婴儿出生时的哭声，并非婴儿在哭，乃肺受空气像降落伞受空气膨胀撑开所产生的声音。若婴儿出生时不哭，是肺泡无法撑开承受空气，而立刻发生危险，此时将孩子倒提，打击刺激脚底涌泉穴，因涌泉穴为肾经井木穴，至阴之所出，阴极生阳，真阳生则肾与心皆为少阴之气通于咽喉，喉开则气能入肺而复生。
后天呼吸为空气受日光和清水的作用，空气受寒热致上升、下降、扩张、收缩及稳定五脏的调理作用。即风、暑、寒、湿、燥火的变化作用，五脏能调理均衡，则百病不生。
婴儿出生，脏腑极弱，五脏调理五气尚未能完全适应，此不适应的证状就是感受五气调适不当所生而名为感冒，故感冒称为伤风、伤寒、伤暑、湿、热是为五脏未能将风、暑、湿、燥、寒调适恰当所生。
回想四、五十岁以上的人，小时候，有几个鼻子不是挂着两条白狗鼻涕，因小孩从脱离母体到呼吸空气，肺由先天腺体气－电的呼吸胎息转为对空气的后天呼吸，因小孩的五脏六腑尚未发育完全，不能完全调适空气风暑寒湿燥火的变化，鼻孔内、喉咙中常有空气中的水份凝结成鼻涕、痰，并非鼻子、喉咙的发炎－急、慢性的发炎，中医以祛风、散寒、清暑、除湿、降火以治疗鼻涕、痰，更补气来补助肺的发育，长大后，五脏发育完全，能调适五气，自然不再流鼻涕、感冒等。
五脏调理五气的上升、下降、收缩、扩张、稳定的作用失调，因不协调所冒出来的证状称感冒，即五气风、暑、寒、湿、燥火在身体冒出来的证状只有百分之廿是火发炎，为气的上升，可以消炎而痊愈，其余百分之八十不可以消炎，是为今日医学治感冒，不明中医五行相生相克，而犯滔天大祸，残害病患之因。
四。孩子为什么会感冒?
(一)什么是过敏？为什么会过敏呢？
孩子天天都在流鼻涕、喉咙发炎、打喷嚏、咳嗽、发烧、眼睛痒痒的……喷嚏打不完……是过敏吗？是鼻窦炎吗？是鼻子急性、慢性的发炎吗？为什么会过敏？什么是过敏原？为什么会鼻窦炎？什么是鼻子的急、慢性的发炎？一大堆、一连串的问题，许多的病，久治不好，甚至越治越严重，使年轻的父母疲于奔命，欲哭无泪为什么？怎么办呢？大众对感冒的害怕甚于蛇蝎之危害，为什么呢？
现代医学称感冒流鼻涕、喉咙痛、打喷嚏、咳嗽、发烧……为感染发炎，是细菌、病毒侵入体内引起的急性发炎、慢性发炎从头到脚都是发炎，用抗生素杀菌、消炎、医疗科技的进步，医疗品质的提升，为什么有些孩子的病菌、病毒怎么杀，怎么消都杀不完，也消不灭呢？甚至病菌越来越顽固，病毒越来越毒呢？为什么？
鼻子、气管、皮肤为我们身体五气风、暑、寒、湿、燥火进出的道路，此风、暑、寒、湿、燥火之气是为五脏调理运用的，五脏对五气调理不适所产生的证状称为伤风、伤寒、伤暑、湿、热即是感冒。
淋了雨感冒了－伤湿，吹了风感冒了－伤风，晒太阳感冒了－热感冒伤暑或暑风，穿少了，睡觉不盖被，冷气吹多了，洗澡玩水着凉了－伤风、伤寒，感冒再感冒，热也感冒，冷也感冒为什么呢？
冬天的感冒多为伤寒，夏天的感冒多为伤暑、伤风，感冒皆为五脏无法调理气温的变化，所产生的证状是为表症冬天呼吸时，我们可以看到口鼻中冒出白茫茫的水气是热热的，夏天或运动后的流汗也是热热的，此呼吸热热的水气或汗水，暨空气中蕴含着风、暑、湿、燥、寒之水气，如五脏不能调节湿气，则此湿气凝结在鼻子是为鼻涕，凝结在喉咙是为痰，凝结在皮肤是为发烧详见为什么会发烧凝结在肺是为痰或肺积水，凝结在鼻咽是为鼻咽癌，凝结在心下胃口是为尿毒症，凝结在鼻涕、痰有风痰、热火痰、寒痰、湿痰、虚痰之别，凝结在不同部位而有不同的病名，皆湿受风、暑、寒、湿、燥火之气或饮食或治疗不当，对湿痰所产生的变化，故治痰当分辨何种痰而施治，更要分别是何部位－是何经络而施治。
鼻子、喉咙等有鼻涕、痰……等感冒时，有风、暑、寒、湿、燥火、虚……之别，并非鼻子、喉咙、肺包括气管、支气管的急性发炎，慢性发炎……中医称火气或热气，西医没有火而将火字加上一个火而称炎，火、热有风热－风火肝火－肝炎，暑热心火－心包炎，湿热脾胃火、肠火－肠胃炎，燥火肺火－肺炎、气管、支气管炎，虚热虚火、肾火－肾炎肾属水不可能发炎，而以相火－水中之火代之。
火为气的上升，火在五气风暑寒湿燥火只占了五分之一，即只有百分之二十的感冒是发炎，可以消炎而被治疗痊愈，其它感冒为气的下降寒、扩张风、收缩燥、稳定湿皆非气的上升而不可消炎，消炎不能痊愈，反致身体受害。
常见喉咙痛的病患，怎么消炎也无法把喉咙痛治好，即因喉咙痛的毛病－只有五分之一是发炎，消炎即可痊愈，其余五分之四皆非发炎而被误为急性的发炎、慢性的发炎致无法痊愈，即有百分之八十的病患反受药物消炎之害，故治疗时不可一味的降火气－消炎，许多病患小孩被教学医院长期使用美国仙丹治喉咙痛而成月亮脸、水牛肩，这是什么科学呢？
心属火，肺属金金如锅子，心与肺的作用，如火煮锅子使水加热，分分秒秒从鼻子进入肺的空气中所含的水份，凝结成鼻涕、痰，乃心之火力衰弱，无力将锅肺金内的水份加热成水蒸气或汗排出体外，鼻涕、痰乃为湿水气的凝结，并非鼻子、喉咙、肺气管、支气管的发炎，甚至许多喉中有白痰、黄痰而被耳鼻喉科骗为长脓，而强力消炎。
