I once met a patient who had a very bad cough and was treated in a small hospital, but she was not cured. Later she went to a big hospital, where she took fluids and medicine, but she was still not cured for many days. One of her relatives later referred her to a small TCM clinic, where she was cured after taking a few herbal medicines. She then realized, “The treatment is individual, as long as the patient’s problem can be solved, whether it is a large hospital or a small hospital, or a Chinese doctor that we are not familiar with is possible. A young patient, Yang, 18 years old, got the news that he was admitted to the college entrance examination and was so happy that he went to play ball with some classmates and got sweaty. Thirsty, he drank a large bottle of Coke, so he burped more than once. His parents panicked and sent him to a hospital. The doctor thought it was a stomach problem and asked him to have a gastroscopy, which said it was superficial gastritis. After the examination, the hiccups increased and the medication was ineffective. This is because gastroscopy can damage both the stomach and the esophagus. As a rule, symptoms such as hiccups alone are considered by Chinese medicine to be upward flow of gastric energy. And when the gastroscope is inserted, the subject will experience vomiting and nausea, which is also an upflow of gastric qi. Therefore, the gastroscopy aggravated the condition. After a week of hospitalization, not only did it not get better, but it got heavier. He was hurriedly discharged to another hospital for treatment, but he was unlucky to run into fever again, and the doctor used antibiotics plus infusion for four or five days, but the high fever did not go away. His mother gave him one and a half capsules of Anacin, and the fever subsided and the sweating did not stop. The reason here may be that all the broad-spectrum antibiotics used nowadays kill the beneficial bacteria in the stomach, and the digestive and absorption functions suffer. He couldn’t eat for half a month and was severely undernourished, plus he was sweating too much and his yang energy was injured. The doctor saw that he could not even walk and thought that he was deficient in potassium, and his blood test was certainly low, so he was given an infusion of potassium. He felt difficulty in breathing after infusing half a bottle. His parents rushed to interrupt the infusion. He stayed for another week, but his condition did not improve. Because he had only eaten a little fluid food for more than 20 days, his spirit was already very depressed and he had to be supported to walk. A young man of 18 years old, only because of the excessive consumption of cola, resulting in the blockage of qi flow, as long as the liver can be dredged and qi lowered, will soon be cured. However, the treatment was not effective, and he was getting heavier and heavier. What is the reason for this? Because in some cases, Western doctors do not understand what is meant by Qi blockage. This is supposed to be a functional disease. But Western doctors are looking for the foci of the disease. Some Western doctors sometimes don’t quite understand that patients do tests that exacerbate the condition. One of my patients, at the time of consultation, was pale, did not even have the energy to speak, could only eat a little thin rice without meals, had more than spontaneous sweating, had bad wind, and had frequent hiccups. Such symptoms indicated that the superficial symptoms had not been resolved and the body was already very weak. From the patient’s symptoms, it is good that the superficial symptoms are still present, indicating that the evil has not yet entered the interior. I then prescribed Huang Qi Jian Zhong Tang with Radix Codonopsis, Atractylodes, Dragon Bone, Oyster and Ochre. His health became better day by day. He recovered completely with the addition and subtraction of more than 10 payments of medicine.
