Sifu’s illness (taken from the internet)
In the summer of 2006 I was fortunate enough to attend a course of study run by my teacher. It didn’t take long for the test to come. That winter, one day the master asked me to see him in a hurry. My master was an old monk on the mountain and was usually extremely strict in self-discipline.
At that time, I was next to the master when he had an attack. I had just finished my teacher’s course not long ago and did not have much experience with classical fomular yet. I was very nervous because Master’s condition was very dangerous.
When Master returned from Myanmar, he had a high fever, severe fever and chills, a heartbeat of over 130, painful untouchable skin, painful swollen joints in the limbs, swollen face, eye droppings, eyes that could not be opened, and small pustules on the skin all over his body.
He invited an authority from the Western medicine immunology department to look at the situation and said that the master’s situation was very serious and could lead to sepsis and ulceration of the whole body.
I immediately called my teacher, described the master’s symptoms, teacher asked, “Feel to see if the old monk sweat out of the body? Is there nausea and vomiting?”
I said: there is a little sweating, no vomiting.
Teacher said, “Do not care what Western doctors say the name of the disease, how serious, do not be nervous, its just a small problem to TCM classical formular. A dose of formula with six bowls of water boiled into two bowls, take the first bowl before meal, within three hours if the symptoms go, then stop taking, if the symptoms are still there, then take the second bowl. ”
According to my teacher’s instruction, I gave the master a prescription to get the materia medica and decoct, and fed him the first bowl, the symptoms of cold and heat went away 80%, and then took the second bowl, and the cold and heat were eliminated.
……… However, because I was too nervous, I made a mistake in the first dose on ephedra as 25 grams, the same as the Cinnamon Twig. As a result, the master’s condition improved very significantly, but his lips got dry and ruptured!
I have not yet mastered the classical formula well, so I had to ask my teacher for help again. Teacher asked about the prescription and pointed out that it was because I had reversed the dosage of Ephedra and Cinnamomum that the patient had dry lips, otherwise the patient would have been able to finish the work in one dose.
Regarding the master’s severe joint pain, the teacher suggested to add 15 grams of Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, 15 grams of Radix Pseudostellariae, and 25 grams of Divaricate Saposhnikovia Root to the original prescription. Before I left, I went to the mountain to visit Master again, and his skin was reborn like a skin change. Master told me that after the first dose, the skin of his toes could be taken out intact like a thumbtack.
Once I was introduced to Chinese medicine, I believed that it was very good, and after studying with my teacher I saw even more the power of classical formula. But this time I personally witnessed the miraculous effect of the medicine, it was beyond imagination, and the teacher has not seen the patient since the beginning!
