Why do you want to teach yourself Chinese medicine?

I am a Western medicine doctor. Let me talk about my experience of self-taught Chinese medicine. I was originally a Western medicine surgeon. After working for 2 years, I found that operating to treat inflammation was not in my interest. By chance, I studied with an old professor ( Huang Jizong) learned surgery to treat rheumatism (thoracic duct lymphatic drainage). The teacher was very conservative. I learned it secretly for 8 years. It was only after the teacher passed away in 2013 that I had the opportunity to perform the surgery. At that time, I was really high-spirited and full of ambition. But after years of verification, I deeply feel that surgery can only have a temporary effect. For systemic diseases such as rheumatism, any treatment method of Western medicine can only have a temporary effect, and simple immunosuppressive treatment will only lead to a dead end (I have contacted Most of the patients have been to well-known hospitals across the country, such as Xiehe Xiangya, and have used good and expensive medicines. There are also many people who have spent tens or even millions on treatment. Patients in the advanced stage are extremely weak and are treated with immunosuppressants. Aren’t poison-like drugs a quick way to death? ), the overall concept of traditional Chinese medicine, syndrome differentiation and treatment seems to be the only hope.

In the past, there was a Chinese medicine doctor in his 70s in my treatment group. It was said that he was from a family of Chinese medicine. However, he did not focus on taking pulses when treating patients. He started prescribing 30 medicines, and each prescription easily cost hundreds of dollars. , but the effect is very little, and the patient is miserable. How can I bear to hand over the patient to such a traditional Chinese medicine doctor? In desperation, I overcame all the other people and embarked on the road of self-study of Chinese medicine, which has been going on for six years now.

I took a lot of detours before, because the senior Chinese medicine practitioner in my group told me that if you want to learn Chinese medicine, you must learn Chinese medicine well, because currently several famous Chinese medicine doctors in Zhejiang Province are taught in universities. With a background in Chinese medicine, he often told me that a certain medicine relieves coughs and a certain medicine protects the stomach (later I learned that this is a typical Western medicine approach to prescribing Chinese medicine). After systematically learning the basic theories of Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine, prescriptions, and diagnostics I also read these contents very carefully in "Medicine Zhongzhongshenxilu", "Spleen and Stomach Theory", "Medical Insights" and some water by Ye Tianshi and Wang Mengying. I am also confused about clinical symptoms and can only prescribe four things and eight things. The effects of these painless and painless prescriptions can be imagined. I was confused and confused for a while, until one time I learned about Li Ke through Baidu Dazzling Reaction on the Internet and bought several of his clinical essentials. Reading his medical cases was as thrilling as reading a martial arts novel, and I realized that traditional Chinese medicine can play such a big role. Under the guidance of Li Ke, he gradually came into contact with the ancient Chinese medicine of circular motion, and finally returned to Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases, a book that he could not understand and scorned before. After 5 years, he finally returned to traditional Chinese medicine. the right path.

The enthusiasm for studying Treatise on Febrile Diseases is almost fanatical. I have read the explanations by Wang Shuhe, Chen Xiuyuan, Liu Duzhou, Hu Xishu, Hao Wanshan, Ni Haixia, and Liu Xiyan once or several times, either intensively or in full, and I am still fascinated. I was in the clouds and foggy, and my mind was uncertain. Later I saw the Four Sacred Heart Sources, and then looked back at the Circular Movement. My mood seemed to gradually become clearer, but there was always something about to enter the palace, and there was still a feeling of being out of reach. I guess it was the legendary one. Bottleneck.

Roughly like Yan Ji in Snow Mountain Flying Fox, who learned the first two pages of Hu Family Sword Techniques and was able to kill everyone. I only scratched the surface when I studied Treatise on Febrile Diseases, and applied classic prescriptions to witness the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine. , after taking another dose, the miraculous effect of healing after filling the cup, to put it bluntly, no one has given me a banner after so many years of surgery, but in just a few years of prescribing traditional Chinese medicine, there are no more banners to hang on the wall in the clinic.

I am not saying this to show off how powerful I am, but I want to tell everyone about the magic of Treatise on Febrile Diseases, the magic of ancestors’ wisdom, and the magic of Chinese civilization! There are still so many people on the Internet slandering Chinese medicine and trying to eliminate Chinese medicine. This is so sad and regretful!

Now that we’ve started chatting, let’s talk more. Anyway, there are no patients, haha!

