男，49岁，癌症第4期

患者两年前患上肾癌，再扩散到肺，脑和骨头。经过化疗，西药治疗得到控制。近日来看诊是因为左边小腿疼痛剧烈。夜间经常抽筋。四肢不温。2021年10月小腿做活检，受创部位迟迟没有愈合。仍见深红色伤口并大面积红色斑。据了解患者服用的抗癌药有强烈的抑制作用，可能照成皮肤的修复功能低下。

患者经过不到两周4次的中医针灸和服用中药治疗后便有明显的改善。创伤部位明显改善。夜间不再抽筋，小腿行走时疼痛明显改善。患者自觉以前冰冷的四肢末端现在已温暖得多。身体经常不出汗的情况也改善了。

癌症病友在与癌症战斗时往往要忍受极大的痛苦。面对此起彼落的后遗症与副作用常常束手无策。中医往往可以在这方面给于适当的治疗，将患者的痛苦减至最低。中长期的调理往往能保住患者的元气，增强对抗癌症的条件的同时也提升了患者的生活素质。

Male, 49 years old, stage 4 cancer

The patient developed kidney cancer two years ago, which had spread to the lungs, brain and bones. After chemotherapy and western medication treatment his condition is controlled. Recently, he came to see me because of severe pain in the left calf and frequent cramps at night. Both his palms and feet were cold. In October 2021, a biopsy of the calf was performed, and the injured skin tissue did not heal for a long time. A reddish wound and a large area of ​​erythema is still seen. It is understood that the anticancer drugs taken by the patient have a strong inhibitory effect, which may indicate that the repair function of the skin is low.

The patient experienced significant improvement in less than two weeks after 4 treatments with TCM acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. The wound site was significantly improved. No more cramps at night and very much relief of the pain in the calf. The patient feels that the palm and feet that were previously cold are now much warmer. The fact that the body often does not perspire has also improved.

Cancer patients often endure great pain when battling cancer. Faced with one after another, the sequelae and side effects are often helpless.Traditional Chinese medicine can often give appropriate treatment in this regard to minimize the suffering of patients. Medium to long-term treatments can often preserve the vitality of patients, enhance the conditions for fighting cancer, and improve the quality of life.

You can clearly see the tongue surface is white and greasy, most of the tongue surface is covered by thick, greasy tongue coating, and the coating can also be seen protruding from the edge. White greasy coating means dampness in the body. The small red dots on both sides of the tongue are called thorns. The two sides of the tongue represent the liver and gallbladder. The thorns indicate that there is heat in the liver and gallbladder. The tip of the tongue is reddish, indicating heart and lung heat, which result in the patient often sleeps poorly.

After a week of treatment, the tongue integrity has improved significantly. The protruding tongue coating has disappeared. The redness of the tongue surface, especially the tip of the tongue, is more obvious due to the reduction of the tongue coating.

Patient's body pain and sleep improves after treatment with herbs and acupuncture. However mid to long-term treatment is still necessary to allow full recovery.

今天跟大家谈谈保健品。众所周知，现在保健品已经充斥了整个市场，几乎人人家里都会有一两瓶，甚至十几瓶不同种类与品牌的保健品。

保健品给于大众最大的错觉是认为它不是药物，因此没有副作用，人人都可食用。其实保健品只是在药效的申明与注册上和药物在归纳上有些不同罢了。也就是说它是会对人体直接或间接产生一定的治疗效果与副作用。

服用保健品可能带来的危害是大多数人并不知道服用的成分，药效，禁忌与副作用。比方说过量维生素A会造成恶心呕吐; 过量的镁摄取会照常腹泻，肌肉无力感，泌尿系统疾病等。对肾病患者或肾脏功能不全者尤其严重。

简单来说保健品并不适合每个人。更何况多数贩卖保健品的售货员和服用保健品的大众只是对医学有很片面的认识。疾病发生时应该给于的是针对性的治疗。只有拥有医学知识与经验的医师才能给于患者最适当的治疗。

如果本末倒置，注重保健品多于正确的医学治疗将会对整体大众的生理心里健康有着长远的不良影响。

Let’s talk about health care products with you today. As we all know, health products have flooded the entire market. Almost everyone will have one or two bottles, or even more than a dozen bottles of different types and brands of health products.

The biggest illusion that health products give the public is that they are not medicines, so they have no side effects and can be eaten by everyone. In fact, health care products are only different in the declaration and registration of the efficacy of the drug from the generalization of the drug. In other words, it will directly or indirectly produce certain treatments and side effects on the human body.

Possible harm from taking health care products is that most people do not know the ingredients, effects, contraindications and side effects of taking them. For example, excessive vitamin A can cause nausea and vomiting; excessive magnesium intake can cause diarrhea, muscle weakness, and urinary system diseases. It is especially serious for patients with kidney disease or renal insufficiency.

