More than 80,000 bacteria were brought home from the hospital! 47% of people have the habit of not washing their hands after seeing a doctor.
People should be careful when visiting the hospital. According to a consumer association investigation, up to 82,000 bacteria could be detected on hands after visiting a hospital, which is 600 times dirtier than the toilet.
Moreover, bacteria are invisible. 47% of the people do not have the habit of washing their hands after seeing a doctor, meaning they directly take the bacteria home. If you touched the face or grabbed the food, illness would sneak in.
When walking into a hospital, one touches the stairs’ rails and feels around in the waiting room. No wonder the a large amount of bacteria on the hands. According to a survey, less than 50% of people have the habit of washing hands before and after seeing a doctor.
The survey showed that 48% of people did not wash hands when entering the hospital, and almost 47% did not wash hands after leaving the hospital.
Most of the people who have the habit of washing hands are students.
Therefore, hand washing is a necessary move for protection when visiting the hospital. Correct handwashing could eliminate 99% of the bacteria.
One thing that worth noticing is the viruses brought home from the hospital are generally super viruses, and few antibiotics could kill them.
Because bleach strong disinfectants are used for disinfection in hospitals every day, you can imagine what tough viruses still survive in such environment.
Also, while in the hospital, you are surrounded by various diseases, making it challenging to stay healthy too.
I once heard a veteran TCM doctor talk about curative effect of boy’s urine. He said that in the old days there was a special kind of hooligan, with style similar to ancient swordsmen.
Their method of a duel was very unorthodox: the two parties of the duel would grasp the belt of each other in one hand, hold a wooden mallet in the other, and smash at each other for dear life. The head, face and crotch are forbidden areas.
Wooden Mallet
Whoever starts vomiting blood first will lose; or anyone dodging the mallet, even if slightly.
During the duel, someone would have bowl of boy’s urine on standby, and those who vomited blood would immediately drink it up.
Allegedly this could heal the injury by promoting tissue regeneration, as well as dispersing Qi and stasis, according to TCM theory.
Because of this empirical way of medical practice, many inconceivable drugs and treatments came into being.

When I was a teenager, water accidentally entered my ears while I was diving in a hot summer. Pus started to discharge from my ears in a few days. My grandfather put moxa into a small bamboo pipe, lit it, and blew the fume into my ears. The effusion subsided, scab formed, and the condition healed within only 3 treatments.
Puff Moxibustion
For the neighborhood girl with dysmenorrhea, my grandpa tirelessly boiled wormwood in water, used the water for her foot bath, and supplemented with massage on Baliao, Shenque, Uterus, and Sanyinjiao acupoints. This simple method created immediate effect.

After becoming a TCM doctor myself, once I came across a patient with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), but it was treated as common traumatic injury at the beginning. This disease is known as “nonlethal cancer“, and is extremely difficult to treat.
He had a treatment history of orthopedics in several famous hospitals, and had various exams, such as X-ray and blood tests, yet nothing came positive. During this time he took a lot of western medicines but to no avail.
He suffered from irregular pain, which aggravated during weather changes. When the pain became unbearable, he would go to hospital and take injection of painkiller and antibiotics. The pain lasted for more than adecade.
His doctors said: “This disease is very difficult to cure, and the only option is to keep on treating and taking medications.“
So he took western medicines for 3 years, where he went to orthopedics for examination every month; he also recieved other treatments like plasters. But the pain could only be temporarily relieved.
Plaster
He came to me to give it another shot.I checked his pulse, which thin and no good, neither was his mental state. He was skinny with poor appetite and sleep; his neck was stiff and back painful; he could not move well, and very painful when doing so.
He had a swollen tongue with white and greasy coating, and teeth marks on the edges.
I made a TCM prescription (2 doses for 1 course of treatment), and combined with other treatment including:
Moxibustion– not only on the pain points, but also acupoints such as Dazhui, Shenzhu, Lingtai, Zhiyang, Mingmen, Yaoyangguan, Huantiao, etc.
Cupping
Bloodletting
Moxibustion
Within 2 months, his pain started to relieve, he felt good in 6 months. Now he is almost healed, and needs only a few more times for consolidation of curative effect.

Do you know the phlegm and fat are of the same type in TCM?
Moisture is produced by spleen deficiency. Usually moisture is stored in the lungs.
Moisture is first stored in the lungs, and then morph into phlegm, which fills every alveoli, but the air breathed in by the lungs could vaporize the phlegm and exhale it out of the body. This process is called gasification.
Moisture and fat are closely related, which are both called dampness in TCM. They are also prey of gasification of the lungs. The Lung Qi fills throughout the body; the more abundant the Qi, the faster the moisture is vaporized; When Lung Qi enters the blood, a mixture called ‘Qi and Blood’ is formed, and the more plentiful the Qi and Blood, the more fat can be gasified and burned.
This would help understand a common misconception in weigh loss.
Overweight people generally have symptoms like spleen deficiency and Qi and Blood deficiency. If all body fat within their body are extracted, they will be super skinny. Assume an individual of 140 pounds of body weight, and consists of 70 pounds of fat and the remaining 70 pounds bone, muscle and blood. This is a very weak body, which does not have sufficient Qi to gasify the overwhelming fat.
For overweight people who are physically weak, when practicing a weight loss program that includes both diet and exercises, both of which actually impair the already weak body. This is why these programs rarely work long term and rebound is all too common. If only impairing was done, eventually it would cause more diseases while not much weight is lost. The correct method is to enhance the body while rid the fat, which includes properly regulating the spleen and stomach so as to increase Qi and Blood, thereby enhancing body’s ability to vaporize moisture and eventually ‘burn’ body fat in the right way.
In summary:
First of all, fat is caused by spleen deficiency.
Moisture give rise to spleen deficiency
It is only through combination of spleen invigoration, moisture dispelling, Qi and Blood enhancement, can weight loss be healthy and sustainable.
For people whose obesity is caused by moisture, their weight loss program should start from these three aspects.
