Small Intestines and Behaviors

Today we talk about the functionalities of Small Intestines.

One of the keys functions of Small Intestines is Separating Pure and Impure of digested foods. This needs the process of Separation, Absorption,Transformation.

The Pure gets absorbed as nutrients for the body growth and various activities. The impure to be sent to the Large Intestines to be discharged.

Writer Leon Hammer, M.D. of “Dragon Rises, Red Bird Flies (Psychology & Chinese Medicine)” is a psychologist and studies deeply Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic, which gives him the knowledge and theory to link psychology and physiology.

He has a patient case who has severe heart problem. He also found out that since young the patient lived a very disorganized and very un-systematic life. She is not able to sort out things, or emotions or relationship issues , as a result that greatly affect her life, her marriage, her career, and many other difficulty in life, one of which is the severe heart problem.

YEIC says “Heart and Small Intestine” like cousin-brother are closely relate to each other. When one is weakened, it affects the other. (心与小肠相表里）

The above case nicely demonstrates such relationship. Heart problem, also Small Intestines problems, not able to separate / sort digested foods, things and emotions.

Many of the Westerners, especially psychologists, particularly attract to learn YEIC because they find that YEIC is the world only integrated model linking psychology with physiology, which should Not be separated for treatment.

In comparison, many Eastern Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors do not examine the psychological aspects of the patients. Hence the healing is often incomplete.

As a result, Westerners prefer Chinese Medicine more than Easterners.

When we study YEIC deeper, we can have more enlarged and objective views regarding illnesses, performance issues, personal or at work in the organization. And we can take effective actions.

Interestingly, many corporations and organization invest greatly in Leadership, Teambuilding programs, ignoring the facts that physiology, the members’ body organs functionalities are key contributing factors too.

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are elaborated in the online training .“Organs cousin relationship 相表里”， “Organs Functionalities 脏腑功能”，”Pure 清气”，”Impure 浊气”，”5 emotions 五情”，”5 Consciousness 五神”，。。。

Many different treatments without compelling theory!

During my 2-day Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic (YEIC ancient wisdom) training, I asked the participants : “Observe carefully, what are the similarities in behaviors between autistic children and some old people with health problems?”

With such focused question, after a while, participants pointed out the following similarities.

They have 5-senses deficiencies, learning difficulties, hands and limbs not flexible, slow and not alert, fixed behaviors, repeated behaviors, stubborn, throw tantrum, temperamental …..

The parents with autistic children suddenly brightened their eyes, and began to wonder : “Why similar behavioral pattern problems having different therapies? Why I have to spend so much time, energy and money on Occupational Therapy, Sensory Integration, Speech Therapy, for my autistic child, whereas the older people with similar behavioral problems do not need to? Is there really a coherent theory to explain phenomena and with which to execute therapy?”

This is indeed the current challenges of 200 years old Western Medicine, which does not have an integrated and holistic theoretical framework governing life and human body system, but so many fragmented and piecemeal theories and application, with no linkages with each other.

3000 years ago, what does YEIC theory says?

“Kidneys system is Prenatal foundation.” (same as today concept like genes, DNA). And “Kidneys Store these Essence” (The essence of life)

These notions or theories explain the behavioral patterns of autistic children and unhealthy older people.

“Kidneys system is Prenatal foundation.” “Kidneys Store these Essence”, upon birth, healthy baby inherits the genes and DNA from healthy parents, called Essence “精”. When subsequent life span with good Life Cultivation practice, one can live till designed life span of 120 years old.

Most autistic children do not have such quality Essence, which in our previous discussion, called “Prenatal deficiency”. Hence Kidneys-Qi is deficient. Kidney Qi governs one’s intelligence (learning ability). Weak Kidney Qi further weaken other organs like Liver (with tantrum, as Liver Stores Anger), etc etc.

For a normal health person, over time, when he excessively uses his energy, emotions, activities, .. the Kidney Essence gets depleted very fast. And these result in many people even before older age, have learning difficulties, forgetfulness, bones weakened (all these are attribute of Kidneys Qi or energy), which later affect other organs like Liver ( with anger and stubbornness, etc.)

With such a theory in hand, we can then focus our attention to do healing to the Kidney Qi / Essense to both autistic children and older people.

Isn’t it important to have a logical and compelling Theory to act upon to get meaningful and effective application in therapy and treatment?

