At the end of 2022, we finally ushered in the long-awaited full opening.
Soon, the voices of "Yang Kang", "Yang Guo", and "Wang Chongyang" in the circle of friends came and went, overwhelming everything else.
At this time, a friend actually posted a statement stating that he had decided not to eat for 7 days and would starve the virus to death.
Many people thought he was joking and made fun of him. "The virus doesn't starve to death, you starve to death."
As a result, he said righteously: "What I mean is bigu (bì gǔ). You don't understand that you can really starve the virus to death."
So what exactly does he mean by inescaping?
Bigu is a Taoist special health-preserving technique that has been passed down from ancient my country to this day. It mainly achieves the purpose of prolonging life through diet control and Qigong practice. It is also called Quegu, Juegu, Quegrain, Xiuliang, etc., which means it is far away from whole grains. Within a certain period of time, no staple food is eaten, and only medicinal herbs or other things are eaten.
Bigu is also called and Qi Bigu . Taoists believe that if people do not eat grains, they are taking air. Air is the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon. Taking it can make people delay aging and make their ears and eyes bright.
In layman’s terms, inedia means fasting and not eating.
But "people are like iron, and food is like steel. If you don't eat one meal, you will be hungry." If people don't eat, they will lose their energy and energy. How can they survive?
Some people say that as long as you pay attention to the method and method, you will really not be hungry after a short period of time. It can not only lose weight, but also improve your spirit and cure various diseases.
Is this true? Is inedia really so miraculous?
1. The magical inedia. Can cancer be cured by not eating for three months?
Zhenru, who claims to be the 61st generation descendant of " Medicine King Sun Simiao" in Tongzhou, Beijing, has opened a fasting class. His students would gather in the small garden every day to "practice".
At noon, the students will have a "convinced meal" together under the leadership of Zhen Ru.
Zhenru said: "Initiation does not eat grains, but what it absorbs is Qi. That is to say, through practicing breathing and breathing, we collect the energy of the universe and meet the various nutrients we need every day." In other words, people must learn to be like plants, accepting the "spiritual energy" of all things in the world, so as to achieve the purpose of growing naturally without eating.
Zhenru introduced that by "collecting cosmic energy" and absorbing qi through inescaping, any disease can be cured, and even cancer can be cured without medicine. He once led a student with leukemia, who stimulated his body's potential after abstinence. Without taking any drugs, the body's repair ability engulfed the cancer cells.
After examination, the doctor found that all indicators of the trainee were normal, and he has never been to the hospital since.
This is really a medical miracle, inescaping can actually cure cancer. So, what is the principle of treating cancer?
Zhenru replied that everything is a secret and cannot be leaked. If it is leaked, it will not work.
Some students "ran away" after two days of studying. First, they couldn't stand the hunger caused by fasting. Second, they felt that some of Zhen Ru's words were nonsense and had no scientific basis.
In fact, Bigu is not a metaphysics, but through the explanations of the so-called masters, it has become something mysterious and mysterious. What secret cannot be revealed is, to put it bluntly, an excuse that cannot be justified.
Qiu Chaoping, a member of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Fasting Research Group of Sun Yat-sen University, said that fasting has a long history, but not everyone is suitable for fasting. Since fasting requires continuous fasting, people with malnutrition, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. are not suitable for fasting.
Believing that inescaping can bring about changes is nothing more than being given psychological hints and choosing to believe unconditionally.
Whether Bigu is reliable or not depends on the facts.
2. What happens to those people who don’t eat for a long time?
Some people can indeed go without food for a long time, while some people have embarked on another path early due to inedia.
There was a 46-year-old woman who committed suicide after learning Bigu.
What is the reason? Because she herself has a serious mental illness, she has not eaten for a long time, and she continues to move forward in the darkness, unable to find any abundant energy. Life is meaningless, and death has become the final destination.
If her depression was the final cause of death, then Sichuan netizen Chen Youchun saved a life by luck. After five days of fasting, Chen You was so hungry that he felt dizzy and fainted in the cab. The most terrifying thing was that his foot was on the accelerator. When the car crashed, luckily another car stopped on the side of the road, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. When
was treated, Chen You was already in a coma. If he persisted for a few more days, he might not be able to save his life.
