A variant of the New Coronavirus (CCP virus) had already appeared in the UK before Christmas last year. Shu Rong, director of Dr. Rong’s clinic in Cambridge, England, walked to the window, opened the curtain and looked out at the sky, hoping for snow in the coming days.

Dr. Rong comes from a Family of Chinese doctors with a history of more than 600 years, and is a graduate of the Hubei University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and has been practicing medicine for more than 30 years as an attending physician at the Tongji Medical University Hospital. She knows that “if you don’t hide the essence in winter, you will be sick and warm in spring.”

*Treatment of New Coronavirus (CCP virus) shows miraculous results

Like most traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, Dr. Rong’s ancestors had no shortage of experience in treating seasonal diseases. Her grandfather once saved more than 70 people from a local epidemic in the 1950s with his homemade Chinese medicine, so much so that many Western doctors at the Time were shocked by the extraordinary efficacy of Chinese medicine and took her grandfather as their teacher.

Since the outbreak of the plague last year, Shu Rong has received many patients with the New Coronavirus (Chinese Communist virus). Her patients’ symptoms often disappeared after two or three days of medication, which made her reputation.

One day, she was approached by a Chinese nurse who worked in the hospital’s ICU ward. When Dr. Rong diagnosed this patient remotely, the nurse had had a high fever for seven or eight days and was showing typical symptoms of the new coronavirus (CCA virus): loss of taste and smell, inability to sleep, lack of strength and difficulty breathing.

“She is past our early stage of clearing heat and removing toxins and phlegm and dampness; now she is ‘in great decline’ and I want to ‘support the righteous and drive away evil’.” Dr. Rong explained, “And the power to support the righteousness has to be on the greater side.”

She made a treatment plan for the patient, grabbed the medicine and sent it to the patient. The fever went down after just one pair of pills; after seven days of taking them, the patient was basically fine.

Knowing that the patient was still weak, Dr. Rong wanted to give her another post-treatment maintenance. But according to Western medicine, the patient was already well and went to work. As luck would have it, the nurse later fainted again at work from exhaustion and fatigue.

Dr. Rong said she cited this example to tell people, “When you have mild symptoms, you must treat them early, early treatment will recover quickly and you don’t need post-treatment; but if you are very sick, don’t forget to do a post-treatment, so that your righteousness will recover and your five organs will be stronger.”

*New Tang Dynasty’s “health 1+1″ guest expert

During Christmas, the weather outside not only did not snow at all, but the sun shone brightly and it was as warm as spring. While she was busy prescribing medication for the new patients who asked for it online, she also went on TV to explain to Chinese viewers how to prevent the disease.

Dr. Rong understands the principle of “Medicine and Yi have the same origin”. She has been studying Zhou Yi for many years and knows that the characteristics of the epidemic are closely related to the year of the outbreak, or that people can detect the epidemic from the heavenly stems and earthly branches.

On December 28, 2020, Dr. Rong was a guest expert on a famous health program, “Health 1+1” on New Tang Dynasty TV, and explained her prediction of plague in winter and spring to the audience.

Dr. Rong said, “The year 2020 is the year of Gengzi, which is very yin, and most elderly people and those with underlying illnesses have insufficient yang energy and can easily be invaded by yin and cold evil and get sick.

“But after the last two months of 2020, Yin Qi is even more rumbling, Yin cold to the extreme, there is like the fall of light, darkness envelops the earth, many young people also do not have enough Yang Qi to resist Yin cold evil Qi, plus they do not pay attention to maintenance precautions, so young people are infected in large numbers.”

And on February 3, 2021, 22:58:39 seconds is the official time of spring, since then, mankind has officially gone into the year of Xinchu, and the situation has changed again.

Dr. Rong said, “In the year of Xin Ugly, Xin is Gold, Ugly is earth, and earth produces gold, so it is clear that Xin Ugly is a year of excessive gold …… heart is fire, and our heart will also be restrained and prone to disease.”