火气为什么会越消越大呢？非发炎而消炎降火气，因消炎即伤心火气，心属火，火越弱，心越弱越无法将肺金水气蒸发，水湿越凝结在鼻子、喉咙。恶性循环，火越弱，鼻涕、痰愈凝结，越被消炎则水气越容易凝结。
心、肺因消炎致衰弱，越衰弱就越无法处理自鼻子进入的空气，以调和五脏。今日医学不分风、暑、寒、湿、燥、火的感冒，从头到脚的生病都是感染－急性的发炎、慢性的发炎而消炎－降火气。乃为今日孩子天天感冒治不好的主因。
治感冒当分伤风、伤寒、伤暑、伤湿、伤燥火火即发炎，用药当分祛风、散寒、清暑、除湿、降火消炎，润燥以达恢复健康。
吹了风就喉咙痒痒的想咳，吹了冷气亦喉咙痒痒的想咳，早上起床就喷嚏打不停，鼻水流不停……常感冒者，并非什么过敏，乃因被消炎过度，致心肝脾肺肾五脏无力调理五气，当补气肺强心，以加强五脏调理五气的功能。
心火有力将肺金的水气加热成水蒸气或汗排出，则不再感冒，过敏之症状不再发生，消炎只会造成五脏的衰弱，孩子怎能有恢复健康的一天呢？
了解中医的医学，鼻子、喉咙只是风、暑、湿、燥、寒之气进出的道路，故耳鼻喉科在中医学上应该是不能成立一科的，但今日耳鼻喉科的生意，却是最忙碌的一科，稚弱孩子，长期鼻子、喉咙被吸痰、吸鼻涕，致鼻黏膜，喉咙受伤害，更难适应气候的变化，更容易感冒，为使大众能有正确的医疗观念，当有正确诊断始能竟其功：
1。以时辰诊断疾病治疗疾病
身体十二经络，配合每天十二个时辰运行，子胆丑肝寅肺卯大肠辰胃巳脾午心未小肠申膀胱酉肾戌心包亥三焦。
将其编成歌诀：肺寅大卯胃辰宫，巳脾心午小未中，申胱酉肾心包戌，亥三子胆丑肝通。
我们可以看出某个时辰发病，即某经络脏腑在某时辰不能适时达成其经络之任务，即为该经络之疾病如早上打喷嚏即寅卯辰巳时辰即为脾、肺气虚，而不是鼻子的发炎，当补气祛风即可痊愈，用补中益气汤，归脾汤之类加附子、川白芷、防风、口苦加龙胆草。
晚上气喘发作即申酉戌亥为肾、心包虚，肾虚当补肾，或补肺金生肾水，或补心阳温肾，气喘即可痊愈，用肾气丸、补中益气汤、归脾汤之类加鹿茸、冬虫、川贝等补气、温肾气喘即愈而不再发作。
有些小孩天未亮即咳嗽，是为气虚咳或晚上一、两点咳即为肝胆受风生痰当补肺温肾化痰用十四味建中汤之类，若用西药气管扩张剂止咳，长期使用，造成气管，支气管的弹性疲乏，日久则成气喘，后患无穷。
2。以气温诊断疾病治疗疾病
天气热即打喷嚏、流鼻涕、咳嗽、气喘是为热咳、热喘、瘀伤血咳嗽喘。当禁吃燥热食物，治疗用龙胆泻肝汤加消风散，或清暑益气汤加祛风药或散瘀血药即愈。
下雨时、天气冷即咳嗽、气喘、流鼻涕是虚、寒、湿之喘咳、以散寒、温阳、禁食冰凉汽水、冰果汁饮料食物，此类病患皆为外感风寒被消炎而体虚，致风寒之邪内陷，治疗用小青龙汤，麻黄汤之类，并温补肺、肾，用肾气丸，补中益气汤，归脾汤之类加麻黄、桂枝、附子、白果等，即可痊愈。
3。以心理诊断、治疗疾病
考试快到了，因紧张、情绪不佳、疲劳时即鼻塞，流鼻涕水，咳嗽、气喘发作，皆为心虚，体力不济，是为虚咳、虚喘，以归脾汤，天王补心丹之类，皆可痊愈。
喷嚏、流鼻涕、咳嗽、气喘当诊断身体的虚、实、寒热、外感、内伤以调治之，病轻因体力仍强健，病重因体力衰弱，以补虚为主，治病为辅，日久病皆可痊愈，天下没有治不好的病，但今日的医学皆以过敏，而不查出病因，以对症治疗来敷衍病患，致病患受病缠身一辈子。
寒、热、虚、实或单独而至，或杂合而至，治疗当分清以温、清、补、泻，则天下并没有治不好的感冒、气喘之病，更没有什么过敏之病。
(二)中医、西医对感冒的不同分别
中医的感冒分为伤风、伤寒、伤暑、湿、热，或风暑寒湿燥火之气合并而至，或兼伤食的感冒或兼忧思伤脾的体虚……等。
伤风、伤寒、伤暑、湿、热的感冒对十二经络产生寒热虚实不同的证状，中医称为经络病变，各经络因伤风、伤寒而称为少阳并阳明并太阳病。少阴病。或太阳、阳明合病。称二阳合病。伤风、伤寒……等感冒之疾病，又因饮食、情绪、治疗不当……等，证状由此一经络转移到另一经络称六经传变。
经络病变、六经传变乃将疾病的正并变并疾病的前因、后果作一系统的整理，而作为辨证论治的依据。
在伤寒论，温病条辨书中，对外感的治疗方法，皆有序可循作千古不变的治疗原则，以为恢复健康的圭臬。
西医的感冒分为Ａ、Ａ、Ｂ、Ｂ型又分为泰国型、四川型、西伯利亚型……感冒，说有二百多种病毒，时时都要培养病毒，等病毒培养出来，知道是什么型的，则这个感冒的流行早因天气的转变而消失了，大家都恢复健康了，却又说是预防推销成功而消灭病毒了。
如登革热的发生，专家、学者大声呼吁预防，却越预防越扩大，台风来了，专家呼吁大家注意，登革热病毒会随着台风、水患流散而扩大疫情，但当台风、大水过后登革热却消声匿迹了，病毒、疫情没有随着台风、水患而扩大、蔓延，专家权威却又得意洋洋说是预防成功了，或说病毒被台风、大雨水冲走了。根本就不懂天气的变化对人体产生病变的来龙去脉，只知浪费我们的税金。
