感冒：鼻涕、痰是水气湿痰凝结于鼻腔、喉咙，为太阳经经络病变。
鼻咽癌、淋巴腺癌：水气、湿痰凝结于耳下、淋巴、鼻咽，是为少阳经感冒之经络病变。详见鼻咽癌淋巴腺癌篇肺癌：水气，痰湿凝积于肺、胸腔，为痰湿、水气、瘀血凝聚，是为太阴、少阴经感冒之经络病变。详见肺癌篇肺积水即痰、鼻涕凝积在胸腔、肺。
尿毒症：水气、痰湿凝积于心下即胃口而呕吐或水肿是为少阴、太阴感冒之经络病变。
感冒、鼻咽癌、淋巴腺癌、肺癌、尿毒皆感冒水蓄不同经络所成如图。
高血压、糖尿病病患的水分必须从汗排出，如运动即可排汗而使升高的血压下降、血糖降低，但今日的医疗却用利小便以排除身体的水分而降血压，长期使用降血压药物利尿，伤害了心、肾，致心火无力蒸发水份排汗，而肾中之阳衰，阳气无法上升，致水蓄心下胃口，身体为将蓄积于心下胃口多余的水份排除而呕吐。
糖尿病因长期使用胰岛素，造成胰岛素中毒，皆因医疗的用药不当，造成心、肾的衰竭，引起全身的并发症详见高血压、糖尿病篇，并非高血压、糖尿病造成尿毒症。
心属火、肺属金、火为气的上升，今日许多尿毒症皆因感冒被消炎，造成心、肾的衰弱，致火无法将金肺之水分蒸发从鼻孔或皮肤汗排出体外，心君火肾相火中之阳弱，痰湿、水气蓄积中膈心下胃口，阻截肺气不能下降，金不能生水，肾中无水，被检查为肾脏萎缩，小便不通，实际并非肾的问题，而是心火衰弱，无力蒸发水气，致肺太阴之气不能下降，当补心、肺，使气下降，就像大地得雨滋润而不干旱，是为金生水，则肾得润而肾萎缩即痊愈，小便通顺正常。
肾中之阳衰下寒，身体无力作汗，就像冬天，地面寒冷，无水蒸汽上升，天上即没有雨可以下降，有雨可降也不能成沛然之量以滋润大地也，故大地一片枯萎如肾萎缩。
冬天在外面跑步，吃到冷风，即会呕吐，呕到冒一阵汗出，风寒排除，呕吐即痊愈，尿毒病患因被消炎致寒水蓄积于心下胃口而呕吐，因心被消炎衰弱，无力作汗，故呕吐不止，此呕吐不可止，当以温补心阳治之。
喝酒的人冒汗，若吹了冷风，毛孔忽然收缩，即会呕吐，因毛孔被风寒收缩蔽塞，致汗、水气无法排出，蓄积在胃内的水酒即会呕吐而排出。
许多食道癌的病患，并非胃肠、食道致病而无法吞咽，是感冒风寒被消炎引入，肝胆或胃造成不能吞咽，即伤风能食，伤寒不能食，但这些病患，初始都被当成肠胃发炎呕吐而消炎止吐，或被手术、或电疗到不忍卒睹的境地，笔者曾治疗数名被检验为食道癌，未被电疗或手术的病患，用小青龙汤治疗而病愈。
冬天跑步吃到冷风而吐，酒醉受风而吐，与尿毒症之呕吐相同，为毛孔无法排汗，身体从呕吐排出多余的水分而造成，酒醉、跑步为身体毛孔短暂被蔽塞的反应现象，尿毒症的呕吐是因感冒误消炎详见感冒为什么会治不好？篇造成火心为君火，肾为相火无力蒸发水以排汗，致水份风寒蓄积于胃口心下，身体无力排汗所造成。
（二）胀肿的分类与治疗
肿胀分血、气、水。
1。妇女的水肿
女人月经正行而感冒被消炎，致月经忽然减少或停经，乃因心被消炎无力，致风寒入内与经血结合而造成肿胀，是为瘀经血肿，并非水肿。
经云：妇人经水先闭后病肿者，乃寒湿伤于冲任，血雍经坠也，名曰血分，治此血分肿，乃血壅不行，流于四肢，故令浮肿，此不必治肿，但调其经，经通其肿自消，宜小调经散加红花、丹皮、牛七治之，或通经七厘散治之即愈，此症常腹痛严重，久病者肿消必须急补心肾以固元气。
经云：妇女若先病肿而后经闭者，乃土脾不制水，水邪泛滥溢于皮肤也，名曰水份。－水份肿乃水饮内停，膀胱之气化不行，水溢皮肤，故令浮肿经闭也，此但宜治水，水消肿退，其经自通，用茯苓导水汤治之。
水分、血分二者须详细辨别，但今日许多妇女之被洗肾，只是为了月经被阻住了，实冤枉了妇科医疗的进步。
气：肿胀之病皮厚色苍者，皆属气也，气阳，阳性急，故为胀速，每从上肿而渐下，得以安卧，邪在外也。
水：肿胀之病，皮薄色泽者，皆属水也，水阴－阴性迟，故为胀渐，每从下肿而渐上，更有咳喘不得卧之征。
ａ风水：上肿曰风，下肿曰水，故曰风水，其证面与胫足同肿，风水属阳邪，是为湿热所凝，起因风，急宜发汗。
ｃ湿水肿：下身肿，腰脐至两足皆肿，脾经湿热所成，急用利水之法，外用贴脐法。
ｄ风湿肿：通身肿，头面手足皆肿，因内停湿饮，外感风邪，风湿相搏，水道不利，外攻肌表，因而作肿。
ｂ水停中州胀满者，以舟车神佑丸攻之。
c重者用疏凿饮峻攻之。
ｄ轻者用茯苓导水汤和解之。
ｅ阳水：湿热内郁，水道阻塞，外攻肌表，以致外肿内胀，发热口渴心烦，小便赤涩，大便秘结，法当泄水不可少缓。详见医宗金鉴幼儿科ｆ阴水：因脾肾虚弱，脾虚不能制水，肾虚不能主水，以致外泛作肿，内停作胀，若二便不实，身不热，心不烦者，宜实脾散、金匮肾气丸、若服温补之药而无效验者，则是虚中有实也，欲投攻下之剂，恐难堪，若不攻之，又岂可坐以待毙，攻补兼施，或一补一攻，或三补一攻，或九补一攻，审其进退，俟有可攻之机，以意消息，药与元气相当，始能逐邪而不伤正也。
从上肿者多外感风邪，外散风水，故宜乎汗，从下肿者，多内生湿邪，内利水湿，故宜乎利水。
全身水肿外散，内利两解，二便秘涩者属里实，二便通者属里虚。
肿胀之病属虚寒者，投诸温补之药，而用之俱无效者，虚中必有实邪，欲投诸攻下之药而又难堪，然不攻之，终无法治也，须行九补一攻之法，是用补养之药九日，俟其有可攻之机，而一日用泻下之药攻之，然攻药亦须初起少少与之，不胜病，渐加之，必审其药与元气相当，逐邪而不伤正，始为法也，其后或补七日攻一日，补五日攻一日，补三日攻一日，缓缓求之，以愈为度，若能戒盐酱淡食百日，多有生者。
