糖尿病是一种内脏代谢功能紊乱症。众所周知，糖是人体的能量来源，糖的味 道是甜的。从中医理论看，糖的代谢与脾胃有关，因为脾胃属土，土之味甘，胃主 纳食，脾司运化，中气斡旋，升清降浊，人体内部方能除旧布新，所以中医理论又 认为脾胃是人体的后天之本（先天之本在肾）。
又脾主统血，脾经与心经相接，所以脾也在一定程度上主管血液的运行（中华 不败所说心脏的动力不足以推动血液的运行是对的，其实推动血液运行的原动力在 肾，传导在肝脾，输送在心脏，治节在肺脏，血液运行机制与五脏都有关联）。脾 的动力一部分来自肝肾的上升之力，另一部分来自饮食转化的能量，脾的主要功能 就是把来自饮食的糖转化为能量输送到血液中，变成人体的动力，就像把煤烧成火 ，把水蒸成气，把气转成动力，这一点于西方的蒸气机原理很相似。现在由于脾的 转化功能出了问题，所以糖不能正常转化为能量，反而停留在血液中，成了血液的 负担，这时验血血糖就一定高了，西医所谓的糖尿病就发生了。
脾本来主升清气，也就是把来自肾肝的原动力传导到心脏，而现在由于上升之 力不足，不能推动饮食精微上升化为能量，反而使营养物质下陷于肾中，随小便排 出体外，这时化验尿糖也高了，西医所谓的糖尿病就名副其实了。但由于西医受理 论的局限，不能了解致使糖份不能正常转化为能量（相当于水化成气）的根本原因 ，所以也就无法从根本上治愈此病。好在他们发现了胰岛素，胰岛素本来是在脾运 化精微的过程中自动产生的，是脾的功能的物质形态，西医治疗糖尿病的唯一方法 就是向人体注射人工合成的胰岛素，胰岛素可以在短期之内降低血糖，缓解一些症 状。但是仍无法根治此病，因为胰岛素不能自生，所以需要不断注射，而长期的注 射不但会使脾的正常功能完全丧失，还会使肝肾功能遭到破坏，最终导致西医所谓 的并发症，手足坏烂，肾功能衰竭，双目失明等坏证，终归不治。所以西医说糖尿 病是终身疾病，是绝症，对西医来说确实是这样的。
前面说到了，造成此病的根本原因在脾的升清功能的破坏，而导致脾气不升的 原因还在于肾阳的不升（相当于内燃机的炉火太小了，不能将煤点燃），阳气主升 （热而轻故升），阴气主降（寒而重故降），这是显而易见的道理。肾气不升往往 是因为肾阳为寒气所伤，于理有据，于象可征，四诊相参，自有线索。所以我说早 期的糖尿病没有波及到中焦的只用金匮肾气丸就能治愈，因为肾气丸正是温补肾阳 的妙药（烧旺炉中之火）。
至于中晚期的坏证是经过不断误药积累起来的，已经损及了根本，但如果用药 得当如法，也并不是没有还原的可能，但至少需要三个月到半年的时间。如果一年 还无法恢复就很难彻底复原了。
而现在的中医在施今墨等名医的影响下对糖尿病普遍采用了滋阴降火的治疗原则， 使本来就受损的脾阳肾阳再遭克伐，这就好比雪上加霜，病上加病，又怎么能治好 病呢？所以对这些庸工来说，糖尿病也成了绝症，不但损害了中医的声誉，而且直 到现在还在用这种方法客观上残害着病人。唉！人为的认识不清导致的灾难也够厉 害的了！
对优降糖的作用原理的质疑
作用机制
胰腺内作用：刺激胰岛B细胞释放胰岛素（刺激是什么意思？胰岛B细胞为什么 不释放胰岛素？奴隶累得摔倒了，是你用鞭子就能让他恢复体力的吗？），胰岛B 细胞对促进分泌物质（如血糖等）的敏感性升高，而增加胰岛素分泌（什么叫敏感 性？累得摔倒了，你抽上一鞭子就增加了干活的敏感性？）。
胰腺外作用： 减少肝脏对胰岛素的清除功能，提高血中胰岛素浓度（肝脏为 什么清除胰岛素？是不是因为胰岛素本身就不干活？）。
提高胰岛素与受体的亲和力，促进血糖的摄取与利用（怎么促进？用鞭子提高 敏感性吗？）。
增加糖原合成，减少糖原分解（靠什么增加？鞭子？）。
降低血小板聚集与粘稠性，减少血管并发症的发生与发展（靠什么？鞭子？） 。
适应症
经严格饮食管理与认真运动治疗后血糖仍不能满意控制的II型糖尿病患者，尤 以非肥胖者为首选（为什么肥人不宜？是不是因为瘦人多火？知道什么是火吗？） 。
II型糖尿病患者使用胰岛素每日小于40u 者，可以更换使用磺脲类药物（都是 在损人元气，殊途同归，五十步百步之遥耳！）。
顺便问一句，知道什么是元气吗？
优降糖（格列苯脲，苯磺环已脲）Glibenclamide, Glyburide
特点：起效快，降糖作用强，是D860的200倍，持续时间长，因而容易出现低 血糖。 口服5~20分钟发挥降糖效果，2~6小时达到高峰，持续作用可达24小时，经 肝、肾排出各占50%。（为什么会出现低血糖？如果是把血糖转化成能量了，为什 么还要从肝肾排出呢？ 这就是我所要告诉你的“正确的治疗应该是帮助身体将血 糖转化为动力，即化糖，而不是将静态中观察似乎增多的血糖清除，采取所谓的降 糖疗法。”）
副作用：低血糖，尤以老年人更应注意。长期服用应注意有无肝、肾功能损害 者忌用。