“And the heart is the master of the gods and the heart is the master of the blood. Young and strong people are more vigorous, so the yang energy that is enclosed in the body is also more than others, smothered in the body to turn fire and hurt yin. Once infected with the epidemic and spread to the lungs, it will easily injure the heart vessels and disturb the gods, causing mental consciousness thinking disorders as well as the occurrence of bleeding disorders, including situations such as bleeding from the seven orifices.”

The above speculation of Dr. Rong was confirmed. According to a weekly report published by the CDC’s CDC on Jan. 22, nearly 3 million cases of young people were recently infected; 57 percent of the new cases were patients between the ages of 18 and 24.

A Feb. 16 New York Times story said doctors at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles have seen an increase in the number of young patients diagnosed with COVID-19 since late October of last year, and the severity of the disease has led to many ICU admissions and deaths.

The European Society of Cardiology reported on Feb. 5 that patients infected with the New Coronavirus are at high risk of dying from cardiac arrest, and a Texas television station, KLTV, reported that doctors in East Texas have found that some patients with the New Coronavirus are showing symptoms of heart disease.

Traditional Chinese medicine is so profound and sophisticated that a true TCM doctor should be someone who “looks up at the sky, looks down at the earth, and knows the people”. Dr. Rong said that contrary to the “accumulation” and “innovation” of Western medicine, in the field of Chinese medicine, “the more ancient is the more scientific and accurate”. As she studied Chinese medicine and improved her practice, she felt the deep connection between all things in the universe.

“To give you a simple example, when I see your eyes, I’m not just looking at your eyes, but I’m seeing your whole body through your eyes, and all the five elements of yin and yang are reacting in your eyes.”

Dr. Rong said she can see through the patient’s pupils to his liver and tendons; see his temper and think of his guts; she also associates it with spring and vegetables; she also thinks of green, trees; she also thinks of the east in the other person’s Home; she also thinks of the wind …… “I look at a point in a person and I think of A big universe, there will be images showing up in my head, and I’ll know which part of him is wrong.”

And all these profound truths come from the ancient book “Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine”. Dr. Rong said that in the field of Chinese medicine, the older it is, the more scientific and accurate it is. The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine, for example, formed the canon during the Han Dynasty, but most of the articles in it date from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.

“But it’s impossible for that time to suddenly appear so many heirloom papers, ah, and further back, they all say they were passed down from the time of the Yellow Emperor.” She said. “So who actually wrote the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine? Who is the Yellow Emperor? Let’s just say it was God.”

Dr. Rong has had a deep experience with Chinese divine heirloom Culture in her medical practice. For example, she had a miraculous experience years ago when she treated the “oil king” sheikh of an oil-producing country.

It was shortly after Dr. Rong opened her practice in Cambridge. One day an Arab doctor came in who had already been to see Dr. Rong many times. The purpose of his visit this time was not to see a doctor for himself, but to ask Dr. Rong to see his boss, an Arab sheikh.

The doctor explained that he wanted to ask Dr. Rong to see his boss because among the more than 100 acupuncturists around the world he had seen in 20 years, Dr. Rong’s acupuncture technique was the best, “not only was the needle very light and did not use strong stimulation techniques, but the feeling of the needle was very strong, and the energy was transmitted very deep and far “Therefore, he has the confidence to recommend Dr. Rong to his boss.

In order to make the patient “get qi” as soon as possible, doctors often have to do some lifting, thrusting, twisting, turning and other techniques during acupuncture, and even with the help of electric needles to enhance the feeling of needles and strengthen the healing effect. But Dr. Rong does not need to. She just needs to pierce the needle very gently and then the patient gets qi, she does not need to do other actions.

The Arab sheikh had a strange disease with unbearable back pain, and many famous doctors from all over the world were unable to cure his disease.

Dr. Rong examined the chief’s painful area and found that he had a significant pressure pain in an area about 12 cm in diameter and some local tissue hardening, but no redness or swelling.

