我2020年1月23日的預測是對的,半年後的研究表明,醋對對治療和預防新冠狀病毒感染確實有效。翻譯如下。
2020年6月24日,日本大阪大學學者發表文章Virucidal effect of acetic acid and vinegar on SARSCoV-2《醋酸和醋對SARSCoV-2的殺毒作用》指出:5分鍾的時間,4%和6%的乙酸水溶液均滅活了新冠病毒,使病毒滴度低於檢測極限。1分鍾的時間,5%和6%的蒸餾醋滅活新冠病毒,使病毒滴度低於檢測極限。
2020年7月20日,意大利聖拉斐爾生命健康大學的學者發表文章 Vinegar and Its Active Component Acetic Acid Inhibit SARS-CoV-2 Infection In Vitro and Ex Vivo《醋及其活性成分乙酸在體外和體內抑製SARS-CoV-2感染》,說低濃度(0.34%)的醋熏蒸可減輕輕度SARS-CoV-2感染的症狀。比較體溫的37°C,在45°C熏蒸,會增強效果。醋直接應用於COVID-19患者的鼻咽拭子轉移介質時,可導致90%的感染滴度抑製。因此,醋可通過降低鼻腔中的病毒來抑製病毒感染性。通過局部施用稀釋的醋或乙酸抑製鼻黏膜中病毒複製,具有預防或減少下呼吸道SARS-CoV-2感染的潛力,從而減少肺炎的發生以及通常在COVID中觀察到的其他臨床並發症。具有抗SARS-CoV-2活性的化合物可以作為局部殺菌劑,以抑製病毒進入上呼吸道和複製。通過局部治療減少上呼吸道的病毒載量,還可對SARS-CoV-2人際傳播產生重大影響。
其它研究表明,食用醋能夠破壞病菌和病毒的蛋白結構,能夠增加老鼠免疫細胞的計數,降血糖,利糖尿病患者;能夠消除雞胸部和腸壁的脂肪,因而減肥。好處多多,可作為保健藥劑,裝入塑料袋,每天吸幾口醋的揮發物,殺滅呼吸道可能存在的空氣傳播的致病源。
食用醋是通過破壞病菌和病毒的蛋白結構來破壞病毒的複製,具有廣譜性,因而,隻要每天口鼻對著醋袋,深度呼吸幾口,大吉。從此,不必懼怕任何呼吸道傳播的疾病。
蒸餾獲得的純淨醋效果更好,說明醋的殺菌作用是來自醋的自身,而不是其原料成份或者發酵過程中產生的衍生物。
有報道,70%濃度的酒精能夠殺滅新冠病毒,比較酒精的化學結構,醋殺毒作用用該來自氧原子的化學鍵。比較而言,醋有兩個氧原子,所以其殺毒效果更強。 ?

事實已經很清楚,對於新冠狀病毒肺炎的治療,最初幾天是關鍵,不要等待確診,然後再進行隔離治療。請在感冒開始時,進行自我治療。當前的診斷和隔離治療的方法會延遲最有效的治愈時間。這篇文章就是為了幫助大家及時自助治療。
生活不容易; 我希望所有家庭都生活幸福。

引言
首先講一個故事,以展示我寫此文的基本目的。
2020年2月8日,我曾經把此文的英文版貼給 Face Book上的朋友分享:請忘記新冠狀病毒的殺手,拾起人體自身免疫。人類永遠無法跟上病毒突變的腳步。
2020年2月11日,淩晨03:56,在臉書Face Book上,發現我的新加坡朋友在1:24 AM發給我的一個You Tube視頻鏈接。
Bernie Yau POWERFUL STEPS TO COMBAT THE CORONAVIRUS - Dr Alan Mandell, DC
視頻是一個針對新冠狀肺炎的演講,演講者是美國佛羅裏達州邁阿密市曼德爾整脊中心的醫生艾倫·曼德爾博士。
艾倫·曼德爾博士 Dr. Alan Mandell在You Tube視頻窗口的下麵,艾倫·曼德爾博士貼出幾句話:“請不要驚慌!保持健康就要對周圍環境和身體了解。免疫係統是人體抵禦傳染性的有機體和其它入侵者的防禦力。養成良好的飲食習慣,並選擇能增強免疫力的食物,確保我們的身體堅強並能夠抵禦那些入侵者,這一點非常重要。”
在視頻中,艾倫·曼德爾博士說:“這種病毒沒有神奇的治療方法,抗生素作用於細菌,而不是病毒,我們一生要暴露於數百種病毒,如何通過強大的免疫係統保持健康,我教你最好的方法,使你的免疫係統保持強大。”
艾倫·曼德爾博士的演講提醒我們,要治療2019新冠狀病毒肺炎,關鍵不是尋找新的治療方法,而是,努力提高我們的自身免疫力。提高自身免疫也不是必須等到身強體壯,一個簡單的有利於提高免疫力的飲食,就可以快速地達到此目的。就在在幾十分鍾之內,隻要食物被我們的身體吸收,就可以幫助我們抵抗疾病。
2020年2月11日,世界衛生組織通過Twitter宣布國際病毒分類學委員會(ICTV)的決定,把原來暫稱的2019-nCoV新型冠狀病毒,正式命名為SARS-CoV-2(severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2,即嚴重急性呼吸綜合征冠狀病毒2),並認定是2003 SARS冠狀病毒(SARS-CoV)的姐妹病毒。
既然,2019新冠狀病毒命名為 SARS-CoV-2,那麽,我們可以稱2003 SARS冠狀病毒為 SARS-CoV-1,這僅僅是學術遊戲。問題的要害在於,兩次命名的時間間隔已經16年了,時至今日,既沒有針對此病的治療藥物,也沒有疫苗。這個悲劇,證明一個事實,隨著病毒變異速度的加快,以西醫為主的疾病防控模式已經失效。
遲遲找不到有效的治療方法的原因,隻能是疾病的治療走錯了方向。盲目地被西醫哲學機械還原論綁架,一心一意尋找目標殺戮,忽視人體的自身免疫。現在,既然機械還原論已經碰壁,那麽,有必轉向中醫的道家哲學,拾起自身免疫的武器。用美國食品和藥品管理局、歐盟和加拿大法定的食品補充劑來治療疾病。
治療新冠狀病毒肺炎,現在,西醫沒有有效的治療方法。有些西藥有效,但是,不是人人可得。所以,我們必須找到任何人都可以方便得到的治療方法。為此,首先要確定治療方向。
英國新冠肺炎患者史黛西深度昏迷靠呼吸機維持生命,她的家人已經被安排穿戴防護服後,到病房與她最後告訣別。作為最後嚐試,根據經驗方法,醫生將他麵朝下俯臥12個小時,使她的肺部氧氣能夠轉移到血液,史黛西得以康複出院。
西雅圖一名醫生,3月12日,確診感染了新冠病毒,靠呼吸機維持生命,肺,腎髒和心髒開始衰竭。他的同事們認為他隻能在活一天左右。決定給他用一種名為 Actemra的針對類風濕性關節炎的藥物,2017年,該藥被批準用於治療"細胞因子風暴"。在用此藥和其他療法四天後,血氧水平改善,4月5日出院。
可以想象,如果,該醫生在開始時就服用此藥,避免免疫損傷,也許就不會到鬼門關走一趟。
澳大利亞墨爾本大學觀察發現,新冠肺炎患者的自然痊愈過程與普通感冒相似,一旦自身免疫細胞增多,就會很快痊愈。
在中國,純天然中藥組合大批量地治愈了患者。測試發現,在康複者的血液中,已經被病毒破壞的多種免疫細胞增加了,例如淋巴細胞計數和白細胞計數。
許多痊愈的病例都清楚地表明,為挽救COVID-19患者的生命,希望不在殺滅病毒,而在任何可以改善患者身體狀況的方法。那些強調殺滅病毒的或者疫苗,而以不科學的名譽拒絕使用傳統經驗療法的醫學專家,本質上是在協助病毒作惡。
我們必須將醫學的哲學指導從西醫的機械還原論轉向中醫的道家哲學,從尋找殺戮病毒轉向增強人體自身免疫,從而使新冠肺炎的治療走出無計可施的困境,因為,人們隨手可得的醋,蜂蜜和維生素等都具有增強免疫力的功能,而且安全。
複方用藥是中醫的特治獨療方法,將多種天然藥物合為一劑。這個用藥方法的科學性,在西醫的研究中得到證實,複方使用的藥物能夠產生協同增效作用,使彼此的治療作用成倍疊加,副作用減少。即使單一使用沒有療效的食品,一旦複方聯用,就會產生超出常規的療效。
2017年11月7日,文章《植物營養'雞尾酒'殺死乳腺癌細胞》Plant Nutrient 'Cocktail' Kills Breast Cancer Cells 報道,路易斯安那州立大學的研究人員測試了五種已知的保護性化學營養素,它們來自薑黃,大豆,西蘭花,葡萄和茶;如果,單獨應用,他們都對癌症無效。但是,複合使用,能夠抑製80%的乳腺癌細胞的生長,並最終觸發了癌細胞死亡。
2019年9月30日,研究報告《三種常用藥物的組合將果蠅的壽命延長了48%》 triple commonly used drugs combination has extended the lifespan of fruit flies by 48% 認為,聯合用藥可能有助於預防與年齡有關的疾病,其他研究也證明,植物藥聯合使用可產生協同作用,並減少副作用。
1999年10月,文章《德國的植物藥研究》Phytomedicine research in Germany說:多項比較臨床試驗表明,植物藥物與化學藥物具有完全的治療等效性,並且具有避免不良反應的優勢。但是,在許多方麵與合成藥物或單一物質不同,草藥及其提取物製劑的作用機理可以被描述為多價作用,並可以解釋為疊加和、或增強作用。在許多情況下,總體藥理作用和治療功效並非源自單一化合物,而是源自產生疊加協同藥理作用的幾種化合物。
事實證明,天然藥物和人體自身免疫細胞殺滅病毒最有效。因此,不必尋找殺滅病毒的特效藥,轉向強人體自身免疫和利用現有治療方法。
1..治療新冠狀病毒肺炎,10 - 20毫升 5%醋,20毫升蜂蜜,500毫升水稀釋口服,馬上清水漱口,4 - 5次/天,3克維生素C, 6次/天。再加片劑中藥最好,譬如,六味地黃丸,黃芪片,複方丹參片,等等,都會有效。醋也可以在皮膚塗抹,通過透皮吸收,見效更快,效果更好。
對於蜂蜜和維生素C的作用報道很多,這裏僅僅介紹醋的藥理功能,因為,對此有很多道聽胡說。在這裏,我要用事實來更正錯誤的傳言。
2001年4月11日,研究報告《蘋果醋對小鼠某些營養和生理指標的影響》:每天以0.17、0.51和1.02 毫升醋/公斤體重的劑量口服飼喂雌性小鼠,持續4周。所有劑量醋組的小鼠的血紅蛋白、總紅細胞數和總白細胞數均升高。
2018年1月29日,研究報告《蘋果醋可以幫助清除細菌和酵母菌感染》:在24小時內直接在微生物培養物中測試了蘋果酒醋的作用,醋可以通過破壞它們的細胞壁、蛋白質結構、核蛋白和代謝酶來改變其致病生物的結構,阻止有害細菌和真菌的生長,阻止其傳播,從而保護人體免受有害細菌的侵害。
還有其它大膽嚐試的療法。
2020年03月05日,日本用哮喘吸入劑環索奈德治愈新冠肺炎,日本以哮喘藥類固醇吸入劑Ciclesonide治愈了曾經需要吸氧支持的 COVID-19肺炎患者。
在伊朗的一個偏遠村莊,根據老年人的建議,六名患有COVID-19肺炎的患者通過用蜜蜂蜇的方法治愈,這是一個伊朗人在比爾·蓋茨博客文章How to respond to COVID-19的留言。蜂毒具有很多藥理功能。
--- 風蕭蕭 2020年5月9日 於加拿大滑鐵盧市
戰勝2019年新冠狀病毒的解決方案不在於尋求技術突破,而在於擺脫科學或不科學的意識形態的約束。它們是強大的致幻劑,在誤導人們放棄傳統治療疾病的方法和藥物;過度強調尋求致病原及其殺戮藥物,忽視增強人體自然免疫。
--- 風蕭蕭 2020年3月2日 08:06 於加拿大滑鐵盧市
綜合分析各種報道,令我確信食用醋對抗新冠狀病對的可靠性。醋能夠破壞細胞結構來殺滅細菌和病毒,具有廣譜性。在加拿大,醋被用來消毒肉食品生產設備。
根據我自己的經驗,醋能夠立刻消除流鼻涕,消除喉部咳不出的黏痰,減輕打鼾和呼吸暫停。鼻腔和喉部是病毒入侵的通道,醋自然能夠夠殺滅鼻腔和喉部病毒。屍體解剖證明,大量粘液賭賽肺內部的氣管通道,造成新冠狀肺炎患者窒息死亡。醋能夠消除鼻涕和黏痰,自然能夠消除肺內器官的粘液。所以,把醋液蒸發氣體與空氣混合,可以治療新冠肺炎患者。
--- 風蕭蕭 2020年3月1日 17:19 於加拿大滑鐵盧市
2020年2月29日, 中國-世界衛生組織新型冠狀病毒肺炎(COVID-19)聯合考察報告 說,空氣不是新冠肺炎的傳播媒介,患者多為同一家庭成員,通常在感染後5至6天,才出現輕度發熱和呼吸道症狀,多數患者為輕症可痊愈。
考察結果提供了證據,非空氣傳播,家庭成員之間互相感染,5至6天的潛伏期,為我們治療和預防肺炎的發作提供了機會,每天食用適量的醋會很有效。用醋消毒手和用具十分必要。
--- 風蕭蕭 2020年3月1日 於加拿大滑鐵盧市
我推薦的治療方法
1..食物、維生素和中藥
如果,不能獲得下麵推薦的全部,僅僅用食用醋和維生素C就可以,但不是最佳。
食用醋,50公斤體重1克,日2次 (5%濃度的食用醋20毫升,500毫升水稀釋口服,或者塗抹皮膚,透皮吸收)
蜂蜜,20毫升,稀釋口服。
維生素C,50公斤體重3克,日6次,或重症50克,靜脈滴注日一次
維生素 B3,50公斤體重1克, 日2次
維生素 D,50公斤體重5,000 IU, 日3次
黃芪注射液(片),50公斤體重6克,日6次
複方丹參注射液(片),50公斤體重3克,日4次
血府逐瘀湯注射液,(片、粉)50公斤體重3克,日4次
以上維生素與中藥合用。我敢說,對於2019新冠狀肺炎,僅僅用醋和維生素C就可以避免死亡。
食用醋,廣譜殺菌,是唯一能夠內用殺死新冠狀病毒的食物,還有益腸道益生菌群,殺滅腸道有害菌,保護益生菌群最重要。
維生素C,激活和增強人體自身免疫,集聚在免疫細胞周圍,保護它們免於過度自傷引起的多器官衰竭,和消除病毒引起的不適感 – 疲乏,酸痛,食欲不振,等等。
維生素 B3,用小鼠和人類血液進行的實驗,發現,高劑量的維生素B3可使免疫細胞殺死細菌的能力提高1000倍,能夠殺滅葡萄球菌,即所謂的“超級細菌”。免疫細胞自然能夠殺死新冠狀病毒。
維生素 D, 50 000 IU的劑量每天1次,或10,000 IU的劑量每天3次,持續2至3天。感冒症狀可以在48至72小時內完全緩解症狀。從未顯示出毒性。
中藥增強免疫力,保護身體各種器官,恢複身體健康。在2003 和 2019 冠狀病毒肺炎的治療中,顯示出獨特優勢。
50公斤體重,是指所有成年人,沒有嚴格限製。3克維生素C的劑量,用於感冒初期,剛剛感覺有些不適。重症,應該是每公斤體重1克或更多,靜脈滴注。
可以在垂危重症病人先試試。靜脈滴注,幾分鍾就會見效。該治療方法,是從基礎層麵改善人體的生理機能,應該對多數疾病都有效,也包括心理疾患和戒斷效應。
我感覺,醋對食道和腸道有刺激作用,尤其是以膠囊服用,局部濃度過高,可能會造成腸道腫脹,影響消化後食物的排出,因而,以水稀釋食用醋服用最好。
沒有發現用醋做靜脈點滴的報道。醋的刺激性也許會造成血管內壁腫脹,對於毛細血管來說,這很糟糕。這僅僅是我個人主觀臆斷,因為,喝稀釋的醋液,造成喉部不適,食道似乎腫脹。喝完醋水,需要喝水漱口。如果靜脈點滴,更好,但是要有實驗支持。
2..家庭消毒和自製便攜式新冠狀病毒消毒包
有報道稱在家庭門把手上檢測到新冠狀病毒,很多患者是由家庭成員互相傳染,提醒我們要立刻采取措施避免這種類型的感染。家庭成員之間,也要以彼此是感染者來對待。
醋可以通過改變細菌和病毒的細胞結構來殺死它們,是少有的能夠殺死所有病原體的消毒劑之一。在加拿大,醋被用來給食品生產設備消毒。
1.. 自製便攜式消毒包,把浸滿醋的手帕放在塑料袋裏,隨身攜帶。
2.. 用燒沸醋對室內進行消毒,避免共享餐桌和菜盤,個人分別放置消毒的碗筷。
3..用醋擦拭工具和家庭成員容易接觸的地方。
在家裏,在接觸物件前和後,用醋手絹擦手。從外麵回到家,關屋門之後,用醋手絹擦手。
3.. 現在,急需盡快做的事:
1.. 醋的殺病毒的效果,LD50,及其對細胞免疫等生理功能的作用。
2.. 維生素的體外細胞實驗,確定維生素C、B3和D的實際效果和最佳劑量。
3.. 必須把全國所有的與中藥生產有關的企業都動員起來,投入治療新冠狀病毒肺炎藥物的生產。植物藥的生產,是整體濃縮後萃取混合成分。單一成分,雖然有效,但是,不但療效低,而且,還會有合成藥物一樣的副作用。
對於最終成品藥物的組合,藥物的選用,不必考慮涼、熱、虛、實,僅僅根據現代生物學藥理研究的結果,具有增強自身免疫,改善生理功能,LD50安全,就可以加入。品種越多越好,30種,50種,越多越有效。品種越多,協同增效越強,副作用越小。這是實驗驗證的。
維生素的好處是起效快,幾乎立竿見影。中藥的好處是綜合調劑,但是,起效慢。
維生素與中藥連用,用10 - 20毫升5%食用醋,500毫升水稀釋後服藥,然後,清水漱口和咽喉。
除了中藥生產企業,還有那些生產天然植物提取物的畜牧藥和飼料行業,都要加入治療新冠狀病毒肺炎藥物的生產。
2019年8月11日,我寫過文章《謝謝無錫正大王濤 自身實驗 甘草提取物止咳勝過西藥》,無錫正大現存許多可用原料。
重要的是,這些立刻用於臨床和家庭自救,不需要通過審批和臨床雙盲實驗。這一切,都可以做,但是,不是現在。任何延遲食用的做法都是愚蠢的,都是在殺人害命。
上述各項,美國FDA,歐盟和加拿大,都法定為食品添加劑,自由銷售和食用。中國政府必須拋棄一切限製。
風蕭蕭 禮 2020年2月13日 於加拿大滑鐵盧市
不要怨恨新冠狀病毒,它是想告訴人類什麽是公平合理。無論是富人還是窮人,東方人還是西方人,他都同等對待。它平等地攻擊任何人,目的是告訴人類,每個人都必須放棄虛偽和欺騙,轉向務實的自救。
大疫當前,在人類需要西醫的研究成果進行救助的時候,西醫專家們卻舉手投降,暴露其虛偽不實的本來麵目。事實證明,自詡為科學的現代西醫浪費了大量社會資源,進行了許多沒有意義的研究。
請忘記科學與不科學,那是某些人用來騙錢謀生的借口。
請重新拾起被某些人,用不科學的借口瘋狂打擊和排斥的傳統醫學。在中國,許多被傳統中藥治愈的例證,已經證明,古老的傳統藥物才能夠幫助人類自救。中藥與維生素一樣,被FDA、歐盟和加拿大法定為食品添加劑,以OTC自由銷售和食用。
西醫的錯誤,源自其哲學以非人性的眼光看人體為無生命的機械組合,以尋求殺戮為治療手段,也就是沒有把人類當作活生生的有機體來對待。
中醫的道家哲學恰恰與此相反,珍視人體為活生生的有機生命,以恢複人體的陰陽平衡為治療手段。正確的哲學理念,指導中醫成功地拯救生命。
請轉發到您在中國武漢的朋友。
對於2019新冠狀病毒肺炎,僅僅20毫升5%濃度的醋,500毫升水稀釋服用後清水漱口,同時服用3克維生素C,一天5次,就可以避免死亡。關鍵是要聯合服用,各盡一責,協同增效。醋液添加蜂蜜可以減少醋對口腔、食道和消化道的刺激,這種刺激,可能引起腫脹,造成食物在食道和腸道的移動緩慢。但是,沒有危害,這是我自己的切身體驗。
醋能夠通過化學方式改變蛋白質和脂肪的結構來破壞細菌和病毒的細胞,殺死它們,並且是可以安全地內服的食物;具有廣譜性,細菌和病毒一掃光。
我自己的感覺,喝醋能夠立刻消除流鼻涕。有時,喉嚨有黏痰,咳不出。小舌頭被黏住,造成呼吸道堵塞,進而呼吸暫停。我感覺打呼嚕也於此有關。醋能夠減少痰液,因而,也能減輕呼吸暫停和打呼嚕。
已經多年了,睡覺都是側身睡,因為,仰身睡覺會造成呼吸暫停,被憋醒,自從每天使用醋以後,睡覺的姿勢就自由了,任意姿勢,都不會造成呼吸暫停。
我感覺,除了治療感冒,需要快速見效,需要口服醋外,把醋拌入食物,對口腔、食道的刺激較小。盡量晚餐不用醋,因為引起胃腸不舒服,會影響睡眠。
病毒進入人體的第一道關口,主要是喉部和鼻腔,醋液揮發物,能夠消除黏痰和鼻涕,那麽,也一定能夠殺滅冠狀病毒。
對新冠狀病毒肺炎死者的屍體解剖發現,肺組織的支氣管內充滿了黏液,黏液堵塞支氣管氣道。我想,如果呼吸含醋的空氣,對治療新冠狀病毒肺炎有利。
把5%濃度的醋裝入一個小瓶子,經常吸吸氣味,也許有效。或者,用一定濃度的醋液,製作鼻腔噴霧劑,更好。總而言之,勝過合成藥物。
維生素C能夠同時增強和保護自身免疫力的、它一旦被我們的身體吸收,立刻促進免疫細胞運動,增強其吞噬病毒的能力和促進其產生幹擾素。還有,吞噬性白細胞是通過釋放非特異性毒素殺死致病原,在此過程中,也造成自身氧化損傷。如果該損傷過度,將引起多器官衰竭,這就是新冠狀病毒致人死亡的手段之一。維生素C集聚在免疫細胞的周圍,通過抗氧化功能避免免疫細胞的損傷。從而避免多器官衰竭。沒有任何副作用,還可以快速消除流感引起的身體不適症狀。
治療2019年新冠狀病毒性肺炎的關鍵, 不是尋找新療法,而是改善我們自身的免疫力。自身免疫的改善十分簡單,不必等到身強體壯;隻是簡單的有助於提高免疫力飲食,就可以幫助我們快速實現這一目標。隻需要20多分鍾,等吃入食物被我們身體吸收,它的營養成分,立刻增強我們的免疫力,激發我們的免疫細胞對病毒進行反擊。
在這方麵,維生素C是最好的,能立竿見影。
1941年7月26日,馬裏蘭大學細菌學係的 Raymond M. Young 和 L.H. James 發表《腸道微生物對抗壞血酸的作用》Action of Intestinal Microörganisms on Ascorbic Acid,指出,1936年,一位出血性壞血病患者,對富含維生素C的飲食沒有反應;但是,肌肉注射維生素C溶液後,病人很快康複了。表明,食物中的維生素C,在被人體吸收之前,已經被胃腸道中的細菌破壞。
84年前,注射維生素C治愈患者的病例證明,額外補充維生素C至關重要。美國化學家,正分子醫學的創始人之一,用維生素治病和養生的提倡者,萊納斯·卡爾·鮑林與他的太太,每天服用65克維生素C。
西醫合成藥物一直在上演–上市–殺人–退市的遊戲,中藥也有毒害的記錄,但是美國毒物控製中心協會報告說,維生素C導致的死亡為零。我曾經讀過文章,介紹Vc的用量為200克,還有每公斤體重1.5克,安全且療效好。
維生素C是被美國FDA、歐盟和加拿大法定的營養添加劑,可以像食品一樣自由食用和銷售。實際上,中藥具有與維生素C相同的神奇功效,也是被美國FDA、歐盟和加拿大法定的營養添加劑。在2003年SARS患者的治療中,純中藥治療沒有死亡和後遺症。在2019年新冠狀病毒的治療中,中藥也顯示出臨床療效並被納入國家臨床治療藥物。
但是,在2020年2月11日,世界衛生組織網站文章《是否有任何預防或治療2019-nCoV的特定藥物?》Are there any specific medicines to prevent or treat 2019-nCoV? 還在說:“迄今為止,沒有可推薦用於預防或治療新型冠狀病毒的特殊藥物。”該文還指出,不特別推薦將“服用維生素C”“飲用傳統草藥茶”作為2019-nCoV療法,因為它們不能有效地提供保護,甚至可能有害。
在中國,醫學專家也有類似的聲音。我認為,他們都是被西醫所謂的科學所毒害。他們以不科學的名義鄙視和拒絕民間療法和自然藥物。他們認為,隻有經過雙盲臨床試驗證明的藥物是科學的,但是,已經長時間無藥可用,這次無藥治療新冠狀病毒肺炎就是最好的例證。即使有,副作用也會殺人。相比之下,中藥行之有效,也沒有副作用。但是,世界衛生組織卻警告人們“喝傳統草藥茶”可能有害。
2020年2月22日,文章《武漢金銀潭醫院ICU29天,女護士照顧的8個病人5人去世》說,截止到2月22日29天,武漢金銀灘醫院30張病床的重症監護病房,共有18人死亡。 2020年2月17日,著名的神經外科醫生,武漢武昌醫院主任劉誌明教授在50歲時死於感染新的冠狀病毒性肺炎。我敢斷言對這些死者的治療,沒有使用維生素C或中藥的任何一種。
有報道說,某些新型冠狀病毒肺炎患者本來是輕症,但是由於沒有可用藥物抵抗病毒,結果演變成重症被急救,給病人用ECMO(人工肺),費用也相當高。重症的死亡率在50%以上。
無論如何,維生素C和中藥可以避免新型冠狀病毒肺炎患者發展為重症。現在,我們有充分的理由斷言,世界衛生組織和一些西醫專家正在充當SARS-CoV-2殺人的助手,因為他們說服人們放棄有效且方便的自然藥物進行自救。由於是權威的醫療機構和醫學專家,他們極具欺騙性。因此,對於新的冠狀病毒性肺炎造成的死亡,他們負有不可推卸的責任。
在此,我衷心感謝世界衛生組織的專家們為對抗2019-nCoV流行所做的努力。但是,迄今為止,他/她們除了不斷發聲,誤導治療,還沒有實際貢獻。究其原因,是那些專家們,被西醫毒害太深,浸入骨髓,植入腦細胞,在判斷推理功能上被綁架,必須走西醫的尋找殺滅之路。因此,他們,無法清醒地認知西醫的致命缺陷。
被西醫理論滋養或改造的大腦神經元,隻能遵循機械還原論的哲學理念。以科學和不科學對醫療方法進行評判。他們不是努力試驗驗證,而是以詐傳詐,一直迷信海洛因一樣的科學,並努力傳給他人,使很多人上癮,齊聲鼓噪,彼此壯膽。那些被西醫毒害的專家們,用他們認為最科學的方法,敦促好人做最邪惡的事。
西方文明的悲哀在於放任地杜撰了太多荒謬的意識形態,被腦殘智障用來綁架社會治理。
中國工程院副院長、呼吸與危重症醫學專家王辰說,武漢形勢嚴峻,大批患者沒有收治到醫院,在社會上的流動,在家庭中的居住,造成家庭和社區的感染,是疫情加劇的重要因素。
醫院無法全部收治病人的現象已經發生,必須快速找到方便的解決半法,一是方便的治療藥物,二是家庭消毒、三是家庭成員避免交叉感染,四是醫務人員能夠上門服務。
從報道來看,診斷環節是個瓶頸,等候確診不但耗費太多的時間,而且,方法似乎也不可靠,因此,必須在新藥的開發上做文章,不需要診斷,隻要有不適的症狀,任何人都可以安全地服用,而且,必須立竿見影。最新報道的“肺炎1號方”,都治療一個星期了,患者還沒有出院。這樣的藥物,對於治療這樣大量增加的患者,簡直是在開玩笑。
那麽,如何開發有效的藥物呢?現代主導醫學,西醫能夠提供哪些幫助呢?
2005年人類基因組測序工作基本完成,標誌西醫的發展達到頂峰,我們都曾經為此高興,人類可以把疾病連根拔起。可是,興奮過後,發現,這一切,對人類疾病的治療沒有幫助。僅僅是為那些玩學術遊戲的人提供了浪費大量資金的借口,玩的舒暢,收入不菲。而且,這種玩法,把人們疾病治療的方向,引入歧途。
譬如,2009年,美國爆發的H1N1豬源性甲型流感和現在美國的流感以及中國爆發的2019新冠狀病毒肺炎,西醫都不能提供有針對性的支持。與此相反,因為原始和不科學而飽受攻擊的中醫藥,卻展示出令人鼓舞的治療奇效。
這一切,令我不得不從問題的根源,從醫學的指導思想,哲學層麵進行反思。
西醫以機械還原論為指導,視人體為無生命的構件的機械組合,試圖以無限細分的微觀單元來揭示生命和疾病的機理。其治療手段是以開發特定藥丸,殺滅特定致病原。由於病毒的快速變異,這種手段已經很難適應。這一切,來自哲學理念的誤導,它無視人體的自身免疫力和心理因素對疾病的發展的決定性作用。
中醫以辯證整體觀看世界的道家哲學為指導,不但,哲學理念,而且,哲學術語也直接用於醫學實踐。
太極圖表明,道家哲學看世界,無論是宏觀還是微觀,都是由互為依存的對立統一體構成,這些對立統一體,失去一訪,另一方也無法存在。人體也是由彼此互為依存,互相影響的對立統一體組成。人與自然和社會也是對立統一體,互相影響。心理因素對人的健康產生決定性的作用。疾病的治療,三分在治療,七分在調養。主觀上看,中醫的治療是在恢複人體自然平衡。但是,實際效果,是在增強人體免疫力。
現代生物技術研究表明,某些中藥的成分,能夠提高人體免疫力。譬如,增加免疫器官的重量,增加免疫細胞的活力與數量,等等。
據此,我認為,人類戰勝疾病的出路,在於完全不同的哲學理念指導下的中醫、西醫的借鑒與結合。在西醫試圖殺滅致病原的基礎之上,再增加中醫的強化人體的自身免疫。
基於此,根據長期以來的學習的積累和最近針對性的學習,尤其是,用1克醋和3克維生素為自己和家人治療感冒的切身體驗,提出用日常飲食、維生素和中藥聯合治療。下麵照片的藥物,是我的家庭藥箱存放的、被歐盟和美國食品藥品監督管理局法定的營養補充劑。聯合使用其中的幾種,就能有效地殺滅病毒和增強人體自身免疫力,足以鏟除2019新冠狀病毒,幫助人們擺脫患病的威脅和由此引起的恐懼心理.
感謝互聯網為我們提供了足夠的信息,使人們可以通過搜索值得信賴的資料來說服自己。我在做出如此令人難以置信的斷言之前,也曾經懷疑自己,但是,在搜索和閱讀更多文章之後,尤其是,維生素C治愈急症患者的神奇效果,令我振奮,我確信,僅僅用醋、維生素和中藥,就可以治愈絕大多數疾病。
2020年02月08日,文章《新冠肺炎病患為什麽前一天看起來還好好的 才過一天突然離世了?》,說:新冠肺炎有個特點,有些病人頭兩天是比較輕的,突然加重。如果不及時救治,可能就死掉了。這可能跟病人感染導致的“炎症風暴”有關。炎症風暴,就是感染激活了肌體的免疫細胞過度活躍,造成免疫細胞的損傷。正常的免疫是保護,過度的免疫是損傷,不但導致肺的損害,還會引起腎髒、肝髒、心肌等等損害,病人的病情往往會急轉直下,很快都會出現神誌不清、呼吸加快,然後出現血氧飽和度下降,甚至出現凝血功能障礙,少尿無尿,轉氨酶升高,發生多器官衰竭。
文章說,舉個例子,我們肌體被感染了以後,肌體白細胞、淋巴細胞會啟動分泌一種細胞因子。細胞因子就像一個通訊員或傳令兵,把肌體內分布在其他部位的這些備用的白細胞和淋巴細胞都吸引到病灶部位,通過釋放炎症介質來殺死病毒和細菌。這中間,炎症介質適度的釋放是正常,過度的釋放,不僅殺死病毒和病菌,也對正常的細胞造成損害。
根據我的學習,維生素C的最大功能就是當致病原侵入人體時,激活免疫係統工作,同時集聚在免疫細胞周圍,保護它們。這個特點,恰好能預防“炎症風暴”。
西方有很多研究,證明Vc有效。同時否定Vc作用的也很多,這裏麵,有合理的成分,但是,有相當一部分來自偏見心理,這就是,在西醫看來,疾病的治療必須是開發一個藥丸,殺滅一個致病原。這才科學。其它的方法,都不科學。科學與不科學,這種意識形態很有欺騙性。
2003年,中醫治療非典,沒有死亡和後遺症,說明,中藥能有效阻止“炎症風暴”。加上這次中醫治療新冠狀病毒肺炎的效果,都證明中藥能有效地提高人體自身免疫力。遺憾的是,國內的所謂的專家們,還在尋找能夠殺滅新冠狀病毒的中藥,遺憾啊。網上有文章談論所謂專家的意見,Vc無效,害人啊。
自古以來,中醫治病,就是複方用藥,現代研究證明,複方用藥能產生倍增效應,不是單獨作用的簡單疊加,同時消除它們的副作用。還有,即使單獨應用時沒有治療作用的食物,一旦聯用,就會產生驚人的治療效果。這個實例,我在本文特別介紹。
中國是中醫的祖國,但是,也是傳統的中醫理論和實踐的受害者,視野被限製。從中央政府的角度,一直在呼籲把傳統中醫作為物質文化遺產來保護。單就中醫診斷和用藥來說,對行醫者個人的經驗的依賴性太強,不是每個中醫醫生都能很好地行醫治病。中醫的出路在於與西醫結合,用現代生物學和臨床技術分析中藥的藥理和毒理,根據藥物所含成分的藥理,針對西醫診斷疾病的結果來用藥,目標會更精確,治療效果會更好。
2020年2月8日,文章《中醫屢立奇功,抗疫戰爭勝利在望了》,說:中藥方劑的篩選,取得重大進展和突破,其中肺炎一號,和清肺排毒湯,對治療新型冠狀病毒肺炎,總體有效性高達90%。方劑定好了之後,會進行規模化的批量生產,後麵會按照疑似病例預防,普通病例,輕症病例,和危重病例,來進行分類施治,采用古代治療瘟疫的辦法,用大鍋熬藥,一人一碗的方法,來大批量的給每個病人都吃到對症的中藥。可以預見,後麵的每天新增治愈出院人數這個數據,還會繼續大幅攀升。
實際上,“大鍋熬藥,一人一碗的方法,來大批量的給每個病人都吃到對症的中藥”,就是傳統的中醫理論和實踐的危害的最好例證。如果按著現代生物學對中藥活性成分的藥理研究結果和毒性LD50來選擇藥物,會更便捷,更有效。所有藥物組合,都可以加一些大黃,除了增加療效,還可以增加腸蠕動,促進食欲,消除可能的便秘。
單就Vc來說,西方學者的實驗和臨床應用,多是單獨應用,這很不科學。如果,與中藥聯用,Vc的正麵作用將是巨大的。中醫調節人體陰陽平衡,中藥所含的營養也是關鍵,其中Vc就是主要部分。
還有,現代研究表明,是人體腸道微生物,在為我們生產95%血清素,神經元和大多數神經遞質,被稱為第二大腦,這意味著我們可以通過改善腸道微生物來治療疾病,因此,有人稱營養精神病學是精神類疾患治療的未來。
2013年1月17日, 文章《補充維生素C的飼料對豬糞微生物菌群和血液形態的影響》Effect of Feed Supplemented With Vitamin C on Microbial Flora of Swine Faeces and Blood Morphology 報道:將產後6周的小母豬分配到對照組和實驗組中。實驗組以2.5g / 100kg b.w./天的劑量接受維生素C。在服用維生素C 6周後,顯著減少了細菌種類的數量,沙門氏菌棒除外。大多數血液形態元素的數量沒有統計學上的顯著差異。僅粒細胞計數顯著增加,而淋巴細胞數目下降。維生素C抑製病原性腸道菌群的生長,並減少胃腸道中的病原性和相對病原性細菌的數量,顯著促進有益細菌的生長。
腦源性神經營養因子(BDNF)是神經營養家族中的重要成員,BDNF可促進神經係統的發育,維持神經係統的功能,在各種神經的生長發育以及再生中起重要作用。近年來的研究表明,BDNF在抑鬱症及其並發症的診治中發揮重要作用。
2016年,文章《維生素C對健康不活躍青年男性腦源性神經營養因子血清濃度的影響》Effect of Vitamin C on Serum Concentration of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor among Healthy Inactive Young Men:健康不活動的男性,每天服用500毫克維生素C,持續一周。以禁食模式抽取血液樣本以測量BDNF濃度。結果:血清BDNF水平明顯升高。結論:數據表明,攝入維生素C可以增加健康無運動能力的男性的BDNF血清濃度。
1941年7月26日,文章《腸道微生物對抗壞血酸的作用》Action of Intestinal Microörganisms on Ascorbic Acid: 馬林(Marin,1936年)描述了純細菌和混合細菌對Vc的影響:一例出血性壞血病患者,對富含維生素C的飲食沒有反應。但是,肌肉注射維生素溶液後,病人很快康複了。說明,在被吸收之前,細菌會破壞胃腸道中的Vc。因而,注射或者靜脈滴注是必要的。
西醫合成的藥物抗生素,在殺滅致病原的同時,也殺滅人體腸道微生物,更致命。
總而言之,不要忽視Vc,更不要拒絕Vc。如果有時間,請看看我這篇文章,有益無害。我寫的文章,多是英文的,現在,沒時間翻譯。關於Vc的神奇作用。請參照2..維生素的毒性與藥理。
2020年01月22日,文章《抗新型肺炎 醫師主張大量吃維C》說,”化學博士、前台大教授丁陳漢蓀埋首醫學院圖書館八年,研究過去百年來所有維生素C(Vitamin C)相關醫學報告、臨床實驗、治療報告,精選總結數十位醫師、六萬多件病例和阮建如醫師共同著書「維C是最好的藥」指出,「維生素C是最價廉物美、最能防治疾病、最能保持健康的維生素。」他以實際病例指出,流感再嚴重的人,隻要服用足夠的維生素C達到腹瀉,流感在一天之內就可以好轉。”
“丁陳漢蓀表示,維C不但能增強免疫力,且有可能抵抗武漢肺炎,「因為武漢肺炎和之前的SARS,中東呼吸綜合症(MERS)都是冠狀病毒所引起的感染。用維C可以有效的預防及治療。維C是免疫力重要來源。身體裡的白血球是免疫係統中重要的前鋒,而白血球是所有器官中維生素C含量最高的細胞,當白血球在吞噬病毒細箘及其他外來的毒物時,都要消耗大量的維生素C。維生素C供應不足時,白血球不能發揮作用,免疫係統停滯無效,才令外毒坐大形成各種感染的疾病。”
“每天需要多少維C劑量才能有效預防?丁陳漢蓀表示,正常人平均要10克(1克=1000mg)。如果有感冒、感染徵狀出現,就要每隔4小時服10克。維C是十分安全的補充品,完全無毒,可以多服用。如果是重病沒法服用,可用靜脈注射方式補充維C。”
然而,2020年1月28日,有人發文,針對上述文章發難,《大量吃維他命C抗武漢肺炎?連一般感冒預防都有問題》。
我在此文留言,請問林慶順教授,您憑借這麽一點點搜索的信息,就膽敢批評化學博士、教授丁陳漢蓀埋首醫學院圖書館八年,研究過去百年來所有維生素C(Vitamin C)相關醫學報告、臨床實驗、治療報告,精選總結數十位醫師、六萬多件病例和阮建如醫師共同提出「維C是最好的藥」。請問,作為教授,作為學者,您這樣做是否太唐突,那麽,作為膽敢批評他人的飽學之士,您一定有比丁陳漢蓀埋首醫學院圖書館八年得來的方法更好的治病方法,能夠立刻為全世界人民解決醫學難題。如果,您沒有更好的治病方法,那麽,還是請閉上嘴,感謝他人真誠為大眾著想。
醫學實踐已經證明,沒有任何其它藥物能夠具有醋和維生素C這樣的作用,其獨特本性恰好幫助它們與2019新冠狀病毒對決,並殺死它們。
2020年2月7日,文章《武肺第二大省廣東首例死亡個案確診當天不久即不治》說,廣東省55歲男,2月2日出現發熱、輕微氣喘等症狀,2月5日采集咽拭子及血清標本檢測,2月6日,檢測結果顯示陽性,確診為新型冠狀病毒感染的肺炎,當天,病情急轉直下不治。
分析這個例證,如果,死者在2月2日出現發熱、輕微氣喘等症狀的時候,就開始服用醋和維生素C,30分鍾之內,他的病情就會停止惡化,繼續服用幾次,就會痊愈。因為,就目前來說,醋是唯一一個,可以用來內服殺死新冠狀病毒的食物,同時據有廣泛的功能促進身體健康。而維生素C,無論是實驗室研究,還是臨床實驗,都證明,能夠快速激活並增強自身免疫,從而殺滅病毒和消除病毒造成的不適症狀。
2020年2月8日,文章《“肺炎1號方”獲批用於廣東30家定點救治醫院》說,廣東省藥品監督管理局正式同意廣州市第八人民醫院申報的“肺炎1號方”用於全省30家新型冠狀病毒肺炎定點救治醫院臨床使用。在臨床應用中,“肺炎1號方”治療新冠肺炎(輕症)確診病人50例,經過1周臨床觀察,全部患者體溫恢複正常,50%患者咳嗽症狀消失,69.6%乏力症狀消失,無一例患者轉重症。
我認為,肺炎1號方治療輕症患者,經過1周時間,才取得這個效果,還明顯不夠。如果,與醋和Vc連用,僅用三天時間,就能治愈全部患者。
我們需要的是患者在家裏就能自己治療疾病的藥物,而不是必須到醫院,也不需要各種用藥方麵的限製。
現在,我確信,從曆史上看,人類試圖通過尋找致病原,忽視自身免疫的治療疾病的方向是錯的。而道家哲學指導的中醫一直在正確的軌道上。現在,現代生物學技術的研究結果和西醫臨床的實驗效果,都提示一個事實,僅僅用能夠增強自身免疫力的物質,就能夠治愈大多數疾病。也許,不是根除,但是,能夠保證患者獲得具有一定質量的正常生活,譬如,癌症和艾滋病。
我願意為我的建議的實施提供進一步的幫助,現在,在這裏,我要特別為本文可能存在錯誤表示歉意,我太著急了,不能花費更多的時間進行檢查。
更糟糕的是,國內新冠狀病毒的廣泛傳播的壞消息,令我感到筋疲力竭。焦慮令我失眠,失眠令我更加焦慮。眩暈,大腦不能按著我的意願工作。

