女人在行房事时,或排卵期,会分泌黏性的液体,此黏液就像炖鸡的鸡汁,乃为身体营养的精华。
女性生殖器官受刺激而肇致身上营养的流失,此流失的营养在子宫或阴道内腐败而排出体外即是带下。
在我们绕脐的腰部有一经络名为带脉,此带脉能束收五脏营养,以免流失,故营养流失而腐败排出称为带下。
带下有五种颜色,中医学称为五色带下,即白带、黄带、赤红带、黑带、青带,五色带下有单独发生,或合并一起发生者。
带下为营养流失、腐败而造成,非子宫的发炎感染,今日许多妇女皆被消炎,为什么消炎不能痊愈呢?因它实际并非发炎,故怎么消炎都不能痊愈,愈消炎身体愈虚,致病情愈严重,乃造成今日许多妇女子宫癌、子宫颈癌被切除子宫的悲剧详见子宫癌、子宫颈癌篇。
赤带属心、黄带属脾、白带属肺气虚、青带属肝、黑带属肾;五色带下皆因何脏受病而现不同带下。
男女皆有营养的流失,有时跟小便一起排出而不成带下。如糖尿病蛋白尿等,小便会起泡沫或混浊,或浮油等,皆为营养之流失,故其治疗不以由数据的多寡之控制,为痊愈与否的依据。
肾亏、败肾的原因很多,因食物的刺激、药物的伤害、情绪的打击、房事过度等造成身体的伤害致营养的流失,肾亏、败肾为进补以恢复脏腑的功能为目的,进补当找出原因而不能乱补,虚不受补实因补错营养所致,并非不能进补。故由此可知肾、膀胱并不是光为排小便用的。
素问灵兰秘典论第八肾者,作强之官,伎巧出焉。即肾为发挥身体能力的器官,脑力思想、巧能皆从此肾生出。
婴儿出生一两个月,他的小鸟阳具到了子时晚上十一点到一点,就会自然的跷起来,它并没有行房事的欲望,这跷起来是为什么呢?
有人说膀胱充满了小便想要尿就会跷起来,老年人膀胱充满了小便为什么连跷都跷不起来呢?
子时一阳生,即到了晚上子时,我们身体的气降到了极低点的会阴穴二十八星宿为虚危穴,气开始往上回升,气之始生为阳,阳为干,干为天,故曰天生于子。
故养生之道在子时不行房事,以免斲伤始生之阳。
子为少阳,少阳为胆,气之始生为足少阳,人之病死亦因胆少阳之气绝而亡肾,胆为风脏,胆绝则气风不能始动,肾为少阴,阴亡而阳绝,即胆不能激活肾气,阴阳无气可生升而亡。故人死定从脚冰冷向上而亡,是为肾中之阳绝而死亡并不是因心脏停止跳动而死亡。
降血压药物利尿造成阳痿或小便无力,即降血压药物在伤害阳气的上升,长期使用降血压药物的结果,造成身体的阳气不能上升而成为尿毒症详见高血压篇、肾脏病与尿毒症篇。
午时一阴生,即到了午时中午十一点到一点,我们身体的气往上升到极高点的百会穴,而开始下降。
因头顶百会穴为诸阳之会,唯厥阴肝经脉上至百会穴,引上升至极顶的气往下降,气之始降为阴,阴为坤,坤为地,肝为丑,故曰地生于丑。如图五人自出生,即以呼吸维系生命,三分钟不呼吸即断气,生命随之结束,而出生后呼吸乃从肺始,肺为寅,故曰人生于寅。
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。肾为我们生命之根源,阳为生生之能,身体的生长、强壮唯靠肾为本,肾强则生命之生机强壮,身体自然健康,肾中之阳乃我们生命的阳能,能力、体力因之而生,犹树之根,故补肾壮阳乃为健康之医学,男女皆可以补肾壮阳,而不是狭义字面的补男性的阳具。
冬至一阳生,即我们身体的气降至一年之最低点而开始上升,立冬气即降至少阳经,少阳为气上升之始见图三-故在立冬进补为储备上升之气能源充足,上升气能强盛,身体即健康,抵抗力强而不易生病,故冬令进补是为预防医学的根本之道,即补阳气也。
民国七十九年四月廿日中视九十分钟,介绍中医补肾壮阳四个字,请肾脏泌尿科江万*权威解说中医补肾壮阳的定义:该权威说:补肾壮阳就是以前的中医拿来欺骗皇帝,皇帝吃了没有效,中医就说是因为吃了这个没有效,吃了那个没有效所以补肾壮阳是中医在欺骗皇帝,欺骗大众的补肾壮阳对人体是极其重要的抵抗疾病之医学,健康的维护皆赖肾中之阳的强壮,但是大众却看不到补肾壮阳四个字的真正意义在那里?
翻开中国医学史,中医治病只有治什么病,用什么药,用什么方,并没有什么是御用药方,民间药方,更没有某权威所述的医学记载,若有人能提供中医任何经典有△权威所说的记载,笔者愿提供万元为酬,以获得此知识。
江湖郎中歪曲了中医补肾壮阳之真义,骗了三、五人,医学权威不懂中医的肾医学编造了莫须有的谎言,欺骗了千千万万的人,是医学恶棍?还是医学流氓?还是科学郎中?医学权威可以不懂医学而信口开河吗?
专家权威乱讲,传播媒体乱播,大众误听专家权威的话而误认草菅人命的医学为科学,医好人是科学,医死人还是科学?中医就是不科学?医好人也没有科学依据。
江湖郎中昔日郎中为医生,今日郎中为骗子,害了三、五个人,科学郎中权威却害死了千千万万的人,医学流氓更强奸了中医学补肾壮阳的真正意义!今日到底有多少科学郎中和医学流氓在歪曲医学,在危害国人的健康呢?
我们很怀疑今日的教育,会产生一个肾脏病人都治不好的肾脏病权威,这权威对尿毒症病人是否应称为医死人的权威呢?权威的医学是否使人很怀疑、纳闷呢?
我们为社会大众的生命、健康的安全,是否应该主持社会正义呢?
(六)断脐
断脐乃为婴儿脱离母体,个体自行营生的第一步,生为万物之灵的人类,与其它动物不尽相同。
医宗金鉴儿科断脐篇:婴儿初生,脐带剪断即用火器烙之消毒作用,当以六寸为度古尺六寸约为今尺之三寸半余,不可过于短长,短则伤脏,长则损迹又用烙脐饼子安灸脐上,以防风邪外入,用软绢新棉封裹之,以避尿湿风邪。
因脐者,小儿之根蒂也,名曰神阙,穴近三阴,喜温恶凉,喜干恶湿,如断脐悉遵前法,则水湿风冷之气不致入于脐中。
孩子出生,肚脐约五至七天脱落,自剪刀口至脐,每日干燥一寸气往内收,气收至脐,每日一寸刚好脐脱约为六寸。
今妇产科剪脐带皆仅一公分半至两公分仅为三寸半之半,至使小婴儿十有五、六肚脐凸出,甚至腹胀气、脐痛、日夜啼哭、或抽筋挛急、撮口,中医谓脐风脐凸,西医谓脐疝气。民间俗称水肚脐。大家可在一岁内的小孩肚脐从下往上轻按,会叽哩咕噜或凸出如龙眼核似的。
许多出生不久的婴幼儿,一到晚上就哭俗称百日关-要百日过后始不哭。因夜晚属阴,阴气盛就肚子痛而哭,一哭肚脐就突出,皆因肚脐剪太短或处理肚脐不当所造成。
夜晚啼哭的婴儿用蝉蜕散勾陈、蝉蜕、通草、防风、殭蚕、荆芥或加全蝎、支子,消风散或贴脐方即可迅速痊愈,而夜晚不再啼哭,年轻的父母,晚上亦可安心睡觉。
老产婆接生的婴儿与现代医学教育出来接生的小孩,一看肚脐便可分晓,风寒湿之气从肚脐侵入三阴经,致许多小孩大便如羊粪一粒一粒,便秘排便困难,皆因剪脐太短,风寒自肚脐入肠中,致肠无力蠕动所致,甚至大便下血,中医谓肠风便血,今日有多少年轻的父母,为孩子的便秘所困呢?肠子不能蠕动即气行无力-肺与大肠相为表里,遇感冒时,气行不顺,风寒外蔽孩子即易抽筋、搐搦。皆因肚脐剪太短容易受风所造成,却令味全AGU奶粉磷钙不平衡之说,蒙了不白之冤,恶人先告状,现代医学惹的祸,却把责任推给销路最大的厂商来挑。
二、为什么会生病?
