Although there is no rheumatism in Chinese medicine, joint pains are treated as “paralysis”; if muscle impotence and weakness are the main cause, it is classified as “impotence”. In terms of the cause of paralysis and impotence, medical practitioners have often attributed the cause of paralysis to the external entry of evil, which is closely related to wind, cold, and dampness, while impotence is internal, which is related to spleen deficiency and internal dampness and heat. For example, Su Wen? The theory of paralysis says: “The so-called paralysis, each with its own time, heavy feeling in the wind, cold and damp gas also.” “The three gases of wind, cold, and dampness are mixed together and become paralysis.” And in Su Wen? Impotence theory” is proposed “Yangming deficiency is the zong tendon longitudinal, with the vein does not lead, so the foot impotence is not used” “because of the wet, the first as wrapped, wet heat does not hustle, large tendon soft short, small tendon Chi long, soft short for detention, Chi long for impotence”. In addition to the three paralyses of wind, cold and damp, later medical practitioners realized that heat and humidity can also cause paralysis and increase the name of “heat paralysis”, and that impotence can be caused by deficiencies in the liver and kidneys in addition to spleen deficiency. However, the understanding that the treatment of paralysis emphasizes the elimination of evil and the treatment of impotence emphasizes the tonification of the interior still prevails. However, some physicians also recognized that the occurrence of paralysis was related to physical deficiency and the sensation of evil. For example, in Ling Shu? In the “Five Changes”, it is suggested that “those who are rough and not firm in the flesh are good at paralysis”. In the “Golden Killing Essentials”, it is also proposed to treat blood paralysis with Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Tang, which tonifies deficiency and eases the flow of Yang. Other examples include Chao Yuanfang’s “Treatise on the Origin of Diseases”, “The Origin of Diseases”, and “The Origin of Diseases”. Volume I? The wind-damp paralysis body hands and feet do not follow the wait” said: “people coupled with deficiency, then by the wind-damp gas injury, fighting in the qi and blood, blood does not work is not declared, the real evil hit each other, between the muscles, so their skin all pain.” The wind-damp paralysis” also said: “by the blood deficiency, it is affected by wind-damp, and become this disease.” In the Ming dynasty, Li Zhongzi in “The Essential Reading of Medicine? The principle of combining the treatment of paralysis with the support of the righteous and the removal of evil was further proposed by Li Zhongz in the Ming Dynasty: “For the treatment of the outside, the dispersal of evil is urgent; for the treatment of the hidden, the nourishment of the righteous is first. In the case of painful paralysis, the main treatment is to disperse wind and dry dampness, and the main treatment is to supplement the fire. Also.” In the long-term clinical treatment of rheumatism, we found that patients with rheumatism mostly develop due to congenital deficiency of endowment, and their physique is weaker after the disease, even in the acute activity period of rheumatism, there is often a deficiency of positive qi. This is the internal cause of paralysis, which is a prerequisite for the occurrence of paralysis. If the positive energy is deficient, the evil of wind, cold, dampness and heat can take advantage of the deficiency to invade and cause the disease, and if the positive energy is deficient, the internal invasion of evil cannot be dispelled and the disease is lingering and difficult to heal. And to support the righteousness of the time, should understand the righteousness of the birth of the method of support. According to the patient’s physique, or consider the cause of the disease, or to prevent the disease in the future, as long as the root cause is identified, to seize the disease and the main symptoms, to establish the appropriate treatment method, can receive good results. However, the method of supporting the righteousness also needs to identify the evidence and treatment. Xu Lingtai had cloud: “There is the same disease in the world, but the treatment of this is effective, but the treatment of the other is not effective, and not only not effective, but also have great harm, why? The disease is the same and different people, the seven emotions and six feelings are not different, but the people affected by the many different, or body strength, or the nature of the yin and yang, the growth of the north and south, the temperament of the strength and flexibility, bones and tendons have hard and brittle, limbs have