今日许多病患，治疗期间，病情稍有变动，即信心动摇，而换医生，或转回西医的，乃为病不能根治痊愈的真正原因，良可叹欤！
(三)洗肾、换肾－－只剩一个肾，人的生命仍能存活一段很长的时间，并不是真正的换肾成功
人的心脏跳动停止而死亡，有时死人还会复活，为什么呢？中医学以人的生命根源在肾，肾为生命能的根源，心脏为推动生命能活动的马达，马达停止活动，有时会因能的供应未终止而马达重新活动，人死复活的原因即在肾脏没有死亡，人还是可以复活的，耶稣年轻时为在印度的流浪汉，在印度习瑜伽，瑜伽功夫深者，生命之能肾强，故能死而复生。
性能：各种机器有各种机器的性能，仪器有仪器的性能，人体为天地设计最精致的机器－人为一小天地，人体的一生表现，就是肾的性能表现，肾有两个即肾分阴、阳，人体从形成到出生至死亡，都是肾的作用表现，故人因肾而出生、生长，亦因肾的衰竭而死亡，人的生命从肾中来，亦从肾中去，肾中之火熄了，人死了！
内经灵枢经脉第十：黄帝曰：人始生，先成精，精而脑髓生，骨为干，脉为营，筋为刚，肉为墙，皮肤强而毛发长，谷入于胃，脉道以通，血气乃行。又曰：肾主骨，骨主髓，脑为髓海。灵兰秘典论第八云：肾者，作强之官，伎巧出焉。详见补肾壮阳篇可以看出肾与人体生命之生长、发育、衰老、死亡之关系密切，肾与心脏循环，肝脏内分泌、营养调节肺呼吸，脾胃消化五脏之关系，及一切生理、心理作用都有直接、间接的关系。
肾中精气充盛，体力、智力旺盛，虚则出现一系列病症，经补肾治疗后的病人，表现为全身症状的改善，证明了肾在人体生命活动中的重要性。
水肿不是单从肾脏着手可以使病治疗痊愈，从中医学可以很明白肿胀之有许多不同原因，即有许多不同的治疗方法。
洗肾不是洗肾脏，而是洗心脏，因心火受水克，将心脏血液中蓄积过多的水，用透析法袪除水分，即过滤袪除血液中的水分称血液透析由此可见西医跟病患说的与做的是两回事不是洗肾脏。
血液透析并不能使心火蒸发水汽的功能恢复，我们呼吸x冬天可见白茫茫的水气在鼻子进出，夏天的流汗，空气中的水分，分分秒秒必须进入身体，亦分分秒秒必须排出体外，以造成身体血液循环正常，体温的正常，水分进入体内，无力排出，乃造成血压的升高。
血压升高，乃身体排除循环障碍，以促使过多水份排除的自然反应与发烧相同，汗出即解降血压却使水分从小便强制排出，降血压药更造成心脏的负荷，心脏无力，致造成进入体内的水分时时都在凝结，无法从汗排出，水气凝结造成呼吸喘急，心脏不适的压迫感。
洗肾虽暂时减轻心脏的负荷，但长期的洗肾，反造成心肾的更衰弱，对病患的健康恢复是落井下石，置病患于万劫不复的境地。
袪除身体多余的水分，当以恢复心、肾之阳火使汗能自然排出，则小便自然恢复正常，今日洗肾却在手腕把脉处做血管吻合术，把脉处在中医称为寸口穴－即太渊穴。
难经第一难曰：十二经皆有动脉，独取寸口以决五脏六腑，死生吉凶之法，何谓也！
寸口者脉之大会，手太阴之动脉也。脉者，资始于肾间动气，资生于胃中谷气，贯穿于十二经中皆有动脉，至于手太阴肺，足之少阴肾，足阳明胃俱动不休，独手太阴之寸口，以决五脏六腑死生吉凶之法者，盖由胃为五脏六腑之海，具清气上注于肺，肺气从太阴而行，太阴注手阳明大肠，手阳明注足阳明、太阴以次相传余经，昼夜循行如环无端，以成其度，会于寸口，变见于脉，故可以决人吉凶生死也。
内经云：脉会太渊，太渊穴名即寸口也，手太阴寸口者，五脏六腑之所终始，故把脉法取于寸口也。
寸口太渊穴能决人之生死，今日洗肾却在寸口处做血管吻合术，就像血癌都在病患膻中、命门、精泉穴抽取骨髓，都在致命要穴，对病患做致命的伤害，故常可听到医生对病患家属说：存活率是两个月或两年－即在这些要穴对病患伤害，在两个月或两年之内就要把病患弄死因为医师是只能断人的病，而不能断人的命许多被检查到尿酸一两百的病患，就被做血管吻合术，设好陷阱，手段多毒辣啊！
做了血管吻合术之后，血液的循环，动脉未经过微血管的减缓血液流速进入静脉，造成血液回流冲击心脏、心脏长期、日夜受动脉回流静脉血液不当的强力冲击而造成心脏的疲劳、衰竭，故许多做血管吻合术的病患因心脏衰竭而提早结束了生命。
器官移植－换肾，肾在中医学，在人体并非单纯的滤尿作用，切除一个肾脏，只剩一个肾脏，人也能活好多年，换肾的成功，病患只是没有死在手术台上，因另一个肾脏还在支撑着生命能的供应而使人存活，成功在那里呢？全世界有没有一个恢复健康正常的换肾病人呢？夸大不实的医疗宣传，谋财害命的科学，却洋洋得意器官移植的成功？何日大众才能认清科学的真面目呢？兹举数例：陈女士四十八岁：住新屋乡，在某教学医院洗肾，每星期洗三次，经人介绍至笔者诊所，诊断治疗廿天后，停止两星期多未来复诊，后来其先生来拿药，笔者问其先生，最近的情况如何？其先生说：我们回某教学医院检查，吃你的中药到底是真的有效，还是假的有效？
笔者说：一星期洗三次，现在二十天等于三星期没有洗，情况都很好，不是有效要什么才是有效呢？陈女士的先生说：回到教学医院时，该教学医院的医师说：为什么这么久没有来洗？其先生说：现在在吃中药，要回来检查中药治疗是否有进步？该教学医院的医师就很不高兴的说：以后超过一星期没有来洗，就不让你洗！笔者说：全省到处都有好洗，怕什么？要你△△教学医院才有好洗？为什么我们治疗得痊愈的你不相信，治不好，洗到死，治到死的你们却深信不疑呢？你要选择痊愈的呢？还是选择医死呢？
