Diabetes – always a hot topic

Diabetes is a common disease and hence it is always a hot topic.

From the western medicine perspective, there are many different types of medication, different types of treatments and different types of therapies for different types of diabetes.

We will limit our discussion to Type 2 diabetes and Reverse Diabetes therapy.

Type 2 diabetes is a common condition that causes the level of sugar (glucose) in the blood to become too high. It can cause symptoms like excessive thirst, needing to pee a lot and tiredness. It can also increase your risk of getting serious problems with your eyes, heart and nerves.

Control or regulation of sugar (glucose) in the blood is carried out by insulin hormone. Logically, de-functioning of insulin contributes to diabetes.

Sugar (glucose) comes from the foods taken. By such a statement, western medicine implies that food intake is a contributing factor to diabetes.

From the above proposition, the conclusion is the need to control food intake, and insulin level in the blood by medication or diet.

Reverse Diabetes therapy is through diet changes and weight loss, you may be able to reach and hold normal blood sugar levels without medication.

Western medicine keeps emphasizing that there is no cure to diabetes, meaning Reverse Diabetes therapy is a control measure, not complete cure.

Just based on the above conclusion made by the western medicine, we can have a good discussion from the ancient wisdom, Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic, perspectives.

Why western medicine often say, there is no complete cure to diabetes? Similarly, there is no cure to Parkinson, no cure to Autism, no cure Autoimmune disorders etc. ?

As per many discussion in my video courses, the reason is western medicine does not focus on the actual root causes, but focus on immediate mechanics that is associated with the diseases, e.g. diabetes, factors such as insulin level out of balance, food intake that eventually contributes to high sugar contents in the blood.

It is obvious that if medical professionals do not focus on the original root causes, logically there is no chance to find a complete cure.

It is obvious that if medical professionals only focus on the immediate mechanics that are associated with diabetes, i.e. insulin and food intake, then the best result is just control, but not cure.

Ancient wisdom will address diabetes problems in a holistic and integrated manner.

How?

Some key questions to be addressed are

  1. What organ function is responsible to produce the optimal level of insulin to convert food to glucose?
  2. In what ways can such organ function be affected by other organs-functionalities?
  3. What particular factors affect the said organ functionalities out of balance?

The organ function for optimal level of insulin is Spleen (inclusive of pancreas) . As per ancient wisdom, Spleen is responsible for converting food into Qi Blood, i.e. internally generated nutrients for the body and energy for activities, which include what western medicine called glucose.

You can have excessive sweat foods that harm the Spleen function.

You can also have damaged or out of balance Spleen function that is not able to even convert low sugar content foods to glucose. Hence, in this case, it is not the food intake issue. It is the Spleen function itself.

Unlike western medicine which sees the body as a machine with parts to be managed, ancient wisdom sees all parts, organs, tissues etc as interconnected and inter-related.

For example, eye function is related to Liver function. If Liver function is out of balance, it affects the eye function and Spleen function, which affects production of Qi Blood, insulin and glucose.

Then the source of the diabetes is the Liver Function out of balance.

Spleen function can also be affected by out of balance Heart function, Lungs function, Kidneys function beside out of balance Liver function.

What then can cause these organ functions to be out of balance?

Ancient wisdom makes specific correlation, unlike western medicine which often offers vague and general suggestions e.g. good lifestyle, exercise, diets.

Using the examples of the above mentioned Spleen function out of balance and Liver function out of balance.

In the case of Spleen function out of balance, it can be caused by wrong food intake for the Spleen, by excessive thinking and worries, lack of Qi exercise for the Spleen Meridian etc.

In the case of Liver function out of balance, which affects the eyes and also affects Spleen functionality, it can be caused by wrong food intake for the Liver, anger emotions or suppressed emotions, excessive drive in performance, lack of Qi exercise for the Liver Meridian etc.

From the above, you can see that different diabetes patients have different sources of problems. There can be no balanced food intake for different organs, can be worries for some, anger for others, etc.

Food intake for different organs is an ancient wisdom food therapy concept. Western nutrition theory does not address what foods for what organ functions.

Ancient wisdom never says there is no cure for diseases, but emphasizes on total balancing, which is called Yin Yang balancing. If you have the knowledge and daily practice in balancing, then you live a complete healthy life.

The above is just a brief illustration of a holistic and integrated approach by ancient wisdom. For those who are seriously interested, welcome to join the video courses with internet links below.

Combating Wuhan coronavirus

This is an interview with Dr. 刘清泉, the dean of Beijing Chinese Medicine hospital.

Interview (In Chinese)

He was the first doctor doing the emergency intervention during SARS 2003, with Chinese herbs treatment, fatality rate brought down to near zero from 11%, now he is in charge of Wuhan virus.