疾病的治療必須以道家哲學為指導
2019年新冠狀病毒的爆發在全球範圍內引起了恐慌。世界各地的政府和人民都在積極尋求有效的治療方法。
在這個關鍵時刻,人們籍以厚望的世界衛生組織在其官方網站宣布:2019新冠狀病毒是一種病毒,因此不應將抗生素用作預防或治療的手段。迄今為止,無藥物可供推薦用於預防或治療新冠狀病毒。
這是西醫受害者發出的極度絕望的聲音。西醫誤導他們陷入歧途,忠實奉行殺殺殺。以為隻有殺死新冠狀病毒的藥物,才能治愈新冠狀病毒肺炎;忽視人性化治療,無視人體免疫力。
治病困難是世界各國人民共同麵臨的問題,其原因是沒有有效的治療藥物。而這種困境的發生,應該歸咎於機械還原論的機械性,將人體視為無生命的組合體,誤導西醫偏激的實踐。
治療人類疾病的希望在於不同的醫學方法的相互借鑒和整合。作為具有獨立的哲學和理論的兩大醫療體係,如果,西醫與中醫相結合,將形成更有效的醫療手段,能治愈大多數疾病。
為解決藥物短缺之急,我們必須人性化疾病的治療方式,從機械還原論轉向道家哲學,從殺戮致病原轉向促進人體自然平衡。這樣,僅僅用普通中藥和日常飲食就能治療新冠狀病毒。
日本大學最新研究發現,超過110歲的長壽者的血液中T型輔助細胞的濃度高於平常值。是這些免疫細胞在保護長壽者們免受病毒和腫瘤的侵害,幫助他們終生處於非常健康的狀態。
讓我們再看看提高自身免疫的途徑,2003非典型肺炎的治療,中藥優於西藥。一位重流感臥床的波多黎各人,3次靜脈注射50克維生素C痊愈。維生素B3可以增強免疫力達1000倍。
事實很清楚,用於促進人類自身免疫力的人性化藥物的開發在技術上已經成熟,而且,原料豐富且便宜,美國食品藥品監督管理局,歐盟,加拿大都已將它們作為營養補充劑合法化。
但是,這種以促進人體自身免疫力為治療手段的方法,很難被用於臨床。因為,這種治療方式,無視病菌和病毒,蔑視抗生素。這會傷害某些人的自尊,他們會以不科學為名反對。
西方文明的最大貢獻,就是捏造大量意識形態,被用來綁架社會治理。譬如,科學和非科學在扮演邪惡的角色。科學用於證明西藥安全,而非科學用來排斥便宜且有效的民間療法。
然而,科學驗證的西醫對許多疾病的治療失敗了,不僅僅是2019新冠狀病毒,還有那些沒有致病源可供殺戮的疾病。所謂科學的貢獻,就是幫助西藥重複上演 - 上市 - 殺人 - 召回。
西方各種荒謬的意識形態,是戰亂不斷的黑暗世紀的非人類文明的自然產物。作為一個自古人性化治理的國家,中國沒有土壤產生這麽多荒謬的東西,被用來綁架政府混亂社會治理。
中國工程院副院長、呼吸與危重症醫學專家王辰說,武漢形勢嚴峻,大批患者沒有收治到醫院,在社會上的流動,在家庭中的居住,造成家庭和社區的感染,是疫情加劇的重要因素。
醫院無法收治病人的現象已經發生,必須找到方便的治療方法,保證患者能夠居家治療。一是家庭消毒、二是家庭成員避免交叉感染,三是方便的治療藥物,四是醫務人員上門服務。