生病是每一个人在一生中都会遇到的,因此恢复健康、治疗痊愈是每一个人都必须具备的本能,故每一个人都应是医师,每一个人都是医学权威,自己的健康靠自己来获得,而不能依赖别人也。
生病要治疗痊愈,首当了解生病的原因,解除生病的原因,则身体自己就有治病的能力,而获得健康。
中医学将生病的原因归类为三:
(一)外因:
气候的变化,身体对气候风、暑、寒、湿、燥、火六气所产生不能适应的病变,气候变化失调,起居失常,是为外感之病称外因。
(二)内因:
心理、情绪的变化,身体因七情六欲-喜、怒、忧、思、悲、恐、惊、爱欲而致身体不调,产生的病变,是为七情内伤所生之病称内因。
(三)不内外因:
1。伤食:对食物酸、苦、甘、辛、咸五味,臊、焦、香、腥、腐五臭对人体饮食失调所致之疾病2。外伤:刀斧、跌打损伤、火荡伤、车祸等。
任何疾病皆脱不了此内因、外因、不内外因而生病,是称为疾病三因。而内因或时兼外因,外因亦时兼内因,或三因单独发生,或内因、外因、不内外因三者杂合而至,对身体、心理产生不适应的证状是为生病今日空气的污染,化学药物的伤害等任何疾病的发生,亦不出此疾病的三个原因。
各地方气候不同,所生的病不同,春夏秋冬气候不同,所生的病亦不同,各地方的饮食、环境不同,所生的病亦不相同,甚至相同的病,在不同的人身上发生,其治疗方法,用药亦会有所不同。
任何疾病都有其发生的原因,及病灶与疾病的发作过程,到病情的痊愈,有因必有果,如今为什么会有许多全国、全世界都一样且原因不明的疾病,在困扰着、残害人类的健康,为什么呢?
大家若能细读本书,以中医的医学对疾病来了解,则天下并无不治之症,全国、全世界都一样,任何疾病都离不开此疾病的三因,今日各种文明病-高血压、糖尿病B型肝炎、癌症、AIDS等任何不治之恶疾,皆是因为疾病三因之治疗不当,受治疗药物伤害而产生之疾病的变化后产生的症状,了解中国医学的经络病变、六经传变,则任何不治的恶疾,都能迎刃而解,恢复健康,让我们来揭开科学的真谛吧!
日光、空气和清水三要素维系着我们的生命,此三要素的变化产生对生理不适应的变化,就是生病的主因之一。
日光、空气和清水即水、火、风产生气温的变化,为气的上升、下降、扩张、收缩与稳定,名为五行。
孔子家语五帝第二十四:孔子曰:昔丘也闻诸老聃:曰:天有五行,水火木金土,分时化育,以成万物,其神谓之五帝。天之五行-丹、龄、苍、素、元为五气,经化十天干气,降于地而成寒、暑、燥、湿、风,经云:天有五气,食人入鼻,藏于五脏,上华面颐即天以风暑湿燥寒之五气,从鼻而入,风气入肝,暑火气入心,湿气入脾,燥气入肺,寒气入肾,藏于常人之五脏,蕴其精华,上华于面。
素问:五脏候在五官,眼耳口鼻舌也,五行递相负载,休衰王旺相生,生成万物,运用不休,故云行也。即五脏肝心脾肺肾互相协调气的上升、下降、扩张、收缩、稳定的相生相克变化是否调和,在眼耳口鼻舌可以诊断得知也。
素问、天元纪大论篇第六十六:天有五行,御五位,以生寒暑湿燥风,人有五脏化五气,以生喜怒忧思恐人自出生始,用鼻子呼吸,皮肤的毛孔亦在呼吸,经云:肺气通于鼻,又云:肺主皮毛,即肺由鼻孔及皮肤的呼吸作用是相同的。
鼻孔、皮肤呼吸空气的作用,乃五脏在运行五气,即人体气的上升火、下降水、收缩金、扩张木及稳定土的作用由五脏风气入肝,燥气入肺,湿气入脾,寒气入肾,暑火气入心运行调理产生。
婴儿在母亲体内,以脐带为向母亲获取营养及空气的工具,肚脐的呼吸称为胎息肚脐是胎儿生命的根源故道家称之为胎元,以调理五气,是为先天呼吸,其时肺的气泡像降落伞般折合着,肺的呼吸仍为腺体气、电流的呼吸作用。
出了母体,剪断脐带,空气从鼻子进入,肺气泡像降落伞被空气撑开以作呼吸的作用,是为后天呼吸。
后天呼吸是为五脏操作气的开始,金气的收缩作用,肺使空气进入体内,藉心脏心与肾同属少阴经跳动的伸张,与收缩压力,将空气送达丹田肚脐,使后天呼吸接续胎息的先天呼吸,作体内内脏外皮肤,经络空气的交换,以加强肺后天的呼吸作用。事实:呼吸空气并非呼吸到肺,而是到丹田。
大家可以细细体会,我们的呼吸,早上十二个小时,空气是从左鼻腔进入绕肚脐而从右鼻腔呼出,下午十二个小时的呼吸,空气是从右鼻腔进入,经绕肚脐而从左鼻腔呼出。道家称此呼吸为调青龙,伏白虎。若静坐入静时,我们可以看见左边的气电流呼吸是青蓝色的-青龙肝木。右边的气是白色的-白虎肺金之作用不同。
婴儿的后天呼吸接续先天呼吸,乃在婴儿头顶跳动的囟门完全愈合后胸腺为先后天呼吸的交换器,即胸腺完全消失后,始达成先后天呼吸接续的任务。是以婴儿必须在头顶囟门穴愈合后,肚脐才停止胎息的作用,故剪脐带对婴儿一生的健康有极大的影响详见断脐篇。
女人在行房事时,或排卵期,会分泌黏性的液体,此黏液就像炖鸡的鸡汁,乃为身体营养的精华。
女性在性交过程中,或在排卵期间,会分泌黏稠的液体,这种黏液如同炖鸡汤中的汤汁,是身体营养精华的体现。
女性生殖器官受刺激而肇致身上营养的流失,此流失的营养在子宫或阴道内腐败而排出体外即是带下。
当女性的生殖器官受到刺激导致体内营养流失时,这些流失的营养若在子宫(Uterus)或阴道(Vagina)内腐败并排出体外,即称为带下病(Leukorrhea)。
在我们绕脐的腰部有一经络名为带脉,此带脉能束收五脏营养,以免流失,故营养流失而腐败排出称为带下。
在环绕肚脐的腰部有一条名为带脉(Dai Mai, Belt Vessel)的经络,它能约束和固摄五脏的营养,防止其流失;因此,因营养流失并在体内腐败后排出体外的病症,被称为带下病。
带下有五种颜色,中医学称为五色带下,即白带、黄带、赤红带、黑带、青带,五色带下有单独发生,或合并一起发生者。
带下病有五种颜色,中医称之为“五色带下”,包括白带(White discharge)、黄带(Yellow discharge)、赤带/赤红带(Red/Bloody discharge)、黑带(Black discharge)和青带(Green/Cyan discharge)。这五种颜色的带下可能单独出现,也可能混合出现。
带下为营养流失、腐败而造成,非子宫的发炎感染,今日许多妇女皆被消炎,为什么消炎不能痊愈呢?因它实际并非发炎,故怎么消炎都不能痊愈,愈消炎身体愈虚,致病情愈严重,乃造成今日许多妇女子宫癌、子宫颈癌被切除子宫的悲剧详见子宫癌、子宫颈癌篇。
带下病是由于营养流失和腐败造成的,而非子宫的炎症或感染。如今许多女性接受抗炎治疗,为何无法痊愈?因为实际上并非炎症,所以无论怎样抗炎都无法治愈,反而使身体更加虚弱,导致病情加重,从而造成了许多女性因患子宫癌(Carcinoma of the uterus)或子宫颈癌(Cervical carcinoma)而被切除子宫的悲剧(详见子宫癌、子宫颈癌篇)。
赤带属心、黄带属脾、白带属肺气虚、青带属肝、黑带属肾;五色带下皆因何脏受病而现不同带下。
赤带与心(Heart)相关,黄带与脾(Spleen)相关,白带与肺气虚(Lung Qi Deficiency)相关,青带与肝(Liver)相关,黑带与肾(Kidney)相关;五色带下的不同表现均源于相应脏腑的病变。
男女皆有营养的流失,有时跟小便一起排出而不成带下。如糖尿病蛋白尿等,小便会起泡沫或混浊,或浮油等,皆为营养之流失,故其治疗不以由数据的多寡之控制,为痊愈与否的依据。
