胃食道逆流的發生通常和飲食習慣有關，因為胃門口的賁門括約肌鬆弛了，所以胃中的胃酸逆流回食道，而引起臨床症狀或造成食道黏膜組織改變的一種食道疾病。

你真的了解什麼是「上癮」嗎？

思考的重要

Be a maverick of your kind (創造獨特的價值英文版)

Times has been developed along with the advancement of technologies & civilization. In 21^st century, the ever-lasting target in the innovation of up-graded computers and high- speed –internet has gradually became a mainstream in common life. However, in pursuit of efficiency and high-performance of technology, have we ever reflected on something missing & neglected ?

Ma Ke ( 馬可 ) , the founder of clothing brand WUYONG (Note 1), born in Changchun City, a talented and famous fashion designer, has always kept herself in the background, though she is also the first China female designer that been invited to present a fashion show for haute couture week in Paris. Just like herself, dress designed by Ma Ke always appears a essence of simplicity & pureness and her heartily – concern of human being and Mother Earth and environmental protection conceptions. Ma Ke is unique in fashion industry. She thinks in different perspective from the others, and adds different energy to this industry. Her brand, WUYONG, which, in Chinese, means “ useless articles “ sounds curiously as well. Normally, well-known designers, surely, create powerful brand name to be show-off. In the opposite, WUYONG, represents weakness & valulessness. Does it really mean that? Of course not, if only we could be able to discover the soundless design concepts behind the surface meaning of WUYONG.

Ma Ke had spent most of her childhood in the countryside of Jilin Province, China. Since she was young, she has been strongly attracted by the traditional hand-made clothing. For Ma Ke, traditional handmade crafts were full of deep national sentiments. Each piece of handwork took abound of time in sewing and niddling in contrast to machine-made “fast fashion” pieces. Every hand-made work represents its own unique spirit that would hardly be substituted by mass-production pieces. Furthermore, handmade pieces were like the most priceless family heirlooms. What Ma Ke loves is exactly those articles, looked plain or even useless at first glance, on the contrary , filled with countless emotional memory which is most treasured by her. Based on this concept, she named her brand WUYONG.

For Ma Ke, WUYONG is more than just a brand name. It covers three strong sense of social duties as well. First is to preserve and pass down Chinese traditional handicraft arts ; second is to promote a simple lifestyle for everyone living in the cities; the third one is to have WUYONG ,as a bridge, to encourage poverty – population to change their fortune by diligence, at the same time, create values of their new life. WUYONG, not only sells dresses with countable prices, more than that, sells concepts with uncountable values. And, that, as a result, makes WUYONG be a unique in the fashion industry.

In fashion industry, there is a unique designer Ma Ke, while in medical field, there is a unique doctor Chiang Shu-Huei (姜淑惠), the founder of ASANGA – the way of health (Note 2). Dr. Chiang has some similar traits to Ma Ke. Both of them have unique perspective on their profession. About twenty years ago, Dr. Chiang has been dedicated herself to nature medical field. She has applied the most basic and natural key way to teach patients to eat right foods and to upgrade thoughts to rescue themselves from torture of mental or physical illness. Dr. Chiang wishes that people are capable to handle their own health and lead life to happiness. Dr. Chiang’s concepts in treatments is unique and valuable in contrast to modern medical nowadays that usually depends on lots of chemical synthesis medication which tend to derive many side effects. Ma Ke’s WUYONG and Dr. Chiang’s ASANGA - the way of health have brought us some valuable views on fashion and medical.

Could we all slow down for a while instead of rushing forward? Shouldn’t we keep open-minded to discover and observe things that might be special and valuable not only to ourselves but also to the others on earth as well?

創造獨特的價值

時代的發展，伴隨著科技與文明的進步。在現代21世紀 – 我們這個以電腦及網際網路創新突破為指標的年代，求快速、求便利逐漸成為人類生活中的主流及趨勢，不過，這卻也同時帶給人們反思，究竟在一切求快及求便利的過程中，我們是否忽略了、遺忘了些什麼重要的東西？

走一條不同道路的獨特設計師

馬可，出生中國東北長春，是珠海「無用」文化創意公司負責人，她是一位行事極為低調的女設計師，也是第一位受邀參加法國巴黎時裝週的中國女設計師，風格簡單低調，卻充滿對人對土地的關懷與環保概念，馬可像是在服裝設計產業中的異類，用不一樣的視野思考服裝設計，用不一樣的角度切入這塊產業，為這塊領域注入不一樣的能量。取名為「無用」的設計品牌，這名字本身就引人好奇，因為在時尚服裝產業中赫赫有名的大牌，大多是頗具「氣勢」的名字，因此「無用」顯得特別突兀，「無用」代表沒用嗎？若能瞭解馬可對服裝設計的想法，或許就能略窺一二了。