西醫為何衰落 中醫為何崛起
為了減輕人們的醫療負擔,解救超負荷的醫院,我們必須根據道家哲學的醫學原理,通過增強自身免疫力來治療疾病,從而用日常飲食和天然藥物來生產安全且價格便宜的藥物,使病人可以在家裏自己治病。
但是,好主意很難在臨床上實施,因為,它需要人們接受道教哲學的醫療理念,不是殺滅病毒,而是恢複身體自然平衡。這是難以克服的困難,因為,長期以來,人們已經習慣的治病方法,是尋找致病原進行殺戮,確信這是唯一符合科學的方法。這種意識已經融入了人們的骨髓,令某些人近乎討厭中醫無視病菌與病毒的醫療實踐。例如:
2018年10月1日,《福布斯》刊登文章《世衛組織認可傳統中藥,期待死亡的上升》WHO Endorses Traditional Chinese Medicine. Expect Deaths To Ris,作者是史蒂文·薩爾茨伯格Steven Salzberg,他自稱為約翰·霍普金斯大學Johns Hopkins University的傑出教授。在這篇文章中,這位傑出教授說:
“幾天前,《自然》雜誌上的一個新聞報道說,世界衛生組織,一個致力於改善全球人民的健康和醫療保健的機構,將首次認可所謂的傳統中醫這個“信念體係”。我將傳統中醫標記為一種“信仰係統”,是因為,這就是事實,但是,世界衛生組織竟然將其作為一套醫療體係予以認可。”“正如《自然》雜誌所指出的那樣,中醫藥一直是個騙局。”
“世界衛生組織為什麽要開始推行一套可能危害人們健康的不科學的東西?在世衛組織前任主任陳馮富珍任職期間,對中醫的支持增加了,陳馮富珍一直任職至2017年,並且與中國關係密切。當《自然》雜誌試圖與陳馮富珍博士聯係時,陳博士沒有回答他們提出的問題。”
《自然》雜誌是對人們的醫學認知具有決定性影響的醫學出版物之一,史蒂文·薩爾茨貝格(Steven Salzberg)教授對中醫的認知代表了全球大多數人的觀點,其中包括中國的大多數人。由於史蒂芬·薩爾茨伯格(Steven Salzberg)自我介紹為傑出教授,因而,他說的話將對中醫治療方法的應用產生巨大的負麵影響。
我確信,因為我的觀點與傑出醫學刊物和傑出教授的完全不同,人們將很難相信。為此,我必須進行自我介紹,證明我說的話是來自係統學習。而傑出的《自然》雜誌和傑出的教授恰恰是在道聽途說,或者是主觀臆斷;缺乏最起碼的良知和社會責任感。
我從事金屬材料科研工作,由於科研工作的特殊性,我的大部分工作時間都是在圖書館和實驗室中渡過,因而,有充足的時間用來自由閱讀。科技圖書館的資料也提供了方便。除了金屬材料專業期刊,我的所有業餘時間都用來學習中藥知識,尤其是用現代西醫的研究方法對中藥的有效成分和臨床藥理,以及毒性LD50的研究結果。這其中,也接觸西醫知識,自然免不了對二者進行對比。
根據我幾十年來對中醫藥的學習和中醫治愈疾病的實例,我確信2019新冠狀病毒很容易治愈。不但2019新冠狀病毒,而且其他疾病也可以用像口香糖一樣方便廉價的藥物治愈,唯一需要的是更新疾病治療的理念,或者確切地說是人性化疾病的治療方式,從西醫的冷血殺戮轉向中醫的溫柔調養。
西醫以機械還原論作為哲學指導,看待人體為無生命構件的機械組合,用無限細分人體為蛋白和基因片段的孤立微觀單元來審視生命,用開發一種藥丸消滅一種病原體的模式來治療疾病。
在傳染性疾病的治療中,由於病毒的快速突變,縮短了抗生素的有效市場壽命,並導致越來越高的研發支出,因此,多年前,一些國際製藥巨頭已經放棄了對抗生素的研製。在非傳染性疾病的治療中,更是令人失望,西醫根本無策,因為沒有致病原可供殺戮。
更糟糕的是,西醫的合成藥物不安全,其副作用已成為新的致命威脅。許多合成藥物在上演可怕的遊戲 – 上市 - 殺人 - 召回。
西方文明的偉大貢獻,就是捏造了眾多的意識形態,譬如,科學或不科學,科學被用來證明西藥可靠,而不科學則被用來否定有效天然藥物的應用。如此,嚴重影響了有效廉價天然藥物的使用。
中醫以道家哲學為指導,視我們的身體為情感驅動的有機整體,所有部分都互相聯係並相互影響,包括人類與社會、人類與自然環境之間。一個平衡良好的人體能夠形成自衛係統來抵禦疾病。
因此,中醫的治療不是針對病原體的殺滅,而是針對恢複身體的自然平衡。通過天然藥物,針灸和體育鍛煉等自然療法來達到此目的。
現代研究表明,一些中藥可以提高人體免疫力,例如,增加免疫器官的重量,增加吞噬細胞,NK細胞等的數量和活性。因此,從主觀上看,中醫的治療是調節身體的平衡,但在客觀實踐中,調節平衡的過程,增強了人們的體質,提高了免疫力,從而,通過增強的免疫力來消滅病原體。
傳統中藥的最大優勢在於它的廣譜性,較少的副作用,在一個劑量下具有多種成分應對多個靶標,不易產生耐藥性。因此,中醫中藥能夠治療西醫不能治愈的疾病,譬如,退行性疾病。以尋找殺戮目標為治病手段的西醫西藥無能為力。
2019年,11月15日,文章《世界最長壽的人也許又超強版的免疫細胞》World's Oldest People May Have Supercharged Immune Cells,說:“活到110歲的秘密可能是血液中殺傷細胞多。”“日本大學的最新研究發現,“超百歲老人”(即超過110歲的人)的血液中特別罕見的T型輔助細胞的濃度高於典型值。 這些免疫細胞可以保護最年長的人免受病毒和腫瘤的侵害,使他們在整個生命周期中都處於非常健康的狀態。”
2003年,接受純中藥治療的非典患者,沒有發生死亡和後遺症,為患者提供服務的醫務人員也沒有被感染。而那些用西藥治療的患者,結果恰恰相反。
作為中藥有效成份的一部分,維生素也能夠保護和促進人體的自身免疫機能。
2012年 8月 28日,文章《維生素B3 能夠幫助殺滅超級蟲》Vitamin B3 May Help Kill Superbugs,說,位於美國加利福尼亞洛杉磯希達西奈醫學中心研究發現,在對小鼠和人類血液進行的實驗室研究中,高劑量的維生素B3可使免疫細胞殺死細菌的能力提高1000倍。
可見,以前,我們對維生素的生理功能了解的太少。如今,有了這個研究結果,我們也就掌握了一個能夠高效提高免疫力的武器。
根據我的閱讀經驗,所說的高劑量,似乎沒有嚴格定義,一般來說,應該是每次用維生素2g以上。
分子生物學雜誌,2019年,第34卷,第2期,發表《大劑量維生素C治療流感:報告一例》High Dose Vitamin C and Influenza: A Case Report,一名25歲的波多黎各人,患有流感,躺在床上一周時間,發燒,發冷,肌肉酸痛,頭痛和惡心。醫生上門,為他靜脈滴注50克抗壞血酸鈉,3天共3次。一次滴注後,患者體力改善,頭痛消失。二次滴注後,胃口好,飲食增加,一切回歸正常,治愈,所有過程,沒有發生明顯的副作用。
可以想象,任何西藥治療都不可能取得這樣的結果。維生素C的主要生理功能,還是促進人體免疫。
還有,2003年,接受純中藥治療的非典患者,平均退燒時間為3天,平均住院時間9天。可想而知,如果,當時同時用滴注Vc治療, 患者的平均退燒時間可能為1天,平均住院時間可能不到3天。
複方用藥是中醫的特治獨療方法,將多種天然藥物合為一劑。這個用藥方法的科學性,在西醫的研究中得到證實,複方使用的藥物能夠產生協同增效作用,使彼此的治療作用成倍疊加,副作用減少。即使單一使用沒有療效,一旦複方聯用,就會產生超出常規的療效。
2017年11月7日,文章《植物營養'雞尾酒'殺死乳腺癌細胞》Plant Nutrient 'Cocktail' Kills Breast Cancer Cells 報道,路易斯安那州立大學的研究人員測試了五種已知的保護性化學營養素,它們來自薑黃,大豆,西蘭花,葡萄和茶;如果,單獨應用,他們都對癌症無效。但是,複合使用,能夠抑製80%的乳腺癌細胞的生長,並最終觸發了癌細胞死亡。
能夠達到這個治療效果的,也許隻有化療和放療,但是,它們都無法區別癌細胞,還是正常細胞。在治療癌症的同時,也在傷害身體健康。
路易斯安那州立大學的研究提示我們,全新的治療藥物恰恰來自日常食物和普通藥物的簡單混合,且有益無害。
根據中醫的實踐,開發藥物無需考慮細菌和病毒,無需考慮急性病或慢性病,僅僅考慮綜合改善體能,利用自身免疫就能抵禦各種疾病。用最最簡單的日常食物和天然藥物混合,生產最有效且廉價的藥物,使患者能夠自費和自助治療任何急慢性疾病,從而減輕人們的醫療負擔和緩解醫院的壓力。
我早就開始用日常食物和普通藥物為自己治病了。譬如,用一粒500 mg醋膠囊加4片500 mg 的Vc治療感冒。
由此,我設想治療2019新冠狀病毒的配方:食用醋 + 維生素C + 維生素B3 + OTC中藥片劑。參照LD50毒性實驗結果,確保在應用劑量和長效後果都在安全的範圍。這個配方安全、有效、方便。在家裏服用,不必去醫院。也減輕了醫院的負擔。
1.. 醋:有研究,醋以改變細菌和病毒的細胞結構來殺滅他們,因而,具有廣譜性。此外,還有許多獨特的治療和保健功能。
2.. 維生素C:具有廣泛的增強人體自身免疫的功能,在病毒感染早期,維生素C能促進人體產生I型幹擾素,從而產生抗病毒免疫。同時,能夠消除感冒引起的頭痛和身體酸痛虛弱的感覺。我覺得,對於疲勞引起的乏力、頭暈和身體酸痛也有立竿見影之效。
3.. 維生素B3:使血脂正常化,身體感覺好,例如更多的精力,更快的康複等。2012年,俄勒岡州立大學,加州大學洛杉磯分校等研究證明,維生素B3能提高人體自身免疫能力1000倍。
4.. 中藥:2003年非典型肺炎,純中醫治療,無死亡, 無後遺症,醫護人員無感染。西醫治療,不但死亡,醫護人員感染,大量患者還出現後遺症 - 肺部纖維化和股骨頭壞死症。
這幾味成份,單獨狀態都有醫療保健作用,如果聯合使用,效果會更加強大。
用它們治療的好處是,攝入人體後立刻化解炎症,調節病毒損傷的生理指標回歸正常。隻要患者吸收就能立刻消減疾病造成的不適感,從心理上緩解患者的病情。根據我親身試驗維生素B3的副作用的結果,口服需要十幾分鍾,估計靜脈滴注幾分鍾就能見效。
更重要的是,它們不但不破壞,而且還有益於腸道菌群,現代研究表明,腸道菌群是第二大腦,產生95%的血清素、神經元和大多數神經遞質。可見,保護腸道菌群至關重要。這一點食用醋,維生素的Vc和B3和中藥都能做到。
而大家苦苦追捧的西醫合成藥物,即使是最好的,也隻能殺死病毒,還可能破壞腸道益生菌群。即使有療效,也要等待身體慢慢恢複,不能立刻見效。對於已經被病毒折磨體弱的病人,這個等待也許會致命。
據報道,中國和法國的科學家已經完成了2019年新冠狀病毒的基因測序。大多數人會感到高興,這也確實值得高興,但是,我的看法與多數人不同,有理由質疑,這能夠幫助我們盡快地生產出有效的治療藥物嗎?
還有,即使能夠根據其基因序列開發出針對2019年新型冠狀病毒的合成藥物或疫苗,但是,這些產品很難在所有人身上都起作用,除了致命的副作用之外,還沒有任何健康益處,其副作用,可能以行好的目的殺人。
還有,國內的報道,無論中醫還是西醫,還是在關注找到可以殺滅新冠狀病毒的藥物。
文章《虎老師說評"雙黃連能抑製新冠病毒":做事要有底線》,“1月29日晚上至30日淩晨才做了雙黃連口服液在細胞水平的抗病毒活性測試,為什麽在1月29日通過審核,並且用於病人治療?醫學倫理能夠這樣被踐踏嗎?”“如果想證明這一點,首先要在動物模型上看出效果,這一步就會淘汰絕大多數候選藥物,因為動物是活體,細胞隻是體外培養。然後,要在人體試驗中進行安全性試驗,最後才是在人體試驗中進行有效性試驗。”
中國就是不缺乏聰明人,這個虎老師,估計,既不是醫生,也沒有醫學背景,隻是虎性足,不計後果。按他推薦的玩法,沒有幾年時間,藥物不可能用於臨床,別想治療新冠狀病毒了。
中藥上市,隻要根據每個單獨成分的LD50毒性數據判斷就可以了。如果,沒有有毒成分,就不會產生毒性風險。而且,多位藥物合劑,毒副作用還會降低,整體療效還會上升。
雙盲臨床實驗,其實是來自中國祖先,中醫認為,三分治,七分養。這個養,就是心理自療,是在強調心理因素對健康的作用。直到上個世紀50年代,西醫亨利·比徹(Henry K. Beecher)發表《強大的安慰劑》(The Powerful Placebo,1955年)說,沒有藥物的安慰劑,取得了50-60%的臨床治愈率。
後來,美國藥品管理局,龜腚,藥物上市,必須有雙盲臨床實驗的數據支持,就是,設一組患者作為欺騙對象,告訴他們,給他們吃的是藥物,其實是清水、或澱粉,總之沒有任何藥物。另一組,用新開發的藥物的副作用進行傷害,然後,對比療效。藥物組的治愈率,必須超過安慰劑組。很多西藥失敗在這個環節。因為其療效不如安慰劑。即使僥幸合格上市,其療效比安慰劑強不了多少、而且,副作用殺人。一直在上演 - 上市 - 殺人 - 退市。
2008年,1月8日,文章《報告:壓力導致一切》Report: Stress Causes Everything:“坦率地說,壓力對您不利。實際上,它可以殺死您。一項跨心理學,醫學,神經科學和遺傳學等學科的研究表明,心理壓力會導致從牙齦到心髒的所有器官的惡化,並使您更容易患上普通感冒和癌症。”
中藥和維生素,在很大程度上,是在生理層麵消除心理壓力對身體的傷害。譬如,維生素C可以消除疾病造成的心理焦慮、倦怠、腰酸背痛、虛弱無力。上述被感冒擊倒的25歲的波多黎各人,滴注50克維生素C ,立刻緩節虛弱狀態,恢複了食欲和體能。
請不要繼續沉迷於開發神奇的藥丸來殺死細菌和病毒。自身免疫才是可以殺死任何細菌和病毒的最佳助手。
而且,求助該助手高效地為我們工作的方法既簡單又價廉,借助便宜的天然中藥與大劑量的維生素C和B3組合(多位藥放在一起合用是關鍵所在)就可以。無論是口服還是靜脈注射,在30分鍾內,大多數患者的不適症狀將開始緩解,並逐漸消失,經數次給藥後,患者能夠在三到五天內走出醫院。
與人類麵臨的其它困境相同,醫療困境也是來自社會治理被愚昧綁架,令某些人的貪婪行為橫行無阻,驅使醫療活動過度商業化,簡單、有效,便宜的治療方法被惡意貶低摒棄。用虛假輿論誘導、迫使人們接受越來越昂貴的合成藥物,被迫參與上演–上市–殺人 - 召回的悲劇。
我的上述論斷,有無可否認的證據,便宜的正分子醫學的創始人和倡導者艾布拉姆·霍弗(Abram Hoffer)博士,萊納斯·鮑林(Linus Pauling)博士及其他們追隨者,都遭受了輿論的惡意攻擊,並拒絕為他們申請的臨床試驗的提供資助。顯然,這不是一個簡單的學術爭議,而是人類貪婪的本能驅使的行為,是有目的地消滅廉價藥物的開發。
曆史上,曾經發生過多次企圖廢止中醫的運動,直到今天,還有人在攻擊中醫。這其中,很多人,既不是中醫學者,也沒有醫學背景。
請看看加拿大全民醫療保健的現實。2020年1月22日,CBC新聞報道了安大略省所有169所急診醫院,在過去6個月的擁擠情況。有的患者,隻能住在會議室,或者走廊。
有30多天的時間,83家醫院的需要住院的患者超過了100%。
至少有一天,39家醫院的需要住院的患者達到120%或更高。
有40家醫院需要住院的患者的數量平均為100%或更高。
人們可以用各種理由對醫療狀況進行抱怨,並得到了充分的理由來抨擊政府。但是,很少有人會想到最基本的原因,是沒有有效的藥物,及時地治愈患者,人為地拒絕已經存在了半個多世紀的便宜有效的治療方法,那就是正分子醫學和中醫藥。
現在希望來了,在2019新冠狀病毒的無區別對待的威脅下,官員和醫生將不得不接受舊的醫療方法。假設人們能夠使用中藥和維生素組合進行治療,那麽,無論是急性病,還是慢性病的患者,都會很少再去看醫生,而在安大略省醫院中擁擠的患者,都可以很快回到自己的家中。以後自我治療,再也不去醫院。
可以考慮以我提出的配方為基礎,進一步臨床改良,製成片劑,患者可以方便地使用。
希望借助2019新冠狀病毒引起全世界人民恐慌之際,此文能夠幫助人們重新審視並擺脫醫療實踐的荒謬,從哲學的基礎層麵回歸正確的、人性化的醫學道路。

武漢政府網站的回複實在令人失望。不過感謝互聯網,坐在家裏,就容易找到快捷通道。
在上述組方,再增加維生素B3, 每50公斤體重1g, 日2次。把注射液改為同等劑量的OTC片劑。再增加何首烏,刺五加,六味地黃丸,根據說明書的劑量同時服用。
根據LD50, 食用醋 改為50公斤體重1克,日二次。(沒有搜索到醋在人體內的半衰期,估計此劑量用一周沒有問題。作為保健,我每天服用500毫克膠囊一顆,有時兩顆,與一克Vc並服)。沒有找到血府逐瘀湯的LD50.
除了上述作用,我認為,醋、Vc和B3合用可以很快消除煙、酒、毒的戒斷綜合症或者脫癮綜合症。
醋的稀釋方法,以加拿大5%的醋為例,以一毫升醋液重一克計算,5%的濃度的醋,一毫升醋含0.05克純醋。500毫克是0.5克,需要10毫升5%的醋液。加入300毫升水稀釋後服用,然後,馬上喝清水漱嘴和喉嚨。不然,喉嚨會不舒服。
這裏所說的50kg體重,是指成年人,70kg和80kg的患者,等同處理。
不必擔心過量,種類越多越安全,效果越好。譬如:
2019年9月30日,研究報告《三種常用藥物的組合將果蠅的壽命延長了48%》 triple commonly used drugs combination has extended the lifespan of fruit flies by 48% 認為,聯合用藥可能有助於預防與年齡有關的疾病,其他研究也證明,植物藥聯合使用可產生協同作用,並減少副作用。
1999年10月,文章《德國的植物藥研究》Phytomedicine research in Germany說:多項比較臨床試驗表明,植物藥物與化學療法具有完全的治療等效性,並且具有避免任何不良反應的優勢。在許多方麵與合成藥物或單一物質不同,草藥及其提取物製劑的作用機理可以被描述為多價作用,並可以解釋為疊加和、或在某些情況下,是增強作用。在許多情況下,總體藥理作用和治療功效並非源自單一化合物,而是源自產生疊加和或協同藥理作用的幾種化合物。
許多植物藥治療都沒有立即表現出效果,隻有經過長期治療後才能達到最佳療效。這種作用在山楂屬提取物的研究中得到了證明,僅在應用3周後才導致心肌血液循環增加。這一現象,可能是由於以下原因引起的:
1.. 正如中藥複方的原理一樣,缺乏更多生物活性成分來增強協同作用,需要添加更多其它植物藥。
2.. 藥物劑量不足。許多天然藥物無毒且不依賴劑量,因此,可以使用更高的劑量。
3.. 天然藥物的治療機製是調節性的,因此,其作用僅在將總體身體狀況調節回歸正常之後,才會出現。這一點也是天然藥物的獨特優勢。
近年來,紫錐菊製劑已發展成為最暢銷的草藥免疫刺激劑,用於輔助治療呼吸道和泌尿道的反複感染以及預防和治療普通感冒和流感。全麵的植物化學研究表明,環烷酸,烷基酰胺和多糖是推定的主要活性成分,對非特異性免疫係統具有增強作用。
看看,這些研究結果多解渴,德國人做事兒就是認真。他們的研究提示我們,中藥的研究和應用也要參照西醫的方法,效果會更好。
為保證醋、Vc、B-3和有關中藥的使用的安全性和有效性,搜索依據,尤其是毒性實驗 50%動物致死量。
1.. 醋的毒性與藥理
LD50是3,320 mg/kg, 50公斤體重是165克。
https://www.mysteinbach.ca/blogs/8070/the-dose-makes-the-poison/
2018年1月11日,文章《醋真的能殺死家庭細菌嗎?》Does vinegar really kill household germs?說,醋可以通過化學方式改變蛋白質和脂肪的結構來破壞細菌和病毒的細胞結構,殺死他們。(我覺額,醋的這個手段高明,不需要對症,所有毒害物一掃光)。
https://www.abc.net.au/news/health/2018-01-12/does-vinegar-really-kill-household-germs/8806878
我用食用醋治療和預防新型冠狀病毒感染的想法,源自對醋的化學結構的分析。醋具有兩個氧原子,是由具有一個氧原子的乙醇自然氧化而來。由於氧原子的電負性較大,能夠輕易的從其它原子吸引電子。氧原子的這個特性使醋具有能夠破壞電負性較弱的有機物的共價鍵的能力,也就是能夠通過破壞共價鍵支撐的有機物的化學結構來殺滅細菌和病毒,對任何類型的病毒及其變異都有效。
醋的這種強力影響有機物共價鍵的特性,也使醋具有強力促進人體生理機能活動的能力。這就是,為什麽現代研究發現,醋具有的積極治療作用,幾乎涵蓋所有疾病。也就是,醋具有廣譜的治療功能。
雖然,新冠感染是由單一病毒引起,可是,發病卻是綜合症,造成人體的多部位傷害,需要在治療上能夠同時治愈,否則,影響治愈後的效果。醋的廣譜治療功能,可以完美實現這個目的。

自從30多歲起,牙齒就時好時壞,涼也不行,熱也不行,酸還不行。嚐試各種牙膏,用力刷牙還是不行,沒治。大約40歲時,左側下牙智齒頂壞鄰牙,拔掉兩顆。大約兩月後,相對上牙頂下牙齦,又拔掉。眼見四顆牙已經走了,其它牙不長記性,還是不消停。2015年,上中間左側第二顆牙露神經,找一個印度牙醫,擴孔,殺神經,內加支棍,堵上。2018年,左右下大牙牙麵磨損露神經,鬆動,疼啊。受不了啊。又找那個印度牙醫,堵牙麵。但是,還是鬆動,牙周炎。中間兩顆下牙,鬆動,一直鬧著與我分家,吃飯時小心翼翼,不敢啃玉米,恐懼。親愛的牙們,千萬別與我分家。
有一天,想到,既然醋能殺菌,何不試試用醋漱口,效果果奇佳。後來,買了小牙刷,每次吃完飯後,用小牙刷蘸0.05%的醋液清理牙縫,然後,用0.05%的醋液漱口,再用清水漱口,把醋洗淨,不然,牙齒感覺不好。
自從用醋清理牙齒以來,冷、熱、酸對我的牙齒們已經無可奈何了。享受到成年以來最舒服的牙齒。
下麵再看看醋的濃度過高後果。
2002年10月,文章《食醋腐蝕損傷食道》Corrosive oesophageal injury following vinegar ingestion,說,一名39歲的婦女,懷疑一小片蟹殼滯留在其喉嚨,喝了一湯匙家用米醋,希望軟化蟹殼,但是,她仍然感覺到異物和疼痛。
該患者第二天去了一家普通的門診,並被轉診到急診科。內窺鏡檢查發現口咽部發炎和食道和胃賁門二級燒傷約22至30 cm。 沒有證據表明有異物。 胃和十二指腸正常。給她抗酸藥物,出院。
左口咽部發炎,右胃賁門二級燒傷
一周後的隨訪,她完全沒有不適症狀,因此,沒做內鏡檢查。 4個月後隨訪,她沒有出現任何不適症狀。自愈,好了。
現在還有報道說,醋會腐蝕牙齒,慎用。我親身證明,這個說法不靠譜。也許,醋,真的會腐蝕牙齒,但是,隻要用醋後不刷牙,就不會產生危害。更重要的是,醋能清除牙結石,牙的自身生長會抵消醋的腐蝕。據牙醫介紹,清理牙結石,需要分幾次,把牙齦割裂翻開,用電刷打磨壓根。一年一次,花錢受罪。
醋,對人類,是智能友善的,從生理結構上殺滅有害物,對人類不傷害。能解決很多問題。
但是,對於靜脈滴注,要注意濃度。濃度太高,引起血管內膜腫脹,後果糟糕。需要進行實驗。
有報道稱在家庭門把手上檢測到新冠狀病毒,提醒我們要避免這種類型的感染。
1.3.1..請用燒沸的食醋對室內進行消毒,並個人分別放置消毒後碗和筷子。
1.3.2..用醋擦拭工具以及家庭成員容易接觸的地方。
1.3.3..自製便攜式防病毒包,把浸滿醋的手帕放在塑料袋裏,隨身攜帶,不時擦拭自己的手。
2..維生素毒性與藥理
2.1..維生素C毒性與藥理
LD50是11900 mg (11.9 g) /kg,50公斤體重是595克。美國毒物控製中心協會報告說,維生素C導致的死亡為零。
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_C_megadosage
下麵是我保存的有關維生素C的作用的文章,已經找不到原始鏈接了。
1. VC缺乏,膠原蛋白不能正常合成,導致細胞連接障礙。人體由細胞組成,細胞靠細胞間質把它們聯係起來,細胞間質的關鍵成分是膠原蛋白。膠原蛋白占身體蛋白質的1/3,生成結締組織,構成身體骨架。如骨骼、血管、韌帶等,決定了皮膚的彈性,保護大腦,並且有助於人體創傷的愈合。
2.壞血病。血管壁的強度和VC有很大關係。微血管是所有血管中最細小的,管壁可能隻有一個細胞的厚度,其強度、彈性是由負責連接細胞具有膠泥作用的膠原蛋白所決定。當體內VC不足,微血管容易破裂,血液流到鄰近組織。這種情況在皮膚表麵發生,則產生淤血、紫癍;在體內發生則引起疼痛和關節漲痛。嚴重情況在胃、腸道、鼻、腎髒及骨膜下麵均可有出血現象,乃至死亡。
3.牙齦萎縮、出血。健康的牙床緊緊包住每一顆牙齒。牙齦是軟組織,當缺乏蛋白質、鈣、VC時易產生牙齦萎縮、出血。
4.預防動脈硬化。可促進膽固醇的排泄,防止膽固醇在動脈內壁沉積,甚至可以使沉積的粥樣斑塊溶解。
5.是一種水溶性的強有力的抗氧化劑。可以保護其它抗氧化劑,如維生素A、維生素E、不飽和脂肪酸,防止自由基對人體的傷害。
6.治療貧血。使難以吸收利用的三價鐵還原成二價鐵,促進腸道對鐵的吸收,提高肝髒對鐵的利用率,有助於治療缺鐵性貧血。
7.防癌。豐富的膠原蛋白有助於防止癌細胞的擴散;VC的抗氧化作用可以抵禦自由基對細胞的傷害防止細胞的變異;阻斷亞硝酸鹽和仲胺形成強致癌物亞硝胺。曾有人對因癌症死亡病人解剖發現病人體內的VC含量幾乎為零。
8.保護細胞、解毒,保護肝髒。在人的生命活動中,保證細胞的完整性和代謝的正常進行至關重要。為此,穀胱甘肽和酶起著重要作用。
穀胱甘肽是由穀氨酸、胱氨酸和甘氨酸組成的短肽,在體內有氧化還原作用。它有兩種存在形式,即氧化型和還原型,還原型對保證細胞膜的完整性起重要作用。VC是一種強抗氧化劑,其本身被氧化,而使氧化型穀胱甘肽還原為還原型穀胱甘肽,從而發揮抗氧化作用。
酶是生化反應的催化劑,有些酶需要有自由的琉基(-SH)才能保持活性。VC能夠使雙硫鍵(-S-S)還原為-SH,從而提高相關酶的活性,發揮抗氧化的作用。
從以上可知,隻要VC充足,則VC、穀胱甘肽、-SH形成有力的抗氧化組合拳,清除自由基,阻止脂類過氧化及某些化學物質的毒害作用,保護肝髒的解毒能力和細胞的正常代謝。
9.提高人體的免疫力。
白細胞含有豐富的VC,當機體感染時白細胞內的VC急劇減少。VC可增強中性粒細胞的趨化性和變形能力,提高殺菌能力。
促進淋巴母細胞的生成,提高機體對外來和惡變細胞的識別和殺滅。
參與免疫球蛋白的合成。
提高CI補體酯酶活性,增加補體CI的產生。
促進幹擾素的產生,幹擾病毒mRNA的轉錄,抑製病毒的增生。
10.提高機體的應急能力。人體受到異常的刺激,如劇痛、寒冷、缺氧、精神強刺激,會引發抵禦異常刺激的緊張狀態。該狀態伴有一係列身體,包括交感神經興奮、腎上腺髓質和皮質激素分泌增多。腎上腺髓質所分泌的腎上腺素和去甲腎上腺素是有酪氨酸轉化而來,在次過程需要VC的參與。
進入人體的維生素C很快分布於個組織器官,在正常情況下,人體維生素C為1500毫克。多餘的大部分隨尿排出,少部分隨大便、汗及呼吸道排出。但是在感染情況下,人體所需的為平時的20---40倍之多,而且所有的藥物都會破壞體內的VC。所以,補充VC是非常有益的。
美國著名營養學家戴維斯曾經問過對營養學有研究的醫生,是否應將VC當作家中常備藥品,以便任何疾病初期都可以服用。大多數醫生都說:當然比阿司匹林安全多了,第一次使用足夠的量比連續使用小劑量有更好的效果。
維生素C有防病作用
一項調查表明,每天稍增加一些水果與蔬菜的攝入,就可能起到防病作用。
維生素C可能對若幹慢性疾病有保護作用。然而,從前瞻性的研究結果來看,維生素C與心血管病或癌症的關係,並非始終如一。為了評估血漿維生素C的水平與所有原因(心血管病、缺血性心髒病和癌症)死亡率之間的關係,英國劍橋大學臨床醫學院Khaw等,對19496名45~79歲成人,進行了4年的前瞻性調查。(Lancet 2001,357∶657)
納入的研究對象填寫一份健康和生活方式的問卷調查表,並接受身體檢查。研究者隨訪4年,追蹤死亡原因。這些人按性別特異的血漿維生素C5分位值加以劃分。研究者采用Cox比例風險模型確定維生素C與其它危險因素對死亡率的影響。
結果顯示,血漿維生素C濃度,與男女兩性所有原因(包括心血管病和缺血性心髒病等)的死亡率呈負相關。位於維生素C最高5分位組的死亡危險,為最低5 分位組的一半(P< 0.0001)。整個維生素C濃度分布,與死亡率連續相關。血漿維生素C濃度每上升20μmol/L(約相當於每天增加水果或蔬菜攝入量50克),所有原因死亡危險下降約20%(P< 0.0001),且不受年齡、收縮壓、血膽固醇、吸煙習慣、糖尿病和補充劑應用等的影響。在男性中,維生素C水平與癌症死亡率呈負相關;但在女性則不然。
2.1.1..維生素C在免疫中的作用
俄勒岡州立大學的Linus Pauling研究所
https://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/vitamins/vitamin-C#role-in-immunity
體外試驗表明,維生素C影響人體免疫係統的幾個組成部分;例如,維生素C能夠刺激白細胞(白血球),尤其是嗜中性粒細胞,淋巴細胞和吞噬細胞的產生及增強功能。維生素C激發功能的具體指標包括細胞運動,趨化性和吞噬作用。
中性粒細胞,單核吞噬細胞和淋巴細胞會積聚高濃度的維生素C,可以保護這些細胞免受氧化損傷。
在對入侵的微生物作出反應時,吞噬性白細胞釋放出非特異性毒素,例如超氧自由基,次氯酸(“漂白劑”)和過氧亞硝酸鹽。在這些非特異性毒素用活性氧殺死病原體的過程中,也損壞白細胞本身。已被證明,維生素C可以通過其抗氧化功能來保護白細胞免受自身氧化損傷。
吞噬白細胞還產生並釋放具有抗病毒活性的細胞因子,包括幹擾素。維生素C已被證明能增加其幹擾素的產生。
體外試驗和其他研究證明,維生素C增強了嗜中性粒細胞的趨化性和微生物殺傷能力,並刺激了B淋巴細胞和T淋巴細胞的增殖和分化