男性和女性都会出现营养流失的情况,有时营养随小便排出而不形成带下。例如糖尿病(Diabetes mellitus)引起的蛋白尿(Proteinuria),尿液会出现泡沫、浑浊或表面漂浮油脂等现象,这些都是营养流失的表现。因此,治疗不应仅以指标数据的多少作为痊愈的标准。
肾亏、败肾的原因很多,因食物的刺激、药物的伤害、情绪的打击、房事过度等造成身体的伤害致营养的流失,肾亏、败肾为进补以恢复脏腑的功能为目的,进补当找出原因而不能乱补,虚不受补实因补错营养所致,并非不能进补。故由此可知肾、膀胱并不是光为排小便用的。
肾虚(Kidney Deficiency)和肾衰(Kidney Failure)的原因有很多,如因食物刺激、药物损伤、情绪打击、房事过度等导致身体受损,进而引起营养流失。补肾旨在通过进补来恢复脏腑功能。进补时必须查明原因,不可盲目进补。“虚不受补”实际上是因为补错了方向或物质,并非不能进补。由此可见,肾(Kidney)和膀胱(Bladder)的功能不仅仅是排泄小便。
《黄帝内经》(Huangdi Neijing)记载:肾(Kidney)主管骨骼,骨骼产生骨髓,脑为髓海。注:“主”意为主宰、操纵其活动。
素问灵兰秘典论第八肾者,作强之官,伎巧出焉。即肾为发挥身体能力的器官,脑力思想、巧能皆从此肾生出。
《素问·灵兰秘典论》第八篇指出:肾是“作强之官”,技巧由此而出。即肾是发挥身体能力的器官,脑力思维、灵巧能力皆由肾所生发。
婴儿出生一两个月,他的小鸟阳具到了子时晚上十一点到一点,就会自然的跷起来,它并没有行房事的欲望,这跷起来是为什么呢?
婴儿出生后的一两个月内,其生殖器在子时(Zi Shi,夜间11:00至1:00)会自然勃起,此时他并没有性行为的欲望,这是为什么呢?
有人说膀胱充满了小便想要尿就会跷起来,老年人膀胱充满了小便为什么连跷都跷不起来呢?
有人说这是因为膀胱充满尿液想要排尿才会勃起,但老年人膀胱充满尿液时,为何却无法勃起呢?
子时一阳生,即到了晚上子时,我们身体的气降到了极低点的会阴穴二十八星宿为虚危穴,气开始往上回升,气之始生为阳,阳为干,干为天,故曰天生于子。
子时一阳生,即在夜间子时,人体之气降至最低点(会阴穴,Huiyin CV-1,对应二十八星宿中的虚危二宿),气开始回升。气的初生即为阳,阳对应天干中的“乾”,乾代表天,所以说“天生于子”。
故养生之道在子时不行房事,以免斲伤始生之阳。
因此,养生的原则是在子时避免行房事,以免损伤刚刚生发的阳气。
子为少阳,少阳为胆,气之始生为足少阳,人之病死亦因胆少阳之气绝而亡肾,胆为风脏,胆绝则气风不能始动,肾为少阴,阴亡而阳绝,即胆不能激活肾气,阴阳无气可生升而亡。故人死定从脚冰冷向上而亡,是为肾中之阳绝而死亡并不是因心脏停止跳动而死亡。
子时对应少阳(Shaoyang),少阳归属于胆(Gallbladder)。气的初生始于足少阳胆经。人的死亡往往是因为胆的少阳之气断绝,进而导致肾气消亡。胆为“风脏”,若胆气断绝,风气便无法启动;肾为少阴(Shaoyin),若阴气消亡,阳气也就断绝了,即胆无法激发肾气,阴阳之气无法生发上升而导致死亡。因此,人死后必然是从脚部变冷逐渐向上蔓延,这是由于肾中阳气断绝而死亡,并非因为心脏停止跳动而死。
降血压药物利尿造成阳痿或小便无力,即降血压药物在伤害阳气的上升,长期使用降血压药物的结果,造成身体的阳气不能上升而成为尿毒症详见高血压篇、肾脏病与尿毒症篇。
降压药(Antihypertensive drugs)通过利尿作用可能导致阳痿(Erectile dysfunction)或小便无力,这意味着降压药损害了阳气的上升功能。长期服用降压药的结果,会导致身体阳气无法上升,从而引发尿毒症(Uremia)(详见高血压篇、肾脏病与尿毒症篇)。
午时一阴生,即到了午时中午十一点到一点,我们身体的气往上升到极高点的百会穴,而开始下降。
午时一阴生,即在午时(Wu Shi,中午11:00至13:00),人体之气上升至最高点百会穴(Baihui GV-20),然后开始下降。
因头顶百会穴为诸阳之会,唯厥阴肝经脉上至百会穴,引上升至极顶的气往下降,气之始降为阴,阴为坤,坤为地,肝为丑,故曰地生于丑。如图五人自出生,即以呼吸维系生命,三分钟不呼吸即断气,生命随之结束,而出生后呼吸乃从肺始,肺为寅,故曰人生于寅。
因为头顶百会穴是诸阳经交汇之处,唯有厥阴肝经(Jueyin Liver Meridian)上行至百会穴,引导上升至顶点的气向下运行。气的初始下降即为阴,阴对应地支中的“坤”(此处原文似有误,通常坤为地,丑为土,肝属木,原文逻辑较为独特,依原文翻译),坤代表地,肝对应丑(注:传统中医中肝属寅卯,此处依原文“肝为丑”记录),所以说“地生于丑”。如图所示,人自出生起,依靠呼吸维持生命,三分钟不呼吸即断气,生命随之结束。出生后呼吸由肺(Lung)开始,肺对应寅,所以说“人生于寅”。
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。肾为我们生命之根源,阳为生生之能,身体的生长、强壮唯靠肾为本,肾强则生命之生机强壮,身体自然健康,肾中之阳乃我们生命的阳能,能力、体力因之而生,犹树之根,故补肾壮阳乃为健康之医学,男女皆可以补肾壮阳,而不是狭义字面的补男性的阳具。
《黄帝内经·灵枢·经脉》第十篇记载:黄帝说:“人始生,先成精,精而脑髓生,骨为干,脉为营,筋为刚,肉为墙,皮肤坚而毛发长,谷入于胃,脉道以通,血气乃行。”肾是我们生命的根源,阳是生生不息的能力,身体的生长和强壮唯靠肾为本。肾强则生命力旺盛,身体自然健康。肾中的阳气是我们生命的阳能,能力和体力由此而生,犹如树木之根。因此,补肾壮阳(Tonifying Kidney and Strengthening Yang)是健康的医学之道,男女皆可进行补肾壮阳,而非狭义上指补充男性生殖器功能。
冬至一阳生,即我们身体的气降至一年之最低点而开始上升,立冬气即降至少阳经,少阳为气上升之始见图三-故在立冬进补为储备上升之气能源充足,上升气能强盛,身体即健康,抵抗力强而不易生病,故冬令进补是为预防医学的根本之道,即补阳气也。
冬至(Winter Solstice)一阳生,即人体之气降至一年中的最低点并开始上升。立冬(Start of Winter)时,气即降至少阳经,少阳是气上升的开始(见图三)。因此在立冬时节进补,是为了储备充足的上升之气能源。当上升的气能强盛时,身体就健康,抵抗力强而不易生病。因此,冬令进补是预防医学(Preventive Medicine)的根本之道,即补充阳气。
民国七十九年四月廿日中视九十分钟,介绍中医补肾壮阳四个字,请肾脏泌尿科江万*权威解说中医补肾壮阳的定义:该权威说:补肾壮阳就是以前的中医拿来欺骗皇帝,皇帝吃了没有效,中医就说是因为吃了这个没有效,吃了那个没有效所以补肾壮阳是中医在欺骗皇帝,欺骗大众的补肾壮阳对人体是极其重要的抵抗疾病之医学,健康的维护皆赖肾中之阳的强壮,但是大众却看不到补肾壮阳四个字的真正意义在那里?