台湾北部没有埃及斑蚊、白线斑蚊吗？却没有登革热的流行，乃因气候的变化，不会产生此病的流行也。
农历三、四月、八、九月天气由寒转热，由热转寒，乃为身体调整气候变化，而产生不适的证状，乃为感冒流行的时节。
昔日天天都在推销Ａ、Ａ、Ｂ、Ｂ，是否Ａ、Ａ、Ｂ、Ｂ感冒病毒已消失了呢？乃今日小儿科天天都客满，不须再予推销预防了。
根据报导证实感冒有两百多种，还有许多新的感冒待研究，就像癌细胞已发现二百五十种以上，若了解此两百多种感冒，两百多种癌细胞，只不过是风暑寒湿燥火之气进入人体不同经络，不同脏腑所出现的不同证状罢了。
了解中医的经络病变，脏象学说及疾病的六经传变，则两百多种的感冒，两百多种的癌细胞之医学理论、学说，实荒谬得令人气结。
不分风暑寒湿燥火气候对人体适应的变化，不理鼻子、气管只是空气五气进出的道路，一味以鼻子，喉咙的急慢性发炎、过敏而施医，药物伤害身体所产生的后患，严重的损害了国人的健康，孩子天天都在感冒，年轻的父母，天天都在为孩子的健康而精疲力竭，小儿科、大医院天天都在人满为患，这是什么科学呢？
五、发烧
(一)发烧的原因：
今日大众的观念，发烧是调节体温的中枢神经失控，或是外来的细菌、病毒侵入体内所引起而造成发烧。以中医的医学而论，这完全是错误的，因其错误的医疗、药物的伤害，乃造成脑炎、脑膜炎、小儿麻痹……等医疗错误的不良后果，为什么呢？
我们鼻子呼吸的空气是热热的，我们的皮肤亦在呼吸散热，排散水分－出汗。
呼吸、排汗所排出的热气，并非身体的发炎，乃是心肾－君火、相火上升所产生的体温，即消化营养，产生体能所产生的余热之排放。
体热排放不良，乃造成发烧，即余热被蓄积而成，故发烧的原因可列举如后：
1。感冒：
详见为什么会感冒篇感冒发烧，因五脏调理五气产生体能而生体温，若五脏调理五气，热不能排，为皮肤毛孔被风、暑、寒、湿、燥火之气蔽塞，即肺金毛孔收敛肺主皮毛，致体温、热气无法从皮肤毛孔排出－即是发烧的感冒为最多。
婴儿出生时的哭声，并非婴儿在哭泣，而是肺部受到空气冲击，如同降落伞被空气撑开膨胀时所产生的声音。如果婴儿出生后不哭，说明肺泡无法扩张以容纳空气，会立即发生危险。此时将孩子倒提，并刺激脚底的涌泉穴，因为涌泉穴是肾经的井穴（五输穴之一，属木），为阴气至极之处，阴极则生阳，真阳产生后，肾与心同属少阴经，其气相通于咽喉，咽喉打开则空气能进入肺部，婴儿即可复苏。
后天呼吸是指空气受到日光和清水的作用，因寒热变化导致空气上升、下降、扩张、收缩，从而起到调理五脏的作用。即风、暑、寒、湿、燥、火六气的变化作用，若五脏能调理均衡，百病便不会发生。
婴儿出生时，脏腑极其虚弱，五脏对五气的调理功能尚未完全适应外界环境，这种不适应的症状就是感受五气调适不当而产生的“感冒”。因此，感冒被称为伤风、伤寒、伤暑、伤湿、伤热，这是指五脏未能恰当调和风、暑、湿、燥、寒所致。
回想四五十岁以上的人，小时候鼻子常挂着两条像白狗一样的鼻涕。这是因为小孩从脱离母体到开始呼吸空气，肺部由先天的腺体气-电呼吸（胎息）转变为对空气的后天呼吸。由于小孩的五脏六腑尚未发育完全，不能完全适应风、暑、寒、湿、燥、火的变化，鼻孔内、喉咙中常有空气中的水分凝结成鼻涕、痰液。这并非鼻子、喉咙的发炎——急慢性炎症。中医采用祛风、散寒、清暑、除湿、降火的方法来治疗鼻涕、痰液，并补气以补助肺的发育。长大后，五脏发育完全，能调节五气，自然不再流鼻涕、感冒。
五脏调理五气（上升、下降、收缩、扩张、稳定）的作用失调，因不协调而出现的症状称为感冒。即风、暑、寒、湿、燥、火五气在身体表现出的症状中，只有百分之二十是火引起的发炎，属于气的上升，可以通过消炎痊愈；其余百分之八十不属于气的上升，不能通过消炎治愈。这也是现代医学治疗感冒不明中医五行相生相克之理，从而犯下大错、残害病患的原因。
四、孩子为什么会感冒？
（一）什么是过敏？为什么会过敏呢？
孩子天天都在流鼻涕、喉咙发炎、打喷嚏、咳嗽、发烧、眼睛痒……喷嚏打不完……这是过敏吗？是鼻窦炎吗？是鼻子急、慢性发炎吗？为什么会过敏？什么是过敏原？为什么会得鼻窦炎？什么是鼻子的急、慢性发炎？这一连串的问题，许多疾病久治不愈，甚至越治越严重，使年轻的父母疲于奔命，欲哭无泪。为什么？怎么办呢？大众对感冒的恐惧甚于蛇蝎的危害，为什么呢？
现代医学将感冒引起的流鼻涕、喉咙痛、打喷嚏、咳嗽、发烧等称为感染发炎，认为是细菌、病毒侵入体内引起的急性或慢性炎症，从头到脚都是发炎。使用抗生素杀菌、消炎，随着医疗科技的进步和医疗品质的提升，为什么有些孩子的病菌、病毒怎么杀也杀不完，怎么消也消灭不了呢？甚至病菌越来越顽固，病毒越来越毒呢？为什么？