If we operate on the wrong theory e.g. “Anything heavier than air cannot fly” then we can never able to invent and build airplane.

So Lady and Gentleman, what theory do you use to operate on to manage your health, whether it is autism, cancers, Parkinson?

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are elaborated in the video training courses.

“Kidney-qi lays the life foundation upon birth 肾为先天之本” “Kidneys Store Essence 肾藏精” , “Pre n Post Natal Deficiency 先天不足，后天不足”，”Life Cultivation 养生”，”Organs Functionalities 脏腑功能”，

Excessive compassion becomes problems!

Many have hearts ❤ of sympathy to others’ sufferings. What happen if it is excessive sympathy?

When come across a beggar, she feels guilt, feel uncomfortable. She must give some money to the beggar to feel at ease, and to be able to sleep at night, though the sleep is still not at peace.

Many see suffering in the world feel helpless, not able to do much except by broadcasting such news at their Facebook, calling all to pray for them.

As per YEIC, it is considered such people’s hearts are “Heart Deficient and cold”, implying “Qi blood insufficient”.

Often such deficiency arises from lack of love and care during childhood. They project such “lack” onto the suffering people around.

Due to “deficiency” she desires for love and care with great intensity. Whoever gives her a little bit of help, she considers such person committed to love her till eternity. Later, if happen they get married, she holds the ultimate belief that he loves her wholeheartedly, even if he abuses and hurts her badly, until she cannot bear any longer, she may commit suicide. Or, her blind devotion turns into hatred and kills him.

Such described relationship, though different in degree, is not uncommon.

Her dreams are often of sad scenes, with red color scheme, or abandoned dogs, .. or forever in search for something, or in a large empty room.

She prefer cold foods and drinks, and that make her condition worse.

(“Cold / hot is not what is measurable with thermometer, but as Chinese understanding of intrinsic cold or hot)

Whereas for a healthy person with adequate Qi-blood, his reaction to the suffering people is different. He has good self confidence, positively learning new knowledge and skills so as to be able to help those suffering more effectively.

Teach people how to fish and not give them fish.

Autistic child with “Heart Deficiency and coldness” is more withdrawn, hiding in his World of Autism, not able to socialize.

YEIC says “Heart stores Consciousness, 神 Spirit ”, due to deficiency and coldness, the consciousness is unable to operate.

When parents with autistic child learn YEIC, the Life Cultivation, 养生之道，they would give the child more Yang foods, and other therapies to increase “Qi-blood”.

If the parents continue with Western Nutrition Theory, the autistic child’s conditions get worse.

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are elaborated in the online training .

No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it

January this year (2018) I conducted 2-day training on “Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic” to Sibu Parkinson Society. One of the participants invited me to make a write up proposal to introduce YEIC to the next year Work Parkinson Conference in Japan.

I was thinking how to introduce ancient Chinese wisdom to a group of people who are mostly deeply influenced by the Western Education and Western Medicine concepts?

I started a title *[Vital paradigm shift for people living with Parkinson’s]* .

I borrow words from Albert Einstein : “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.”

1817年，Dr James Parkinson identified the illness which later called “Parkinson disease”. Till today there is still no cure to it.

People living with Parkinson have the thinking pattern, just like other patients with difficult diseases, that there is need to constantly search for better medicine and therapy. Some attend conference to seek mutual support. This thinking pattern has existed 200 years since 1817 and still continuing.

I feel that such thinking pattern – in search for better medicine or waiting for better medicine, in itself is a problem.

In the old days, ancient sages make distinction between medical treatment and the Tao of Living, or Life Cultivation.

They place the Tao of Living or Life Cultivation more important than medical treatment. Life Cultivation concerns the whole being, the LIFE itself, not just the health issue like Parkinson. And Life is certainly full of potentialities, which are not fully manifested.

Life Cultivation 养生 is caring for life, 24 hrs a day, 365 days a year. What you do or don’t do? What you eat? Sleeping habits? How you exercise? What thoughts, what emotions, what attitudes towards life, what types of interaction with people, how you care yourself and others and how others love you, ….

Hence I introduce to the World Parkinson Conference organizer regarding the importance of Paradigm Shift, to shift from 200 years old pattern taking this medicine, that medicine, searching for better medicine, doing this therapy and that exercises, taking this nutritious foods, avoid certain foods, today this activities, tomorrow that activities, .. numerous routines, all in fragmented manners, non-aligned.