Simply put, health products are not suitable for everyone. What's more, most salespersons who sell health products and the public who take health products only have one-sided understanding of medicine. When a disease occurs, it should be given targeted treatment. Only doctors with medical knowledge and experience can give patients the most appropriate treatment.

If you turn the cart before the horse, paying more attention to health care products than taking the correct medical treatment, this will result in a long-term adverse effect on the overall physical and mental health of the general public.

疫情当前，中医看免疫力

中医认为人体呼吸进入肺脏中的氧气与脾胃(脾气，胃气)化生的水谷精微混合后合成人体的宗气。这宗气正是与形成人体保卫功能的卫气息息相关，也就是西医所说的免疫力。所以简单来说，要加强人体免疫力就必须增强肺脏与脾胃的功能。以下是我的建议，个人可以按自己的客观条件与喜好适当的做调整。

1 运动如慢跑，快步走，游泳等来增加肺活量，加强肺功能。

2 长期过量食用辛辣，冰凉饮食容易伤脾胃之气。米汤能很好的滋养胃气。

3 尽量一周至少有4-5天在夜间11点之前休息。这样人体的细胞代谢，五脏六腑的排毒与修复功能可以达到一个更好的状态。

4 如果以上3点你都不能有效的做到那最好的方法就是定时做中医调理。最好的调理方法包挂针灸，艾灸，推拿与中药调理。

Immunity in the current epidemic

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the oxygen that the human body breathes into the lungs and the body fluid origin from the spleen and stomach (spleen and stomach qi) metabolize to synthesize the body's qi call Zongqi. This Zongqi is closely related to the Weiqi that forms the body's protective function, which is what Western medicine calls immunity. So in simple terms, to strengthen human immunity, the functions of the lungs, spleen and stomach must be strengthened. The following are my suggestions. Individuals can make appropriate adjustments according to their objective and preference.
1 Exercises such as jogging, brisk walking, swimming, etc. to increase lung capacity and strengthen lung function.

2 Long-term excessive consumption of spicy, cold food and drinks is easy to hurt the spleen and stomach. Rice soup can nourish the stomach very well.

3 Try to rest before 11 o'clock at night at least 4-5 days a week. In this way, the body's cell metabolism, the detoxification process and repair functions of the internal organs can achieve a better state.

4 If you cannot do the above 3 points effectively, the best way is to do TCM treatment regularly. The best conditioning methods include acupuncture, moxibustion, TCM massage and Chinese herbal medication.

情绪影响健康; 健康影响情绪

五脏相生相克达到平衡时身体机能就处在一个良好的健康状态。人在动怒时肝机能处在高度兴奋状态，长期处在这种状态必定伤肝。同样的道理人若长期忧思过度或处在高度压力下必定伤脾胃。

同样的，脏腑功能的恢复也可缓和，改善人的情绪以及其精神状态。

通过中医中药的辩证论治可以适当的用调理，滋润，疏通等方法恢复脏腑的功能状态。有趣的例子; 有几位女性病患经过治疗调理之后又开始购物了，心情豁然开朗😊。

Emotion affects Health; Health affects Emotion

The body functions are in a good healthy state when the five internal organs are in a balanced state. When a person is angry, the liver function is in a highly excited state. Staying in this state for a long time will damage the liver. The same person that was anxious and worry for a long time or under high pressure will hurt the spleen and stomach.

In the same way, the recovery of viscera functions can also relieve and improve a person's mood and mental state.

Through the dialectical treatment of Traditional Chinese Medicine the functional state of the viscera can be restored with proper conditioning, moisturizing, dredging and other methods. An interesting example; a few female patients started shopping again after treatment, and suddenly felt brighter😊

Nourishing the spleen and stomach during the Spring Festival

During the Spring Festival, excessive eating or drinking too much soda and cold beverage can easily hurt the spleen and yang qi. Once the yang energy of the spleen is damaged, there may be symptoms of abdominal distension, abdominal pain, diarrhea and so on. You can cook some barley water at home or soak two slices of ginger in hot water for self-conditioning. Of course, the best conditioning is through warming acupuncture and moxibustion, which directly and effectively achieves the therapeutic effect of warming Yang, dispelling dampness and dispelling cold.

春节期间注意养脾胃

春节期间一般杂食汽水冷饮喝多了容易伤脾阳。脾的阳气一旦受损可能会有腹胀，腹痛，腹泻等痰湿困脾的症状。可以在家里煮一些薏米水或用热水泡两片生姜自我调理一下。当然最好的调理是通过温针灸法，直接有效的达到温阳祛湿散寒的治疗效果。
