尿溝非洲胡椒可改運?曾焯文博士譯

根據尼日利亞草藥靈修指引(註一),尿溝非洲山草可改善人緣 ,方法是將尿放入沐浴水中,加七粒鱷魚胡椒子(alligator pepper seed),加海鹽,然後祈願。同人交談前,用來沖涼,必然歡喜和諧。此法亦可用來追債,媾返舊愛,清洗衰運,促進生意興隆等等。   現代科學證明鱷魚胡椒子有藥用療效。二零二一年,一群尼日利亞Adekunle Ajasin大學的研究人員與國家生物技術發展局(NABDA)及Abuja and Afe Babalola大學合作,研發出一種草藥配方,配方以鱷魚胡椒子為本,可以預防醫治「新官病」(註二)。另一鱷魚胡椒子製的壯陽劑亦已獲得美國專利(US Patent 5879682),有效解決勃起功能障礙,延遲射精。 (註三) Article link: https://www.hongkongurinetherapy.com/%e5%b0%bf%e6%ba%9d%e9%9d%9e%e6%b4%b2%e8%83%a1%e6%a4%92%e5%8f%af%e6%94%b9%e9%81%8b%ef%bc%9f%e6%9b%be%e7%84%af%e6%96%87%e5%8d%9a%e5%a3%ab%e8%ad%af/      + 註: 一. https://www.facebook.com/Emmyherbal/posts/pfbid09gM5R5cRwqydiQE2Kz5QrVXj896TA5YhFjBdH1kayTeyxgFmTkp6S2rpAx9vpFdMl 二. https://guardian.ng/features/health/alligator-pepper-based-cure-for-covid-19/ 三. https://guardian.ng/sunday-magazine/living-wellbeing/herbal-cures-for-inflammation-sexual-dysfunction/

Buddha Prescribes Fermented Urine Medicine (Urine Therapy). By Dr. Chapman Chen

In various Buddhist sutras, Buddha upholds fermented urine medicine (Pali: pūti-mutta-bhesajja) or urine therapy as one of the four major supports/resources of a bhikkhu's life. For example, Buddha would prescribe fermented urine to bhikkhus bitten by a poisonous snake or suffering from jaundice. Buddha even suggested that aged urine be drunk with yellow myrobalan or Terminalia Chebula.  
  1. What does pūti-mutta-bhesajja Mean?
According to The Pali Text Society's Pali-English dictionary, pūti means "putrid, stinking, rotten, fetid". (Note 1) According to the same dictionary as above, mutta means urine and bhesajia means "a remedy, medicament, medicine". (Note 2) However, modern scholars in Buddhism, e.g., Khematto Bhikkhu, Bhikkhu Sujato, Buddha-Vacana Org., interpret pūti-mutta-bhesajja as fermented urine medicine, and Robert Thurman interprets it as aged urine medicine.  
  1. Fermented Urine Medicine as Support
Buddha often stated that fermented urine medicine is a major requisite of a Bhikkhu's life: "Going-Forth has fermented urine medicine as its support. For the rest of your life you are to endeavor at that. The extra allowances are: ghee, fresh butter, oil, honey, sugar."   (Cattāro Nissayā [The Four Supports],  mahākhandhako,  The Mahāvagga, the fourth book of the Vinaya Piṭaka [The Basket of Discipline], trans. Khematto Bhikkhu) (Note 3) " Fermented urine, bhikkhus, is a very little thing among medicines, easy to get and blameless" (AN 4.27,The Book of Fours, trans. Buddha-Vacana) (Note 4) "He is told about his four resources, alms, rag- robes, dwelling at the foot of a tree (i.e., homelessness), and aged urine for medicine." (Robert Thurman, “The Vinaya Discipline of Buddhist Monasticism”, a talk given at Amherst College, 1982) (Note 5)  
  1. Fermented Urine for Treating Jaundice and Snake Bite
"Now on that occasion a certain monk had jaundice. They reported the matter to the Blessed One. 'I allow that urine and yellow myrobalan be drunk.'” (160. pañcabhesajjakathā [Mv.VI.1.1], VI bhesajjakkhandhako, Mahāvagga, trans. Khematto Bhikkhu ) (Note 6)   Buddha: "Suppose there was some fermented urine mixed with different medicines. Then a man with jaundice would come along. They’d say to him: ‘Here, mister, this is fermented urine mixed with different medicines. Drink it if you like. If you drink it, the color, aroma, and flavor will be unappetizing, but after drinking it you will be happy.’ He wouldn’t reject it. After appraisal, he’d drink it. The color, aroma, and flavor would be unappetizing, but after drinking it he would be happy. This is comparable to the way of taking up practices that is painful now and results in future pleasure, I say." (The Great Discourse on Taking Up Practices, Middle Discourses 46, Mahādhammasamādānasutta, trans. Bhikkhu Sujato) (Note 7) "On one occasion a certain monk was bitten by a snake. 'I allow you to give him the four filthy edibles: feces, urine, ash, and clay.' [said Buddha]" (The chapter on medicines, The Long Division, Theravāda Collection on Monastic Law, Bhesajjakkhandhaka, trans. Bhikkhu Brahmali) (Note 8)   Disclaimer: This article provides educational information rather than medical advice. Consult a medical expert if you have health problems.