As a Western medicine practitioner who has been practicing medicine for 16 years, because he is engaged in rheumatism and immunity, most of these patients have multiple medical and surgical diseases, so he knows a little bit about Western medicine internal medicine and surgery. After contacting traditional Chinese medicine, Only then did I realize that Western medicine is really seeking money and harming lives intentionally or unintentionally. For example, surgical operations are all done, cutting out the appendix, spleen, gallbladder, stomach, intestines, and tumors, completely regardless of the consequences. Human beings have evolved millions of times. Years later, there is no unnecessary organ in the body! The three high points of internal medicine are to lower blood pressure by dilating blood vessels, to lower blood sugar by taking insulin or even ridiculous gastrectomy surgery, and to treat tumors by removing them with chemotherapy, regardless of why, humans are not machines after all! Why is blood pressure high? Just like pinching a water pipe will increase the water pressure, and a car will hit the accelerator when climbing a hill and carrying a load, blood pressure will be high only if there is a blood clot and a load, right? Why is blood sugar high? Long-term thick-flavored ointment damages the spleen's transportation and transformation function, resulting in turbid yin that cannot be transformed. Only then will metabolic diseases such as high fat, high sugar, and high uric acid occur. Why do tumors grow when yang transforms qi and yin takes shape? If yang does not transform yin, foreign bodies will grow. Instead of solving the fundamental problem, we just focus on removing the tumor. Could it be that a small tumor kills a cancer patient?

The more I talk, the angrier I get! All kinds of chaos have become the mainstream, treating headaches, treating feet, euphemistically called professional specialists. Now the efficiency of my department is getting worse and worse. It is only because the boss knows my ability that I reluctantly keep it. Now the boss mainly focuses on When it comes to geriatric diseases, the ward is full of 8 and 90-year-olds, who are receiving "professional" treatment and can't sleep? Sleeping pills! Have loose bowels? Montmorillonite! Patients with weakened true yang are still injecting cold salt water every day, causing edema all over their bodies. The chief physician who treats colds and colds starts with Qingkailing. Is this treating the disease or harming people?

As for the current traditional Chinese medicine, they are really angry about it, but they will not mourn their misfortune. From the upper level, there is a big problem at the level of academic education. They do not pay attention to the theory of febrile diseases and miscellaneous diseases. The Huangdi Nei Jing These fundamentals focus on the final aspects of English computer pharmacology. Can the Chinese medicine trained in this way be useful? Looking at it from the bottom, firstly, at present, if Chinese medicine doctors in traditional Chinese medicine hospitals only rely on traditional Chinese medicine, 90% of them will starve to death. Among the patients I come into contact with, about 90% of them will not be treated in traditional Chinese medicine hospitals. I prescribed Chinese medicine for treatment, but it was all Western medicine examination medicine! Second, as for patients, there are many people who have been brainwashed by Western medicine. When they come to see a doctor, they always ask for examinations and for treatment, and they always ask for infusions. There is no way to stop them. Yesterday, an old woman with cystitis said she wanted to complain because I didn’t give her infusions. I, alas, sigh!

The roots of traditional Chinese medicine lie in the folk, because my patients are scattered all over the country. Judging from their feedback, there are indeed many experts, and I have contact with two of them. (There are many patients from other places, and it is really distressing that they cannot take pulse and tongue test when prescribing Chinese medicine. I usually suggest them to go back to the local area to find a capable Chinese medicine doctor). One of them, from Yongzhou, Hunan, has a first-class pulse diagnosis. One of my patients on WeChat took the traditional Chinese medicine I prescribed for half a year intermittently, but the effect was not good. I recommended her to see this doctor. This patient is also very interesting. I don’t know. Why did he trust me so much that he actually went and took photos or described the medical treatment process to me: there was a sea of ??people, and the doctor started at 4 a.m. and didn’t see her turn until 3 p.m., without asking any questions. I just took a pulse and then prescribed the medicine, which cost 360 for 6 medicines (including consultation fees, and each medicine also contained 10 grams of donkey-hide gelatin!). After taking the medicine, the patient's symptoms improved a lot (at least it was better than taking the medicine). My medicine was effective. Later, the patient sent me the prescription, which was Wenjing Decoction, Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Decoction and the Four Ingredients of the Kidneys. I had prescribed this prescription to this patient before, but he didn’t have it because he thought donkey-hide gelatin was expensive. Persistence, I have no idea, and later I changed my treatment ideas, so I won’t comment). Later, I added this doctor's WeChat account. He was very nice and enthusiastic. He told me about his experience of pulse measurement and recommended some books to me. I really benefited a lot from reading them.

