Based on the theory of Zangfu organs and meridians, it draws on the essence of the academics of doctors in the past dynasties, especially the important theory of Huangdi Neijing to guide the clinical practice of acupuncture and moxibustion. This paper introduces the academic thought of HE's tube acupuncture. Mr HE believes that the pathogenesis of vertigo is mainly the first, kidney essence is deficient, and the heart fire burns alone,therefore disharmony occurs between heart and kidney. Secondly, liver and kidney Yin's deficiency, Yin is deficient while Yang is hyperactive or Yin is deficient and wind. Thirdly, the spleen Qi is deficient, Qingyang fails to ascend, and the main Zangfu organs are responsible for the liver, spleen and kidney. In the treatment, it emphasizes the characteristics of TCM paying attention to the whole, syndrome differentiation and treatment, selects the principal acupuncture points of the bladder meridian of foot Taiyang, kidney meridian of foot Shaoyin, hand Jueyin pericardium meridian, heart meridian of hand Shaoyin, include Kunlun(BL60), Yongquan(KI1), Neiguan(PC6), Fuliu(KI7), Daling(PC7),Shenmen(HT7), Shenmai(BL62), Tianzhu(BL10), Baihui(GV20), Beiyu points, etc. Finally, combined with the actual medical records,the clinical effect of HE's tube acupuncture technique in the treatment of vertigo is explained in detail.展开更多

The unification and innovation of cancer pathogenesis is the key to the breakthrough of Chinese medicine. According to the related theory in Neijing, cancer in different parts of the body could be classified based on the five elements. Chinese mainland is divided into five parts： east, south, west, north and central section. Based on the annual data of China Cancer Center, we analyzed the data of 72 cancer registries covering 32 provinces and autonomous regions for consecutive 5 years. The results showed that the total incidence of the five regions in the mainland of China was statistically significant （F = 8.561, P 〈 0.01）; the east was the highest, the west was the lowest, and the south, middle and north were in the middle level. The incidence of tumors in different parts of the human body was statistically significant （F = 523.382, P 〈 0.01）. The incidence rate from high to low was lung, spleen, kidney, liver and heart. The heat is too much in China＇s eastern and the southern, and Qi is not too enough in the northwest. Five-Qi was imbalance. The pathogenesis of cancer is due to the two aspects, deficiency of five Zang-organs and abnormal seasonal climates. The viscera weakness for a long period and abnormal seasonal climates causes the body Yin and Yang disharmony, resulting in five zang organs dysfunction.展开更多

In historical times, the acupuncture of Neo＇ing （Inner Canon） （Neijing acupuncture） was added to Ashi point acupuncture. In our times, acupuncture microsystems were introduced, usually beside the rules set up by qi and ＂the web that has no weaver＂. The question is whether the microsystems are located outside or within the ＂the web that has no weaver＂ and they are included in the theory of the Neijing acupuncture？ Most of the microsystems rest on theories of their own based on the location of the acupoint, and do not care for their intersections with the ＂Neijing acupuncture＂, neither in theory nor in clinic. However, there exist two acupuncture theories to explain acupuncture, but which one is the better？ These questions will be explained and discussed.展开更多