民国79年4月20日,中视播出九十分钟节目,介绍中医“补肾壮阳”四字,邀请肾脏泌尿科专家江万*权威解说中医补肾壮阳的定义。该权威称:补肾壮阳是以前中医用来欺骗皇帝的,皇帝吃了没效,中医就说因为这个没效、那个没效,所以补肾壮阳是中医在欺骗皇帝、欺骗大众。然而,补肾壮阳对人体来说是极其重要的抵抗疾病的医学,健康的维护皆赖于肾中阳气的强壮,但大众却看不到“补肾壮阳”这四个字的真正意义所在?

翻阅中国医学史,中医治病只讲究治什么病、用什么药、用什么方,并没有所谓的“御用药方”或“民间药方”之分,更没有某权威所述的那种医学记载。如果有人能提供中医任何经典中有该权威所说内容的记载,笔者愿提供一万元作为酬谢,以获取此知识。
江湖郎中歪曲了中医补肾壮阳之真义,骗了三、五人,医学权威不懂中医的肾医学编造了莫须有的谎言,欺骗了千千万万的人,是医学恶棍?还是医学流氓?还是科学郎中?医学权威可以不懂医学而信口开河吗?
江湖郎中歪曲了中医补肾壮阳的真义,欺骗了三五个人;而医学权威不懂中医的肾医学,却编造莫须有的谎言,欺骗了千千万万的人。他们是医学恶棍?还是医学流氓?还是所谓的“科学郎中”?医学权威难道可以不懂医学而信口开河吗?
专家权威乱讲,传播媒体乱播,大众误听专家权威的话而误认草菅人命的医学为科学,医好人是科学,医死人还是科学?中医就是不科学?医好人也没有科学依据。
专家权威胡乱讲解,传播媒体胡乱播放,大众误信专家权威的话,将草菅人命的医学误认为科学。治好人是科学,治死人也是科学吗?中医就是不科学吗?治好人也缺乏科学依据。
江湖郎中昔日郎中为医生,今日郎中为骗子,害了三、五个人,科学郎中权威却害死了千千万万的人,医学流氓更强奸了中医学补肾壮阳的真正意义!今日到底有多少科学郎中和医学流氓在歪曲医学,在危害国人的健康呢?
昔日的“郎中”是医生,今日的“郎中”是骗子,害了三五个人;而“科学郎中”权威却害死了千千万万的人,“医学流氓”更强奸了中医学补肾壮阳的真正意义!今天究竟有多少“科学郎中”和“医学流氓”在歪曲医学,危害国人的健康呢?
我们很怀疑今日的教育,会产生一个肾脏病人都治不好的肾脏病权威,这权威对尿毒症病人是否应称为医死人的权威呢?权威的医学是否使人很怀疑、纳闷呢?
我们很怀疑当今的教育,竟能培养出这样一个连肾脏病患者都治不好的肾脏病权威。这位权威对尿毒症患者而言,是否应被称为“医死人的权威”?这种权威医学是否让人非常怀疑和纳闷?
我们为社会大众的生命、健康的安全,是否应该主持社会正义呢?
为了社会大众的生命和健康安全,我们是否应该主持社会正义呢?
(六)断脐
断脐乃为婴儿脱离母体,个体自行营生的第一步,生为万物之灵的人类,与其它动物不尽相同。
断脐(Cutting the Umbilical Cord)是婴儿脱离母体、个体独立生存的第一步。人类作为万物之灵,与其他动物不尽相同。
医宗金鉴儿科断脐篇:婴儿初生,脐带剪断即用火器烙之消毒作用,当以六寸为度古尺六寸约为今尺之三寸半余,不可过于短长,短则伤脏,长则损迹又用烙脐饼子安灸脐上,以防风邪外入,用软绢新棉封裹之,以避尿湿风邪。
《医宗金鉴·儿科断脐篇》记载:婴儿初生,剪断脐带后需用火器烙烫以起到消毒作用,长度应以六寸为度(古尺六寸约合今尺三寸半有余)。不可过短或过长,过短则伤及内脏,过长则留有疤痕。此外,还要用“烙脐饼子”置于脐上进行艾灸,以防风邪从外部侵入,并用柔软的丝绢和新棉包裹,以避免尿液浸湿和风邪侵袭。
因脐者,小儿之根蒂也,名曰神阙,穴近三阴,喜温恶凉,喜干恶湿,如断脐悉遵前法,则水湿风冷之气不致入于脐中。
因为脐带是小儿的根蒂,名为神阙穴(Shenque CV-8)。此穴靠近三条阴经,喜温恶寒,喜干恶湿。如果断脐完全遵循上述方法,那么水湿风冷之气就不会侵入脐中。
孩子出生,肚脐约五至七天脱落,自剪刀口至脐,每日干燥一寸气往内收,气收至脐,每日一寸刚好脐脱约为六寸。
孩子出生后,肚脐大约在五至七天内脱落。从剪刀口到脐部,每天向内收缩一寸,气收敛至脐部,每天一寸,总共约六寸,正好脐带脱落。
今妇产科剪脐带皆仅一公分半至两公分仅为三寸半之半,至使小婴儿十有五、六肚脐凸出,甚至腹胀气、脐痛、日夜啼哭、或抽筋挛急、撮口,中医谓脐风脐凸,西医谓脐疝气。民间俗称水肚脐。大家可在一岁内的小孩肚脐从下往上轻按,会叽哩咕噜或凸出如龙眼核似的。
如今妇产科剪断脐带通常仅留1.5至2厘米,仅为古法三寸半的一半。这导致十分之五六的小婴儿出现肚脐凸出,甚至腹胀气、脐痛、日夜啼哭,或出现抽筋挛急、撮口等症状。中医称之为脐风、脐凸,西医称之为脐疝气(Umbilical hernia)。民间俗称“水肚脐”。大家可以轻轻按压一岁以内小孩的肚脐,从下往上,会听到咕噜声或看到其凸出如龙眼核状。
许多出生不久的婴幼儿,一到晚上就哭俗称百日关-要百日过后始不哭。因夜晚属阴,阴气盛就肚子痛而哭,一哭肚脐就突出,皆因肚脐剪太短或处理肚脐不当所造成。
许多出生不久的婴幼儿,一到晚上就哭闹,俗称“百日关”,要过了一百天才不再哭。因为夜晚属阴,阴气盛则腹痛而哭,一哭肚脐就突出,这都是因为肚脐剪得太短或处理不当所造成的。
夜晚啼哭的婴儿用蝉蜕散勾陈、蝉蜕、通草、防风、殭蚕、荆芥或加全蝎、支子,消风散或贴脐方即可迅速痊愈,而夜晚不再啼哭,年轻的父母,晚上亦可安心睡觉。
对于夜间啼哭的婴儿,可使用蝉蜕散(含钩藤、蝉蜕、通草、防风、僵蚕、荆芥,或加全蝎、栀子)、消风散或贴脐方进行治疗,即可迅速痊愈,夜间不再啼哭,年轻的父母晚上也可安心睡觉。
老产婆接生的婴儿与现代医学教育出来接生的小孩,一看肚脐便可分晓,风寒湿之气从肚脐侵入三阴经,致许多小孩大便如羊粪一粒一粒,便秘排便困难,皆因剪脐太短,风寒自肚脐入肠中,致肠无力蠕动所致,甚至大便下血,中医谓肠风便血,今日有多少年轻的父母,为孩子的便秘所困呢?肠子不能蠕动即气行无力-肺与大肠相为表里,遇感冒时,气行不顺,风寒外蔽孩子即易抽筋、搐搦。皆因肚脐剪太短容易受风所造成,却令味全AGU奶粉磷钙不平衡之说,蒙了不白之冤,恶人先告状,现代医学惹的祸,却把责任推给销路最大的厂商来挑。
通过观察老产婆接生的婴儿与现代医学教育背景下接生的小孩的肚脐,便可分辨优劣。风寒湿之气从肚脐侵入三阴经,导致许多小孩大便如羊粪般一粒一粒,便秘排便困难,这都是因为剪脐太短,风寒从肚脐进入肠道,导致肠道无力蠕动所致,甚至出现大便下血,中医谓之肠风便血。今天有多少年轻的父母正为孩子便秘所困扰呢?肠道不能蠕动即气行无力——肺与大肠相为表里,遇到感冒时,气行不畅,风寒外袭,孩子就容易抽筋、搐搦。这都是因为肚脐剪得太短容易受风所致,却让味全AGU奶粉因所谓“磷钙不平衡”的说法蒙受了不白之冤。这是恶人先告状,现代医学惹的祸,却把责任推给销量最大的厂商来承担。
二、为什么会生病?
生病是每一个人在一生中都会遇到的,因此恢复健康、治疗痊愈是每一个人都必须具备的本能,故每一个人都应是医师,每一个人都是医学权威,自己的健康靠自己来获得,而不能依赖别人也。
二、为什么会生病?
生病是每个人一生中都会遇到的,因此恢复健康、治疗痊愈是每个人都应具备的本能。故每个人都应成为自己的医师,每个人都是自身的医学权威,自己的健康要靠自己去获得,而不能依赖他人。
生病要治疗痊愈,首当了解生病的原因,解除生病的原因,则身体自己就有治病的能力,而获得健康。
要使生病痊愈,首先必须了解生病的原因,消除致病原因,身体自身就会产生治病的能力,从而获得健康。
中医学将生病的原因归类为三:
中医将生病的原因归纳为三类:
(一)外因:
气候的变化,身体对气候风、暑、寒、湿、燥、火六气所产生不能适应的病变,气候变化失调,起居失常,是为外感之病称外因。
(一)外因:
气候的变化,身体对风、暑、寒、湿、燥、火“六气”产生的不适应病变,以及气候变化失调、起居失常,导致的称为外感病,称为外因。
(二)内因:
心理、情绪的变化,身体因七情六欲-喜、怒、忧、思、悲、恐、惊、爱欲而致身体不调,产生的病变,是为七情内伤所生之病称内因。
(二)内因:
