Miscellaneous Notes (List of Small Thoughts)

Two things happened yesterday. One was a blind fortune-telling session worth 168 RMB on Pinduoduo. Second, Sister Fang came to tell her that her mother had passed away the day before yesterday (I also planned not to engage in the career of traditional Chinese medicine, but just as a hobby, just like the decision I made in my heart when I set out for Guangzhou).

I have gained a lot from studying Chinese medicine, and I have initially determined what Teacher Yu means by the "Tao" of preaching through the art. I consider myself to be open-minded and active, with monotonous and broad interests. I always enjoy the present moment with a hint of pessimism.

Two things are certain. First, I will no longer try to convince people, whether it is religious, scientific, theoretical or system (internal or external), I will just talk about my own experience. The second is that the path of traditional Chinese medicine is over. If you are not a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, or if you are biased in what you have learned, you cannot become your ideal doctor. On the contrary, it is now normal in the market to practice traditional Chinese medicine in the name of traditional Chinese medicine. What you learn is unbiased, and what you do is a little tortuous.

What I have seen in the past two months is that the true state of the Chinese medicine community is indeed bleak. Even if we can find more literature and information, drugs that cannot be used according to the policy cannot be used in traditional Chinese medicine hospitals (according to the attending doctor, they used to use a prescription for external application of cirrhosis and ascites, because Kansui is controlled , even if we find Gansui, we can’t use it). Eighteen anti-flavonoids (it is understandable that pinellia ternata and aconite are used together in pharmacies, but it is really difficult to buy raw pinellia ternata in Guangzhou. I thought it was easy to catch the ones that are often used in my hometown)

Taking advantage of Aunt Xu’s illness, I troubled some teachers. Although it didn’t change in the end, I really lack a word of thanks to them. What was unexpected in terms of prescriptions and external application was that they did not achieve the final desired effect (ascites was eliminated and balance was achieved).

The rough sequence of before and after:

After several years of continuous ascites extraction treatment, the ascites swelled faster and faster.

At the end of September this year, I was discharged from the hospital with all the ascites drained out (black tongue). The black tongue gradually disappeared with the Ziyin prescription from the Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. However, I did not urinate much for a few days and could not pass stool. Sister Fang was worried that she would not be able to pass stool. High blood ammonia caused hepatic coma. After consulting me, he immediately informed me of moxibustion and water moxibustion. After several hours of water moxibustion, the stool became clear. (From now on, all the effective methods are to clear the stool, and urination rarely achieves a satisfactory situation for us). I expected to be able to perform moxibustion on that day, but due to lack of preparation, and the infinity moxibustion pot brought by the health center I hired in the middle, I was delayed for a while. (Clearly tell Sister Fang that Wuji Suspension Moxibustion is not suitable in this situation, because the moisture needs to be maintained, and the Wuji Suspension Moxibustion jar cannot.) As expected, Wuji Suspension Moxibustion did not work, and the person was still relatively uncomfortable.

Moxibustion with water afterward did not show any good effect (the water has been maintained). Because the tongue coating was burnt red and hot that day, Yueji Decoction was given before moxibustion. It has not been used yet, so he asked me if he could go. I happened to be frustrated at staying at home. I didn’t want to part with the skills I had learned, and I didn’t want to invest too much in researching this series of things, so I agreed to go. If it can be cured, Chinese medicine will Just check the road and go in the legal direction. If you don't get treatment, forget it. Anyway, at home, I have free medical consultations with relatives and friends, but there is often no feedback. I am advised that cold drinks with fruits and melons are easy to quit, but few people agree. What's more, even if they seem to agree with each other in person, they will still act the same as before (just as Master Yu said, listen to you in person. Later, other doctors told you to eat more fruit, so they went to eat it again. Instead, they argued with you in person, If I don’t listen to you, I will do well only if I accept this point of view). I think that although the diagnosis, prescriptions and medicines are recorded, and I feel that they are effective, there is a lack of long-term comparison. (The short-term treatment effect cannot be considered a cure. Traditional Chinese medicine can quickly correct the symptoms, such as pain, discomfort, and discomfort)