細菌性血流感染導致敗血綜合症,從全身性炎症反應綜合症(SIRS)和腦病到嚴重的敗血症和敗血性休克。微血管功能障礙,包括毛細血管血流受損和小動脈反應性受損,先於多器官功能衰竭。
重症患者的維生素C(抗壞血酸)水平較低。口服抗壞血酸的生物利用度有限,因此影響中等。但是,靜脈注射抗壞血酸會增加血漿和組織中維生素的濃度,並可能降低發病率。
在多微生物敗血症的動物模型中,靜脈注射抗壞血酸可恢複微血管功能並增加存活率。抗壞血酸對毛細血管血流和小動脈反應性的保護可以通過抑製氧化應激,調節細胞內信號通路和維持一氧化氮的體內平衡來介導。抗壞血酸清除活性氧(ROS),也抑製在微血管內皮細胞中合成超氧化物的NADPH氧化酶。氧化還原敏感信號通路的最終變化可能會減少內皮型的誘導型一氧化氮合酶(iNOS),組織因子和粘附分子的表達。抗壞血酸還通過從加合物中釋放一氧化氮並通過四氫生物蝶呤(BH4)刺激內皮型一氧化氮合酶(eNOS)來調節一氧化氮濃度。
因此,通過使用靜脈內維生素C作為輔助療法,有可能改善膿毒症的微血管功能。
2.1.3..敗血症中維生素C的作用機製:抗壞血酸調節內皮細胞的氧化還原信號

膿毒症患者的維生素C(抗壞血酸)的循環水平較低。腸胃外給予抗壞血酸會增加血漿和組織中維生素的濃度,並可能降低發病率。在膿毒症的動物模型中,靜脈注射抗壞血酸可以增加存活率並保護多種微血管功能,即毛細血管血流量,微血管通透性屏障以及小動脈對血管收縮劑和血管擴張劑的反應性。
腸胃外抗壞血酸對微血管功能的影響既快速又持久。抗壞血酸迅速聚集在微血管內皮細胞中,清除活性氧,並通過四氫生物蝶呤起作用,以刺激內皮一氧化氮合酶產生一氧化氮。微血管功能改善持續時間長的主要原因是細胞保留了高水平的抗壞血酸,從而改變了氧化還原敏感的信號傳導途徑,從而減少了敗血的NADPH氧化酶和誘導型一氧化氮合酶的誘導。
這些觀察結果與通過腸胃外施用抗壞血酸鹽作為輔助療法可以改善膿毒症中微血管功能的假設相一致。
2.14..大劑量靜脈注射維生素C作為成功治療病毒感染的方法。
20世紀中葉,大劑量的維生素C注射已成功用於治療小兒麻痹症,白喉,帶狀皰疹,單純皰疹,水痘,流行性感冒,麻疹,腮腺炎和病毒性肺炎。
我們的數據提供證據表明,大劑量(7.5至50克)靜脈內維生素C(IVC)治療可能對疾病持續時間有積極影響,並可能降低病毒抗體水平。益處似乎取決於所給予的IVC治療的次數,因為與未治療的對照組相比,接受十次或更多IVC的患者的病毒抗體載量降低幅度更大。
維生素C抗病毒作用的機製是抗氧化特性改善了血液和組織中的還原環境,增強了人體對炎症引起的氧化應激的反應,從而有助於抵抗在壓力條件下傳播的微生物和病毒。
維生素C也參與增強免疫係統的多種功能。免疫係統的細胞具有最高的維生素C濃度之一:白細胞的細胞質中維生素C的濃度是其80倍,從而使它們在感染部位產生了過量的維生素C。維生素C還可以增強幹擾素的產生,從而有助於防止細胞被病毒感染,刺激抗體和細胞因子的活性,並且以大劑量參與線粒體能量的產生。它可以增強專門的免疫細胞攝取細菌的能力。
除了這種一般的中和作用外,維生素C還會幹擾病毒RNA和DNA的組裝。在最近的一項研究(2012年)中,體外實驗表明抗壞血酸具有殺死分離的流感病毒以及正常人支氣管上皮細胞病毒的能力。有劑量依賴性的作用-2.5mM的濃度能夠消除90%的病毒,而20mM的溶液則完全停止了病毒的複製。在感染的早期階段引入抗壞血酸的抗病毒作用更大。
2.1.5..大劑量維生素治愈流感的實例
《大高劑量維生素C和流感:一例報告》High Dose Vitamin C and Influenza: A Case Report
分子生物學雜誌,第34卷,2019年第2期
https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminC-HealthProfessional/
摘譯如下:
波多黎各大學公共衛生學院與龐塞的診所合作,用大劑量維生素C,治療重症流感病人,立竿見影。他們對此病例分析報告如下。
維生素C是人類必不可少的營養素,通過捐贈電子,使其具有多效性。維生素C通過支持和直接刺激先天和後天免疫係統的各種細胞功能來促進免疫防禦。與維生素C上調免疫係統的這種能力相一致,科學文獻對維生素C治愈多種病毒的能力具有豐富的文獻記載。在我們這個病例報告中,病毒感染已經把身體健康的年輕人,折磨成威脅生命的程度。
波多黎各龐塞的25歲法醫心理學家M.G. 在佛羅裏達州的奧蘭休假旅行期間,感染流感,發燒,發冷,肌肉酸痛,頭痛,惡心。通過嚐試繼續休假活動,他與這些症狀作鬥爭了一周。但是,後來,他隻有躺在床上的精力。接下來的五天,他躺在床上,無法自理。他持續的頭痛和身體疼痛。從最初評估和治療開始,他的體重已經從大約170磅下降到155磅。
他最初的身體檢查僅僅是脂肪和肌肉明顯減少。沒有看到淋巴結腫大或肝髒腫大,包括全血細胞計數和生化特征在內的常規血液檢查均在正常範圍,包括基本肝功能檢查。進行了快速的流感拭子測試,結果呈陽性。
我們用含有50克抗壞血酸鈉sodium ascorbate的1,000 cc乳酸林格氏溶液lactated Ringer’s solution對他進行了靜脈滴注治療。抗壞血酸鈉是一種pH中性形式的維生素C。滴注時間持續一個半小時。持續3天,共輸注3次。所有的輸注在臨床上都沒有問題,沒有明顯的副作用。
第一次靜脈注射後的早晨,患者感覺他的體力顯著改善,頭痛消失了。第二次靜脈注射後的第二天早晨,他的胃口好轉了,飲食增加了。
所有的IVC輸液都是在患者家中進行的。在第四天,他感覺自己已經正常了,但繼續口服維生素C 2g/3次/天, 還有 100mg高效能的多種維生素和礦物質。
結論
這些證據證實了抗壞血酸對病毒感染的有效性。基於此,我們建議應研究靜脈注射維生素C作為急性病毒感染治療方案的重要組成部分。
2.2..維生素B3的毒性與藥理
LD50 是 4.5 g/kg,50公斤體重是225g.
B3能使血脂正常化,身體感覺好,例如更多的精力,更快的康複等。B3降低C反應蛋白, 這是炎症的標誌物之一。他汀類藥物也可以用來降低C反應蛋白,但是,有毒,而B3無毒。

維生素B3概述
維生素B3,也稱為煙酸,是水溶性B族維生素之一。這種營養物質有助於人體將食物轉化為葡萄糖,用於產生能量。煙酸有助於神經係統的正常功能和正常的心理功能。它還有助於減少疲勞和疲勞。
2.2.1..維生素B3可能有助於殺死超級細菌Vitamin B3 May Help Kill Superbugs
https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/249511.php#1
位於美國加利福尼亞州洛杉磯希達西奈醫學中心(Cedars Sinai Medical Center)研究表明,維生素B3,可以幫助先天免疫係統殺死具有抗藥性的葡萄球菌,即所謂的“超級細菌”。在對小鼠和人類血液進行的實驗室研究中,研究人員發現,高劑量的維生素B3可使免疫細胞殺死細菌的能力提高1000倍。
對於這個“高劑量”,究竟有多高,報道沒有說。我找到發表在《臨床研究雜誌》上的原文《C /EBPε介導煙酰胺對小鼠金黃色葡萄球菌的清除作用》 C/EBPε mediates nicotinamide-enhanced clearance of Staphylococcus aureus in mice,也沒有找到。
我發信給文章執筆之一:我想知道B3的確切劑量,您的論文的學術術語無法理解。我想獲得有關2019年新冠狀病毒治療的建議,該維生素在劑量和臨床效果方麵是否有效?非常感謝。
回複;我們沒有任何數據表明維生素B3可以有效抵抗冠狀病毒,估計它不會對病毒有效。
我又寫信追問,他們在實驗中使用B3的劑量問題,沒有得到回複。
B3的副作用是引起瘙癢,皮膚發紅。有報道描述說,把白人變成印度紅人。
為求證其安全耐受性,2020年1月25日,我特意買了一瓶B-3 (Niacin),以70kg體重親自體驗。見下麵手機拍攝的照片。
12:10,500 mg x 2服下,
12:27, 開始有感,輕微的熱,癢....
12:38, 臉、額頭、脖子後、手臂外側,明顯地熱,癢....
12:48, 大腿外側熱、癢。有欲望想撓手臂外側。
12:50, 撓後背,肚兩側。大腿熱、癢、脹極其明顯。
01:05, 熱、癢開始減退。
02:05,還有熱、刺癢。
03:39, 大腿、小腿皮膚好像處於稍稍過熱的水中。
05:19, 大腿、小腿皮膚還有熱感,臉麵熱感。
07:01,僅臉部熱,全身無癢。
總體感覺是熱乎乎,癢癢,能承受。
謝謝B-3。
黃芪是中藥中提高人體自身免最有效的,所以我特別推薦。
毒理學試驗:大鼠90 d經口毒性試驗, LD50>62.0 g/kg BW, 3項遺傳毒性試驗均為陰性,亞慢性毒性試驗各項指標均為陰性。結論黃芪在此次試驗條件下未見急性毒性、遺傳毒性以及亞慢性毒性。

黃芪注射液在呼吸係統方麵的作用機製及臨床應用:強心、保護肝髒、興奮中樞神經係統等,若用大劑量的(30~609)黃芪,有降壓、利尿、增加血漿蛋白、降低尿蛋白等作用。黃芪(黃芪皂甙)具有抗菌、抗病毒作用,能抵製或阻斷細胞病變過程,具有明顯的調節機體體液免疫,細胞免疫功能,增強自然殺傷細胞的活性及抗病毒作用。黃芪不僅能改善其臨床療效,減少反複發作,同時能提高其Thl細胞因子降低Th2細胞因子的作用。
黃芪對機體Thl/Th2細胞因子的失衡狀態有明顯的調節作用,且能預防其反複發作?。黃芪能通過增加免疫球蛋白IgGl和IgG3的水平,增強體液免疫,誘導幹擾素生成,增強巨噬細胞吞噬功能等一係列免疫調節作用來改變患兒暫時的免疫功能低下狀態,以減少RRI的發作,縮短病程心J。黃芪注射液不良反應小,所含生物堿和苷類等成分均有直接抑殺病毒作用。而黃芪注射液加入培養體係可促進體外培養HCMV(人類巨細胞病毒)感染CFU—G M(粒一單係祖細胞)增殖,對小兒病毒感染性疾病所致外周血白細胞減少有一定治療作用。

黃芪免疫調節機製及臨床應用進展
聶紫雯,魏強華 (上海交通大學附屬第一人民醫院,上海 200080)
https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source
黃芪為多年生草本植物蒙古黃芪 Astragalus membranaceus(Fisch.) Bge.var.Mongholicus (Bge.) Hsiao 及膜莢黃芪Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bge.的根,主產於山西、黑龍江、內蒙古。黃芪味甘,性微溫,入脾、肺經,生用能益衛固表、托毒生肌、利水消腫;炙用能補中益氣、升陽舉陷。黃芪含有多種皂苷、黃酮、多糖,以及氨基酸、亞油酸、生物堿、膽堿等化學成分,其中皂苷、黃酮、多糖等成分有免疫調節作用。筆者現就近年黃芪免疫調節機製的研究進展作一綜述。
1 免疫增強作用
黃芪可增加脾髒及胸腺重量,提高機體免疫功能。如給予小鼠 1 年生黃芪中的黃芪多糖,可明顯提高經環磷酰胺處理後其脾髒及胸腺指數,並提示不同質量濃度乙醇提取的黃芪多糖
均對環磷酰胺所致機體免疫功能低下有拮抗作用[1];另有研究表明,黃芪顆粒能明顯提高環磷酰胺所致免疫功能低下模型小鼠的非特異性免疫功能[2]。這些都提示黃芪有免疫增強作用。
1.1 非特異性免疫
1.1.1 巨噬細胞 黃芪多糖能誘導和激活巨噬細胞表達一氧化氮合成酶並產生一氧化氮(NO),從而促進巨噬細胞對靶細胞的作用[3],還可促進巨噬細胞的吞噬作用。寧氏等[4]研究表明, 黃芪不同劑量、不同途徑給藥對小鼠腹腔巨噬細胞吞噬能力均有不同程度的增強作用,並能對抗地塞米鬆對其的抑製作用。
蔣氏等[5]研究也表明,應用黃芪組患者透出液巨噬細胞吞噬能力明顯高於對照組,用藥後患者巨噬細胞經脂多糖(LPS)刺激, 其上清液中 NO 和腫瘤壞死因子 α(TNF-α)含量顯著高於用藥前(P <0.01),提示用藥後巨噬細胞細胞因子分泌作用增強。而黃芪多糖及黃芪甲苷可以使 γ 幹擾素(IFN-γ)、白細胞介素-1β(IL-1β)的濃度升高從而使巨噬細胞活化吞噬能力增強[6]。黃芪還可提高小鼠巨噬細胞 C3b 受體和 FcR 活性,其機理可能是黃芪多糖通過 NO 介導信號傳遞通路,調節脾淋巴細胞內遊離鈣離子的濃度,升高細胞蛋白激酶活性而影響機體免疫細胞的信號轉導,發揮其免疫調節作用[7]。
1.1.2 自然殺傷細胞
黃芪可以提高自然殺傷細胞(NK 細胞)活性及殺傷作用。趙氏等[8]研究表明,黃芪能提高急性病毒性心肌炎患者 NK 細胞的活性。黃芪多糖粉針劑(APS-P)具有增強S180 荷瘤小鼠 NK 細胞殺傷靶細胞能力的作用。在對老年肺炎患者的研究中發現,黃芪治療組靜脈血中的 NK 細胞免疫功能較對照組升高,說明黃芪可直接或通過刺激自然殺傷細胞毒因子釋放促進外周血單核細胞的 NK 細胞活性[9]。

1.1.3 樹突狀細胞
黃芪多糖體外可誘導臍血單核細胞(樹突狀細胞前體細胞)定向分化為功能性(成熟)樹突狀細胞(DCs);黃芪多糖誘生的 DCs 具有明顯刺激同種異體 T 淋巴細胞增殖的能力,且隨 DCs 細胞數量的增加而作用增強[10]。
1.2 特異性免疫
1.2.1 細胞因子
黃芪總苷(10、20 mg/L)呈濃度依賴性地降低血吸蟲蟲卵抗原(10 mg/L),刺激大鼠腹腔巨噬細胞 TNF-α信使核糖核酸(mRNA)表達及上清液中 TNF-α 含量。提示黃芪總苷可降低抗原活化的 TNF-α mRNA 表達及上清液中 TNF-α 含量[11]。黃芪能使單純性腎病綜合征患兒血清和尿中可溶性白細胞介素 2 受體(sIL-2R)水平降低[12]。另有研究表明,黃芪可以
促進白細胞介素-1α(IL-1α)、白細胞介素-12p40(IL-12p40)mRNA 及脾細胞的有絲分裂的作用來對抗免疫抑製[13]。在對急性肺損傷大鼠模型的修複研究中,發現黃芪組 IL-1β 和 TNF-α的表達水平低於模型組(急性肺損傷大鼠,未用任何治療藥物),說明黃芪可抑製 IL-1β 和 TNF-α 等前炎性因子的表達[14]。在對哮喘小鼠的研究中發現,黃芪能提高哮喘小鼠體內的 IFN-γ 含量,使哮喘小鼠 Th1 反應增強,Th1/Th2 比例失衡得到部分扭轉,從而在哮喘的治療中發揮作用,但對哮喘小鼠脾單個核細胞產生白細胞介素-4(IL-4)無明顯影響[15]。
1.2.2 細胞免疫
黃芪對正常小鼠胸腺具有顯著增重作用,並能使刀豆蛋白 A 激發的 T 淋巴細胞增殖反應明顯增強[16]。劉氏等[17]研究表明,黃芪注射液對患兒過敏性紫癜的初步治療結果顯示黃芪不僅有提高 Th1 細胞因子的作用,同時還有降低Th2 細胞因子的作用。其機理可能與黃芪能促進淋巴細胞中IL-2 mRNA 的表達,降低抑製性 T 細胞(Ts)對淋巴細胞 IL-2mRNA 的抑製,並對 IFN-γ 較明確的誘生有關。譚氏等[18]研究表明,急性腦梗死患者黃芪注射液組治療後 CD3+、CD4+、CD4+/CD8+水平較對照組顯著增高,CD8+水平則明顯減低,提示黃芪可通過對腦梗死發病後存在不同程度的淋巴細胞免疫功能紊亂的免疫調控,減輕梗死急性期免疫反應所致神經細胞的病理損傷。
1.2.3 體液免疫
對小鼠抵抗單核細胞增生李斯特菌能力的研究中,用黃芪多糖注射後的小鼠產生的血清免疫球蛋白 G(IgG)滴度明顯高於生理鹽水對照組[19]。口服黃芪可使 IgG 亞類缺陷病患兒血清中 IgG1、IgG3 較治療前明顯提高[20]。徐氏等[21]將 80 例患兒隨機分為黃芪液口服組(激素+黃芪)和激素組,6 個月及 1 年後患兒血清 IgG 明顯升高。
2 免疫抑製和雙向調節作用
黃芪水煎劑不但可以促進正常小鼠淋巴細胞轉化,減輕小鼠脾髒 B 細胞的破壞,誘生 IL-2 水平,但高濃度黃芪卻抑製·104· Chinese Journal of Information on TCM Aug.2009 Vol.16 No.8IL-2 誘生,表明黃芪具有免疫調節的雙向性[22]。有研究表明,複方黃芪提取物在一定濃度範圍內可以抑製大鼠腹腔巨噬細胞產生的 TNF-α、IL-l 與 NO[23]。李氏等[24]通過對小鼠皮膚移植模型的研究,觀察到高劑量黃芪注射液(60 g/kg)組移植片存活時間明顯延長,CD4+CD25+T 細胞數量及轉錄因子叉頭狀蛋白 P3(Foxp3)的相對表達量比生理鹽水組顯著增多,這說明黃芪可以通過提高 Foxp3+ CD4+ CD25+調節 T 細胞拮抗移植排斥反應。但在創傷或心理應激後的小鼠模型中,黃芪多糖可使免疫功能受到抑製小鼠的 CD4+ CD25+ T 細胞水平降低,從而增強了機體免疫力[25]。
3 臨床應用
3.1 免疫力低下
姚氏等[26]對 29 例慢性腎功能衰竭維持性血透患者進行對照研究,發現應用黃芪注射液的治療組患者血液中的血紅蛋白、血細胞壓積有明顯改善,血清 IgG、IgA 含量及 CD4、CD4/CD8值升高,明顯提高患者免疫力。慢性支氣管炎多為本虛,對其肺虛型患者的研究中,將 71 例患者隨機分成治療組(黃芪注射液)和對照組(未用藥),觀察其支氣管肺泡灌洗液的免疫指標,20 d後,發現 CD3、CD4、CD4/CD8、IgG、分泌型免疫球蛋白 A 均較對照組明顯提高[27]。
3.2 自身免疫病
有小樣本的研究表明,在停用其他抗風濕西藥後,單用黃芪總苷治療類風濕性關節炎,4、6、8 周的總有效率分別為45.5%、54.5%、55.6%,8 周時能明顯改善患者的休息痛、晨僵、
舌質淡、脈象細、腫脹關節數和指數等指標而無明顯不良反應;蔡氏等[28]通過對 80 例初發的係統性紅斑狼瘡患者的研究表明,加用黃芪注射液組的療效較常規治療組顯著,機製可能是通過下調 Fas 抗原的表達,CD4+及 CD4+/CD8+比值的上升,增加激素及免疫抑製劑對細胞凋亡的抑製作用,並調節 T 細胞亞群及比例恢複正常。蘇氏等[29]對 43 例狼瘡腎炎患者進行研究,治療組用環磷酰胺聯合大劑量黃芪注射液,對照組單用環磷酰胺治療,經過 3 個療程(30 d 為 1 個療程)治療後,治療組的感染率明顯低於對照組,且在 24 h 尿蛋白、CD8、紅細胞、白蛋白等生化指標的改善方麵與對照組比較差異有統計學意義(P <0.05)。說明環磷酰胺聯合大劑量黃芪注射液不僅可以有效治療狼瘡腎炎,而且可改善患者免疫功能,減輕環磷酰胺導致的免疫力低下。
丹參是具有廣泛藥理功能的藥物,所以我也特別推薦。
小鼠單次靜脈和腹腔注射給藥 LD50是3.2g/kg和6.3g/kg。死亡小鼠毒性症狀主要表現為俯臥不動、抽搐、呼吸困難、昏迷、尿失禁繼而死亡。 結論: 丹參注射液大劑量腹腔和靜脈注射可致小鼠全部死亡。但其半數致死量分別為臨床用藥劑量的 65 和 129 倍,安全範圍較大。

