Today a young man came to me with his wife. A couple of months ago he brought
his mom to me, too. He thanked to me with a praise in front of his wife so that he
was proud of his choosing the best doctor.
Of course, I could recognize him but could not remember what was his chief
complaints.
He told " Oh my sir, I am very comfort because you have treated me
completely then and till now I am perfect!"
I knodded "Oh really? It is very good. It is really owing to your moderating drinking
and dieting."
"Oh, please don't be in humility, sir. Only owing to your prescriptions."
Later, I confirmed his chief complaints in the file and I knew it was what I was
looking for to record the case because some people asked about the premonitary
symptoms of cerebral stroke.
His complaint was that he surely felt his left face and right arm and leg are short
of energy than those of right. However he looked as normal and the examination
photos showed also good.
I judged then that his symptom was not coming from the structure of vessels and
muscles but from the brain - central brain - though photos showed good.
What happened in the central brain?

5. Pathology
Big liver and congestive liver makes the fever on the face.
Weakness of kidney and lung produces lots of humidity.
Big digestive organ also makes lots of humidity,
This composition makes lots of humidity in the face and brain.
Judging from his symptoms, the humidity is merged around central brain
but not to proceed as pathlogic yet. If he would not be treated immediately,
he might be stroked in a few months.
Fortunately, he came to with his friend who took him to East Asian Medicine
clinic when it is a correct choice if the symptoms are under such as situation.

The important thing of this case is not the treatment but the preventive
mind of young man. Usually young persons are tended to save their money for
enliving but to spend for thwarting living. However he choose a wise way to keep
his life. If he did not, he should surely be a disable person now. He was really lucky!