His specialty is in “Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine in intensive and critical care” and “Emergency treatment using Chinese Medicine”.

In this interview, Dr. 刘清泉 shared his involvement, treatments of Wuhan patients, and derived some patterns for diagnosis and treatment, discussed with the medical authority to come up with a structural framework for treatment of patients.

In this interview Dr. 刘清泉 also explained the virus-induced-disease is categorized as “湿毒之邪”.(Dampness-evil)

This concept is not easily understood if you do not have knowledge of the 3000 years ancient wisdom called Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic, which provides the foundation to Chinese Medicine.

This concept is linked to another concept, Body Constituents 体质, which is absent from western medicine knowledge.

There are 9 types of Body Constituents, with one of them called Dampness-Heat Body Constituent. And the virus thrives in this internal body environment.

We all have different combination of Body Constituents, with varying degree of deficiencies, arising from the foods we consume, weather conditions, emotional imbalance, stress, psychology and in-appropriate exercises, etc.

While the medical specialists try their best to remove the dampness and fever-associated symptoms on patients, it is important we all need to learn and practice balancing our own Body Constituents, not only for prevention of this virus, but all future diseases.

Wuhan coronavirus – learning from 2003 SARS

Year 2003 SARS lasted 5 months.
SARS had a fatality ratio of 11%.
Importance of Containment and controlling spread.
Importance of basic hand and respiratory hygiene.

SARS ended in 5 months implies the virus gets weakened over time. Hence TIME is required to eliminate the SARS.

SARS falality ratio brought down from 11% to almost zero by the use of Chinese herbs, first tried in Guangdong province then nation-wise.

Some succumb to virus attack more easily than others due to weak “immune system” of the said persons.

How do you know how strong or weak is your “immune system”?

Ancient Wisdom (Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic) teaches us “immune system” (正气)is manifested in your Body Constituents, 体质。 Hence we need to identify what types of Body Constituents we uniquely have and do the balancing and conditioning using food therapy, Qi exercises and emotional healing.

Better Health requires Paradigm Shift

It is encouraging to see more and more enrollments to the ancient wisdom video courses.

Many express amazement that there is not only interesting but also revolutionary ideas about health, sickness and diseases, which were advocated 3000 years ago.

With such amzement, many sign up to all the video courses concerning ancient wisdom, Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic.

However, I do realize some challenges faced by the learners.

This is because for centuries our minds are conditioned by the western science, western medicine and western nutrition theory to understand our body system in a particular manners, which is incomplete and hence not holistic.

Now the ancient wisdom presents a very different approach which can really address the fundamental issues with prevention and solutions.

But the subconscious mind, being heavily conditioned, cannot easily shift the paradigm after a few hours of the video courses. Hence practitioners will soon revert back to the old thinking pattern and not allowing the new practice to take roots.

For this reason, I encourage the learners to make good use of the video courses, i.e. these video courses are available for re-visit as many times as necessary.

Furthermore I organize a Telegram Discussion Group for members to share, discuss, more Q&A on their daily practices and more queries on the ancient theories.

By such reinforcement, paradigm shift can take roots and participant can enjoy the new practice towards well being.

Interested public are welcome to join the Telegram discussion group by signing up any of the video courses. By doing so, you have some theoritical basic to make meaningful discussion.

Please Telegram me @Andrew360q after you enrolled to any of the courses.

Discover bits & pieces but never Whole

“The brain-gut connection: how TCM has known for centuries what Western medicine is now discovering

There are more and more such articles published that today scientists discover the functions or malfunctions of the brain is connected with the gut. 

This implies brain related problems like Parkinson, dementia, autism, stokes are connected with the gut problems. 

This connection and relationship are well understood 3000 years ago as per ancient wisdom “Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic”.

However today scientists using Western Medicine theory still operate with their fragmented and compartmentalized thinking, looking for micro solutions and not macro solutions.

For example, such statements “Recent research has found that bacteria in the gut can affect people’s mental state, leading to mood, cognition and behavioural problems.” lead scientists to zoom in research into the bacteria and elimination of the bacteria.

But that will not solve the fundamental problems.

Let me explain.

As per Google search :

Where is the gut found? The mouth is the first part of the gut (gastrointestinal tract). When we eat, food passes down the gullet (oesophagus), into the stomach, and then into the small intestine. The small intestine has three sections – the duodenum, jejunum and ileum.

The gut involves digestive system (mouth, stomach) and absorption system (small intestines).

Just based on the above limited information, ancient wisdom considered more than 2 variables (Stomach & Intestines) that create whatever may be the health problems.

Stomach is closely related to Spleen. Small Intestines are closely related to Heart.

As per 5-Elements Theory, Spleen / Stomach, Small Intestines / Heart are in constant interaction with Kidneys / Bladder, Lungs / Large Intestines, Liver / Gall-Bladder. 