[注]：消渴丸：为六味地黄汤+优降糖，每10粒消渴丸含2.5mg优降糖。 糖威 胶囊：每5粒含2.5mg优降糖 （你知道六味地黄汤是什么吗？你知道当炉火将息之 际倒上一盆凉水会是什么效果吗？为什么会损害肝肾功能？是把糖原转化为动力的 结果吗？还是过多地盗用了本来早已不足的肝气和肾气？就像用鞭子拼命抽打一个 已经奄奄一息的奴隶让他继续干活。）
正确的做法是：当奴隶因即将筋疲力尽而摔倒时，应该让他休息，通过饮食补 充能量，使其慢慢恢复，然后再参加劳动。而不是用鞭子让他爬起来，把他所剩无 几的那点力量都用来干活。西药的作用正面点说相当于鞭子，本质地说，与榨汁机 作用差不多，不榨干肝肾的阳气誓不罢休，和地主资本家贪婪残酷的本性相近。
化糖与降糖的区别
在化糖过程中，血糖不会很快下降，因为从饮食中摄入的糖分转化为糖原最终 变成动力的过程已经延缓了，转化的过程变慢，如果摄入没有减少，血糖停留时间 延长（同时自然会血糖增高）是很正常的。只要能够不断转化，血糖偏高不会造成 太大的负面影响，不会造成酸中毒。只要虚弱无力的症状减轻，就说明血糖已经在 转化为动力。而用降糖药使血糖指标正常却感觉虚弱无力，说明血糖没有转化为动 力就被从肝肾排出了。
这两种结果的性质是截然不同的，一种是真虚弱，一种是假健康。相对来说， 真虚弱比假健康还要健康的多。虚弱和衰老一样是正常的代谢现象，而妄图通过涂 脂抹粉整容化妆之类行为抵制衰老是不可能的，只能让人看上去古怪异常不伦不类 。西药的所谓治疗效果大多是这种涂脂抹粉的性质，并没有什么真的治疗作用，就 像通过麻醉神经来止痛一样，不过是掩盖真相而已。
按道理说，想让老年人的血糖指标与年轻人一样是不现实的。这与想让老年人 与青年有着同样的生育能力和面貌一样，是根本不可能的。糖尿病的血糖标准本身 就是一个不符合实际也不符合科学的认识。
动态过程中不断变化的平均值如果离开了动态的背景就变得毫无意义，就像用 橘黄色的玻璃模拟燃烧的火苗一样，即使尺度很接近本质上也不是一种东西。血糖 的高低也是同样的道理，重要的是动态过程是否正常进行，而不是静态尺度是否相 似。就像照片虽然能记录生活，但并不是生活本身，二者不可混淆。
关于胰岛素的性质问题
胰岛素当为促使血糖转化为能量之功能的物质形态。问题的关键在于胰岛素在 完成这种转化工作的过程中是独立工作的，还是与其他能量同时工作的？如果是独 立工作的，只要能充分保障胰岛素的外源供给就可以了。但如果胰岛素在工作的同 时必须借助身体另一种能量的的参与才能发挥作用，那么另一种能量的状态与能力 则直接与血糖转化过程相关。如果这种能量没有能力参与这种转化工作了，则胰岛 素不但不能完成血糖转化工作，反而会成为血液的新负担。如果胰岛素本来就是这 种能量的物质形态，也就是说胰岛素的产生就是这种能量运化过程的产物。如果不 能从根本上解决能量不足的问题，胰岛素则不能自生。而外源补给的胰岛素中并没 有这种能量，外来的胰岛素要想完成血糖转化工作，必然需要身体提供另一种能量 来促使这个工作的完成。现在的问题是，本来就是因为能量不足造成的胰岛素不能 产生，而外源胰岛素又要使本来不足的能量更加消耗，这个更加消耗不足的能量最 终由谁来提供呢？
举一个例子来说明：
房间需要热量，要烧炉子。现在有煤，即能源，但煤是湿的，无法点燃。这就 需要引子——易燃的纸张或者干柴。只有这些还不够，还要有火种。用火把引子点 燃，把火烧到足够旺，然后把煤加入，煤在火势的烘烤下逐渐烘干，随后慢慢点燃 ，随后再加入新的煤。这样炉火就燃烧起来了，能源成功地转化成了能量。于是， 房间温暖了。
在这个过程中，煤相当于血糖，引子相当于胰岛素，火种相当于能量。必须有 火种引子才能起到将煤燃烧的作用，如果没有火种，引子和煤都不能燃烧而转化成 能量。在这个过程中，火种的作用是第一位的。如果引子和煤都很充足，火种过于 微弱，连引子都不能点燃，则后面的燃烧工作都无法顺利进行。
现在的问题是，如果根本原因在于火种出了问题，增加引子或减少煤也即补充 胰岛素或者降糖，能够解决问题吗？
无论什么能源都需要点燃才能转化为能量，人体的能源也是同样的道理。没有 火，只有煤或汽油，内燃机和发动机都不能工作，这是个很简单的道理。西医理论 一贯把人当成机器处理，难道机器的运转不需要动力吗？难道能源本身不需要转化 就可以成为动力吗？
白血病辨
白血病是西医的病名，西医目前还自称不清楚发病的原因。但我认为此病实际 上西医误治的结果。
一般来说，此病发病初期都有普通的感冒症状，随着西医抗菌素的持续注射， 病情反而不断加重，长期低烧不退。这时医生往往怀疑是免疫系统出了问题，再经 过检查，结果白细胞大量增生，幼稚细胞出现，粒细胞变异。于是，西医确诊为白 血病。在经过多次的放化疗之后，病人的正气不断削弱，最后因正气极度衰竭死亡 。
但从中医的理论分析，病人先天元气虚弱，坎阳不满，外感风寒之后，经太阳 少阴两感继而深入骨髓，导致水中阴寒内凝，温气外泄。于是水寒不能生木，表现 为骨髓的造血机能不能正常运转，导致肝心脾等脏器藏血统血主血机能丧失。最后 ，血不循经溢出血管之外，终因内脏出血导致死亡。如果不经过西医的消炎药不断 损伤正气，将寒气层层引向深入，断不致很快死亡。