Traditional Chinese medicine is a discipline, profound and magical. I remember one time when the Spring Festival was approaching, a friend got dizzy. He took medicine (laoqingsu) for 7 consecutive days in the city hospital, but it didn’t get better. The doctor said that it usually takes medicine Just 4/5 days will be enough, you are so stubborn and won’t get better after so many days! She called me at night and asked me if there was any solution. I said it's not a big problem and I'll pick up the medicine for you later. I delivered the medicine at 9 o'clock in the evening and came back. At nearly 12 o'clock, she called and said: How can your medicine be so good? I just drank it. I felt less drowsy after just one bowl of it, and I mopped the floor that I hadn’t mopped in a long time and even took a shower. I am the only one who knows the efficacy of this medicine. Dozens of people have taken it before her, so I dare to say that the problem is not serious.

There are many other cases that I won’t go into here. For oneself and others, this is the benevolence of a medical practitioner. Don’t violate your original intention of studying Chinese medicine just for money. You must have the benevolence of a medical practitioner. I believe that Chinese medicine advocates science.

Self-study of traditional Chinese medicine can not only cure your own illness, but also protect the health of your family, relatives and friends.

The money to buy books is only a few hundred yuan, to cure a cold or a cough is only 20 yuan, and to go to the hospital to get a few dozen yuan to a thousand yuan. Some time ago, my family complained of chest and back pain and no desire to eat. They treated chest pain according to traditional Chinese medicine. They took five doses of traditional Chinese medicine for five yuan and recovered. It must be unlicensed, so treating your own illness is not illegal.

Ignorance of medical treatment is both unkind and unfilial. What people value most is life, and what matters most is family affection. It is unwise to entrust the lives of loved ones to others. What’s more, there are too many quack doctors and Western medicine is too harsh. Twenty years ago, when my son was two years old, his head was drooped and his feet were as soft as mud. He had frequent high fevers and epilepsy. Western medicine diagnosed me with cerebral palsy and said that there was no hope of life. Even if I were born, it would be a burden in my life. Most people told me to give up. Because I didn't want to give up my family ties, I went back home and read the "Songdong Medical Treasures Mirror". I followed the diagrams and made prescriptions according to the symptoms. After three years, I finally stood up like that at the age of six. Those who have not experienced the bitterness cannot understand it. Things are getting better now, just like normal people, but there are too few girls and it is hard to find a partner. My aunt suffered a stroke a few years ago and was severely deficient. She called to tell her that she was going to see her for the last time. The whole family was terrified at that time, and the patient held her hand tremblingly. I took the pulse and found that the six pulses were stable and she was just weak. . So I was comforted by words of comfort and a few large doses of Zhenyin decoction stabilized my condition. Of course, my father suffered from cancerous pulmonary edema. Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital used too much water-reducing medicine. He urinated more than ten times a night and in large quantities. Although his chest was loose, it became skinny and bones in ten days and he was extremely weak. The key is not to stop taking the medicine. My father believed in the experts and finally believed in me. He stopped taking the medicine decisively and added or subtracted Dushen Decoction and Xiaoqinglong Decoction that night. His mental state improved that night. After that, he recovered at home for a few months.

I am from a rural area. After graduating from high school, I studied traditional Chinese medicine with an old doctor for about a year. He gave me a book called "Songs of Medicinal Properties" and a book called "Introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine" (a thin book). species), a "Synopsis of Clinical Symptoms" and a "Song of Soup". The rest of the time is to help him get medicine. At that time, how could I understand the beauty, depth, interest, and subtlety of Chinese medicine? Remember it by force and memorize it by heart. How can you recognize the true face of Lushan Mountain in the clouds and mist? Fortunately, after taking medicine for about a year, I have a preliminary understanding of their appearance and their nature and taste. Later, because I felt that there was no hope of learning, I went out to work.

In my spare time, I sometimes encountered a minor illness. With the mentality of giving it a try, I prescribed some prescriptions, and some of them were actually effective. So, out of the idea of ????finding out, I decided to I bought some books, and when I had free time, I slowly pondered them, but most of them were just scattered and fragmented.

Only in recent years, with the development of the Internet, have I begun to systematically learn some things, such as "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", etc., and the prescriptions prescribed are quite effective, and I feel that I have seen the true gate of traditional Chinese medicine. Although I am already in my forties, I feel that I am younger, have a direction ahead, and have a head to head towards.

I secretly vowed in my heart that even for the health of my family, I should learn more.

When I was 19 years old, I came into contact with a Chinese medicine doctor who had retired from my work unit. At that time, I worked with this Chinese medicine doctor on a task assigned by my work unit to write large-character slogans. It was probably the early stage of a cold, and I felt uncomfortable in my stomach and had signs of vomiting. After discovering the dizziness, the old Chinese doctor pressed the Zusanli acupoint on my legs, and the dizziness and discomfort immediately disappeared.