.. Shift to a holistic and aligned approach : diets intake to ensure proper key organs functionalities, 五脏六腑的功能，qi-exercises to ensure proper qi-movement for better key organs functionalities, thinking, emotions, attitudes towards life to ensure raising to higher consciousness of key organs, as each organ holds different aspect of Consciousness, …

This is a totally integrated healing system.

And that is also the key message from Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classics. And when the 5 key organs functionalities are in good balance, illnesses healed.

Albert Einstein said ：“No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.”

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are elaborated in the online training.
“Organs functionalities 五脏六腑功能”，”Organs Consciousness 五神”, “Medical Treatment and Life Cultivation 医道相通”，“life cultivation 养生”，

Is Medicine the only answer?

In our Chinese WhatsApp YEIC discussion group, when the discussion is on various types of symptoms or sickness, some members often ask ; “Teacher, what medicine should I take?”

This is a general mindset : “Not feeling well or sick, one must take medicine.”

Today we discuss further such concept, “sickness, not well, behavioral problems, …what medicine or therapy should be applied?”

Let us spell out from our head the various questions we often have : “Should one take medicine because of sickness? Should I take medicine for life? In what situation medicine does not really help? ….”

Not long ago, I was watching a video from China, about a famous TCM doctor sharing his experience on “望闻问切” i.e. by “examining the patient, listening to his voice, make some important inquiry, and feeling the patient’s pulse, the TCM doctor is able to determine the sickness of a patient.

A lady from the audience was invited for demonstration, After a few seconds, the lady was surprised the doctors able to tell her often occurred discomfort and sickness, and she quickly asked “Doctor, what medicine should I take?”.

The doctor replied, “I am not teaching you to take medicine. But I will teach you about your diet, and how to function well as a human being”.

As per YEIC, this is considered a first class doctor, who “treats a person, not his sickness . Treat parts that are well.” 上医不治已病，治未病”, “治人不治病”。

But in some cases, surely medicine is needed. How to know the difference?

First, we need to understand the purpose of medicine as per YEIC. If you say it is to cure sickness, then Western Medicine is also to cure sickness. What is the difference?

The ancient sage considers the key purpose of medicine is to help to restore your basic body organs functionalities, e.g. if you have severe asthma, you hardly can breathe, a TCM doctor may use a strong herb to get the Qi-to move, thus restore breathing.

Let me repeat, in YEIC, the purpose of medicine (herbs) is to restore body organs functionalities, 五脏六腑功能。

This concept is very different from Western Medicine, which if there is headache, pain killer is used. If cancers, use medicine to kill the cancer cells, including the healthy cells.

We have heard ancient stories in China, e.g. a poor farmer has a sick child since birth, with severe and constant sickness, many doctors are not able to cure him, and the farmer begs a Sifu in the mountain to take care of the son. The son helps the Sifu clean his residence, follow the Sifu Qi-gong, and follow the Sifu’s simple diet.

Years later, the son gets well and strong, with good performance in Qi-gong, much to the pride and delight of the Sifu. This is an example of “Life Cultivation” (养生), without taking medicine.

The same principle applied. Whether taking medicine (herb) or Life Cultivation, i.e. the Tao of Living, for a long term, restore the body organs functionalities. When body organs functionalities, e.g. heart, lung, liver, kidney spleen, are functioning well, one will not get sick anymore.

Ancient miraculous healer, Sun Simiao, 孙思邈，says : “As a doctor, he must first consider using diet to heal the patient, If diet does not work, consider medicine (herbs)”.

Diet and Herb can restore body organs functionalities “药食同源”. This is what we discuss in details in the 2-day YEIC training.

Especially for autistic child, Parkinson sufferer, or who are in long term sickness, instead on totally dependent only on current medication, Life Cultivation, the Tao of Living is recommended.

In our WhatsApp group, a member due to a fall ten years ago, today suffers much discomfort and pain, after many attempts to try with many doctors, therapists, medicine, … do not help, he is still looking for a pill to cure him. Perhaps he should consider Life Cultivation, the Tao of Living. 养生*，又 *养心❤ 了。

If your today health is reasonable. Life Cultivation helps you to prevent major sickness.

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are elaborated in the online training .

Recovery to health can’t just depend on medical treatments

Today we talk about Five Consciousness. *五神*.as per Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic.

