Under the regulation of Mr. Sanqi, my daughter is becoming stronger day by day! I sincerely thank Mr. for his medical ethics and skills!

I only hope that most Chinese people can see Mr.'s posts and understand the harms of Western medicine through this website!

I am also a beneficiary of Mr. and the Caotang. I am a patient with Jing injury (disease caused by excessive depletion of essence). Due to accidentally developing bad habits, lacking firm stance, and being misled by Western medicine into believing there was no harm, I eventually depleted my essence completely. When I first started treatment, I took anti-inflammatory drugs and received IV drips, spending over 10,000 yuan, yet lab results remained unchanged. Fortunately, I turned back in time and stopped, avoiding further mistakes. Thinking about how much cold-natured medication I consumed, I don't know what damage it did to my body. Fortunately, I found folk TCM here, learned a lot, and my health is improving. I am now trying to persuade those around me to gain more knowledge like I did. Thanks again to Mr. Sanqi and all the selfless practitioners in the Caotang.

Topic pinned, please continue the discussion.

Dao Fa Zi Ran!
I am also a beneficiary of folk TCM. When I first studied TCM, I mistakenly entered the Wenbing School (a school focusing on warm-pathogen diseases), taking many Zhibai Dihuang Wan and herbs like Huanglian and Yinqiao. The result was temporary relief for one or two days, followed by worsening symptoms.
Thanks to learning here, I realized the errors of Western medicine and the Wenbing School. Reflecting carefully, my root cause was using too many antibiotics for pulmonary tuberculosis previously, leading to extreme Yang deficiency of Spleen and Kidney (extreme insufficiency of Spleen and Kidney Yang). Although the tuberculosis was cured, it caused greater problems: extreme deficiency-cold of Spleen and Kidney. This is the cost Western medicine claims to cure TB—destroying Spleen and Kidney Yang—which soon leads to other serious diseases. I hope Chinese people wake up and stop worshipping the world's biggest pseudoscience—Western medicine! I am a severe victim of so-called scientific Western treatment; I hope everyone takes me as a warning!!!
The radical cure for most severe diseases lies in moxibustion, Sini Tang (Four Reversal Decoction), Lizhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction), and other Yang-restoring medicines. They are inexpensive but can transform one's entire constitution. However, many "Ming Xie" reactions (discharge of pathogenic factors during healing) may occur. Everyone must distinguish between correct treatment and mis-treatment. Do not let Western medicine and the Wenbing School suppress symptoms and destroy your already scarce Yuan Qi (Original Qi), or it will inevitably lead to severe organ diseases!
Thanks to folk TCM, thanks to Teacher Sanqi and other fellow Daoists in folk TCM!

There are too many hateful aspects of abusing cold-natured medications; I don't have time to list them all. Let me mention one.
My wife often experienced burning hot hands and feet at night and insomnia. Checking books on Wenbing, she thought it was Yin deficiency. Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia) seemed useful, but symptoms recurred. She took it continuously for 3 years.
The actual cause should be internal cold, with Yang failing to enter Yin (Yang failing to enter the Yin aspect to maintain sleep and physiological balance).
Her Spleen and Stomach were thoroughly damaged. Even after treating with Jingfang (Classic Formulas), her Spleen and Stomach remain icy cold. It is too difficult to recover.

Since childhood, I rarely went to hospitals. For wind-cold common colds, my mother always made brown sugar ginger water, sometimes I took a few cold capsules. Until now, I catch colds infrequently.
I've seen colleagues who, with minor colds, get IV drips. Some take months to heal, others relapse repeatedly. Now I understand my mother's苦心 (hard work/care). Actually, the best doctor is oneself...

Meeting the Caotang two years ago was my luck. Due to infertility, I visited many hospitals and spent money, but hormone treatments only made me fatter. Under Teacher Sanqi's treatment, I became pregnant in less than half a year. Last spring, I finally had a cute baby.
The Caotang not only cured my illness but taught me much TCM knowledge. My daughter caught colds 3-4 times last year. I boiled ginger, tangerine peel, and brown sugar water for her, rubbed her back, palms, and soles with alcohol, and she recovered in 2-3 days.
A colleague's daughter got a cold at 20 days old and received IV drips. Now at 4 years old, her health is deteriorating; going 20 days without a cold is considered lucky.
If China doesn't stop antibiotic abuse, we will truly become the "Sick Man of East Asia"!