最后，患者还是畏惧教学医院的威胁，不敢继续治疗下去，病人的心态，实在令人叹息！
生路、死路实是自选的，谁都无法左右！可见许多医院是蓄意要置病患于洗肾的境地，以赚取黑心钱。
谢太太六十五岁，在教学医院检查为尿毒症，该院要其洗肾，其儿子说：我们那有这么多钱好洗呢？医生说：不洗你会后悔！
经人介绍笔者诊断，其子把教学医院的检查告诉笔者，笔者说：洗下去你会更后悔，经治疗三个半月而痊愈，其子并带去旅行回来，安然无事的过了五年。
五年后，有一天病人忽然觉得很不舒服，急送至该教学医院检查，该教学医院看过去的病历，认为是尿毒症，为什么不洗肾，其子告诉该医师说：尿毒症吃中药已痊愈，该医师说：吃中药了不起可以维持一到两年，不洗肾则定时炸弹随时都可能爆炸。
感冒：鼻涕和痰是水气与湿痰凝结在鼻腔和喉咙，属于太阳经的经络病变。
鼻咽癌、淋巴腺癌：水气与湿痰凝结在耳下、淋巴组织和鼻咽部，这是少阳经感冒引起的经络病变。详见《鼻咽癌淋巴腺癌篇》。肺癌：水气、痰湿凝聚在肺部和胸腔，是痰湿、水气和瘀血凝聚所致，属于太阴经、少阴经感冒引起的经络病变。详见《肺癌篇》。肺积水即痰和鼻涕凝聚在胸腔和肺部。
尿毒症：水气、痰湿凝聚在心下（即胃口处），导致呕吐或水肿，这是少阴经、太阴经感冒引起的经络病变。
感冒、鼻咽癌、淋巴腺癌、肺癌、尿毒症，都是由于感冒后水液蓄积在不同经络所形成的，如图所示。
高血压、糖尿病患者的水分必须通过汗液排出。例如运动出汗可以使升高的血压下降、血糖降低。但当今的医疗却使用利尿剂通过小便排除身体水分来降低血压。长期使用降压药中的利尿成分，会伤害心和肾，导致心火无力蒸发水分以排汗，肾中阳气衰微，阳气无法上升，致使水液蓄积在心下胃口处。身体为了排除蓄积在心下胃口处的多余水分，从而产生呕吐。
糖尿病患者因长期使用胰岛素，造成胰岛素中毒，这都是因为医疗用药不当，导致心和肾衰竭，引起全身并发症（详见《高血压、糖尿病篇》）。并非高血压、糖尿病本身导致尿毒症。
心属火，肺属金。火代表气的上升。如今许多尿毒症患者是因为感冒时被滥用消炎药，导致心和肾衰弱，致使心火无法将肺（金）中的水分蒸发并从鼻孔或皮肤汗液排出体外。心君火和肾相火中的阳气虚弱，痰湿和水气蓄积在中膈、心下胃口处，阻碍肺气不能下降。金不能生水，肾中无水，检查显示肾脏萎缩，小便不通。实际上这并非肾脏的问题，而是心火衰弱，无力蒸发水气，导致肺太阴之气不能下降。此时应当补益心肺，使气机下降，就像大地得到雨水滋润而不干旱，这就是“金生水”，则肾脏得到滋润，肾脏萎缩即可痊愈，小便通顺正常。
肾中阳气衰微，下部寒冷，身体无力出汗。就像冬天地面寒冷，没有水蒸气上升，天上就没有雨可以下降；即使有雨，也不能形成充沛的量来滋润大地，所以大地一片枯萎，如同肾脏萎缩。
冬天在外面跑步吸入冷风，就会呕吐，吐出一阵汗后，风寒被排除，呕吐即痊愈。尿毒症患者因被滥用消炎药导致寒水蓄积在心下胃口处而呕吐，因为心脏被消炎药削弱，无力出汗，所以呕吐不止。这种呕吐不可强行止住，应当用温补心阳的方法治疗。
喝酒的人出汗时，如果吹了冷风，毛孔突然收缩，就会呕吐。这是因为毛孔被风寒收缩闭塞，导致汗液、水气无法排出，蓄积在胃内的水和酒就会通过呕吐排出。
许多食道癌患者，并非胃肠或食道本身致病导致无法吞咽，而是感冒风寒被滥用消炎药引入肝胆或胃部，造成不能吞咽。即伤风能食，伤寒不能食。但这些患者起初都被当作肠胃发炎呕吐，使用消炎止吐药，或者进行手术、电疗，弄得惨不忍睹。笔者曾治疗数名被诊断为食道癌但未接受电疗或手术的患者，用小青龙汤治疗而痊愈。
冬天跑步吸入冷风而吐，酒醉受风而吐，与尿毒症的呕吐相同，都是因为毛孔无法排汗，身体通过呕吐排出多余的水分造成的。酒醉、跑步是身体毛孔短暂被闭塞的反应现象；尿毒症的呕吐是因为感冒误用消炎药（详见《感冒为什么会治不好？篇》），导致心为君火、肾为相火，无力蒸发水分以排汗，致使水分和风寒蓄积于胃口心下，身体无力排汗所造成的。
（二）胀肿的分类与治疗
1. 妇女的水肿
妇女月经正行时感冒并被滥用消炎药，导致月经忽然减少或停经。这是因为心脏被消炎药削弱无力，导致风寒入内与经血结合而造成肿胀，这叫“瘀经血肿”，并非水肿。
经书云：“妇人经水先闭后病肿者，乃寒湿伤于冲任，血雍经坠也，名曰血分。”治疗这种血分肿，是因为血壅滞不行，流于四肢，所以令浮肿。此症不必治肿，只需调理月经，经血通畅其肿自消。宜用小调经散加红花、丹皮、牛膝治疗，或用通经七厘散治疗即可痊愈。此症常伴有严重腹痛，久病患者在肿消后必须急补心肾以固护元气。
经书云：“妇女若先病肿而后经闭者，乃土脾不制水，水邪泛滥溢于皮肤也，名曰水份。”水份肿乃水饮内停，膀胱气化功能不行，水溢于皮肤，所以令浮肿且经闭。此症只宜治水，水消肿退，月经自然通畅。用茯苓导水汤治疗。
水分、血分二者须详细辨别。但如今许多妇女被洗肾，仅仅是因为月经被阻住了，这实在冤枉了妇科医疗的进步。
气：肿胀之病，皮肤厚、颜色苍白的，都属于气病。气属阳，阳性急躁，所以肿胀发生迅速，通常从上往下肿，能够安卧，说明邪气在外。
水：肿胀之病，皮肤薄、色泽正常的，都属于水病。水属阴，阴性迟缓，所以肿胀发生缓慢，通常从下往上肿，更有咳嗽气喘不能平卧的症状。
a. 风水：上肿叫风，下肿叫水，所以叫风水。其证候面部和小腿足同时肿胀。风水属阳邪，是由湿热凝聚而成，起因于风，急需发汗。