There is this old man, stroke for more than 10 years. Everyday TCM doctor does acupuncture for him.

His wife was formerly an active lady, skill in yoga, likes socializing. Because of the husband’s sickness, she had to forgo all the activities she enjoys.

It is not that the old man is 100% stroke. There are certain parts of the body can still move, e.g. fingers, toes, etc. But he just lies there motionless and expect the wife to attend to him on everything.

YEIC says “Spleen has the function of Thinking and Intention “脾藏意” Intention is one of the Five Consciousnesses.

If there is not strong intention to help oneself, e.g. by moving the fingers, which can facilitate the qi-flow (there are 6 Qi-meridians on the hands), even with the best doctors, Western or TCM, there is little cure.

YEIC also says, “Kidneys Store Will Power.:“肾藏志” Another one of the Five Consciousness.

With”Intention” and “Will Power” e.g. everyday move the fingers, the Consciousness can be raised, the Spleen and Kidneys can gain more functionalities.

In Chinese characters, “Will Power” is ”意志力”.

The first character “意” is Intention. Second “志” is Will. Third “力” is power. Chinese culture incorporates the concepts of Consciousness in Chinese characters.

Intention and Will Power do not come overnight. It takes time to practice and practice.

Today many people are in sorry-ful state. They do not know the knowledge of Life Cultivation. With Spleen and Kidneys-deficiencies, they lack strong Intention and Will Power.

They can easily get defeated in life and get sick often. They should project themselves into the future. Do they want to be like the above old man, not only making his life miserable, but the whole family.

“In order to realise Vision, we need to start Action now”.

Let’s establish a compelling life vision and goal and start learning and practicing the ancient wisdom now.

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are elaborated in the online training

You want your child to have good healthy physical components or Capability to manifest full potentials?

A child has serious skin problem, itchy all over the body, he really suffers a great deal. Furthermore he is hyperactive.

Half a year various medical treatments brought no progress.
Professor Low 罗大伦博士，(Beijing YEIC expert) introduces Chinese Yam (a type of vegetable you can buy in the market) and after the child’s father followed the instruction, the child’s skin problem is solved and not so hyper-active then.

We will discuss the medical theory applied.

We will skip Western Medicine treatment, as Western Medicine treats symptom and not root causes.

Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic (YEIC) says : “Lungs Functionalities manifest through Skin”, meaning skin-problem is related to Lung function. In 5-element model, Lungs are represented by “Metal”, and Spleen represented by “Earth”.

“5-element theory” further says “Earth gives rise to Metal” or “Earth supports Metal”, then only when Earth or Spleen functions are in good order, we can have good Lung-functions, good skin too. In this case, the skin-problem, related to Lung-Functionality-deficiency is due to weak or imbalanced “Earth or Spleen”.

One of the Liver-functionalities is “Easy flow and Spreading out”, and body, limbs movement requires energy or Qi-blood supply to limbs for movement. If Liver-functions are not in balanced, the movement cannot be well coordinated, resulting in hyper-active movement.

Liver is represented by “Wood” in the 5-element. If the Earth is weak or loosened, then the Wood or tree is not stable and move uncontrollably. Again the key problem, or function out of order is the Earth – Spleen.

Weak Spleen causes Skin-problem (Lungs), and causes hyperactive movement, (Liver).

Chinese Yam is administered.
What is the key property of Chinese Yam? The key property of Chinese Yam is to strengthen Spleen, which is the root cause of the above case.

What are the properties and functionalities of foods (Chinese yam) was carefully studied thousands of years ago, unlike Western Nutrition theory which breaks foods down to components like carbohydrate, fat, vitamin etc.

This is how YEIC treats “skin problem, hyper-activeness” as mere symptoms, but look up for key root-cause using the above discussed Theory.

Do you see autism and Parkinson problems have a lot to do with functionalities of Liver and Spleen?

You want your child to have good healthy physical components or Capability to manifest full potentials?

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are elaborated in the video training courses.“5-element theory 五行学说” “Lung equates to metal 肺属金，Spleen to Earth 脾属土，，Liver to Wood, 肝属木”，”Lungs manifest at Skin 肺主皮毛”，”Functionalities of Organs 脏腑功能”，“”Diet and Medicine interchangeable 药食同源” “Words in Chinese are texts from the book YEIC, 3000 years ago.”