If you hadn't taken cold capsules, your body would be even better. Having medicine is worse than having none, alas!

Mr.'s benevolent heart is moving! Admired! Fortunate!
In nearly half a year, through Mr.'s diagnosis and treatment, my symptoms disappeared and health improved; symptoms that hospital doctors said would take ten to eight years to eliminate were gone in half a year here. Thus, I developed trust and dependence on Mr., wanting to take medicine for every minor ailment. Then Mr. reminded me: Don't always want to take medicine. If you can avoid it, do not take it.
A few days ago, news reported a young man hospitalized for long-term cough. Doctors used all anti-inflammatory drugs without success. Experts later analyzed that he ate at a company cafeteria, felt the food was unhygienic, and took anti-inflammatory drugs after every meal. Long-term use led to drug resistance, and he eventually died from the untreated cough.

Chounan
Accidentally became famous, a junior sister fell from the sky. The junior sister has good fate; no one says her psychology is dark or unfair. Blame myself for being too extreme, speaking arrogantly; the gun shoots the bird that sticks its head out.
Now three questions trouble me.
First, both cases involve Mingmen Fire not hiding and Yang not entering Yin. One case has no cold pathogen, only Yin deficiency, unable to control Yang, causing floating Yang to escape outward. The other has persistent cold pathogen in Yin, forcing Yang to escape outward. The former requires slow nourishment of Yin; the latter requires rapid attack with strong fire. Who can tell me how to know which situation I am in, and what are the similarities and differences in symptoms?
Second, both present with frequent urination. One is prostatitis, the other is diabetes. How to distinguish these two? Previously I suspected prostatitis, now I suspect diabetes.
Let me block your mouth first if you criticize me. TCM opposes Western instrument examinations. Nine years ago, I underwent N tests, spending nearly 700 yuan, resulting in finding disease where there was none. Being thin is because you are young; you will automatically gain weight after 30. Fortunately, Western doctors 9 years ago had conscience, saying I was healthy and didn't prescribe a pile of drugs. Now I don't want to check anymore.
Third, I think China's biggest current problem is overpopulation. At least half of Chinese people shouldn't have been born. If all doctors in all Chinese hospitals were as skilled as Mr. Sanqi, wouldn't China's population exceed 2 billion? A blessing in disguise. In the unseen, everything is destined. Who dares to say the establishment supports Western medicine just for money? Maybe it's an auxiliary method for family planning. If I were chairman, I wouldn't use such soft methods; I would launch massacres, surpass Genghis Khan and Dorgon.
Being extreme again, expecting 10 bricks thrown at me.
Liu Chun, descendant of Liu Hejian, savior of Zhu Di of Ming, cousin of Empress Xu, President of the Imperial Medical Bureau, Deputy Commander of the Jinyiwei, Comrade Liu Chun. The 731 Unit of TCM. His Nth-generation descendant Liu Hongzhang's "Casual Talks of a Family of Imperial Physicians: 30% Treatment, 70% Nourishment," has everyone read it? Share your thoughts. Their family treated cancer by house arrest. Knowing it couldn't be cured radically, they surrounded and suppressed it, suppressing you for a lifetime, nourishing you for a lifetime. Suspected of keeping the thief inside the door, also helpless like signing the 38th parallel agreement. But their non-boastful academic attitude is touching. What touched me most is that international Chinese herbal trade is $6 billion, with mainland China accounting for only $600 million. Because mainland Chinese herbs, besides fertilizers and pesticides, are artificially sprayed with water to increase weight. Quality is terrible. The Imperial Medical Family helplessly announced that since the 90s, they do not use mainland Chinese herbal materials. Tongrentang has no fake drugs because Hong Kong's Li Ka-shing is a major shareholder. A patent number for a Chinese patent medicine costs 5 million yuan plus revealing the secret formula. There are only 300+ true TCM masters left in China. Others are dead or moved to America. Foreigners' worship of TCM is just like our worship of Western medicine. Wives are always prettier when they belong to others. People everywhere are the same. Antibiotics, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy are criticized heavily abroad. Yesterday I saw a medical ad on TV using interventional therapy for prostate; foreigners stopped using it long ago.