有一个活生生的例子可以说明这个问题：2000年，一个哈尔滨的青年被医院确 诊为白血病后，毅然拒绝治疗，决定用最后的生命骑车壮游祖国河山，当他在到达 深圳沿路返回沈阳，再到医院检查时，奇迹出现了，他的血象恢复了正常。这个事 实说明，在未经误治的情况下，所谓的不治之症——白血病是可以在自身正气的调 节下恢复正常的。
而另一方面，那些死亡的患者无一不是在经过及时的联合化疗治疗后死亡的。 即使中医也往往迷惑于表面发热的假象，使用大量所谓清热凉血药，戕伐正气，与 西医治疗殊途同归。
若辩证不误，白血病绝非不治之症。治法不外固本扶元，因势利导，使深入之寒邪 复从里达表，散于身外，则病自已矣。

白细胞为什么会“异常”增生
Diabetes mellitus is a disorder of visceral metabolic function. As is well known, sugar is the energy source of the human body, and its taste is sweet. From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory, the metabolism of sugar is related to the Spleen and Stomach because the Spleen and Stomach belong to Earth, and the taste of Earth is sweet. The Stomach governs the reception of food, while the Spleen governs transportation and transformation. The Middle Qi (Middle Jiao Qi) rotates, ascending the clear and descending the turbid, allowing the internal environment of the body to eliminate the old and generate the new. Therefore, TCM theory considers the Spleen and Stomach as the "Postnatal Root" (the root acquired after birth; the Prenatal Root lies in the Kidney).
Furthermore, the Spleen governs the control of blood. Since the Spleen Meridian connects with the Heart Meridian, the Spleen also manages the circulation of blood to a certain extent (Zhonghua Bubai's statement that the heart's power is insufficient to drive blood circulation is correct; actually, the primary driving force for blood circulation lies in the Kidney, transmission occurs in the Liver and Spleen, delivery is handled by the Heart, and regulation is managed by the Lung. The mechanism of blood circulation is associated with all five Zang organs). The power of the Spleen comes partly from the ascending force of the Liver and Kidney, and partly from the energy transformed from diet. The main function of the Spleen is to convert sugar from food into energy and transport it into the blood to become the body's motive force, similar to burning coal into fire, evaporating water into steam, and converting steam into power; this