FAMOUS CHINESE PHYSICIAN,
SUN SI MIAO ON
“WAYS TO MAINTAINING &
KEEPING GOODby Life!Clinic’s
HEALTH”
PART I
Physician Jia Hong Lu
There are many remarkable and famous physicians throughout the
Chinese civilisation of more than 5000 years. They include Hua Duo from
the Three Kingdom, Li Shi Zhen from the Ming Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty is the most prosperous / flourishing period of the Chinese
feudal society . Born in the Tang Dynasty, the famous physician, Sun Si
Miao, has a famous saying: “Human lives are very precious, more precious
than thousands of gold (⼈人命⾄至重,贵于千⾦金). Hence, if a physician could
save a human life, it is worth more than thousands of gold”. As such, Sun Si
Miao, who devoted his life to bringing benefits human lives, entitled his 2
books “Essential Formulas for Emergencies (Worth) a Thousand Pieces of
Gold - (千⾦金要⽅方 Qian Jin Yao Fang)” and "Supplement to the Formulas of a
Thousand Gold Worth - (千⾦金翼⽅方 Qian Jin Yi Fang)”.
Not only is Sun Si Miao a remarkable physician, he is also a Taoist Priest who
contributes significantly to Taoism. Sun Si Miao has been proclaimed as
Taoist immortal and King of Medicine. There are also Hall of King of
Medicine at many Taoist temples to commemorate Sun Si Miao.
INTRODUCTION TO SUN SI MIAO - THE WAY TO MAINTAINING AND KEEPING GOOD HEALTH
According to historical records, Sun Si Miao was born in 581(541) AD and died in 682 AD (a ripe old age of
between 101 - 141 years). It is only natural that people are curious of Sun Si Miao’s longevity. Sun Si Miao
came from a poor family. His parents farmed and weaved for a living. Sun Si Miao was a sickly child; his
parents spent almost all their resources on treating his illness. Suffering from poor health as a child had
made Sun Si Miao determined to be a physician when he grows up. Sun Si Miao’s longevity is due to his
advocation of healthy techniques / methods.
Sun Si Miao combined the good health maintenance path from Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism with
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory of health preservation.
There are still many feasible methods and techniques listed in his book, “Supplement to the Formulas of a
Thousand Gold Worth (千⾦金翼⽅方 Qian Jin Yi Fang)” that are still applicable to our modern society today.
Such as :
1. Maintain a balance healthy attitude, avoid aimless pursue of fame and wealth;
2. Refrain from excessive drinking and eating. Less meat more vegetable. More small meals.
3. Exercise to ensure good blood circulation. Eg. Flowing water does not rot; Constant activity prevents
decay.
4. Maintain a healthy and regular lifestyle. Avoid extravagant and sumptuous lifestyle.
!
5. Take good care of personal hygiene.
Sun Si Miao advocates that by following the above mentioned simple rules, longevity will follow suit.
STAY TUNED TO PART II OF THIS ARTICLE WHICH WILL INCLUDE THE “13 MEASURES TO KEEPING GOOD HEALTH”

TIPS ON HOW & WHAT TO EAT
FOR A BEAUTIFUL YOU
by Life!Clinic’s Physician Jean Ang
Unless you were born with perfect skin, tender
loving care is required to upkeep its condition and
prevent it from premature aging. Slapping and
piling on various expensive super-rich creams and
serums with “results-promising” claims will not
miraculously redeem the harm done to your skin if
no effort was made to maintain its well-being. I
strongly believe that beauty is from the inside out.
Did you know you could actually eat your way to a
more lustrous and healthier complexion? What, and
more importantly, how to eat then?

7 to 9 am: Breakfast
According to TCM, this period belongs to our Stomach Meridian. It is the best time for breakfast.
Unfortunately, it does not mean that you can consume whatever you relish. Breakfast is so termed
because it is the first thing we take in after at least six hours of abstaining from food, therefore whatever
goes in your mouth would be most absorbed by the stomach. Choose oily stuff for the first meal of the
day and you will soak up the maximum oil imaginable, and it will most likely be reflected outwardly on
your skin. Oil ignites fire and might cause you to suffer from bad breath, ulcers, cracked lips, oily T-zone
and scalp and even chronic acne problem. Cereal or whole grains are preferable, as they are easily
digestible and kinder to your digestive system.
!
9 to 11 am: No food. Just sips of lukewarm water
The Spleen Meridian governs this couple of hours. While your Spleen zang organ does its work of
converting breakfast into nutrient and sustenance for your body, it is not recommended that you put a
strain on it by wolfing down what was meant for 7 to 9 am. TCM theory also infers that the condition of
your skin reflects the state of your Spleen, so give it (and your Pancreas) a brief respite. Let your
complexion be rejuvenated and allow your cells to be hydrated by drinking sips of lukewarm water.
11 am to 1 pm: No hot and spicy
It is not recommended to “fire up” your Heart zang organ with hot and spicy food that “burns”. In
addition, it is not advisable to exercise during this period as qì and blood “fills” the Heart Meridian at
this time, risking the predicament of “blood not returning to the channels” when carrying out vigorous
activities.
Lunch from 1 to 3pm
The small intestine is a long and convoluted tube, part of the digestive system and it absorbs about
90% of the nutrient from the food you eat. In TCM, 1 to 3 pm is the Small intestines Meridian’s rule. In
general, lunch should be relatively more substantial and wholesome than dinner, but 70% full should
suffice. Less meat, more grains and vegetables.
!
If you are prone to water retention, refrain from gulping water from 9 to 11 pm
YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT, AND IN THIS CASE, HOW YOU EAT AS WELL. BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR BODY’S
WELLNESS AND IT WILL REWARD YOU WITH HEALTH AND GLOW ACCORDINGLY. TAKE HEART!