It is true that the people who make me depressed are my relatives, because I don’t have a certificate. I didn't want to go over the rules, lest I be accused of illegally practicing medicine, and I didn't prescribe to others. I don’t know how many days it will take to take one dose of my father’s medicine. For others, it’s normal for others to take one dose of medicine for two days. Let’s not talk about the quality and authenticity of the medicine (I went to the pharmacy where my father had been buying medicine for a long time because he was greedy for cheap, and one of the staff who came out said that the herbs in it were adulterated. After I went there, I found that the cinnamon did not smell like cinnamon at all. The smell of Coptis chinensis was mixed with it. When I was taking medicine, I also saw that the drug for lowering blood sugar was included in the traditional Chinese medicine. Then I learned that it was for making an ointment. In fact, the disappointment in the journey of traditional Chinese medicine is only in these things, not in the lack of medicine. Ineffective or medical skills are not adequate).

After leaving Guangzhou, judging from the pulse condition, it was indeed okay, and it was not one of the seven unique pulses. Previously, I had a distant relative in Jingzhou who had advanced lung cancer and his pulse condition was much worse. The pulse on his right hand was very obvious and he could only count it with his right ruler. I stayed in Jingzhou for a day. On the surface (from feeling weak, unable to stand for a long time until I could go downstairs, walking with us for a long time, saying that I couldn’t walk very far before), I wanted to go to Xianning to study, so I promised to go to Master Yu next time. . It's a pity that I'll see you next time (in Jingzhou City Hospital, the pulses in various parts of the body are different, the Taixi pulse and Fuyang pulse on one side are difficult to find, broad and slow) and I will go west in a few days. The cousin who took me there said that she was happy because there were more of us so she could walk so far (just like my cousin had vomiting and diarrhea during the epidemic this year, and felt better after taking medicine without feeling anything). When I first heard these feelings It’s a bit aggrieved that Chinese medicine is not understood.

Later I figured it out and felt that this was the right medicine and method, just right! Traditional Chinese medicine says that treating diseases is like marching and fighting. It can drive away evil spirits without damaging the righteousness. If you feel as if you have not taken the medicine after taking the medicine, and the disease goes away by itself, just like the feeling of moisturizing things silently, then it should not be what I am pursuing. Of? Isn’t it the same thing as what I did before when I learned how to oscillate Chinese medicine snack powder?

The famous doctor whom Sister Fang’s brother found in Guangzhou used a surprisingly large dose of medicine to treat back pain all year round, including strong medicines such as asarum and kidney-tonifying medicines. It is expensive and requires one month of medication every year. That's all for adults. After I came back, my cousin's child just had a cough that wasn't cured. The delay was a bit long. The kid didn't want to take the medicine I prescribed after his fever subsided (it didn't taste good), so he went to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital to get it prescribed. For the recipe, use whole scorpion and centipede (powdered with traditional Chinese medicine from a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, plus xylitol, making it easier for children to take it). From what I have learned, xylitol is not a good thing, and Scorpion Centipede should not be given to three-year-old children. These prescriptions are all effective, but I deeply feel that attacking tiger and wolf medicine should not just pursue curative effect. (Many people in the world are stupid, valuing things when they are scarce, rather than valuing good things. They only seek quick results, neglecting the essence, and blinding their eyesight with one leaf). Our ancestors said that radish and cabbage keep people safe, contain a lot of calming medicine, are easy to grow, and have good effects when used. By the way, I admire Puyang Temple. I went to Qingcheng Mountain last month. The Taoist priest used snakes, insects and other animal and insect medicines to treat patients' pain. Puyang Temple always uses herbal medicine.

