Ever since Pangu
split heaven and earth
or since
God
created the universe
humans ate only 【one】 kind of food
What food?
In the East
it was 【natural】 food
Daoists
follow the Dao of 【Nature】
In the West
Christianity
it was the 【natural】 food
created by God
Yet
ever since
the year
【1900】
man-made 【colorings】
man-made 【flavorings】
man-made 【preservatives】
all sorts of man-made 【additives】
began to be used 【on a large scale】
in 【food】
Large-scale 【industrial】 ultra-processed foods
【unnatural】 foods
foods heavily laced with 【chemicals】
cause 【allergies】
in other words
tiny 【inflammations】 in the body
foods that 【chronically】 poison humans
are being
eaten by more and more people
more and more
【man-made】 additives
have made more and more people
【allergic】
As everyone knows
asthma is one of the 【allergic】 diseases
China has seen 【massive】 numbers of allergic illnesses
including allergic 【dermatitis】
allergic 【asthma】
cough-variant 【asthma】
all of them exploded 【after】
the Reform and Opening
brought in Western lifestyles
Western eating habits
and the 【large-scale】 use of food additives
It isn’t only 【body weight】 that has ballooned
so have 【chronic】 diseases
【allergic】 diseases
including 【asthma】
The Treatise on Cold Damage
is not wrong
the thousand-year 【classical formula】
the 【Minor Blue-Green Dragon】 formula
is not wrong either
What’s wrong is
the 【old】 revolution has met a 【new】 problem
Asthma
is no longer
mainly a disease of 【cold】
but has shifted
to being mainly a disease of 【poison】
Cold and poison 【combine】
cold qi enters the 【bones】
toxic qi enters the 【blood】
the more the blood is polluted
the more 【complicated】 the situation becomes
The eternal winds and waves
the same old song
You and I today
how can we repeat yesterday’s tale
With this worn-out ticket
can we still board your passenger boat?
