Chapter IX Uremia
Uremia is a terrible disease. People with this disease can't urinate normally, so they need to rely on the so-called "kidney washing" method to excrete the waste that needs to be filtered out of urine through hemodialysis equipment. Once a week at first, it soon rises to twice, and finally three times a week, and then they need to wait for a chance to change their kidneys. Many people lost their precious lives because they couldn't wait for the opportunity to change their kidneys.
The kidney is a filter, just like the water filter at home, except that it filters blood instead of water. At present, many families have all kinds of water purifiers. The water filter at home is broken, and most people's first reaction is to stop the water. Usually, they turn on another faucet to make sure whether the water has really stopped or which faucet is not turned on correctly. Few people will immediately react that the water filter is broken. This is mainly because as we all know, water filters only let water pass through some filtering materials to filter out the dirty things. There are no breakable parts and no moving parts, so it is a device that is not easily broken.
When we do massage health care for patients and massage the corresponding meridians of diseased organs, patients will feel particularly painful. However, when we do the same health massage for some uremia patients, we find that most patients don't feel particularly painful in kidney meridian. When we diagnose from other diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine, we can't see the signs of kidney disease, but the symptoms of lung disease are more obvious. After a period of experience accumulation and pathological analysis, we found that the disease of uremia patients is not the kidney at all, but the total blood volume is insufficient. Kidney failure mentioned by western medicine is actually a result, not a cause, which means that the kidney has lost its function. There are at least two possibilities for kidney failure. One is that there is not enough blood to enter the kidney for filtration, and the other is renal failure.
Although the kidney is just like a water filter, it is only a few filtering mechanisms that are not easy to break down. However, when the color of human urine fades or decreases or the renal examination is abnormal, the doctor thinks that there is something wrong with the kidney, and no one thinks that there is not enough blood entering the kidney for filtering. This is because the existing anemia examination only uses the blood concentration to represent the total blood volume, which can't really reflect the real facts, leading to the doctor's judgment error. He has always believed that the total amount of blood is normal, and there is no possibility that "there is not enough blood to enter the kidney for filtration".
Because of this pathological logic, the goal of medical treatment today is not to solve the problem of total blood volume, but to solve the problem of maintaining various test indexes, that is, the cause of the problem is unknown, so we can only start with solving the results, that is, focusing on controlling the deterioration speed of this disease, rather than pursuing the eradication of the disease and returning patients to normal state.
To find out the root cause of uremia, the key point of aftercare is not to improve the function of the kidney, nor to control the water volume, but to turn the decreased blood gas energy into an upward trend, so that the total blood volume of the body continues to increase. With the gradual increase of the total blood volume, the blood entering the kidney will gradually increase, the urine will gradually recover, and the function of the kidney will gradually recover.
The examination of kidney disease is another problem, just like the questioning of blood test in the introduction of this book. At present, the examination of renal function is through blood test, which is the creatinine index in blood. When the blood test is not good, the index is of course not good, but when the body's blood gas energy rises, the garbage piled up everywhere in the body will be cleared out and discharged from the body, and a higher creatinine index will also appear at this time.
Therefore, according to our health care methods, patients' indicators often show irregular changes, high and low, but other symptoms of the body have been significantly improved. For example, the skin gradually turns from black to white, the physical strength is obviously improved, and the feet no longer have edema … and so on. After a long period of observation, we can find that the creatinine index is still slowly decreasing. It is estimated that the whole convalescence process will take several years in this way.
(a), uremia patients health care methods:
Because of the serious illness, the health care method needs to be carried out in stages. The first stage is nourishing blood and benefiting qi, which is very simple. It is still the first two strokes of nourishing blood and benefiting qi, that is, knocking on the gallbladder meridian and going to bed early and getting up early (see chapter 2 for details).
