未入肠，所以食物进入十二指肠后，酸腐食臭之气即不存在，是为有形的物质下降入肠吸收为营养，无形的清气经虚里穴入肺而为身体气血运行之气机。

Yu Chang said: After sweating therapy for Shanghan (Cold Damage disease), the pathogenic heat should have been resolved! Why does the body and eyes turn yellow as if steamed? The reason is that cold-dampness condenses and gathers, residing precisely within the "shell" of the body; thus, jaundice occurs. "Interior" (Li) here is a general term for the inside, not implying that cold-dampness has deeply penetrated into the Zang-Fu organs, because the body and eyes belong to the shell, unrelated to the Zang-Fu organs. One should seek the cause within cold-dampness and find the treatment method for cold-dampness.
In Shanghan disease, if stagnant heat resides in the interior, the body will certainly turn yellow; this is primarily treated with Mahlian Lianyao Chixiaodou Decoction (Mahuang, Cinnamon Twig, Red Bean, and Coix Seed Decoction).
In Shanghan disease, after seven or eight days, if the body is yellow like an orange peel, urination is difficult, and there is slight abdominal fullness, this is primarily treated with Yinchenhao Tang (Artemisia Capillaris Decoction).
In Shanghan disease, if the body turns yellow accompanied by fever, this is primarily treated with Zhizi Bopi Tang (Gardenia and Phellodendron Bark Decoction).
If Yangming disease is subjected to fire therapy (such as moxibustion or fire fumigation), resulting in slight sweating on the forehead but no urination, jaundice will inevitably occur.
If Yangming disease presents with no sweating, difficult urination, and mental restlessness/agonizing discomfort (Xinzhong Aonao), the body will certainly turn yellow.
In Yangming disease, if the face is entirely red, purgative methods must not be used; otherwise, fever, yellow complexion, and difficult urination will definitely occur.
In Yangming disease, fever and sweating indicate that heat is venting outward, so jaundice will not occur. However, if there is only head sweating, no body sweating, sweat stopping at the neck, difficult urination, thirst, and desire to drink fluids, this indicates stagnant heat residing in the interior, and the body will certainly turn yellow; this is primarily treated with Yinchenhao Tang (Artemisia Capillaris Decoction).
In Shanghan disease, if the pulse is floating and slow, and the hands and feet are naturally warm, the disease is associated with Taiyin Spleen. Taiyin disease typically causes jaundice; however, if urination is normal and free, jaundice will not occur. By the seventh or eighth day, if the stool becomes hard, it transforms into Yangming disease.
For Jaundice disease with difficult urination, Yinchen Wuling San (Artemisia Capillaris and Five-Ingredient Poria Pill) is primarily used.
For exterior excess with no sweating, use Ephedrae Herba (Mahuang, 麻黄) and Artemisiae Scopariae Herba (Yinchen, 茵陈), decocted in good wine without ash, to induce sweating.
For interior excess with constipation, use Artemisiae Scopariae Herba (Yinchen, 茵陈), Fructus Gardeniae (Zhizi, 栀子), and Radix et Rhizoma Rhei (Dahuang, 大黄) to purge.
For cases with neither exterior nor interior syndromes, use Artemisiae Scopariae Herba (Yinchen, 茵陈), Cortex Phellodendri (Bapi, 柏皮), and Fructus Gardeniae (Zhizi, 栀子) to clear heat.
Jaundice, whether presenting with exterior, interior, deficiency, or excess syndromes, is caused by the Spleen and Stomach (Taiyin and Yangming Earth elements), not by the Liver and Gallbladder (Jueyin and Shaoyang). Therefore, chest and abdominal distension, yellowing of the face and eyes, and short, dark urine are all due to the struggle between damp-heat from food and water in the Spleen and Stomach, generating jaundice through damp-heat.
For Yin Jaundice, Lizhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction) added with Artemisiae Scopariae Herba (Yinchen, 茵陈), or Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root) and Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger), or Yinchen Tang (Artemisia Capillaris Decoction) is used.
For Yang Jaundice, Zhizi, Bapi, and Dahuang Tang (Gardenia, Phellodendron Bark, and Rhubarb Decoction) is used to purge.
The *Suwen* (Basic Questions), *Yushu Zhenzang Lun*: "Wind is the leader of a hundred diseases. When wind-cold invades humans, causing hair follicles to stand erect and skin pores to close, generating heat, one should induce sweating at this time. If bi-syndrome (obstruction) with numbness, pain, and swelling occurs, one should use hot compresses, moxibustion, or acupuncture to expel the pathogen. If untreated, the disease transmits from the Liver to the Spleen, named Pipeng (Spleen Wind), developing into Dan disease (jaundice), with heat in the abdomen, vexation, and discharge of yellow matter."