There is also a 61-year-old Ms. Zhang who has reached the advanced stage of ovarian cancer. After giving up treatment, she found a "Qigong master" and asked him to teach her the practice of fasting. Good guy, the "Qigong Master" directly asked her to fast for seven days, allowing her to use her body's self-healing mechanism to starve the cancer cells to death.
In the end, it was not known whether the cancer cells were dead or not, but she passed away peacefully because her condition continued to worsen.
Ms. Xu, 52, from Hangzhou, spent a lot of money to cure diabetes. After being recommended by someone, I tried fasting therapy. A week later, she developed diabetic ketoacidosis and was rushed to the hospital for treatment. In this way, she still never forgets the teachings of the "Qigong Master", which requires fasting and refuses all food.
Dr. Yu Juan of Fudan University After suffering from cancer, she was persuaded to give up treatment in regular hospitals. She went to Huangshan, Anhui and became a disciple of "Miracle Doctor Yang" and underwent "starvation therapy". She was starved for several days and took all kinds of "magic medicine" prescribed by the doctor. The cancer cells spread and metastasized. One month later, at the age of 32, she passed away forever.
From these cases, we can see it. Inedia is not as magical as the rumors say, and not everyone can inediate it. As Teacher Qiu Chaoping said, fasting is not suitable for people who are seriously ill.
But since Bigu health care has been passed down for thousands of years, it must have something special about it. Below we will reveal the mystery behind it through some classic cases of inescaping.
3. Challenge the magician, the old Chinese medicine practitioner fasted for 49 days
In 2003, the American magician David Blaine completed a performance in London, which involved a 44-day hunger strike. After this, David became famous all over the world.
After seeing this news, Chen Jianmin, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor in Luzhou, Sichuan, my country, couldn’t sit still.
Chen Jianmin started practicing martial arts at the age of 16 and was very good at Bigu. He felt that he could fast longer than David, so he made a challenge to David by fasting for seven or forty-nine days.
In 2004, in a glass house in Bifengxia, Chen Jianmin completed a 49-day fast.
After fasting this time, Chen Jianmin lost a total of 23 pounds. Although he was helped out, his mental condition was always good from the time he entered to the time he came out. The average fasting time for ordinary people is seven days. He has broken this time, which is a perfect challenge.
However, is this kind of violation of science really possible?
Many scholars and social figures have raised questions.
First of all, although Chen Jianmin’s every move in the glass room is monitored by everyone. There are still two places in that have not been made public. One is the bathroom. For privacy, the lower half has been blurred. The other is the water pipe that carries the water source. It is completely closed and you can't see what is being sent in.
That said, he did not eat where people could see him. But turning my back, it is unknown whether there are any other additions.
Secondly, there was a 5-minute break in the live broadcast. Although the TV station said that it was an electrician's mistake. However, no one knows what Chen Jianmin did in these five minutes.
Furthermore, interests are involved.
After this incident, Sichuan Bifeng Gorge became famous. The ticket revenue of 15 million yuan, plus the consumption of the live audience, brings in at least more than 30 million yuan.Even if this is false, Bifengxia will be the biggest beneficiary.
It seemed that Dr. Chen had won, but later, David admitted that what he was performing was a magic trick, and that he was not really hungry for so many days. He would secretly eat something in private. But even so, he suffered from mental disorder when he was starved for 28 days.
In contrast, Chen’s 49-day fasting from traditional Chinese medicine makes people more suspicious.
Chen’s traditional Chinese medicine may have falsified the practice of fasting, but a nun actually performed fasting for 898 days. What is going on?
4. One mountain is higher than the other, and the 898-day fasting record
html In the early 1990s, Shi Hongqing, a nun from Qinglian Temple on Lianhua Mountain in Jiangxi Province, set a stronger survival limit record. She did not eat any food and drank only a small amount of water. She lived without food for 898 days.
The most important difference between her and Chen Jianming is that Chen Jianming basically does not have much physical labor and consumes less. Shi Hongqing not only refused to eat, but also worked like a normal person.
This Shi Hongqing, when her mother was pregnant with her, she did not eat meat and only ate vegetarian dishes. So after she was born, she naturally ate only vegetables.
htmlAfter the age of 08, he went up the mountain to become a real nun.