As the saying goes, “if it passes, it doesn’t hurt, but if it hurts, it doesn’t pass”, Dr. Rong had a good idea and started to give the patient acupuncture and dispensing medicine. After only one treatment, the chief felt a significant reduction in pain; after that, he saw him two or three times a week. To facilitate the visit, the sheikh bought a special car for transporting Dr. Rong to see him. This man was completely cured after a month and has not had a recurrence for many years.

The sheikh was so happy when the back pain was cured that he treated Dr. Rong as an honored guest, invited her to a banquet that women were never allowed to attend according to the Arab custom, and invited Dr. Rong to sit on an equal footing with his ministers.

Later, the sheikh asked Dr. Rong if she could treat his abdominal distension. It turned out that the sheikh had been suffering from bloating and abdominal pain for many years, and his stomach was often so bloated that he could not eat.

Dr. Rong gave him acupuncture once and the patient showed significant improvement. After a few days, when Dr. Rong went to see the chief again, the chief said that the bloating had disappeared.

Dr. Rong said, “A highly skilled TCM doctor is concerned with ‘looking, smelling, asking and cutting’. When a patient comes in, the doctor knows the condition at a glance. In ancient times, Chinese medicine doctors were all with supernormal capabilities, for example, Hua Tuo could see a tumor in a person’s brain with his celestial eyes, and had anesthesia scatter to open the skull for surgery, etc.. So, the theism of yin and yang and the unity of heaven and man is the essence of Chinese medicine.”

*Save a person’s Life by taking his pulse

Shu Rong was sent to his grandfather at the age of three and saw him prescribe medicine to the sick every day, and from a young age he had an unusual fondness for those plants like bark and grass roots. So much so that when she grew up and visited the world, she always looked, smelled, licked and tasted those ancient plants. In her eyes, “all the plants in the world can be made into medicine”.

When it came time to go to university, Shu Rong wanted to study modern medicine or biological science first, and then study Chinese medicine, but her father filled in the Chinese medicine volunteer directly for her, which made her realize the role of “fate” in human life at a young age, so she followed her Destiny and went to Hubei University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Shu Rong comes from a 600-year-old family of Chinese medicine practitioners, grew up in a pharmacy, and then went to the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, where she studied the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine and the Book of Zhou Yi for many years. (Courtesy of the interviewee)

Shu Rong came to the UK in 2004, and the following year she opened a Chinese medicine clinic in Cambridge. One day soon after opening, she met a patient whose life she saved with a simple pulse check.

It was a 76-year-old gentleman with a bad leg, and Dr. Rong knew at first glance that he had a heart problem. But this patient drove himself to the clinic and said he sees a heart doctor once every two years and is doing well.

Shu Rong put her hand on the old gentleman’s wrist to check his pulse, and as soon as her hand was on it she said with all her heart that it was not good, because this man’s pulse knotted generation was very strong.

“This means that his heart disease is very serious, at any time there is the possibility of sudden death.” Dr. Rong understood it in her heart, but did not say it on her lips for fear of adding to the patient’s psychological burden, which would be detrimental to his condition. She treated the patient’s leg problems and added acupuncture points to strengthen the heart. After the treatment, Dr. Rong instructed the patient to make sure to get his heart checked by his family doctor when he went home.

The patient looked at her serious expression and immediately went back to the doctor. Fortunately, his family doctor took the words of Dr. Rong, a TCM acupuncturist, seriously and quickly arranged for another examination, even though he had just given the patient a heart checkup a few months earlier.

As a result, the doctors found the problem right then and there. While doing the surgery, they saw that three of the four blood vessels entering this patient’s heart were already blocked, and if they didn’t operate, the patient could collapse and die at any time.

The lead surgeon said to this patient, “Your acupuncturist saved your life.”

*Acupuncture cures terminal illnesses identified by Western medicine

As the saying goes, “Western medicine treats the surface, Chinese medicine treats the root.” Dr. Rong often uses imaginative analogies with her patients to explain the energy principles of the human body.

She said, “The human body is a small universe, such as the earth, with rivers, lakes and seas, as well as tributaries, wells, tap water, the entire water source, flowing to each household for each person to use. And our body’s meridian system flows like this to every part of our body.

