| > 1.568854225353: Bad breath, bitter taste, sticky feeling in the mouth, dry throat, and the nose also smells bad, especially in the morning right after waking up when the mouth odor is particularly strong. Ordinary toothbrushing doesn’t help at all; you must rinse with salt water first, then with saline solution for the nose. Only after brushing the tongue with a toothbrush does the mouth feel comfortable, but the effect lasts at most an hour before the smell returns. I’ve also undergone some examinations, but no problems were found. This symptom has persisted for about 16 years, with repeated treatments failing each time, seriously affecting communication! | Answer: According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, this is due to excessive stomach fire, resulting in dry mouth, halitosis, oral erosion, and toothache/gum swelling. Western medicine attributes it to autonomic nervous system dysfunction in the digestive system, with sympathetic dominance. Western medicines such as gamma-oryzanol and methylcobalamin are effective, but TCM’s syndrome differentiation and treatment are even more effective.
2. Happiness: A 40-year-old woman has numbness in the palate and tip of the tongue. What could be the cause? How should it be diagnosed and treated?
Answer: This is peripheral neuritis. While peripheral neuritis can occur in this area, most cases involve numbness in the limbs. I suggest trying oral medications such as Langdi or Disainuo.
What is it?
Answer: Whether you’re experiencing itching or not—if you are, it could be urticaria; if it’s just a slight itch, it might be eczema. Ultimately, you need to describe your symptoms yourself; a diagnosis cannot be made based solely on photos.
I constantly feel something in my throat, accompanied by belching.

Anan: A female friend of mine (married with children) has aplastic anemia. Previously, related symptoms were controlled through dietary therapy or blood transfusions. Last year, her condition worsened again, and traditional Chinese medicine didn’t help much. She also feels stomach discomfort. Now she relies on blood transfusions for survival, but doctors say she needs a bone marrow transplant or ATG treatment. Is there a better option, since Western medicine isn’t very confident about this disease? Answer: For aplastic anemia, Traditional Chinese Medicine does have solutions. I see such patients every day. Although the effects are relatively slow, most patients respond well, and many have been cured. You’re welcome to visit my clinic.

Plum: My mother underwent kidney tumor removal surgery at the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University in April 2013. Her postoperative recovery was good, but a December 2014 checkup revealed metastasis to the lungs. What should be done in such a case—should she take traditional Chinese medicine, or undergo another surgery? Please advise, Mr. Pei. Answer: Don’t worry. Most malignant kidney tumors are clear cell type, which, although prone to metastasis, are not highly malignant and are not suitable for radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Even if the cancer has spread to the lungs, as long as proper conditioning is carried out, patients can still live for a long time with the tumor. Based on my over 50 years of clinical experience, I strongly advise against performing radiofrequency ablation or interventional procedures in the lungs, as these can promote further metastasis. This is a principle I’ve learned from more than 50 years of practice, and it’s not mentioned in any textbooks.

Micro-record: I often work at the computer, and I suffer from cervical spondylosis. What are some good remedies? Answer: The issue you’re describing is exactly what I often think about. Computers became popular in the 21st century, and young people’s jobs are almost entirely dependent on them. Although computers are great, prolonged sitting at a desk
| > 1. Fan Wenjia: My mother was diagnosed with lung cancer in May and underwent surgery and chemotherapy. Recently, she has been experiencing frequent headaches, dizziness, and high blood pressure. Doctors say it’s brain metastasis and recommend Gamma Knife treatment. What advice do you have? | Answer: There are many methods in traditional Chinese medicine that can be very effective, but there is one drawback:

Lan Muxuan: I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism at age 22. My thyroid antibody levels are over 600, while everything else is normal. I’ve been taking Euthyrox for half a year, but you said it shouldn’t be taken long-term. What alternatives do you suggest? Should I try other medications to relieve symptoms, or how should I approach treatment with traditional Chinese medicine? Answer: This is also an indication for traditional Chinese medicine. Not only can Chinese herbs gradually reduce the dosage of Euthyrox, but they can even completely discontinue it, and may even turn thyroid antibodies negative. However, this requires long-term use of Chinese medicine.