鼻子、气管、皮肤是我们身体风、暑、寒、湿、燥、火五气进出的通道。这些风、暑、寒、湿、燥、火之气是由五脏进行调理运用的。五脏对五气调理不适所产生的症状，称为伤风、伤寒、伤暑、伤湿、伤热，也就是感冒。
淋雨后感冒了——伤湿；吹风后感冒了——伤风；晒太阳后感冒了——热感冒，伤暑或暑风；穿得少、睡觉不盖被子、冷气吹多了、洗澡玩水着凉了——伤风、伤寒。为什么感冒再感冒，无论是热还是冷都会感冒呢？
冬天的感冒多为伤寒，夏天的感冒多为伤暑、伤风。感冒都是因为五脏无法调理气温变化所产生的症状，属于表证。冬天呼吸时，我们可以看到口鼻中冒出白茫茫的热气；夏天或运动后的流汗也是热的。这种呼吸出的热气或汗水，以及空气中蕴含的风、暑、湿、燥、寒之水气，如果五脏不能调节湿气，则此湿气凝结在鼻子成为鼻涕，凝结在喉咙成为痰，凝结在皮肤成为发烧（详见为什么会发烧篇），凝结在肺成为痰或肺积水，凝结在鼻咽成为鼻咽癌，凝结在心下胃口成为尿毒症。凝结在鼻涕、痰中有风痰、热火痰、寒痰、湿痰、虚痰的区别。凝结在不同部位而有不同的病名，皆因受风、暑、寒、湿、燥、火之气，或饮食、治疗不当，对湿痰产生的变化所致。因此治疗痰应当分辨何种痰而施治，更要分别是何部位——何经络而施治。
鼻子、喉咙等有鼻涕、痰等感冒症状时，有风、暑、寒、湿、燥、火、虚等的区别，并非鼻子、喉咙、肺包括气管、支气管的急性发炎、慢性发炎……中医称之为火气或热气。西医没有“火”的概念，所以在“火”字上加一个“火”字称为“炎”。火、热有风热（风火）、肝火（肝炎）；暑热、心火（心包炎）；湿热、脾胃火、肠火（肠胃炎）；燥火、肺火（肺炎、气管炎、支气管炎）；虚热、虚火、肾火（肾炎）。肾属水，不可能发炎，而以相火（水中之火）代之。
火是气的上升。在五气（风、暑、寒、湿、燥、火）中，火只占五分之一，即只有百分之二十的感冒是发炎，可以消炎而被治疗痊愈。其他感冒为气的下降（寒）、扩张（风）、收缩（燥）、稳定（湿），皆非气的上升，不可消炎，消炎不能痊愈，反而导致身体受害。
常见喉咙痛的病患，怎么消炎也无法把喉咙痛治好，即因喉咙痛的毛病——只有五分之一是发炎，消炎即可痊愈，其余五分之四皆非发炎，却被误认为是急性或慢性发炎，导致无法痊愈。即有百分之八十的病患反受药物消炎之害。因此治疗时不可一味地降火气——消炎。许多病患小孩被教学医院长期使用美国药物治喉咙痛，而成月亮脸、水牛肩（库欣综合征症状），这是什么科学呢？
心属火，肺属金。金如锅子，心与肺的作用，如火煮锅子使水加热。分分秒秒从鼻子进入肺的空气中所含的水分，凝结成鼻涕、痰，乃是因为心之火力衰弱，无力将肺金内的水份加热成水蒸气或汗排出体外。鼻涕、痰乃是湿水气的凝结，并非鼻子、喉咙、肺气管、支气管的发炎。甚至许多喉中有白痰、黄痰，却被耳鼻喉科医生骗说是长脓，而强力消炎。
火气为什么会越消越大呢？非发炎而用消炎药降火气，因消炎即伤心火气。心属火，火越弱，心越弱，越无法将肺金水气蒸发，水湿越凝结在鼻子、喉咙。形成恶性循环：火越弱，鼻涕、痰愈凝结；越被消炎，则水气越容易凝结。
心、肺因消炎致衰弱，越衰弱就越无法处理自鼻子进入的空气，以调和五脏。今日医学不分风、暑、寒、湿、燥、火的感冒，认为从头到脚的生病都是感染——急性的发炎、慢性的发炎而消炎——降火气。乃为今日孩子天天感冒治不好的主因。
治感冒当分伤风、伤寒、伤暑、伤湿、伤燥火。火即发炎，用药当分祛风、散寒、清暑、除湿、降火消炎、润燥，以达恢复健康。
吹了风就喉咙痒痒的想咳，吹了冷气亦喉咙痒痒的想咳，早上起床就喷嚏打不停，鼻水流不停……常感冒者，并非什么过敏，乃因被消炎过度，致心肝脾肺肾五脏无力调理五气。当补肺气强心，以加强五脏调理五气的功能。
心火有力将肺金的水气加热成水蒸气或汗排出，则不再感冒，过敏之症状不再发生。消炎只会造成五脏的衰弱，孩子怎能有恢复健康的一天呢？
了解中医的医学，鼻子、喉咙只是风、暑、湿、燥、寒之气进出的道路，故耳鼻喉科在中医学上应该是不能成立一科的。但今日耳鼻喉科的生意，却是最忙碌的一科。稚弱孩子，长期鼻子、喉咙被吸痰、吸鼻涕，致鼻黏膜、喉咙受伤害，更难适应气候的变化，更容易感冒。为使大众能有正确的医疗观念，当有正确诊断始能竟其功：
1. 以时辰诊断疾病治疗疾病
身体十二经络，配合每天十二个时辰运行：子时胆、丑时肝、寅时肺、卯时大肠、辰时胃、巳时脾、午时心、未时小肠、申时膀胱、酉时肾、戌时心包、亥时三焦。
将其编成歌诀：肺寅大卯胃辰宫，巳脾心午小未中，申胱酉肾心包戌，亥三子胆丑肝通。
我们可以看出某个时辰发病，即某经络脏腑在某时辰不能适时达成其经络之任务，即为该经络之疾病。如早上打喷嚏，即寅、卯、辰、巳时辰，即为脾、肺气虚，而不是鼻子的发炎，当补气祛风即可痊愈，用补中益气汤、归脾汤之类加附子、川白芷、防风、口苦加龙胆草。
晚上气喘发作，即申、酉、戌、亥，为肾、心包虚。肾虚当补肾，或补肺金生肾水，或补心阳温肾，气喘即可痊愈，用肾气丸、补中益气汤、归脾汤之类加鹿茸、冬虫夏草、川贝等补气、温肾，气喘即愈而不再发作。
