Keep driving the car so that it won’t stop?

I observe several WhatsApp groups of retiree, or near retiree, they actively share & take part in quizzes, puzzles, sharing videos after videos regarding innovation.

They hold an underlying belief that if they actively use their brains, they wouldn’t get dementia, stroke or Parkinson.

What do you think?

Would you do the same with such belief system?

What theory is that you are using?

You may observe many people use a lot of brain-work, they get dementia, stroke or Parkinson.

You may also observe that many people Do Not use brain-work, they get dementia, stroke or Parkinson!

Understanding Yin & Yang

Often WhatsApp group members ask how to do treatments. Today we discuss the theories behind treatments. When we understand the theories and reasons behind, we can then creatively apply the necessary treatments.

We need to start from Yin and Yang theory again.

Yin and Yang is a large concept. But actually everyday we do experience it, but not aware of it.

For example, “feeling hot”, feel the sensation of heat in certain parts of the body, or mouth dry, sweat uncontrollably, … we then say it is Yin-Deficiency. There is lack of Yin and more Yang.

The other time, we feel cold. The hands and limbs sensations are cold, e.g. hands cold, running nose. This is Yang-deficiency.

Those with balanced Body Constituent, they feel reasonably cold or hot, but not extremes.

How do we use diets as treatments then?

We need to know the properties of foods in term of Yin and Yang.

YEIC says : “Yin is stillness and intrinsically cold and Yang is Excessive Movement and intrinsically heaty.

Hence animals with frequent movement, or in motions like dogs, who can run faster than chicken, then dog meat is more Yang in nature compared with chicken meat.

Pigs always just eat and sleep without exercise, it is then more Yin than dogs.

Fish in cold water needs to move constantly to create warmth for own blood circulation, then fish is Yang, and heaty in nature, in general.

For autistic children, due to influence of western nutrition theory, parents and teachers feed the children with more proteins for better growth, as based on the above discussion, if the meat consumed are more Yang in nature, children hyper activeness can get worsened.

Those living creatures with little motion, like crab, tortoise, are Yin in nature.

Most vegetable are intrinsically cold in nature. Vegetables from winter-countries are even colder.

Vegetable of Yang properties are garlic, pumpkin, ginger, leeks, onions, parsley, onions.

Fruits from tropical countries are mostly Yang, especially durian, also from temperate countries fruits ripen in summer like lychee, peach, longan, cherry, apricot, etc.

Yin types of fruits are watermelon, banana, kiwi, melon, grapefruit, orange, persimmon, melon, pear, mango, alfalfa, etc.。

Due to the influence from Western Nutrition theory, many parents want their children to take in more vegetables, consider them to be more nutritious.

Now with the injection of YEIC Food Theory, perhaps parents should do some re-thinking.

Cold types of foods are not suitable for autistic children who is withdrawn, avoid socializing. These kids should have more Yang types of foods.

This is just a general discussion.

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are explained in details in the video training.“Food Theory 饮食学说”，“Organs Functionalities 五脏六腑功能”，”Yin-Yang 阴阳”。

A report on Autism

This report was made on June 7, 2017.

Before we started our 4th June workshop with the parents who have autistic children, in a short time we did a quick survey about their children conditions.

Altogether 9 autistic children.

(3 yrs below=1, 3-5 yrs=3. 5-9 yrs =1，9-12 yrs =2，14 yrs =1，20 yrs=1）

Speech Deficiency （9-12yrs=2，14yrs=1，20yr=1）

Hyper-active （9-12yrs=2）

Socializing proglem （3 yrs below=1， 3-5 yrs=1， 5-9yrs=1，9-12yrs=2，14yrs=1，20yrs=1）

Learning Disability （3yrs below=1， 3-5yrs=2， 5-9yrs=1，9-12yrs=1）

Fixed and Repeated Behaviors （3 below=1， 3-5yrs=2， 5-9yrs=1，9-12yrs=1）

Before the start of autism symptoms any high fever, flu = 2，（baby time）.