La Mei Dian Dong: My periods used to be regular (coming on time every month), but over the past two months they’ve become irregular—sometimes coming at the beginning of the month, sometimes at the end, totaling only 23 days of menstruation. Does this affect someone who is already anemic? Could it be early menopause for a 40-year-old woman? Whenever I have my period, I feel sick, weak, catch a cold, get dizzy, and feel anxious. I hope you can offer some guidance. Answer: If a 40-year-old woman has had multiple abortions, especially medical abortions, and hasn’t breastfed long enough, or has used temporary contraception, she’s more likely to develop gynecological inflammation, premature ovarian failure, and endocrine disorders. In such cases, menstruation may come earlier, later, or decrease in frequency. Childbirth and breastfeeding are beneficial for health, but nowadays some women don’t want to have children or breastfeed, which is detrimental to health and one of the reasons for the above-mentioned conditions. Each menstrual period accompanied by a cold or dizziness is a manifestation of endocrine disorder. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this is called “heat entering the blood chamber.” I recommend regularly taking Xiaoyao Wan and Guizhi Fuling Wan, and adding Xiao Chai Hu Wan during menstruation.
What’s going on?
Answer: In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this is called kidney deficiency. Sancai Fengsui Dan and Jianbu Huguan Wan can treat it. Western medicine calls pain during movement bone spurs or inflammation of fibrous tissue, while pain at rest is nerve reflex pain. Currently, there are no specific Western medicines for heel pain.
Hunger,
What’s the situation?
Answer: You may have superficial gastritis or gastrointestinal autonomic nervous system dysfunction. The gastrointestinal tract is the most sensitive part of the autonomic nervous system, and both hunger and overeating can trigger reactive disturbances throughout the entire autonomic nervous system.
Is this claim reliable?
Answer: Wheat germ is a product of vigorous embryonic growth. In addition to the usual vitamins and trace elements, it should also contain ample plant hormones. Although there’s currently no experimental research data available on this, all plant embryos can be made into delicious dishes, and they’re only beneficial to the human body—there are no drawbacks. Only potato sprouts are inedible because, in order to ensure their own growth and form excellent tubers in the future, they contain certain toxins.
| > 5. Wenwen: Our baby is only 14 days old, and this morning we discovered red spots all over his body—many of them, visible but impossible to touch. Doctor Pei, what could this be, and what should we do to make it better? | Answer: Within the first month after birth, most babies will exhibit various skin changes. Don’t rush to use medication, because during this period the fetal mast cells are still in a state of dysregulation. Today, secretion is relatively active, leading to rashes; tomorrow, secretion decreases, and the rashes disappear on their own.
Blowing wind, whistling sounds, getting worse after school in the evening,