有些小孩天未亮即咳嗽，是为气虚咳；或晚上一、两点咳，即为肝胆受风生痰。当补肺温肾化痰，用十四味建中汤之类。若用西药气管扩张剂止咳，长期使用，造成气管、支气管的弹性疲乏，日久则成气喘，后患无穷。
2. 以气温诊断疾病治疗疾病
天气热即打喷嚏、流鼻涕、咳嗽、气喘，是为热咳、热喘、瘀伤血咳嗽喘。当禁吃燥热食物，治疗用龙胆泻肝汤加消风散，或清暑益气汤加祛风药或散瘀血药即愈。
下雨时、天气冷即咳嗽、气喘、流鼻涕，是虚、寒、湿之喘咳。以散寒、温阳为主，禁食冰凉汽水、冰果汁饮料食物。此类病患皆为外感风寒被消炎而体虚，致风寒之邪内陷，治疗用小青龙汤、麻黄汤之类，并温补肺、肾，用肾气丸、补中益气汤、归脾汤之类加麻黄、桂枝、附子、白果等，即可痊愈。
3. 以心理诊断、治疗疾病
考试快到了，因紧张、情绪不佳、疲劳时即鼻塞，流鼻涕水，咳嗽、气喘发作，皆为心虚，体力不济，是为虚咳、虚喘，以归脾汤、天王补心丹之类，皆可痊愈。
喷嚏、流鼻涕、咳嗽、气喘当诊断身体的虚、实、寒热、外感、内伤以调治之。病轻因体力仍强健，病重因体力衰弱，以补虚为主，治病为辅，日久病皆可痊愈。天下没有治不好的病，但今日的医学皆以过敏，而不查出病因，以对症治疗来敷衍病患，致病患受病缠身一辈子。
寒、热、虚、实或单独而至，或杂合而至，治疗当分清以温、清、补、泻，则天下并没有治不好的感冒、气喘之病，更没有什么过敏之病。

经络病变、六经传变乃将疾病的正并变并疾病的前因、后果作一系统的整理，而作为辨证论治的依据。
在《伤寒论》、《温病条辨》书中，对外感的治疗方法，皆有序可循，作千古不变的治疗原则，以为恢复健康的圭臬。
西医的感冒分为A、A、B、B型，又分为泰国型、四川型、西伯利亚型……感冒，说有二百多种病毒，时时都要培养病毒，等病毒培养出来，知道是什么型的，则这个感冒的流行早因天气的转变而消失了，大家都恢复健康了，却又说是预防推销成功而消灭病毒了。

不分风、暑、寒、湿、燥、火气候对人体适应的变化，不理鼻子、气管只是空气五气进出的道路，一味以鼻子、喉咙的急慢性发炎、过敏而施医，药物伤害身体所产生的后患，严重的损害了国人的健康。孩子天天都在感冒，年轻的父母，天天都在为孩子的健康而精疲力竭，小儿科、大医院天天都在人满为患，这是什么科学呢？

我们鼻子呼吸的空气是热热的，我们的皮肤亦在呼吸散热，排散水分——出汗。
呼吸、排汗所排出的热气，并非身体的发炎，乃是心肾——君火、相火上升所产生的体温，即消化营养，产生体能所产生的余热之排放。
体热排放不良，乃造成发烧，即余热被蓄积而成，故发烧的原因可列举如后：
1. 感冒：
详见为什么会感冒篇。感冒发烧，因五脏调理五气产生体能而生体温，若五脏调理五气，热不能排，为皮肤毛孔被风、暑、寒、湿、燥、火之气蔽塞，即肺金毛孔收敛（肺主皮毛），致体温、热气无法从皮肤毛孔排出——即是发烧的感冒为最多。
The crying sound of a newborn infant is not the infant crying, but rather the sound produced when the lungs are impacted by air, similar to a parachute expanding and being supported by air. If an infant does not cry upon birth, it indicates that the alveoli cannot expand to accommodate air, leading to immediate danger. At this time, holding the child upside down and stimulating the Yongquan acupoint (KI-1) on the soles of the feet can help. Since Yongquan is the Jing-well (Wood) point of the Kidney Meridian, where Yin energy reaches its extreme, generating Yang at the extremity of Yin. When True Yang arises, the Qi of the Kidney and Heart, both belonging to the Shaoyin meridian, connects through the throat. Once the throat opens, air can enter the lungs, allowing the infant to revive.
