Seeking Solution & Seeking Knowledge are two different things!

I am glad to see much discussion among members in the Chinese WhatsApp group, quite a number of discussion is on what treatments and how etc.

It is natural that people eagerly want to get solution due to concern about own or family members’ health.

Let me highlight and elaborate more the many other important questions and thoughts beneath the question on “What Treatments?”

E.g. Question : “How to improve Kidney functionalities as someone has Kidneys-Deficiency”

There are many methods to improve Kidneys functionalities. But not all of them suit the person concerned.

Yellow Emperor says : “Same illnesses different treatments. Different illnesses same treatment.”,

“Focus on the Person and not just on the symptoms”,

内经说 : “异病同治,同病异治”,”治人不治病”。症状只是一种表现,症状背后的病因,病理,是因人而异。

Symptoms are just manifestation of something unbalanced in the body system. And different people has different out of balance body system, though many of them have same symptoms.

The above question implies the person concerned has problem in Kidneys functionalities. But is that really the source of the problem?

Hence more investigation is needed.

There is the possibility that the source of the problem is not Kidney-functionalities but Lung-functionalities.

Yellow Emperor says “Lung is represented by Metal, Kidneys by Water”. And the theory further says, Metal Produces Water. If the Metal (Lungs) is out of balance, then it affects the Water (Kidneys-functionalities).

This is the challenge of due to its theory of inter-connectivity. All parts are not to be separately treated. And many other different parts can affect the part concerned. Hence the philosophy is very different from Western Medicine, which just focus on the particular part and ignore the rest.

Today many TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) doctors seem to practice like the Western Medicine doctors. They also only focus the the symptoms expressed by the patient and do not make sufficient inquiry of the larger picture.

With early discussion, more questions were posed by the members.

Question : “How do I help to bring back the Consciousness of the autistic child? (this refers to the child not able to make eye contact with the mother, not able to engage in a deeper communication on consciousness level).

“My child has sensitive nose, allergic to several things? How to treat?”

I often have to explain again that one just cannot based on an experienced symptom to understand holistically what is happening to the concerned party unbalances?”

Another question : “How can one knows whether the body constituent is Yang-deficiency or Yin-deficiency?”

Body Constituent System is a large topic, (Video training on Body Constituent System is under construction).. The body is more than just Yang or Yin-deficiency, but there are 9 types of Body Constituent.

Hence if I just answer the above question, the person may think there are only two types, which is not true.

Another question : “Under what conditions pineapple consumption is harmful?”

Well these types of question, one can easily Google to find out more. Be aware, you get different answer from Chinese Food System and Western Nutrition Theory.

Question : “My mother, 82 years old, water retention in the lungs, difficult in breathing. Just completed a heart-related problem operation. Medicine taken after operation is causing stomach problems. What foods should she consume now?”

It is sad that old people suffer a great deal with all sorts of illnesses. With operation, Ancient Wisdom considers the True Qi is badly harmed, making the person weaker.

My first reaction is to recommend porridges for the old mother. But that is not sufficient, there are so many therapies can be applied to the old mother.

Besides food therapy, there is also the emotional support, any old negative issues she is holding to heart? Etc. etc. But then will the old lady co-operate? Will the adult children have time and energy and knowledge to administer? These are larger questions need considering.

Not long ago, I have a coaching case of an old mother. Besides many physical discomfort and pain, recently she has bad temper, accuses the son stealing her money, wishes her die soon.

After coaching, I explain to the adult children, whatever maybe the old issues she has, her physiology is going downhill fast.

Yellow Emperor says “Kidneys Store Fear”. As her Kidney-functionalities are deteriorating, she experience a lot of unexplained fear, and she expresses the fear by accusing people around.

Balancing is required to her Kidney-functionalities, not psychology. I recommend adult children to learn Ancient Wisdom Life Cultivation to help the mother.

The adult children do not believe all these ancient wisdom nonsense. They sent me off and continue to bring the mother from one doctor to another doctor, looking for the best cure.