principle is quite similar to that of Western steam engines. Now, due to dysfunction in the Spleen's transformation ability, sugar cannot be normally converted into energy but instead remains in the blood, becoming a burden to the blood. At this time, blood tests will show high blood glucose levels, and what Western medicine calls diabetes mellitus occurs.
The Spleen originally governs the ascending of clear Qi, which means transmitting the original motive force from the Kidney and Liver to the Heart. However, now due to insufficient ascending force, it cannot push the essence of food and drink upward to transform into energy. Instead, nutrients sink into the Kidney and are excreted from the body via urine. At this point, urine tests will also show high urine sugar levels, and what Western medicine calls diabetes mellitus becomes名副其实 (literally: lives up to its name). However, limited by their theoretical framework, Western medicine cannot understand the root cause that prevents sugar from being normally converted into energy (equivalent to water turning into vapor), and thus cannot cure this disease fundamentally. Fortunately, they discovered insulin. Insulin is naturally produced during the Spleen's process of transporting and transforming essences; it is the material form of the Spleen's function. The only method Western medicine uses to treat diabetes is injecting synthetic insulin into the human body. Insulin can lower blood glucose and alleviate some symptoms in the short term. However, it still cannot cure the disease fundamentally because insulin cannot be self-generated, requiring continuous injections. Long-term injection not only causes the complete loss of normal Spleen function but also damages Liver and Kidney functions, ultimately leading to complications described by Western medicine such as gangrene of hands and feet, renal failure, blindness, and other severe syndromes, which remain incurable. Therefore, when Western medicine says diabetes is a lifelong disease and a terminal illness, it is indeed so from their perspective.