Postnatal respiration refers to air acting under the influence of sunlight and clear water. Due to cold and heat changes, air rises, descends, expands, and contracts, thereby regulating the five Zang organs. This involves the transformative effects of Wind, Summerheat, Cold, Dampness, Dryness, and Fire. If the five Zang organs can regulate these factors in balance, hundreds of diseases will not arise.
At birth, an infant's Zang and Fu organs are extremely weak, and their ability to regulate the Five Qi has not yet fully adapted to the external environment. This symptom of maladaptation caused by improper regulation of the Five Qi is called "Ganmao" (Common Cold). Therefore, Ganmao is referred to as injury by Wind, Cold, Summerheat, Dampness, or Heat. It signifies that the five Zang organs failed to appropriately harmonize Wind, Summerheat, Dampness, Dryness, and Cold.
Recall people over forty or fifty years old; as children, how many did not have noses running with white mucus resembling two white dogs? This is because, from leaving the maternal body to breathing air, the lungs transition from prenatal glandular qi-electric respiration (fetal breath) to postnatal respiration of air. Since the infant's five Zang and six Fu organs are not fully developed, they cannot completely adapt to the changes of Wind, Summerheat, Cold, Dampness, Dryness, and Fire. Water vapor in the air condenses into nasal mucus and phlegm in the nose and throat. This is not inflammation of the nose or throat—neither acute nor chronic inflammation. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treats nasal mucus and phlegm by dispelling Wind, scattering Cold, clearing Summerheat, removing Dampness, and descending Fire, while also tonifying Qi to assist lung development. As one grows up, the five Zang organs develop completely and can regulate the Five Qi, naturally stopping nasal discharge and Ganmao.
When the regulatory functions of the five Zang organs over the Five Qi (ascending, descending, contracting, expanding, stabilizing) are disordered, the resulting symptoms due to disharmony are called Ganmao. Among the symptoms manifested by the Five Qi (Wind, Summerheat, Cold, Dampness, Dryness, Fire) in the body, only twenty percent are inflammations caused by Fire, which belong to the ascending nature of Qi and can be cured by anti-inflammatory treatment. The remaining eighty percent do not involve the ascending nature of Qi and cannot be cured by anti-inflammatories. This is why modern medicine, lacking understanding of TCM's Five Elements generation and restriction cycles, makes grave errors and harms patients.
IV. Why do children get Ganmao?
(1) What is allergy? Why does allergy occur?
Children suffer daily from runny noses, sore throats, sneezing, coughing, fever, itchy eyes... endless sneezing... Is this allergy? Is it sinusitis? Is it acute or chronic inflammation of the nose? Why does allergy occur? What are allergens? Why does sinusitis occur? What is acute or chronic inflammation of the nose? A series of questions, many illnesses that resist cure for long periods, even worsening with treatment, leave young parents exhausted and tearful. Why? What should be done? The public fears Ganmao more than snakes and scorpions. Why?
Modern medicine classifies runny nose, sore throat, sneezing, coughing, and fever associated with Ganmao as infectious inflammation, caused by bacteria and viruses invading the body, resulting in acute or chronic inflammation throughout the body. With the use of antibiotics for sterilization and anti-inflammation, alongside advancements in medical technology and quality, why can some children's bacteria and viruses never be eradicated despite repeated attempts? Why do bacteria become more stubborn and viruses more toxic? Why?
The nose, trachea, and skin serve as pathways for the entry and exit of the Five Qi (Wind, Summerheat, Cold, Dampness, Dryness, Fire) in our bodies. These Five Qi are regulated and utilized by the five Zang organs. Symptoms arising from the five Zang organs' inability to properly regulate the Five Qi are termed injury by Wind, Cold, Summerheat, Dampness, or Heat, which constitutes Ganmao.
Getting wet in rain leads to Ganmao—Injury by Dampness. Exposure to wind leads to Ganmao—Injury by Wind. Sun exposure leads to Ganmao—Heat Ganmao, Injury by Summerheat or Summer-Wind. Wearing too little, sleeping without covers, excessive air conditioning, or getting chilled while bathing/playing in water leads to Ganmao—Injury by Wind or Cold. Why does one keep getting Ganmao, whether hot or cold?
Winter Ganmao is mostly Injury by Cold; summer Ganmao is mostly Injury by Summerheat and Wind. Ganmao results from the five Zang organs' inability to regulate temperature changes, producing surface-level symptoms (Biao Zheng). In winter, we see white, warm vapor exhaled from the mouth and nose; sweat after summer activities or exercise is also warm. This warm respiratory vapor or sweat, along with the water vapor of Wind, Summerheat, Dampness, Dryness, and Cold contained in the air, if not regulated by the five Zang organs, condenses in the nose as mucus, in the throat as phlegm, on the skin as fever (see section on causes of fever), in the lungs as phlegm or pulmonary effusion, in the nasopharynx as nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and below the heart/stomach area as uremia. Condensed mucus and phlegm are categorized as Wind-phlegm, Hot-fire phlegm, Cold-phlegm, Damp-phlegm, or Deficiency-phlegm. Different condensation sites result in different disease names. All stem from improper handling of Damp-phlegm due to exposure to Wind, Summerheat, Cold, Dampness, Dryness, Fire, or improper diet/treatment. Therefore, treating phlegm requires distinguishing the type of phlegm and the specific location/meridian involved.
Symptoms like nasal mucus and phlegm during Ganmao vary by Wind, Summerheat, Cold, Dampness, Dryness, Fire, or Deficiency. They are not necessarily acute or chronic inflammation of the nose, throat, lungs, trachea, or bronchi... TCM calls this "Fire Qi" or "Hot Qi." Western medicine lacks the concept of "Fire," adding the radical for fire to create "Yan" (Inflammation). Types include Wind-Heat (Wind-Fire), Liver-Fire (Hepatitis); Summerheat-Heat, Heart-Fire (Pericarditis); Damp-Heat, Spleen/Stomach-Fire, Intestinal-Fire (Gastroenteritis); Dryness-Fire, Lung-Fire (Pneumonia, Tracheitis, Bronchitis); Deficient-Heat, Deficient-Fire, Kidney-Fire (Nephritis). The Kidney belongs to Water and cannot undergo inflammation; instead, it is represented by Ministerial Fire (Fire within Water).