斷食尿療  By “We See the Ligh [sic]”  曾焯文博士譯

飲食最重要,我基本純素,多食生果,當我凈係食生果,我啲尿尚好味過樽裝水。 如果想飲舊尿,請溝埋鮮尿,我就九成半新鮮尿溝半成舊尿。 舊尿非常適合蠹寄生蟲,但是如果太杰,我的身體會頂不順,這就是為何我要用鮮尿來溝淡舊尿。 如果真的想自己的健康起飛,請試下斷食,甚麼都不食,只係一味不斷循環飲返自己的鮮尿,啲尿會變得越來越清,一段時間之後,啲尿會好味道到你欲罷不能! 十二個鐘、廿四個鐘、四十八個鐘、七十二個鐘,你頂得幾耐就幾耐。我從十二個鐘開始,年來升到七十二個鐘。 尿係世上最好的排毒劑。

佛祖教人飲陳尿藥  曾焯文博士著

根據十誦律、四分律、得法大經、摩訶僧祇律等佛經的各種漢譯本,佛祖教比丘病時服陳棄藥/腐爛藥/腐尿水,名稱頗為恐怖,險些令人思疑佛祖有心靠害弟子。查實陳棄藥/腐爛藥/腐尿水巴利文原作pūti-mutta-bhesajja,直譯臭尿藥,現代佛學家Khematto Bhikkhu、阿姜蘇嘉多禪師、Buddha-Vacana Org. 均詮釋為fermented urine medicine(醱酵尿藥),Robert Thurman則詮釋為陳舊尿藥。新舊譯共通之處在於陳舊的尿會發酵,產生餲(aat3)味,相當攻鼻,但可當藥用。換言之,二千五百年前,佛祖經已教授尿療法。(未完待續)   LINK: https://www.hongkongurinetherapy.com/%e4%bd%9b%e7%a5%96%e6%95%99%e4%ba%ba%e9%a3%b2%e9%99%b3%e5%b0%bf%e8%97%a5-%e6%9b%be%e7%84%af%e6%96%87%e5%8d%9a%e5%a3%ab%e8%91%97/ !

如何用尿療法改善睡眠質素? Andrew Marsh原著. 曾焯文博士譯介

  美國健康資訊頻道創辦人Andrew Marsh(二零一八)話尿療法有助解決失眠問題。   首先,要多曬太陽,早睡早起,曬太陽最好時間係日出到朝頭早十點。陽光裏頭的紫外光同紅內線可以促進人體生產褪黑激素(Melatonin)。曬太陽時勿帶任何眼鏡,包括近視老花鏡、黑超同隱形眼鏡;亦都唔好搽太陽油防曬膏,否則會擋住紫外光;此外,千祈勿直接望太陽,否則可能盲眼。   第二,褪黑激素乃係睡眠荷爾蒙,經尿排出。飲尿就可以回收褪黑激素入血。朝頭早曬了太陽,經過一日時間,身體生產不少退黑激素,晚黑睡前飲二到六安士新鮮尿,就可以迅速入睡,一覺瞓到大天光!   Picture1 credit: Stefania Ferrario Facebook Picture2 credit: Andrew Marsh, Drue Fit.

