Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee, who is world-renowned for his treatment of liver diseases, now offers his insights and opinions on “the precursors and perceptible symptoms of cirrhosis” based on his more than 30 years of clinical experience in the practice of Chinese medicine.
The liver is a mysterious organ of life, and it has many functions, according to Shen-Pu Lee. Some people may think that an organ should have only one function, but in fact, for the ever-changing liver, the liver is the soul house of the human body, the transport and storage depot for human emotions and life necessities. It is the transport and storage depot of vitamins. It regulates vitamins so that they are naturally balanced to meet the needs of the whole body. Although vitamins come from food, if liver enzymes and liver function are insufficient, vitamins are not easily absorbed and utilized.
The gonads, thyroid, pancreas, parathyroid, pineal gland and mood hormones also have a significant relationship with the liver’s metabolism. If the liver itself declines, many diseases will occur. People who drink alcohol, who used to be able to drink one or two bottles without getting drunk, will feel dizzy after drinking less than one bottle recently and still have a headache and drowsiness the next day, which is a prelude to cirrhosis. People who care about themselves should drink as little as possible at this time.
Some people usually have the habit of napping, which is after the meal so that the eye soul to the liver, so that the liver cells can get the help of the eye soul and increase liver enzymes. But some people do not believe, and the nap canceled, the results found that the digestive capacity is worse than before, so that the project tendons tight, eyes uncertain, sore eyes, to the evening can not eat, serious headaches, such as cold-like, more serious will produce vomiting phenomenon, but some people take some painkillers or cold medicine also, but then where the lack of sleep or sleep, will produce headaches, bad breath, dry mouth and other phenomena.
Therefore, sleep can be said to be the rule of the liver’s recovery. Those who can stay up late or do not take a nap without feeling tired represent a very good liver vitality. If you are unable to sleep deeply for a long time, your eyes are dark, your eyes are often sore, your head is heavy and dizzy, your liver is unable to ferment and burn the nutrients you eat to produce enough vitality to stretch your whole body. If the heat generated by fermentation and combustion is not sufficient to resist climate change, the body temperature will be insufficient, resulting in symptoms such as colds and allergic skin diseases. Insufficient warmth (vital energy) of the skin will leave red scratch marks after scratching. Insufficient enzymes in the liver gradually weaken the function of its own cellular tissue.
What is cirrhosis? Cirrhosis is the hardening of the liver. When the liver becomes too inflamed and exceeds its ability to recover, it is repaired by fibrous tissue, and over time, cirrhosis is formed. The scary thing about cirrhosis is its complications. The common complications of cirrhosis are the following five: 1. esophageal varices. 2. Liver coma. Ascites. Peritonitis. 5. Liver cancer (5% chance of occurrence every year).
The general public always misunderstands that cirrhosis is only when ascites appears, i.e., when the dying stage of the liver arrives. This is a very wrong and dangerous concept. In fact, many patients with cirrhosis have been in the prelude to ascites for as long as 20 to 30 years, or as little as 10 years, and when ascites appears, it can be considered a dangerous period. The lucky ones may be cured, but no hospital can guarantee a cure. Because the early stage of ascites is more curable, the cure rate of terminal patients is only one or two tenths.
Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee further said that our nationals are suffering a lot from liver disease, and some patients with early symptoms are often not detected under the scientific equipment examination. According to the above, it can be seen that the self-sensitive symptoms of liver disease and the pulse of Chinese medicine is still very valuable for reference.