b. 石水：小腹部肿胀满闷，因为水在下部所以不喘。石水属阴邪，是寒结所致。
c. 湿水肿：下身肿，腰脐到两脚都肿，由脾经湿热造成，急需利水之法，外用贴脐法。
d. 风湿肿：全身肿，头面手足都肿，因内停湿饮，外感风邪，风湿相搏，水道不利，外攻肌表，因而作肿。
b. 水停在中焦胀满者，用舟车神佑丸攻之。
c. 重者用疏凿饮峻猛攻之。
d. 轻者用茯苓导水汤和解之。
e. 阳水：湿热内郁，水道阻塞，外攻肌表，以致外肿内胀，发热口渴心烦，小便赤涩，大便秘结。治法当泄水，不可稍缓。详见《医宗金鉴·幼科心法》。
f. 阴水：因脾肾虚弱，脾虚不能制水，肾虚不能主水，以致外泛作肿，内停作胀。若二便不实，身不热，心不烦者，宜用实脾散、金匮肾气丸。若服温补之药而无效验者，则是虚中有实也。欲投攻下之剂，恐患者难以承受；若不攻之，又岂可坐以待毙？应攻补兼施，或一补一攻，或三补一攻，或九补一攻，审察病情进退，等待有可攻之机，根据情况斟酌用药。药力与元气相当，才能驱逐邪气而不伤正气。
从上肿的多因外感风邪，宜发散风水，故宜用汗法；从下肿的多因内生湿邪，宜利水湿，故宜用利水法。
全身水肿，外散内利两解。二便秘涩者属里实证，二便通利者属里虚证。
肿胀之病属虚寒者，投诸温补之药，而用之俱无效者，虚中必有实邪。欲投诸攻下之药而又难堪，然不攻之，终无法治也。须行九补一攻之法，即用补养之药九日，等待其有可攻之机，而一日用泻下之药攻之。然而攻药亦须初起少量给予，不胜病者，逐渐增加。必须审察药力与元气相当，逐邪而不伤正，这才是正确的法则。其后或补七日攻一日，补五日攻一日，补三日攻一日，缓缓求之，以痊愈为度。若能戒盐酱淡食百日，多有生还者。
如今许多病患，在治疗期间，病情稍有变动，即信心动摇，而换医生，或转回西医治疗的，乃是疾病不能根治痊愈的真正原因，真是令人叹息！
(三) 洗肾、换肾——只剩一个肾，人的生命仍能存活一段很长的时间，并不是真正的换肾成功
人的心脏跳动停止而死亡，有时死人还会复活，为什么呢？中医学认为人的生命根源在肾，肾为生命能的根源，心脏是推动生命能活动的马达。马达停止活动，有时会因能的供应未终止而马达重新活动，人死复活的原因即在肾脏没有死亡，人还是可以复活的。耶稣年轻时曾在印度流浪，在印度习瑜伽。瑜伽功夫深者，生命之能（肾）强，故能死而复生。

肾中精气充盛，体力、智力旺盛。虚则出现一系列病症。经补肾治疗后的病人，表现为全身症状的改善，证明了肾在人体生命活动中的重要性。

《内经》云：脉会太渊。太渊穴名即寸口也。手太阴寸口者，五脏六腑之所终始，故把脉法取于寸口也。
寸口太渊穴能决人之生死。今日洗肾却在寸口处做血管吻合术，就像血癌都在病患膻中、命门、精泉穴抽取骨髓，都在致命要穴，对病患做致命的伤害。故常可听到医生对病患家属说：存活率是两个月或两年——即在这些要穴对病患伤害，在两个月或两年之内就要把病患弄死。因为医师是只能断人的病，而不能断人的命。许多被检查到尿酸一两百的病患，就被做血管吻合术，设好陷阱，手段多毒辣啊！
做了血管吻合术之后，血液的循环，动脉未经过微血管的减缓血液流速进入静脉，造成血液回流冲击心脏。心脏长期、日夜受动脉回流静脉血液不当的强力冲击而造成心脏的疲劳、衰竭。故许多做血管吻合术的病患因心脏衰竭而提早结束了生命。
器官移植——换肾。肾在中医学，在人体并非单纯的滤尿作用。切除一个肾脏，只剩一个肾脏，人也能活好多年。换肾的成功，病患只是没有死在手术台上，因另一个肾脏还在支撑着生命能的供应而使人存活，成功在那里呢？全世界有没有一个恢复健康正常的换肾病人呢？夸大不实的医疗宣传，谋财害命的科学，却洋洋得意器官移植的成功？何日大众才能认清科学的真面目呢？兹举数例：陈女士四十八岁：住新屋乡，在某教学医院洗肾，每星期洗三次，经人介绍至笔者诊所，诊断治疗廿天后，停止两星期多未来复诊，后来其先生来拿药，笔者问其先生，最近的情况如何？其先生说：我们回某教学医院检查，吃你的中药到底是真的有效，还是假的有效？

最后，患者还是畏惧教学医院的威胁，不敢继续治疗下去，病人的心态，实在令人叹息！
生路、死路实是自选的，谁都无法左右！可见许多医院是蓄意要置病患于洗肾的境地，以赚取黑心钱。
谢太太六十五岁，在教学医院检查为尿毒症，该院要其洗肾，其儿子说：我们那有这么多钱好洗呢？医生说：不洗你会后悔！
经人介绍笔者诊断，其子把教学医院的检查告诉笔者，笔者说：洗下去你会更后悔，经治疗三个半月而痊愈，其子并带去旅行回来，安然无事的过了五年。
五年后，有一天病人忽然觉得很不舒服，急送至该教学医院检查，该教学医院看过去的病历，认为是尿毒症，为什么不洗肾，其子告诉该医师说：尿毒症吃中药已痊愈，该医师说：吃中药了不起可以维持一到两年，不洗肾则定时炸弹随时都可能爆炸。
Common Cold: Nasal discharge and phlegm are the condensation of water qi (Water Qi, a pathological fluid metabolism issue) and damp-phlegm (Damp-Phlegm, a accumulation of dampness and phlegm) in the nasal cavity and throat, constituting a meridian pathology of the Taiyang Meridian (Taiyang Meridian Disease).