I encourage people I know to learn the ancient wisdom. Life Cultivation must start now, not till older age, otherwise your adult children will also behave like above, with much stress felt, bring the old parents from one doctor to another. All are in miseries.

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are explained in details in the video training.“Same illnesses different treatments. Different illnesses same treatment 异病同治,同病异治.”, “Focus on the Person and not just on the symptoms 治人不治病”, “Metal gives rise to Water 金生水”,””True Qi 气” , “Kidneys Store Fear 恐伤肾”,”Body Constituents体质”。

Can you succeed just by yourself? No need collective contribution?

“Uric Acid is the byproduct of metabolism. A healthy body will discharge such by-products through urine, stools and sweats.

When there is poor functioning of metabolism, uric acid can be generated and give rise to problems like gout, pain in the joints, and with long period of accumulation in the body, many serious illnesses can develop.

A proper functioning of metabolism requires the well-functioning of all the 5 key-organs, not one less.

What functionalities?

Well, foods must be well digested, transformed to nutrients for the body growth and activities. This require good function of Spleen and Stomach.

Lungs and Liver Qi must be able to transport the nutrients to various parts of the body.

Small intestines must be able to absorb the nutrients and send the waste products to the Large Intestines.

And Kidneys must be able to filter the liquids and send the urine to the bladder etc.

We have discussed often, your excessive thoughts and emotions can also affect the above processes.

When any of the above processes is out of balance or not functioning well, we have many signals, including production of uric acid.

Many people, especially those with gout problem, direct their attention to what diets to avoid that can cause high level of uric acids. Hence they spend time, energy and money on control, avoidance, or reduce certain diets etc. Which certainly is tedious and tiring.

With all these efforts, what about what diets to ensure no cancers, diabetes, Parkinson, … ?

Isn’t it more important to focus on well functioning of all the 5-key organs functionalities so as to protect you from all illnesses?

Western Medicine doctor recommends taking plenty of water. This is control and avoidance strategy. It appears the life purpose focusing on gout and uric acid as enemies to be fought or avoided.

Perhaps such life attitude and paradigm should be changed. As per YEIC Life Cultivation, we focus on overall improvement of the body, mind and emotions and good functioning of all 5 major organs. This is holistic approach, there is no enemy to fight.

If we follow the Western Medicine doctor’s advice to take in more water, have we also considered can the kidneys and bladder take this extra burden?

For those with Yang-deficiency body constituent, taking in more water worsen the health condition. Can we afford to take care of one, and harm the overall system?

Life Cultivation 养生 aims to focus on diets that suit different person’s body constituent, the person lifestyle including exercise or not, personality, psychology etc. There is no one-size fits all.

The principles of YEIC are simple, But it takes great deal of learning to acquire the knowledge.

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are elaborated in the online training. “Functionalities of key 5 organs五脏六腑功能”,”Body Constituent 体质”,”Holistic Approach 整体观”,”Life Cultivation 养生”,”Yang Deficiency Body Constituent 阳虚体质”
“Words in Chinese are texts from the book YEIC, 3000 years ago.”

Spread Ancient Wisdom to the Whole World

Ancient Wisdom Today Well Being

In promoting 3000 years Chinese ancient wisdom, Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic, 黄帝内经, which addresses all the major aspects of our life : Performance, Health, Illnesses, Emotions, Psychology, Consciousness, Physiology, I have been conducting training classes and doing one to one coaching to clients with all sorts of issues.

Last month a friend introduced an internet platform Udemy, whereby they have 24 millions students / learners eager to learn something in life, I get very excited with the potential reaching out to the whole world.

I plan to design the ancient wisdom in video training course, module by module.

Just a few days ago, my first video training course was approved. That provides great encouragement to me.

I found some great advantages using video training course. For example, to explain the fundamental concept of Yin Yang, how is the concept used to observe and understand the world and various phenomena, how Yin Yang changes taking place in our body, mind and emotions, how Yin Yang balance comes about to achieve harmony, …. I realize that if I do the explanation in the classroom, I may spent less than 10 min. as there are many other topics to cover in the 1-2 training days.