Cesarean=3， all 3 are hyper-active。

Mommy often sick, weak body constituents, high stress and emotional disturbance during pregnancy, period irregular before pregnancy = 2

Shortly after vaccination, any unusual behaviors of the child = 0

Taking part in various programs, activities (OT, Speech Therapy, Sensory Integration, etc. = 8

Time / Period attending the program ：（3 months below =2， 1 yr below =3， 5 yrs=1， 7 yrs =1）

Parents understand what method used in the various program OT, Speech Therapy, Sensory Integration, know how the specialist carry out the activities :（10% = 2， 50% = 4， 75% = 2）

How much time spent daily on the following ： IQ（20 % = 2，30% = 3， 50% = 2）

How much time spent daily on the following ：EQ（5 % = 1，20% = 1， 30% = 2， 50%=1）

（Note” Most take EQ more in controlling the child tentrum, difficult sentiment, and not balancing their emotions or developing EQ）

Later in my talk, I explain 5 Consciousness as per Ancient Wisdom, more than just EQ, which correspond to 5 body organs that determine behaviors and performance.

How much time spent daily on the following ： (BI) Body Intelligence = ??

(Note: Most take BI as Sensory Integration activities. In my talk, I explained that from Ancient Wisdom perspective, BI is on raising the Yang energy / Life Force of the child)

How much time spent daily on the following ?：：diet（ 30% = 3， 50%=2， 70%=4）

(Note: In my talk, I explained that Ancient Wisdom perspective, diet is related to improving our bodily organ functionalities which also include 5 sensory faculties. Ancient Wisdom called it Theory of Foods & Drink, which is very different from Western Nutrition Theory)

After various programs and activities :(OT)，Speech Therapy，Sensory Integration）etc. What are the improvement performance ?：

（ 6 month period ： 5%=1， 20%=2， 30%=1， 50%=1。）

（ 3 yrs, with one 7 years ： 30%= 1， 50%=1。）

The one with 7 years intensive attendance to various programs activities, today still have speech deficiency and socializing programs problems.

In our workshop, I asked : “If we have opportunity to meet again in 5 years time, what report you can give about the progress of your autistic child?

I emphasize the importance of constant evaluation and measurement of the child progress, on whatever program attended, and not leave the child to the specialist / center day after day, year after year.

From the above information, you are welcome to share your views, discussion, your own analysis and thoughts on the above.

Subsequent to the above, I continue to take such survey in other Ancient Wisdom introduction talk. The pattern of the result is similar to the above.

There is really very little significant improvement with years of Western Education/ Therapy for Special Need children. Perhaps that is why they attend my talk.

This is regretful and sorry state, after years of hardship on the part of the parents for their love of their special need child, yet without significant result. I know of some, after 20 years of OT etc program, having their children dependent on large dose of western medicine to control the tantrum, some violence.

Many parents, after 10 years，20 years hardship, feel totally discouraged to seek anymore solution, and accept the cruel reality. They are no longer active on social media looking for solution or discussing or sharing.

Hence in the social media, mostly are young parents, actively pursuing seeking solution full heartedly. I wonder after another 20 years, what will become of them? Will they also give up hope?

I sincerely offer them a new hope based on the ancient Chinese wisdom, Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classics.

To understand how autism came about, to use the ancient wisdom theory, we need to know the basic concepts and knowledge of the Yellow Emperor, i.e. Qi, Yin Yang, Zangfu Organs, Food Therapy, Qi activation, 5-elements etc.

Then we can initiate balancing treatments to the child on daily basis. Treatments must be holistic, not doing just one thing.

Is there fit for all healthy diet?

Glad to see much discussion among the Chinese WhatsApp group. The hot topic is on Healthy Diet.

Although there were many other discussion on Diet previously, as most are deeply influenced by the Western Nutrition Theory, it is difficult to shift the thinking to another dimension.

I will use the current discussion content to make illustration again on how YEIC view Diet differently.

One member shared he and his wife have the same diet everyday, and he think the diet taken is helpful to them.

One of the diet is Chives “韭菜”. We will use this for discussion.

As per ancient Chinese food system, the functionalities of Chives “韭菜” are as follow:

“Strengthen Spleen, Stomach, Kidneys Yang, makes one alert, help reduce excessive sweating, preserve essence.

