The ancients divided diabetes (diabetes) into three types: upper elimination, middle elimination, and lower elimination. Zhongxiao refers to Zhongjiao spleen and stomach type diabetes caused by improper diet, and Xixiao refers to diabetes caused by sexual intercourse and indulgence. This type of diabetes is particularly common in today's clinical practice.

The first characteristic of this type of diabetes is coldness in the lower limbs. Ye Tianshi, a famous medical doctor in the Qing Dynasty, said, "When a man grows old, he loses money first." That is to say, a man's aging starts from the lower body, that is, the liver, kidneys, waist and legs. Symptoms of this type of diabetic patients include weakness in the lower limbs, cold feet, frequent urination, and a sallow complexion. These are all symptoms of insufficient kidney qi. In life, they also control their diet and take care of themselves, but they do not exercise restraint in sexual intercourse. If you want to cure and control this kind of diabetes, you must exercise restraint in sexual intercourse. According to the teachings of ancient doctors, abstinence is required for at least one to two years to preserve kidney energy. However, some patients mainly seek medical treatment for two reasons: one is to treat diabetes, and the other is to treat impotence.

Impotence is actually a kind of self-protection of the body when a person's kidney qi is insufficient. Traditional Chinese medicine advocates that people should follow nature, which is a natural health care method. I met a diabetic patient who had been ill for ten years and had a history of indulgence, and then he developed impotence. This was actually a signal from his body to him, asking him to refrain from sexual intercourse, but he asked me to treat his impotence. This is actually The above is to do things that go against heaven and die. I told him that if he wanted to cure this disease, he had to abstain from sexual intercourse, otherwise it would not be cured.

He didn't listen to my advice. He said that you should enjoy yourself to the fullest in life, and don't let the golden bottle stand in the sky against the moon. He didn't know that while he was enjoying himself, he was also jumping into a pit of fire. The patient said: Doctor Peng, it would be harder for you to make me abstain from sexual intercourse than to kill me. I say that what you are doing now is against nature, and the laws of nature will restrain you and educate you. I told him that in his case, after half a year, his feet would not only feel cold, but would also become numb and numb. If he continued to refrain from sexual intercourse, in another six months, the local blood circulation in his feet would deteriorate. Necrosis, the final outcome is amputation. He laughed it off and said: What does sex life have to do with diabetes? !

As a result, a year later, he called me and everything I said came true! If a diabetic has cold feet, numbness and numbness, it means that his yang energy has begun to withdraw. After half a year, the sensation in his feet became very dull. Even though his feet were on the ground, he felt as if there was a thick layer of sponge on them. This was a sign that Qi and blood could no longer pass through his feet. He said that he now has no feeling in the middle toe and ring toe of his foot, and they are starting to turn black.

After he went to the hospital for a check-up, the hospital doctor told him that this was called diabetic gangrene, and the ultimate treatment was amputation. I told him on the phone that there are many types of gangrene, some caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, and some caused by kidney deficiency. Gangrene with kidney deficiency is impossible to cure because you have exhausted your body too much in the past. When he started to suffer from impotence a year ago, it was actually his body that gave him a warning. However, he did not listen. Instead, he took some aphrodisiacs and drank so-called aphrodisiac wine, which depleted his yang energy even more. In the end, the man had to have his penis cut off. Two toes.