As mentioned earlier, the root cause of this disease lies in the destruction of the Spleen's function of ascending clear Qi. The reason why Spleen Qi fails to ascend is also due to the failure of Kidney Yang to ascend (equivalent to the furnace fire of an internal combustion engine being too small to ignite coal). Yang Qi governs ascending (because heat is light, it ascends), and Yin Qi governs descending (because cold is heavy, it descends); this is an obvious principle. The failure of Kidney Qi to ascend is often because Kidney Yang is injured by cold pathogens. This has theoretical basis and observable signs; combining four diagnostic methods will reveal clues. Therefore, I say that early-stage diabetes that has not affected the Middle Jiao can be cured using Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan (Golden Cabinet Kidney Qi Pill), because Shen Qi Pill is an excellent medicine for warming and tonifying Kidney Yang (igniting the fire in the furnace).
As for the severe syndromes in mid-to-late stages, they are accumulated through continuous mismedication and have already damaged the root. However, if medication is appropriate and follows the correct principles, restoration is possible, though it would take at least three to six months. If recovery is not achieved within a year, thorough restoration becomes difficult.
Under the influence of famous doctors like Shi Jinmo, current TCM practitioners generally adopt the treatment principle of nourishing Yin and descending Fire for diabetes. This further attacks the already damaged Spleen Yang and Kidney Yang, akin to adding frost to snow or compounding illness upon illness. How can such a disease be cured? Thus, for these incompetent practitioners, diabetes becomes a terminal illness, damaging the reputation of TCM and objectively harming patients even today. Alas! The disaster caused by human misunderstanding is severe enough!
Questioning the Mechanism of Action of Glibenclamide
Mechanism of Action
Pancreatic Internal Effect: Stimulates pancreatic B cells to release insulin (What does "stimulate" mean? Why don't pancreatic B cells release insulin? If a slave collapses from exhaustion, can you restore his strength merely by whipping him?). Pancreatic B cells increase sensitivity to secretagogues (such as blood glucose), thereby increasing insulin secretion (What is sensitivity? If a collapsed worker is whipped, does that increase his sensitivity to work?).
Pancreatic External Effect: Reduces the liver's clearance function of insulin, increasing blood insulin concentration (Why does the liver clear insulin? Is it because insulin itself doesn't work?).
Increases the affinity of insulin for receptors, promoting glucose uptake and utilization (How is this promoted? By whipping to increase sensitivity?).
Increases glycogen synthesis and reduces glycogen breakdown (By what means? A whip?).
Reduces platelet aggregation and viscosity, reducing the occurrence and development of vascular complications (By what means? A whip?).
Indications
Type II diabetic patients whose blood glucose cannot be satisfactorily controlled despite strict dietary management and serious exercise therapy, especially non-obese individuals (Why are obese people not suitable? Is it because thin people have more "Fire"? Do you know what "Fire" is?).
Type II diabetic patients using less than 40 units of insulin daily can switch to sulfonylurea drugs (All damage the Yuan Qi (Original Qi); different paths lead to the same destination, differing only by fifty paces!).
By the way, do you know what Yuan Qi is?
Glibenclamide (Glyburide)
Characteristics: Fast onset, strong hypoglycemic effect, 200 times that of D860, long duration, hence prone to causing hypoglycemia. Oral administration takes effect within 5-20 minutes, peaks in 2-6 hours, and lasts up to 24 hours. Excretion is 50% via the liver and 50% via the kidney. (Why does hypoglycemia occur? If blood glucose is converted into energy, why is it still excreted via the liver and kidney? This is what I want to tell you: "Correct treatment should help the body convert blood glucose into motive force, i.e., metabolizing sugar, rather than clearing seemingly increased static blood glucose through so-called hypoglycemic therapy.")
