of the contemporary school of Acupuncture manipulation technique . Acupuncture

manipulation technique is a “sacred art”. There is no one more qualified than Prof.

Zhang Jin at home or abroad who can truly master this skill, the profound theoretical

research, and the skill of using acupuncture to get cold and heat to control the

meridian Qi. Clinically, many years of experienced TCM acupuncturists have managed to

generate “hot” or “cold” experiences by needling patients, but this kind of

accidental occurance is difficult to repeat. Prof. Zhang Jin’s great contribution lies

Acupuncture manipulations technique , turning “accidental” into “reproducible”,

The Key Role of Heart and Gut Microbes Play in Oncogenesis and Clinical Therapy

Abstract

TCM has a profound theory about oncogenesis and abundant clinical experience in treating cancers. But in current clinical oncology, TCM does not play a major role which it is supposed to do. The main reason is that its theory remains no systemic and clinical experience are scatterings and lack of comprehensive. Its therapeutic potential power could not be fully released. This lecture holds that the core of the Heart is the emperor of all organs; heart is the controller of Nutrient energy and Defensive energy; Heart dominates the blood circulation. It is reasonable to claim that heart malfunction is the original source of cancer, which was fully supported by clinical observation and the interrelationship between heart and cancer disclosed by lately medical science research.

Based on the TCM principle of survival with existing of Wei Qi (Stomach energy) and death without Wei Qi. Quality of Wei Qi includes the gut microbe’s homeostasis, which decides the cancer patient’s prognosis and where the T cells being primed for more power in anti-tumor; to help chemotherapy perform better; to make immunotherapy works properly and so on. Strengthening the Stomach energy may directly contribute to the outcome of anti-tumor.

The article introduces the multiple therapeutic modalities to increase heart energy with the effective modified herbal formulas and concrete acupuncture techniques. As well as delineating how to regulate stomach energy to restore the gut microbes to a relative better condition to achieve a great anti-tumor result clinically.

Title:

State-target Differentiation and Treatment.

Abstract:

State-target Differentiation and Treatment is a thought process that integrates Western and traditional Chinese medicine. On one hand, it involves diagnosing diseases according to Western medicine’s disease names, considering the complete development of diseases, and reevaluating diseases with traditional Chinese medicine diagnostic thinking. This involves classifying diseases, staging them, and differentiating symptoms, understanding the core causes and mechanisms of diseases, and combining symptoms with treatment strategies and targeted medication.

On the other hand, it draws from microscopic examination and utilizes disciplines such as cell and molecular biology, anatomy, and pharmacology. It extends traditional Chinese medicine’s four diagnostic methods by combining the traditional Chinese medicine harmonization approach with micro-targeted therapy, allowing for precise medication and improving the specificity and accuracy of treatment.

The construction of the Harmony-Target-Differentiation-Treatment system provides a new model for clinical diagnosis and treatment in traditional Chinese medicine. While guiding clinical treatment and medication selection, proper dosage is crucial for maximizing the efficacy of targeted treatment. Clinical drug dosages should fall within the range specified in the “Chinese Pharmacopoeia” and the broad dosing thresholds defined in classical medical texts, achieving a balance between the disease and its treatment, with the treatment dosage chosen based on expected outcomes.