Nasopharyngeal Cancer, Lymphatic Gland Cancer: Water qi and damp-phlegm condense below the ears, in the lymphatic tissues, and nasopharynx, representing a meridian pathology caused by a cold of the Shaoyang Meridian (Shaoyang Meridian Disease). See "Nasopharyngeal Cancer and Lymphatic Gland Cancer Chapter". Lung Cancer: Water qi, phlegm-dampness accumulate in the lungs and thoracic cavity, resulting from the condensation of phlegm-dampness, water qi, and blood stasis (Blood Stasis), constituting a meridian pathology caused by a cold of the Taiyin Meridian (Taiyin Meridian Disease) and Shaoyin Meridian (Shaoyin Meridian Disease). See "Lung Cancer Chapter". Pulmonary Effusion is the accumulation of phlegm and nasal discharge in the thoracic cavity and lungs.
Uremia: Water qi and damp-phlegm accumulate at the "Xin Xia" (Below the Heart, i.e., the stomach area), causing vomiting or edema. This is a meridian pathology caused by a cold of the Shaoyin Meridian and Taiyin Meridian.
Common cold, nasopharyngeal cancer, lymphatic gland cancer, lung cancer, and uremia are all formed by the accumulation of water in different meridians due to common colds, as shown in the figure.
Patients with hypertension (High Blood Pressure) and diabetes mellitus must expel body fluids through sweat. For example, sweating through exercise can lower elevated blood pressure and blood sugar. However, modern medicine uses diuretics to eliminate body fluids via urination to lower blood pressure. Long-term use of diuretic antihypertensive drugs damages the Heart and Kidney, rendering the Heart Fire unable to evaporate fluids for sweating, and causing the Yang Qi in the Kidney to decline. With Yang Qi unable to ascend, water accumulates at Xin Xia (the stomach area). To eliminate the excess water accumulated at Xin Xia, the body induces vomiting.
Diabetic patients who use insulin long-term suffer from insulin toxicity due to improper medical medication, leading to Heart and Kidney failure and systemic complications (see "Hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus Chapter"). It is not hypertension or diabetes mellitus that causes uremia.