Fire represents the ascending nature of Qi. Among the Five Qi (Wind, Summerheat, Cold, Dampness, Dryness, Fire), Fire accounts for only one-fifth. Thus, only twenty percent of Ganmao cases involve inflammation curable by anti-inflammatories. Other Ganmao types involve descending Qi (Cold), expanding Qi (Wind), contracting Qi (Dryness), and stabilizing Qi (Dampness), none of which are ascending. Anti-inflammatories are ineffective and harmful in these cases.
Patients with common sore throats often find that anti-inflammatories fail to cure them. Only one-fifth of sore throat cases are inflammatory and curable by anti-inflammatories. The remaining four-fifths are non-inflammatory but misdiagnosed as acute or chronic inflammation, leading to failure to cure. Consequently, eighty percent of patients suffer harm from drug-induced anti-inflammation. Treatment should not blindly suppress Fire/anti-inflammation. Many pediatric patients treated long-term with American drugs for sore throats develop moon face and buffalo hump (Cushingoid features). What kind of science is this?
The Heart belongs to Fire, and the Lungs belong to Metal. Metal is like a pot. The interaction between Heart and Lungs is like fire boiling water in a pot. The moisture in the air entering the lungs every second condenses into nasal mucus and phlegm because Heart Fire is weak, lacking the power to heat the moisture in Lung Metal into steam or sweat for expulsion. Nasal mucus and phlegm are condensations of damp-water vapor, not inflammation of the nose, throat, lungs, trachea, or bronchi. Even white or yellow phlegm in the throat is sometimes falsely diagnosed by ENT specialists as pus, leading to aggressive anti-inflammatory treatment.
Why does suppressing Fire make it worse? Using anti-inflammatories to suppress Fire in non-inflammatory conditions damages Heart Fire. Since the Heart belongs to Fire, weaker Fire means a weaker Heart, which fails to evaporate Lung Metal's water vapor. Water-dampness condenses more in the nose and throat. This creates a vicious cycle: weaker Fire leads to more condensation; more anti-inflammation leads to easier condensation.
Anti-inflammatories weaken the Heart and Lungs. The weaker they become, the less capable they are of processing inhaled air to harmonize the five Zang organs. Modern medicine, ignoring the distinction between Wind, Summerheat, Cold, Dampness, Dryness, and Fire in Ganmao, treats all illnesses from head to toe as infections—acute or chronic inflammation—and applies anti-inflammatories/suppresses Fire. This is the main reason children suffer from persistent Ganmao today.
Treating Ganmao requires distinguishing between Injury by Wind, Cold, Summerheat, Dampness, and Dryness/Fire. Fire implies inflammation; medication should distinguish between dispelling Wind, scattering Cold, clearing Summerheat, removing Dampness, descending Fire/anti-inflammation, and moistening Dryness to restore health.
Sore throat itching and urge to cough after wind exposure or air conditioning, incessant sneezing and runny nose upon waking... Frequent Ganmao sufferers are not necessarily allergic. Overuse of anti-inflammations has weakened the five Zang organs (Heart, Liver, Spleen, Lungs, Kidneys), rendering them unable to regulate the Five Qi. Tonifying Lung Qi and strengthening the Heart enhances the five Zang organs' regulatory function.
If Heart Fire is strong enough to heat Lung Metal's water vapor into steam or sweat, Ganmao ceases, and allergic symptoms disappear. Anti-inflammation only causes Zang organ weakness; how can children recover?
Understanding TCM, the nose and throat are merely pathways for Wind, Summerheat, Dampness, Dryness, and Cold. Thus, Otolaryngology should not exist as a separate discipline in TCM. Yet, it is currently the busiest department. Weak children subjected to long-term suctioning of phlegm and mucus suffer damage to nasal mucosa and throats, making them less adaptable to climate changes and more prone to Ganmao. To establish correct medical concepts, accurate diagnosis is essential:
1. Diagnosing and treating diseases by Time Periods
The twelve meridians correspond to the twelve double-hours of the day: Zi (Gallbladder), Chou (Liver), Yin (Lungs), Mao (Large Intestine), Chen (Stomach), Si (Spleen), Wu (Heart), Wei (Small Intestine), Shen (Bladder), You (Kidney), Xu (Pericardium), Hai (San Jiao).
Mnemonic: Lungs at Yin, Large Intestine at Mao, Stomach at Chen; Spleen at Si, Heart at Wu, Small Intestine at Wei; Bladder at Shen, Kidney at You, Pericardium at Xu; San Jiao at Hai, Gallbladder at Zi, Liver at Chou.
Observing onset at a specific time period indicates that the corresponding meridian/Zang-Fu failed to fulfill its task at that time, signifying a disease of that meridian. For example, morning sneezing occurs during Yin, Mao, Chen, Si hours, indicating Spleen/Lung Qi Deficiency, not nasal inflammation. Tonifying Qi and dispelling Wind cures it, using Buzhong Yiqi Tang or Guipi Tang plus Fuzi, Baizhi, Fangfeng; add Longdancao if bitter taste is present.
Nighttime asthma attacks occur during Shen, You, Xu, Hai hours, indicating Kidney/Pericardium Deficiency. For Kidney Deficiency, tonify the Kidney, or tonify Lung Metal to generate Kidney Water, or tonify Heart Yang to warm the Kidney. Asthma resolves. Use Shenqi Wan, Buzhong Yiqi Tang, or Guipi Tang plus Rongyang, Cordyceps, Chuanbei to tonify Qi and warm the Kidney.
Some children cough before dawn, indicating Qi Deficiency cough; coughing at 1-2 AM indicates Liver/Gallbladder affected by Wind generating Phlegm. Tonify Lungs, warm Kidneys, resolve Phlegm using Shisiwei Jianzhong Tang. Long-term use of Western bronchodilators causes elastic fatigue in trachea/bronchi, leading to asthma later.