I fell in love with Chinese medicine from then on, and asked my teacher for advice. The teacher gave me a book "Introduction to Chinese Medicine" written by Qin Bowei. After so many years of study, I finally understand the relationship between specimens, how to study Chinese medicine correctly, and that Chinese medicine must be studied seriously. "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic", "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" and "Difficult Classics". In the subsequent study, I learned that many Chinese medicine masters such as Liu Duzhou, Hu Xishu, Pu Fu, Zhou Shi, Jin Mo, Fan Zhonglin, Li Ke, Ni Haixia, etc., can know two things with one dose. After using the medicine, even some patients who were declared incurable by Western medicine can be cured by their medicine without suffering any pain, which strengthens their determination to learn Chinese medicine. Although I am not very good at it now, I have benefited from the fact that medicine is easy to understand and the Chinese philosophical thoughts contained in traditional Chinese medicine. It is recommended that beginners of Chinese medicine start memorizing "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" at the age of 7, memorizing one article a day and basically finishing it in one year. Don't be afraid that you won't be able to use it, because once the seeds are planted, they will have the possibility of becoming saplings and big trees.

I want to learn Chinese medicine, but I can’t get into it at the moment, so I can only take my time.

Because I found that there are too many patients around me, especially their relatives, who often suffer from diseases, and Western medicine is not effective.

For example, there is no solution for a child suffering from acne, there is no solution for a spouse who suffers from chronic chest tightness and cough, parents are suffering from chronic illnesses and there is nothing they can do about it, and older colleagues all have their own discomforts. Last year, there were three people in their 40s. The acquaintance left for good.

Since I am resistant to Western antibiotics, I take Chinese medicine every day to resist the serious sequelae of radiotherapy, and I also use suitable health products to enhance my immunity. My constitution is sensitive, my condition is complex, difficult to balance, and often relapses. Since I have been ill for a long time and have become a doctor, I think I can gradually get started.

I have been very interested in traditional Chinese medicine since I was in junior high school. At that time, I had no intention of studying cultural subjects and only wanted to understand the various theories of traditional Chinese medicine. Probably because my thoughts are immature, my thinking is not enlightened, and there are too many professional terms that I can’t understand at all, so it gradually fell into disuse.

Later, I reaffirmed my belief in self-study because of the day and night torture of allergic rhinitis. I have seen many doctors over the years and spent a lot of money, but they can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and the symptoms cannot be improved. In a rage, I bought a copy of Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" to study to see if I could get any method to improve symptoms from the book.

When I was browsing casually, I accidentally saw a prescription and thought that this prescription might be feasible. So, I took three doses according to the prescription, and I did feel better after drinking it. But there are also side effects, which are diarrhea and internal heat. Then, I searched online for experience sharing on additions, subtractions and dosage of this medicine, and made readjustments, and finally solved all the side effects. Now, I still insist on using this prescription, but not often, just take it occasionally when I feel uncomfortable.

Another time, I had a lump in my throat after I had a fever. It almost blocked my esophagus and made it difficult to swallow. Suddenly, I remembered that I had seen a disease called "Mei He Qi" in junior high school, and that was it. I vaguely remembered that there was a prescription that was very effective. Then, I searched for "Meiheqi" on the Internet and finally found the prescription. I immediately added and subtracted the medicine according to the prescription. After I bought the medicine, I felt that the dose was too small, so I boiled two doses together. After taking the medicine and taking a nap, the lump in my throat disappeared and the pain was gone. Because the effect was so good, I didn't believe it myself. Later I bought a few packs of orchid beans and ate them until my throat became inflamed.

It turns out that the two prescriptions above belong to the "Top Ten Famous Prescriptions of Traditional Chinese Medicine". Out of curiosity, I copied these top ten prescriptions to increase my impression.

Another time when I came home for vacation, my mother said that she felt tired and her legs were sore and weak. I looked at the coating on her tongue and told her it was nothing but a cold, and asked her if she had used air conditioning. She said yes, and she continued to blow for a long time, and it stayed like this ever since, and she couldn't sleep well at night. Later, I asked her to take Chinese patent medicine to dispel cold, and she was fine.

Therefore, the reason why I study Chinese medicine on my own is that, on the one hand, Chinese medicine is really useful, and on the other hand, it can be used for self-defense. It is worth mentioning that, after all, it is self-study, so you can only try it yourself, and you can never practice medicine. If anyone asked me, I would just suggest that they go to the hospital and see a doctor.