Side Effects: Hypoglycemia, especially attention needed in the elderly. Long-term use requires caution in patients with liver or kidney dysfunction.
[Note]: Xiaoke Wan consists of Liu Wei Di Huang Tang plus Glibenclamide; each 10 pills contain 2.5mg of Glibenclamide. Tangwei Capsules: Each 5 capsules contain 2.5mg of Glibenclamide (Do you know what Liu Wei Di Huang Tang is? Do you know what happens when you pour a basin of cold water on a dying fire? Why does it damage liver and kidney function? Is it the result of converting glycogen into energy? Or is it excessively stealing the already insufficient Liver Qi and Kidney Qi? It is like whipping a dying slave relentlessly to keep him working.)
The correct approach is: When a slave is about to collapse from exhaustion, he should be allowed to rest, replenish energy through diet, recover slowly, and then resume labor. Not whipping him to get up and using his remaining meager strength for work. The positive aspect of Western medicine's action is equivalent to a whip; essentially, it is similar to a juicer, vowing not to stop until the Yang Qi of the Liver and Kidney is squeezed dry, resembling the greedy and cruel nature of landlords and capitalists.
Difference Between Metabolizing Sugar and Lowering Blood Glucose
During the process of metabolizing sugar, blood glucose will not drop rapidly because the process of converting ingested sugar into glycogen and finally into motive force has been delayed. The conversion process slows down; if intake is not reduced, prolonged retention of blood glucose (and consequently higher blood glucose levels) is normal. As long as continuous conversion occurs, slightly elevated blood glucose will not cause significant negative effects or acidosis. If symptoms of weakness and fatigue diminish, it indicates that blood glucose is being converted into motive force. Conversely, if hypoglycemic drugs normalize blood glucose indicators but the patient feels weak and fatigued, it shows that blood glucose was excreted via the Liver and Kidney without being converted into motive force.
The nature of these two results is completely different: one is true weakness, the other is false health. Relatively speaking, true weakness is healthier than false health. Weakness and aging are normal metabolic phenomena. Attempting to resist aging through beautification or cosmetic surgery is impossible and only makes one look bizarre and unnatural. The so-called therapeutic effects of Western medicines are mostly of this superficial nature, lacking real therapeutic value, much like anesthetizing nerves to relieve pain—it merely covers up the truth.
Ideally, expecting elderly people's blood glucose levels to match those of young people is unrealistic. Just as it is impossible to expect elderly people to have the same reproductive capacity and appearance as youths, the blood glucose standards for diabetes itself are an unrealistic and unscientific concept.
An average value constantly changing in a dynamic process loses all meaning if detached from its dynamic background, just like using orange glass to simulate burning flames; even if the scale is close, essentially they are not the same thing. The same applies to blood glucose levels; what matters is whether the dynamic process proceeds normally, not whether static scales are similar. Like photographs recording life, they are not life itself; the two should not be confused.
On the Nature of Insulin
Insulin should be considered the material form of the function that promotes the conversion of blood glucose into energy. The key issue is whether insulin works independently during this conversion process or simultaneously with other energies. If it works independently, ensuring sufficient exogenous supply of insulin would suffice. But if insulin must rely on another energy of the body to function, then the state and capacity of this other energy are directly related to the blood glucose conversion process. If this energy lacks the capacity to participate in this conversion, insulin will not only fail to complete the task but also become a new burden to the blood. If insulin is inherently the material form of this energy—meaning its production is a product of this energy's transportation and transformation process—then without fundamentally solving the problem of energy deficiency, insulin cannot be self-generated. Exogenously supplied insulin lacks this energy. For exogenous insulin to complete the blood glucose conversion task, the body must provide another energy to facilitate this work. The current problem is that insulin production failed due to energy deficiency, yet exogenous insulin consumes this already deficient energy further. Who will ultimately provide this increasingly depleted energy?
