Drugs and Poisons (I)
Unpublished "The Book of Medical Revolution", written in 1953.
As mentioned earlier, all medicines are poisons, and they stop purification with poisons. It should be understood that these medicines are also of two types, Chinese and Western medicines, both of which have their own special qualities. According to legend, during the pre-Han dynasty in China, a godlike man called Shinnou appeared and collected various plants and trees from the mountains and fields and used them as medicine to cure illnesses. When he gave it to her as a medicine, her suffering decreased and she thought it was the cure for her illness, and it has continued to this day. Of course, even today people don't know that medicines are poison, so why should they in those days? In any case, because the pain was alleviated, albeit temporarily, people believed in the efficacy of the medicines and this has continued to the present day. Since the amount of herbal medicines is very large, even the less harmful poisons can be very harmful, and some people even drink them as a substitute for tea, which is a troublesome story. In addition, people who are regular users of Chinese herbal medicines can be easily identified by their pale complexion. This is probably why most Chinese people are yellow. It also has a considerable effect on the kidneys, causing oedema (swelling). You can often see women of middle age or older with blue swelling, which can be thought of as this. In the past, women in the willow world took dokudami and gentian as their medicine of choice because they were effective in preventing willow disease, in other words, they were effective in stopping the purification of eczema and boils. The same applies to cramps, shortness of breath and cold sores, which were common among women in the past, as well as colic in men, which is a disease that causes pain in the testicles. Other diseases common to both sexes include stomach cramps, beriberi, rheumatism and heart disease.
