ABSTRACT: Theory of both Zangxiang (藏象) and Jingluo (经络) is useful in understanding disease. By using
mathematical reasoning based on Yin Yang Wu Xing Theory in Traditional Chinese Medicine
(TCM), this paper demonstrates the treatment principle: “Searching for a root
cause of disease in cure, treatment of
both the root-cause and symptoms at the same time” (治病求本, 标本兼治). It means that for a human body, there is the mathematical structure of
both Zangxiang and Jingluo as her/his second physiological system. It can be
used to determine both the root-cause and symptoms of the sick organ by using
both Zangxiang and Jingluo. In general, for the human blood pH value, the
normal range of theory is [7.34539, 7.45461] nearly to [7.35, 7.45], and the
center is 7.4. The first or second transfer law of a human body’s energies
changes according to the different blood pH values whether in the normal range
or not. Human disease treatment should protect and maintain the balance of two
incompatibility relations: the loving relationship and the killing
relationship. As an application, acupuncture is used to treat limb-girdle
muscular dystrophy.