Jesus Recommends Urine Therapy! Go Vegan! By Dr. Chapman Chen

 
  1. Introduction: In John 7:38 (KJV), Jesus said, "He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." Here, Jesus was echoing his ancestor King Solomon's advice, "Drink water from your own cistern, running water from your own well" (Proverb 5:15 NIV) (Note 1). Now, what else but urine would flow out of your belly as a kind of living liquid? [As advised by Australian nutrition consultant Martha Christ (1996), to achieve the best result, urine therapy had better be combined with veganism (Note 2).]
 
  1. Urine Contains Life
  According to researches done by world renowned scientists, urine is a blood byproduct:- "Urine...one of the most complex of all body fluids... contains practically all of the constituents found in the blood." (Free and Free 1975) (Note 3). "Urine is considered to be produced predominantly as a result of plasma filtration in the kidney" (Magalhães et. al. 2018),  (Note 4). As urine is a spin-off of the blood, it contains life. "the life of the flesh is in the blood" (Leviticus 17:11 ESV). "for the blood is the life, and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh" (Deuteronomy 12: 23 KJV). Urine as a collateral product of the blood is living water as Jesus Himself emphasized.    
  1. Spiritual vs Physical
  The author of John went on to remark that by "living water" Jesus "meant the Spirit" (John 7:39 NIV).   Note that whenever Jesus discussed something spiritual, He invariably illustrated it with something material or actual (cf. Eden Natural Juice 2015) (Note 5). For example, in Matthew 7: 24-25, Jesus compared spiritual rock (His teachings) to real rock; in John 6:48-51, spiritual bread (His Christhood) to genuine bread; in Matthew 13:31-32, the divine Kingdom of Heaven to an earthly mustard seed. And now, in John 7:37-39, Jesus compared the Holy Spirit to physical urine flowing out of the belly. Just as the "living [urine] from the belly gives life and healing to the body, the Holy Spirit gives life and healing to the soul," to quote Eden Natural Juice (2015).    
  1. Urine is indeed our bodily living water
  According to American natural therapist cum chiropractic Dr. Edward Group (2021) (Note 6), doctors and researchers have proven that human urine is an enormous source of over 2,500 vital nutrients, vitamins, hormones, enzymes and critical antibodies that cannot be duplicated or derived from any other source as well as up to six unidentified compounds not yet known to man. These vital substances include, e.g., Adrenaline, antibodies, Biotin, Copper, Dopamine, Estrogen, hormones, Insulin, Iodine, Calcium, Magnesium, Stem Cells, proteins, Potassium, Melatonin, Nitrogen, Serotonin, Selenium, Testosterone, Urea, Vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, E, K, Zinc, Riboflavin....    
  1. Urine Therapy has a History of 5000 Years!
  Urine therapy has a history of five thousand years since ancient Rome, Greece, Egypt, India, China and more. According to Dr. Edward Group (2021), it has been used to successfully treat cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, depression, diabetes, skin ailments, indigestion, constipation, kidney failure, insomnia, toothache, psoriasis, hair loss, chronic fatigue, cataracts, AIDS, arthritis, allergies, autoimmune diseases, asthma, infertility, menopause, infections, poisoning and wounds, osteoporosis, respiratory issues, cramps, you name it!

HKBNews Article Link: https://www.hkbnews.net/post/jesus-recommends-urine-therapy-by-chapman-chen-hkbnews      Amen!   Notes
  1. Admittedly, in view of its context, some commentators opine that "Drink water from your own cistern" means that one should make love to one's wife only. Nonetheless, in the Bible, one signifier could stand for more than one signified, so that "drink water from your own cistern" can refer to "have sex with your own wife only" as well as "drink your own organic urine".

黃秋生飲尿醫內傷!作者:曾焯文博士

在人肉叉燒包裏面,黃秋生入監被人打到內傷,跟住向廁所見到個同情佢的囚犯屙緊尿,就問個犯攞杯尿飲,個犯問秋生做乜飲尿,係唔係畀人打到痴卵咗?秋生答話本草綱目寫明飲尿可以醫內傷。  

秋生所言不虛,中原古醫書真的有記載尿療法:  

 

明李時珍《本草綱目》:尿,從尸從水,會意也。方家謂之輪回酒、還元湯,隱語也。氣味鹹,寒,無毒。主治寒熱頭痛,溫氣。童男者尤良(《別錄》)。主久嗽上氣失聲,及症積滿腹(蘇恭)。明目益聲,潤肌膚,利大腸,推陳致新,去咳嗽肺痿,鬼氣 病。停久者,服之佳。恐冷,則和熱湯服(藏器)。止勞渴,潤心肺,療血悶熱狂,撲損,瘀血在內運絕,止吐血鼻衄,皮膚皴裂,難產,胎衣不下,蛇犬咬(大明)。滋陰降火甚速(震亨)。殺蟲解毒,療瘧中。    