摘要:
丹參中的化學成分,可按結構類型分為二萜醌類,酚酸類及其他類3個類型的化合物。丹參具有誘導腫瘤細胞凋亡,抗動脈粥樣硬化,降血糖,調節細胞內鈣離子濃度,且有抑製炎症反應、抗氧化,清除氧自由基等多方麵藥理作用。丹參及其製劑在治療心血管係統疾病、消化係統疾病、泌尿係統疾病、呼吸係統疾病等方麵取得了較好的療效,丹參抗腫瘤作用的臨床作用還有待深入研究,但其前景廣闊。通過查閱近年來有關丹參的文獻資料,本文總結了丹參的化學成分、藥理作用及臨床應用等方麵的研究進展,並對丹參的抗肝纖維化作用研究和發展前景做出了展望。
1. 引言
丹參(Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge)為多年生直立草本植物,具有促進血液循環,緩解血瘀,消瘀的功效 [1]。《名醫名方》:消瘡飲中它具有強健脾氣,補氣,調節氣血,生機的作用 [2]。婦炎淨合劑中提及它有化淤和血液循環,清除積累的代謝廢物,消除熱量和排毒,減少疼痛的作用等 [3]。含有多種有效成分,能誘導腫瘤細胞凋亡、保護心血管係統、清除氧自由基等,目前臨床上多用於治療冠心病、消化性潰瘍和抗肝纖維化等。現代藥理顯示應用廣泛 [14] - [26]。
2. 化學成分研究分析
2.1. 民間用法
補血通經方中丹參起活血化瘀,溫經通脈作用,另外丹參還具有活血通經、祛瘀止痛、清心除煩、涼血消癰的功效,主要用於胸腹疼痛、風濕痹痛、心悸不眠、月經不調、經閉痛經、瘡癰腫痛等。
2.2. 中藥典籍記載
丹參是唇形科植物丹參(Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge)的幹燥根和根莖,始載於《神農本草經》,列為上品,味苦,性微寒,歸心、肝經。
2.3. 現代醫學研究出的主要成分類別
根據丹參化學成分的結構特點,將丹參的化學成分分為二萜醌類,酚酸類及其他類3個類型的化合物。
2.3.1. 二萜醌類
目前已從丹參中發現二萜醌類化合物43個,根據其化合物結構骨架可分為兩類,即鄰醌型的丹參酮類(Tanshinone)和對醌型的羅列酮類。丹參酮類化合物是丹參中的脂溶性有效成分,對光不穩定,屬於二萜類化合物,主要包括丹參酮IIA、隱丹參酮、二氫丹參酮、丹參酮I等。曾敬其等 [4] 通過HPLC法測定丹參中的丹參酮I、丹參酮IIA、隱丹參酮的含量發現,丹參酮IIA的含量最高,隱丹參酮含量次之。
2.3.2. 酚酸類
丹參中水溶性主要成分為酚酸類物質,是丹參抗心血管疾病的活性成分之一。Xingchu Gong等報道,丹酚酸B經加熱後降解為丹酚酸A、丹酚酸C、丹參素、咖啡酸、原兒茶醛、紫草酸、迷迭香酸、丹酚酸F甲酯等。這些降解得到的產物可作為以丹酚酸B為指標對含有丹參成分的中藥製劑進行質量分析的物質基礎。L. Zhang等報道,超聲輔助提取法是目前丹酚酸提取方法中條件比較溫和、價格低廉、有效的一種方法,應用此法能得到更多的產物 [5]。
2.3.3. 其它
馬亞兵等報道中藥材中所含有的微量元素是劃分中藥歸經、藥性的物質基礎,在人體內起著調控生物分子活性的作用 [6]。陶楊 [7] 用火焰原子吸收光譜法測定被微波消解後的丹參,結果顯示,丹參中含有豐富的無機元素,主要為Ca、Mg、Fe、Mn、Cu、Zn,其中以Ca含量最高。
3. 主要藥理作用
3.1. 誘導腫瘤細胞凋亡
鄒月 [8] 等人發現複方丹參滴丸在腫瘤轉移方麵具有一定作用。複方丹參滴丸中的有效成分丹參具有誘導、殺滅腫瘤細胞的作用,可抑製腫瘤細胞增殖、生長。另外,複方丹參滴丸具有一定的協同作用,可最大限度減小由化療所致的心髒毒性。丹參主要成分丹參酮屬菲醌結構,可有效對抗腫瘤,其菲環結構與DNA分子結合後,可有效調節腫瘤細胞基因表達,誘導腫瘤細胞不斷分化最終死亡。
3.2. 心血管係統
宋瓊濤 [9] 研究表明丹參酸A通過抑製氧化應激、血管炎症、調節細胞內Ca2+濃度發揮其缺血性心肌病保護作用;曹慧敏 [10] 等人研究表明丹參酮IIA是丹參主要的有效活性成分,丹參酮IIA具有心髒保護、擴張冠脈、抗動脈粥樣硬化、抗血小板,抗凝,抗血栓形成及抑製心肌肥厚作用。
3.3. 降血糖作用
薑雪 [11] 等人研究表明丹酚酸A給藥組能夠顯著升高DM模型組的SOD,降低MDA水平,提示丹酚酸A具有減輕氧自由基損傷、提高機體抗脂質過氧化的作用。
3.4. 對機體鈣離子代謝調節作用
鄭雲霞 [12] 等人研究表明再灌注損傷和心肌細胞缺血發生的一個關鍵機製,即為鈣離子符合,而細胞中鈣離子的進出可經丹參酮等有效成分予以調節,這樣即可促使鈣離子負荷減輕,進而對心肌以及細胞等起到良好的保護作用。
3.5. 抑製炎症反應、抗氧化,清除氧自由基
丹參等成分可對氧自由基的形成加以抑製,且可將自由基清除,這樣即可降低丙二醛和過氧化氫含量,並促使超氧化物歧化酶活性提升,從而穩定細胞膜,抑製脂質過氧化,因此其既能避免炎症損傷內皮細胞,又能促使白細胞介素減少,進而實現對炎症反應的有效抑製 [13]。
4. 臨床應用
4.1. 冠心病心絞痛
向南竹等 [14] 將300例心絞痛患者分為兩組,對照組給予消心痛,治療組給予複方丹參滴丸,經治療,心絞痛、心電圖總有效率治療組優於對照組,治療組的血流動力學有顯著改善(P < 0.01)。複方丹參滴丸在改善缺血性心電圖方麵明顯優於消心痛,且有降低高脂血症患者血脂水平作用;胡振波 [15] 等用複方丹參飲治療慢性穩定性心絞痛伴高脂血症的臨床觀察。治療組用複方丹參飲,對照組用通心絡膠囊,一個療程後進行臨床療效評定,結果治療組臨床療效總有效率為90.00%高於對照組的53.33%;尤燕等 [16] 采用異丙腎上腺素致小鼠急性心肌缺氧模型考察了複方丹參片與生脈飲合用對小鼠存活時問的影響,並初步觀察量效時效關係,結果證明,複方丹參片與生脈散合用對急性心肌缺氧缺血有明顯保護作用,具有起效較緩、作用持久的特點。
4.2. 消化性潰瘍
張向榮等 [17] 給患者口服丹參水溶液,6周後胃潰瘍治愈率達86.7%。丹參與白芪、大黃配伍使用,對難治性潰瘍療效顯著,治愈率分別可達97.3%和80%;喬培堂等 [18] 臨床研究報道:臨床治療消化性潰瘍患者,主要采取煎熬服用方式,首先用200 ml和50 g生丹參浸泡15 min之後再加水300 ml進行溫水煎,最後將其濃縮成150 ml,口服分早、晚各1次;還可聯合20 mg法莫替丁同時服用,分早、晚各1次。治療消化性潰瘍均取得良好療效。
4.3. 瘢痕疙瘩
張盤根等 [19] 用複方丹參注射液治療瘢痕疙瘩34例,小的瘢痕疙瘩單用外敷法,大的采用外敷法和局部封閉法,結果21例痊愈,7例顯效,4例好轉,僅2例無效。楊衛 [20] 用丹參注射液外敷法和局封法治療各種原因形成的瘢痕疙瘩40例,其中男10例,女30例。外敷法治療20例,結果13例痊愈,4例顯效,2例好轉,僅1例無效,總有效率為95%。局封法治療20例,結果12例痊愈,4例顯效,3例好轉,僅1例無效,總有效率為95%。
4.4. 腎髒疾病
吳玉生等 [21] 對24例慢性腎炎患者行肌內注射複方丹參注射液,輕症者,2 ml/次,2次/d;較重者采取靜脈滴注複方丹參注射液並加入10%的250 ml葡萄糖注射液,10 d~25 d,22例患者中治愈率為91.7%;王群等將住院的53例糖尿病腎病患者,隨機分為3組,對照組接受糖尿病腎病的標準治療方案:糖尿病飲食、控製血糖、血壓與血脂;前列地爾組在對照組的基礎上加用20 μg前列地爾靜脈滴注;聯合治療組在前列地爾組治療的基礎上再加用丹參注射液20 ml靜脈滴注。每日1次,連續14 d。結果顯示聯合治療組與前列地爾組較治療前β2微球蛋白、24 h尿微量白蛋白水、甘油三酯與膽固醇水平均下降更明顯(P < 0.01)。
4.5. 糖尿病並發末梢神經炎
龐德意等 [22] 將12例糖尿病周圍神經病變患者,采取口服複方丹參滴丸治療,10粒/次,3次/d,10 d,而在治療期間可對患者的飲食、運動以及降糖藥進行適當的調整經治療均取得良好療效。
4.6. 呼吸係統
吳道榮 [23] 采用複方丹參注射液輔助治療小兒肺炎,能有效縮短咳嗽消失時間、氣促緩解時間、哮鳴音消失時間、治療時間等,改善患兒臨床症狀及肺功能;安玉良將慢性阻塞性肺病(急性加重期)住院患者78例隨機分為治療組和對照組,觀察並記錄咳嗽、咳痰、喘息、肺部囉音及胸片陰影的消失時間,結果治療組在這方麵均較對照組差異有統計學意義(P < 0.01)。得到了丹參對慢性阻塞性肺病具有輔助治療作用的結論 [24]。
4.7. 安胎
通過王麗娜等 [25] 臨床觀察發現,複方丹參注射液能有效改善滋養細胞和黃體功能,調節免疫,能有效治愈抗心磷脂抗體陽性導致的反複性流產及不明原因的反複性流產。楊鑒冰等 [26] 采用以丹參為主要成分的化瘀安胎藥治療血瘀型胎漏、胎動不安,總有效率為96%,方中丹參通過活血化瘀起到安胎的效果。
4.8. 肝髒疾病
彭安林等 [27] 觀察黃芪注射液與丹參注射液抗肝纖維化的療效,將96例早期肝硬化患者分為2組,治療組52例,給予黃芪注射液、丹參注射液,對照組44例,治療後治療組肝纖維化指標較治療前有明顯改善,與對照組相比。有極顯著性差異;陳秀清 [28] 將慢性乙肝肝纖維化患者共136例隨機均分為對照組和治療組。對照組口服恩替卡韋片0.5 mg,1次/d。治療組在對照組治療的基礎上靜脈滴注丹參注射液,30 mL加入5%葡萄糖注射液250 mL中,1次/d,均連續治療3個月。結果治療後,對照組、治療組總有效率分別為82.4%、94.1%,兩組總有效率比較差異具有統計學意義(P < 0.05)。且治療組血清透明質酸(HA)、IV型膠原(CIV)、I型前膠原肽(PIINP)和層黏連蛋白(LN)、TGF-β1水平降低程度明顯優於對照組,兩組比較差異具有統計學意義(P < 0.05)。因此丹參注射液聯合恩替卡韋片能夠改善肝髒纖維化,降低血清TGF-β1水平,具有一定的臨床推廣應用價值。
5. 展望
隨著現代科技的發展,大大突破了古代中方條件的限製,從丹參植物學、植物化學、藥理學到製劑與臨床應用等方麵均有係統的研究並取得重大的突破。丹參製劑主要有複方丹參注射液,丹參注射液,丹參酮IIA硫黃鈉注射液等。在臨床上廣泛用於治療心血管疾病,慢性遷延性肝炎,腎髒疾患以及感染性疾病等。
丹參是一味中藥,中醫藥抗肝纖維化研究業已取得良好療效,顯示出很大的優勢和良好前景,中藥抗肝纖維化作用體現於肝纖維化形成不同階段的多個環節,在改善症狀、改善肝髒組織學病變方麵明顯優於西藥,且較少毒副作用,已成為國內外所共識,關於中藥抗肝纖維化的確切機製研究,為今後研究的重點。
因此研究丹參的抗肝損傷及其急性肝損傷的機製有利於促進丹參的資源利用,促進其藥用價值的進一步開發。進一步探討丹參抗急性肝損傷的藥理活性,有利於進一步確定丹參的臨床藥用價值,以促進丹參的藥理應用以及相關產業製品的發展,為中國特色中草藥的發展奠定基礎。另外,統一現有丹參製劑的工藝方法是當務之急,研究出更有效的丹參複方製劑,對丹參在因血瘀引起的血栓閉塞性脈管炎,慢性肝炎等重大疾病預防治療方麵進行進一步研究,加大其臨床開發的速度,使丹參這一品種發揮更大的社會效益和經濟效益,為人類的健康起到保駕護航的作用。
如今,對於許多疾病,西醫已顯示出無助,不僅僅是目前的2019新型冠狀病毒,對於沒有致病源可供殺戮的退行性疾病,更是顯得素手無策。麵對這個棘手醫學難題,我們必須從哲學的基礎層麵探索原因,從而找到出路。
現代西醫是以機械還原論Reductioniam為指導,將人體視為無情感的無生命部件的簡單集合,試圖用無限細分人體為蛋白質、基因、甚至肽鏈的微觀結構,嚐試通過孤立的微觀部分來研究生命和健康的機理,今天,我們甚至可以通過試管技術來製造生命。因此,公眾已經確信現代西醫是最先進,最科學和最可靠的。
但是,由於人體是一個複雜的係統,各個器官緊密相連,相互依存,相互作用,因此影響疾病發展的因素可能很多,尤其是心理因素。2008年,一份心理學+醫學+神經科學+遺傳學的跨學科研究報告《心理壓力引起一切疾病》Report: Stress Causes Everything說:“心理壓力會導致身機能惡化,無論是牙齦還是心髒,並導致人們對各種疾病敏感,無論是普通感冒還是癌症。”這意味著心理壓力在疾病誘因中起決定性作用。許多客觀事實證明,在機械還原論的指導下的西醫途徑是不可持續的,例如:
2003前,人們曾經為人類基因組計劃的完成而歡呼,以為找到了控製生命的鑰匙,從此,可以根除人類疾病。然而,直到現在,還沒有安全,穩定的基因療法應用於臨床,因為,一種疾病會涉及數十甚至數百不同的基因片段,因而,從基因層麵控製疾病的發展,難以實現。因此,被認為最科學可靠的基因療法這顆花,還需要更多的研究和更長的時間的研究和才能結出美味的果。我相信,這顆寄托人類希望之果,也許永遠不能發育到成熟味美,因為,無法根除心理壓力這個疾病的主要誘因,它主要受社會環境控製,而不完全是來自致病原。
有利的社會環境,將減小心理壓力的危害,甚至可以治療癌症,而藥物很難做到。
俄亥俄州立大學的學者們曾經做過印證道家哲學的實驗。2010年7月8日,《優化居住環境使小鼠的腫瘤縮小》Housing upgrade shrinks tumors in mice with cancer ,2010年7月28日,《活躍的社交活動環境可以幫助腫瘤縮小甚至消失》 Socially active environment can cause cancer tumors to shrink and even disappear。
他們將人類黑素瘤細胞注射到所有小鼠的皮膚下,然後將它們放入能夠容納20個老鼠的大環境中,並配備了玩具,躲藏室,跑步的轉輪和。對照組小鼠,被五隻一組放入較小的實驗環境,有不限量的食物和水,但是沒有玩具。經過三周,大組的小鼠的腫瘤大約是對照組小鼠的一半。經過六周,大組老鼠的腫瘤比對照組動物小了80%,甚至有20%的老鼠沒有可見的腫瘤。而小組老鼠都具有可見的腫瘤。
研究人員發現,豐富的環境會激活神經係統途徑,使大腦與脂肪組織對話。該途徑稱為下丘腦-交感神經-脂肪細胞(HSA)軸,指示脂肪細胞停止向血液中釋放一種名為瘦素的激素。瘦素通常有助於抑製食欲,但這項研究發現它也可以加速癌症的生長。
仔細觀察老鼠大腦的下丘腦區域,研究人員發現一種名為腦源性神經營養因子BDNF的基因在控製食物的攝取和能量平衡中起著重要的作用,而且,在大組老鼠中,這種神經營養因子活躍得多。
在進一步研究這種影響時,研究者尋找血液中幾種代謝激素的變化。發現,瘦素在大組老鼠重中顯著降低。瘦素(Leptin,LP)是一種由脂肪組織分泌的蛋白質類激素,參與糖、脂肪及能量代謝的調節,促使機體減少攝食,增加能量釋放,抑製脂肪細胞的合成,進而使體重減輕。
在黑色素瘤和結腸癌老鼠模型中,豐富的生活環境具有相同的抑製癌症的作用。研究者之一,鄧恩教授說:“這一發現表明,這種豐富的生存環境可能具有治療作用。”
西醫恰恰是忽視社會環境和心理因素的作用,以尋找致病原並以合成藥物殺滅為治療疾病的手段。這種治療方式,雖然為人類健康做出過巨大貢獻,但是,隨著致病原自身適應性變異的加快,現有的西醫手段治療疾病越來越困難。甚至,藥物也不安全,其副作用已經成為新的致命威脅。很多合成藥物在上演可怕遊戲–上市–殺人–召回。更可怕的是,藥物的價格飛漲。甚至有些人把醫療活動當作掠奪金錢的工具。就像日本的地震,再加上海嘯,還遠遠不夠,然後跟來核輻射。
這是非常令人失望的,但是在機械還原論的誤導下是必然的。
鑒於,視人體為無生命的簡單構件機械組合的機械還原論已經展露其局限性,導致現代醫學無法進行理想地運作,我們必須考慮引入可行的哲學體係,作為增強的手段來指導醫學發展。這個哲學體係必須能夠解決心理壓力這個疾病的主要誘因,而不是僅僅關注致病原。
遵循這個宗旨,在現存哲學體係中,道家哲學具有絕對的優勢。
由於中醫具有較多的治療手段和大量的天然藥物可供選擇,因此在全球受到越來越多的歡迎。眾多令人信服的治愈案例,尤其是治療慢性退行性疾病的神奇療效,已使歐盟,美國食品和藥物管理局和加拿大批準中醫參與醫療服務,針灸和推拿等治療手段被納入醫療保險藥,中藥飲片和製成品可以作為飲食補充劑在市場上的銷售。
中醫藥的成就應該歸功於它的哲學方法-道家哲學。道家哲學是中國重要的古代哲學之一,對中國和東南亞的文明產生了深遠的影響。
道家哲學用辯證思維的整體觀看世界,將人與自然融為一體,是唯一符合客觀現實的哲學,是中華文明發展為人類文明的原因之一。西方人一直被叢林法則綁架,殺戮不斷,就是由於哲學理念的混亂,不能發展為人類文明。
道家哲學的精髓在於辯證觀,世間萬物都是對立統一體,處於既對立有統一的動平衡狀態。對立的雙方互為依存,不能單獨存在,失去一方,另一方自然消失。宇宙是由這種對立統一的子係統組成的。所有子係統之內和之間都是處於動態平衡狀態。
這種數千年前產生的原始哲學觀點與現代科學研究的自然界恰好吻合。例如:
從微觀角度看,小到原子,核外的電子與原子核都處於互相吸引和排斥狀態,電子在動態平衡下圍繞核旋轉。他們處於對立統一的狀態。原子是組成天然物質的基本材料。

從宏觀看,太陽係中的太陽與行星,以及太陽係與其它星係都是處於相互吸引和排斥的自調節狀態下旋轉。它們也處於對立統一的動平衡狀態。
來源:http://www.astronomytrek.com/solar-system/
道家具有辯證思維,並且與客觀現實相吻合。辯證思維的概念鼓勵人們從不同角度,不同方麵和不同層次詳細地研究問題,而不會遺漏任何東西。當處理現實中的矛盾時,這一點非常重要。
道家哲學看待人類生命是對立統一體。強調人體本身,人與自然,人與社會,人與精神都是相互影響的對立統一的整體。
道家哲學與機械還原論相反,與係統生物學一致。假設機械還原論關注喜馬拉雅山上的一顆特定的草,道家哲學不僅關注整個草叢,而且還關注那些會影響草叢生長的事物,例如害蟲,溫室效應和冰川封蓋麵減少等。
中醫是一種經驗醫學,它基於數千年的書麵記載,沒有現代解剖學和生物學的概念和術語,而是使用了道家哲學的概念和術語,視我們的身體為有機的整體,所有部分互相聯係並相互影響。一個平衡良好的人體將形成可以處理大多數致病原的有效自衛係統,可以抵抗任何疾病。疾病隻有在人體中某些部位不平衡時才會發生。
因此,中醫的治療不是針對病原體的殺滅,而是針對恢複身體的自然平衡。通過天然藥物,針灸和體育鍛煉等自然療法來達到此目的。在本質上,這一過程是在改善食欲,睡眠,營養供應,血液循環,腦部血液供應,提高免疫力,等等,等等。
因此,中醫中藥能夠治療西醫不能治愈的疾病,譬如,退行性疾病。因為沒有致病源,西醫西藥無能為力。
中藥可以減輕心理壓力的負麵影響。因為中藥可以促進釋放內啡肽,減少應激激素皮質醇,消除氧自由基,降低血壓,降低心率,放鬆肌肉組織,改善消化和睡眠。通過改善血液和淋巴液的循環來改善人體組織。良好的血液循環能為身體帶來更多新鮮的氧氣,從而緩解心理壓力。血液流量的增加將消除體內的廢物,並增加營養供應,以加快康複速度。 由於,減輕心理壓力,從而,減少了疾病的誘發,因此可以用於預防許多疾病。
在道家哲學辨證整體論的指導下,中醫藥發展了多種自然療法,確定了約11146種藥用植物,1581種藥用動物和80種藥用礦物質,並積累了近10萬種經驗方,涵蓋了幾乎所有已知疾病。中藥中所用的天然藥物具有生物活性成分,有的活性成分能夠直接殺死病原體,具有與合成藥物相似的治療作用,有的活性成分具有營養作用與正分子藥物相似。
可見,將中藥稱為草藥並不完全正確。
現代生化和藥理研究證明,中藥是根據治療效果進行科學分類的。例如,那些被分類為促進消化的食物富含鈣,鋅和鐵,而那些被用來增強男性性能力的食物則富含錳和銅。
一些中藥可以提高人體免疫力,例如,增加免疫器官的重量,增加吞噬細胞,NK細胞等的數量和活性。因此,從主觀上看,中醫的治療是調節身體的平衡,但在客觀實踐中,調節的過程是提高免疫功能,從而通過增強防禦係統殺死病原體。
傳統中藥的最大優勢在於它的廣譜性,較少的副作用,在一個劑量下具有多種成分應對多個靶標,因此,不易產生耐藥性。
盡管中醫沒有現代免疫學的概念,例如,免疫器官或免疫細胞,也沒有考慮過提高免疫力,但是,這些配方中的某些製劑通過增強人體免疫功能發揮了治療作用。免疫。更重要的是,當恢複患者的身體平衡時,患者的大多數不適症狀將得到很大改善,例如食欲不振,焦慮和失眠,患者不僅會在身體上而且在心理上也會感覺好得多。的確,身體的改善也起著心理治療的作用。疾病的恢複當然可以加速。
複方用藥是中醫治療的獨特方法,是將多種天然藥物合為一劑。研究證明,複方使用的藥物能夠產生協同作用,使彼此的治療作用疊加,副作用減少。
在中國,醫院大多設有西醫和中醫科室,患者可以隨意選擇,但是,中醫醫生多根據傳統中醫理論治療疾病,全都沉迷於經驗,忽視現代醫學對中藥藥理的研究。
當我在中國的一個研究所工作時,我的同事和他們的家人,如果在醫院的治療無效,他們會向我尋求助,我會根據現代藥理研究結果,用OTC中藥片劑組合,取得了驚人的療效。
更有價值的是,中醫強調心理因素在影響人類身體健康中起著決定性的作用,長期以來認為,疾病的治療,十分之七在促進心理康複,僅十分之三在藥物治療。現代雙盲實驗證明安慰劑可取的50-60%臨床治愈率,與中醫的看法接近。這也是藥物上市,需要進行雙盲臨床實驗的由來。
中藥可以通過調節身體平衡來增進心理治療的效果。有許多無法治愈,但是自我康複的例證。
1..切除受損的左半腦後,生活正常的人,MRI掃描發現右腦的某些區域已發展為消失部分的大腦的功能。
2 ..一個英國腦卒中男子,除了眼球外,都不能動,被醫生放在一邊等死,但是,他不想死,於是用意念驅動身體活動,從大腳趾開始,然後身體的其他部位。如此六個月,他自己站起來了。
疾病的治療應該關注整體身體機能的調劑,從優化內在生理機能來抵消心理因素的危害。這一點,至關重要,勝過藥物治療。
更令人高興的是,在中國,隨著現代技術的發展,基於那些經驗方,設計新配方,並通過提取或者濃縮藥物,生產了大量的OCT片劑和注射劑,易於在家中使用,並且價格低廉,私人可負擔得起。根據藥物的治療功能,OTC片劑幫助我們方便地選擇,自己治療某些疾病。
自從上個世紀臨床發現了安慰劑的作用以來,人們才注意到,許多合成藥物的臨床療效竟然低於安慰劑,還具有致命的副作用。因此,FDA要求合成藥物在投入臨床使用之前,必須有臨床雙盲實驗證明比安慰劑有效。
由於所有中藥的生物活性成分都是複合狀態,即使單一植物藥也是複合成分,因此,要弄清哪種成分在發揮哪種治療作用,幾乎是不可能的,因此,無法獲得西藥臨床雙盲試驗所要求的結果。
由於上述問題,世界衛生組織,歐洲共同體,美國,加拿大和許多其他國家發布了一些政策來促進傳統醫學的使用。他們認為,盡管某些傳統藥物的成分和治療機理尚不清楚,但由於其確切的治療效果和安全性,已被長期臨床使用證明。這些政策允許其進入藥品市場。
中藥就是以食品添加劑的稱謂進入臨床應用和市場銷售。
我見過很多次,在多倫多的中藥店裏,有一些中藥片劑斷貨,店員說,這些都是由當地白人一次買走的。事實表明,心腦血管患者已經體驗到中藥片劑的良好醫療作用。與西方合成藥物相比,高效沒有副作用,而且價格便宜。
事實表明,加拿大當地白人患者很容易接受中藥。
在醫學領域,係統生物學和循證醫學的出現表明,西醫正在逐漸增加整體醫學的成分,正在悄然從機械還原論向道家哲學的整體論靠近。
理性的哲學能夠指導人們進行理性思考,避免犯錯誤。
相比之下,在沒有正確哲學指導的情況下,大多數西方人都是從直覺上看問題,很少觸及深層次,很少考慮到不良後果,這就是西方之所以陷入不斷戰亂的原因之一。
上麵已經說過,我從事金屬材料科研工作,由於科研工作的特殊性,我的大部分工作時間都是在圖書館和實驗室中渡過,因而,有充足的時間用來自由閱讀。除了金屬材料專業期刊,我的所有業餘時間都用來學習中藥知識,尤其是用現代西醫的研究方法對中藥的有效成分和臨床藥理和毒性LD50的研究結果。下麵對我的學習收獲做以簡單匯報。
2011年12月21日,我寫了 Chinese Medicine - A Promising Therapeutic Approach 一文,後來持續更新。此文介紹了中醫的哲學理念,診斷和治療的方法,尤其是中藥藥理研究和臨床效果,以及治愈的病例。下麵的照片是我自己買的書籍和複印自中醫期刊的資料。

