Spirituality and approach are important influencing factors in disease recovery

All doctors and all patients should have a common goal: to restore the patient’s health, and to do so with less cost and with early recovery. There are many factors that influence the recovery of patients, including climate, environment, work, living habits, personal constitution, genetics, etc., as well as the diagnosis and medication level of the doctor during the treatment, and the attitude of the doctor will have a certain impact on the patient. These are known factors that affect the recovery of the disease, but of course there are unknown factors that affect the recovery of the disease. Therefore, some patients may experience illnesses that have no obvious cause, especially those with hypothermia, allergies, insomnia, and disorders of the vegetative nervous system. On the home page of my website, there is a message that says, “If you are sick, stay sick, and go away. The body and mind are relaxed, the disease goes away, and the disease is at peace.” This is a small paragraph of 20 words. This paragraph is my personal understanding of the experience of recovery from illness, and this understanding comes from the patients treated in the clinic and my personal feelings (doctors also get sick, people eat grains and cereals, and who can not get sick, and sometimes doctors even treat patients with illness). Because it is not appropriate to have a large text description on the website, this is a brief summary of the words, the meaning of this paragraph is released: “Anyone can get sick, when the disease comes, should be psychologically accepted from the current state of the disease, to avoid mental impatience and anxiety. Make the disease stabilize as soon as possible, and on the basis of stability, look for suitable methods to recover as much as possible. When both the mind and the body are better stabilized, the disease will recover better, or the disease will be in a stable, or relatively slow progress state.” Here are a few examples in this regard for your consideration. A female patient with insomnia for many years, six years ago, her insomnia worsened, she was treated in several hospitals and diagnosed as “depression”, treated with mirtazapine, sulpiride, clonazepam tablets, etc. Since then, she has stopped taking the above drugs due to significant weight gain (about ten kilos). The main manifestation was a significant decrease in ability interest compared to the previous, easy delusions, irritability and irritability, and a variety of physical discomfort, which had a serious impact on work and life. Later, he visited the doctor several times and was diagnosed as “depressive state”, “sleep disorder”, “somatization disorder”, etc. He took levopiridone, clonazepam tablets, nitrazepam tablets, midazolam He has been taking levopiridone, clonazepam tablets, nitrazepam tablets, midazolam, sertraline tablets, venlafaxine hydrochloride extended-release capsules, olanzapine, mirtazapine, lorazepam, diazepam, quetiapine fumarate tablets, zaleplon, haloperidol melitrexin tablets, etc., as well as a variety of proprietary Chinese medicines and herbal medicines, and acupuncture and other treatment methods. Now he relies on drugs to help him sleep, but his life and work are seriously affected, he is physically and mentally exhausted, has difficulty falling asleep, has shallow sleep, wakes up easily, is dreamy and sleepy, and stays awake all night in severe cases. He is dizzy, has dry eyes, headache, drowsiness, and is mentally weak. Forgetfulness, anxiety, depression, good tachypnea, irritability, palpitation and anxiety, weakness, easy sweating, dry mouth, bitter mouth, belching, fever in the abdomen and back, weakness of the waist and knees, little food, abdominal distension, occasional abdominal pain (intestinal obstruction), constipation, once a day, dark red tongue, greasy coating, stringent pulse. I noticed during the consultation that the patient had no significant abnormality in any of the tests, although he was quite symptomatic. Initially, I judged that the worry and fear of the disease and the psychological dependence on drugs were the main problems, therefore, on the basis of the treatment of Chinese medicine, more psychological guidance was given, and the patient was encouraged to take Chinese medicine and at the same time to stop taking western drugs for sleep and sedation in steps. At the beginning of this year, a friend introduced a small patient (a boy in junior high school) who was physically uncomfortable and had a great impact on his daily study, which lasted for quite some time, and had done relevant examinations without finding any organic disease, and could not be identified as a definite disease, but had a great impact on study and life and on the spirit. After my initial diagnosis, I initially judged that the symptoms were due to a lack of physical exertion caused by lack of study activities, lack of exercise, and other factors, which in turn led to mental tension. Therefore, I only prescribed a week of a small decoction of Chinese medicine, and explained in detail that more physical exercise, less activity is the root cause of the current disease, and combined with their own participation through six months of self-training, the completion of the full marathon running experience examples, to encourage more activity and exercise. Once again, I met a friend who asked about the condition of a small patient, who said that after leaving from you, the small patient was encouraged by you to work out and recover his body without taking medication. At the end of 2013, I was taking care of a patient in a hospital ward and felt slightly dizzy and sleepy during the day, and a little bit afraid of cold, and felt cold and shivering at night, when I realized it was a cold and fever. Since I had such an experience in the past, I just added more blankets and the night passed. At the end of last year, I had another such experience, which lasted a little longer. When I returned from work, I wanted to go to bed early, and my wife asked, I said I had a cold and fever, I was dizzy and sleepy, and I said you should feel with your hand to see how much fever there was. She touched for a while and said hurry up and take the medicine, at least 39 degrees (the child at home has a fever, she often touched with her hand, almost no difference with the thermometer). I said I would be fine after a good night’s sleep. When I went to sleep in the middle of the night, I felt dazed and confused, as if the fever had worsened again, and my whole body felt like several forces were tossing and moving, and it was only at dawn that I calmed down and felt no more fever. When I woke up in the morning and asked my wife to feel it again, I also said that the fever was really gone. The above examples show that when a disease occurs in the human body, in addition to diagnosis and medication by a doctor, it is possible to recover better by adjusting the attitude and view of the disease.