But the most difficult thing for patients with this disease is to go to bed early, especially if there is a lot of drainage on the day of renal dialysis, it will easily lead to physical lung heat. Therefore, it is necessary to coordinate with doctors to reduce drainage appropriately. Most people who wash kidney disease show symptoms of dry and black skin, which is not a symptom of kidney disease, but a symptom of lung deficiency, that is, due to frequent pumping of water when washing kidney, the lung load is aggravated, and they are in a state of lung heat for a long time, and the skin turns black and dry over time.
In order to go to bed early, renal dialysis should be avoided at night, preferably in the morning. If it is difficult to arrange, you must take advantage of the days without renal dialysis and go to bed as soon as possible, and if possible, go to bed at seven or eight o'clock to make up for the sleep lost during those days of renal dialysis.
This kind of health care does not conflict with the renal dialysis treatment of uremia patients, and it is not necessary to stop using the drugs prescribed by doctors. The only thing to note is that if these treatments make it difficult for patients to fall asleep, they must consult a doctor to make appropriate adjustments. Sleeping in the middle of the night is the most important health care class for patients with this disease, and it is also the key to rehabilitation in the future. Therefore, any treatment that keeps patients awake must be properly adjusted, which is almost the same principle for treating all chronic diseases and serious diseases.
After a period of aftercare, the body's blood gas energy will rise rapidly, and then it will begin to clean up diseases that the body could not handle in the past, that is, symptoms of illness will begin to appear. Because everyone's physique is different, the chronic diseases left behind are different, so the symptoms will be completely different, and all possible symptoms will appear.
The most common symptom is unexplained high fever. In fact, most patients have not had a fever for many years. This does not mean that the patient is healthy, but because the patient has no ability to fight the disease, so he has no ability to have a fever. Therefore, the fever at this time should mean that the patient's blood gas energy has risen to a good level to fight the disease, so it is a good phenomenon for the patient.
If the human body is in a downward trend of blood gas for a long time, when the blood gas drops to the point where the human body is completely out of control of organs, there will also be symptoms of fever, which is not a good thing. Therefore, the "fever is a good phenomenon" mentioned in the previous paragraph is limited to patients whose blood gas energy is on the rise after nursed back to health. This is the most critical factor in disease diagnosis. It is necessary to know whether the patient is in the trend of increasing or decreasing blood gas energy. Often under two different blood gas energy trends, the same symptoms will appear, but their meanings are completely opposite.
Uremic patients will have more complicated symptoms after a period of rest, so I won't explain them in detail here. It is suggested that patients contact appropriate Chinese medicine practitioners at this time, and competent Chinese medicine practitioners will assist in appropriate treatment.
Before the symptoms of any disease appear and a suitable doctor is found, the most suitable health care method is to massage the pericardium meridian, which is the third of the first three strokes of nourishing blood and benefiting qi. Or according to the second chapter of this article, according to different seasons, health care of different meridians is carried out. That is, strengthen the health care of liver meridian in spring, heart meridian in summer, lung meridian in autumn and kidney meridian in winter.
In the process of health care, patients can experience the gradual recovery from various phenomena such as physical improvement, weight gain (the result of increased blood volume) and whitening skin color. For uremia patients, the most important creatine index will fluctuate from high to low in a short time, but it will show an obvious downward trend after a month of observation.
During this period, when urine is gradually increasing, you should consult a doctor, gradually reduce the amount of water pumped during kidney washing, or even reduce the number of times of kidney washing every week, and finally achieve the goal of not washing. According to our experience, if health care is proper, we can break the traditional knowledge of incurable diseases and have a chance to recover in two or three years. Moreover, through the whole process of nursed back to health, patients will know the real cause of disease at the beginning and adjust the original abnormal life routine to regular and natural living habits. Throughout his life, not only will the old disease not recur, but it will even be insulated from all chronic diseases and organ diseases, and the more he maintains with age, the healthier he is.