心理和情绪的变化,身体因七情六欲——喜、怒、忧、思、悲、恐、惊、爱欲导致身体不调,产生的病变,是由七情内伤引起的疾病,称为内因。
(三)不内外因:
1。伤食:对食物酸、苦、甘、辛、咸五味,臊、焦、香、腥、腐五臭对人体饮食失调所致之疾病2。外伤:刀斧、跌打损伤、火荡伤、车祸等。
(三)不内外因:
1. 伤食:因食物酸、苦、甘、辛、咸五味,臊、焦、香、腥、腐五臭对人体饮食失调所致的疾病。
2. 外伤:刀斧伤、跌打损伤、火烧烫伤、车祸等。
任何疾病皆脱不了此内因、外因、不内外因而生病,是称为疾病三因。而内因或时兼外因,外因亦时兼内因,或三因单独发生,或内因、外因、不内外因三者杂合而至,对身体、心理产生不适应的证状是为生病今日空气的污染,化学药物的伤害等任何疾病的发生,亦不出此疾病的三个原因。
任何疾病都离不开内因、外因、不内外因而发病,这称为疾病的“三因”。内因有时兼夹外因,外因有时兼夹内因,或者三因单独发生,或者内因、外因、不内外因三者混杂而至,对身体和心理产生不适应的症状,这就是生病。如今空气污染、化学药物伤害等任何疾病的发生,也不出这三个原因。
各地方气候不同,所生的病不同,春夏秋冬气候不同,所生的病亦不同,各地方的饮食、环境不同,所生的病亦不相同,甚至相同的病,在不同的人身上发生,其治疗方法,用药亦会有所不同。
各地气候不同,所生的疾病也不同;春夏秋冬气候不同,所生的疾病也不同;各地的饮食、环境不同,所生的疾病也不相同。甚至相同的病,发生在不同的人身上,其治疗方法和用药也会有所不同。

日光、空气和清水三要素维系着我们的生命,此三要素的变化产生对生理不适应的变化,就是生病的主因之一。
日光、空气和清水三要素维系着我们的生命,这三要素的变化产生了对生理不适应的改变,就是生病的主要原因之一。
日光、空气和清水即水、火、风产生气温的变化,为气的上升、下降、扩张、收缩与稳定,名为五行。
日光、空气和清水即水、火、风,产生了气温的变化,表现为气的上升、下降、扩张、收缩与稳定,这被称为五行(Five Elements)。
孔子家语五帝第二十四:孔子曰:昔丘也闻诸老聃:曰:天有五行,水火木金土,分时化育,以成万物,其神谓之五帝。天之五行-丹、龄、苍、素、元为五气,经化十天干气,降于地而成寒、暑、燥、湿、风,经云:天有五气,食人入鼻,藏于五脏,上华面颐即天以风暑湿燥寒之五气,从鼻而入,风气入肝,暑火气入心,湿气入脾,燥气入肺,寒气入肾,藏于常人之五脏,蕴其精华,上华于面。
《孔子家语·五帝》第二十四篇记载:孔子说:“昔日丘曾听闻老聃说:‘天有五行,即水、火、木、金、土,分时化育,以成万物,其神谓之五帝。’天的五行——丹(红)、龄(青/绿)、苍(青)、素(白)、元(黑)化为五气,经过十天干的转化,降于地而成寒、暑、燥、湿、风。经文说:‘天有五气,食人入鼻,藏于五脏,上华面颐。’即天以风、暑、湿、燥、寒五气,从鼻而入,风气入肝,暑火气入心,湿气入脾,燥气入肺,寒气入肾,藏于常人的五脏,蕴积其精华,上荣于面部。”
素问:五脏候在五官,眼耳口鼻舌也,五行递相负载,休衰王旺相生,生成万物,运用不休,故云行也。即五脏肝心脾肺肾互相协调气的上升、下降、扩张、收缩、稳定的相生相克变化是否调和,在眼耳口鼻舌可以诊断得知也。
《素问》记载:五脏反映在五官,即眼、耳、口、鼻、舌。五行相互承载,休衰王旺相生,生成万物,运用不休,故称为“行”。即五脏(肝、心、脾、肺、肾)相互协调,气的上升、下降、扩张、收缩、稳定的相生相克变化是否调和,可以通过眼、耳、口、鼻、舌诊断得知。
素问、天元纪大论篇第六十六:天有五行,御五位,以生寒暑湿燥风,人有五脏化五气,以生喜怒忧思恐人自出生始,用鼻子呼吸,皮肤的毛孔亦在呼吸,经云:肺气通于鼻,又云:肺主皮毛,即肺由鼻孔及皮肤的呼吸作用是相同的。
《素问·天元纪大论》第六十六篇记载:“天有五行,御五位,以生寒暑湿燥风;人有五脏,化五气,以生喜怒忧思恐。”人自出生起,用鼻子呼吸,皮肤的毛孔也在呼吸。经文说:“肺气通于鼻”,又说:“肺主皮毛”,即肺通过鼻孔及皮肤的呼吸作用是相同的。
鼻孔、皮肤呼吸空气的作用,乃五脏在运行五气,即人体气的上升火、下降水、收缩金、扩张木及稳定土的作用由五脏风气入肝,燥气入肺,湿气入脾,寒气入肾,暑火气入心运行调理产生。
鼻孔和皮肤呼吸空气的作用,乃是五脏在运行五气,即人体气的上升(火)、下降(水)、收缩(金)、扩张(木)及稳定(土)的作用,由五脏的风气入肝、燥气入肺、湿气入脾、寒气入肾、暑火气入心运行调理而产生。
婴儿在母亲体内,以脐带为向母亲获取营养及空气的工具,肚脐的呼吸称为胎息肚脐是胎儿生命的根源故道家称之为胎元,以调理五气,是为先天呼吸,其时肺的气泡像降落伞般折合着,肺的呼吸仍为腺体气、电流的呼吸作用。
婴儿在母亲体内,以脐带为向母亲获取营养及空气的工具,肚脐的呼吸称为胎息。肚脐是胎儿生命的根源,故道家称之为胎元,用以调理五气,这是先天呼吸。此时肺的气泡像降落伞般折叠着,肺的呼吸仍为腺体气和电流的呼吸作用。
出了母体,剪断脐带,空气从鼻子进入,肺气泡像降落伞被空气撑开以作呼吸的作用,是为后天呼吸。
离开母体,剪断脐带后,空气从鼻子进入,肺气泡像降落伞被空气撑开以进行呼吸作用,这是后天呼吸。
后天呼吸是为五脏操作气的开始,金气的收缩作用,肺使空气进入体内,藉心脏心与肾同属少阴经跳动的伸张,与收缩压力,将空气送达丹田肚脐,使后天呼吸接续胎息的先天呼吸,作体内内脏外皮肤,经络空气的交换,以加强肺后天的呼吸作用。事实:呼吸空气并非呼吸到肺,而是到丹田。
后天呼吸是五脏开始操作气的阶段。金气的收缩作用,使肺将空气引入体内,借助心脏(心与肾同属少阴经)跳动的伸张与收缩压力,将空气送达丹田(肚脐),使后天呼吸接续胎息的先天呼吸,进行体内内脏、体表皮肤及经络间的空气交换,以加强肺的后天呼吸作用。事实:呼吸空气并非仅仅呼吸到肺,而是到达丹田。
大家可以细细体会,我们的呼吸,早上十二个小时,空气是从左鼻腔进入绕肚脐而从右鼻腔呼出,下午十二个小时的呼吸,空气是从右鼻腔进入,经绕肚脐而从左鼻腔呼出。道家称此呼吸为调青龙,伏白虎。若静坐入静时,我们可以看见左边的气电流呼吸是青蓝色的-青龙肝木。右边的气是白色的-白虎肺金之作用不同。

婴儿的后天呼吸接续先天呼吸,乃在婴儿头顶跳动的囟门完全愈合后胸腺为先后天呼吸的交换器,即胸腺完全消失后,始达成先后天呼吸接续的任务。是以婴儿必须在头顶囟门穴愈合后,肚脐才停止胎息的作用,故剪脐带对婴儿一生的健康有极大的影响详见断脐篇。
婴儿的后天呼吸接续先天呼吸,是在婴儿头顶跳动的囟门完全愈合之后。胸腺是先后天呼吸的交换器,即胸腺完全消失后,才达成先后天呼吸接续的任务。因此,婴儿必须在头顶囟门穴愈合后,肚脐才停止胎息的作用,故剪脐带对婴儿一生的健康有极大的影响(详见断脐篇)。
When a woman engages in sexual intercourse or during ovulation, she secretes viscous fluid. This mucus is like the broth from stewed chicken, representing the essence of the body's nutrients.
When the female reproductive organs are stimulated, leading to the loss of bodily nutrients, if these lost nutrients rot within the uterus (Uterus) or vagina (Vagina) and are discharged from the body, it is called leukorrhea (Dai Xia).
