5. Pathology
Thyroidsim means that lung and heart are weak. For easy
understanding let me take an example. When we drive a car
on steep slope, we have to push the accelerate pedal. As the
result of the overwork, we will see the heat of engine.
Hyperthyroidism is the heat of engine - the fever of heart and
liver. In the process of fever, the thyroid hormon is discharged
more than normal condition as the fuel is consumpted more.
This means that the basic cause of hyperthyroidism is not
the hormon overdischarg but the weakness of heart and lung.
So, the longer hormon treatment last, the weaker lung and heart.

Updated as of 2009 Nov. 18 , a call from her mom)
The examination report of hyperthyroidism is good. The westen
medicine doctor said that she didn't need to take the hormon
tablets anymore.(The doctor did not know that she got eastern
medicine treatment.) Also he didn't say about why the
hyerthyroidism had gone suddenly after 4 years of treatment.
Her mother thanked to me. "The grand hospital has treated her for
4 years but the symptoms are worsened. However you, sir, have
her recovered completely only for 3 months. I think she need more
prescription for perfect future."
What makes her mother regret so? That is just the ignorance of
east asian medicine of western medicine doctors and medical
customers.
