Chapter 13 (12)

Diseases on the "liver" are reflected in the eyes, Diseases in the "heart" are reflected on the tongue, The sickness on the "spleen" is reflected in the mouth, The disease on the "lung" is reflected on the nose, Diseases on the "kidney" are reflected in the ears. This is a general introduction, and I will analyze the specific situations one by one in the next few chapters.Now let’s talk about the diseases caused by poor liver, the most important ones are as follows: First, high blood pressure.Hypertension is very "fashionable" now, and the number of people suffering from this disease is increasing year by year.Western medicine calls it high blood pressure, and Chinese medicine calls it heart-kidney disharmony.Why not?It's just too angry.

Second, diabetes.Diabetes is not called diabetes in Chinese medicine, it is called "hunger and thirst" or "triple burner blockage", and triple burner is a unique viscera in Chinese medicine.It refers to the blockage of the upper, middle, and lower burners, which will cause abnormal blood sugar. Third, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.I gave you an example just now. You see, our newspapers and radio stations in spring and autumn every year promote the prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.Let’s talk about spring first, which one has the most vigorous metabolism in spring?It is the liver, which supplies blood to the heart; if the liver is not good, is the heart and brain blood vessels ischemia?So every spring, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will break out. In fact, the disease is in the liver.

Fourth, insomnia.Western medicine calls it neurasthenia. In Chinese medicine, the liver governs tendons, and Western medicine calls it nerves.The liver metabolizes at night, from 1:00 to 3:00 in the morning, and the gallbladder metabolizes from 23:00 to 1:00.As the saying goes, "the liver and the gallbladder take care of each other", if the liver and gallbladder are not good, people are prone to insomnia, or poor sleep and so on. Fifth, respiratory diseases.As we all know, the most common symptoms of respiratory diseases are lung symptoms. The symptoms are on the lungs. Where is the disease?On the liver, Chinese medicine calls it "liver fire invading the lungs".Diseases of the respiratory system such as asthma, rhinitis, pneumonia, etc. are all caused by liver problems.

Sixth, tumors.We all know that tumors are called "qi stagnation and blood stasis" in Chinese medicine. Qi refers to kidney qi, and the liver stores blood.Therefore, the imbalance of qi and blood is easy to get tumors, and it has a considerable relationship with the liver. Seventh, gynecological diseases.In traditional Chinese medicine for gynecological diseases, it is called "three energizers blocked".To put it more vividly, we call it "up and down".The lower energizer is the liver and kidney, the liver and kidney are from the same source, the kidney is qi, and the liver is blood; qi and blood are blocked, so lesbians are prone to gynecological diseases.

Eighth, orthopedic disease.Everywhere in a person lives by blood, and if the blood is bad, everything is bad, including the bones.If we don't have enough blood, there will be problems with our bones. Ninth, digestive system diseases.closely related to the liver.Traditional Chinese medicine classifies digestive system diseases as "blocking the middle burner".What is the center focus?It is the spleen and stomach.We all know that the liver and spleen are metabolic organs.If the liver is not good, the spleen will not be good either.Therefore, diseases of the digestive system are inseparable from the liver.

Tenth, nervous system diseases.Just now we introduced that the liver governs tendons, which is called nerves in Western medicine.In Chinese medicine, the nervous system can be attributed to the liver.For example, headaches, especially nervous headaches, are caused by poor liver metabolism.Pain is called "nervous spasm or vasospasm" in Western medicine.Think about it, why did it convulse?Is it thermal expansion and cold contraction?What expands, what shrinks?Is it a matter of blood?Where did the blood come from?liver!So it is related to the liver again. Eleventh, eye disease.All eye diseases (excluding eye trauma) are inseparable from the liver. Traditional Chinese medicine says that "the liver opens up to the eyes". Common diseases such as myopia and cataracts are all caused by a bad liver.

