weak stomach in TCM ??

[Guest guest]

good day! i just need advice and opinions for my husband weak and

weird stomach.

His stomach is very sensitive to changes in weather, if he drinks

something cold in the morning or it the weather suddenly get cold then

hot. he's really annoying to go vacation with because he's always

looking for toilet! haha

 

He always immediately *poop* (sorry!) after meals. i mean for people i

know, it doesnt take that fast!

 

He *poops* like 3-4times a day and I eat more than him! The texture is

kinda soft (sorry again!)

 

I mean if I *poop* that much, I would have been losing weight but he

doesn't! he also have a hard time losing weight.

 

just additional info:

he's obese and have high SGPT (otherwise, everything is fine).

Hi Marilyn,

 

I'm not an expert, but I can tell you that I have seen improvements in my

digestive system after my chi master suggested that i don't drink any cold

beverages, no carbonated beverages, or cold foods. Room temperature or hot. I

guess it freezes the chi flow in the digestive system. It took a while to see

results too. Hope that helps.

This comment needs to be encouraged - my father has a thing he says

all the time in differnt ways - of all the things the modern people do

that destroys their health it is eating cold foods - most people would

never admit it and do not even want to think about it - some think it

is silly to worry about eating ice cream - drink cold drinks - etc. In

fact it is one of the number one reasons our Stomach and Spleen become

diseased - and this is the beginning of many levels of disease.

 

Bob Flaws has written extensively on this subject.

 

Most sick people should never eat cold substances including raw food -

this is of course much more important for those with hypometabolic

disease processes. Hypometabolic people should eat and drink

everything at body temperature or warmer. Many hypo people feel they

need salads and raw juices and such foods - but these foods will only

weaken an already weak Stomach. For ill people raw foods are only

suited to those who are hypermetabolic and have false heat then salads

and juices can be refreshing and can cool the body.

This poster has posted this kind of thing before - and every time

reveals her lack of understanding of basic facts of life. She seems

to live in some kind of idealistic world that does not care to deal

with reality as it is instead of the way she wants it to be. This is

no doubt frustrating for her but nevertheless the facts are the

facts.

 

She is shocked by the fact that true medicine has no magic - but

sorry it does not. Natural medicine like TCM has understood all

pathology for hundreds of years - physiological and psychological -

in fact it is a system developed for analyzing all phenomenon. In

China where these concepts are an integral part of society for

millions of people it has no meaning at all because they live

completely opposite to the teachings of they don't know about

it and they don't care about it - in fact like in every developing

society most of the younger people go to the alopaths when they need

medical care.

 

Anecdote: Last week a neighbor came and asked - I am having cramps

from my PMS what should I do - I told her to take some Xiao Yao Wan -

avoid sweets and other water retaining foods and put heat on her

abdomen and lower back - I saw her later in the week and I asked her

how she was doing - she said - Oh I couldn't get into Chinatown so I

took a water pill and a Tylenol -it got a little better. Is someone

to blame here? Am I to blame - is she to blame? Is God to blame? No

one is to blame - that is simply the way it is. Like it or not - and

it is simlpy nieve to say the doctor should have more sensitivity to

the real needs of the patient. I have no control over the false or

the real needs of anyone neither does anyone else.

 

This poster blames the doctor - the doctor blames the patient - the

fact is 'thats the way it is'- is it shocking? Perhaps from some

kind of idealistic perspective it might be sad but only in theory

not in fact - a true physician does not blame their patient for

their disease - neither does the physician blame themselves.

 

Every where I go I see pathology - in most cases it is easy to

understand this pathology - it's etiology and prognosis - but what

does that have to do with me I can not stop it - I have no power

over it. It is like crime - the world is full of policepeople - they

know everything about what people need to do to stop harming other

people but they have no control over that - instead they spend their

time and energy just trying to keep crime and its effects under some

kind of minimum control - in the meantime criminals keep doing the

things they do. This is the position that most doctors are in, in

regard to health issues.

 

Medicine is like every other field of life it has its good side and

it's bad side. Their are frauds and crooks in the medical field like

all others (even religion has frauds and crooks) but medicine also

has genius and compassion - there are great physicians in China

working on deep and important issues in medicine from clinicians to

researchers to medical philosphers - these people work tirelessly

for the upliftment of the science of medicine with a minimum of

compensation. They simply have a deep desire to be helpful in

solving the problems of health. Some of the greatest people I have

ever known have been medical providers. This is why it is so sad to

see people like this poster paint all physicians with her brush of

cynicism. TCM is a science developed by physicians - it is a great

human achievment. But it also has its dark side - all of life is

like that.

 

The poster mentioned something about eating naturally - I have been

lecturing and writing on eating naturally my whole life - my father

is a famous Naturapath - and I was raised in a family that lived

a 'natural' life - and I and my whole family have benefited from

living a natural life - my mother and father at age 87 are both

perfect examples of living a natural life - my father has never had

one day of illness in his life - not a cold or headache - nothing -

my mother like me has had to live a life of compensation because of

genetic weakness in the thyroid gland - but she has never had major

health problems and lives an active dynamic life at 87 - with no

known major pathologies.

 

Unfortuantely this poster does not really understand what a natural

life is and even if she did she would not live it - she already has

told us before some of her compulsions and 'unnatural' addictions

and insisted on her right to live that way. It is correct that all

have the free will to live anyway they like but then when the

consquences of this unnatural life arise it is not fair to blame

doctors because they have no magic pill to get them out of the mess

they have gotten themselves into - a difficult situation that can

not easily be 'fixed'.

 

This sterotypical way of thinking is an obsticle to success. She

wants some kind of ideal doctor - who she describes - to help her -

the fact is most doctors are simply tecnicians and business men

(medicine is a business - a way in which people make their livings)-

not super human healers - most healers are plain otdinary people

doing their best. When most doctors meet the kind of prejudice that

this person exhibits they can only roll their eyes. What to say

about someone who's mind is closed to the depth and breadth of the

profession of medicine - what to say of acknowledging its greatness

and serrvice to the human condition. She can not expect the dctors

here to be sympathetic to her positions - because most of us here

who are health care providers believe in the profession of medicine -

because we know it's value through first hand experience.