To illustrate with an example:
A room needs heat, so a stove is lit. There is coal (energy), but it is wet and cannot be ignited. A tinder—flammable paper or dry wood—is needed. This is not enough; a spark is required. Using a torch to ignite the tinder, building the fire sufficiently strong, then adding coal. The coal dries gradually under the heat of the fire, then slowly ignites, followed by adding more coal. Thus, the furnace burns, successfully converting energy into heat, and the room becomes warm.
In this process, coal corresponds to blood glucose, tinder corresponds to insulin, and the spark corresponds to energy. Only with a spark can the tinder burn the coal. Without a spark, neither tinder nor coal can burn and convert into energy. In this process, the role of the spark is primary. If there is abundant tinder and coal but the spark is too weak to ignite the tinder, subsequent combustion cannot proceed smoothly.
The current question is: If the root cause lies in the failure of the spark, can adding tinder (supplementing insulin) or reducing coal (lowering blood glucose) solve the problem?
Regardless of the energy source, ignition is required to convert it into usable energy. The same applies to human energy. Without fire, only coal or gasoline exists, and internal combustion engines cannot work; this is a simple principle. Western medical theory consistently treats humans as machines. Does machine operation not require power? Does energy itself not need conversion to become motive force?
Differentiation of Leukemia
Leukemia is a Western medical diagnosis, and Western medicine currently claims ignorance of its etiology. However, I believe this disease is actually the result of Western medical mismanagement.
Generally, in the early stages of this disease, common cold symptoms appear. With continuous injection of Western antibiotics, the condition worsens, accompanied by persistent low-grade fever. Doctors often suspect immune system dysfunction. Further examination reveals massive proliferation of white blood cells, appearance of immature cells, and granulocyte variation. Thus, Western medicine diagnoses leukemia. After multiple rounds of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the patient's Zheng Qi (Upright Qi) continuously weakens, eventually leading to death due to extreme depletion of Zheng Qi.
However, analyzing from TCM theory, the patient has congenital Yuan Qi deficiency and insufficient Kan Yang (Kidney Yang). After contracting Wind-Cold, the pathogen penetrates deeply into the bone marrow through simultaneous involvement of the Taiyang and Shaoyin channels. This leads to internal coagulation of Yin-Cold in Water and leakage of Warm Qi. Consequently, Cold Water fails to generate Wood, manifesting as malfunction of hematopoietic mechanisms in the bone marrow. This results in the loss of storage, control, and governance of blood functions in organs such as the Liver, Heart, and Spleen. Finally, blood flows outside the vessels due to failing to follow its proper pathways, leading to death from internal organ hemorrhage. Without the continuous damage to Zheng Qi by Western anti-inflammatory drugs, which draw the Cold pathogen deeper layer by layer, rapid death would not occur.
A vivid example illustrates this: In 2000, a young man from Harbin was diagnosed with leukemia. He resolutely refused treatment, deciding to cycle across China with his remaining life. Upon returning to Shenyang via Shenzhen and undergoing hospital checks again, a miracle occurred: his blood indices returned to normal. This fact demonstrates that, without mismanagement, so-called incurable diseases like leukemia can recover under the regulation of one's own Zheng Qi.
On the other hand, deceased patients all died after timely combined chemotherapy. Even TCM practitioners are often misled by the apparent fever, using large amounts of so-called Heat-clearing and Blood-cooling herbs, damaging Zheng Qi, achieving the same result as Western medicine through different paths.
If differentiation is accurate, leukemia is certainly not an incurable disease. Treatment involves consolidating the root and supporting Yuan Qi, guiding according to the trend, allowing deep-seated Cold pathogens to move from interior to exterior and dissipate externally, thus curing the disease spontaneously.