照片1的書名是《中藥藥理與臨床應用》; B5紙752頁,1999年發行3, 000冊。是一本應用現代西藥生物技術對1070種天然中藥進行藥理學和臨床應用的現代研究結果的合集。照片2的書名為《微量元素與中醫藥》;B5紙483頁,1993年發行6, 000冊。是天然中藥中微量化學元素的現代研究結果的合集。
這兩本書,我看到報道後,專程到北京中國中醫藥出版社買的。我擔心由於發行量小,大專院校和圖書館就可以全數買走了。
談到中藥中微量化學元素,必須談談正分子醫學。上世紀,美國兩次諾貝爾獎獲得者Linus Pauling博士提出正分子醫學(Orthomolecular)概念,用調節體內化學元素來治療和保持健康,微量元素Vitamins和礦物質minerals是其的重要組成部分,這也是現代營養補充劑巨大市場的由來。
現代研究發現,化學元素在人體中具有最佳範圍。當元素低於該範圍時,將發生元素缺乏症,這證明了正分子藥物的正確性。天然中藥富含對人體健康至關重要的化學元素,對微量元素缺乏症具有很高的臨床價值。與合成營養補充劑相比,中藥的化學元素具有易於吸收,較少氧化和變質等潛在風險的優點。
很久以前,中藥已經鑒定出約80種礦物質可藥用。現代研究還揭示了它們的藥理作用,例如,促進消化的天然中藥富含鈣,鋅和鐵,而促進性功能,性早熟並促進身高增長的中藥則富含錳和銅。
現在這兩本書出版已經超過二十年。我估計,在此期間,有關中藥的新發現的成果將可以整理出同等規模的書籍。

文章《中醫治療非典事跡》說,2003年1月28日早上, 87歲高齡的鄧鐵濤的弟子鄒旭,接鄧老到省中醫院二沙島分院,會診心髒病患者和一-位患有側索硬化肌肉萎縮的俄羅斯患者。在路上,鄒旭憂心忡忡地告訴鄧老,他的妻子(急診科護士長)感染了“非典型肺炎”已經3天了,高熱不退。鄧老根據所報告的病情症狀,提出處理的意見並強調必須停用抗生素與激素。
在二沙島會診之後,送鄧老回程之時,鄧老再一次嚴肅地對鄒旭說:你必須馬上回去把抗生素與激素停掉!用中藥治療。鄒旭回去按指示把抗生素停掉,辯證處方,寄望於中藥。值班醫生在旁說,停掉西藥行嗎?鄒旭堅持用中藥治療妻子3天後,燒退了,肺部的炎症改善了,看來可以逃過一劫了!
廣州中醫藥大學第一附屬醫院在臨床治療非典型肺炎的過程中,采取西醫確診,中醫藥治療的方法,取得顯著療效,到4月14日,一附院共收治非典患者36例,無一例死亡 ,絕大多數已痊愈出院,沒有留下任何後遺症,患者平均退燒時間為3天,平均住院時間不到9天,醫護人員無一人受到感染。
到2003年5月中旬,廣州中醫藥大學附屬一院純中醫治療50餘名病人,無一-例死亡,平均退燒時間3天,且醫護人員無一-人感染。而鍾南山院士所在的西醫型醫院西醫治療的117名病人,有10人死亡;其中有71名病人接受中醫介入治療,僅一例死亡。
也就是說,在人稱“抗擊非典第-功臣”的鍾南山領導下的醫院裏,接受純西醫治療的46名病人中,有9人死亡。
同樣值得提及的,接受中醫治療的病人沒有後遺症,而接受西醫治療的病人則大量出現肺部纖維化和股骨頭壞死症。治療費用對比也極其明顯。北京小湯山醫院的西醫治療調集了亞洲地區各國的呼吸機,每台呼吸機用完後就被焚燒銷毀,僅此- -項每人花費即達上萬元。
7.2..正分子醫學的奠基人亞伯蘭·霍弗和萊納斯·鮑林
亞伯蘭·霍弗(Abram Hoffer)是加拿大生物化學家,醫師和精神科醫生。他與著名遺傳學家恩斯特·梅耶(Ernst Mayer)共同發現了一種有效的降脂劑維生素B3(煙酸),然後,在加拿大薩斯喀徹溫省,由本地人,第一次進行受控臨床精神病學試驗。通過合理的營養,適當的藥物治療和大劑量水溶性維生素的治療,得出了治療急性精神分裂症的方法。
霍弗博士研究發現,大劑量的維生素B3(煙酸)和維生素C可以消除精神分裂症的症狀並減少複發。
由於霍弗的觀點不被接受,本人受到排擠。他辭職成立私人診所,並於1967年創刊《精神分裂症雜誌》Journal of Schizophrenia。1986年,由於營養療法廣泛適用於身體和精神疾病,該出版物最終定名為《正分子醫學雜誌》(Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine)。
為幫助他人戒酒,美國酒鬼比爾.威爾遜(Bill Wilson)與他人合作成立匿名戒酒互助會-AA。1960年,霍弗在紐約認識並向他介紹大劑量維生素療法的概念,告訴他某些精神分裂症病人也是嗜酒者。
比爾開始服用煙酸,每天3克。在幾個星期內,折磨了他多年的疲勞和抑鬱症消失了。他把煙酸分派給他的30名好朋友並說服他們嚐試它。在6個月內,他已確信煙酸對嗜酒者幫助很大。在30名試用煙酸的朋友當中,10名在一個月內消除了焦慮不安、緊張和抑鬱。另外10名在二個月內取得了同樣的效果。
他認為,化學或醫學術語對這種維生素不合適。他要說服AA的其他成員,尤其是醫生,把B3作為治療的有用補充,並且,他需要一個容易普及的術語。他問霍弗博士曾經用過的術語。霍弗博士告訴他,它最初被稱為維生素B-3。
由於推崇B-3,比爾受到國際戒酒互助會成員的排擠。這些比爾親自任命的醫生成員覺得沒有理由把維生素作為治療手段。他們不認為維生素B-3像比爾發現的那樣,具有治療作用。因為這個原因,1965年12月,Bill Wilson用B-3為名寫了小冊子《維生素B-3療法:精神分裂症的有希望的療法-與酒精中毒領域高度相關》The Vitamin B-3 Therapy: A Promising Treatment for Schizophrenia – and its high relevance to the field of alcoholism,在戒酒互助會的委員會之外向互助會的成員分發。
萊納斯·鮑林Linus Pauling讀過這本小冊子,受到啟發,提出了正分子醫學的概念。
這裏,必須對Linus Paulin博士提出正分子醫學(Orthomolecular)概念的原始動因和過程加以說明。
維生素,也稱為營養添加劑,屬於正分子醫學。
直到現在,提倡應用正分子醫學的人,還會受到學術攻擊。
萊納斯·鮑林(Linus Pauling,1901年2月28日-1994年8月19日),美國著名化學家,量子化學和結構生物學的先驅者之一。1930年代開始致力於化學鍵的研究, 1939年出版了在化學史上有劃時代意義的《化學鍵的本質》一書。
由於他聰明,勤奮好學,得到當時多位頂級教授的真傳。
鮑林還把化學研究推向生物學,他實際上是分子生物學的奠基人之一。他花了很多時間研究生物大分子,特別是蛋白質的分子結構,本世紀40年代初,他開始研究氨基酸和多肽鏈,發現多肽鏈分子內可能形成兩種螺旋體,一種是a -螺旋體,一種是g -螺旋體。他指出:一個螺旋是依靠氫鍵連接而保持其形狀的,也就是長的肽鍵螺旋纏繞,是因為在氨基酸長鏈中,某些氫原子形成氫鍵的結果。
作為蛋白質二級結構的一種重要形式,a -螺旋體,已在晶體衍射圖上得到證實,這一發現為蛋白質空間構像打下了理論基礎。由此,在1954年,鮑林榮獲諾貝爾化學獎的項目。
1954年以後,鮑林開始轉向大腦的結構與功能的研究,提出了有關麻醉和精神病的分子學基礎。鮑林是第一個提出“分子病”概念的人,他通過研究發現,鐮刀形細胞貧血症,就是一種分子病,包括了由突變基因決定的血紅蛋白分子的變態。即在血紅蛋白的眾多氨基酸分子中,如果將其中的一個穀氨酸分子用纈氨酸替換,就會導致血紅蛋白分子變形,造成鐮刀形貧血病。
鮑林通過研究,得出了鐮刀形紅細胞貧血症是分子病的結論。他還研究了分子醫學,寫了《矯形分子的精神病學》的論文,指出:分子醫學的研究,對解開記憶和意識之謎有著決定性的意義。
可以說,鮑林是唯一一位能夠從與原子如何構成生命基礎層麵了解人類生命的。
在鮑林博客The Pauling Blog 有一篇文章《紀念亞伯蘭·霍弗》Remembering Abram Hoffer, 介紹了亞伯蘭·霍弗(Abram Hoffer)。

文章《Vc拯救生命》Vitamin C Saves Lives說,自從萊納斯·鮑林在1970年寫了有關維生素C的書後,美國的心髒病死亡率降低了30-40%。到1986年,每年的死亡人數從約741,000例下降到不足500,000。
在寫此文時,我搜索到一篇中文文章《已知維生素C可以治愈30多種重大疾病50多年了》。
然而,直到今天,還能搜索到抨擊萊納斯·鮑林的文章。
可悲的是,很多批評萊納斯·鮑林的人,既不是化學家,也不是醫生。這令我想起對人類本性的研究。
英國哲學家和諾貝爾獎獲得者伯特蘭·羅素(Bertrand Russell,1872-1970年)曾說過:“我們這個時代的痛苦事情之一,是那些感到信心十足的人,恰恰是愚蠢的,那些具有想象力和理解力的人,卻充滿了懷疑和猶豫。”
鄧寧-克魯格效應Dunning-Kruger effect研究表明,那些能力低的人,往往自我評價過高,認為比其他人更聰明和更有能力。
那些批評萊納斯·鮑林的人,就屬此類可悲之徒。

Vitamin C (vitamin) for treatment of Pneumonia in Adults with Pneumonia
https://www.curefacts.com/details?cardId=1000051
Treatment with Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid tablets). Allows faster recovery for 20% of the patients, according to the only study conducted with 140 adults with Pneumonia. More research is needed. Seems safe.
Recommendations
Consider this treatment: Only one research was done, showing faster recovery in 1 in 5 patients. Although more research is needed, since side effects seem negligible, this treatment combined with traditional treatment seems reasonable.
Any excess of Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) is evacuated from our body through the urine. This makes vitamin C pretty safe even in high dosages.
Vitamin C and Community-acquired Pneumonia
https://doi.org/10.1164/ajrccm.184.5.621a PubMed: 21885641
Waterer and colleagues considered that nutrition may affect the severity of community-acquired pneumonia, and suggested that further studies are needed to find out which patients with pneumonia are at highest risk of delayed mortality (1). I would like to point out that the possible role of vitamin C on pneumonia should be studied.
Several studies have documented reduced levels of vitamin C in patients with pneumonia (2, 3). Dozens of animal studies found that vitamin C protected against bacterial and viral infections, including pneumonia, indicating that the physiological effects of this vitamin are not limited to preventing overt deficiency (2). Therefore, we performed a systematic review on the effect of vitamin C in the prevention and treatment of pneumonia (4) and found three prophylactic trials and two treatment trials, reporting significant benefit of vitamin C against pneumonia. The randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled treatment trial by Hunt and coworkers (3) is particularly interesting.
Hunt and colleagues studied the effect of 0.2 g/day vitamin C on 66- to 94-year-old patients who were taken into the hospital because of pneumonia or acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis (3). Vitamin C or placebo was administered in addition to the normal medication. Vitamin C significantly improved the “total respiratory score” in the most severely ill patients, but had no effect on the less ill patients (3). Moreover, there were six deaths during the trial—all among the most severely ill patients. Five of the deaths occurred in the placebo group, but only one in the vitamin C group.
In a study using a combination of vitamins C and E, Nathens and coworkers (5) found no effect on the incidence of nosocomial pneumonia in critically ill surgical patients, but days of mechanical ventilation (−0.9; −0.6 to −1.2) were significantly reduced in the antioxidant group. Although this study is not specific to vitamin C, it suggests that antioxidants may affect pulmonary morbidity. More research on vitamin C and other antioxidants seems to be warranted.
Vitamin C may affect lung infections
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2099400/
每天約10毫克的維生素C可預防壞血病,但安全劑量範圍可擴展至每天數克。在美國的營養建議中,成人的“容許攝入量上限”為每天2克。該上限的基礎是腹瀉的出現; 但是,這是一個很小的副作用,當攝入量降低時,該副作用會迅速消失。盡管有人猜測大劑量維生素C的潛在危害,但已證明是沒有根據的。此外,已有研究表明,肺炎患者每天最多可服用100克維生素C。腹瀉的發生可能是由於嚴重感染引起的維生素C代謝變化所致。最後,在最近的藥代動力學研究中,參與者在數小時內靜脈內服用了100 g維生素C,未見任何不良反應,表明如此高劑量對健康人的安全性。
Vitamin C for preventing and treating pneumonia
https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD005532.pub3/full
Abstract
Background
Pneumonia is one of the most common serious infections, causing two million deaths annually among young children in low‐income countries. In high‐income countries pneumonia is most significantly a problem of the elderly.
Objectives
To assess the prophylactic and therapeutic effects of vitamin C on pneumonia.
Search methods
We searched CENTRAL 2013, Issue 3, MEDLINE (1950 to March week 4, 2013), EMBASE (1974 to April 2013) and Web of Science (1955 to April 2013).
Selection criteria
To assess the therapeutic effects of vitamin C, we selected placebo‐controlled trials. To assess prophylactic effects, we selected controlled trials with or without a placebo.
Data collection and analysis
Two review authors independently read the trial reports and extracted data.
Main results
We identified three prophylactic trials which recorded 37 cases of community‐acquired pneumonia in 2335 people. Only one was satisfactorily randomised, double‐blind and placebo‐controlled. Two trials examined military recruits and the third studied boys from "lower wage‐earning classes" attending a boarding school in the UK during World War II. Each of these three trials found a statistically significant (80% or greater) reduction in pneumonia incidence in the vitamin C group. We identified two therapeutic trials involving 197 community‐acquired pneumonia patients. Only one was satisfactorily randomised, double‐blind and placebo‐controlled. That trial studied elderly patients in the UK and found lower mortality and reduced severity in the vitamin C group; however, the benefit was restricted to the most ill patients. The other therapeutic trial studied adults with a wide age range in the former Soviet Union and found a dose‐dependent reduction in the duration of pneumonia with two vitamin C doses. We identified one prophylactic trial recording 13 cases of hospital‐acquired pneumonia in 37 severely burned patients; one‐day administration of vitamin C had no effect on pneumonia incidence. The identified studies are clinically heterogeneous which limits their comparability. The included studies did not find adverse effects of vitamin C.
Authors' conclusions
The prophylactic use of vitamin C to prevent pneumonia should be further investigated in populations who have a high incidence of pneumonia, especially if dietary vitamin C intake is low. Similarly, the therapeutic effects of vitamin C should be studied, especially in patients with low plasma vitamin C levels. The current evidence is too weak to advocate prophylactic use of vitamin C to prevent pneumonia in the general population. Nevertheless, therapeutic vitamin C supplementation may be reasonable for pneumonia patients who have low vitamin C plasma levels because its cost and risks are low.

The approaches for enhancing the social cornerstones of Canada
Frank Li June 26, 2018 - April 6, June 19, 26, 2019 in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