(2) Detailed description:
In the past few years, we have helped several patients with renal dialysis to recuperate, and most of them have achieved good results. Due to external conditions, although he has not fully recovered, his condition has not deteriorated in recent years and there are signs of gradual improvement. Since 2000, we have cooperated with a famous hospital in Shanghai to treat uremia patients who have not started renal dialysis with traditional Chinese medicine, and the effect is very satisfactory. After two weeks of aftercare, the two patients showed obvious signs of improvement, and the creatine index continued to decline. At present, they are out of danger of renal dialysis. I believe they will have a chance to recover in two or three years.
The key point of this health care method is to make a correct diagnosis according to the cause. In order not to affect patients' acceptance of western medicine, at the beginning, we completely adopted Chinese medicine massage for recuperation. After the patient's condition improved obviously and he was full of confidence in us, he gradually stopped using western medicine at our suggestion.
The main symptom of uremia patients is that the urine is thin or scarce, or completely absent, and the toxins in urine cannot be excreted through urine. At present, the doctor's identification of this disease is considered as kidney disease or kidney atrophy.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, light or little urine should be analyzed from the water system of the human body. The water system of human body, from the theory of five elements of traditional Chinese medicine, lung belongs to gold, and gold produces water; The lung is the organ that produces water and the water source system in the human body, that is to say, fresh water is distributed to various organs by the lung. This is like a waterworks in our life, providing clean water for all families, companies and institutions in the whole society.
In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, spleen governs transport and transport, and transport is the transport of water (water in human body is transported through blood circulation, and blood is the carrier of water transport in human body). The spleen transports the wastewater from organs to the kidneys (this is like the sewage drainage system in our life, which sends all the sewage to the sewage treatment center in the city), and then the kidneys discharge the wastewater from the body. Just like the sewage treatment center in the city, the kidney is a filter, which filters out the blood containing sewage sent by various organs, filters out the dirty water, sends it to the bladder, and then excretes it from the bladder.

Kidney 1
Kidney 2
In the whole circulation process, blood plays the role of carrier. Whether it is clean water or used water, water needs to be mixed into the blood before it can be transported to the right place. In such a whole system, there are actually four possibilities when there is no urine discharged from the kidney in the end:
The first situation is that when the whole blood volume of human body is insufficient, the carrier of water is blood, because there are three things: lung water distribution, spleen water transport and kidney water excretion. Therefore, when the blood volume is insufficient, we must first maintain the blood supply in blood vessels to maintain the normal operation of life. The amount of blood entering various organs will decrease. This will greatly weaken the functions of the three organs, of course, the ability of the whole human body to treat water will also be greatly reduced, and the blood flow in various parts will naturally decrease. The water consumption of the whole human body has also decreased, and urine has certainly decreased. Therefore, the lack of total blood volume is the most common problem among patients we have seen.
The other three cases are the above-mentioned three organs (lung, spleen and kidney) related to water treatment. If there is a problem with the function of individual organs, urine will also be reduced.
There is something wrong with the lungs, and fresh and clean water is not distributed to various organs. In other words, the water supply of the whole human body is reduced. This kind of person urinates not long after drinking water, and the urine is colorless and tasteless, that is, the water does not enter the organ at all and is directly excreted. After a long time, the human body will reduce the amount of water and urine.
The spleen does not transport waste water to the kidneys. This kind of person has a little edema in all parts of the body, that is, waste water accumulates in all parts of the body, and the spleen has no ability to transport it out.
The last possible reason is that there is something wrong with the filtration function of the kidney, and it can't discharge water. This kind of person is particularly fat, that is, water is transported to the middle of the body, but it can't be discharged.
From this analysis, it is true that the weakening or reduction of urine is a problem with the function of the kidney, but it is also possible that there is no blood entering the kidney at all, or the kidney is broken. This needs to be further clarified in order to correctly prescribe a treatment plan.
Any of the above four conditions, insufficient blood gas, that is, the total blood volume of human body is insufficient, are the basic reasons. Therefore, the correct health care method is to increase the blood gas energy of patients as much as possible, that is, the total blood volume.
At present, most of the treatment methods are hemodialysis, which pumps out the water in the blood and replaces the drainage of the kidney with artificial methods. In fact, this is not a treatment, but the kidney is broken and can't be repaired. Just give up completely and change the machine. In fact, artificial machines only have a small part of the functions of the human kidney and cannot really replace the kidney, so patients will become weaker and weaker.
