The Last Secret of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Lin Xiaoyang graduated from medical school only to find himself unemployed, then was assigned as an apprentice at a township clinic.
The veteran doctor Zhang Dehou did not teach him how to take a pulse. He first told him to "air out the books."
Trouble struck on the very first day. An auntie with stomach pain had tried every Western medicine without success. Zhang Dehou said only, "The stove in your kitchen is in the wrong place." An infant cried every night, and the experts were at a loss. Zhang Dehou simply said, "Move the bed to the southeast corner."
This wasn't mysticism. It was the lost "human habitat (feng shui) medicine" from The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon!
Even more shocking, Lin Xiaoyang's late grandfather had been an heir to this craft, and left behind a mysterious medical text.
His father hated it, calling it superstition. But Zhang Dehou told him, "Traditional Chinese medicine adjusts the body; geography adjusts the mind. When the small environment is out of balance, use medicine. When the larger environment is out of balance, it can cost you your life."
From then on, this young doctor embarked on a strange path in medicine, with classical prescriptions in one hand and a compass in the other, treating bodies and adjusting the feng shui of homes.
From the townships to the cities, from common ailments to baffling diseases, from being cursed as a "charlatan" to earning renown throughout the medical world.
A true story of growth, revealing the last secret of traditional Chinese medicine!