Abstract: The social cornerstones of Canada should be the healthcare system, manufacturing industry and Canada Pension Plan - CPP. This article aims at radically improve healthcare system and revive manufacturing industry, at the same time find opportunity for enhancing CPP by reverse thinking and philosophical updating, rather than simply appeals for Gov-investment.
1.. The improvement of healthcare system
Jan. 2010, the professor at Pennsylvania State University Rustum Roy who indicates that, in the US, there almost 20% of the average citizen's life spent chronically ill, many American live a poor quality of life in old age. Though medical science has won major extensions of lifespan, but these are negated by the failure to tackle the chronic disease. There about 75% of total social medical spending cost in chronic diseases, which is unnecessary due to that chronic diseases are preventable or reversible simply by diet and lifestyle.
In this regards, Canada should be similar with that of the US. Due to that chronic diseases are degenerative without pathogens for killing, so that western medicine is helpless, which caused by the limitation of its medical philosophy - Reductionism that views human body as a mechanical combination of inanimate parts in treatment by looking for killing, which ignored that human body is a psycho-emotion-driven organic whole, so that treatment should be mainly on promoting self-healing.
1955, the Western Medicine practitioner Henry K. Beecher, M.D. who published article The Powerful Placebo to have indicated that placebos are effective in 50 or 60 percent of subjects with certain conditions. In Jan. 2008, a study of crossing-disciplines of psychology, medicine, neuroscience, and genetics reveals that Stress Causes Everything from gums to heart and make more susceptible to everything from the common cold to cancer, which proved TCM’s thousand years’ believe that treatment is seven-tenth in psychotherapy only three-tenth in medication with a joke of an funny clown is better than a dozen doctors in curative effect. Modern studies have convinced that a positive psychological state do can promote a healthy physiological state.
Many self-recovered cases, especially whom live a normal life after half brain removed from injury, show that human body has magic ability in self-recovering in large scale, and that Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is in medicinal & nutritional integrated and in working at restoration of health balance (Yin and Yang), which is in treating diseases through promoting self-healing by nearly 100 thousands of experience-based formulas that cover almost all known diseases based on medicinally identified 11,146 plants, 1581 animals and 80 minerals and most of them were identified bioactive nutritional and medicinal components with LD50s in the level of molecular, protein and gene by modern bio-technologies.
Now, according to those experience-based formulas and the bio-technological findings on bioactive substances and their pharmacological effects, especially in consideration of LD50s, China has developed many OTC tablets in medicinal extracts, which is available in any pharmacy of Chinese Medicine in Canada and globally. According to my experience, the combo of the natural medicinal OTC tablets can make psychotic a convincing recovery in 3 to 5 days, and there was report that Chinese medicine can make Alzheimer’s patient a convincing recovery in months.
As the chronic diseases are the major cause of poor quality of people’s life with major social medical spending and TCM are good at curing chronic disease, so that the OTC tablets Chinese medicine will largely solve the dilemma in healthcare by helping people self-help in the treatment of chronic diseases and common diseases in private affordable and home handy, which will effectively help to unload the overloaded public healthcare. Also, according to the theory of TCM, we can develop the planting and processing of natural medicinal as industries with huge profit potential and the creation of employment and revenue.
The medical philosophy of TCM is Daoism, it is contrary with Reductionism and is similar with Holism and consistent with systems biology. Suppose that Reductionism focuses on a specific grass on the Himalayas, and then the Daoism is not only focusing on the entire grass, but also concerning the factors that would affect the growth of grass. The emergence of system biology and evidence-based medicine are showing that Western medicine is starting to step toward the Holistic way with enlarging the scope of medical analysis, which shows that Western medicine is turning its head from the philosophical root toward the ancient Daoism after hitting on the wall by misleading of Reductionism.
As my view, the cause of long waits for treatment in Canada is not due to underfunded or understaffed at all, but due to that has no effective treatment available in current health system. Suppose that we introduce new effective treatments to cure patients timely, and then there would be no patients long queued any more.
More significantly, the treatment for the most of thorny diseases is much easier by simply use of OTC tablets Chinese medicinals in private affordable, which can radically unload the overloaded healthcare system, and also we can develop profitable industries in the planting and processing of natural medicinals according to the theories Traditional Chinese Medicine that experience-develop-recorded continuously by trial and error in past thousands of years.
We must stop to irrationally look for critique to fight for ideological value in the delusional heaven, but, instead rationally look for solution to meet the needs of people’s life to strive for practical value in the actual earth.
1.1.. Introduce cancer treatment by injecting chemo into tumor within 10 minutes
The patented cancer treatment is to kill cancer by injecting chemo into tumor within 10 minutes without the need of medication and hospitalization and without harms the tissue or organ outside of tumor; patients can live in quality life as usual in comparison with the treatment in Radiation, Chemo and Surgery.
According to Cancer statistics at a glance - Canadian Cancer Society, in Canada 2017, an estimated 206,200 new cases of cancer, in average, 565 Canadians were diagnosed with cancer every day. Cancer is the leading cause of death in Canada and is responsible for 30% of all deaths.
The inventor Dr. Yu conceived the idea in 1990 when doctoral study in the United States, now, it has been nearly 30 years, Dr. Yu has never stop in perfecting the operation. In recent phone call, he said that he is in trying to use Robert for locating the accurate potion of injection needle into tumor. Obviously, the accurate potion of injection needle is very important and not easy to reach it.
We may have experience that there are many things that look simple, but once do it personally, we will find that the difficulty is far beyond our imagination. In this world, nothing is easy for doing. However, for those who are persistently striving toward determined goal, there nothing is difficult at all.
Thanks the hard work of Dr, Yu for creating an effective cancer treatment, so that we can help Canadian cancer patients to get treatment quickly with a quality life without suffer in unbearable medical burden, and the high efficiency of patented cancer treatment can largely save medical manpower in cancer treatment for the treatment of other diseases, thereby largely unload the overloaded healthcare system.
1.2.. Treat degenerative chronic diseases by OTC tablets Chinese medicinals
It said that in the U.S., there almost 20% of the average citizen's life spent chronically ill, and almost 75% of total social medical spending cost in chronic diseases, in Canada, it will be the same in the major.
Recent decades, China has developed large amount of OTC tablets Chinese medicinals based on TCM. people may find the bottled or boxed OTC tablets Chinese medicinals with instructions in any pharmacy of Chinese medicine world widely, and also if you tell the salesperson what kind of disease, he or she will quickly take the medicinal to you. The FDA, the EU and Canada were all legislated Chinese medicinals as nutrient supplements.
Modern studies revealed the mechanism of the magic effect of Chinese medicinals.
Nov. 7, 2017, article Plant Nutrient 'Cocktail' Kills Breast Cancer Cells reports that combined nutrients from daily foods turmeric, soybeans, broccoli, grapes and tea were ineffective against breast cancer cell growth; and the studies proved that Vitamin c and Vitamin E both showed inhibiting on tumors, which provided support for Chinese Medicine, since that Chinese Medicine is in rich such ingredients and is the base for taking therapeutic effect.
The natural Chinese medicinals are capable to improve gut microbiome and promote the expression of the nerve growth factor brain-derived neurotrophic factor - BDNF. Modern studies proved that human digestive system - Gut is second brain in producing 95% of Serotonin, neurons and most neurotransmitters, which means that we can treat diseases by improving the Gut-microbiome and thus there was reports that Nutrition Psychiatry is the future of mental health treatment.
Modern studies and clinical practice have also proved that OTC tablets Chinese medicinals can cure degenerative chronic diseases by the promotion of patients’ self-restoration.
Sep. 30, 2019, study reported that triple commonly used drugs combination has extended the lifespan of fruit flies by 48%. The researchers suggest that a combination drug treatment may be helpful at preventing age-related diseases in people and other studies have proved that combination of botanicals can produce synergistic effects with reducing side effects.
The age-related diseases are caused by degeneration in the physical function, as my view that the most of diseases are caused by degeneration in the physical function in all of ages, which mean that improving physical function is an approach for disease treatment and the treatment of Chinese medicinals are just focusing at this point.
The combo that combined by many OTC tablets Chinese medicinals together in keeping their own doses showed magic curative effect in thorny disease treatment.
Even though, those evidenced-based OTC tablets were compound formula on certain diseases, but, as my experience, the most powerful curative is at selecting many of them together as new combo in much more pharmaceuticals-integrated has showed more powerful synergetic effect in more less side effects, which is as that a weaker grenade is enhanced as hydrogen bomb, which is a magic to cure specific diseases with quick convincing recovery, such as:
The ischemic heart disease in one or two doses;
The Schizophrenia in days, and
The Alzheimer’s diseases in weeks;
According to Heart disease in Canada: Highlights from the Canadian Chronic Disease Surveillance System in 2017 on the website of government of Canada, the heart disease is the leading cause of hospitalization and the ischemic heart disease is the most common form of heart disease, is the first cause of premature mortality and the second leading cause of ill-health, disability or early death.
According to March-2008 report Stays in Canadian acute care hospitals costly: report: the costs of patient stays in acute care hospitals account for 47 per cent of hospital expenditures with biggest share of hospital spending. The average cost of an acute care hospital stay per patient is $7,000. Heart attacks and strokes were the most costly to treat in acute care hospitals, accounting for 19 per cent of inpatient costs in 2004 and 2005. A cardiac or stroke patient costs the hospital an average of $11,260 per stay.
Then please look at the burden of mental diseases
May 10, 2018, Ontario’s growing mental health demands have strained hospitals, such as Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket, in ways healthcare officials here haven’t seen before - a overcrowding with patients sleeping in meeting rooms, and three people squeezed into a room designed for one.
Wait times at Ontario hospitals climbed to record high this summer, data shows.
The Schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s diseases are both most thorny one for treatment with big burden socially, and OTC tablets Chinese medicine is just able to treat them.
In views that the treatment of Western medicine by looking pathogens for killing has hit on the wall, we must reset the direction of disease treatment towards the natural way of the Creator has prepared for humans at the time in busy creating human being; and the people of China has prepared them ready for enjoyment.
The evidence is clear, the use of OTC tablets Chinese medicinals will be largely improve the life quality of people. By good use of OTC tablets Chinese medicinals, we can treat chronic diseases by patients self-helping in self spending; thus, at the time, the patients are able to enjoy a healthy life, we are also able to unload the overloaded healthcare system radically.
Indeed, some daily foods can cure some thorny diseases. The key is at properly promote them.
1.. Vinegar: Dec. 1, 2019, the report Improved oral hygiene care is associated with decreased risk of occurrence for atrial fibrillation and heart failure: A nationwide population-based cohort study suggests that "Improved oral hygiene care was associated with decreased risk of atrial fibrillation and heart failure. Healthier oral hygiene by frequent tooth brushing and professional dental cleaning may reduce risk of atrial fibrillation and heart failure."
I feel that just brushing teeth with a toothbrush does not guarantee cleanliness, especially calculus. Dental diseases mainly come from calculus, which destroys the connection between the gingiva and teeth. My three teeth have been exposed, and I can't stand, and tried to gargle my mouth with water diluted 0.2% vinegar. it was not only no pain on my teeth, but also the decayed and sunken gingiva have grown again, and the black roots of teeth have disappeared.
2.. Cabbage: I have an ulcer on stomach by B-ultrasound and I always is in bloating. As long as I eat cabbage, the bloating will disappear. Googled found that cabbage is rich in vitamin K1 and vitamin U, which is conducive to healing and repair of gastric ulcers, and can also promote the activation of gastric cells and reduce the incidence of disease.
1.3.. By general hospital or Walk-in-Clinics replaces family doctor system
For the problem of long wait for treatment, that improper medical procedure was also one of the causes, in which, patients have to wander between scatter located family doctors, specialists, and laboratories, in most of time, the family doctors and specialists work as nurse to send patients to continue wandering somewhere else. In this process, each step needs a long time to wait.
The best way is by general hospital or Walk-in-Clinics replacing family doctor system (it was born in the Era of poor transportation) along with the natural retirement. Also we may attract family doctors to work in the Walk-in-Clinics by increasing their real incomes from sharing their saved in cutting off pays for self clinic rental, medical equipments and medical assistants, which will increase efficiency and avoid improper medical charging on government when services separately.
2.. The revival of manufacturing industry
A team of uOttawa studied Nortel's activities from 1997 to 2009 to conclude that Nortel failed amid 'culture of arrogance and hubris’, according to my experience, in daily production of many businesses, there were large amount of wastes that are easy preventable by simply improving equipments and I have made suggestions to the managements in all level, but failed due to their arrogance and hubris. The fact that 3M Canada saves energy 30% by the accountability of ISO50001 revealed that there is huge profit potential hides in low productivity and indicted effective means - accountability to easily excavate them out as enjoyable. The accountability integrates incentive can radically revive Canada’s manufacturing industry with about 10% profit gains with lesser spending.
3.. The strategy of CPP investment
In viewing that Japan’s Pension Fund Loses $52 Billion as Stocks Slump in April-June 2016 and Norway's Government Pension Fund in Oil Makes Every Norwegian a Millionaire, Canada pension Plan must retarget investment towards real economy of Canada by taking over all available wealth, especially, the farmland to develop in kind base and as key body of state-owned economy to make profit for all Canadians at the juncture of baby boomer generation farmers retiring.
4.. A nonpartisan assistant of government
We should develop Business Council of Canada as assistant in social governance with the advantage of political neutrally to avoid the harm of democratic opposition.
2.10.. Vinegar is magic versatile medicine with safest, handy and most affordable
The experiences of myself inspired me to dig the therapeutic effect of vinegar.
2.10.1.. Cured periodontal inflammation
Year ago, my teeth pain, I use vinegar to gargle mouth, the teeth pain was gone immediately, then I gargle mouth with vinegar every day.
Now, it was nearly one year, every day, I use toothpick brush to dip in vinegar and then brush the gaps between teeth one by one, see follow photo.
The enamel of my up left teeth nearby middle one has corrosion hole for over a year, but after gargling mouth with vinegar, it was not only not pain, but also covered by white hard objects, see follow photo.
The toothpick brush The corrosion hole
Now, my periodontal inflammation eliminated, the local atrophy of the gums grew up again, and the loose teeth also stabled again, there was no periodontal inflammation and loose teeth any more.
No doubt, no any medications in Western pharmaceuticals can achieve such a curative results.
Suppose that I have gone to see dentist, he would help several of my teeth to enjoy in new place.
2.10.2.. Knee pain
I have been suffering from my right knee pain for years, it was not a persistent pain, but, in some cloudy day. It was cured after dinking vinegar entirely.
2.10.3.. Cured eczema
In the sweating summer, sometimes I have eczema behind my ears. The mucus of eczema was easily to stand on the finger and to be transmitted to other parts of the body. Any area once being touched, immediately infected without exception. I once used expensive prescription ointment and the effect is not satisfactory.
You may imagine the funny that smear sticky ointment on the sticky mucus of eczema, even if it can take effect, it may last at least a week.
Later, I smeared the area of eczema by 1-2 % of vinegar in volume, only within a few minutes; the area of eczema was dried up and healed entirely.
Indeed, the time of healing was just a time of the wet skin dried up. When smearing vinegar, there was slight feeling of stinging, but, it disappeared immediately without any feeling of uncomfortable.
Whether in East or West, the Vinegar was earlier as medicinally used.
The curative experiences accumulated to this day, vinegar has recognized as magic pharmaceutical with most broad-spectrum in the diseases treatment with safest. It shows curative effect almost on any conditions, which is unmatched by any known pharmaceuticals.
The medicinal use of vinegar in TCM
In China, the vinegar used as medicine for a long time and with a most wide range of treated diseases among all medicinal materials in TCM.
The treated disease by using vinegar in TCM, which summarized by Googling on Internet
Vinegar tastes sour and non-toxic
1. Eliminate blood stasis, 2. Stop bleeding, 3. Detoxification, 4. Insecticide, 5. Postpartum bleeding, 6. Phlegm, 7. Jaundice, 8. Yellow sweat, 9. Vomiting blood, 10. Blood stasis, 11. Blood in the stool, 12. Itching of the genitals, 13. Hemorrhoids, 14. Elimination of fish poison, 15. Kill vicious, 16. Joint pain, 17. Get rid of gas, 18. Cure heartache, 19. Enhance the efficacy of various drugs, 20. Benefit blood, 21. Treat sore throat, 22. Improve appetite, 23. Cure the fainting, 24. Treat the sleep dream; 25. Enhance lung, 26. Cure the diarrhea, 27. Nourish liver, 28. Strengthen the ribs, 29. Strengthen the bones, 30. Sober up, 31.Digest the food, 32. Tuberculosis, 33. Night sweats, 34. Antiperspirant; 35. Intestinal bleeding of typhoid fever, 36. Cure biliary ascariasis, 37. Elimination of cellulitis, 38. Elimination of erysipelas, 39. Elimination of abscess, 40. Cure mumps, 41. Cure mastitis, 42. Relieve chronic pain, 43. Cure Varicose Veins, 44. Cure irritable bowel syndrome, 45. Stop a cold, 46. Improve brain function, and so on.
Treating lime burns, soaking the affected area with 5% vinegar solution, the burning sting of the affected area and the symptoms of facial flushing can be immediately relieved; if a corrosive ulcer is formed, it can also be healed.
Some of the clinical studies in Western medicine
The curative effect on varicosity symptoms
Jan. 3, 2016, article The Effect of External Apple Vinegar Application on Varicosity Symptoms, Pain, and Social Appearance Anxiety: A Randomized Controlled Trial reports that:
There 120 patients were planned as an experimental, randomized, and controlled study on external apple vinegar application to evaluate with regard to cramps, pain, leg fatigue perception, edema, itching, pigmentation, and weight feelings in the leg, VAS, and SAAS averages.
The control group had a decrease in such symptoms (p > 0.05) although the decrease in the application group was higher and statistically meaningful (p < 0.05).
Conclusion, the result determined that the external application of apple vinegar on varicosity patients, which is a very easy application, increased the positive effects of conservative treatment.

Abstract
Aim:
This study aimed at introducing a simple natural remedy for adequate clinical symptomatic relief of Helicobacter pylori dyspepsia.
Background:
Helicobacter pylori remains a challenging worldwide medical problem due to its extreme widespread prevalence, the lost quality of life of patients, the economic burden associated with its upper gastrointestinal symptoms and its close relation to acid peptic disease, gastric carcinoma and lymphoma. A massive knowledge has lately evolved concerning rediscovery and treatment of H. pylori; in fact, most of this information is exceedingly in need of re-assessment and redetermination. As acetate exists among the end products in the metabolism of H. pylori; therefore, vinegar could interfere with the energy metabolism and the respiratory chain of the bacterium according to the rules of feedback regulation and product inhibition.
Patients and Methods:
100 Patients were included in this study according to their clinical symptoms and serology testing. Their age ranged between 35-50 years, 11 patients were newly diagnosed. All were given a vinegar-mixed food or salad during meals for 10 days.
Results:
90 patients showed complete disappearance of their clinical symptoms. 7 patients showed incomplete relief of symptoms; their symptoms were relieved after revision of treatment. Recurrence occurred in 3 patients which were easily treated. Disappearance of clinical symptom was considered a clinical cure of symptoms with no need for further testing.
Conclusion:
The natural remedy used in this study, acetic acid (dietary vinegar), proved to be simple, costless and effective, even the relief of clinical symptoms was immediate and rather dramatic. It constitutes a simple and decisive solution for the economic burden and the lost patient’s quality of life caused by H. pylori.

Background
The aim of the study was to demonstrate the effect of natural Helicobacter pylori eradication on blood pressure values. The prevalence of hypertension in developing countries has been considered by some reports a consequence of progress and life style changes. In spite of that, traditional risk factors do not appear fully sufficient to explain the rising figures of hypertensive illness which further indicates that attempts to control the problem depending upon traditional measures can never be adequate or decisive. H. pylori could migrate or get forced to migrate to the colon; it will continue producing ammonia for a reason or no reason leading to accumulation of profuse toxic amounts of ammonia, unopposed or buffered by any acidity, which could lead to multiple colonic and a high rectal spasm. A colonic re-absorptive error is established with excessive fluid and salt retention in the body that would definitely lead to hypertension which is supposed to remain inadequately controlled without correction of the underlying etiologic pathological error. It is a prospective study, conducted at Balghsoon Polyclinic, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Patients and Methods
A prospective study was held in Balghsoon Polyclinic, Saudi Arabia during the period from May 2011 to October 2013. The study included 99 different nationality male patients living in Saudi Arabia. The age of patients ranged between 25 and 55 years and they were receiving different groups of antihypertensive medications.
All patients followed a natural remedy for gastric and colon care to complete eradication of abnormal behavior H. pylori strains; 20 cc of dietary white vinegar 5-6% mixed with a food staff (white cheese, mashed potato or yoghurt which is the best preferred food stuff for the vinegar to be mixed with), two times daily during meals for 7 - 10 days [21]. Confirmation of H. pylori eradication by urea breath test and H. pylori fecal antigen was done at end of natural therapy [20]. All individuals included in the study were treated as outpatients.
Results
Ninety patients were able to resume normal blood pressure (BP) values and quit their medications.
Conclusion
The concept of the colonic re-absorptive error considered in this study is not just hypothetical as upon its basis, most patients of the study (90.9%) were able to quit medications and maintain normal BP values.
The concept of the colonic re-absorptive error considered in this study is not just hypothetical as upon the basis of this concept; most of the patients of the study (90.9%) were able to quit their medications and maintain normal BP values by mere natural eradication of H. pylori, colon care and colon clear, although they were inadequately controlled in spite of regular follow-up of medications and extreme carefulness about their style of life.
Revision of the current guidelines of H. pylori eradication and management of hypertension may be needed. Therapy with dietary vinegar and natural senna purge is a promising remedy and is worthy of further accurate determination and wider practical applications.

A self recovered case of vinegar seriously injured throat
Oct. 2002, the report Corrosive oesophageal injury following vinegar ingestion introduced that A 39-year-old woman suspected a small piece of crab shell lodged in her throat. She drank one tablespoon of household rice vinegar in the belief that it would dissolve the shell, but, the sensation of foreign body and pain persisted.
The patient attended a general out-patient clinic in the next day and was referred to an emergency department.
The endoscopic check found the inflammation of the oropharynx and second-degree caustic injury of the oesophagus (Fig 1) and the cardia (Fig 2) about 22 to 30 cm. There was no evidence of a foreign body. The stomach and duodenum were normal. She was discharged with antacids.
She was entirely symptom-free at the follow-up visit in week later, endoscopy was not repeated. At another follow-up visit in 4 months later, she remained symptom-free.
A self-recovered case of vinegar injured throat and esophago-gastric
January 1991, a report Esophago-gastric mucosal injury following vinegar ingestion introduced that, a 62 year-old woman was endoscopied for odynophagia and investigation of a foreign body in the esophagus. She mistakenly swallowed a fish bone 4 days prior to endoscopy and she drank 50 CCs of rice vinegar (acetic acid, 4.2%) in order to soften the ingested bone.
The panendoscopy revealed diffuse reddish swollen mucosa with scattered erosions and ulcerations from the oropharynx level down to the esophago-gastric junction of the esophagus. Acute erosive gastritis excepting the antro-pyloric region was observed. The duodenal bulb was not affected and no foreign body was discovered.
A follow-up endoscopy after 3 weeks of antacid therapy revealed no gastric lesions other than minimal esophagitis. The patient presented with no symptoms.

