生活在文明社会常常会听到人家说肚子容易胀风，胃痛及消化不良的苦恼。有些人患有这些问题已经是十几，二十年了，有些甚至还到医院进行过胃镜检查，而且还花了不少钱，得到的结论是胃部有受伤的痕迹或医生常说的胃酸太多，但是病人却不知道形成胃病的真正原因及应该如何根治这个问题。

牛皮癣
它特征为有着清楚的边界，红点堆集，红斑，表层覆盖着多层银白色鳞屑及发痒。当瘙痒时，鳞屑碎会纷纷掉落，若用力过度的抓痒则会使鳞屑破裂并有疼痛感，但这并非属于传染病。
干性皮肤
皮肤干燥是跟脾胃健壮与否有直接的关系，饮食后的水谷精微很难形成及传送至小肠以再度被消化及吸收。缺少了这个消化与吸收，皮肤的到水液滋润就较少，所以形成干性皮肤。
身形瘦小，气血不足的男男女女也是因为脾胃虚弱有关，当饮食进入体内，胃会初步消化及搅粹食物，然后再配和脾的运化功能把这搅粹的食物腐熟再形成水谷精微，接着把一部分的水谷精微化成气血，其它的再传送去小肠再度消化及吸收。如果脾胃虚弱，饮食就难腐熟及气血难形成，那么此人很难从饮食中得到营养，故身体自然瘦小，气血缺乏。
脾胃虚弱的原因有分先天性及后天性两种，现天性是指遗传自父母，而后天性脾胃虚弱是由饮食不当所为。

人体的水液循环
在人体的结构上，水液占了人体大概三份之二，因此体内的水液运行顺畅与否会直接影响着人体的健康。人体的水液代谢和调节之运作是与肺，脾，胃和肾这几个器官有紧密的关系，而且在整个系统上，肾是负责领导的作用。
在正常情况下，每个人都应该有两粒，它分隔在腰部的左与右，形成左肾和右肾，左肾俗称肾阴，右肾俗称肾阳。许多人并不了解这两者之间的分别，肾阴属水藏精，有提供水液以滋养五脏六腑的功能；肾阳属火，是生命的动力，是气化的根源，能推动五脏六腑的运作。肾阳是经过『现天之精』与『后天之精』的互相作用下形成的一股阳气。脾的运化，肺的通调，三焦的运作，膀胱的排泄尿液，大肠肛直肠的排出粪便都须靠肾阳的健壮运作。
当人类经过饮食把水液从口通过食道送进入胃，这些水液会经过脾的气化功能上输到肺，当肺有了这些水液的滋养，它主控的呼吸系统才会正常地操作，接着这些水液会通过肺的肃降作用下行到肾，所下降的水液会通过肾阴分成『清』与『浊』两个部份，清洁的水液会从新被吸收然后回传到肺，这个过程称为『清升』，而肮脏的水液会流入膀胱等待排出体外，这称为『浊降』，这整个过程形成体内的水液的输送与分佈。如果肾阳不足，气化作用就会减退，人体就会衰老虚弱。如果情况继续恶化，水液的输送和分佈就会失常，这时体内会出现水液运作失常所衍生出来的疾病，例如全身或局部水肿，大小便不顺畅，肺，胃，脑积水等等。
人体内各系统之运作非常复杂，如果要了解疾病发生的原因就必须深入探讨各别器官的功能及器官与器官之间的相互运作与影响，这才能有效的消除疾病。如一味的只治疗眼前所能看到的问题并不能完全的根治体内水液代谢和调节之运作失常所带来的问题，而且这些问题并无法使用目前的科技来预防及检查，要真正杜绝此问题则须依靠健壮的五脏六腑。

