I. Vaccination is an important current prevention tool
Omicron is more infectious than delta and its toxicity is still a great danger to unvaccinated people.
Full universal vaccination and promotion of booster vaccination are important means of epidemic prevention at present.
Recently, the situation of prevention and control of the new crown epidemic in Shanghai is very serious, and as of 24:00 on April 5, 2022, the cumulative native confirmation has been 3639 cases, with 82,221 cases of native asymptomatic infection.
Hong Kong this round of the epidemic is more serious, more than a million people infected in a short period of time, more than 8,000 people died, the disease death rate of nearly 0.67%. Than the foreign propaganda omicron 0.1% less than the rate of disease and death is much higher.
According to professional analysis reports, there were more unvaccinated elderly people among the sick and dead in Hong Kong. It is presumed that vaccination plays a key role in reducing the rate and severity of the disease.
Omicron virus is particularly dangerous for children because of its high viral load in the bronchi and upper respiratory tract, which predisposes children to fine bronchitis triggering asphyxia.
Therefore, I personally believe that vaccination of children is urgently needed at this stage.
II. Sharing of experience in treating new crown pneumonia for overseas Chinese
Through the observation of remote treatment for a large number of overseas Chinese over the past two years, I personally believe that Chinese medicine treatment is safe and effective.
I have basically used two different treatment methods for treating Neoplastic pneumonia for overseas people.
For individual patients with acute treatment of Chinese diseases, if there is a local herbal store, by asking for symptoms, looking at the tongue photo, and then combining with the physical constitution, and treating with the six meridians of discrimination, I directly prescribe.
In the case of large overseas companies fighting against epidemics, a general prescription is prepared and made into pills or granules, following the traditional model of “decoction in a large pot”, so that overseas people can carry and take them easily.
The major difference between pills and tonics is that pills have better general applicability, fewer side effects, and long-lasting efficacy.
Another advantage of using pills as a general treatment formula against the epidemic is that it can save a great deal of herbs, only one-fifth of that of tonics, which is suitable for such large groups of people against the epidemic.
The establishment of the general treatment formula is based on the research on the pathology and disease mechanism of Neoplastic disease based on the combination of Chinese and Western medicine in the model of “diagnosis and treatment, microscopic identification”, and special prescriptions.
There are many theories on the etiology and pathogenesis of neo-crown in Chinese medicine, including cold-damp epidemic, warm-heat epidemic, damp-poison epidemic, damp-heat epidemic, warm-heat turbid poison, cold-damp-heat turbid poison, damp poison, plague poison, heat disease, etc.
In the process of seeing overseas patients with New Crown Pneumonia, I found that some overseas Chinese could not relieve their symptoms even after taking certain Chinese medicines, and the virus could not turn negative in time. As the virus stays in the body for too long, it causes various sequelae unceasingly.
Once a 20-year-old woman living in Western Europe with newly crowned pneumonia had not recovered her sense of smell even after drinking Chinese medicine for a month, and her sense of taste became confused, eating eggs like dirt and drinking cola like gasoline, and she was in great pain. After receiving the patient, the original TCM treatment plan was adjusted for her, and the patient gradually returned to normal after a week.
Another middle-aged male patient with neoconiosis living in Africa, who could not turn negative for more than a month with viral infection, had symptoms such as chest tightness, weakness, cough, and a white thick tongue that was slow to subside, had been taking the Chinese medicine commonly used in the market for treating neoconiosis for many days. Later, it was changed to herbal treatment, and the virus turned negative rapidly after one week.
Based on the experience of treating a large number of patients with neo-crown, I have concluded an easy way to observe whether the herbal program is effective.
Three criteria for judging improvement after using herbal medicine.
A lighter and thinner tongue, with a photo of the tongue taken daily for comparison.
Reduction of symptoms, such as better appetite, less fatigue, better cough and fever.
Lymphocytes in the blood count turn from decreasing to increasing.
Patients with new coronary pneumonia can use this as a standard to check the efficacy of the herbal medicine they are using. If they do not show these improvements within three to five days, they can basically decide whether the herbal medicine program is working.
Most patients with neo-coronary pneumonia are cured quickly with herbal medicine, unless they are critically ill or have multiple diseases.
III. Chinese medicine treatment should focus on physical factors
The essence of constitution is the difference of the body’s positive energy and function, and the individual characteristics of the body’s immune system.
In Chinese medicine treatment, it is not possible to apply the same remedy to all patients, but it is more accurate and effective to combine individual physical factors.
People with Yang deficiency and Qi deficiency are prone to develop serious illnesses, and even middle-aged people have the probability of dying.
Viruses with damp-heat and phlegm-damp constitutions tend to linger.
Some studies have concluded that patients with yin-deficiency constitution have different immune counteracting principles, the virus produces different symptoms and development, and the herbal formulas used have to be adjusted in time.
The same virus interacts with the immune system of different people, producing different immune responses, different patterns of inflammatory responses, different patterns of evidence, tongue, pulse and prognosis, and thus different pathogenesis of the syndrome, and different treatment methods in Chinese medicine, some to be treated positively (cold then heat), and some to be treated negatively (heat because of heat).
The later the virus turns negative, the more damage it will do to the body. Using the right and accurate Chinese medicine can greatly avoid the sequelae of the new crown.
Ⅳ. Actively apply herbal medicine to prevent the disease to do self-protection
Since this year, the extremely strong contagiousness of Omicron has posed a great challenge to our epidemic prevention work.
Citizens can take herbal preventive prescriptions to strengthen their immunity and actively protect themselves.
1. Chinese herbal medicine is easy and inexpensive to prevent the epidemic
Chinese herbal medicine has the outstanding advantage of being simple and inexpensive. Effective herbal preventive remedies are: Astragalus, Atractylodes, Anemarrhena, Kanzhu, Ginkgo biloba, Chenpi and Pelargonium.
People can take them when they are weak or when they are exposed to high-risk groups, which can strengthen their immunity, reduce the risk of infection and reduce the probability of becoming seriously ill.
If the formula is then adjusted according to the individual’s TCM constitution, the prevention effect will be better.
2. Do good self-protection
In addition to wearing a good mask, hand hygiene is important. Wash your hands first when you return from an outing and prohibit your hands from touching your face outside.
After returning to your home from a high-risk area or a foreign place where you have contact with an unfamiliar group, try to stay at home for a few days to observe the virus and test the nucleic acid a few more times, so as to reduce the risk of virus transmission.
Cleaning the environment to kill the virus, medical alcohol or ultraviolet light are convenient things to do.