*Zhangshi Yitong*: "Among jaundice syndromes, Heijian (Black Jaundice) is the most severe, usually caused by indulgence after drinking alcohol, allowing dampness to flow into the marrow and viscera, signaling the failure of Earth and collapse of Water. In early stages, when form and spirit are not yet emaciated, damp-heat can still be attacked, serving as a guide to dispel jaundice. If the disease persists until muscles waste away, true Yuan Qi is exhausted, and Ying blood cannot be restored from the dried-up source. An actor suffered from Heijian; he was given Xiaoshi Fanshi San (Niter and Alum Powder) made into pills, taking five pills morning and evening. After four days, his lower abdomen cramped, first discharging bloody fluid, then passing black loose stools. By the eleventh day, the stasis was gone. Subsequently, he was treated with Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig), Lingzhi (Poria), Danggui (Angelica Sinensis), and Baishao (White Peony Root) for half a month, and recovered."
Based on the above, jaundice is not a disease of the Liver and Gallbladder, yet today many treat it targeting the Liver and Gallbladder, misleading many people!
2. How are liver cancer and cirrhosis caused? How are they cured?
(1) Wei Qi (Stomach Qi): To cure liver cancer and cirrhosis, one must first understand Wei Qi (Stomach Qi).
Food poisoning or a cold causing vomiting and diarrhea is the body's defense mechanism to handle unacceptable food, drugs, or viruses, producing detoxification to eliminate harmful substances.
Some people vomit upon smelling bad odors because their bodies reject and attempt to expel them. Strong individuals do not vomit at bad smells because their bodies can process the discomfort. Thus, illness presupposes the body's inability to adapt to external factors.
Vomited food smells sour, rotten, and mixed. However, once food reaches the duodenum, this smell disappears. When buying pig intestines (duodenum), one finds no such smell. Why?
*Suwen Pingren Qixiang Lun Chapter 18* states: "The great collateral of the Stomach is named Xuli, penetrating the diaphragm and connecting to the Lung, emerging below the left breast. Its movement affects clothing; this is the Zong Qi (Pectoral Qi)." Xuli acupoint is located below the left breast, at the apex of the heart and base of the stomach. The pulses of the five Zang organs nourish from the Stomach, and the Wei Qi connecting to the five Zang organs is Zong Qi.
Zong Qi is generated from water and grain in the Stomach, corresponding to the sour, rotten, and mixed flavors/smells smelled during vomiting.
Food enters the Stomach, is stirred and ripened, and its qi is sent from the Xuli acupoint at the stomach base to the Lung. This qi is called Zong Qi or Wei Qi (Stomach Qi).
The Lung has Fei Qi (Postnatal Respiratory Qi), the Kidney has Shen Qi (Congenital Life Qi), and the Stomach has Wei Qi (Qi nourished by food). These three qis nurture life vitality and are the root of Sanjiao operation; lacking one means death.
The Lung is the start of qi circulation in the twelve meridians, the Liver is the end. Wei Qi (clear and light qi of food) enters the Lung via the Xuli acupoint, mixes with respiratory air (wind, summer-heat, cold, damp, dryness, fire), combines with blood through heartbeats, and is pushed by qi to the five Zang and six Fu organs. It harmonizes with congenital Qi (Kidney), postnatal Qi (Lung), and food Qi (Stomach) to produce vitality (Qili), sustaining organ function.
If Wei Qi is rapid and intermittent, disease lies in the middle jiao diaphragm accumulation. If Wei Qi ceases, death occurs. If Wei Qi moves strongly affecting clothing, Zong Qi leaks externally.
If Wei Qi encounters unacceptable food, it causes vomiting/diarrhea to expel it, preventing toxin accumulation and harming blood/qi circulation. If Wei Qi fails to process unacceptable food/drugs, stagnation forms, leading to blood stasis and qi stagnation, forming tumors.
Stagnation of qi causes disease: stagnation of wind/summer-heat/cold/damp/dryness/fire, stagnation of foul/mixed flavors, stagnation of seven emotions, or mixed qi, initiating abscesses and tumors.
Food qi enters the Stomach, not the Intestines. Thus, in the duodenum, the sour/rotten smell vanishes.有形 (Tangible) matter descends to intestines for nutrition;无形 (Intangible) clear qi enters the Lung via Xuli to drive blood/qi circulation.
