The Liu Family Therapy and Practice of Preventing and Managing Chronic Diseases.

I, an HBV patient, hereby state once for all, that all I am doing in the sections below is to try to share my treatment experience with fellow HBV patients, with no intention whatsover to promote or demote, encourage or discourage, anything.  I am a patient, not a doctor, and none of my experience-sharing should be interpreted as anything more than experience-sharing.

This is the section that is hard to sell.  Just like the king who yelled, "What?  You want me to have sex once a month only?  I am the KING!  What do I do with all my wives and concubines?", I can almost hear yells from my fellow HBVers, "What?  I can't eat this and I can't eat that?  What joy of life is there left?"  Well, that is why I said in the beginning that "it clearly is not for everyone."  Let me continue my sharing anyway for completion's sake.  At least the joy of life left is a life without chronic diseases.

Do not eat:

1.  No smoking, causes lung cancer;
2.  No drinking alcohol, damages liver;
3.  No drinking tea, causes diabetes and high blood pressure;
4.  Rice, sticky rice, wheat, causes diabetes;
5.  Fat, causes hyperlipemia/hyperlipoidemia;
6.  Bean curd, damages liver and kidney via the chemicals used to make bean curd, e.g. magnesium chloride;
7.  Noodles, fried products, whose production involves use of white vitriol;
8.  Sea plants and animals, seas and oceans are rich with many heavy metalic elements which go into sea plants and animals and when consumed go into and stay in our body to damage our liver and kidney.

Instead, eat: millet, yellow rice, barley, buckwheat, corn, broomcorn, highland barley, soybean, green soy bean, horsebean, mung bean, small red bean, pea, potato, sweet potato, yam, chestnut, water caltrop, pignut, sesame, etc. all of which do not make us sick as easily.

Now that the history was related, it is easier to explain things:

1.  Drinking the appetizing soup is part of the healthy way of living.  The goal is to trigger a strong sense of hunger, a strong ability for the body to absorb nutrition and a strong ability for the clearing cells of the body to eat up the waste materials in the body.  How did Court Doctor Liu know what ingrediants worked and how much?  By testing and retesting using the prisoners as subjects.  You may think how inhuman it was by today's standards.  Well, in those days the king owned all and could do whatever he desired with the life of everyone else.  At least at the completion of their experiments, the prisoners, most of them nobilities themselves before becoming prinsoners, if they were still alive, were allowed to leave the death prison and settle down in a special region and live there for the rest of their lives.

2.  Fish and beef soup, slow-cooked for 12 hours, is also part of the healthy way of living.  The goal is to make the nutriants more easily absorbable by the body and to cook away much of the toxins in the fish and beef.  For us HBVers it kills two birds with one stone: our liver is weak therefore we need more nutrients to activitate more of the liver cells; our liver is weak therefore it could use some help detoxifying what we put into our body.

Court Doctor Liu was against treatments that cured the diseases but at the same time made the patient weaker or even die.  To him a treatment was a success only if it was helping the patient become stronger at the same time it was curing the patient.  That is why he divided the 8000 some herbs into 4 categories, the acute poisonous ones, the slow poinsonous ones, the noneffective ones, and the 114 usable ones and his treatments only involved selections from the 114 herbs.  That is why his 24th generation grandson today is openly against the use of radiation/chemo-therapy on cancer patients and openly against the use of chemicals on HBV patients.  In his opinion, at the same time the antiviral drugs that we take are controlling the viral replication, because often times we have to take the drugs with no end in sight, they are also slowly poisoning us which is the last thing we need with our weak liver.  That is why, to him, the Western ways of treating HBV have such low HBV clearing percentage, hardly higher than random natural clearing percentage.  What he promotes is the change of life style to that of healthy life style so that the patient gets stronger and stronger and the stronger enviroment in our body makes it more and more difficult for the virus to survive inside us until it eventually is cleared.

The appetizing soup for patients with Hepatitis consists of 4 ingredients: one dried fruit and the rest three are either tree barks or herbs the details of which I have no idea.  You sink the indegiants in cold water for 30 minutes, pull off the water, refill with 1000ml clean water, boil them in a glass utensil with big fire till boiling, then boil them with small fire for 30 minutes, pull out the liquid into a glass bottle, fill the utensil again with 1000ml water, boil them with big fire till boiling, then boil them with small fire for 30 minutes, pull out the liquid into the glass bottle to mix with the earlier liquid.  You get about 1500ml appetizing soup for a day's use.  Finish the soup in one day, do not drink the soup that is longer than 24 hours.

As for the rationale for the appetizing soup, it takes a little going back in history:  600-700 years ago, the 24th great-great-great...grand-grand-grand...grandfather of the promoter was a court doctor serving the king and other nobilities.  Court doctors then had two characteristics: 1. they were really good doctors otherwise they would not be recommended to serve the king; 2. they were rich and high class but they lived with a sword hanging above their head: when the king and nobilities were sick and their services were used, regardless of the disease the patients had to be cured with no pain no discomfort etc., otherwise, easily the court doctor could be severely punished, not only would the court doctor be beheaded or executed in other cruel ways but all his relatives 3 generations vertically and 3 generations horizontally would be thrown into the death prison waiting to be killed.  Unfortunately or fortunately almost the same misfortune happened to the promoter's ancestor...

