Guest guest Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Question about One Kidney An active patient of mine, an MD, stated " TCM said Kidneys ( Yin and Yang on left and right ) are important in life, if there is no Kid-Yin, there is no Ki-Yang for this how a life is remained in tact with someone with only one kidney? " I have patients living with one kidney, with either with left or right kidney, my patients have not ended… Why ??? What is your analysis ? We removed one kidney from one person and implanted into another, they both live happily. My response : Actually, life source begins at MingMen Gate or Fire, from this emerges or produces Kid-yang and Kid-Yin, then all forms of other tissues, organs and frames, and structure of a body. Kidneys exist in pair such as noses, eyes, ears, lungs, arteries and veins… If this life-source " Mingmen Gate " is ended, life will end, not just one of the Kidneys. Each of these organs or any organs in pair, possesses similar structures or in functioning it has slight differences or specialties in its activities or behaviors for their own locations or their environments. In TCM, they are named Yang because they are seen to have in possessing of more transformation and transportation activities and or filtering activities, and Yin for more storing and nourishing activities, but the two can do or are possessing the same tasks. When one of its partner is gone, the remaining one must do extra work to compensate for the loss of another. Sometimes we see no differences in a normal life of a normal person as we see same activities in a person who had one arm or one leg amputated, the loss of one eye, one ear, one testicle or one ovary. However, in specific job required a man with both arms and both legs, the one armed or one leged will reveal his limit capacity in slower speed or sometimes not proper in others. A man who loses a kidney, an arm, a leg, an eye, or a testicle may appeal normal, but there are actual handicapped within, and in emotional and physical. Mingmen Gate or Fire is without form " invisible " locate at Du4, level with the belly button. It manifests in our breath and takes roots there, not at kidneys. If life is choked off, no breath " no spirit of life entering and existing " , from here, a life is ended. PLEASE HELP ME MORE WITH INPUTS ANYBODY ??? It is not convincingly enough, but this is my best. I need some more inputs. Nam Nguyen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Nam: I suspect your MD " friend " is simply trying to punk you! After all, does the Human organism not adapt itself in both the Western and TCM systems? Is the Kidney meridian/organ not a " system " , a pattern of energetics rather than a bean shaped organ of elimination and blood pressure regulation? Will not Ancestral Qi and Source Qi move to harmonize - to rebalance after the loss? In treating patients with post-surgical " organ omissions " I have found a great divergence in meridian health and point utilization - (i.e. same side meridians tend to show atypical excess or deficiency - yin meridians most likely in this case - and some points working in reverse of normal). However, attending to all scarring resultant from the procedure first, then working a new diagnosis for the now " new patient " can be a tremendous help. Especially if they come to you with a new, seeming unrelated condition - or side effect! Auricular therapy and diagnosis is an extremely helpful addition to traditional methods in these cases I have found. Recent studies suggest the ear is a " primal place " , being one of the first areas formed (external ear canal) in the embrio along with the neural crest. Anyway, don't get caught up in the East/West thing. Personal confidence, skill and results count most. Meditate on patience and stimulate GV 26 next time he/she comes in!! This is just my opinion, so take it for what it's worth!