During menstruation, ensure area around the stomach is kept warm. If possible limit exposure to air
conditioning and avoid wearing shorts and mini skirts. Women are advised against sitting on cold floors. This
is because the direct contact between the body and cold floors allows cold air to penetrate the body
thus stagnate the energy channels on the joints; leading to poor blood circulation, spasm and contraction

ALL ABOUT HEALTH
THE LIFE!CLINIC BULLETIN . Volume 1 . September - November 2014
SLIP DISC BY DR HEE HWAN TAK
Slip or herniated disc is a condition whereby a
major portion of the disc extrudes beyond its
normal boundary, leading to physical compression
and chemical irritation of the nearby nerves. The
main complaints will be buttock pain “shooting”
down the affected leg, perhaps accompanied by
other symptoms e.g. numbness, “pins and
needles”, or rarely weakness.
!
In general, if a patient's leg pain due to herniated
disc is going to get better, it will do so in about six
weeks. As long as the pain is tolerable and the
patient can function adequately in his or her daily
chores, it is usually advisable to continue with nonsurgical treatment alone. Nonsurgical treatment
will consist of physiotherapy, acupuncture,
medications to relieve the inflammation, and
perhaps a brace.
!
If the leg pain does not get better with nonsurgical
treatment, then microdiscectomy (type of
minimally invasive spine surgery) is a reasonable
option to relieve pressure on the nerve root and
speed the healing process of the nerve. Immediate
spine surgery is only necessary in cases of bowel/
bladder incontinence or progressive nerve
damage, e.g. worsening and persistent numbness
and/or obvious weakness of the leg.
!
In most instances, a microdiscectomy is typically
recommended for patients who have:
•
Experienced leg pain with or without other leg
symptoms for at least six to eight weeks
•
Not found sufficient pain or symptom relief with
conservative treatment
After six to nine months of symptoms from the
herniated disc, the results of the spine surgery are
not quite as favorable. Therefore, it is not generally
advisable to postpone microdiscectomy surgery for
a prolonged period of time (more than six to nine
months), especially if the symptoms do not improve
by then.
In microdiscectomy, a small portion of the bone
over the nerve root and/or disc material from
under the nerve root is removed (laminotomy) to
relieve nerve compression and provide more room
for the nerve to heal. Microdiscectomy is
per formed with the aid of an operating
microscope, which enables illumination and
magnification of the structures being operated on,
290 Orchard Road #07-11/12
hence greatly increasing the safety of the surgery.
An improvement of this technique is
microendoscopic discectomy, where we use both
the microscope and the endoscope. The incision
using the microendoscopic technique is smaller
(approximately 2 cm), causing less trauma to the
surrounding tissue. A smaller incision allows for
reduced post-operative pain and a faster
recovery.
!
At the end of the surgery, we may apply adhesion
barrier to the exposed nerves. Adhesion barriers
coat surfaces that are exposed during the
decompression surgery, providing a temporary,
protective physical barrier that isolates the
exposed nerves from the surrounding tissues. These
barriers function by various mechanisms:
•
They can prevent adhesions from forming, so
that the nerve is not “stuck” to spinal structures
or compressed by scar tissues.
They can limit the exposure of nerves to
chemical irritants that are produced during
surgery.
Usually, this surgical procedure is performed with
one overnight stay in the hospital. Post-operatively,
patients may return to a normal level of daily
activity quickly. The patient is restricted from
bending, lifting, or twisting for the first eight weeks
following surgery. It is normal for a patient to
experience postoperative pain, such as back pain
and various leg symptoms. These symptoms will
usually improve as the nerve heals and
inflammation of the nerve decreases. Patients are
given pain medications, antibiotics, and vitamin B
during the healing process.
•
The success rate for microendoscopic discectomy
spine surgery is approximately 90% to 95%,
although 3% to 7% of patients may develop a
recurrent disc herniation at some point in the
future. This risk is usually higher in the first few
months, and hence the rationale for restricted
activity in the first 2 months, and gradual return to
sporting activities thereafter.