The prescription I considered before and after arriving in Guangzhou (Yuepi Decoction - I didn’t add ginger or jujube in my hurry. Fortunately, I was sweating, so I was relatively comfortable). Because the abdominal fluid was so swollen that it stretched all the way to my stomach, and it kept Symptoms include epigastrium pain and drooling while sleeping (acupuncture can relieve this, and moxibustion and water can also relieve it at the same time). At the same time, consider the two alternative prescriptions (Shizao Decoction and Gansui Banxia Decoction)

Facing severe disease, my mentality is still unstable. Specifically, one dose cannot see obvious effects, so I will immediately consider other prescriptions. The next morning I rushed to feel my pulse just after I got up in the morning (the pulse is OK after that, but I don't see this pulse at other times, what the ancients said is true), just like the pulse pattern in the book I just brought with me, it was used to disperse the stomach qi. Shenqi pills (decoction used). It didn't work, and then I knew the risks of Shizao Decoction and Gansui Banxia Decoction, but I didn't buy the kansui, wanhua, and raw pinellia that were needed in the prescription. Thinking about it later, if I hadn't hesitated and worried about prescriptions and alternatives, I would have used Gansui Banxia Decoction anyway. I don't know if it was my luck or misfortune. And if the ascites did not rise so quickly, I should still be able to slowly give Pingwei San and Shenqi Pills according to the instructions in Teacher Wang Yusan's book.

The prescriptions I tried later included, but were not limited to, Huang Shipei’s base recipe of Bupleurum Guizhi and Ginger Decoction (all three times, adding rhubarb to the recipe only increased the frequency of defecation, but the amount was not large, and people Uncomfortable—the patient wakes up frequently at night) I asked Teacher Chen for help and tried Zhenwu Decoction, Zhuling Decoction, and conventional prescriptions for removing ascites. I also found Dr. Yuan who uses external application method on the front line from the shared buttercup external application method. It didn't work), during this period, I applied external application (alum) again to relieve constipation. I heard that the dosage was acceptable.

I have returned home, and during this period, I encountered the problem of not being able to pass stool. Referring to Professor Liu's medical records on the use of Rehmannia glutinosa, I prepared five medicines of my own. 120g of Rehmannia glutinosa was used to relieve constipation.

While at home, I hoped that the external application of buttercup would help the patient's liver recover, but this failed. (Because Professor Liu re-used Shudi Qixiatong for defecation, which is really effective), I went to Sichuan last month and stopped by Leshan to visit and ask for a prescription. I was lucky enough to get a call. The prescription method recorded in Professor Liu’s medical records was very different. (I wanted to try copying it before, but I placed too much hope on external application. In the meantime, Sister Fang bought the book and gave it an electronic version. Regarding the information therapy for external application, I felt that the author ignored the acupuncture points of the ancestors and external medicine. The words about warmth, coolness and coldness are the same as what academics are studying and doing now. They dug graves for traditional Chinese medicine. They thought that the reason for the ineffectiveness was that they did not find the location of the meridian points. Later, they tried it in Taichong and Qimen) According to feedback, it is ineffective (although I still insist on it, but according to Sister Fang’s report and Dr. Yuan’s experience, it is indeed somewhat ineffective).

Last time Sister Fang wanted to have ascites pumped again, I really wanted to stop her and let her use Gansui Banxia Tang. I said so, but I still went for the surgery. Probably because of the psychological frustration of the previous methods plus the added frustration of external application of buttercup causing new injuries. However, before the ascites was removed, I took Xiaojianzhong Granules and Guifu Dihuang Pills one after another because of a sudden pain in one part of my body. There was a lot of drooling that day, accompanied by pain in the epigastrium, and jelly-like stool. Sister Fang may be worried. () I judge that drooling out in large amounts is not good, and jelly-like stool is relatively good). Later, I had ascites and had a urinary tract infection, so I stopped taking Guifu Dihuang Pills to protect the kidney qi (the traditional Chinese medicine made in Guangzhou is not as good as Sichuan), and I used a small amount of cold medicine to stop the yellow smell of urine. After all, Sister Fang fell seriously ill when she went to Leshan to get medicine, and she was sent to the hospital for testing. Now I still don’t understand what Western medicine says (she has loose stools, why is her blood ammonia high).