Twelfth, immune system diseases.Diseases such as lupus erythematosus, rheumatism, and rheumatoid also come from the liver.From the point of view of Chinese medicine, your blood is "cold and hot", and when it is blocked, you get these sores, ringworm, dermatitis, and rheumatism.What's closed?It is the cold outside that blocks the heat inside!The heat inside is produced by the blood, and the blood comes out of the liver, so immune system diseases are also related to the liver. Then talk about people's misunderstandings about liver disease.There are symptoms only when there is a disease. Now we are all focused on the symptoms. No one cares about the disease. We must try to see the essence through the phenomenon.To give an example, high blood pressure and diabetes, don't they all promote prescribing the right medicine?Take antihypertensive drugs, hypoglycemic drugs, and even take drugs for life!But why does it have high blood pressure and diabetes?No one is going to discuss this issue, it's just that what disease is treated, no one cares about the disease.Chinese medicine believes that when a person has symptoms, it means that there is a problem with the relationship between each viscera, and the function of one or several viscera has problems, which causes these symptoms to appear.So how does Chinese medicine treat diseases?It is to adjust the functions of various viscera and cure the disease so that this symptom can be eliminated.Chinese medicine talks about "tune", where is it tuned?The five internal organs are sick, so Chinese medicine achieves the purpose of curing diseases by "adjusting the five internal organs".

Another example is the problem of blood lipids. The standard of blood lipids is generally a unified standard, that is, 0.7-1.7.This standard has been used to measure whether blood lipids are normal from childhood to old age.Can you think about this question? Is it inaccurate to use this standard for a 20-year-old and an 80-year-old?Because the metabolism of young people is strong, and the metabolism of the elderly is definitely not as good as that of young people as their organs age.But now, regardless of the age of people, we all calculate according to a standard, which often easily causes great hidden dangers.

There are also genetic problems of some diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure.Are there any genetic diseases?I admit that there are, but not all diseases should be genetic.Take, for example, high blood pressure.For example, you didn’t get it before the age of 30, but you got it after the age of 30. Then I ask you, is this called inheritance? What is heredity?Diseases acquired from the mother's womb are called heredity.However, many of these diseases are now attributed to genetics clinically, which has caused a lot of misunderstandings about this disease among ordinary people.What is the real reason?For example, 3 out of 5 people in this family have a disease, and the cause is attributed to genetics. Some clinicians even think that as long as your parents have this disease, you have this disease, which is called genetics. A bigger misunderstanding!

To explain the cause of the illness in this way will often cover up the real cause of the person's illness. I think it is at least a lack of understanding, or even an irresponsible behavior.Why do some people often have many members of the family get a disease?From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine diet therapy, the answer is actually very simple. "One family eats one meal", and there must be a disease.Therefore, most of the current diseases are called "unhealthy lifestyle diseases".The same bad lifestyle will definitely lead to the same disease. What I have said above, I hope everyone can go back and think about it seriously, and must reverse the misunderstandings about diseases in the past.Isn't there a word now? "A correct idea can help patients get healthier than expensive medical expenses and dangerous operations."Therefore, if the concept does not change, the disease will not be cured.

Qi and blood uneven source of all diseases Chinese medicine talks about "Qi and blood", where is Qi and blood?Qi promotes blood circulation in the meridians.Do you know?Our blood vessels are composed of arteries, veins, and capillaries, which is called "vascular system" in Western medicine. It doesn't matter whether you are tall or short, a line is 100,000 kilometers long, which is equivalent to circling the earth twice and a half.What are blood vessels like?It's like our roads and railways.Don't ordinary people have a saying, "If you want to get rich, build roads first!" We people also have the same concept. If we want to be healthy, we must work hard to keep blood vessels unblocked.If your blood vessels are blocked somewhere, is something wrong?The blocked places are different, and the clinical names are also different.For example, it is called "tumor" if it is blocked in an organ, "cyst" if it is blocked in the mucous membrane, "fibroid" if it is blocked in the uterus, "nodule" if it is blocked in the thyroid gland, and "hyperplasia" if it is blocked in the breast. It is called "pimples" on the skin... No matter where it is blocked, according to Chinese medicine, it is Qi stagnation and blood stasis.Therefore, poor circulation of qi and blood is the root of all diseases.