Vinegar will be the best therapy that will largely reduce the load of universal healthcare
Vinegar will be the most affordable medication with most wide range of therapeutic effects for helping people self-help in diseases treatment and health keeping, as a best way out for the plight of universal healthcare in Canada to reduce long waits for treatment and over hospitalized.
New version antibiotic on the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections will be no better than Vinegar
Sept 21, 2018, there was report that FDA approved infectious disease product (QIDP) of MicuRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc., for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections.
I have confidence for Vinegar will be much better in quick curative than that of above new version antibiotic, besides no bad side effect and lesser expensive as same as free in comparison with those synthetics.
Vinegar can control the estrus of sows.
Some sows may be estrus in 3 to 6 days after delivery, but because the ovarian function has not fully recovered, they cannot be pregnant or have a low pregnancy rate. At this time, if fed the sow with 500 ml of vinegar, in the next day, the sow can be quiet down; then in following two days, fed 500 ml of vinegar in each day, the sows can be returned to normal. For sows that do not estrus for a long time after weaning, fed 500 ml of vinegar. After 3 days, the sows will be estrus.
2.11.. Cabbage is a magic medicine that can cure many diseases, especially gastritis
Years ago, B-ultrasound once found a stomach ulcer, I often suffer stomach bloating for years. I once took Western drug prescribed by doctors. Google found that the drug only inhibits the secretion of the gastric acid with has side effects, of course, without a better curative.
Later I found that, many times, after eating cabbage, the bloating feeling disappeared. Google and was surprised, the cabbage is one of the health foods recommended by the World Health Organization, and even there is article called it a stomach medicine.
Now, the Cabbage in my daily diet, and of course, I have no feeling of bloating.
As my view, the Cabbage is No. 1 curative medication for stomach problems, any drug can't be compared.
2.11.1.. The medicinal use of Cabbage in China
In China, there were records of Cabbage as medicinal use in 1400 years ago in the book of Essential Formulas for Emergencies that listed about 5300 recipes, in which described Cabbage as: sweet, non-toxic; nourish internal organs, long-term diet benefits the kidneys, benefits the marrow and brain. The seeds can cure sleepy.
The writer was Sun Simiao (541 or 581 - 682) who was a famous doctor in TCM and was titled as China's King of Medicine with tremendous care to his patients.
The book Supplement to Compendium of Materia Medica (Author Zhao Xuemin 1719 –1805) was also mentioned that Cabbage can nourish bone marrow, enhance internal organs, dredge meridians, improve ears and eyes, fitness, sober brain, enhance heart, strengthen bones, cure jaundice, cure digestive ulcers and pain, cure arthritis; long-term diet benefit kidney.
2.11.2.. Modern pharmaceutical studies
On the website of www.webmd.com there are systematic introduction about medicinal use of Cabbage, I reproduce as follow.
Overview
Cabbage is used for stomach pain, stomach and intestinal ulcers, acid reflux (GERD), a stomach condition called Roemheld syndrome, and high cholesterol. Cabbage is also used to treat asthma and morning sickness. It is also used to prevent weak bones (osteoporosis), as well as cancer of the lung, stomach, colon, breast and other types of cancer.
Insufficient Evidence for
Bladder cancer: There is some evidence that people who eat large amounts of cabbage and related vegetables, such as kale, broccoli, and cauliflower, have a lower risk of developing bladder cancer.
Colorectal cancer: There is some evidence that people who eat large amounts of cabbage and related vegetables, such as kale, broccoli, and cauliflower, have a lower risk of developing colorectal cancer.
Stomach cancer: There is some evidence that people who eat large amounts of cabbage and related vegetables, such as kale, broccoli, and cauliflower, have a lower risk of developing stomach cancer.
High cholesterol. Early research suggests that adding cabbage and broccoli to a beverage containing fruit and other vegetables for 3-9 weeks might lower "bad" low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in people with high cholesterol.
Lung cancer: There is some evidence that people who eat large amounts of cabbage and related vegetables, such as kale, broccoli, and cauliflower, have a lower risk of developing lung cancer.
Osteoarthritis: Early research shows that applying cabbage leaf wraps to the knees for at least 2 hours per day for 4 weeks reduces pain in people with knee osteoarthritis. The cabbage leaf wraps seem to work as effectively as applying gel containing the medicine diclofenac.
Pancreatic cancer: There is some evidence that people who eat large amounts of cabbage have a lower risk of developing pancreatic cancer.
Prostate cancer: Some evidence shows that people who eat large amounts of cabbage and related vegetables, such as kale, broccoli, and cauliflower, have a lower risk of developing prostate cancer. However, other evidence shows no benefit.
Stomach pain; Stomach and intestinal ulcers; Excess stomach acid; Asthma; Morning sickness; Preventing osteoporosis.
Applied to skin: For enlarged and painful breasts during breast-feeding: Cabbage leaves are prepared by stripping out the large vein of the cabbage leaf, cutting a hole for the nipple, and then rinsing and chilling the leaf. The chilled cabbage leaf is worn inside the bra or as a compress under a cool towel until the cabbage leaf reaches body temperature (approximately 20 minutes). This procedure is repeated 1-4 times daily for 1-3 days.
Side Effects & Safety
Cabbage is LIKELY SAFE when consumed in food amounts. It is POSSIBLY SAFE for most people when taken by mouth in medicinal amounts or when applied to the skin, short-term. Some people have reported pain and burning sensations when applying cabbage to the skin. But this is uncommon.
Rapid Healing of Peptic Ulcers in Patients Receiving - Fresh Cabbage Juice
https://europepmc.org/backend/ptpmcrender.fcgi?accid=PMC1643665&blobtype=pdf
GARNETT CHENEY, M.D., San Francisco January,1949
SUMMARY
Thirteen patients with peptic ulcer were treated with fresh cabbage juice, which, experiments have indicated, contains an antipeptic ulcer factor. This factor (vitamin U) prevents the development of histamin-induced peptic ulcers in guinea pigs.
The average crater healing time for seven of these patients who had duodenal ulcer was only 10.4 days, while the average time as reported in the literature, in 62 patients treated by standard therapy, was 37 days.
The average crater healing time for six patients with -gastric ulcer treated with cabbage juice was only 7.3 days, ompared with 42 days, as reported in the literature, for six patients treated by standard therapy.
The rapid healing of peptic ulcers observed radiologically and gastroscopically in 13 patients treated with fresh cabbage juice indicates that the anti-peptic ulcer dietary factor may play an important role in the genesis of peptic ulcer in man.
The Use Of Vitamin U For Gastric Ulcer Recovery
BY MICHAEL ASH / WEDNESDAY, 18 JUNE 2014 / PUBLISHED IN REVIEWS6
https://www.clinicaleducation.org/resources/reviews/the-use-of-vitamin-u-for-gastric-ulcer-recovery/
The ulcer-healing factor of cabbage (S-methylmethionine) is often referred to as “vitamin U”. The initial study used a litre of raw, cabbage juice that was consumed throughout each day. Based upon the results of the studies, the authors appear to suggest a protocol lasting 10-13 days.
Use of Cabbage Juice (vitamin U)
Early studies recognized the effectiveness of raw cabbage juice in normalizing gastric and intestinal functioning. Glutamine and methionine derivatives present in the juice are believed to be the active principals. Specific attention has been focused on methionine S-methyl sulfonium (MMS) in the chlorinated form. Traditionally, this compound (MMS) has been referred to as “Vitamin U”, although it does not meet the classic definition of a vitamin. MMS has a variety of documented effects including stimulating the formation of gastric mucous, serving as an antioxidant, and acting as a methyl donor for a variety of acceptors. One study concluded that MMS supported the normal healing process of the stomach following exposure to non steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDS). Due to the high turnover rate of the gastrointestinal mucosa, vitamin A need is significantly.
Vitamin U, administered as raw cabbage juice to 100 patients with peptic ulcer, was apparently effective in promoting the rapid healing of uncomplicated peptic ulcers. The evidence of therapeutic benefit was;
1.. the rapid relief of the symptom, pain, without the use of any set plan of symptomatic treatment, and
2.. ulcer crater healing time (determined roentgenographically) considerably shorter than in groups of cases, reported in the literature, in which “standard” types of diet and drug therapy were employed.
“The average crater healing time for seven of these patients who had duodenal ulcer was only 10.4 days, while the average time as reported in the literature, in 62 patients treated by standard therapy, was 37 days… The average crater healing time for six patients with gastric ulcer treated with cabbage juice was only 7.3 days, compared with 42 days, as reported in the literature, for six patients treated by standard therapy.”
The initial study, entitled “Rapid Healing of Peptic Ulcers in Patients Receiving Fresh Cabbage Juice” was considered of inadequate interest by the medical establishment to make these experiences better known. The primary author further demonstrated with 2 more studies done in 1952 and 1956, with identical outcomes that vitamin U, is an effective treatment, and this was before the idea that bacteria may be deterministic causal factor.
Other report about the pharmaceutical effect of Cabbage
The Mandarin article Cabbage: thrombus plaque cleaner, natural medicine for stomach introduces Cabbage medicinal effects in many aspects.
2.11.2.1.. Cabbage is a magic stomach medicine
Cabbage contains a large amount of vitamins B1, B2, C, U, cellulose, carbohydrates and various minerals, of which vitamin U has a repairing effect on gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer lesions. Cabbage is also known as a natural "stomach", which not only prevents gastric ulcer, protects and repairs the gastric mucosa, but also maintains the normal function of the stomach cells and reduces the chance of disease.
2.11.2.2.. Liver protection
In the field of international medicine, cabbage is an important liver-protecting drug, mainly for common liver diseases such as fatty liver, alcoholic liver and liver dysfunction. The chemical composition of cabbage is rich in cysteine and high-quality protein, which are important elements in assisting liver detoxification.
12.11.2.3.. Anti-Cancer
Cabbage is rich in sulforaphane. This substance stimulates the body's cells to produce enzymes that are beneficial to the body, thereby forming a protective film against the erosion of foreign carcinogens. Sulforaphane is the strongest anti-cancer ingredient among the vegetables found so far.
Cabbage is rich in propyl isothiocyanate derivatives, which can kill abnormal cells that cause leukemia in humans.
2.11.2.4..The thrombus plaque cleaner
Cabbage ranks third among the best foods recommended by the World Health Organization and is rich in water-soluble vitamin C. Its rich dietary fiber and carotene can lower cholesterol, help blood pressure to be more stable, and prevent atherosclerosis. It is an auxiliary diet for patients with arteriosclerosis and obesity. Therefore, cabbage is the cleanup worker for wastes in blood.
2.11.2.5.. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory
Fresh cabbage has a bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect. When you have sore throat, traumatic pain, stomach pain, or toothache, you can drink or apply the cabbage to the affected area.
2.11.2.6.. Prevent anemia and fetal malformations
Cabbage is rich in folic acid, and folic acid has a good preventive effect on megaloblastic anemia and fetal malformation. Therefore, pregnant women, anemia patients, and children and adolescents should eat more.
2.11.2.7.. Anti-aging, anti-oxidation
Cabbage is rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, carotene, etc. The total vitamin content is three times higher than that of tomato. Therefore, it has strong anti-oxidation and anti-aging effects. Japanese scientists believe that the anti-aging and anti-oxidation effects of cabbage are also at a high level with asparagus and cauliflower.
2.11.2.8.. Enhance heart
As mentioned above, ancient records of China indicates that Cabbage can sober brain, modern study show that Cabbage helps maintain healthy blood pressure and heart.
The cabbage contains potassium that is a vasodilator, which means it opens up the arteries and veins and facilitates easy flow of blood. This simple expansion of arteries helps protect against high blood pressure and also decreases the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Because of its ability to open up blood vessels, cabbage will also help prevent varicose veins and leg ulcers.
Cabbage Is The Secret Weapon Against Heart Disease - YouTube.
2.11.2.9.. Cabbage can keep brain sober and healthy
As mentioned above, ancient China records that Cabbage can sober brain. Modern studies show that anthocyanins and vitamin K within cabbage can provide a strong boost to concentration levels and overall mental functioning. Red cabbage contains even higher levels of these important brain-fueling components, and that is why it's recommended for sufferers of dementia and neural degeneration.
2.4.. Human body has magic capacity in self-healing and adaptive self-restoration
The article Neuroplasticity explained the capacity of the nervous system to change its structure and its function over a lifetime, in reaction to environmental diversity.
Follow was some excerpt.
For a long time the notion of continued neuronal birth in the adult brain was considered heretic. Scientists believed that neurons died and were never substituted by new ones. Since 1944, but mostly in recent years, the existence of neurogenesis has become scientifically established.
Brain neuroplasticity is the ability for the brain to recover and restructure itself. This adaptive potential of the nervous system allows the brain to recover after disorders or injuries and to reduce the effects of altered structures due to pathologies such as Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, cognitive deterioration, Alzheimer's, dyslexia, ADHD, insomnia, etc.
The neurobiological decline accompanies aging; the older adults perform worse than young adults on tests of neurocognitive performance. However, not all older adults exhibit lower performance. Some do as well as their younger counterparts.
This unexpected behavioral advantage for a sub-group of aging individuals has been scientifically investigated and it was found that, when processing new information, higher performing older adults recruit the same brain regions as do the younger adults, but, also recruit additional brain regions that young and low performing older adults do not activate.
Researchers have pondered on this over-recruitment of brain regions in high performing older adults and have generally reached the conclusion that recruitment of additional cognitive resources reflects a compensatory strategy. In the presence of age-related deficits and decreased synaptic plasticity which accompany aging, the brain, once again manifests its multi-source plasticity by re-organizing its neurocognitive networks.
Studies show that the brain reaches this functional solution through the activation of alternative neural pathways, which most often activate regions in both hemispheres (when only one is activated in the younger adults).
The discussion of article Neuroplasticity is limited in the brain. However, many recovered cases show that the capacity of adaptive changes in structure and function over lifetime in reaction to environmental diversity is not limited in the brain, but happened in the other part of body, even, harmful transplanted-cancer on rats self-disappeared or shrunk under positive psychology from larger group socially activities.
May 7, 2015, the article The body can heal itself, but sometimes it needs help indicates that “Our bodies have an amazing capacity to heal. It is one of the most important bodily functions, right up there with regulating blood pressure and digesting our food. From recovering after falls and injuries to dealing with bacteria, viruses, bad food and toxins, we have ancient, built-in mechanisms designed to defend and repair ourselves.” “But we don’t often think of engaging our healing capacity when we are sick. We just assume it failed us, and the best option is to attack the disease, typically with a medication or, in more severe cases, surgery.
“Most of us are not even aware that there is another way to approach health and illness.” “Our bodies can heal almost anything. When they don’t, it often isn’t because the disease is too powerful. The problem is that the body’s own healing mechanism is impaired. The best approach is to restore this natural mechanism. It typically does not need to be “supercharged” or ramped up — just allowed to do its work.”
“One very common area where our healing gets blocked is at the joints and muscles. This makes sense when you read that joint and muscle problems cause the most disability and are the single most expensive category of health care problems.”
“Spinal manipulation — the treatment doctors of chiropractic and osteopathy specialize in — helps the healing process by releasing joints that have become immobile, stiff, dysfunctional and out of alignment. This not only helps ease local pain but improves overall body function.”
“Manipulation has been shown to help improve vertigo, migraines, digestion, breathing, even circulation. Patients accept that manipulation can improve overall health, especially when they experience it themselves. There is an obvious physical treatment, sometimes with an audible “click” and often immediate relief.”
“Acupuncture, on the other hand, takes a little more explaining. I explain it to my patients by saying it restores the energy flow in the body, similar to how an electrician can find and fix a blown circuit in your home. Once the power is turned on, things start running again, including your internal repairs. The treatment is very subtle, but it can release the most powerful healing force of all: your own body.”
“It’s no wonder our first impulse is to take on the disease instead of engage our innate healing powers. We have been programmed by thousands of drug ads, as well as news reports of some new miracle drug or surgery. We can see how pervasive this way of thinking is when we read that nearly 50 percent of the U.S. population is on at least one prescription drug; when you include over-the-counter medications, that number swells to 80 percent. Last year, U.S. drug stores filled more than 4 billion prescriptions — not including medications given while in the hospital. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2010 there were 51.4 million inpatient procedures, mostly surgeries and invasive testing such as cardiac catheterizations or colonoscopies.”
“Besides the financial costs, this reliance on drugs and surgery has a downside. Prescription medications have been estimated to be the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. One study in the New England Journal of Medicine found that 25 percent of patients were harmed during their hospital stay.” “With numbers like this, we could use a little more treatment aimed at restoring health and a little less focus on disease.”
2.4.1.. Brain is always in dynamic functional redistribution with the physical needs
Follow is an experiment of the redistribution of functional areas in monkey brain with the changes of external environment from a video Lecture about brain and learning on Youtube.
The speaker is the Prof. Daisy L. Hung, the Ph.D., experimental psychology at the University of California, and a brain scientist. Currently she is the Director and Chair Professor, Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, College of Science, National Central University, Taiwan.
The monkey's five fingers from the thumb to little thumb numbered as 1- 5, which controlled by the population of brain cells in the regions 1- 5 in the brain respectively.
After the middle finger was removed for three months, the region 3 of the brain that originally controls the middle finger disappeared, and was divided into the brain regions that control neighboring fingers.
Follow is the video screenshot of the lecture.
Photo source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uf_dAGlDRWI&t=200s
Prof. Daisy L. Hung explained that human brain is staying in the process of dynamic balancing; it only can develop when using frequently. The increase of the brain regions 2 and 4 also shows the increase of the physiological functions of fingers 3 and 4 in taking more daily physical tasks.
Follow are some real cases in self-recovered.
2.4.2.. A man who live in a normal life after damaged-half-brain was fully removed,
MRI scan found that some areas on right brain have developed as the function of being removed brain.
Follow was his photo.
2.4.3.. A British stroke man who has been 'left to die” by doctors, but himself stood up in 6 months through moving bodies by will, which started from a big toe, then other areas of body.
Follow was his photo.
2.4.4.. A man live an entirely normal life as a married civil servant with two children despite his brain with a huge fluid-filled chamber called a ventricle taking up most of the room in his skull, leaving little more than a thin sheet of actual brain tissue. Follow was the photo that article provided.
The man went to a hospital after he had mild weakness in his left leg. When Feuillet’s staff took his medical history, they learned he had had a shunt inserted into his head to drain away hydrocephalus — water on the brain — as an infant. The shunt was removed when he was 14.
So the researchers did a computed tomography (CT) scan and another type of scan called magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). They were astonished to see “massive enlargement” of the lateral ventricles — usually tiny chambers that hold the cerebrospinal fluid that cushions the brain.
Intelligence tests showed the man had an IQ of 75, below the average score of 100 but not considered mentally retarded or disabled, either.
2.4.5.. A boy who lost a large part of his brain to a brain tumor has recovered to a remarkable degree, the rest of his brain having rewired itself to compensate. Follow was the photo of the boy.
Surgeons removed a third of one entire lobe of Tanner Collins’ brain to stop seizures caused by a benign brain tumor when he was 6. With it went the entire visual processing center for his left eye. But the remaining part of his brain has adjusted.
Although he lost the part of his brain that normally processes face recognition, Tanner, now 12, says he recognizes people normally.
A girl of seven who had half her brain removed, including its speech centre, has astonished doctors by becoming fluent in two languages.
Her doctor said her recovery highlighted the flexibility of the brain, even after the most traumatic surgery.
Busra was diagnosed with Rasmussen syndrome, a rare, progressive disorder that affects just one side of the brain, at the age of three.
Surgeons at Utrecht University Hospital in Holland decided that the left hemisphere, which included the speech centre, had to be removed. The gap was filled with marrow fluid during the hemispherectomy.
Earlier this year, Dr Johannes Borgstein, an ear, nose and throat specialist at Rotterdam Hospital was treating Busra for tonsillitis.
"She was fairly well and we had decided not to take out her tonsils but realised that she had this enormous case file," he said.
"We generally have just seven minutes for each patient but I thought I had to take a look through it. The word hemispheric kept occurring and we then came across an MRI brain scan and that is when we saw that there was only half of her brain left.
"Apart from a slightly awkward handshake the first impression was unremarkable. Fluently bilingual, she had been arguing with her little sister in perfectly-constructed Dutch, then turned to answer her mother in Turkish."
Dr Borgstein said Busra's sight was impaired but that she could hear perfectly with both ears, the right side of her brain having compensated completely for the lack of the left side.
"It was amazing. I had to tell my students to forget all the neurophysiological theory they were learning," he said. "If this little girl could achieve so much with only half a brain what could we not do with a complete one?" Children will often recover well from a hemispherectomy up until the age of 10. If the operation is carried out before the age of eight, they will usually recover language.
Before the operation Busra had had problems with co-ordination of her right side and some difficulties with language, a result of the epilepsy which accompanies Rasmussen syndrome.
Dr Borgstein said: "We should see the brain as a dynamic system fully capable of functional reorganisation to re-establish the most essential functions for independent survival, rather than the somewhat static collection of neurons it is often made out to be."
2.4.7.. A 10 years old British girl Kirsty Collier's heart grew back after a third was removed when she was in 4 months old due to heart attack.
Follow was her photo.
2.4.8.. The transplanted-cancer of rats disappeared or shrunk by group socially activities with large group of 20 in a larger room, but, has no changes for those rats were in small group of 5.
Above cases revealed that human body has magic capability in self-healing and adaptive self-restoration, which subverted our traditional cognition. It inspired us to recognize the nature of human diseases and the way of treatment.
2.5.. It is 60,000 miles of blood vessels in supporting self-healing and self-restoration
The article 10 Amazing Facts About Your Blood Vessels on the website Everyday Health: Human blood vessels are amazingly long, if they were laid out in a line, they would measure more than 60,000 miles in length; the U.S. National Institute on Aging (NIA) calculates.
The article Anatomy and Ultrastructure - The Cerebral Circulation on the website NCBI Bookshelf: The capillary bed of the brain is comprised of a dense network of intercommunicating vessels that total length is ~400 miles. In the brain, all capillaries are perfused with blood at all times, and it has been estimated that nearly every neuron in the brain has its own capillary, demonstrating the critical relationship between the neuronal and vascular compartments.
Now, we have clear that it is the 60,000 miles of blood vessels in supporting oxygen and nutrient exchange by red blood cells to nourish our surviving.
2.6.. The Gut-brain-axis triggered the revolution in medical philosophy and diseases treatment
The new finding of Gut–brain axis triggered the updating of medical Philosophy from Reductionism to Holism with the revolution in the way of diseases treatment, such as, nutritional psychiatry will be the future of mental health treatment.
What is Gut-Brain Axis?
June 27, 2017, the article The Simplified Guide to the Gut-Brain Axis – How the Gut and The Brain Talk to Each Other provides a good explanation, follow is the excerpt.
The gut-brain axis (GBA) is a bidirectional link between the central nervous system (CNS) and the enteric nervous system (ENS) of the body. It involves direct and indirect pathways between cognitive and emotional centres in the brain with peripheral intestinal functions. The GBA involves complex crosstalk between the endocrine (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis), immune (cytokine and chemokines) and the autonomic nervous system (ANS).
The GBA primarily combines the sympathetic and parasympathetic arms of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which drives both afferent and efferent neural signals between the gut and the brain, respectively. The HPA axis meanwhile coordinates adaptive responses against stress including activation of memory and emotional centres in the limbic system of the brain.
The neuro-immuno-endocrine mediators of the GBA allow the brain to influence intestinal function (immune cells, epithelial cells, enteric neurons, and smooth muscle cells). Moreover, the cells of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are also under the influence of the gut microbiota and recent evidence suggests that there is an emerging concept whereby the microbiome plays an important role in the GBA structure.
Within the gut, there are approximately 1014 microorganisms, which is around 10 fold more cells than there are cells in the human body. Collectively, the genetic material of the microbiome is approximately 150 times greater than the human genome.
This is particularly important given the rise in modern antimicrobial treatments, disinfectant use and harsh cleaning products that are frequently marketed and sold as necessary for good human health.
Within the gut, the bacterial phyla Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes are approximately 75% of the gut microbiota and both of these phyla are very sensitive to change. [2]
Disruptions to the microbiome are increasingly becoming associated with the prevalence of allergies, autoimmune diseases, metabolic disorders and neuropsychiatric disorders that affect today’s society.
Above is the excerpt.
Dec. 12, 2016, the article The gut bone is connected to the brain bone provides a picture that is a better intuitive description about the Gut–brain axis, I reproduce as follow.

2.6.1.. How gastrointestinal tract works as a part of nerve system?
Nov. 16, 2015, Harvard Health Blog posts article Nutritional psychiatry: Your brain on food to have well pointed out the work mechanism of Gut–brain axis or Nutrition Psychiatry that nutrition is in affecting emotion, I excerpt main point as follow.
Our brain is always “on.” It takes care of our thoughts and movements, our breathing and heartbeat, our senses. This means our brain requires a constant supply of fuel. That “fuel” comes from the foods you eat — and what’s in that fuel makes all the difference in directly affecting the structure and function of our brain and, ultimately, our mood.
Today, fortunately, the burgeoning field of nutritional psychiatry is finding there are many consequences and correlations between not only what you eat, how you feel, and how you ultimately behave, but also the kinds of bacteria that live in your gut.
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps regulate sleep and appetite, mediate moods, and inhibit pain. Since about 95% of your serotonin is produced in your gastrointestinal tract, and your gastrointestinal tract is lined with a hundred million nerve cells, or neurons, it makes sense that the inner workings of your digestive system don’t just help you digest food, but also guide your emotions.
What’s more, the function of these neurons — and the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin — is highly influenced by the billions of “good” bacteria that make up your intestinal microbiome. These bacteria play an essential role in your health. They protect the lining of your intestines and ensure they provide a strong barrier against toxins and “bad” bacteria; they limit inflammation; they improve how well you absorb nutrients from your food; and they activate neural pathways that travel directly between the gut and the brain.
Studies have shown that when people take probiotics (supplements containing the good bacteria), their anxiety levels, perception of stress, and mental outlook improve, compared with people who did not take probiotics.
Other studies have compared “traditional” diets, like the Mediterranean diet and the traditional Japanese diet, to a typical “Western” diet and have shown that the risk of depression is 25% to 35% lower in those who eat a traditional diet. Scientists account for this difference because these traditional diets tend to be high in vegetables, fruits, unprocessed grains, and fish and seafood, and to contain only modest amounts of lean meats and dairy.
They are also void of processed and refined foods and sugars, which are staples of the “Western” dietary pattern. In addition, many of these unprocessed foods are fermented, and therefore act as natural probiotics. Fermentation uses bacteria and yeast to convert sugar in food to carbon dioxide, alcohol, and lactic acid. It is used to protect food from spoiling and can add a pleasant taste and texture.
This may sound implausible to you, but the notion that good bacteria not only influence what your gut digests and absorbs, but that they also affect the degree of inflammation throughout your body, as well as your mood and energy level, is gaining traction among researchers. The results so far have been quite amazing.
2.6.2.. Nutritional medicine is developing as mainstream in psychiatry
July 2015, the Lancet Psychiatry published article Nutritional medicine as mainstream in psychiatry with a summary: “Psychiatry is at an important juncture, with the current pharmacologically focused model having achieved modest benefits in addressing the burden of poor mental health worldwide. Although the determinants of mental health are complex, the emerging and compelling evidence for nutrition as a crucial factor in the high prevalence and incidence of mental disorders suggests that diet is as important to psychiatry as it is to cardiology, endocrinology, and gastroenterology.”
“Evidence is steadily growing for the relation between dietary quality (and potential nutritional deficiencies) and mental health, and for the select use of nutrient-based supplements to address deficiencies, or as monotherapies or augmentation therapies. We present a viewpoint from an international collaboration of academics (members of the International Society for Nutritional Psychiatry Research), in which we provide a context and overview of the current evidence in this emerging field of research, and discuss the future direction. We advocate recognition of diet and nutrition as central determinants of both physical and mental health.”
Mar. 1, 2018, article Why nutritional psychiatry is the future of mental health treatment indicates that, Nutritional psychiatry is a growing discipline that focuses on the use of food and supplements to provide these essential nutrients as part of an integrated or alternative treatment for mental health disorders.
June 13, 2018, article Nutritional Psychiatry’s Growing Importance in the Treatment of Mood Disorders discussed about the link of the probiotics with mental health, I excerpt main point as follow.
One of the most important power-players in mental health and wellbeing is the neurotransmitter serotonin. It allows the body and mind to manage mood, regulate sleep, appetite and even reduces physical pain. However, there 95 percent of the body’s serotonin is produced not in the brain, but in the gastrointestinal tract.
More and more research is linking a healthy digestive system directly to an individual’s mental health. Now, dietary interventions for the treatment of common mental disorders, like anxiety and depression, are gaining momentum. Today, the burgeoning field of Nutritional Psychiatry is finding there are many consequences and correlations between not only what you eat, how you feel and ultimately behave, but also the kinds of bacteria that live in your gut.
March 1, 2018, article Why nutritional psychiatry is the future of mental health treatment talked about Nutritional psychiatry, I excerpt main point as follow.
A lack of essential nutrients is known to contribute to the onset of poor mental health in people suffering from anxiety and depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and ADHD. Nutritional psychiatry is a growing discipline that focuses on the use of food and supplements to provide these essential nutrients as part of an integrated or alternative treatment for mental health disorders.
The role of probiotics – the beneficial live bacteria in your digestive system – in improving mental health has also been explored by psychiatrists and nutritionists, who found that taking them daily was associated with a significant reduction in depression and anxiety.
The field of Nutritional Psychiatry is relatively new, however there are observational data regarding the association between diet quality and mental health across countries, cultures and age groups – depression in particular. Here are links to some systematic reviews and meta-analyses:

2.7.. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor is a magic health promoter in easy controllable
In 1951, Nerve growth factor (NGF) was discovered due to its trophic (survival- and growth-promoting) effects on sensory and sympathetic neurons, In 1982, the second member of the “neurotrophic” family of neurotrophic factors, the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) was discovered with promoting survival of a subpopulation of dorsal root ganglion neurons.
Dec 10, 2015, article Brain-derived neurotrophic factor and its clinical implications introduces that: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is widely expressed in the Central nervous system, gut and other tissues. it plays an important role in neuronal survival and growth, serves as a neurotransmitter modulator, and participates in neuronal plasticity, which is essential for learning and memory. BDNF regulates glucose and energy metabolism and prevents exhaustion of β cells. Decreased levels of BDNF are associated with neurodegenerative diseases with neuronal loss, such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, Huntington's disease, and bipolar disease; thus, BDNF may be useful in the prevention and management of several diseases.
Above introduction regarding the physiological function of the BDNF seems not enough. Recent years, more and more studies show that the development of various diseases associated with the expression of BDNF. The occurrence of many diseases was shown the decrease of its expression, and the cure of many diseases is through the increase of its expression.
2.7.1.. Lifestyles affect health condition through affecting the expression of BDNF
Many findings have shown that lifestyles are decisively affect health condition through affecting the expression of BDNF. Follow is some the reports.
2.7.1.1.. Social isolation harms health through the decrease in the expression of BDNF
May 31, 2017, the article The Evidence for Altered BDNF Expression in the Brain of Rats Reared or Housed in Social Isolation: A Systematic Review reports that “social isolation of rats elicits chronic stress and is widely used as an animal model of mental disorders such as schizophrenia and depression. We carried out a systematic search of published studies to review current evidence for an altered expression of BDNF in the brain of rats reared or housed in social isolation. Across all age groups (post-weaning, adolescent, adult), majority of the identified studies (16/21) reported a decreased expression of BDNF in the hippocampus.”
November 29, 2015, article Loneliness May Warp Our Genes, And Our Immune Systems said that: Loneliness has been linked to everything from heart disease to Alzheimer's disease. Depression is common among the lonely. Cancers tear through their bodies more rapidly, and viruses hit them harder and more frequently. In the short term, it feels like the loneliness will kill you. A study suggests that's because the pain of loneliness activates the immune pattern of a primordial response commonly known as fight or flight.
There were many related reports.

2.7.1.2.. Social supports reduce the risk of dementia and stroke through increase of BDNF levels
Mar. 2017, article Associations between social relationship measures, serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and risk of stroke and dementia reports that among 3294 participants, controlling for age and sex, isolation trended with lower BDNF, the participants with more companionship had reduced risk for stroke and dementia. Greater emotional support was associated with higher BDNF, reduced dementia risk. Availability of social support appears to be associated with increased BDNF levels and, in certain subsets, reduce risk of subsequent dementia and stroke.
2.7.1.3.. The mental activities are the best means for avoiding Alzheimer's disease
Sept 28, 2012, article The Best Means of Avoiding Alzheimer's Is Dance? Reports that a new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the neurologist Dr. Joe Verghese at Albert Einstein College of Medicine followed elderly subjects over an impressive 21-year period to determine which activities most improved their sharpness of mind, and thus staved off the debilitating effects of Alzheimer’s disease. The results are as follow.
Dancing frequently – 76%
Doing crossword puzzles at least four days a week – 47%
Reading – 35% reduced risk of dementia
Bicycling and swimming – 0%
Playing golf – 0%
Above results show that only metal activities without physical activity involved can improve metal health, but only physical activities with lesser mental efforts involved is no help for mental health.
Why would dancing have such a profound effect on aging brains?
The researchers say when the aging process causes our brain cells to begin to die off, the key to avoiding this, in the researchers’ opinion, is to continually forge new neural pathways. And the way to do this is to constantly challenge the mind and force it to make split-second, rapid-fire decisions. Each of these decisions has the effect of creating greater cognitive reserve and a more complex network of neuronal synapses. In short, the more pathways your brain has to the information stored in it, the more accessible that information becomes, and the less likely you are to forget it.
Dance, especially ballroom dance and other forms that involve cooperation between two partners – one leading and the other following, or both following not just preset steps but having the ability to improvise – causes the very rapid-fire decision-making that forges new neural pathways.
The researchers emphasize that not all forms of dancing will accomplish this; for example, types of dance that rely on retracing the same memorized steps will form no new connections in the brain.
In the 21-year study, seniors who danced regularly showed more resistance to dementia than those who only danced occasionally; just as with doing crossword puzzles, more is better. Those who “changed partners” more often benefitted more than those who stuck with the same dance partner, possibly because they had to adjust to the new partner and make more split-second decisions to adapt to their different style.
Interestingly enough, women may benefit slightly more than men from social dancing, because they follow their male partner’s lead, and thus are constantly having to make rapid-fire decisions. But this piece of information can help the men, too. By becoming more attentive to your partner’s style and constantly adjusting your own to insure their comfort and continuity of motion, you can become not only a better dancer, but improve your brain’s cognitive abilities as well.