The Heart belongs to Fire, and the Lung belongs to Metal. Fire represents the ascending movement of Qi. Many current uremia cases result from the abuse of anti-inflammatory drugs during a common cold, causing Heart and Kidney weakness. This prevents Heart Fire from evaporating the fluids in the Lung (Metal) to be expelled through the nose or skin sweat. The Yang within the Heart Monarch Fire and Kidney Minister Fire is weak; damp-phlegm and water qi accumulate in the middle separator, Xin Xia, and stomach area, obstructing the descending function of Lung Qi. Since Metal cannot generate Water, there is no water in the Kidney. Examinations show kidney atrophy and urinary obstruction. In reality, this is not a Kidney problem but rather Heart Fire weakness, unable to evaporate water qi, preventing the Taiyin Qi of the Lung from descending. At this point, one should tonify the Heart and Lung to facilitate Qi descent, similar to how the earth is moistened by rain and does not dry up. This is "Metal generating Water," which moistens the Kidney, curing kidney atrophy and restoring normal urination.
When Kidney Yang declines and the lower body becomes cold, the body lacks the strength to sweat. It is like winter: when the ground is cold, no water vapor rises, so there is no rain to fall from the sky. Even if rain falls, it may not be sufficient to nourish the earth, leaving the earth withered, akin to kidney atrophy.
Running outside in winter while inhaling cold wind causes vomiting. After vomiting out a burst of sweat, the wind-cold is expelled, and the vomiting heals. Uremia patients vomit because cold-water accumulates at Xin Xia (stomach area) due to the abuse of anti-inflammatory drugs. Because the Heart is weakened by these drugs, it lacks the strength to sweat, causing persistent vomiting. This vomiting should not be stopped forcibly; instead, it should be treated by warming and tonifying Heart Yang.
When a person who drinks alcohol sweats and is exposed to cold wind, the pores suddenly contract, causing vomiting. This is because the pores are contracted and blocked by wind-cold, preventing sweat and water qi from being expelled. The water and alcohol accumulated in the stomach are then expelled through vomiting.
Many esophageal cancer patients do not have difficulty swallowing due to gastrointestinal or esophageal disease itself, but because wind-cold from a common cold was introduced into the Liver/Gallbladder or Stomach by the abuse of anti-inflammatory drugs, causing inability to swallow. As stated, injury by wind allows eating, but injury by cold prevents eating. However, these patients were initially treated as having gastroenteritis with vomiting and given anti-inflammatory and anti-emetic drugs, or subjected to surgery or radiotherapy, reaching a pitiful state. The author once treated several patients diagnosed with esophageal cancer who had not undergone radiotherapy or surgery, curing them with Xiao Qing Long Tang (Minor Blue Dragon Decoction).
Vomiting after running in winter and inhaling cold wind, or vomiting after drunkenness and exposure to wind, is the same as uremic vomiting. It is caused by the body's inability to sweat through the pores, forcing the expulsion of excess fluids via vomiting. Drunkenness and running are transient reactions where the body's pores are blocked. Uremic vomiting results from the misuse of anti-inflammatory drugs for a common cold (see "Why Can't Common Colds Be Cured? Chapter"), weakening the Heart Monarch Fire and Kidney Minister Fire, making them unable to evaporate fluids for sweating. This causes water and wind-cold to accumulate at the stomach/Xin Xia, and the body's inability to sweat leads to vomiting.
(II) Classification and Treatment of Swelling and Edema
Swelling and edema are classified into Blood swelling, Qi swelling, and Water swelling.
1. Women's Edema
If a woman catches a cold and takes anti-inflammatory drugs during her menstrual period, her menstruation may suddenly decrease or stop. This is because the Heart is weakened by the drugs, allowing wind-cold to enter and combine with menstrual blood, causing swelling. This is called "Blood Stasis Menstrual Swelling," not edema.
The Classics state: "In women, if menstruation stops first and swelling follows, it is because cold-dampness injures the Chong and Ren meridians, causing blood stagnation and menstrual descent. This is named 'Blood Division'." Treating this Blood Division swelling involves addressing blood stagnation flowing to the limbs, causing edema. One need not treat the swelling directly; regulating the menstruation will cause the swelling to subside naturally. Use Xiao Tiao Jing San (Minor Regulating Menses Powder) with Hong Hua (Carthamus Flower), Dan Pi (Moutan Bark), and Niu Xi (Achyranthes Root), or Tong Jing Qi Li San (Unblocking Menses Seven-Cent Granules). This condition often involves severe abdominal pain. In chronic cases, after the swelling subsides, urgent tonification of the Heart and Kidney is required to secure the Yuan Qi (Primal Qi).
The Classics state: "If a woman has swelling first and then menstruation stops, it is because the Earth/Spleen fails to control Water, and water evil overflows onto the skin. This is named 'Water Division'." Water Division swelling is caused by internal retention of water drink, failure of Bladder Qi transformation, and water overflowing onto the skin, causing edema and amenorrhea. This condition requires treating the water; once the water subsides, menstruation will resume naturally. Use Fu Ling Dao Shui Tang (Poria Guiding Water Decoction).
One must carefully distinguish between Water Division and Blood Division. Yet today, many women undergo dialysis merely because their menstruation is blocked, which wrongfully undermines the progress of gynecological medicine.
2. Edema and Qi Distension
Qi: In swelling diseases, if the skin is thick and pale, it belongs to Qi. Qi is Yang; Yang nature is rapid, so swelling occurs quickly, usually starting from the top and moving down. The patient can lie comfortably, indicating the pathogen is external.
