The situation of the epidemic is still very serious, and from the current situation, the death rate of patients with severe neocrown pneumonia is very high, and the pure western medical treatment is basically helpless. During the assistance of the medical team of Guang’anmen Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Beijing Xiyuan Hospital at Jinyintan Hospital in Wuhan, the first eight patients cured by Chinese medicine or a combination of Chinese and Western medicine were discharged collectively on February 3. And what is even more remarkable is that six of them are seriously ill patients. Up to now, the number of people diagnosed with the new coronavirus pneumonia has reached more than 20,000, but the number of people cured is only a few hundred. I have not been able to go directly to the front line and touch the patients for many reasons, but this has given me time to sink my teeth into the characteristics of the disease. To fight the epidemic, Chinese doctors have been using universal prescriptions since ancient times, after all, the disease mechanism is basically the same. How to reverse the dilemma in the current critical situation? Western medical treatment currently has no clear efficacy, in which case I advocate basic nutritional support therapy as the mainstay, rather than excessive use of antibiotics and hormones. Because high doses of long courses of antibiotics will either cause Clostridium difficile infections or fungal infections with many tricky problems. In this situation, Chinese medicine must be in the main battlefield, and herbal medicine should be preferred to fight against plague. The successes in history have been that herbal medicine has protected our Chinese nation from prospering and flourishing during plagues, and this epidemic is no exception. This year’s epidemic originated in Wuhan, and the characteristics of the epidemic are as suggested by our academician Tong Xiaolin: Wuhan’s epidemic is cold and wet, and the sweating method must be the first priority for cold and wet epidemics. How to sweat is the best method? Many people will think of hemp and gui agents, and various prescriptions for typhoid fever. But the first thing that comes to my mind is the Ginseng and Poisonous San from the “Taiping Huimin and Pharmaceutical Bureau Formula”. The first is from the ancient records. Although Yu Lin created his own clearing and defeating drink, he respected this Ginseng and Defeating Poison San the most and called this formula the first one for treating plague. The second is the clinical feeling, thanks to our director Bian who is fighting in the front line, he carefully and carefully told me the condition, especially his words gave me a great reminder “the patient is like Bacopa monniera, originally fine, but slowly failing”, this is a typical manifestation of cold and dampness internal trapping. I would also like to thank a friend of mine who reached out to me after reading my article a few days ago, hoping I could help her neighbor, a relatively serious “new crown” patient who lives in Wuchang. This patient was diagnosed with novel coronavirus pneumonia on January 22, 2020, when she presented with a fever (both husband and wife were ill at the same time, the wife’s symptoms were milder). The treatment plan was moxifloxacin plus hormones, etc. The chest CT was fully consistent with the presentation of novel coronavirus pneumonia. The patient’s tongue before treatment The patient had a diabetic base disease, and later the situation became worse and worse. When he found me, he had been feverish for 9 days, with antipyretic drugs used and withdrawn, and fever again, and his body temperature often hovered above 38.5℃, with a maximum temperature of 39.1℃ on February 1, heart rate of 101 beats/min, finger-end oxygen saturation of only 87% at an oxygen concentration of 5L/min (normal people are at least above 95%), self-consciousness He had abdominal fever, coughing and wheezing when he moved, 1-2 watery stools during the night, and 4-5 night rises. On the day of February 1, based on his condition, I decisively chose my well-thought-out prescription for this epidemic, Ginseng Defeat Poison San. The prescription was as follows: Qiang Wu 12g, Dou Wu 12g, Chai Hu 15g, Qian Hu 10g, Hovenia 10g, Mandarin 10g, Chuan Xiong 15g, Ginseng 15g, Poria 20g, Licorice 6g, Chicken Nei Jin 20g, Cuttlebone 20g, Peppermint 6g, Ginger 3 slices, Scutellaria 10g, Radix Panax notoginseng 9g, Huang Lian 8g (Ginseng leaves were used as the local ward did not have Ginseng). The patient was made to take it frequently, 3-4 times/day. I expected the patient’s fever to subside in about two days, but to my surprise, the patient’s fever subsided and his body was quiet after half of the medicine. Under the same conditions of oxygen administration, the oxygen saturation at the fingertips could reach 93% and the heart rate was more than 80 beats per minute. The patient’s tongue after treatment At the follow-up visit on February 3, the patient felt mostly comfortable, with an oxygen saturation of 99, and was about to be discharged. The patient, who was already in a dilemma for western medicine, came out of it. Of course, the main feature after taking this formula is sweating, naturally the evil comes out with sweating, and the rest is to slowly recuperate the momentum. Ginseng and Poisonous San is from “Taiping Huimin and Pharmaceutical Bureau Formula”, and as Yu Lin said, “the first formula for treating plague” is the all-purpose formula for treating all kinds of plague. It is the essence of traditional Chinese medicine to recognize and treat the symptoms. But at this time of epidemic, I can’t help but think about a more efficient and economical approach. In our land, pestilence always appears during war and famine, and there are bound to be countless deaths and injuries, but over the years and generations, we find that there are many ancient prescriptions for the treatment of epidemics. At this time, it is not necessary to be a brilliant doctor, you can add or even subtract a little from this formula, and it will be effective every time and help all people. I have added and subtracted this formula, but as a general drug, I recommend taking: Qiangwu 12g, Dushu 12g, Chaihu 15g, Qianhu 10g, Hovenia 10g, Mandarin 10g, Chuanxiong 15g, Ginseng 15g, Poria 20g, Licorice 6g, Chicken Neijin 20g, Cuttlebone 20g, Peppermint 6g, Ginger 3 slices (I would like to introduce you to the adult medicine, but for some reason no one in the mainland produces (I don’t know why no one in the mainland produces the medicine, but there is medicine in Taiwan.) If you are unfortunate enough to get this plague, there is no need to panic. Those who are older than 45 years old or have a weak constitution are advised to take this formula as soon as possible. If you are confident that your body is stronger and you don’t feel short of breath, you can take Jing Fang Defeat Poison San, which is the above with the ginseng removed and the thorns 10 g and the wind 10 g. If you want to prevent it, you can choose your own prescription according to your age and physical condition. I hope you will be able to deal with your fever as soon as possible and go to the hospital less often to get infected with more viruses and bacteria. If it does not work for two days, it is recommended to seek medical attention near you. Content source: Chinese Medicine Publishing