When food poisoning causes vomiting/diarrhea, stopping it with injections/meds prevents expulsion, causing abdominal distension. Anti-inflammatories damage the Kidneys, causing leg edema. This abdominal distension and leg edema in modern cirrhosis/liver cancer are actually due to the failure of Wei Qi to circulate.
(2) Formation of Liver Cancer and Cirrhosis
Intestines absorb tangible nutrients into the Liver for distribution to organs. Toxic food/drugs are handled in the Stomach—expelled via vomiting/diarrhea.
Food poisoning is expelled via vomiting/diarrhea. What about injections? Acceptable substances are fine; unacceptable ones have nowhere to go but the Liver. If the Liver can detoxify, it is fine. If not, toxins remain, forming tumors through chemical reactions with Western medicines.
Vomiting/diarrhea from diet or summer-heat dampness colds is the body excluding unacceptable factors, not gastrointestinal inflammation. Yet, patients are treated with anti-inflammatories, stopping diarrhea. Then the body tries to vomit to detoxify, but this is also stopped. The Heart, damaged by anti-inflammatories, cannot send Xuli qi to the Lung, causing abdominal distension—modern cirrhosis/liver cancer.
Stopping dysentery before toxins are fully expelled forces vomiting. Vomiting is also a natural detox mechanism. Blocking both leads to distension. Anti-inflammatories damage Heart/Kidneys, causing edema. Many modern liver cancer/cirrhosis/uremia patients with distension/edema suffer this Wei Qi failure.
Toxins accumulate in the Liver. To protect the body, the Liver seeks exit routes, causing skin itching. Itching is the Liver's attempt to excrete toxins.
Skin allergies or drug allergies are detoxification responses to unacceptable factors, similar to measles rash.
Itching should dissipate from the surface like measles. But suppressing itching with meds traps toxins inside.
Blocking all natural detox routes (vomiting, diarrhea, itching) forces the Liver to bear all toxins, leading to cirrhosis and liver cancer.
The Liver has dense structure and broad functions. Toxin accumulation into tumors doesn't kill quickly because the Liver can excrete toxins via Kidney urine.
The Kidney is the final exit for Liver toxins. Once in the Liver, toxins can only exit via Skin or Kidney Urine, not via Intestines or Vomiting.
Understanding the Liver, treating Liver disease should open paths for toxin excretion, enhancing the body's own detox, i.e., restoring Heart and Kidney function, rather than killing cancer cells.
Treating Liver disease is not about diagnosing tumor/toxin types. For Hepatitis A, B, or fatty liver, knowing the specific toxin isn't crucial; if Heart/Kidney function is normal, toxins/tumors are excreted via urine, normalizing Liver function. The principle is restoring/strengthening the Kidney.
Modern medicine harms Heart/Kidneys to clear Liver toxins/tumors, leading to renal failure where Liver toxins have no exit, causing death via urinary obstruction, not directly from liver cancer/cirrhosis.
Damaging the Kidney cuts off the final detox route, accelerating Liver toxicity.
If Wei Qi cannot transform, and Spleen governs muscles/limbs, Spleen/Stomach qi failure causes muscle wasting and abdominal distension.
Damaging Heart/Kidneys blocks toxin exit; damaging Spleen/Stomach impairs nutrient absorption/transformation. Abdominal distension in liver cancer/cirrhosis results from Spleen/Kidney/Heart deficiency, accumulating damp-heat/cold, wind-cold, blood stasis. It is a multi-organ disease, not just Liver/Gallbladder.
Abdominal distension is caused by Spleen/Stomach failing to transform food/water qi, not Liver/Gallbladder.
Leg edema is caused by Heart/Lung and Kidney/Yang deficiency, failing to transform water/qi. Thus, distension, edema, and jaundice are not Liver/Gallbladder diseases, but result from medical mismanagement of Hepatitis B/C, controlling enzymes (GOT/GPT) while damaging Spleen/Stomach/Heart/Kidney.
Finding liver tumors need not cause panic. The Liver has strong detox functions. As long as one does not aggressively attack tumors and damage Kidneys (causing urinary obstruction), liver tumors are not immediately life-threatening.
3. How does Hepatitis B cause cirrhosis and liver cancer?
Hepatitis B is not liver inflammation. It is wind/summer-heat/cold/damp/dryness/fire from a cold on the body surface, suppressed by antibiotics/anti-inflammatories or introduced via blood transfusion into the Liver/Gallbladder. This pathogenic qi entering the Liver causes fatigue and sleepiness, mistaken for liver inflammation and treated with anti-inflammatories. This damages Heart/Kidneys, weakening Liver detox/excretion, leading to accumulation.