It is also a pity that the traditional Chinese medicine method to remove ascites that I have tried several times has not worked even once (even the Shizao Decoction or Gansui Banxia Decoction, which treat the symptoms - there is also Gansui Banxia Decoction in the medical records). He was cured by the decoction), and the antiviral hepatitis B drug Endecavir that he wanted to stop has not been stopped.

The common phenomenon among people nowadays cannot be changed, nor does it want to be changed.

My knowledge is limited and I know that it is not good to remove ascites (qi and blood are the same). I cannot explain it clearly. I deeply feel that Endecavir should not be continued. However, I myself cannot understand it clearly from the medical theory and thinking of traditional Chinese medicine. We cannot point out the disadvantages from the perspective of Western medicine. When I was studying with Teacher Sun in Luyi, I could hardly stop taking this medicine.)

If anyone told me that Chinese medicine is empirical medicine before, I would totally disagree, but now I can only say that when we learn Chinese medicine today, we are looking for methods from the experience of our ancestors. Even though I still feel that the medical principles of traditional Chinese medicine are based on people’s own cultivation and insights, and when I use them, they are based on the overall qi of the person. However, I don’t have a set of deep insights that I can convince anyone. I can only rely on my own experience and experience. Make some assumptions based on what you have seen and learned.

Where the system is and where people’s hearts are, the medical skills of Chinese medicine will not return to being better than in ancient times. At least Aunt Xu's pulse is not a dead vein. Even if she uses controlled Chinese medicine, she cannot use it due to various reasons. The future of Chinese medicine will indeed be worse than the last. Remember more, the method of practicing Chinese medicine taught by today’s academics is the final destination of Chinese medicine in the future, and it will not be higher. The Treatise on Febrile Diseases, which is advocated by dialectics based on experimental classification, uses both Chinese and Western medicine without talking about yin and yang, cold and heat, and is very eager to abandon these theoretical frameworks of our ancestors. Those who practice medicine are better off doing health care, and those who do health care are better off doing beauty. What people want is different. Many good techniques (reflexology has been reduced to health care), and a series of good things in Dacheng Massage are constantly being absorbed and changed by foreign theories ( What cannot be absorbed by change can only be stored in books) When one day people's vision of system research reaches a certain level, they may be able to escape from books.

The era of suffering caused by all kinds of problems seems to have passed. It seems that the quality of material life and desires are much higher than before. However, individuals increasingly pay less attention to some of the body's own sensory perceptions and subtle overall connections.

Some of my own physical experiences (overall factors are omitted). When I was a child, my mother would cut my toenails very cleanly. As a result, they would grow long and become embedded in the flesh, which would later lead to paronychia, and on rainy days. It will hurt, but I'm used to enduring it anyway. My ninja nails have grown a thick layer of skin on their own, and I don't know when one day they won't hurt anymore. When I trim them, I don't cut them completely, and they no longer dig in. It’s growing inside)

The same is true for the two wisdom teeth. When they grow out and are about to break through the skin, it hurts. Once the skin breaks through and bleeds, the pain is basically gone in a few days. So when my cousin-in-law used traditional Chinese medicine to relieve the pain of her wisdom teeth, she was prevented from having them removed. Her pulse was suitable for Guifu, which nourishes the kidneys. It won't be a problem if the broken skin grows back.