There is a meridian named Dai Mai (Belt Vessel) around the navel at the waist. This meridian can bind and collect the nutrients of the five zang organs to prevent loss. Therefore, the discharge of rotted nutrients due to loss is called leukorrhea.
Leukorrhea has five colors, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as "Five-Color Leukorrhea," namely white discharge, yellow discharge, red/bloody discharge, black discharge, and green/cyan discharge. These five types may occur individually or in combination.
Leukorrhea is caused by nutrient loss and rotting, not by inflammation or infection of the uterus. Many women today undergo anti-inflammatory treatment, but why does it fail to cure? Because it is actually not inflammation, no amount of anti-inflammatory treatment will cure it. Instead, it makes the body more deficient, worsening the condition, leading to tragedies such as many women having their uteruses removed due to uterine cancer or cervical carcinoma (see sections on Uterine Cancer and Cervical Carcinoma).
Red discharge is associated with the Heart; yellow discharge with the Spleen; white discharge with Lung Qi Deficiency; green discharge with the Liver; and black discharge with the Kidney. Different types of leukorrhea appear depending on which zang organ is diseased.
Both men and women experience nutrient loss, sometimes discharged with urine without forming leukorrhea. For example, proteinuria in diabetes mellitus causes foamy, turbid urine, or floating oil on the surface. These are all signs of nutrient loss. Therefore, treatment should not rely solely on controlling data indicators to determine recovery.
There are many causes for kidney deficiency and kidney failure, such as food irritation, drug damage, emotional shock, and excessive sexual activity, which harm the body and cause nutrient loss. The purpose of tonifying the kidney is to restore zang-fu function through supplementation. Supplementation must address the root cause and cannot be done blindly. "Deficiency unable to accept tonification" is actually due to incorrect supplementation, not an inability to supplement. Thus, we know that the Kidney and Bladder are not merely for urination.
(5) What is the significance of Tonifying Kidney and Strengthening Yang and Winter Supplementation?
The Huangdi Neijing states: The Kidney governs bones; bones produce marrow; the brain is the sea of marrow. Note: "Govern" means to command and manipulate its activities.
Chapter 8 of the Linglan Midian Lun in Suwen states: The Kidney is the official of strength and power, and skills emerge from it. That is, the Kidney is the organ that exerts physical ability; mental thinking and dexterity all originate from the Kidney.
One to two months after birth, an infant's penis naturally erects at Zi Shi (11:00 PM to 1:00 AM), even though he has no desire for sexual intercourse. Why does this happen?
Some say it is because the bladder is full of urine and needs to urinate. But why can elderly people not erect even when their bladders are full?
At Zi Shi, one yang is born. At night during Zi Shi, the body's qi descends to the lowest point at Huiyin (CV-1), corresponding to the Xu and Wei stars in the 28 mansions. Qi begins to rise again. The initial generation of qi is Yang. Yang corresponds to Qian (Heaven), hence it is said that "Heaven is born at Zi."
Therefore, the way of health preservation is to avoid sexual intercourse at Zi Shi to prevent damaging the newly generated Yang.