People fear Hepatitis B testing and its link to cirrhosis/cancer, blindly trusting health authority ads.
Herbal medicines may help excrete accumulated toxins (antibiotics/chemicals) via urine, lowering GOT/GPT data. However, long-term anti-inflammatory use damages Kidneys (backache), worsening Liver toxicity and causing cirrhosis/cancer.
Blindly targeting Hepatitis B toxins, ignoring patterns (wind/cold/damp, dietary flavors, emotions, heat-damp/cold-damp/spleen-deficiency/kidney-yang/yin deficiency/blood stasis/qi deficiency/water retention), damages Heart/Kidney/Spleen/Stomach, destroying bodily functions.
Kidney damage blocks toxin exit. Urinary obstruction leads to death via Shaoyin meridian failure, not liver/spleen tumors.
In fact, not testing for Hepatitis B allows the Liver to self-regulate and excrete toxins without interference. Treating Hepatitis B causes harm; those who don't know they have it won't undergo harmful treatments, avoiding sequelae. Modern anti-inflammatory treatment for Hepatitis B adds disease to disease and poison to poison, leading to rapid deterioration and death due to improper treatment.
Liver biopsy (detailed in Health Check section) is also a major cause of patient death. Pressing or piercing a red/swollen skin tumor expands pain/swelling rapidly. Similarly, biopsy harms the Liver.
Biopsy damage is invisible; people see only rapid cancer progression. They don't realize the biopsy itself is the killer. Without biopsy, would cancer progress so fast?
Why is Hepatitis B so devastating in our country compared to foreign countries? Because foreign countries did not aggressively promote Hepatitis B prevention/vaccination like we did.
4. Treatment of Liver Cancer and Cirrhosis
Treating Liver disease requires understanding Liver meridian pathology and the generation/restriction cycles among Liver, Heart, Lung, Spleen, Stomach, and Kidney.
Knowing that Liver disease transmits to Spleen, strengthening Spleen/Stomach improves digestion and nutrition, boosting physical strength. Strong physique prevents toxin accumulation in the Liver. Tumors/toxins are naturally excluded. No special treatment needed; cirrhosis/cancer heals naturally.
*Suwen Weilun*: "Yangming Dry Metal governs qi, revealing Taiyin Damp transformation. Spleen heat causes Stomach dryness/thirst. Spleen/Stomach qi governs muscles. If Yangming fluids don't generate and Taiyin qi doesn't arrive, muscles become insensible (Rouwei). Liver belongs to Wood/Wind; Wind fears Dry Metal (Metal restricts Wood). Kidney is Water; Water generates Wood." *Wenbing Tiaobian Qiuzao Pian*: "Kidney governs five fluids and fears dryness... If Kidney Water is sufficient, it is calm; if deficient, it moves and dries." *Danxi Xinfa*: "Seven emotions internal injury, six evils external invasion, irregular diet, sexual exhaustion injure Spleen Yin. The transport official fails. Stomach receives grain but cannot transform. Yang rises, Yin descends, creating 'Pi' (stagnation). Abdominal distension, turbid/clear mixing, blockage, depression generating heat, heat retaining dampness, damp-heat generating each other, leading to distension."
*Lingwu Wuxie Pian*: "Pathogen in Liver causes hypochondriac pain."
*Suwen Zangqi Fazhishi Lun*: "Liver disease causes pain under both hypochondria radiating to lower abdomen."
Liver diseases include Liver Qi Stagnation, Blood Stasis, and Liver Yin Deficiency. Distending pain is mostly Qi Stagnation; stabbing pain is mostly Blood Stasis; dull pain is mostly Blood Deficiency.
Many liver cancer/cirrhosis patients pass black, tarry stools, indicating blood stasis accumulated in Liver/Spleen/Stomach. Patients often have large, firm abdomens, distended vessels, hypochondriac pain, dark complexion, spider angiomas on head/neck/chest/arms, purple-brown lips, thirst unable to swallow, black stools, purple-red tongue with spots, thin/rough or knotted pulse.
Before passing tarry stools, gastric varices or liver tumors may be detected, caused by blood stasis/toxic blood clogging Liver/Spleen. Cirrhosis/cancer is formed by this stasis. Passing tarry stools indicates the body is expelling abnormal stasis/toxins, not gastric bleeding. Do not stop bleeding. Strengthen Heart/Kidney to maintain strength through this phase; cirrhosis/cancer will heal.