 

清朝汪昂《本草備要》云:「童便,鹹寒,能引肺火下行,從膀胱出,乃其舊路,降火滋陰甚速,潤肺散瘀,治肺痿失音,吐損傷,胞胎不下,凡產後血暈,敗血入肺,陰虛久嗽,火蒸如燎者,惟此可以治之,取十二歲以下童子,不食暈腥酸鹹者佳,去頭尾取中間一節清澈如水者用,當熱飲,熱則真氣尚存,其行至速,冷則惟有鹹寒之性,入薑汁韭汁更好,冬月用湯溫之。」  

 

唐朝孫思邈《千金翼方》:「人溺,療寒熱頭疼溫氣,童男者尤良,溺白泥土,療鼻湯火灼瘡,東向圊廁中青泥土,療喉痺,消癰腫,若已有膿即潰。」

 

《八仙飯店之人肉叉燒飽》(英語:The Untold Story)1993年上映的香港三級驚慄電影,邱禮濤執導,李修賢監製,李修賢、黃秋生、關寶慧、劉兆銘、成奎安等主演。電影改編自八仙飯店滅門案及鰂魚涌福昌樓殺人放火案。本片香港票房超過港元一千五百萬,男主角黃秋生憑本作榮獲第十三屆香港電影金像獎最佳男主角。

注射干擾素之照護

注射干擾素之照護

  1. 干擾素是一種蛋白質,它是人體內對抗病毒入侵的最快反應部隊,當體內干擾素製造不足時,會增加疾病感染的嚴重性。
  2. 干擾素的作用:具免疫調節功能及抗病毒作用,可治療慢性骨髓性白血病、淋巴瘤、多發性骨髓瘤、腎細胞癌、慢性肝炎及卡波西氏肉瘤。
  3. 干擾素的副作用:可能會發生類似感冒的症狀,最常見的反應為虛弱、發燒及寒顫,另有肌肉骨骼及關節疼痛、噁心嘔吐或食慾不振情形,一般停藥72小時後會消失。
  4. 干擾素注射的注意事項:
    1. 採皮下注射,注射部位需輪換,注射後加壓即可,不必搓揉。
    2. 藥物一般貯存於冰箱冷藏室(攝氏2-8℃),開瓶後必須24小時內使用完畢。
    3. 如有類似感冒症狀,可依醫囑服用解熱鎮痛劑來改善發燒、肌肉酸痛等症狀,且應盡量多喝水休息。
    4. 如有高燒不退,請立即返診。

干擾素 (Interferons) 在癌症治療上的應用

干擾素 (Interferons) 在癌症治療上的應用

干擾素

干擾素(Interferons, 簡稱IFN)是1957年由英國Alick Isaacs和Jean Lindenmann兩位研究人員所發現,當細胞受到病毒感染時,會立即製造出干擾素以抵抗病毒,並同時警告鄰近正常的細胞,提高警覺,以防病毒入侵。綜合過去近40年的研發,我們知道,干擾素除了抗病毒外,還有抑制癌細胞生長、促進細胞分化和增強免疫力的功能,但是干擾素在人體的含量極低,又無適當的製造方式,因而限制了臨床應用的價值。直到最近,生物技術的突飛猛進,干擾素才得以量產而廣泛地應用於醫療上。干擾素目前主要可分三大類﹕IFN-α, IFN-β,IFN-γ,其中IFN-α在體內半衰期長達4-16小時,也是所有干擾素中,最常使用的。其投藥方式為肌肉或皮下注射。

適應症

IFN-α目前經美、英、日、德等先進國家核准的適應症包括:(1)病毒所引起的疾病﹕例如,慢性B型肝炎、慢性C型肝炎、菜花(尖頭濕疣)、愛滋病患常見的卡波西氏肉瘤(Kaposi's sarcoma)等。(2)血液疾病﹕例如,毛狀細胞白血病慢性骨髓性白血病、多發性骨髓瘤、低度非何杰金氐淋巴瘤等。(3)其它腫瘤﹕例如,黑色素瘤(Melanoma)、腎細胞癌、基底細胞癌等。 在台灣目前已獲全民健保給付的疾病有﹕毛狀細胞白血病、慢性骨髓性白血病、多發性骨髓瘤、以及使用傳統療法無效之T細胞淋巴瘤等。