This ancestor, named Court Doctor Liu, was not only a court doctor, he was also the cousin of one of the king's concubines.  You may ask: the king had hundreds if not thousands of concubines, so what?  Well, Court Doctor Liu's cousin happened to be the most beautiful most preferred of concubines at the time.  Unfortunately, the concubine developed breast cancer and Court Doctor Liu was ordered by the king to treat his cousin.  Despite the fact that Court Doctor Liu was able to prolong the life of his cousin, the concubine eventually passed away.  In deep sadness and misery, the king for sure would have ordered the beheading of Court Doctor Liu and the death of all his relatives 3 generations vertical and 3 generations horizontal if it were not for the fact that before passing away the concubine cousin begged and obtained the forgiveness promise from the king that Court Doctor Liu and family would not be punished.  Instead, his official hat was removed and he was ordered to figure out how to cure breast cancer and other diseases by using the thousands of death inmates in the death prison.  He was also given 200 lower rank doctors and all the materials needed for his experiments.  The rest of Court Doctor Liu's life, 68 years to be exact, was all devoted to his experiments using prisoners instead of mice as subjects.  Court Doctor Liu according to Chinese Medical Tradition divided all diseases into 16 groups and figured out a treatment for each.  For example, Hepatitis B belonged to the group of diseases including cirrohsis, summer heat, malaria, VD and other sexcually transmitted diseases.  Even though they have found cures for the 16 groups of diseases Court Doctor Liu and his team realized that the safest treatment for the court doctors is to get the king and the nobilities not to be sick at all so that their services were never called for, because their patients for whatever reason, cured or not cured, could have them beheaded.  That is why much of the 68 years of experimenting was also devoted to finding a healthy way of living that will keep diseases at a distance.  When they found this healthy way of living and happily ran to report it to the king and the nobilities, can you guess the response from the king and the nobilities?  Yes, just look at today's HBVers and you know:  "What? You want us not to eat lobsters and crabs?  But they are so delicious!?"  "What?  You want me to have sex once a month only?  I am the KING!  What do I do with all my wives and concubines?"  Realizing how impossible it was to change the habits of others, the disappointed court doctor gave up.  Instead, the court doctor practiced the healthy living himself which was the reason he lived to the age of 126.  He also passed on his experiment results to his family which now is over ten thousand in number.

According to the promoter of this treatment,  human bodies are less likely to get sick if we eat foods like oatmeal, yam, potato, corn, peanuts, etc. but are more likely to get sick if we eat fine grain, wheat bread, finely processed foods, etc.

1.  Human body needs animal protein;
2.  Animal meat contains much fat;
3.  The way we eat meat makes a big difference: if we eat it as chunks, we absorb only 30%, the rest become feces waiting in the colon; if we slow-cook it for 12 hours, it is very easy to peel off the fatty oil on top and we absorb 85% of the nutrients;
4.  Plant protein cannot replace animal protein;
5.  Different meats service different purpose, for patients with HVB, we need potable fish and lean beef.

Before the item by item explanation, two crucial concepts must be explained so that we are all on the same wave length: toxicity and nutrition.

Toxicity:  in our context it does not just mean poison and alcohol, it means everything that once absorbed hurts our body and makes us sick, often not in the acute sense but in the chronic long-term sense, things that we put in our mouth, things that go into the things that we put in our mouth, things that our body tries to get rid of but get reabsorbed to hurt us, etc.  Related to toxicity is detoxification: how the toxic elements that are in our body are gotten rid of.

Nutrition:  in our context it does not mean the things that have impressive label lists of nutrition, it means what is actually absorbed by our body rather than simply passing through our body, making our body a feces generator.

At the antiviral drugs.
--They only limit the replication of virus, they don't clear the virus.
--They are associated with resistance, flare, toxicity, and cost.
--They are chemicals.  Like all chemicals, at the same time they solve a problem, they also create problems, e.g. When patient has high blood pressure, he is given beta-blocker which causes elevation of cholesterol and triglyceride, he then is given lipitor which causes muscle pains, he then is given pain killers which cause constipation, he then has to be given laxative, etc. etc.  The patient takes more and more drugs yet more and more symptoms show up.

At the other approach.
--It lacks random, multi-center data back.
--It is too slow.
--It makes too many demands on the patient, e.g. eat certain foods, not eat certain foods, cook them in certain ways, drink certain amount and kind of liquid, have controlled sex life, prepare and drink certain kinds of herbs, live certain life style, think certain thoughts, treat feet in certain ways before going to bed, do certain exercises, do certain things to your colon, etc. etc.  Have these frightened off all of you yet?

To understand why I do what I do, it is helpful to explain the philosophy behind the treatment by comparing it against, say, the Western antiviral treatment philosophy.

The antiviral treatment aims at blocking the replication process of the virus thereby controlling the progression of the disease.

This other treatment that I have been trying aims at adjusting the body status of the patient so that gradually the environment is less and less fitting for the survival of the virus in the body.

The virus-focusing approach has the eye on the virus.

The other approach emphasizes that the patient has to be made stronger before any treatment has a chance to work.