Shi Hongqing has not always stopped eating. When she was 22 years old, she had a brief period of fasting. The first time, after a week of fasting, she resumed eating when she felt hungry; the second time, she did not eat for 28 consecutive days, and the third time, she fasted for 31 consecutive days.
And that time on day 898, in her own words, she suddenly didn’t want to eat, she wasn’t hungry, and she felt full every day. She didn't even look at the vegetarian food cooked in the temple.
Because she had been living without food for a long time, people were curious. The people from the TV station followed her up and inspected her. They followed Shi Hongqing for 4 days and 8 days respectively. They stayed with Shi Hongqing day and night, and were with Shi Hongqing at all times. It was confirmed that Shi Hongqing only drank a small amount of boiled water and did not eat anything. The confirmation from
TV station did not dispel people's curiosity about her, and there are more and more rumors about Shi Hongqing in the society. Kang Lao, deputy director of the Ningdu County Standing Committee, ordered the medical staff from the radio station and the health bureau to move directly into Qinglian Temple and asked four female nurses to strictly observe Shi Hongqing.
found through records that Shi Hongqing consumed more than 4,000 calories during two days of labor, but her weight did not decrease at all and remained at 44 pounds. Moreover, Shi Hongqing's endurance and explosive power are no different from normal people.
Shi Hongqing is also unique in that he can enhance or reduce the basal metabolic rate in his body through changes in heart rate and blood pressure . In other words, Shi Hongqing has a very powerful self-regulation ability in his body.
According to her daily activity level, during work such as climbing mountains, chopping firewood, carrying water, etc., through the sweat on her skin and the water vapor in her breath, she should drain 2,000 ml of water every day. However, she only drinks 150 ml of water every day, plus the body's own biological oxidized water , it is only 450 ml.
It is incredible that she consumes so little water but is not dehydrated or has any other symptoms.
If there is something special about Shi Hongqing, it is that she has never had her period at the age of 25. However, there is no obvious conclusion that proves that her long-term abstinence is related to this.
In any case, Shi Hongqing did not eat for more than 800 days through inedia. But ordinary people had better not imitate to avoid accidents.
Shi Hongqing’s experience of fasting tells us: fasting, that is, only drinking water and not eating, is indeed feasible. But for ordinary people, if there is method guidance, you can try light fasting for 1-2 days. You must not blindly start light fasting or even skip meals for a long time for the purpose of losing weight or treating diseases.
So how to do fasting correctly? What are the effects of inedia?
5. The meaning and method of fasting
For modern people, fasting occasionally is of great benefit to the body.
Because there is too much material now, most people can't keep their mouths shut and eat whatever they want without being able to move their legs, which leads to continuous overnutrition of the body and puts a huge burden on the body.
We can also find that people nowadays are clamoring to lose weight every day, and many diseases have begun to appear in young people in advance.
The root cause of the disease is that we eat and eat every day, eat a lot of things we shouldn't eat, and never let our body, especially the digestive system , take a good rest.
The more food you eat, the more toxins your body will accumulate, and the possibility of developing diseases will greatly increase. When you reach a certain age, or the body's immunity is reduced, diseases will come like a shadow.
So it is best to do light fasting every once in a while to give the body’s digestive system a rest and to eliminate toxins from the body.
So how to carry out light fasting correctly?
The author is not a professional. Here is a fasting therapy that is easiest for beginners to master: 36H light fasting.
That is to say, the fasting time is 36 hours, starve for one night, starve for one day, and starve for another night.
This operation takes a short time. As long as there is nothing else to do in the past few days, you can start. During light fasting, you should pay attention to the following points:
1. Drinking more lemon and honey water can help the body detoxify;
2. Strenuous exercise is not recommended;
3. It is normal not to defecate during light fasting, so don’t force yourself;
4. If you are excessively weak, you must stop immediately.
If you want to know more about light fasting, it is recommended to read books about light fasting.
Bigu is a health treasure passed down from our ancestors, and it has its scientific merits. However, there are endless deceptive products and claims on the market today. We should read more books, improve our knowledge, and not be deceived by those leek masters who defraud us of money and life.
What do you think about inedia? Have you had any relevant experience? Welcome to share it in the comment area to help more people.
