若夫法天则地，随应而动，和之者若响，随之者若影，道无鬼神，独来独往。

——《素问·宝命全形论》

If one can apply the therapy according to the principle of the variations of Yin and Yang of heaven and earth, the curative effects will be obtained as a matter of course. This is nothing mysterious, when one is serious in accumulating knowledges with protracted experience, something unique in his achievement will certainly occur.

生生不息……

生命的起源和进化理论源远流长、众说纷纭，不过各种理论都可以归结为生生不息，生物总会找到办法繁衍生息。

我想请你们花点时间想想，对于肿瘤来说，我们也是麻烦，我们是入侵者，我们是它所面临的危险，对于肿瘤来说，我们才是癌症！

而肿瘤自己呢？肿瘤将自己视为一个努力想要来到这个世界的甜美的、可爱的、胖胖的婴儿，而我们想要阻止它、消灭它，像野蛮人一样把它从幸福温暖的小窝中撕取出来。

对于肿瘤来说，我们就是没有人性的、残忍的怪物。我为什么要这样说？我为什么叫它“婴儿”并在这里讨论如何“杀死”它？因为这种肿瘤值得我们尊重，值得被给予一点人性。

它不仅仅是个肿瘤，它足智多谋，它很强大，它有超凡的适应能力，它富有诗意，它是上帝的杰作，它是一个生命。和其他生命一样，它想生存，和其他生命一样，它会拼死求生……

Life will out...

The origins and lessons of life and evolution are long and complex, but what they basically boil down to is life will out, life will always find a way to continue.

I'd like you for one moment to consider the idea that, to the tumor, we are the problem, we are the invader, we are the danger, to the tumor, we are the cancer!

And the tumor? Well, the tumor sees itself as a sweet, cute, fat-cheeked baby, just trying to make its way into the world, and we want to stop it, destroy it, tear it from its happy little home like barbarians.

To the tumor, we are the soulless, murderous monsters.Why do I do this? Why do I call it a "baby" and talk about"killing" it? Because this kind of tumor deserves respect, it deserves a little humanity.

It's not just a tumor, it has ingenuity, strength, adaptability and poetry, it's one of god's masterpieces, it's alive. And like any living thing, it wants to stay alive, like any living thing, it is going to fight like hell to survive...