“When the meridians of the human body are not working, we get diseases. There are two reasons for the blockage of meridians, one is the blockage of meridians and the other is the weakness of meridian energy. When the river is blocked, it needs to be unblocked; when the meridian Qi is weak, it needs to be replenished. So, the surface is the same problem, the root cause may be different.”

After figuring out these truths, Dr. Rong said, some terminal illnesses that seemed incurable in Western medicine were eliminated in her hands.

One day last year, a 58-year-old female patient named Claudia arrived at Dr. Rong’s clinic with a red lower body and a figure-8 white spot from the clitoris to the perineum area, diagnosed by Western doctors as Lichen Sclerosus Volva, an incurable disease that required lifelong hormonal creams to control its development.

Even with the use of hormonal creams, the patient’s symptoms continued to worsen, and the Western physician kept switching to more potent hormonal creams for treatment, and asked the patient to use antibiotics in conjunction with the treatment. The patient was worried about the side effects of the ever-increasing hormone doses and was later referred to Dr. Rong.

At that time, because it was during the city closure of the new crown epidemic, Dr. Rong could only prescribe the medication to the patient by remote consultation and sent it to him. The patient came to the clinic two weeks after taking the medicine and happily told Dr. Rong that her lower body had not been itchy since she took her herbal medicine, so she stopped the hormone creams herself and did not experience itching, and the redness and white spots on her lower body were fading.

Even more amazingly, all her other physical symptoms improved, including nervousness, anxiety, frequent urination and insomnia. After some time, Dr. Rong stopped her herbal medicine to observe her self-regulation ability. As a result, the patient did not have any recurrence of various symptoms during the period when she stopped taking the herbal medicine.

*Remote treatment of mental illness

When it comes to the “whole”, TCM believes that the human being is a whole, not a partial.

“Our body is influenced by many factors, man is between heaven and earth, a product of heaven and earth, your heaven will affect you, and your earth will affect you.” Dr. Rong said, “And the energy between heaven and earth corresponds in your body to the five elements of yin and yang; if your yin and yang elements are out of balance, it will lead to disease – this is the concept of disease in Chinese medicine ‘in’, and this concept is very big, but it’s also very simple.”

One of the key factors that affect physical health is a person’s emotions. Chinese medicine says that the “seven emotions” such as joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear and fear are associated with the five organs, and are the emotions emitted from the five organs; and these emotions can in turn harm the internal organs of a person.

“So we must talk to patients to regulate the emotions.” Dr. Rong said, “There are many people in the West who suffer from depression and other mental illnesses; on the one hand, we have to advise him to regulate his emotions, which is what the patient has to do; on the other hand, we in Chinese medicine have to treat his emotional illness by treating his internal organs, to see if they are too strong or too weak, or if there is an imbalance between yin and yang, etc.”

Dr. Rong has treated a patient from as far away as mainland China. This man had a family history of mental illness. When he was wronged by others and was about to lose his job, he became extremely fearful and felt that others were going to kill him. He was so frightened that he made several suicide attempts at home by slitting his wrists and also tried to set fire to the house several times. …… The family needed to guard him 24 hours a day. The symptoms of mental illness are very serious, and no western medicine helps.

After Dr. Rong received the consultation, through remote consultation, and review the patient’s tongue image photos, found that he was depressed liver qi, kidney deficiency and easy to fear.

“The disease of the seven emotions cannot be separated from the liver, and we know from his symptoms that there is something wrong with the liver, because the liver is the master of the emotions, so it must be regulated, which is the principle of Chinese medicine in treating psychosis.” Dr. Rong said, “I also saw that he was very fearful, feeling that others were going to hurt him, with nowhere to hide, fearful to the extreme and berserk. This means that his kidneys are not strong, because the kidneys are the master of fear, the essence of the innate nature, fear is under the qi, for such a person must replenish the kidney essence, dredge the liver and relieve depression.”

But this was still not enough. This patient could not eat because of fear, and his spleen and stomach were again insufficient. Dr. Rong again gave him to regulate the spleen and stomach. After giving this patient an overall analysis in this way, “if there is deficiency, tonic, if there is reality, drain”, Dr. Rong prescribed the right medicine for him.