Blood Pressure Testing and Measurement
AHA Recommendation
The only way to find out if you have high blood pressure is to have your blood pressure checked. Your doctor or another qualified health professional should check it at least once every two years and more often if it's high. Blood pressure is measured by a quick, painless test using a medical instrument called a sphygmomanometer (SFIG'mo-mah-NOM'eh-ter).
A rubber cuff is wrapped around your upper arm and inflated. This compresses a large artery in the arm, momentarily stopping the blood flow.
Next, air in the cuff is released, and the person measuring the blood pressure listens with a stethoscope. When the blood starts to pulse through the artery, it makes a sound. Sounds continue to be heard until pressure in the artery exceeds the pressure in the cuff.
While the person listens and watches the sphygmomanometer gauge, he or she records two measurements. Systolic pressure is the pressure of the blood flow when the heart beats (the pressure when the first sound is heard). Diastolic pressure is the pressure between heartbeats (the pressure when the last sound is heard). Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury, which is abbreviated mm Hg.
A typical blood pressure reading for an adult might be 118/78 mm Hg, but readings vary depending on age and other factors. Normal blood pressure is defined by a range of values, so don't be alarmed if your own reading is somewhat higher or lower. The important point is that the harder it is for blood to flow, the higher the numbers will be.

白癜风（vitiliginous Complexion）
春秋战国时代中庸医学程之为【白驳风】或【白斑纹】或【斑白】等古名。属于体内运作障碍之因素，导致自然色素脱失而肌损处出现白斑色或乳白色斑之一种肤颜病。
它不直接影响健康惟有碍美观。
此病开始喜发於夏季，盛於冬季，青年男女性多见，中年晚年少有。可单发或泛发，呈对称或不对称出现，形状不定，大小不一，日嗮后可以减轻或无意中通过饮食，机体获得所需之营卫而自然消失。病发速度缓慢，若经年累月不治，机体更虚损时情况会加重难愈而令患者精神紧张，烦恼及痛苦。
白癜风的病因病理：
本病的外因是感受风邪或跌伤，内因是情志所伤，血虚失精导致气血失和，肝肾不足和血瘀阻络而生白癜风。
（一） 气血不和
情志内伤，气血违和，肌表组织失养而抗卫之能甚缺时，风邪易x客於肌表，经络脉受阻而生白癜风。
（二） 肝肾不足
先天素体欠健，肝主藏血，肾主藏精，肝肾亏虚，精亏不能化血，血虚有无以生精，长期精气不足，机体就虚失养导致精失，机表皮毛失荣卫之养而生白癜风。
（三） 血瘀阻络
跌伤损肌，或怒伤肝胆而气滞血瘀导致血瘀阻络。络脉受阻，瘀血不消，新血不生，气血运行失常，体肤失其荣养泽悦而生白癜风。
本病的肌损会呈白色或乳白色斑点或斑片，逐渐扩大，边缘或有深褐色或中央有褐色斑点。常出现在指背，手腕，前手臂，肘部耳环，左右面额，眼睛周围，颈项，发际，胸，腹，前阴，后阴，腰背。白癜风斑内的毛也会变白但是无痒或麻木之感觉，也无脱屑。
必须考虑肌损的情况和肌体症状以及舌与脉来调养：
（一）气血不和症状：
发病的时间长短不一，多在三个月到十八个月左右，无意中发现肌损外呈圆圈形或椭圆形或不规则的片状分佈。发病之前，患者会感觉体质较平常虚弱，或有经神刺激，可伴有四肢酸软，出汗恶风等症状。舌色淡红，苔白，脉滑细无力。
郭生草药健脾益胃，养育气血，通络消风调养方法：
用002，113，7，，HNIII，168，001各八药匙。一日两次辰时和酉时空腹吃。
（二）肝肾不足症状：
若是肝肾不足而引发本病则发病的时间比较长，可伴有家族病史，白癜风局限在一处而不扩大伸展，斑色是纯白色，斑内毛发也属白。境界整齐边缘清楚，可伴有腰膝酸软，遗精盗汗，双眼干燥少泪水，伴有头眩耳鸣等症状。舌淡红无华或舌质干红少苔。因为肾藏精，其华在发；肝藏血，其华在爪，发为血之馀，所以肝肾不足，毛发可随白癜风变白；体质失养故斑色纯白。肾精亏损，腰腑失养故腰膝酸软，骨蒸盗汗；肝血不足，头目失养则有双目干涩及头眩耳鸣之症状。
郭生草药滋补肝肾，养血祛风，清热滋阴止骨蒸盗汗调养方法：
用草药1688，HNI，88，HNIII，313，7，001，16，106，23，168各八药匙。一日两次辰时和酉时空腹吃。
（三）血瘀阻络症状：
此症病程长久，白癜风局限在一处或泛发全身，正常肌色不多。肌损呈地图形或斑块形，境界清楚易辨，边缘呈深褐色或紫褐色。伴有口唇呈紫色，面色青白，口干不欲饮之症状。舌质暗有瘀点或瘀斑。脉象涩滞。
血瘀阻络，瘀血不去，新血不生，肌肤失养故生白癜风斑。
郭生草药活血化瘀，疏通经络，养新血除斑调养方法：
用草药168，001，7，113，002，23，106，HNIII各八药匙。一日两次辰时和酉时空腹吃。