Zi corresponds to Shaoyang, and Shaoyang belongs to the Gallbladder. The initial generation of qi is in the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian. A person dies because the Shaoyang qi of the Gallbladder perishes, leading to the death of Kidney qi. The Gallbladder is the organ of wind. If Gallbladder qi perishes, wind qi cannot initiate movement. The Kidney is Shaoyin. If yin perishes, yang perishes, meaning the Gallbladder cannot activate Kidney qi. With no qi to generate and rise in yin and yang, death occurs. Therefore, death always starts with cold feet rising upwards, indicating the perishing of Yang in the Kidney, not because the heart stops beating.
Antihypertensive drugs causing diuresis lead to erectile dysfunction or weak urination. This means antihypertensive drugs harm the rising of Yang qi. Long-term use results in the body's Yang qi failing to rise, leading to uremia (see sections on Hypertension, Kidney Disease, and Uremia).
At Wu Shi, one yin is born. At noon during Wu Shi (11:00 AM to 1:00 PM), the body's qi rises to the highest point at Baihui (GV-20) and then begins to descend.
Because Baihui (GV-20) on the top of the head is the meeting point of all Yang meridians, only the Jueyin Liver Meridian ascends to Baihui, guiding the qi rising to the peak downwards. The initial descent of qi is Yin. Yin corresponds to Kun (Earth). The Liver corresponds to Chou (according to the text's unique logic, though traditionally Liver corresponds to Yin/Mao). Hence, it is said that "Earth is born at Chou." As shown in the figure, humans maintain life through breathing from birth. Three minutes without breathing leads to death. After birth, breathing starts with the Lungs. The Lungs correspond to Yin, hence it is said that "Man is born at Yin."
Chapter 10 of the Jingmai section in Lingshu states: The Yellow Emperor said: "When man is first formed, essence is created 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 is strong and hair grows long. Grain enters the stomach, vessel channels become open, and blood and qi then flow." The Kidney is the root of our life. Yang is the energy of life. The growth and strength of the body rely on the Kidney as the foundation. If the Kidney is strong, the vitality of life is robust, and the body is naturally healthy. The Yang in the Kidney is our life's Yang energy, generating ability and physical strength, like the roots of a tree. Therefore, Tonifying Kidney and Strengthening Yang is medicine for health. Both men and women can Tonify Kidney and Strengthen Yang, not just in the narrow sense of supplementing the male genitalia.
At Winter Solstice, one yang is born. This is when our body's qi reaches its lowest point of the year and begins to rise. At Start of Winter, qi descends to the Shaoyang meridian. Shaoyang is the beginning of qi rising (see Figure 3). Therefore, supplementation at Start of Winter reserves sufficient energy for rising qi. When rising qi energy is strong, the body is healthy, resistance is strong, and illness is less likely. Thus, winter supplementation is the fundamental way of preventive medicine, which is to supplement Yang qi.
On April 20, 1990 (Republic of China Year 79), a 90-minute program on CTI TV introduced the four characters "Tonifying Kidney and Strengthening Yang" in TCM. It invited Renal Urology expert Jiang Wan* to explain the definition. The expert said: "Tonifying Kidney and Strengthening Yang was used by past TCM practitioners to deceive emperors. When the emperor took it and it didn't work, TCM practitioners would say it's because this one didn't work or that one didn't work. So, Tonifying Kidney and Strengthening Yang is TCM deceiving the emperor and the public." However, Tonifying Kidney and Strengthening Yang is extremely important medicine for resisting disease in the human body. Health maintenance relies on the strength of Yang in the Kidney. But why can the public not see the true meaning of these four characters?
Flipping through the history of Chinese medicine, TCM treatment focuses on what disease to treat, what herbs to use, and what formulas to prescribe. There is no distinction between "imperial prescriptions" and "folk prescriptions," nor any medical records as described by certain experts. If anyone can provide any TCM classic containing the records mentioned by this expert, I am willing to offer 10,000 yuan as a reward to acquire this knowledge.
Quack doctors distorted the true meaning of Tonifying Kidney and Strengthening Yang in TCM, deceiving three or five people. Medical experts,不懂 TCM kidney medicine, fabricated baseless lies, deceiving millions. Are they medical villains? Medical hooligans? Or "scientific quacks"? Can medical experts speak nonsense without understanding medicine?
Experts speak recklessly, media broadcasts indiscriminately. The public mistakenly believes that medical practices that disregard human life are science. Is curing people science? Is killing people also science? Is TCM unscientific? Even curing people lacks scientific basis.
In the past, "quacks" were doctors; today, "quacks" are scammers who harm three or five people. "Scientific quack" experts have killed millions. "Medical hooligans" have raped the true meaning of Tonifying Kidney and Strengthening Yang in TCM! How many "scientific quacks" and "medical hooligans" are distorting medicine and harming national health today?
We strongly doubt that today's education could produce a renal expert who cannot even cure kidney disease patients. Should this expert be called an authority on killing people regarding uremia patients? Does authoritative medicine make people suspicious and puzzled?
Shouldn't we uphold social justice for the safety of the lives and health of the general public?
(6) Cutting the Umbilical Cord
Cutting the umbilical cord is the first step for an infant to leave the mother's body and live independently. Humans, as the spirit of all things, are not entirely different from other animals.
The Duanqi Chapter in Pediatric Section of Yizong Jinjian states: When an infant is born, after cutting the umbilical cord, it should be cauterized with fire for disinfection. The length should be six cun (ancient measurement, approx. 3.5 modern cun). It should not be too short or too long. Too short harms the internal organs; too long leaves a scar. Additionally, apply a moxa cake on the navel to prevent external wind-cold evil from entering, and wrap it with soft silk and new cotton to avoid urine moisture and wind-cold evil.
Because the umbilicus is the root of the child, named Shenque (CV-8). This acupoint is near the three yin meridians, prefers warmth and dislikes cold, prefers dryness and dislikes dampness. If cutting the umbilical cord follows the above methods, water-dampness and wind-cold qi will not enter the umbilicus.
After birth, the umbilical stump falls off in about 5 to 7 days. From the cut site to the umbilicus, it retracts one cun per day. When qi retracts to the umbilicus, totaling about six cun, the umbilicus falls off.
Today, obstetrics and gynecology departments cut the umbilical cord leaving only 1.5 to 2 cm, which is half of the ancient 3.5 cun. This causes 50-60% of infants to have protruding umbilici, abdominal distension, umbilical pain, crying day and night, convulsions, or mouth twitching. TCM calls this umbilical wind or umbilical protrusion; Western medicine calls it umbilical hernia. Folk commonly call it "water belly button." You can gently press the umbilicus of children under one year old from bottom to top; you may hear gurgling sounds or see it protrude like a longan seed.
Many infants cry at night shortly after birth, commonly known as the "Hundred-Day Barrier," requiring over 100 days before stopping. Night belongs to Yin. When Yin qi is strong, abdominal pain causes crying. Crying makes the umbilicus protrude. This is caused by cutting the umbilical cord too short or improper handling.
For infants crying at night, using Chan Tui San (containing Gouteng, Chan Tui, Tong Cao, Fang Feng, Jiang Can, Jing Jie, or adding Quan Xie, Zhi Zi), Xiao Feng San, or Navel Paste formula can quickly cure the condition, stopping night crying, allowing young parents to sleep peacefully at night.
Infants delivered by old midwives versus those delivered by medically trained staff can be distinguished by looking at the umbilicus. Wind-cold-damp qi enters the three yin meridians through the umbilicus, causing many children to have stool like sheep dung pellets, constipation, and difficult defecation. This is due to cutting the umbilical cord too short, allowing wind-cold to enter the intestines from the umbilicus, causing intestinal peristalsis weakness. In severe cases, blood appears in stool, called Intestinal Wind and Blood in Stool in TCM. How many young parents are troubled by their children's constipation today? Intestines unable to peristalse means weak qi movement. The Lung and Large Intestine are exterior-interior partners. During colds, qi movement is obstructed, and external wind-cold easily causes children to convulse. All this is caused by cutting the umbilical cord too short, making it susceptible to wind. Yet, Wei Chuan AGU milk powder was falsely accused of phosphorus-calcium imbalance. This is the villain accusing the victim first. Modern medicine caused the trouble but blamed the best-selling manufacturer.