labor and ease, the age of the old and the young, the sorghum and quinoa and patchouli of the different moods, but also the time of day have different cold and warmth, the depth of the disease are different, a general treatment is in the condition, but in the human body is very different The opposite, the benefits and harms are also opposite.” Therefore, when clinically applying the Fu Zheng method, attention should be paid to the differentiation of evidence and treatment, taking into account the patient’s condition and physique, taking into account his qi, blood, yin and yang. Blood deficiency should be supplemented with blood tonic, and at the same time should be supplemented with qi tonic to help biochemical, also can prevent blood tonic stagnation; qi deficiency should be supplemented with qi tonic, and at the same time should be supplemented with blood tonic, so that qi is attached, and can prevent the risk of heat and fire due to qi alone, so that qi and blood harmonization. Yang deficiency should be supplemented with yin tonics, because yang is rooted in yin, so that yang has something to attach to, and can be moistened by yin medicine to control the warmth and dryness of yang medicine; yin deficiency should be supplemented with yin tonics, and should be supplemented with yang medicine, because yin is rooted in yang, so that yin has something to transform, and can be warmed by yang medicine to control the stagnation of yin medicine, so as to achieve the purpose of nourishment without greasy. Although the cause of rheumatism is not known, the root of its pathogenesis lies in the disorder of immune function in the body, which has become a consensus in the rheumatism industry, especially the defective cellular immune function and excessive humoral immune function, resulting in immune reactions against their own connective tissues, which cause rheumatism to be prolonged and difficult to heal. Therefore, modern medicine has clearly classified rheumatism into the category of autoimmune diseases, and the treatment also mostly starts from immunosuppression and immunomodulation. Modern medicine believes that the immune system rejects foreign substances through the immune response. A normal immune response that is beneficial to the body can maintain the relative stability of the body’s internal environment, improve the ability to resist disease, resist the invasion of pathogens, play the body’s immune surveillance role, and prevent the body’s cell mutation and the proliferation or transfer of mutated cells. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, this response is only possible when the positive energy is abundant and the yin and yang are in harmony. If the positive energy is weak or the body’s yin and yang are imbalanced, i.e. the body’s immune stability is dysfunctional and the physiology is disturbed, an abnormal immune response may occur, with an over- or under-reaction. Overreaction (also called immune hyperactivity) can be manifested as allergic reactions or various autoimmune diseases; overreaction (also called immune hypo- or immunodeficiency) shows no defense and resistance to pathogenic infections, prone to recurrent infections, chronic prolongation, and loss of immune surveillance to self-antigens, prone to malignant tumors or AIDS and other immunodeficiency diseases. As can be seen, abnormal immune response is what causes disease. A low immune response is often due to low immune function or immunodeficiency, which is of special significance to the rule of helping the righteous in Chinese medicine; a high immune response is mostly caused by dysfunction of the body under the stimulation of antigens, which needs to be suppressed. However, immune dysfunction can sometimes be manifested as a mixed evidence of deficiency and reality, and often need to support and dispel evil, or mainly to support the main purpose of suppressing this excessive reaction. Modern research on rheumatism confirms that its pathogenesis is an abnormal immune reaction disease with excess humoral immunity under the premise of abnormal cellular immune monitoring, so we should choose the treatment principle of mainly supporting the positive and taking into account the elimination of the evil. From the modern concept of immunity, it means identifying “non-existent”, rejecting “non-existent” and preserving oneself. This is basically the same as the role of “positive energy” in Chinese medicine. Modern medicine believes that the immune system has three major functions: defense, self-stabilization and surveillance. The function of defense is to resist various microbial infections, i.e., the role of positive qi in defending against external evil; the function of self-stabilization is to maintain the stability of its own functions, remove