This method makes the water in the patient's blood lose a lot, and the human body will automatically adjust the water supply energy of the lungs and increase the load of the lungs. This will lead to lung fever on the second day after renal dialysis, and it is difficult for patients to fall asleep. Over time, the lungs are too tired, causing great damage and even collapse. This is why kidney dialysis patients, over time, the skin will become darker and drier. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the lung governs the skin, and the skin is dry, dull and thick, which is the main symptom of lung injury.
At present, the patients who have been significantly improved by our method are mainly those who have just been diagnosed as uremia by doctors, but have not yet started hemodialysis. Almost all cases have obvious effects after our conditioning and health care, and all cases do not need hemodialysis in the end.
According to our experience, uremia patients are not easy to absorb nutrients and fall asleep because of the imbalance of various organs. Moreover, the function of each organ of the patient is very low, and taking medicine will increase the burden of each organ more or less. Therefore, the treatment method is mainly to guide patients to return to normal and regular life, and then massage each meridian to restore the balance of various organs, so that patients can fall asleep more easily and increase the absorption of nutrients. After one or two months, the patient's physical condition improved obviously, and he could get rid of the threat of hemodialysis treatment within six months to one year, and completely get rid of the shadow of uremia within one or two years.
In the process of improving patients' physique, the current "creatine index" of uremia can not fully show the changes of the disease. This index will fluctuate continuously during the patient's recuperation. For example, when a patient starts, it is difficult to move all over the body, and the creatine index is as high as 565 units. After two weeks of conditioning, he has been able to get out of bed and walk and observe the patient's appearance and physical condition. The patient has improved a lot, but the indicators have changed from time to time, and there is no obvious improvement. After a long time, it gradually showed a downward trend.
After our analysis, we think that there are many reasons for the fluctuation of this index, one of which is uremia caused by the poor urination ability of human body, and the other is that the ability of excreting wastes in various parts of the body is improved after the improvement of human blood gas, and these wastes still have to enter the blood first, so the index is improved. Therefore, although the starting high index and the aftercare high index have the same value, their connotations are different.
In the whole process of keeping in good health, we can use the method of keeping in good health of TCM to adjust the blood gas energy of human body without increasing the physical load, so that the blood gas energy of human body can be restored to the level of starting the innate self-treatment ability, and then the disease can be cured by using the self-treatment ability of human body.
As for patients taking other drugs, they are not required to stop taking them unless the drugs they take will make them too excited to sleep at night. This can completely ensure that it will not cause unnecessary dangers or side effects, and make patients safer and more assured.
In our experience, it is found that the etiology of most patients mainly comes from abnormal living habits and incorrect disease concepts. So the main method is to return to normal living habits. In the whole process of conditioning and health care, we let patients clearly understand these truths. After this lesson, the patient will not make the same mistake again. Therefore, naturally develop a normal living habit, other diseases will be cured one by one, and then embark on a healthy life path. You can also use personal lessons to influence friends and relatives around you and make everyone healthier than before. The whole process can be said to be a wonderful health lesson, which can benefit patients and their relatives and friends for life.
We believe that the same method will also have a good effect on patients who have started hemodialysis. This is our next clinical experiment. Only such a health care method must cooperate with the doctor in charge of hemodialysis, cooperate with the conditioning and health care process of traditional Chinese medicine, and adjust and reduce the water extracted during dialysis at any time.
We have tried to help several patients who have started hemodialysis and successfully reduced their original treatment from three times a week to once. At the same time, we also keep the patient's skin healthy and rosy for a long time, so as not to become dark and dry like other patients. The most important thing is that patients have developed from anuria to urine, and it is increasing. Because the attending doctor and the patient dare not risk the rest of the treatment, further aftercare is terminated.
Uremia should not be a completely incurable disease, nor should it be a terrible nightmare for patients to smell it.