I'll add another brick.
My health was okay as a child, and there weren't many advanced antibiotics available, so I wasn't devastated.
In elementary school, I had a fever. Tests suggested possible lymphatic tuberculosis. An old doctor at the unit hospital prescribed Chinese herbal decoction. This doctor actually specialized in cardiology, so he should count as a Western doctor. Looking back, previous doctors indeed had solid foundations. This counts as escaping another disaster.
For subsequent years, I had colds several times a year. I never took medicine, relying on my body to resist, even if temperature exceeded 39°C; my family worried. Now thinking about it, it's eerie, as if defying Western medicine in some unseen way (I hadn't understood TCM then), I just said, "I don't believe it can burn me to death!" My family couldn't handle it. But I recovered in a few days each time, coincidentally avoiding Western medicine.
After joining our website, I became familiar with various formulas. I looked forward to catching a cold to test the power of Jingfang (Classic Formulas). Finally, it happened: headache, confusion, no sweat, nasal congestion. I excitedly decocted Muxing Fuzi Tang (Ephedra, Asarum, and Aconite Decoction) in a 9:9:18 ratio, drank it in one go, covered up to induce sweating. Good soup, indeed domineering; my mouth went numb for an hour. I slept dazedly for half a sleep, woke up feeling like a new person, refreshed. Checked the watch: two hours! I was thoroughly convinced.
Talking so much seems unrelated to abusing cold-natured meds, so consider it personal experience.
1. Health is the normal state of all organisms unless intentionally destroyed;
2. When sick, especially chronic diseases, first don't think about taking medicine; find the cause of the illness. Once this unfavorable factor is eliminated, even without external help, the body will adjust quickly. Human intelligence and self-repair ability far exceed your imagination!

Support Mr.!
Strongly support Mr.!
I am a newcomer. Always knowing the harms of antibiotic abuse, but in my living area, local so-called famous doctors treat children's colds primarily with Western medicine and secondarily with TCM, and Western medicine must include antibiotics. Asked why, they answer, "It won't heal without it!!" Knowing the child's health will worsen, but what can be done? Now it's universal IV drip usage. Once in a hospital, you must get an IV. Not going to a hospital, folk so-called famous doctors also abuse antibiotics. For us commoners不懂 (not understanding) medical knowledge, we are trapped in deep water and scorching fire! Today, seeing scholars like Mr. who worry about the country and people, I deeply respect. I also hope to learn TCM knowledge in my spare time, starting from those around me, taking care of them. This counts as a start of support.

Post #42 always offers refreshing insights. Mr. Sanqi really didn't exaggerate: Chounan is a natural humor master. Seriously looking forward to your new topics.
Holding tightly the military orders,
Through continuous rain in the trenches.
Passing comrades in uniform all surprised,
Frequent flag signals and horse whinnies.
Intending to pair off but ending up alone,
Causing the woman's heart to chill.
Health hopes to form a union,
Joyful remaining years to spend.

Regret, regret, regret, thinking of it brings only regret.
My son's
Before coming to the Caotang, my son had become flabby, lazy, with dull eyes. He walked hunched, unwilling to stand straight. At meals, he only ate meat, no vegetables, crying many times when no big meat was on the table. Bad temper, unsociable, disliked playing with kids.
During Mr.'s treatment, one day after school, I joyfully found my son energetic, with a sparkle in his eyes I'd never seen before. I was so happy that day because for years after school, his eyes showed fatigue and listlessness. I remember hugging and kissing him hard at the door. I was so happy knowing my son was getting better day by day. More magically, his personality became more cheerful and sociable. This Spring Festival, back home, he played well with local kids, unlike previous years watching TV alone, refusing to leave when kids came. My son is now radiant every day.
My son's experience makes me feel those cold-natured drugs and chemical synthetic agents should be the chief culprits of various strange and difficult diseases, just like environmental pollution, perhaps even more harmful to human health.