autoantibodies against its own normal tissues, exclude interference from exogenous factors, stabilize the internal environment and maintain immune balance; the function of surveillance is to prevent the body’s cells from mutating into “foreign molecules”. Once mutated “foreign molecules” are found, these mutated cells will be removed through immune rejection to prevent tumors from occurring. The body can perform its self-stabilization and monitoring functions. From the viewpoint of immunology, all foreign molecules such as pathogenic microorganisms and tissue cells of the body that have changed their nature for various reasons (i.e. metamorphosed molecules), which are “non-self” substances that can stimulate the body to produce immune self-rejection, can be called The “evil energy”. Therefore, it seems to be considered that the immune response is a “struggle between good and evil”. If the immune system functions normally, the immune response will prevent diseases, but if the immune system functions abnormally, the immune response will be too high or too low. This immune response, also called metamorphosis, can cause pathological changes in the body and lead to immune diseases. When good and evil compete with each other, the positive energy will not cause disease if it overcomes the evil energy; if the positive energy does not overcome the evil energy, or if the evil and the positive energy compete with each other, disease can occur. The above mentioned “positive qi” and immune function, and “positive and evil contending” and immune response, all indicate that the theory of Chinese medicine is very similar to the modern view of immunology. Due to the different historical conditions and research methods, the expressions are also different, but the essence is basically the same. In Chinese medicine, Wei Qi, Yuan Qi, Blood Qi, Lung, Spleen, Kidney and other internal organs’ Qi all belong to the category of Zheng Qi. The so-called “supporting the righteousness” includes benefiting the Wei Qi, replenishing the Yuan Qi, nourishing the Blood Qi, as well as benefiting the lung, strengthening the spleen, replenishing the kidney and other specific treatment rules. Clinical practice and experiments have proved that most of the remedies for helping the righteous have the effect of improving the immunity of the body, improving the immune status of the body and regulating the relative stability of the immune function. The immune response, which is called the process of the struggle between good and evil in Chinese medicine. Evil refers to any factors that can disrupt the immune balance and interfere with the self-stabilizing function of immunity. In TCM, these factors are mainly the six evil spirits, Li Qi, blood stasis, phlegm and other pathogens. Therefore, the so-called “elimination of evil” includes specific treatments such as dispelling wind evil, clearing heat and detoxifying toxins, activating blood circulation and eliminating phlegm and turbidity. Clinical practice and animal experiments also prove that the prescriptions for dispelling evil have the effect of suppressing immune reaction and regulating immune balance. In the clinical application of the method of supporting rheumatism, it is still necessary to take the premise of discriminatory treatment, combine the onset of different rheumatic diseases, their own evolutionary pattern and other characteristics, and summarize the more prominent organ deficiency of different rheumatic diseases, and carry out discriminatory treatment for the disease mechanism. Examples are as follows: rheumatoid arthritis patients are characterized by localized swelling, pain, stiffness and even deformity of the joints, and even generalized multi-joint disuse, but at the same time, they often see fear of cold and cold, white face, fatigue, fatigue, weakness, dullness and loose stools, light red tongue, thin white moss, and weak pulse. The “Jisheng formula” says: “are due to body deficiency, the coup is empty, subject to wind-cold dampness and into paralysis.” Therefore, wind-like Guan is a disease of deficiency and deficiency of the liver, spleen and kidney. The symptoms of wind-cold, damp-heat and phlegm-damp stagnation of blood in the later stages of the disease. According to the characteristics of wind-like Guan, which is characterized by swollen, stiff and immobile joints, the onset of wind-like Guan is especially related to the patient’s deficiency of spleen qi and Yang qi. Patients with polymyositis and dermatomyositis have muscle pain as the main symptom or are accompanied by fever, cough, shortness of breath, palpitations, or rash and joint pain, and their condition is variable and easily recurrent. This disease should belong to the category of “muscle paralysis”, the key to the