Doctors and Diseases

   Nowadays many diseases exist due to improper intake of medications. Ancient folks called medicines as “poison”. Shen Nong tested hundreds of herbs and classified five grains. Five grains can be taken frequently. Other seasonal fruits and vegetables have properties which can regulate
the body tendency towards changes of weather. As long as not against seasonal changes or consume in large amounts, it will be alright.

    Poison is only used to regulate the Qi tendency in human body and not to be used for health maintenance. The best way for health maintenance is to relax the mind, body and soul.

   A lot of people are not sick. They tend to treat themselves based on their interest with Chinese medicine and knowledge gained from online search. They diagnosed themselves as having weak Qi when feeling fatigue after few days of hard work. Hence made drinks with Huang Qi, Tang Shen etc.

   After a few months, this method becomes ineffective and other methods are being used to treat. In the end, their health is compromised. The most difficult part to treat is the patients’ heart. He or she tends to believe their body is not alright and keep thinking about disease.

    There are a lot of people who went to seek treatment from elder Chinese physician. When the physician told him that his kidneys are weak, he will remember by heart and keep on consuming walnuts, wolfberries etc to rejuvenate kidneys, and becomes totally weaken in the end.

    There are doctors who will offer patients treatment even though the patients are not sick. They will tell the patients that they are not healthy enough and will get certain types of disease in future. So must take certain medications for long term.

    A physician will have a good life by having few such patients. Ironically health is not gained after taking medications.