Without theories, can we built an airplane?

Why are there often pustules on the face (lips)? (Heat-symptom)

Why pustules at the lips and not nose etc?

Why face often has pimples?

Why eyes are red, especially when angry?

Why wrinkles on the face when we grow older, and not at the feet or butt?

Why during winter, people wrap themselves all over the body with warm clothing, but not so much the face?

Why hairs (on the head) turn white and drop, but not so much hair at other parts of the body?

Why so much money spent on cosmetics and beautification by females, but cosmetic can hardly maintain the desired beauty?

How does Western Medicine explain the above?

Most of the time the explanations are piecemeal, un-connected to each other or just taken for granted.

Ancient sages use a simple concept “Yin and Yang” to explain all.

Head / face are considered Yang with respect to the lower part of the body.

Of all the meridians to the head region, there are 6 Yang meridians, except one Liver-Yin meridian.

Hence the head region is heavily Yang, implies warm or heat. Hence the head / face can withstand winter cold better. At the same time, due to heat, pustules and pimples easily develop.

When one is angry, the Liver Qi rises, YEIC says “Liver energy manifests at eyes”, the eyes turn red without adequate Yin nourishment.

Hairs turn grey and drop due to inadequate Yin sources nearby.

Why pustules at the lips and not nose?

YEIC says : “Spleen’s Opening is at mouth and lips”. When Spleen functionalities are out of balance, pustules as symptoms emerge at lips and mouth, not nose.

What can trigger Spleen / Stomach imbalance? Beside wrong diets, it is over pensiveness, worries. Hence pustules are reminding you to cool down, take life easy..

Why females have difficulty to maintain beauty of the face?

Since the head is a Yang region, it needs a lot of Yin nourishment supplied by Spleen, Liver, Lungs, Kidneys and Heart. But all these organs are easily out of balance due to excessive emotions.

Are you not amazed how ancient sages can use a simple theory to explain various phenomena, with good logic? Yet today modern science still have difficulties.

In fact, Western Medicine also cannot explain logically how Parkinson, Autism, and many other illnesses come about. Yet they can administer medicines and surgery. Funny Ya!

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are elaborated in the online training .

Some common foods can be effective medicine

This is a story of the famous Chinese medicine practitioner Zhang Xichun 张锡纯 during the late Qing Dynasty.

We may not want to be a TCM practitioner, but we wish to understand the theory and principles used as per Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic (YEIC), especially how the body internal organs functions, then we can better manage our health without serious illnesses.

When Zhang Xichun 张锡纯 began to study medicine, he was a teacher and often students came to him for treatments.

One student, 13 years old, suffered from nosebleed four times a day. When the student was diagnosed, Zhang Xichun wanted to know more about whether the student felt internal cold or heat. He asked the students many other related questions and the student could not answer well.

Zhang Xichun reasoned on his own, young boy was full of Yang-energy, and it was summer time. It should be internal heat, and the student was given a cold medicine to balance the heat.
But then nasal bleeding became worse by the day. Zhang Xichun immediately gave the child a warm medicine, the main one is dried ginger plus some other herbs.

Then the nose bleeding stopped. The illness is cured.

Why the warm medicine?

This is because the child’s spleen / stomach were weakened by cold. Then the body lacks Yang-energy. The cold created blockages at the stomach, preventing downward movement of digested foods. The old and freshly digested foods in the stomach produce more fermentation and Qi, which can only flow upwards, with heat and causes nose-bleeding.

Dried old ginger is to warm and unblock the stuckness at the stomach.

What have we learned?

The importance of the mechanics of Qi-movement in the body. And knowing how the body system works (which Western Medicine does not offer such explanation), we can easily treat little illnesses using simple food therapy before the illness gets worse.

Dried ginger, a common food in the kitchen, can also cure diseases. This is the theory “Medicine and Food for Healing 药食同源” which we discuss more at the 2-day YEIC training.

We can also use the learned YEIC principles to observe and help autistic child e.g. in tantrum, determining he has internal heat or cold, etc.

The effective functional operation of the spleen and stomach requires temperature, so the cold diet hurts the spleen and stomach.

Every food/diet has five qi (warm, hot, medium, cool, cold). What is the daily diet of your family and your child?
What daily diet can help strengthen your autistic child or cause family illness?