Colon and Rectum Cancer
It is estimated that 142,570 men and women (72,090 men and 70,480 women) will be diagnosed with and 51,370 men and women will die of cancer of the colon and rectum in 20101.
The following information is based on NCI’s SEER Cancer Statistics Review2.Use the links on this page to learn more about each statistic type:
SEER Incidence
From 2004-2008, the median age at diagnosis for cancer of the colon and rectum was 70 years of age3. Approximately 0.1% were diagnosed under age 20; 1.1% between 20 and 34; 3.9% between 35 and 44; 12.8% between 45 and 54; 19.6% between 55 and 64; 24.1% between 65 and 74; 26.2% between 75 and 84; and 12.2% 85+ years of age.
The age-adjusted incidence rate was 47.2 per 100,000 men and women per year. These rates are based on cases diagnosed in 2004-2008 from 17 SEER geographic areas.
![]()
US Mortality
From 2003-2007, the median age at death for cancer of the colon and rectum was 75 years of age4. Approximately 0.0% died under age 20; 0.6% between 20 and 34; 2.4% between 35 and 44; 8.1% between 45 and 54; 15.6% between 55 and 64; 22.2% between 65 and 74; 30.4% between 75 and 84; and 20.6% 85+ years of age.
The age-adjusted death rate was 17.6 per 100,000 men and women per year. These rates are based on patients who died in 2003-2007 in the US.

Trends in Rates
Trends in rates can be described in many ways. Information for trends over a fixed period of time, for example 1996-2008, can be evaluated by the annual percentage change (APC) (See Fast Stats for trends over fixed time intervals) . If there is a negative sign before the number, the trend is a decrease; otherwise it is an increase. If there is an asterisk after the APC then the trend was significant, that is, one believes that it is beyond chance, i.e. 95% sure, that the increase or decrease is real over the period 1996-2008. If the trend is not significant, the trend is usually reported as stable or level. Joinpoint analyses can be used over a long period of time to evaluate when changes in the trend have occurred along with the APC which shows how much the trend has changed between each of the joinpoints.
![]()
Survival & Stage
Survival can be calculated by different methods for different purposes. The survival statistics presented here are based on relative survival, which measures the survival of the cancer patients in comparison to the general population to estimate the effect of cancer. The overall 5-year relative survival for 2001-2007 from 17 SEER geographic areas was 64.3%. Five-year relative survival by race and sex was: 65.5% for white men; 64.5% for white women; 55.0% for black men; 56.9% for black women.
![]()
The stage distribution is based on Summary Stage 2000. (See Fast Stats for more detailed statistics)
Lifetime Risk
Based on rates from 2005-2007, 5.12% of men and women born today will be diagnosed with cancer of the colon and rectum at some time during their lifetime. This number can also be expressed as 1 in 20 men and women will be diagnosed with cancer of the colon and rectum during their lifetime. These statistics are called the lifetime risk of developing cancer. Sometimes it is more useful to look at the probability of developing cancer of the colon and rectum between two age groups. For example, 2.04% of men will develop cancer of the colon and rectum between their 50th and 70th birthdays compared to 1.53% for women. (See Fast Stats for more detailed statistics, and Probability of Developing and Dying of Cancer for methodology)
Prevalence
On January 1, 2008, in the United States there were approximately 1,110,077 men and women alive who had a history of cancer of the colon and rectum -- 542,127 men and 567,950 women. This includes any person alive on January 1, 2008 who had been diagnosed with cancer of the colon and rectum at any point prior to January 1, 2008 and includes persons with active disease and those who are cured of their disease. Prevalence can also be expressed as a percentage and it can also be calculated for a specific amount of time prior to January 1, 2008 such as diagnosed within 5 years of January 1, 2008.