II. Why Do We Get Sick?
Getting sick is something everyone encounters in life. Therefore, recovering health and healing is an instinct everyone must possess. Thus, everyone should be their own doctor, everyone is their own medical authority. One's health must be obtained by oneself, not relied upon others.
To heal sickness, one must first understand the cause of the sickness. Eliminating the cause allows the body to heal itself and regain health.
TCM classifies the causes of sickness into three categories:
(1) External Causes:
Changes in climate, where the body fails to adapt to the Six Qi (Wind, Summer Heat, Cold, Dampness, Dryness, Fire) of the climate. Climate imbalance and irregular daily routines lead to external contraction diseases, called External Causes.
(2) Internal Causes:
Changes in psychology and emotions. The body becomes imbalanced due to the Seven Emotions and Six Desires—Joy, Anger, Worry, Pondering, Sorrow, Fear, Fright, Love, and Desire—leading to pathological changes. Diseases generated by internal injury from the Seven Emotions are called Internal Causes.
(3) Neither Internal Nor External Causes:
1. Food Injury: Diseases caused by dietary imbalance due to the Five Flavors (Sour, Bitter, Sweet, Pungent, Salty) and Five Odors (Gamey, Scorched, Fragrant, Fishy, Rotten) of food.
2. External Trauma: Knife and axe wounds, falls and blows, burns, car accidents, etc.
Any disease arises from these Internal, External, and Neither Internal Nor External Causes, collectively known as the Three Causes of Disease. Internal causes may sometimes combine with external causes, and vice versa. They may occur separately or mix together, producing symptoms of maladaptation in the body and mind, which constitutes sickness. Today, air pollution, chemical drug damage, and any disease occurrence do not exceed these three causes.
Climate differs by region, so diseases differ. Climate differs by season (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter), so diseases differ. Diet and environment differ by region, so diseases differ. Even the same disease occurring in different people requires different treatment methods and medications.
Any disease has its cause, lesion, and process of onset to recovery. Where there is a cause, there is an effect. Why are there many identical, unknown-cause diseases nationwide and globally that困扰 and harm human health?
If everyone carefully reads this book and understands disease through TCM, there are no incurable diseases in the world. Nationwide and globally, any disease cannot escape these three causes. Today's various civilization diseases—Hypertension, Diabetes, Hepatitis B, Cancer, AIDS, and any other incurable malignant diseases—are symptoms resulting from improper treatment of the three causes and damage from therapeutic drugs. Understanding TCM meridian pathology and Six-Meridian transmission, any incurable malignant disease can be resolved, restoring health. Let us unveil the true meaning of science!
III. Why Do We Catch Colds? What is a Cold?
Sunlight, air, and clean water are the three elements sustaining our life. Changes in these three elements causing physiological maladaptation are one of the main causes of sickness.
Sunlight, air, and clean water (Water, Fire, Wind) produce temperature changes, manifesting as the rising, falling, expanding, contracting, and stabilizing of qi, known as the Five Elements.
The Confucius Family Sayings, Chapter 24, Five Emperors: Confucius said: "Formerly, Qiu heard from Lao Dan: 'Heaven has Five Elements: Water, Fire, Wood, Metal, Earth. They transform and nurture in turns to create all things. Their spirits are called the Five Emperors.' The Five Elements of Heaven—Dan (Red), Ling (Green/Cyan), Cang (Blue/Green), Su (White), Yuan (Black)—become Five Qi. Through the transformation of the Ten Heavenly Stems, they descend to earth becoming Cold, Summer Heat, Dryness, Dampness, Wind. The classics say: 'Heaven has Five Qi. Entering the nose, they store in the Five Zang, flourishing on the face and chin.' That is, Heaven's Five Qi (Wind, Summer Heat, Dampness, Dryness, Cold) enter from the nose. Wind Qi enters the Liver, Summer/Fire Qi enters the Heart, Damp Qi enters the Spleen, Dry Qi enters the Lungs, Cold Qi enters the Kidneys. Stored in the ordinary person's Five Zang, accumulating essence, flourishing on the face."
Suwen: The Five Zang reflect in the Five Orifices: eyes, ears, mouth, nose, tongue. The Five Elements load each other, waxing and waning, generating all things, operating ceaselessly, hence called "Xing" (Moving/Traveling). That is, whether the mutual coordination of the Five Zang (Liver, Heart, Spleen, Lung, Kidney) regarding the rising, falling, expanding, contracting, and stabilizing of qi, and their generating and overcoming changes, is harmonious, can be diagnosed through the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and tongue.
Chunqiu Fanlu says: "Qi of Heaven and Earth are arranged into Five Elements. The Five Elements are indeed 'Xing' (Moving)."
Suwen, Tian Yuan Ji Da Lun, Chapter 66: "Heaven has Five Elements, governing five positions, generating Cold, Summer Heat, Dampness, Dryness, Wind. Man has Five Zang transforming Five Qi, generating Joy, Anger, Worry, Pondering, Fear." From birth, humans breathe through the nose, and skin pores also breathe. The classics say: "Lung qi connects to the nose," and "Lung governs skin and hair." That is, lung respiration through nostrils and skin is the same.
The role of nostrils and skin in breathing air is the Five Zang operating Five Qi. That is, the roles of rising (Fire), falling (Water), contracting (Metal), expanding (Wood), and stabilizing (Earth) of human qi are produced by the regulation of Wind Qi entering the Liver, Dry Qi entering the Lungs, Damp Qi entering the Spleen, Cold Qi entering the Kidneys, and Summer/Fire Qi entering the Heart.
Inside the mother, the infant uses the umbilical cord to obtain nutrients and air from the mother. Respiration through the navel is called fetal breathing. The navel is the root of the fetus's life, hence Daoism calls it Tai Yuan (Fetal Origin), regulating Five Qi. This is prenatal respiration. At this time, lung alveoli are folded like parachutes, and lung respiration is still glandular and electrical.
After leaving the mother's body, cutting the umbilical cord allows air to enter through the nose. Lung alveoli expand like parachutes filled with air for respiration. This is postnatal respiration.
Postnatal respiration is the beginning of the Five Zang operating qi. The contracting action of Metal Qi allows the Lungs to bring air into the body. Using the expansion and contraction pressure of the Heart's beating (Heart and Kidney both belong to Shaoyin Meridian), air is delivered to the Dantian (navel). This connects postnatal respiration to the prenatal respiration of fetal breathing, facilitating air exchange among internal organs, external skin, and meridians, strengthening the postnatal respiratory function of the lungs. Fact: Breathing air does not just reach the lungs, but reaches the Dantian.
Everyone can observe carefully: For twelve hours in the morning, air enters the left nostril, circles the navel, and exits the right nostril. For twelve hours in the afternoon, air enters the right nostril, circles the navel, and exits the left nostril. Daoism calls this breathing "Regulating the Green Dragon, Subduing the White Tiger." When sitting quietly in meditation, we can see the qi current breathing on the left is blue-green—the Green Dragon (Liver Wood). The qi on the right is white—the White Tiger (Lung Metal). Their functions differ.
The infant's postnatal respiration connects to prenatal respiration only after the fontanelle on the top of the infant's head completely heals. The thymus is the exchange device for pre- and postnatal respiration. Only after the thymus completely disappears is the task of connecting pre- and postnatal respiration achieved. Therefore, the infant must wait for the fontanelle to heal before the navel stops the function of fetal breathing. Thus, cutting the umbilical cord has a huge impact on the infant's lifelong health (see section on Cutting the Umbilical Cord).