2. Diagnosing and treating diseases by Temperature/Climate
Sneezing, runny nose, coughing, asthma in hot weather indicate Hot Cough, Hot Asthma, or Blood Stasis Cough/Asthma. Avoid dry/hot foods. Treat with Longdan Xiegan Tang plus Xiaofeng San, or Qingshu Yiqi Tang plus Wind-dispelling or blood-invigorating herbs.
Coughing, asthma, runny nose during rain or cold weather indicate Deficiency, Cold, Dampness Cough/Asthma. Dispel Cold, warm Yang. Avoid cold drinks/juices. Such patients often have internalized Cold-Damp due to prior anti-inflammatory treatment weakening them. Treat with Xiao Qinglong Tang or Mahuang Tang, warming/tonifying Lungs/Kidneys using Shenqi Wan, Buzhong Yiqi Tang, or Guipi Tang plus Mahuang, Guizhi, Fuzi, Baiguo.
3. Diagnosing and treating diseases by Psychology
Before exams, stress, poor mood, or fatigue cause nasal congestion, runny nose, coughing, asthma. These indicate Heart Deficiency and physical exhaustion, constituting Deficient Cough/Asthma. Guipi Tang or Tianwang Buxin Dan can cure them.
Sneezing, runny nose, coughing, asthma should be diagnosed based on Body Deficiency/Excess, Cold/Heat, External Invasion, Internal Injury. Mild illness implies strong constitution; severe illness implies weak constitution. Prioritize tonifying deficiency, treating disease secondarily. Over time, all illnesses can be cured. There are no incurable diseases. However, modern medicine dismisses allergies without finding root causes, offering symptomatic relief, trapping patients in lifelong suffering.
Cold, Heat, Deficiency, Excess may appear alone or combined. Treatment must distinguish and apply Warming, Clearing, Tonifying, or Draining methods. Then, there are no incurable Ganmao or Asthma cases, nor any such thing as "allergy."
(II) Differences between TCM and Western Medicine regarding Ganmao
TCM categorizes Ganmao as Injury by Wind, Cold, Summerheat, Dampness, Heat, or combinations of Wind, Summerheat, Cold, Dampness, Dryness, Fire. It may also involve food retention or emotional injury to the Spleen causing Deficiency.
Injuries by Wind, Cold, Summerheat, Dampness, Heat produce varying Cold/Heat/Deficiency/Excess symptoms across the twelve meridians, termed Meridian Pathologies. Depending on the meridian affected by Wind/Cold, it is classified as Shaoyang combining Yangming/Taiyang, Shaoyin, or Taiyang/Yangming combined disease (Two-Yang Combined Disease). Symptoms transferring from one meridian to another due to diet, emotion, or improper treatment is called Six-Meridian Transmission.
Meridian pathology and Six-Meridian transmission systematically organize the progression, antecedents, and consequences of diseases, serving as the basis for Syndrome Differentiation and Treatment.
Classics like *Shanghan Lun* and *Wenbing Tiaobian* provide orderly principles for treating external invasions, serving as timeless standards for recovery.
Western medicine classifies Ganmao into A, B types, further subtypes like Thai, Sichuan, Siberian... claiming over 200 virus strains. Constant viral culture takes time; by the time the strain is identified, the epidemic has already passed due to weather changes, and everyone recovers. Yet, authorities claim successful prevention/virus elimination.
Regarding Dengue Fever, experts urge prevention, yet outbreaks expand. During typhoons, experts warn of spread via floodwaters. Yet, after typhoons/floods, Dengue disappears. Experts claim success or attribute disappearance to washing away by water, showing ignorance of how weather changes cause pathological transformations, wasting tax funds.
Northern Taiwan has Aedes aegypti and albopictus mosquitoes but no Dengue epidemics, due to climatic variations preventing outbreaks.
Lunar March-April and August-September, transitioning from cold to hot and vice versa, cause bodily discomfort as it adjusts to climate changes, marking peak Ganmao seasons.
Past promotion of A/B vaccines—have those viruses disappeared? Pediatric clinics remain full, proving no need for further promotion.
Reports confirm over 200 Ganmao types and new ones awaiting study, similar to discovering over 250 cancer cell types. Understanding these, Ganmao and cancer cells are merely different symptoms appearing in different meridians/organs due to Wind, Summerheat, Cold, Dampness, Dryness, Fire entering the body.
Understanding TCM Meridian Pathology, Zang-Fu Manifestation Theory, and Six-Meridian Transmission reveals the absurdity of theories claiming 200+ Ganmao types or 200+ cancer types.
Ignoring climatic adaptation and the role of nose/trachea as mere pathways, blindly treating acute/chronic inflammation/allergies causes drug-induced harm, severely damaging national health. Children suffer daily Ganmao, exhausting parents. Pediatric wards are overcrowded. What science is this?
V. Fever
(1) Causes of Fever:
Modern public opinion views fever as loss of control by the thermoregulatory center or invasion by external bacteria/viruses. From a TCM perspective, this is entirely wrong. Erroneous medical practices and drug toxicity lead to adverse outcomes like encephalitis, meningitis, polio. Why?
Air breathed through the nose is warm; skin also breathes, dissipating heat and moisture (sweat).
Heat expelled through respiration and sweating is not body inflammation. It is body temperature generated by the ascent of Heart-Kidney Fire (Emperor Fire and Ministerial Fire)—the residual heat discharged from digesting nutrients and generating energy.
Poor discharge of body heat causes fever, i.e., accumulation of residual heat. Causes include:
1. Ganmao:
See section on causes of Ganmao. Ganmao fever arises when the five Zang organs regulate Five Qi to generate energy/temperature. If regulation fails and heat cannot be discharged, pores are blocked by Wind, Summerheat, Cold, Dampness, Dryness, Fire. Since Lungs govern pores/skin (Metal), pore constriction prevents heat expulsion, causing fever. This is the most common type of febrile Ganmao.