This vegetable is suitable for most people, especially those with cold body constituent, rough skin, constipation, dry eyes etc.”

From the above, we can see that classification of foods is a per body constituents, key organs, what functionalities necessary for the healthy body.

At the same time, the Food System also highlights under what situations this food is not suitable for consumption.

1、Because Chives is Yang and heaty, those with excessive Yang body constituents, not suitable.

2、Those with poor digestion due to Stomach heat.

3、Excessive chives consumption can harm kidneys.

4、Cannot be consumed together with wines.

This is an important messages. It follows the philosophy of Middle Path, i.e. nothing, no matter how good, cannot be consumed excessively.

Many believe green vegetables and fruits are always good for the body, it is not true.

Western Nutrition Theory is based on identifying the essential elements like protein, carbohydrate, vitamins, etc. they consider protein is good for growth. But them they do not differentiate how different meat protein, e.g. mutton, pork, chickens, etc. can help in what different ways.

Ancients sages know that if you let hyperactive children, or tantrum autistic child consumes more mutton, they become more hyperactive.

Do you see that Chinese Food Theory is very logical and practical?

It tells you how different foods can help to improve your body functionalities which affect behaviors and performance.

Do you know your own Body Constituents? If not, you wouldn’t know what foods suit your!

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are explained in details in the video training. “Food Theory 饮食学说”，“Organs Functionalities 五脏六腑功能”，”Yin-Yang 阴阳”, “Body Constituents 体质。

Let’s talk about “High Blood Pressure” again.

From Western Medicine point of views, they consider High Blood Pressure is due to walls of blood vessels hardening, loose its elasticity and cannot hold the blood and produces excessive pressure.

Hence attention is on the quality of the blood vessel walls with highly sophisticated instruments to examine the blood vessels, with operation if complication arise, but not the blood.

There is little explanation as how the blood vessels get hardened. Some explain by the person concerned exercises excessively or work too hard.

Ancient sages did not have today sophisticated equipment and instrument to do monitoring or checking. As such there is no such term called “High Blood Pressure” in the old texts.

But ancients sages paid a great deal of attention to the various symptoms which today Western Medicine associate with High Blood Pressure. E.g. Palpitations, chest tightness, dizziness, headache, tinnitus, sore shoulders, stroke.

How does YEIC explain High Blood Pressure?

The focus is on the quality of the blood. If the bloods contain too much unwanted things, like un-removed toxin, phlegm, some bloods solidified bits and pieces, then there is blockage to the smooth flow of the blood.

Some people have qi-deficiency, always panting, no strength to speak or move, then the weak qi is unable to drive and move the heavy blood, with more exertion to move the blood to the required region eg. brain and eyes to do thinking or reading, pressure is built up. Over time, this damage the blood vessels too.

Some old people, during younger days no High Blood Pressure, only when grow old. This is because the organs functionalities are out of balance, metabolism cannot be thorough, producing much toxin in the body and create blockages to the flow of Qi and Bloods.

People with frequent depression, blood deficiency, anemia, can easily have High Blood Pressure.

Now you can see that YEIC tells us High Blood Pressure implies many things, largely our lifestyle and how to keep organs functionalities in order, i.e. Life Cultivation 养生.

You can also see the differences in approaches towards High Blood Pressure, with Western Medicine gets patients to be on lowering high blood pressure pills for life and operation in some cases.

But ancient sages focus on making good blood quality and improve the Qi to move the blood.

Very different approach, ya?

Do you think autistic child has High Blood Pressure? You tell me.

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are explained in details in the video training. “”Qi and Blood 气血”，”Life Cultivation 养生”。

Qi and Blood 气血 is particularly explained in the video “Qi (Its mystery unfolded), 5-Essential Human Life Variables”

Learning ABC before writing an Essay

It sounds obvious.

Not knowing the alphabets, how to communicate and write an essay.

Not knowing a language, how to understand the underlying message.

Sometimes, we operate without being aware of such simple logic.

I give an example.

After being given a prescription by a Western Medicine doctor for an illness, the patient quickly checks at the internet, for more information on the medicine given. The patient finds some extra information regarding the medicine, which the doctor did not mention. The patient is worried about that information. On the second day, the patient visited the doctor again to challenge him on his prescription.

