The recent death of veteran performing artist Hugh Lee due to colorectal cancer is a sad event and has raised many people’s concerns about colorectal cancer. When doctors perform colonoscopy for people, they will recommend removal of polyps once they find them in order to avoid future cancer. However, is this the only way to deal with the problem? After removing colon polyps, why do many people still have recurrences or earlier attacks?
The human body needs nutrition, but also needs water. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee pointed out that people eat food, after digestion in the stomach, into the small intestine to break down and absorb most of the nutrients, and finally the nutrients absorbed by the trough into the large intestine to absorb water. Therefore, the small intestine is in charge of the chemistry of nutrition, the large intestine is in charge of the chemistry of water qi.
In Chinese meridians, the large intestine is regarded as the meridian, of Yangming a dry meridian. Although good and bad bacteria coexist in the large intestine and produce methane, heat and water, the large intestine is not stained by mud. The large intestine is divided into ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, rectum and anus. The ascending colon is mostly liquidized poop, with the most liquidized water, and the later the colon, the less water there is in the poop, so the dry meridians regulate the whole body’s vaporization function.
Chinese medicine regards the interaction of the five internal organs and six internal organs as qi changes in the natural environment, and believes that the human body does not depend on the operation of individual tissues for survival, but rather on the interaction of groups of tissues, which are called the three yin and three yang meridians by Chinese medicine practitioners, meaning Shao Yang, Yang Ming, Sun, Shao Yin, Turk Yin and Tai Yin, and the large intestine meridian is part of the Yang Ming meridian.
The first symptom of a weakened large intestine meridian is sore shoulders. The large intestine meridian does not produce enough water qi, and the qi cannot move upward, making the shoulders loose. Qi coalesces in the muscles and does not disperse, making the muscles weak. The heat of the large intestine meridian vaporization comes from the lower back, so people with weak large intestine meridians have poor water dispersion and usually have lower back pain.
The water qi dispersed from the large intestine rises to the lungs and reaches beyond the shoulders and hands. Therefore, Chinese medicine believes that the lungs and the large intestine are mutually supportive. People with weak large intestine meridians cannot fill the interstices of the lung tissues with water qi, and the tissues lack flexibility, so their lung capacity is generally poor. The slightest activity makes them breathless and prone to asthma and nasal and skin allergies.
The lungs are the master of the skin, poor lung vaporization and poor skin health, toxins tend to gather and grow dirty. If we look at the large intestine meridian, the large intestine is poorly vaporized, forming liquefaction, clear qi cannot rise to provide energy, turbid qi cannot descend to discharge, the mucous membrane of the large intestine cannot completely filter toxins, toxins flow from the blood to the whole body, and finally released from the skin, thus growing dirty.
The large intestine is full of good bacteria, bad bacteria and toxins. In general, after the removal of colon polyps by Western doctors, there is no follow-up treatment for wounds. After surgery, bactericidal drugs are often used to reduce the chance of wound inflammation, but the bactericidal agent will destroy the colony ecology and cause the mucous membrane of the large intestine to lose the ability to filter toxins, which will probably enter through the wound, reduce the gasification function of the colon, and form a liquefied body. The polyp wound may become a portal of entry for viral bad bacteria in the future.
Chinese medicine doctor Sheng-Pu Lee added that large intestinal polyps is also one of the manifestations of the weakness of the large intestinal meridian, the body liquefied people, the large intestine body fluid viscous, poor vaporization, the accumulation of toxins will form polyps. To prevent the occurrence of large intestinal polyps, it should avoid sedentary, more exercise, more sweating, to help the large intestine vaporization.
In addition to more exercise, more fiber food can also help the large intestine gasification, fiber can provide energy for gasification, help defecation, eliminate the body does not need the toxins, so as not to affect health. If you want to have a healthy large intestine and not grow polyps, you should eat a light diet and eat more water-reducing foods, not ice, spicy, fried, sausage, bacon, animal head and feet, etc., all of which can help. When bowel movements should be learned, do not use too much force, maintain the habit of going to the large number every day, slow and careful work.
