If the sage can foresee the microscopic, can make the good doctor to engage in the flea, then the disease can be finished, the body can also live. The illnesses that people suffer from are
The doctor’s illnesses are few and far between. Therefore, there are six incurable diseases: arrogance and disregard for reason, one incurable; light body and heavy wealth, two incurable; food and clothing can not be treated.
The second does not cure; clothing and food can not be m, three does not cure; Yin and Yang and Tibetan qi uncertainty, four does not cure; shape can not take
The fifth does not cure; believe in sorcerers and not in doctors, the sixth does not cure. If there is one of these, it is very difficult to cure.
Translation.
If a sage knows in advance the illnesses that have not been revealed, and if a good doctor can treat them early, then the illnesses can be cured and the lives can be saved. People are worried about too many diseases, and doctors are worried about too few ways to cure them. Therefore, there are six kinds of illnesses that cannot be cured: a person who is arrogant, indulgent and unreasonable is not cured; a person who values his body and money is not cured; a person who cannot adjust his clothes and diet properly is not cured; a person whose yin and yang are in disorder and whose five organs are not functioning properly is not cured; a person whose body is very weak and cannot take medicine is not cured; a person who believes in witchcraft and does not believe in medicine is not cured. In such a case, it is very difficult to cure.
