In response to the evolving modern climate,dietary habits,lifestyle rhythms,as well as shifts in the clinical disease spectrum and physical constitution,Lingnan's renowned Lingnan famous doctor Professor LAO Shaoxian and his team have advanced with the times through the accumulation of years of clinical experience.They have proposed innovative academic ideas centered around"internal and external factors leading to spleen and stom-ach disorders,dampness-heat accumulation,and the long-term cultivation of dampness-heat resulting in phlegm and blood stasis,which can cause Qi stagnation and blood stasis,as well as the interformation of heat toxicity and dampness(phlegm)leading to tumors(hyperplasia,polyps,tumors).Additionally,they emphasize the damp-ness-heat syndrome of the spleen and stomach,advocating for the removal of dampness to facilitate spleen function and clearing heat to prevent degeneration."These ideas have been successfully applied in clinical practice,not only achieving favorable outcomes but also serving as an effective teaching and guiding tool through the"teacher chain"method,making them worthy of promotion.
