Personal note: Thanks for following along. After the medical specialists I had seen for my own health issues failed, I found a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner that changed my life. My life mission is to show the world the clinical power and healing philosophy of TCM, to change the lives of as many as possible while I live.

I am now studying Acupuncture and it was because I watched a video of yours when I resigned from the job (and boss) from hell! I was sat watching one of your vids, and feeling very low, wondering what I should do with my life. You were talking and had the channel/meridian model behind you, and I suddenly got a flash of inspiration that to become an Acupuncturist was what I had to do and from that moment, I have never looked back! I had always been interested in Acupuncture and used it many times to help me with different conditions but thought it was somehow out of my reach. I'll be qualified and practicing in a year from now and I have to say it is the most fascinating experience, I love it. Thanks for the inspiration, Alex!

I learned so much from this video! I've been experiencing many low spleen qi symptoms and I feel more empowered in my healing journey

[OatmealTheCrazy]

Update, I've found as well that apple cider vinegar also helped tremendously, along with just fasting

[maragrace]

I can’t eat bread and pasta in USA but if I make my own pasta and bread with heirloom flours I have no issues and none of the gluten free people I know have issues with it

astragalus (huang qi) is good for spleen, its also have various vital benefits

[cristinabock]

This is me to a T. I’ve cut so many foods out of my diet due to stomach pain.

[OatmealTheCrazy]

Ah, yay. I've actually had a lot of this, primarily phlegmyness and brain fog. After switching to a vaguely Paleo diet with heavy emphasis on no bread/pasta and the like about half a year ago, I've gotten miles better

[nataliecaultz]

Brilliant video! My accupuncturist is away for a month so trying to help myself with research as he said I have spleen qi deficiency. Excessive worry has ruined my digestion lately :(

5:50 not me fresh out of my first acupuncture appointment on the way to chipotle to pick up my massive burrito 😆

This makes so much sense… ever since I had an enlarged spleen from mononucleosis infection about 2 years ago, I have had these symptoms as well as thyroid issues. Since I began astragalus root at recommendation of my aunt, I have felt much better . Now looking into TCM and acupunctures to get it out of the way

[cristinabock]

As someone with a severely weak digestion I think your 1.0 recommendation is better for 2.0 symptoms! Animal muscle meat is extremely difficult to digest. I’ll be sidelined for 2 days for a few bites. I count on the well cooked veg and grains for nutrition, calories, energy and satisfaction. Bone broth is good! And 1 small piece of chicken liver on a really good day.

Please can you do a video on osteoporosis and the chinese medicine approach backed by the scientific evidence to help

[capricecraigmill]

❤ WOW! Thank you very much! You pegged my non eating issues. I had no idea, until i started listening to you!

[andyxbox]

I recently realized, after consulting with my Acupuncturist, that my spleen deficiency was most probably coming from excessive masturbation. As a man you not only lose vital energy but also fluids, and as the spleen is the one responsible in body fluids, especially lymph, I believe it got highly impacted by it.

Immediately after ejaculating, I would feel an intense pain in the left side of the rib cage. So for every man having these symptoms and the ones from the video, you might want to asses your masturbation/ejaculation occurrences before trying to treat them with diet or others and not understanding why it doesn't work

I learned in my studies that the Water element---Kidneys and UBladder---hates cold and the metal element---Lungs and Large Intestine---hate dryness. You had it the other way around.

[SarahMJordan]

Thank you. You just described me like reading a book

[nadiaashworth]

Very helpful but if you could do a day of what to eat

[lmansur]

Very helpful info. I have restricted a lot re my diet but forgot why...I used to go to Chinese medicine schools where they treated the public for less $$... I did that for about 8 months...and this is a reminder. It is the Spleen deficiency. My main issue now is the sweets... I do not over do it but still I think I do too much...and could do better... otherwise, I feel I am doing pretty well, overall.

[hifiunicorn]

Do u know of any channels focused on TCM cooking ? I need some inspiration for kitchen practices.

[odinson]

Ha! My spleen is 13.5cm long and the Doctors have known this for 10 years. They have done nothing!
I’ll stick to using fruit and hopefully that will help.
