论述说:消渴病(以多饮、多食、多尿、身体消瘦为特征的疾病)患者饮水后随即排出,全部变成小便,这是由于长期服用乳石(矿物药)所导致。日久则导致营卫之气受损,精血亏虚,肌肤消瘦耗损,石毒之气更加炽盛,并波及经络,致使体内津液枯竭,经络凝滞涩阻,营卫运行不畅,热气停留阻滞,因此转变为痈疽(一种发于体表的化脓性疾患)。对此应当穷尽治疗方法,恐怕毒气不能排出而穿透脏腑。

Discussion: In Xiao Ke (Xiao Ke Syndrome, characterized by excessive thirst, hunger, urination, and emaciation), fluids consumed are immediately excreted as urine. This is caused by the long-term ingestion of Rushi (Mineral Drugs). Over time, Ying and Wei Qi (Defensive and Nutritive Qi) are damaged, essence and blood become deficient, and muscle and skin waste away. The toxic nature of the minerals intensifies, affecting the meridians. Internal body fluids are exhausted, meridians become coagulated and obstructed, and Ying and Wei circulation ceases. Heat qi remains stagnant, thus transforming into Yong Ju (Carbuncles and Ulcers, suppurative skin lesions). Thorough treatment methods must be employed to prevent the toxic vapors from failing to exit and penetrating the Zang-Fu organs.
