“…Generally, they are made from the fermentation of selected fruits based on the Five Elements Theory (or the Five Phases Theory). According to the Five Elements Theory, all natural phenomena can be divided into five main groups: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water [14][15][16]. Each of these five main groups can also contain a limitless number of subcategories such as seasons, emotions, sounds, tastes, colors, internal organs, and more.…”

Fruits have been widely considered as the default "health foods" because they contain numerous vitamins and minerals needed to sustain human health. Fermentation strategies have been utilized to enhance the nutritive and flavor features of healthy and readily consumable fruit products while extending their shelf lives. A traditional fermented multi-fruit beverage was made from five fruits including kiwi, guava, papaya, pineapple, and grape fermented by Saccharomyces cerevisiae along with lactic acid bacteria and acetic acid bacteria. The immunomodulatory properties of the fermented multi-fruit beverage, in vivo nonspecific and ovalbumin (OVA)-specific immune response experiments using female BALB/c mice were performed. Administration of the fermented multi-fruit beverage reduced the calorie intake, thus resulting in a less weight gain in mice compared to the water (placebo)-fed mice. In the nonspecific immune study model, the fermented multi-fruit beverage enhanced phagocytosis and T cell proliferation but did not affect B cell proliferation and immunoglobulin G (IgG) production. Analysis of cytokine secretion profile also revealed that the fermented multi-fruit beverage enhanced proinflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and T helper (Th)1-related cytokine interferon (IFN)-γ production, thus creating an immunostimulatory effect. Nonetheless, in the specific immune study model, the results showed that the fermented multi-fruit beverage decreased the production of proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α production in OVA-immunized mice. Moreover, it also caused a decrease in the production of anti-OVA IgG1, which was accompanied by a decrease in Th2-related cytokines IL-4 and IL-5 production and an increase in Th1-related cytokine IFN-γ production, indicating that it may have the potential to shift the immune system from the allergen-specific Th2 responses toward Th1-type responses. The results indicate that fermented multi-fruit beverage has the potential to modulate immune responses both in a nonspecific and specific manners.

“…Although this article is focused in personality archetypes linked to the chakras, it establishes a relationship between the Five Elements Theory and the seven chakras, in the same way as proposed by the author in her previous articles. The system the author used to treat the five elements in the Five Elements Theory was based on this correspondence of the chakras to study the energy level of the five massive organs in TCM [22]. As there are seven chakras and five elements, the seventh chakra is ruled by the first (Wood or Liver), and the sixth chakra is ruled by the second (Water or Kidney).…”

Introduction: Hemorrhoids are defined as swollen veins in the anus or rectum, similar to varicose veins.Purpose: Demonstrate through two clinical case reports that patients with hemorrhoids have chakras energy deficiency and the correction of using ancient medical tools and high-diluted medication can help patients without performing surgery. Methods: Two case reports: the first, 50-year-old male patient, A.M.B., who suffered from hemorrhoids (2003 to 2005). Moisturizers, medications and cauterization were not successful. The patient started treatment with auricular acupuncture and apex ear bloodletting. He also received measurement of the chakras 10 years later, which attested his chakras were rated at the minimum level of energy (1) of 8. The second, a 38-year-old male patient, started treatment with ancient medical tools for vitiligo. On the middle of the treatment, he reported to have symptoms of hemorrhoids. Treatment was the same done in case 1 and received measurement of the chakras. All chakras of the patient were rated in the minimum level (1) of 8.The first treatment was associated with homeopathy and crystal-based medications to replenish the energy of the chakras. Findings:The first patient reported improvement after the very first session, claiming that the stinging sensations had disappeared with no relapses. The second patient only had significant improvement of the hemorrhoid symptoms when the treatment was associated with the use of homeopathy and crystal-based medications to replenish the energy of the chakras. Conclusion:The conclusion of this study is that hemorrhoids can be effectively treated using Chinese dietary counseling, auricular acupuncture, associated with apex ear bloodletting, and bloodletting in the correspondent rectum point, rebalancing Yin, Yang, Qi, Blood and Heat Retention, and replenishing the energy of the chakras with high-diluted medication, without the necessity of surgical intervention, according to these two case reports.

“…[4][5][6][7][8] In the article published by Christopher R. Chase, entitled The Geometry of Emotions: Using Chakra Acupuncture and 5-Phase Theory to Describe Personality Archetypes for Clinical Use, the author states that there is a correlation between the five emotions (fear, anger, joy, pensive thought, and grief) and the five elements (Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal) in traditional Chinese medicine and the treatment done in the chakras' energies meridians in Ayurvedic medicine. 9 In patients with gastritis, the most important chakra suffering from a deficiency is the fifth chakra. However, the author demonstrated in a study performed in her clinic in Brazil, which she measured through radiesthesia procedure the amount of energy found in a thousand patients in 2015 to 2020 period.…”

Introduction Gastritis is a general term for inflammation of the stomach. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), gastritis is a disharmony between Yin, Yang, Qi, Blood and Heat retention of Liver, Stomach, Spleen or other disharmonies. Purpose To demonstrate that gastritis has energies alterations and chakras’ energies deficiencies as the root of its problem. The correction and replenishment of the chakras’ energies meridians are the most important goals in patient’s recovery. Methods Two case reports. The first, a 34-year-old male patient with complaints of chronic fatigue and epigastric pain, not improving with any medication the doctors prescribed. The second patient was a 32-year-old female who started having pain on the stomach and a burning sensation, as well as strong headache since she was 16-years-old. She was diagnosed with reflux through an endoscopy and treatment was started lansoprazole and pantoprazole and diet for reflux. She performed this treatment for four years, with no success. Both patients did the chakras’ energies meridian measurement through radiesthesia procedure. The result was that six out of seven chakras’ were completely lack of energies rated one (the minimum level) out of eight (the normal level), with the exception of the seventh chakra that was normal. Both patients were treated with Chinese dietary counseling, auricular acupuncture with apex ear bloodletting, systemic acupuncture and replenishment of the chakras’ energies with homeopathic medication according to Constitutional Homeopathy of the Five Elements Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine and crystal based medications. Results Both patients recover from all their symptoms very fast, including the epygastric pain discomfort without the necessity of using any antacid and proton-pump inhibitors medications. Conclusion Gastritis has an energy alteration and chakras’ energies deficiencies as a root and the treatment of these energy imbalances and replenishment of this lack of energies is essential for the patient’s improvement in the deepest level, not only treating the symptom. Keywords: Gastritis; Energy; Chakra; Traditional Chinese Medicine; Homeopathy; Crystal-based medication.