pathogenesis is due to the first deficiency of spleen qi, spleen deficiency can not transform dampness, dampness is contained for a long time into heat into poison, poisonous heat is contained in the skin, joints or even deep internal organs. Dry syndrome mainly has manifestations such as dry mouth and eyes, joint pain, etc. Its pathogenesis is Yin deficiency, dryness and toxicity, and the origin of the disease should be blamed on the liver and kidney. The pathogenesis is due to congenital deficiency of endowment or Yin deficiency of the liver and kidney, coupled with the suffering of breast-feeding in later life, resulting in Yin deficiency and Blood weakness due to the depletion of fluid and Blood. If the kidney yin is deficient, the liver wood is not nourished and the eyes are dry. If the liver and kidney yin are deficient, the liver yang is hyperactive and burns the lung gold. The normal physiological function of the spleen and stomach depends on the innate support. Insufficient kidney yin makes the spleen and stomach lose nourishment and unable to produce water and grain essence, and the spleen is unable to move its fluid for the stomach, which results in dryness of the mouth and tongue and difficulty in swallowing food. Therefore, Yin deficiency of the liver and stomach is the basis of this disease, and dryness and toxicity are the characteristics of the disease. Ankylosing spondylitis is characterized by pain in the lumbar spine, restricted movement of the two hips, or in severe cases, deformation of the spine or even ankylosis and stiffness; or back pain and a feeling of stiffness and heaviness in the muscles, aggravated by rainy days and after exertion. The disease is due to the congenital deficiency of kidney yang, the loss of temperature in the Governor’s vein, external cold, the combination of internal cold and external cold, cold stagnation, phlegm into stasis. Fourth, the important element of supporting the righteousness also includes the protection of the acquired spleen and stomach The principle of supporting the righteousness in rheumatic diseases is also reflected in the treatment process always pay attention to the protection of stomach energy. The treatment of chronic rheumatic diseases generally requires continuous medication, and a longer period of time, sometimes up to several years, more than ten years, and most of the drugs used to dispel wind, blood circulation, remove blood stasis, clear heat and detoxify the spleen and stomach, improper use, it is easy to corrupt the spleen and stomach, affecting the treatment. Therefore, it becomes one of the important links in the treatment of rheumatism that cannot be neglected to protect the stomach. When treating patients with rheumatism, we must check the strength of the spleen and stomach and the strength and weakness of the stomach. If the patient has symptoms of spleen loss and weakness, such as distension and pain in the stomach and epigastrium, dullness and loose stools, greasy coating, etc., the patient should first regulate the spleen and stomach, or add products that strengthen the spleen, benefit the qi and harmonize the stomach in the formula for dispelling wind and detoxifying heat, so as to make the spleen healthy. The spleen and stomach are the basis of the postnatal period, the source of Qi and blood biochemistry, and the pivot of Qi flow. The Su Wen? It is said in “Yu Ji Zhen Zang Lun” that the spleen is the “central earth, to instill the four sides”. If the spleen and stomach are healthy, the qi and blood are strong, and the qi and blood are normal, then the five organs, six bowels and all the limbs and bones will be nourished. If the spleen and stomach are deficient, lack of qi and blood, and unfavorable qi-transformation, the blood vessels and meridians dry up, and the organs and tissues suffer. If the spleen and stomach are out of order, the four sides will be harmed. Therefore, in the selection of prescriptions and medicines, we carefully consider the selection of flavors to the preparation of drugs, and strive to use the right medicine to avoid harming the stomach and spleen. In short, modern medicine has been in the immune regulation of rheumatism for a long time to explore and research, and our focus is to use the basic rules of Chinese medicine to support the righteousness and eliminate the evil, from the adjustment of the body’s internal positive energy, external avoidance of various disease-causing causes of the evil, the main method of supporting the righteousness of Chinese medicine to regulate the human immune system automatically to a normal and orderly state, so as to control the activities of the disease, I believe that more It is believed that more rheumatism patients will be stabilized and eventually achieve clinical cure.