But in the case of video training, I have the luxury to spend more than 1 hour to bring the abstract concept of Yin Yang to deriving principles and application, and explain in details “What is Qi”? for 1.5 hours

I am now designing the 3rd module.

It is real great fun and inspiring.

You are welcome to listen and watch a few free preview video and study the video course objectives and program outlines.

Dilemma of Western Nutrition Theory

*”Calcium pills raise heart attack risks by 30%”*

This is another conflicting report against some long established nutritious product. Certainly more will come.

This is today dilemma of Western Medicine and Western Nutrition theory.

They have simple brain and naive mind.

They think that when the body lacks calcium then inject your body with more calcium.

Even engineers knows that with all raw materials input, the manufacturing process produces a new product, not give you back the raw materials.

Very silly ya for nutritionist to treat the body system as non-processing.

Suppose a family is unhappy. It appears that the unhappiness is caused by lack of money. So you give them a lot of money. Do you think they attain happiness ever after?

Surely not. Often easily obtained money destroy their life. What is important is the knowledge and skills to generate the required finance by themselves.

Our new Malaysian government sees the problem of NEP now, and they try hard to make progressive changes.

Similarly our body system must have the capability to generate what is good for healthy bone structure.

How does YEIC understand and treat bone related problems?

First of all, ancient sages observe bone weakness (osteoporosis, walking difficulty, joints pain) , memory loss (dementia), deterioration of brain power, hearing problems etc are related mostly to aging. And they all belong to governing power of Kidneys-sub-system.

They also observe that good Lungs and Large Intestine functionalities improve Kidneys-functions.

They also observe that poor Spleen / Stomach system weakens Kidneys functions. Do you not observe the same, aged people have poor digestive system?

The above is governed by 5-element Theory. 五行学说。

So how do we strengthen bone structures. It must be strengthening the overall body system. And by Life Cultivation 养生, ancient sages give us plenty simple and practical methods to improve the concerned problem.

Interestingly by practicing Life Cultivation, you improve the overall quality of your life, not just weak bones problems.

Do you think ancient sages are wiser and more scientific?

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are elaborated in the online training. “5-Element Theory 五行学说”, “Life Cultivation 养生”

Why divide your body into parts to manage?

I am grateful that a Chinese WhatsApp group member shared about the learning problem faced by her child. This provides us an opportunity to learn about YEIC application.

As I mentioned earlier, this platform is not for symptoms diagnosis and treatment, but rather using the discussion to bring up the Theories and Principles of Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic (YEIC), the ancient wisdom.

And the emphasis is Total and Integrated Approach and I use case study (e.g. below) to illustrate further why it is important to understand the Whole rather than some symptoms.

Once we understand the overall concepts and theories, we can better make good observation of various symptoms in our body and link to the overall body system.

The story of the child is constructed after a series of Q&A between me and the mother.

“The daughter is now 14 yrs old. Since 4-5 years old, she has learning disability. Today she hardly knows a few words and cannot write.

She has speech deficiency, and poor expression ability. Her eyesight is OK, urination is OK. Sometimes with constipation.

At 7 years old, the child had shocking experience.

She can take care of the younger brothers.”

To understand the Total Picture, good Q&A is necessary. Today many Western Medicine doctors and TCM doctors, seldom make too much inquiry, except focusing on the symptoms and carry out treatments.

This is very much against the Principles of YEIC, “Focus should be on the person as a Whole, not symptoms.”

Why I ask about the age of the case, as different age reveals different stages of psychological and physiological development. A younger person normally has more psychological and emotional issues, whereas older persons have more physiological issues.

I ask about various performance capability, as different performances are governed by different organs functionalities. E.g. eyesight is related to Liver function, learning with memory are related to Kidneys functionalities.

What are the good performances of the child, then we can deduce what organs functions well.

Although there is no details about how the child was shocked, YEIC theory tells us that Kidney Qi is harmed due to shock or fear.

One of the Kidney functions is related to Intelligence and Learning capability. We can see the connection now that the child past shock and fear experience affects her today learning ability.

