Modern Taoist · Medical Prophet 【Dao Yi】 on Asthma
Chest-tight 【asthma】 is in fact 【toxic-plus-mixed】 asthma, a 【complex】 case.
【Chest tightness】 is the symptom; 【toxicity】 is the root.
The cause of chest-tight asthma is 【pharmaceutical poison】.
Ordinary 【asthma】 falls into three kinds—variant, allergic, hereditary.
When drugs are used—mostly 【Western drugs】 (and also some heat-clearing Chinese herbs or improperly processed toxic ones like aconite)—especially antibiotics, steroids, antihistamines, inhalers, the drug poison seeps into the blood and 【man-made toxic asthma】 is produced.
Layered on top of the original 【ordinary】 asthma, it turns into 【mixed】 asthma.
The poison 【injures】 the heart, giving rise to 【chest-tight】 asthma.
Western drugs only control symptoms!
They don’t cure!
You won’t die!
You just suffer!
That way you can take pills, get shots, and pay for insurance your whole life.
The so-called 【standard treatment】 of Western medicine in essence upgrades the easily curable 【ordinary】 asthma into a hard-to-cure 【complex】 one.
Claiming 【ordinary】 asthma is easy to cure isn’t our boasting—it’s what old friend 【Zhang Zhongjing】 said, and late friend 【Ni Haixia】 said so too.
It’s just that 【Dao Yi School】 heals it 【a tad faster】 than they did.
Hi, Brother Ni—sorry!
Ordinary pneumonia with fever, one to seven hours to cure.
Ordinary asthma, one to seven days to uproot.
We dare say this for two reasons: first, clinical experience; second, theory.
Our theoretical bedrock is, one, biomedical 【immunology】, and two, 【Huangdi Neijing】.
We’ve already covered immunology.
【Huangdi Neijing】 teaches that the lung belongs to Metal.
Metal is incorruptible and indestructible, the toughest of organs.
Therefore, formulas from 【Treatise on Cold Damage】, used for over 1,700 years without antibiotics or steroids, have cured asthma 100 % and regenerated the lungs.
Yet modern asthma is no longer ancient asthma.
It stems from 【air pollution】, 【food additives】, rampant 【chemical drugs】; Western drug toxins are everywhere.
Tens of thousands of 【man-made poisons】 never met by ancient Chinese sages, so 【curative】 formulas never existed.
Moreover, Western drugs are hugely profitable and control the media; people believe Western drugs act fast.
When sick, they reach for Western drugs first; only when these fail do they try Chinese herbs.
By then the body is soaked in drug poison and has become 【toxic】 and 【mixed】 asthma.
Thus 【Treatise on Cold Damage】 formulas like 【Minor Blue-Green Dragon Decoction】 no longer work, because 【Minor Blue-Green Dragon】 and 【Jade Windscreen Powder】 mainly target 【cold-wheeze】, 【deficiency-wheeze】, and small amounts of natural toxins (dust, mites, fungi, mold, bacteria, viruses).
Since Chinese herbs and Western drugs 【clash】: herbs expel toxins, Western drugs trap toxins.
When Western drugs dominate, Chinese herbs are basically useless.
Chest-tight asthma is Western 【drug poison】 sucked from the lungs 【into】 the heart.
After using “miracle” asthma drugs and assorted inhalers, the Western poison goes through pulmonary capillaries, the heart-lung blood link, the oxygen highway—the 【freeway of life】—and is 【sucked】 straight into the heart…
Drug in, toxin in, no return!
The reverse holds too.
So, what to do about chest-tight asthma?
Daodejing says: Reversal is the movement of Dao.
To cure asthma, Daoist medicine must go the 【opposite】 way!