The patient know the language of the medicine, though not too technical in details, but sufficient for him to know the pro and con. This is the challenges faced by the Western Medicine doctors.

If the patient visits a TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) doctor. When given the prescription, the patient has hard time to understand the prescription after spending long hours with Google search. There are strange language and metaphor used. For example, the Liver is on fire. Or there is too much Evil Qi, or the Yin Yang no balance. Or Wood attacks Earth.

The patient is at a loss. He cannot challenge the TCM doctor.

This is because the patient does not know the ABC, the language of the Chinese medical treatment system.

Some health-conscious people, or have some not too serious symptoms in the body, want to learn from the ancient Chinese health system, do good deal of research and reading. These people are often puzzled by the strange language. Qi Deficiency. Yin Deficiency. Yang Excessiveness. Stomach Qi or Essence depleting.

Soon these learners give up.

Not knowing the alphabets, how to communicate and write an essay.

Not knowing a language, how to understand the underlying message.

For the above cases, my work o Video Training Courses on the Ancient Wisdom, Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic, has the purpose to provide basic ABC language to help learners to explore and understand better their performance, behaviours or health issues based on ancient wisdom.

More than providing the language, but also the knowledge how to do self Yin Yang balancing, e.g. Through food therapy, activating Qi, raising consciousness.

The next Video Training Course is on “Qi (Its mystery unfolded), Qi Blood & 5-Essential Human Life Variable” will be ready for publishing after Christmas

There are altogether 10 Video Training Course to complete the essentials of Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic.

Keep coming back to the is Blog to check the status.

Cheers

Can you succeed just by yourself? No need collective contribution?

“Uric Acid is the byproduct of metabolism. A healthy body will discharge such by-products through urine, stools and sweats.

When there is poor functioning of metabolism, uric acid can be generated and give rise to problems like gout, pain in the joints, and with long period of accumulation in the body, many serious illnesses can develop.

A proper functioning of metabolism requires the well-functioning of all the 5 key-organs, not one less.

What functionalities?

Well, foods must be well digested, transformed to nutrients for the body growth and activities. This require good function of Spleen and Stomach.

Lungs and Liver Qi must be able to transport the nutrients to various parts of the body.

Small intestines must be able to absorb the nutrients and send the waste products to the Large Intestines.

And Kidneys must be able to filter the liquids and send the urine to the bladder etc.

We have discussed often, your excessive thoughts and emotions can also affect the above processes.

When any of the above processes is out of balance or not functioning well, we have many signals, including production of uric acid.

Many people, especially those with gout problem, direct their attention to what diets to avoid that can cause high level of uric acids. Hence they spend time, energy and money on control, avoidance, or reduce certain diets etc. Which certainly is tedious and tiring.

With all these efforts, what about what diets to ensure no cancers, diabetes, Parkinson, … ?

Isn’t it more important to focus on well functioning of all the 5-key organs functionalities so as to protect you from all illnesses?

Western Medicine doctor recommends taking plenty of water. This is control and avoidance strategy. It appears the life purpose focusing on gout and uric acid as enemies to be fought or avoided.

Perhaps such life attitude and paradigm should be changed. As per YEIC Life Cultivation, we focus on overall improvement of the body, mind and emotions and good functioning of all 5 major organs. This is holistic approach, there is no enemy to fight.

If we follow the Western Medicine doctor’s advice to take in more water, have we also considered can the kidneys and bladder take this extra burden?

For those with Yang-deficiency body constituent, taking in more water worsen the health condition. Can we afford to take care of one, and harm the overall system?

Life Cultivation 养生 aims to focus on diets that suit different person’s body constituent, the person lifestyle including exercise or not, personality, psychology etc. There is no one-size fits all.

The principles of YEIC are simple, But it takes great deal of learning to acquire the knowledge.

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are elaborated in the online training. “Functionalities of key 5 organs五脏六腑功能”，”Body Constituent 体质”，”Holistic Approach 整体观”，”Life Cultivation 养生”，”Yang Deficiency Body Constituent 阳虚体质”
“Words in Chinese are texts from the book YEIC, 3000 years ago.”