The above is just brief way to illustration the application of YEIC theories and principles in our daily life.

Many group members often ask about how to do treatments to certain symptoms or problems. You can realize that this WhatsApp discussion is limited to reveal a more complete picture for understanding. Hence it is not wise to give suggestions on treatment based on partial information.

Furthermore, as discussed in the training class, Life Cultivation to help balance the Yin and Yang in our body system is not apply a single treatment, which will not work well, But it calls for several adjustments and therapies to be carried out together.

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are elaborated in the online training. “Fear harms Kidneys 恐伤肾”,”Liver, one of the function is eye performance 肝主目”,Intelligence and Memory are related to Kidneys and Bladder 肾与膀胱的心理功能在”智慧”,”记忆力”。

What are Key Messages behind diverse symptoms?

Today we have a case analysis, with limited information provided by a group member in the Chinese WhatsApp group.

The following are some of the symptoms : Sinusitis, feel giddy while driving, after meal feel giddy too. Not able to focus and concentrate.

Sinusitis problem since young.

If sinusitis is a hereditary problem then the person concerned should find an effective and complete healing method so as not to pass down to the next generation, not to accept it as it is.

Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic(YEIC) says : Lungs functionalities also manifest at the nose. Lungs and Large Intestines have paired relationship.

As per 5-element theory, Lungs are represented by Metal, and Metal controls Wood (think of metal axe chops wood). And Liver is represented by Wood. Then there is relationship between Lungs and Liver.

5-Element theory, “Earth gives rise to Metal”, Spleen is represented by Earth-element, meaning Spleen nourishes Lungs.

Hence sinusitis problem can be related to nose, lungs, spleen and liver.

We can see that symptoms can be related to more than one organ. Then we need to search for more clues for relationship identification.

For example, with sinusitis problem since young, was the child attacked by cold too often, taking too much antibiotic medicines due to frequent sickness? What diets system used that make worse the situation?

Any stress or pressure from e.g. homework, parents and teachers. Especially autistic children, parents and teachers not only have high expectation but with speed on the various therapies employed. This cause more stress and pressure to children.

Because as per YEIC, emotions, stress, personality affect different organs. Example, anxiety affects the Lungs functionalities, which is relevant in the above case.

Today symptoms as mentioned above, indicate symptoms at childhood not entirely eradicated, coupled with lack of knowledge on Life Cultivation., more symptoms arise.

Sinusitis problem since young indicate Lung-deficiency, which needs to draw more energy (YEIC called Qi-Blood) from Spleen (Earth) . Spleen is supposed to nourish Lungs, but not able to do so, as now Spleen becomes weak.

When Spleen is weak, it cannot produce enough Qi-blood to supply to the brain to do mental work. YEIC also says, Spleen, one of the functions, is Thinking. Now the person concerned cannot think and concentrate well.

As the case is a female, other information is required, eg. how is the period, flow, amount of bloods, any blood stasic?

Because YEIC also says, Livers stores and detox blood. From the period performance, we can also deduce to what extent is Liver functions are affected.

The 5-element theory also provides us as a guide, Metal Controls Wood, i.e. Lungs Control Liver. If Lungs are weak, it causes imbalance to the Liver.

Now we see that, : sinusitis problem is related to the Lungs-function, feel giddy while driving, after meal feel giddy too (related to inadequate supply of Qi-blood from the Spleen and Liver). Not able to focus and concentrate relates to Spleen, with one of the functions, in Thinking.

With good understanding of YEIC theories, we can related various symptoms to the key body organs system and we only need to improve the organs functionalities.

What are Key Messages behind diverse symptoms?

Don’t let various symptoms drive you mad looking for solution to each symptom.

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are elaborated in the online training. “Lungs manifests at Nose 肺主鼻”,”Metal Controls Wood金克木”,”Earth nourishes Metal 土生金”,Various emotions affect different organs 情志(喜、怒、憂、思、悲、恐、驚) 伤脏腑, ”Diet system 饮食” ,”Cold 寒”,”