Can you now make better comparison between ancient Food-Diet System and the current Western Nutrition Theory?

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are elaborated in the online training .
“Qi 气”, “Qi Mechanic 气机 “, “diet”, “Medicine and Food for healing 药食同源”, “Five Qi 五气 (warm, hot, medium, cool, cold) 温，热，中，凉，寒”. .

Special Need Child’s wrongly labelled as behavioral problem!

This is a discussion from the Chinese YEIC (Ancient Wisdom) WhatsApp group. A mother shared the challenges faced with respect to her child.

After a series of Q&A to understand better the overall situation, (which Yellow Emperor’s Inner Clasic,YEIC, emphasizes a lot, to have a holistic view), the following are the information and analysis made.

(words in brackets are info from the mother).

(A special need child, female, 10 years old, extrovert behaviors)

(The child was born a cesarean case)

(Child’s teeth not strong).

(Learning disability. Simple arithmetic she has great difficulty. Self help not disciplined. Forgetful.)

(In early years, she cannot control her urine, Now improve a bit.)

From the above data, analysis is made from YEIC perspectives.

The above indicates Kidneys-functionalities out of balance, or Kidneys-deficiency.

3000 years ago, ancient sages says : “Kidneys manifests in Bones 肾主骨，Kidneys give rise to bone marrow 骨生髓，which gives rise to brain 通脑”，”Kidneys are responsible for inner body irrigation system e.g. urination 肾主水”

These imply, the above mentioned symptoms like learning difficulty (brain problem), forgetfulness, unable to control urination, teeth (bones) not strong, … are all related to Kidneys-functionalities.

YEIC also says ; “Kidneys store Fear” “肾主恐”. Some fetus are sensitive, during cesarean delivery, they might get frightened with all the instruments used. Such fears stored in the Kidneys-cells and manifest in all sort of fear-related behaviors, one of which is urination problem.

(The child gets flu easily since young. Had used Chinese medicines, if not improving, use Western Medicines. )

It is the theory that excessive use of Western Medicines harm the kidneys-functionalities.

(Prefer cold drinks and foods. Sleep OK. Sometimes constipation).

As per YEIC, cold drinks and food are detrimental to the functionalities of kidneys, spleen and stomach.

(This one year, she likes to bite her fingernails.)

(She does not demand much. If she cannot get what she wants, she feels moody but she does not throw tantrum)

(If she sweats, most sweat at the head region).

(Today 10 years old, she can talk more. But still cannot express herself adequately.)

Analysis:

Because of kidneys-functionalities out of balance, and as per 5-element model, “Kidneys belong to Water “肾属水”，Liver belongs to Wood “肝属木”，The theory is Water gives rise to Wood “水生木”，Then Kidneys by-right should support Liver. But Kidneys now are deficiency, cannot support Liver. One of the Liver-function is to control emotions, especially anger and frustration. In the child’s case, Liver is not nourished by Kidneys and she cannot adequately express her emotions and thoughts.

Sweat mostly at the head region, implies Heart is heaty. By theory, “Water controls Fire”, in this case Kidneys Control Heart (fire), but kidney is weak, cannot control the fire and the fire heat up the head regions to produce sweat. (Most people experience headache, dizziness, ..) Excessive sweating at the head , harms the brain, and weaken intelligence and study ability.

YEIC also says : “Liver manifests in tendon, and finger nails, “肝主筋，其華在爪”，爪=手指甲。

Because the child cannot express adequately, and she does not use tantrum “肝主怒?her frustration and anxiety are then expressed by biting nails.

(Mother says the child’s hands and legs not flexible)

Ancient sages observes : Hand and legs flexible imply cleverness “手脚灵活，聪明伶俐”。Cleverness is kidneys-functionalities, meaning the child has high degrees of all 5 major organs functionalities not in balance.

This is the beauty of ancient wisdom, able to connect and explain phenomena in a logical and holistic manner.

I hope we all are more committed to learn YEIC and help to improve the body internal organs functionalities, helping self and children.

As I mention many times before, special need children, eg autism, the problem is NOT the behavioral issues, but the body internal organs functionalities need to be balanced through diets, qi-movement therapy etc.

Western special need children specialists do not know the Chinese YEIC theories, they continue to use Occupational Therapy, Sensory Integration program, Speech Therapy to adjust the children behaviors. We pity the poor children.

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are elaborated in the online training .
