Chemotherapy-induced nausea

The rubric complementary medicine covers a variety of approaches that may seem alike only in their being outside conventional care and training. We have asked experienced practitioners to present their own pieces of this jigsaw, realising that these clinical fragments, when seen together, create excitement but also confusion. Of course, this forum is not intended to be a comprehensive review of relevant complementary treatments, and often the individual apporaches to clinical problems will appear totally unrelated, while their apparent effectiveness stretches the biomedical model and conventional research methodology beyond their capacity. With this in mind, we intend that forthcoming articles and reviews will expand on the therapies themselves, and discuss the evidence supporting them.     

黄元御“一气周流”与慢性肾功能衰竭

黄元御《四圣心源》从天人合一角度,归纳"左路木火升发,右路金水敛降,中焦土气斡旋"的"一气周流"理论模型,切中人体生理本质,理论与临床结合,执简驭繁,举纲张目;"一气"乃人体内浑然一体之土气,即脾胃之气,人体与天地一样"阴阳肇基,爰有祖气",祖气亦分阴阳,阴阳之间是谓中气,即脾胃之气。慢性肾功能衰竭临床证候复杂多样,病机变化多端,大致归为水寒、土湿、木郁,尤以水寒土湿为根本;一气不能正常周流出现各种不同症状表现,脾肾阳虚日久,必然阳损及阴,肝郁而生热,灼湿成痰化瘀,使一气周流更加郁滞,临证诊治应重中气脾土,根据四维升降辨治,使水暖、土干、木达的同时,结合具体情况灵活处理,修复源头加处理显现情况,帮助一气运转起来,使中气运动、四维轮转、清浊复位、阴阳既济,从而达到土枢四象、一气周流的目的。从"一气周流"入手,探析慢性肾衰病机,可有效指导临床辨治,为临床辨治慢性肾衰提供新思路。