Water: In swelling diseases, if the skin is thin and has normal color, it belongs to Water. Water is Yin; Yin nature is slow, so swelling occurs gradually, usually starting from the bottom and moving up. There are also signs of coughing, wheezing, and inability to lie flat.
a. Feng Shui (Wind-Water): Upper swelling is Wind, lower swelling is Water, hence "Feng Shui." Symptoms include simultaneous swelling of the face and shins/feet. Feng Shui belongs to Yang pathogens, condensed from damp-heat, originating from Wind. Immediate diaphoresis (sweating method) is required.
b. Shi Shui (Stone-Water): Swelling and fullness in the lower abdomen. Because the water is low, there is no wheezing. Shi Shui belongs to Yin pathogens, caused by cold coagulation.
c. Shi Shui Zhong (Dampness Edema): Swelling of the lower body, from waist/navel to both feet, caused by damp-heat in the Spleen Meridian. Urgent diuresis is needed, along with external navel-patching methods.
d. Feng Shi Zhong (Wind-Dampness Swelling): Generalized swelling of the whole body, including head, face, hands, and feet. Caused by internal retention of damp-drink and external contraction of Wind pathogen. Wind and Dampness struggle, water passages are obstructed, attacking the muscle surface, causing swelling.
a. If water stagnates and attacks the Lung, causing急促 wheezing and inability to lie flat, use Su Ting Wan (Perilla and Lepidium Pill) to purge it.
b. If water stagnates in the Middle Jiao causing distension and fullness, use Zhou Che Shen You Wan (Boat-Chariot Divine Protection Pill) to attack it.
c. For severe cases, use Shu Qiang Yin (Draining Irrigation Decoction) for strong purgation.
d. For mild cases, use Fu Ling Dao Shui Tang (Poria Guiding Water Decoction) for harmonization.
e. Yang Water: Internal depression of damp-heat, obstruction of water passages, attacking the muscle surface, causing external swelling and internal distension. Symptoms include fever, thirst, irritability, red and scanty urine, and constipation. The treatment method is to drain water without delay. See *Yi Zong Jin Jian* (Golden Mirror of Medicine), Pediatrics section.
f. Yin Water: Due to Spleen and Kidney deficiency. Spleen deficiency fails to control water; Kidney deficiency fails to govern water. This causes external overflow leading to swelling and internal retention leading to distension. If bowel/bladder movements are unconsolidated, body is not hot, and heart is not irritable, use Shi Pi San (Solidify Spleen Powder) or Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan (Kidney Qi Pill from the Golden Cabinet). If warm-tonifying medicines fail, it indicates deficiency with excess pathogens. Using purgatives might be too harsh; not using them means waiting for death. Therefore, combine tonification and purgation: one tonify one purge, three tonify one purge, or nine tonify one purge. Assess progression and retreat, wait for the opportunity to purge, and adjust dosage according to circumstances. Only when the medicinal strength matches the Yuan Qi can pathogens be expelled without damaging healthy Qi.
Swelling starting from the top is mostly due to external Wind pathogen; disperse Wind-Water externally, so sweating is appropriate. Swelling starting from the bottom is mostly due to internal Damp pathogen; drain Damp-Water internally, so diuresis is appropriate.
For generalized edema, use both external dispersion and internal drainage. Constipation of stool and urine indicates interior excess; patent stool and urine indicate interior deficiency.
For swelling diseases belonging to deficiency-cold, if warm-tonifying medicines are ineffective, there must be excess pathogens within the deficiency. Purgatives may be too harsh, but not purging leaves no cure. One must use the "Nine Tonify, One Purge" method: use tonic medicines for nine days, wait for the opportunity to purge, then use purgative medicine for one day. However, start with a small dose of purgative, increasing gradually if the patient cannot tolerate it. Ensure medicinal strength matches Yuan Qi to expel pathogens without damaging healthy Qi. Later, variations like seven days tonify one day purge, five days tonify one day purge, or three days tonify one day purge can be used slowly until recovery. Abstaining from salt and soy sauce with a light diet for 100 days can lead to survival.
Today, many patients lose confidence and switch doctors or return to Western medicine at the slightest change in condition, which is the true reason why diseases cannot be cured. This is truly lamentable!
(III) Dialysis and Kidney Transplantation—Having only one kidney still allows a person to live for a long time; this is not a true successful kidney transplant.
When a person's heart stops beating and they die, sometimes they can revive. Why? Traditional Chinese Medicine holds that the root of life is in the Kidney, which is the source of vital energy. The Heart is the motor driving this vital energy. When the motor stops, it may restart if the energy supply hasn't ceased. The reason for revival is that the Kidneys have not died, so life can continue. Jesus traveled as a vagabond in India in his youth and practiced Yoga. Those with deep Yoga skills have strong vital energy (Kidney), enabling them to revive after death.
Performance: Various machines have various performances; instruments have their own performance. The human body is the most exquisite machine designed by Heaven and Earth—man is a small universe. A person's entire life manifestation is the performance of the Kidney. The Kidneys come in pairs, divided into Yin and Yang. From formation to birth and death, everything is a manifestation of Kidney function. Thus, humans are born and grow due to the Kidney, and die due to Kidney failure. Life comes from the Kidney and returns to the Kidney. When the Fire in the Kidney extinguishes, a person dies!
*Ling Shu: Meridians, Chapter 10*: Huang Di said: "When man begins to form, essence is formed first. From essence, brain and marrow are generated. Bones are the framework, vessels are the camp, tendons are the rigidity, flesh is the wall. Skin strengthens and hair grows. Grain enters the Stomach, vessel channels become open, and blood and Qi flow." It also says: "The Kidney governs bones, bones govern marrow, and the brain is the sea of marrow." *Ling Lan Mi Dian Lun, Chapter 8* states: "The Kidney is the official of strength and power, from whom skill and ingenuity emerge." (See "Tonifying Kidney and Strengthening Yang Chapter") This shows the close relationship between the Kidney and human growth, development, aging, and death. The Kidney has direct and indirect relationships with Heart circulation, Liver endocrine/nutrition regulation, Lung respiration, Spleen/Stomach digestion of the Five Zang organs, and all physiological and psychological functions.
When Kidney essence and Qi are abundant, physical strength and intelligence are vigorous. Deficiency leads to a series of symptoms. Patients treated with Kidney tonification show improvement in systemic symptoms, proving the importance of the Kidney in human life activities.
Edema cannot be cured solely by focusing on the Kidney. From TCM perspective, swelling has many different causes and thus many different treatment methods.
