Sincewinter 2017 till spring 2018, Fluenza has been attacking millions of people in the America. There were 40,414 deaths in the U.S. during the third week of 2018, the most recent data available, and 4,064 were from pneumonia or influenza, according to the CDC data. The number for that week is expected to rise more reports are sent to the agency.
Why the flu is so aggressive this year? The virus type changes every year, it is hard to prevent, flu shot H1N1 and this year H3N2 vaccine is also applied, but the effectiveness has been dropped from 36% down to 25%, according to the most recent report.
By the treatment of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the traditional herbal formula Cinnamon Twigs Decoction (Gui Zhi Tang) is not working, either if it is combined with other herbs. After scrutinized clinical research, we found the typical virus of this season attacks both our Energy supplier (stomach and spleen) and Defence system (lungs). Before, the virus attacked our defence system only, which means they use “traditional weapons” to attack our borders only, this year they use more advanced “missiles” to attack our suppliers inland as well. Fortunately, TCM has another “Missile Defense System” --NMD: Intensive Moxa and Navel Needling, it is super effective, after one session ( 1 hour), the symptom improve 50%, it takes average 3 sessions to clear all the symptoms, plus necessary herbs to strengthen the effect. In the past two months, among 50 flu patients, the effectiveness has been 95%.
Other key point to prevent from catching flu:
Avoid freezing food or drinks, such as ice water, fruits just get out from refrigerator, etc., it is better take warm food, at least it is room temperature.
Sleeping on time, before 11:00 PM, don’t stay too late, which is again the bio-clock system, and it weaken our immunity.
Take herbs, moxa, acupuncture as prevention regularly, even you are recovered from flu.
Take more fresh ginger in any form, tea, soup , etc.
Case:
Mrs Tien, Female, 82 years old, she lives in Asia, she was sent to ER for ten days due to pneumonia, and she was transferred from one hospital to another in January 2, 2018. After another week, an official notice was sent to her family members, the hospital would give up any treatment, due to her heart failure, kidneys failure, and 3-4 of her lungs were full of fluid, she lost her consciousness for five days.
Remotely, Dr Yang prescribed two herbal formulas for her from US remotely, after three days, she woke up, and now she can eat, walk and talk. The doctors said it was not possible, because all the vitals signs indicated she was dying, but everything reversed!
2017冬天一直到現在，感冒病毒在美國非常強盛，據美國慢性病防禦中心CDC的最新報導，美國每周有4064人被感冒奪命，而感冒疫苗H1N1，加上H3N2的有效率從最初的36%降到25%。感冒的癥狀遷延難癒，平均持續兩週到四週，並且眾多患者反覆感冒。我們以往使用的桂枝湯類藥方也無法解除表癥，這種現象在最少過去十五年間從未發生過。為什麼？
經過仔細診斷分析以後發現，這次的病毒傷害的不光是肺衛之氣，同時也侵襲了肺金之母脾胃土氣，既攻邊陲也斷糧道，真是「技高一籌」啊。但是，感謝中醫始祖們交給我們的以不變應萬變的方法——辯證施治，遂以「固元為主，解表為輔」的思路，針藥並用，大劑量施用艾灸，結果百試百驗，到目前為止，再嚴重的病癥也都是一次見效，三次痊癒，在近兩個月50多例感冒患者中有效率達98%。其中一位是中國洛陽82歲的女性患者，經兩家醫院治療，最後因腎衰，心衰，3/4的肺充滿炎癥和水液而放棄治療，患者昏迷四天，院方已向家屬發出死亡通知，全家人已在準備後事，可是遠距離為她開了兩個方子，大量黃芪人參湯灌服，加上葶歷清肺湯，患者竟然甦醒過來，至今已經六週，患者可以吃飯，下床，走一小段路。患者所在醫院的主治醫師說，「這簡直是奇蹟」。作為20多年的中醫臨床工作者，我充分體驗到了中醫經典思路的重要和寶貴。
道家說：「天有三寶日月星，地有三寶水火風，人有三寶精氣神。」是謂「上藥三品」。
精、氣、神三者，是人的性命之根本。所以〈素問〉上古天真論有「呼吸精氣，獨立守神」、「積精全神」。精氣神雖各有不同之點，而實際上又是一個分不開的整體。例如〈靈樞〉本神篇說：「是故五臟主藏精也，不可傷，傷則失守而陰虛，陰虛則無氣，無氣則死矣。」
五臟有精，精為神之宅，有精則有神，所以積精可以全神。精傷則神無所舍，是為失守。精又為氣之母，精虛故無氣。人無氣則死。精氣神三位一體，不可分離，存則俱存，亡則俱亡。因此，精脫者死，氣脫者死，失神者亦死。故精氣神三者，是人生命存亡的關鍵所在。
有了「精」這個物質基礎，氣才能發揮功用，有「氣」才能維持精的存在和延續，如此才有神的呈現。所以，維繫氣的量是人體生命的根本，這包括操控好氣在人體的出和入是非常重要的，入－飲食，呼吸，練氣，養氣等；出－工作，生活，生理等活動，都會耗氣。耗而不養則虛，虛則百病生。