作用機轉

對IFN-α的生物活性及作用機轉的研究,目前正持續進行中。目前已知的作用包括﹕1)抑制病毒的複製增生。2)增強免疫細胞對癌細胞及受病毒感染細胞的殺傷力。3)刺激癌細胞及病毒感染細胞表現第一類不相容抗原於細胞表面,使這些細胞易於讓免疫細胞辨認而被消滅。4)抑制癌細胞核酸和蛋白質的合成,使細胞生長停滯。5)IFN-*可影響約40種和癌症生成有關基因的表達。

臨床應用

干擾素對癌症的治療作用與一般化療不同,它不是直接殺害癌細胞,而是以調節人體內多種系統來對抗癌細胞,因而它的作用較緩慢。在臨床應用方面通常需要一至三個月才能有明顯的療效,也需要較長期的使用,始能達到理想的效果。 以慢性骨髓性白血病(CML)的治療為例,雖然化療劑Hydroxyurea或Busulphan可以有效地控制症狀與白血球數,但對病患的存活期影響不大,異體骨髓移植可以治癒某些病人,但只有部份病人能接受異體骨髓移植。而IFN-α可經由調節並改變CML惡性細胞的特性,使得10-25%的病患達到長期的緩解。依美國MD Anderson醫學中心的建議,劑量為5MU/m2/Day或病患可容忍的最大劑量。當白血球被控制在2000到6000/ul時,可達到最佳的療效。最近的報告更指出,以Ara-c加上IFN-α治療療效可以更好。 對晚期的低度非何杰金氏淋巴瘤,以IFN-α作維持治療或在療程中加入IFN-α的多個臨床試驗,都顯示IFN-α的加入,可延長病患的緩解期(也就是病情受到控制的情形)1-2年。其中法國Dr. Solal-Celigny的試驗,更顯示以IFN-α與CHVP(一種化學療法)併用18個月,可延長存活期達22個月之多。因而歐洲及最近的美國藥物食品檢驗局都已核准Intron A(IFN-α的一個廠牌)用於治療晚期的低惡性度非何杰金氏淋巴瘤。 IFN-α在實體腫瘤之治療方面,也有成功的例子。例如,黑色素瘤手術後的輔助治療,以IFN-α治療一年,可明顯地增加了病患的存活期約一年。因而在1996年獲得美國藥物食品檢驗局 核准用於黑色素瘤的術後治療。對於消化道的類癌( Carcinoid tumor),IFN-α也能有效改善病患的症狀,並使部份病患的腫瘤消退。 日本Dr. Nishiguchi於1995年在Lancet雜誌的報告指出,以IFN-α治療輕微肝硬化的C型肝炎病患,經過2-7年的追蹤後,發現肝癌發生的比例明顯地下降約9倍。

副作用及處理

IFN-α引起的早期副作用,主要為"類流行性感冒徵候群"。例如:發燒、發冷、肌肉骨骼酸痛、失眠、食慾不振、體重減輕與疲累,可於注射前先服用解熱鎮痛劑來改善症狀。通常這些早期副作用,由於身體漸漸習慣,會在治療1-2星期內消失。病患可以多喝水、多休息、熱敷、按摩及做一些體操來放鬆肌肉的壓力。若有食慾不振,則可少量多餐、吃些薄荷或酸性的糖果來改善胃口。後期的副作用,以精神憂鬱的症狀比較值得注意,必要時在睡前服用抗憂鬱劑即可改善。此外,治療期應要注意白血球數的變化。若太低,則需調整劑量。

未來的發展

總之,干擾素具有抗病毒、抗腫瘤和調節免疫系統功能。這些功能目前已經成功地運用於臨床治療上。此外,由於IFN-α可調節許多基因的表現,改變細胞的特性,未來可以嘗試以IFN-α來增進其他治療劑的療效,或以其他治療劑來增進IFN-α的作用。我們期待經由對干擾素作用機轉的進一步了解,能發展出更有效的IFN-α合併治療組合,來應用於更多的癌症治療。