Only with all the organs functionalities are in good balance, you will not have so called bacteria in the guts.

Hence bacteria in the gut is the end result of how well you overall organs functioning. Hence it is not the cause.

What is this ancient wisdom Total Integrated Model that connects all parts of our body and mind?

Watch this short video to get some understanding.

How do I strengthen the overall performance of my body organs system to heal (balance) or to prevent diseases?

Take up these 6 video courses on Ancient Wisdom.

Tantrum / Autism Not Behavioral Problem

We had discussed some people with little or no Will Power, nor Intention to set up a clear and compelling vision as life goal. And we attributed that to the weakness in Kidneys Qi / energy.

We also have the opposite. Excessive determination and Will Power, wanting even to conquer everything in the whole world..

As such they have problem to prioritize and focus well, resulting in achievement in little or nothing.

How do we explain the above from Yellow Emperor”s Inner Classic perspectives?

We start explaining using the 5-element Theory.

Kidneys belong to Water. When the water is strong and excessive, moving in all direction, then the water is not under good control.

As per 5-element theory, Earth can Control Water. For example, when the river water is overflowing, a dam (earth) can be used to control the running water.

Kidneys are represented by Water and Spleen is represented by Earth. And Spleen has the function of Thinking and Analysis. Then much thinking and analysis are required to chart a clearer and manageable life direction to manage.

If the Thinking capability is not well functioning, it also implies the Spleen, physiologically not in good balance.

We can use this Model to observe and understand some behavioral pattern of an autistic child. Hyperactive, throwing tantrum, not able to focus well in study.

The child uses a lot of Kidneys-energy, with persistence / will power in demanding what he or she wants, But he is weak in Spleen / Stomach energy.

Tantrum may appear behavioral problem, but it is not. It is physiological problems that need to be addressed first, i.e. the Spleen and Stomach functionalities.

With more knowledge gained from Yellow Emperor”s Inner Classic , we can then help the autistic child to strengthen the functionalities of Spleen and Stomach with the appropriate diets that suit his or her body constituents.

From the above example, we see that kidneys problems need treatment at Spleen and Stomach also. So unlike Western Medicine who does not see relationship among organs.

We have our own experiences that it is not easy to balance Spleen and Stomach. There are so many delicious foods as temptation. Furthermore too much thinking and worries, Spleen and Stomach get attacked all the time.

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are explained in details in the video training.“Organs Functionalities 五脏六腑”, “5-elements theory 五行学说 ” ,”Earth controls Water 土克水” “Kidneys represented by Water 肾属水”,”Spleen represented by Earth 脾属土” ,”Kidneys like Hercules 肾为大力士”, “Liver manifests in anger 肝主怒?“,”Liver likes radiating with 肝主疏泄”

Attention on Blood and Blood Pressure but not body Fluid?

In Chinese culture, there is an interesting concept called “Medicine Diet 药膳”

It is delicious foods and at the same time it is medicines.

It can be a soup, porridge, a dish, added with some simple herbs, then it becomes “Medicine Diet”.

I give a very simple example.

Maize is a simple and common food. When you peel off the leafy-skin, you see strands of fibres wrapping round the corns. These strands of fibres, washed, soak in hot water, it becomes Medicine-tea.”玉米须”

What are the properties “

Improve the body liquid metabolism. Helps to remove water retention in the body. Ease urination. Cool down kidneys, liver inflammation, helps lower high blood pressure, …

And there are many recipes involving this strands of fibers, in the form of soup, juice, porridge, each again have slightly different properties.

Most of these information were recorded thousands of years ago. Ancient sages tasted different foods to find out their properties and effect on our body.

When we have better knowledge of the change Yin and Yang in our body at different time and situations, we can do balancing using Medicine Diets, enjoy the delicious foods and keep us healthy.

Do you know that Up to 60% of the human adult body is water by weight, the brain and heart are composed of 73% water, and the lungs are about 83% water?

What do you think is the significance of our body has high percentage of water? Imagine in a city, there is water supply problem, drainage problems, flooding problem, or shortage of water problem!

We are overly concerned with blood pressure, high blood pressure. With out body having so high percentage of water, more than blood, do you pay attention to the optimal water equilibrium in the body? Do you think there is high and low water pressure problems?

3000 years ago, Yellow Emperor’s Inner classic pays equal attention to water and blood in our body, and of course the Qi. to ensure better optimal condition for health.

Body fluid must be at certain optimal equilibrium. If too little, ancient wisdom calls it “Yin Deficient”, if too much “Yin Excessive”.

The above maize fibers strand is one of the methods to balance the Yin and Yang of our body water system.

We will discuss more in our Video Training courses.

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are explained in details in the video training.Medicine Diets “药膳,药食同源”,””Organs Functionalities 五脏六腑功能” 。