His family said that the patient calmed down after taking the medicine for a few days, and his appetite increased. Finally, the patient’s family sent a banner to Dr. Rong with the inscription: “Virtuous Medicine, Wonderful Hands”.

Dr. Rong said, according to Chinese medicine, all five organs of human beings have a material side and a spiritual side (referred to as God). For example, the spirit of the heart is called “Shen”; the spirit of the liver is called “Soul”; the spirit of the lungs is called “Prana”; the spirit of the spleen is called “Yi “The spirit of the kidney is called the “will”.

“All people who suffer from mental illness are caused by the synergy of two factors: one is the stimulation of external factors; the other is the imbalance of the five internal organs. Where there is a deficiency, after being stimulated externally, the “spirit” of the original deficient internal organs cannot withstand such stimulation, and therefore mental symptoms appear.

“When we treat mental illness, we can do spiritual enlightenment, we can also use the principle of the five elements to regulate the five organs of the gods, and we can also regulate the material part of the five organs to balance the function of the internal organs, so as to achieve the purpose of treating mental illness.”

For this patient, Dr. Rong said, his family is already engaged in spiritual enlightenment. “But it wasn’t enough to achieve results. Therefore, I strengthened the ‘God’ part of his five organs by toning this part of his five material bodies so that his psychosis was under control.”

*Advice for the prevention of the new coronavirus (CCP virus)

Because the new wave of the epidemic is characterized by the fact that “after excess internal heat and feeling the cold evil, it is easy to be attacked by the disease evil; after the disease evil attacks the lungs it will easily attack the pericardium, and even the heart will be damaged, and the blood vessels and the mind will be affected, and a crisis situation will occur”, therefore “not allowing the internal heat to become excessive Therefore, “not to overload the internal heat” is the key to avoid the infection from becoming a serious and critical illness.

Dr. Rong therefore suggests Chinese people to pay attention to the following seven points, which can prevent the internal heat from becoming excessive and preserve the true yin in the body.

  1. Pay attention to keeping warm in winter and do not suffer from cold in spring so that Yang energy will not be closed and cannot be evacuated and turn into heat.
  2. Do not eat spicy, barbecue, fried and other foods that can easily generate internal heat.
  3. Do not smoke and drink alcohol to avoid internal fire and burning of true yin.
  4. Excessive emotions can also turn into fire, so keep your mind calm.
  5. Excessive sexual life will hurt Yin and fire, need to abstain.
  6. eat more seasonal vegetables in spring, especially the young shoots of vegetables, such as mung bean sprouts, soybean sprouts, leeks, turnip greens, cabbage, moss, etc.
  7. Stay up late and sleep the most depleted true yin and internal heat, sleep before 11:00 pm is better. Especially when the body is tired and the first feeling of epidemic, drink some ginger sugar tea and more hot porridge, maybe the next day can be cured, otherwise the condition is easily aggravated.

Dr. Rong said that prevention and early treatment are extremely critical. If you pay attention to the above seven points, you can achieve “sufficient yin essence, internal heat does not arise”, the ability to resist the plague will be naturally strong.

However, if you are infected or have symptoms of epidemic, you must drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables and rest more; if you have fever, do not use physical cooling, otherwise the internal heat will be more serious and the disease will easily worsen; you can reduce the fever by drinking more mung bean water or green vegetable juice.

On New Year’s Eve, Dr. Rong made a special live broadcast on New Tang Dynasty’s “Health 1+1” program with the theme of “Anti-epidemic Body and Soul”. She promised that she will continue to interact directly with the global Chinese audience on this program. Dr. Rong believes that educating the public and persuading people to believe in the traditional Chinese medical culture of “unity of heaven and man” is as important as treating patients in her clinic.

After the program, Dr. Rong went to the window and looked out. At this time, spring is approaching the earth and everything is renewed, and mankind is entering a new season. She lowered the curtain and turned back to the table, ready to welcome her first patient of the New Year.