I was originally disgusted with the superstitious behavior of relatives like my mother at home. Instead, I saw that Pinduoduo asked a blind master to do calculations and communicated on the phone. He only reported his horoscopes and a little information from the chat. Eighty-nine of the above mentioned Not far from ten. This is actually the second time I have paid for fortune telling. Because I came into contact with traditional Chinese medicine and learned about the eight-character numerology and Ziwei Dou Shu through the five fortunes and six qi, I downloaded two softwares on my mobile phone. I like to check them out sometimes. Last year in Puyang There was a senior sister in the temple who was studying this. I was confused and people from the Taoist temple often asked the Taoist priest for treatment, so I casually asked her to help me calculate it. I felt that it was not as clear as today (right). In my heart, I don’t really care whether it counts or not. On the contrary, if I could find the true method of life, I would probably practice it. (Basically, life and death are the same. According to today’s religious understanding: past lives and present lives are meaningless. Even if everyone has past lives, you don’t remember it now, and how it has anything to do with your current self. In the next life, you will be blamed for doing bad things in this life or even before. Influenced by good things, you won’t remember everything in this life in the next life, and even if you remember it, it basically doesn’t matter), not to mention that I don’t agree with the theory of six paths of reincarnation. On the other hand, when a practitioner is about to get married, I don’t understand why the senior brother or fortune teller I met at a Taoist temple still advises me according to ordinary people’s views? The marriage you make is the fruit of your future karma. Marriage and family are the biggest karma. According to this understanding, you should not enter. Today's world is in chaos and the ecological environment of the earth. If we look at the earth according to the logic of ancient Chinese medicine, we should look at the earth. As a human system, today’s earth has depleted kidney essence (oil and other substances), poor lungs (air pollution, acid rain, etc.), spleen and stomach (accumulation of garbage on the earth’s surface and oceans), acceptable heart (sun), and depleted liver blood ( According to the homology of essence and blood, it should be the source of geothermal energy). If animals and plants are regarded as human microorganisms and the earth's surface is compared to human skin, the earth's "spleen, stomach and lungs" are not very good. Like humans, eating too much will produce many diseases of wealth.

A logical paradox, we can only say that in the current system, we don’t know where the path of spiritual practice is going to go. Moreover, many practitioners say that while they are coveting the "immortality system that I think is unnecessary" for spiritual practice, they are also looking for philosophical logic for the acceptance of reasonable things and things in society.

This is also my bias. I believe in the original meaning of religious propaganda. Why ask people to change their lives and know the blessings and misfortunes before and after. If you can't change it, there's no point in forgetting it. If it is changed, how much involvement will be changed along with it? However, fortune tellers believe that fate can be changed and prevented, but they cannot control their own greed and distractions. People's lives have ups and downs, and the only thing that can be changed is what you did when you were supposed to encounter it. Anyway, the direction of domestic religions is to encourage people to do good, and there is nothing wrong with it. However, according to my experience growing up, some of the superstitious beliefs of my mother and relatives have no effect at all. If the mind remains unchanged and the actions remain unchanged, the change in results can be regarded as luck. , so many people pray for better luck. It is better to prepare yourself for doing so.

However, the religious school itself was originally about life and death and the cessation of desires. Why is it that helping secular people must be based on advantages and disadvantages, and understanding "impermanence" as a means of accumulating virtue?

I don’t understand a lot and I don’t expect to understand. Nowadays, it seems that the study of traditional Chinese medicine is acceptable, but the subject of traditional Chinese medicine is unnecessary. Originally, I was deeply involved in this because of the Yi Jin Jing, but I was just as sad as when a rabbit died when I was a child, and I felt cruel when I saw the killing of chickens. . Life and death are permanent, and we have our final destination.

I don’t have the opportunity to inherit, and I think I have a little wisdom, but it’s just because the principles of my ancestors are simple and easy to use. I just face it. It doesn’t matter if I try hard. If I don’t understand, I can only guess. It’s not me. whatever you want. If others still don’t believe what you firmly believe, it’s better to cultivate yourself. Looking for some sensations of changes in the body may be in vain.