And there are pimples on the forehead. What’s causing the tinnitus? Is it related to the pimples? These two conditions
How to manage them?
Answer: Tinnitus in school-age children is mostly caused by catarrhal otitis media. They should go to a specialized department for examination. On the side with tinnitus, the tympanic membrane may show congestion, edema, or retraction and pallor. Such children tend to experience worsening tinnitus after catching a cold, so preventing colds is one of the effective ways to treat this kind of tinnitus.
Coughing for nearly a month. I’d like to ask whether this illness can be cured,
How should it be treated?
Answer: Most cases of this illness have a background of chronic pharyngitis or chronic rhinitis. When a cold or infection occurs on top of this foundation, the illness develops. Based on my experience, when treating cough and wheezing, it’s essential to also treat colds and chronic pharyngitis and chronic rhinitis until they’re completely cured, so as to prevent recurrence. Otherwise, treating sporadically won’t lead to a cure.
Should we consider IVF (as recommended by the doctor),
or is natural conception possible?
Answer: You currently have: ① polycystic ovary syndrome; ② endometriosis (chocolate cyst); ③ uterine fibroids on the posterior wall; ④ left ovarian cyst. All four conditions can cause menstrual irregularities and endocrine disorders, making it very difficult for such patients to conceive. Even with IVF, pregnancy itself is uncertain, and whether it goes smoothly is a serious issue. My advice is not to rush into IVF yet. First, treat the aforementioned diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine is effective for uterine fibroids, polycystic ovary syndrome, and ovarian cysts, though its efficacy for chocolate cysts is weaker, but treatment is still possible. First, alleviate these conditions to varying degrees, then consider IVF. This approach is healthier for the body and avoids unnecessary financial waste. If IVF fails, the psychological impact is significant, which also affects conception. 2. Divine Dog Tribe Comment: My mother is 75 years old and has advanced cardia cancer without metastasis, discovered due to gastric bleeding. Her hemoglobin is now 72, and she’s very thin, so she can only eat liquid food. The hospital says she can’t tolerate surgery or chemotherapy. How should she be treated? Answer: First, her hemoglobin is too low, so anemia must be corrected. Without correcting anemia, treatment will be difficult regardless of whether it’s TCM or Western medicine. For a 75-year-old, if there’s no distant metastasis, surgery can be considered. Surgery combined with chemotherapy has a 5-year survival rate of over 60%. Correcting anemia is one aspect, but immediate hemostasis is also necessary. There are many methods for stopping bleeding, and hospitalization for observation is required. 3. Rao Ling: I’m 24 years old. Since 2014, the delay in my menstrual cycle has been getting longer and longer. Earlier it was 3–4 days, then 5–6 days, and later often 7–8 days, until now it’s reached 12 days. The color on the first day of menstruation is dark soy sauce, and the following days are bright red. I also experience fatigue and diarrhea during my period. I have lumbar disc herniation and often have lower back pain, but I’m not sure if the two are related. I hope Mr. Pei can offer some advice. Answer: Delayed menstruation is often due to insufficient estrogen secretion. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this is called disharmony between the Chong and Ren meridians and lack of unified qi and blood. The prerequisite for regulating the Chong and Ren meridians is to soothe the liver and regulate qi, as well as to invigorate blood circulation and remove stasis. This method is more positive than Western medicine’s estrogen supplementation. I recommend seeking treatment from an experienced TCM practitioner. 4. Yu Sheng Wei Ai – Di Mi: Male, 40 years old. Thin build. No other medical history. Recently, he’s been waking up every morning in pain—chest and back pain—and no cause has been found. Answer: For such patients, if there’s no organic lesion, it’s often chronic skeletal muscle strain or similar. Your information is limited, so I can only say this much. 5. Ping Chang Xin: I’m 40 years old this year, and since last year my legs have felt extremely fatigued. What could be the reason? Answer: As people get older, leg weakness is a common characteristic of all seniors. There’s a saying, “Dogs grow old, people grow old in their legs.” In fact, based on my experience, most such patients
- Shi Huiwen: Why do postpartum women experience dry and bitter mouths, even after drinking plenty of water, yet the dryness persists? What treatments are available? Answer: Postpartum women’s dry and bitter mouths are due to the postpartum autonomic nervous system not yet returning to normal. From a TCM perspective, this is attributed to stagnation of liver qi. I recommend trying Xiao Chai Hu Wan; Xiaoyao Wan also has a similar effect.
- Imagery Vision Comment: I’ve been feeling a “grinding” sensation in my right back for two days, which is uncomfortable but not quite painful. What could it be? Answer: Back discomfort is often related to gallbladder issues, though it’s not necessarily cholecystitis or gallstones. Poor bile flow can also cause such symptoms. I suggest trying Chaihu Shugan Wan.
- Ziren Comment: Internal hemorrhoids bleed after defecation. What medication is best? Answer: The main symptom of internal hemorrhoids is bleeding. Use 30g of mirabilite and 20g of borax, add 2000ml of boiling water, and take warm sitz baths once daily for 30 minutes each time. Give it a try.
- Heart-to-Heart: A one-month-old baby frequently spits up milk. What should be done? Answer: The baby has regurgitation. Western medicine attributes it to instability in the gastrointestinal autonomic nervous system, while TCM believes it’s due to rising qi and falling stomach qi. You should regulate the spleen and stomach. The simplest method is to use 10 peppercorns and 3 slices of dried ginger,
White sugar, one pinch; add 200 ml of water and decoct until reduced to 100 ml. Pour into a milk bottle and take 10 ml each time, three times daily. If left overnight, it must be re-decocted. 5. jeans-girl: Female, 24 years old. My wisdom tooth in the mouth is very painful. Can it be extracted? It's the innermost tooth. Will there be any aftereffects? Answer: How can a wisdom tooth be extracted casually? Wisdom teeth are very important teeth. Only after they erupt can the number and quality of teeth become more complete. Difficulty in eruption of wisdom teeth may lead to pain and inflammation. Please consult a specialist for treatment. 6. Juan: I am 31 years old this year. The day before yesterday, I underwent a breast ductoscopy examination, and it was said that the milk duct