Dialysis is not washing the Kidney, but washing the Heart. Since Heart Fire is controlled by Water, dialysis removes excess water accumulated in heart blood via filtration, called Hemodialysis. Thus, what Western medicine tells patients and what it does are two different things; it is not washing the Kidney.
Hemodialysis cannot restore the Heart Fire's ability to evaporate water vapor. When we breathe (visible white vapor in winter entering/exiting the nose) and sweat in summer, atmospheric moisture must enter the body every second and be expelled every second to maintain normal blood circulation and body temperature. When moisture enters the body but cannot be expelled, blood pressure rises.
Elevated blood pressure is the body's natural reaction to exclude circulatory obstacles and expel excess fluids, similar to fever. Sweating resolves it. Lowering blood pressure forces water out via urine. Antihypertensive drugs increase cardiac load. Heart weakness causes continuous condensation of incoming fluids, which cannot be sweated out. Condensed water vapor causes respiratory distress and cardiac compression discomfort.
Although dialysis temporarily reduces cardiac load, long-term dialysis further weakens the Heart and Kidney, worsening the patient's health recovery and placing them in an irreversible situation.
To remove excess body fluids, one must restore Heart and Kidney Yang Fire to enable natural sweating, which will normalize urination. Today, dialysis performs vascular anastomosis at the wrist pulse-taking site, known in TCM as the Cun Kou acupoint—specifically, Tai Yuan acupoint.
*Nan Jing, First Difficulty*: "All twelve meridians have arterial pulses, but only taking the Cun Kou determines the life, death, auspiciousness, and inauspiciousness of the Five Zang and Six Fu organs. What does this mean? Cun Kou is the great assembly of pulses, the arterial pulse of the Hand Taiyin Meridian. Pulses originate from the moving Qi in the Kidney gate, are nourished by grain Qi in the Stomach, and run through all twelve meridians. While the Hand Taiyin Lung, Foot Shaoyin Kidney, and Foot Yangming Stomach all move continuously, only the Cun Kou of the Hand Taiyin is used to determine life and death... Because the Stomach is the sea of the Five Zang and Six Fu organs, clear Qi ascends to the Lung. Lung Qi travels via the Taiyin, notes to the Hand Yangming Large Intestine, Hand Yangming notes to the Foot Yangming/Taiyin, and sequentially transmits to other meridians, circulating day and night like a ring without end, meeting at Cun Kou, manifesting in the pulse, thus determining life and death."
*Nei Jing* states: "Pulses meet at Tai Yuan." The name Tai Yuan acupoint is Cun Kou. The Hand Taiyin Cun Kou is the beginning and end of the Five Zang and Six Fu organs, hence pulse diagnosis is taken at Cun Kou.
Cun Kou (Tai Yuan) can determine life and death. Today, dialysis performs vascular anastomosis at Cun Kou. This is like extracting bone marrow from fatal acupoints such as Dan Zhong, Ming Men, and Jing Quan for leukemia patients, causing fatal harm. Hence, doctors often tell families: survival rate is two months or two years—meaning damage to these critical points will kill the patient within two months or two years. Doctors can only diagnose disease, not destiny. Many patients with uric acid levels of 100-200 are subjected to vascular anastomosis, setting traps with vicious methods!
After vascular anastomosis, blood circulation bypasses capillary deceleration, entering veins directly from arteries. This causes blood reflux to impact the Heart. Long-term, day-and-night strong impacts from arterial-reflux venous blood cause cardiac fatigue and failure. Thus, many patients with anastomoses die early from heart failure.
Organ Transplantation—Kidney Transplant. In TCM, the Kidney is not merely for filtering urine. Removing one kidney, leaving one, allows a person to live for many years. The success of a transplant is merely that the patient did not die on the operating table, as the remaining kidney supports vital energy. Where is the success? Is there any patient worldwide who has returned to normal health after a kidney transplant? Exaggerated medical propaganda and science that harms lives for profit boast about transplant success. When will the public see the true face of science? Examples: Ms. Chen, 48, lived in Xinyu Township, underwent dialysis three times a week at a teaching hospital. Introduced to the author's clinic, she was diagnosed and treated for 20 days, then stopped coming for over two weeks. Her husband came for medicine. The author asked about her condition. He said: "We went back to the teaching hospital for check-ups. Is your Chinese medicine really effective or fake?" The author said: "Three times a week, now 20 days equals three weeks without dialysis, and conditions are very good. If this isn't effective, what is?" Ms. Chen's husband said: "When we returned, the doctor asked why we hadn't come for so long. I said we are taking Chinese medicine and want to check for progress. The doctor was unhappy and said: If you don't come for dialysis for more than a week, we won't let you!" The author said: "There are good places for dialysis everywhere in the province. Why fear? Do you think only our △△ Teaching Hospital offers good dialysis? Why do you believe us when we cure you, but blindly trust hospitals that treat you to death?" Finally, the patient feared the teaching hospital's threats and dared not continue treatment. The patient's mindset is truly sigh-worthy!
Life and death paths are self-chosen; no one can control them! It is evident that many hospitals intentionally place patients in dialysis situations to earn ill-gotten gains.
Mrs. Xie, 65, was diagnosed with uremia at a teaching hospital and told to undergo dialysis. Her son said: "We don't have enough money for dialysis." The doctor said: "You will regret not doing it!" Introduced to the author, the son reported the hospital's findings. The author said: "You will regret it more if you do it." After three and a half months of treatment, she recovered. Her son took her traveling, and she remained safe for five years.
Five years later, the patient felt very uncomfortable and was rushed to the teaching hospital. Seeing past records, they assumed uremia and asked why she wasn't dialyzing. The son told the doctor: "Uremia was cured with Chinese medicine." The doctor said: "Chinese medicine can at best maintain for one to two years. Not dialyzing means a time bomb could explode anytime."
