Traditional Chinese Medicine Parenting: Question 15 – Why do so many children develop leukemia nowadays?

Answer: Leukemia is a term used in Western medicine, but its essence is rooted in the body's response to cold. Initially, when leukemia begins, the child usually has a cold, meaning they have caught a chill and developed a fever. They are then treated with cold, antibiotic infusions. The body perceives this as an invasion of "cold energy," and in response, it activates the body's vital energy to generate heat in an attempt to expel the cold. 

On a physical level, this manifests as an increase in white blood cells (which move from the bone marrow into the bloodstream). Western medicine, in turn, administers more antibiotics, leading to more cold entering the body, and the need for more white blood cells to expel the cold (the increase in lymphocytes results in swollen lymph nodes). When this process escalates, it eventually manifests as "leukemia."

Western medicine does not recognize or acknowledge the concept of "cold energy" as a cause of illness, nor does it consider the patient’s subjective experiences (such as fatigue, muscle weakness, and chills with fever). Instead, the increase in white blood cells is seen as the cause of the disease, rather than a symptom. The reason behind the increase in white blood cells remains unknown to them, so the treatment goal becomes reducing the white blood cell count through "aggressive" measures.

As a result, cold infusions are continually administered into the body, while the body responds with ongoing fever, producing more immune cells to combat the cold. Meanwhile, red blood cells, which are responsible for producing energy, are depleted as the immune cells consume all the available energy, leading to insufficient red blood cell production, which manifests as "anemia."

Furthermore, this internal battle also impacts the liver, leading to additional issues that show up in blood tests, including complications revealed through invasive procedures like biopsies. These problems are all interconnected, but the discussion of them would be too lengthy to cover here.

Conclusion: Leukemia is essentially a blood disorder caused by improper treatment of a fever. The path to curing it is very straightforward: stop the continued invasion of cold energy, apply heat, and encourage the child’s body to generate a fever, allowing them to sweat out the cold. Once the fever subsides, the white blood cell count will immediately decrease, and as soon as there is sufficient heat energy, the bone marrow will start producing blood again, resolving all related issues.