成長環境啟發創作靈感，涵養創作理念

從小成長於鄉下的馬可，對於傳統手工藝服裝有深刻的著迷與喜愛，對她來說，傳統手工藝服裝醞釀了深刻的文化情感，是人世間最有溫情並能夠留給他人的獨特餽贈，雖然要依靠一針一線的慢工細活，但也因此每件服裝都擁有自己獨一無二的創作軌跡。而傳統手工藝品，相對於借助現代科技大量製造的「快速時尚」，更顯得彌足而珍貴。科技迅速發展之下，許多看似不夠漂亮、不夠華美而被拋棄的「無用物」，反而是最珍貴的情感記憶，讓馬可珍愛的正是這些乍看無用的事物，因此她將自己的設計品牌取名「無用」。

做有價值的事情

對於馬可來說，「無用」不僅是個品牌，同時也具有三項社會使命，一是希望保固及傳承中國的傳統手工藝；二是向都市生活的人推行一種簡樸生活；三是希望透過「無用」做為前兩項的橋樑，鼓勵貧窮地區民眾用勤勞的雙手改變命運，同時創造新生命的價值。馬可的「無用」不只做有價格的事情，更是做有價值的事情，這樣的「無用」，在時尚界獨一無二。

創辦無著健康之道，姜醫師用堅持走出自然醫學的一片天

在時尚界，有一位特立獨行的設計師馬可，而在醫學界，則有一位特立獨行的姜醫師，由姜醫師創辦的「無著」健康之道，與馬可的「無用」有幾許相似處，也有著獨到眼光，早在20多年前就堅定地走在自然醫學的道路上，扎根、開拓、養育，透過飲食及心理的調理，運用最基本且自然之法去醫治受疾病所苦的人，願生病之人離苦得樂，願每個人都能夠將健康的鑰匙掌握在自己手中。相較於現代醫學大量依賴藥物治療病人而產生許多後遺症的窘境，姜醫師的「無著」理念顯得難能可貴。在這個飛速變遷的奔騰時代，馬可「無用」及姜醫師「無著」價值都值得我們放慢腳步去觀察及反思，留些不同的空間給時尚及醫學，也留些不同的探討空間給這個世界。

為自己的健康，下一只關鍵的活棋

關鍵性的一步棋，猶如照亮人生的一線光明

初聽聞的疑慮

憶及二十多年前，我就常聽聞這種古老的排膽結石食方法，但於其詳情、細節及理論都無由察考，故僅能將他蒐藏在記憶庫中。

爾後又於行醫期間，遇一八十二歲老嫗，因為屢為膽結石所困擾，經由他的家人推介而採用這種排膽結石的方法，不幸於使用第三天，發生急性阻塞性膽囊炎，因化膿及敗血病而緊急手術，險些喪命。

當然也有嘗試自然療法者，與我分享他們採行此法，排出許多結石而改善病情之事。由於這種毀譽參半的事件，屢屢發生，因而我一直採取沉默觀察的態度，未實質地涉入。

《神奇的肝膽排石法》一書釋移

直到原水出版社，寄來安德烈莫瑞茲先生的《神奇的肝膽排石法》（2007年改版），終於把我沉寂二十多年的疑慮，突然喚醒，令我雀躍且興奮地捧讀，讀後感到敬佩不已，並不吝惜於大眾分享幾點感觸與感動。

莫瑞茲醫師本身從小多病，曾罹患幼年型類風濕性關節炎，病苦促使他對生命有豐沛的體悟，藉由多次排膽石方法，並斷除肉食的素食方式而痊癒。他不斷透過自己的身體力行，親身求證，細心觀察，進而指導病友，分享經驗，在累積二十至三十年豐富的臨床經驗後，更進一步著書立說，落實「立德、立功、立言」三達德的圓滿境界。

作者從古老的保健法中，試圖找到圓融闡示的理論基礎及架構，由掌握真理而實踐兌現真理；從遵循古法中，更躍一程臻至「知其所以然」的境界。若粗略地看，或許有人會認為他是「自圓其說」，但若客觀細心地評量，從膽汁由膽管排泄受阻所導致的大小疾病中，演繹貫串成一個生理機制的體系，可謂牽一髮而動全身。

排膽結石的淨化法，屬於一種斷食自淨法，猶如位自己進行一個迷你手術，一年多次的清除，是自我的環保，藉由一次一次的膽管疏通，直到通暢無比，屆時許多頑固疾病均有療癒的機會。膽管癌、壺腹癌、胰臟癌，乃至肝癌是肝膽消化道中最為棘手且困難的絕症。因為發現時，通常為時已晚，以瀕臨癌末才發現。探其致病原因也都相當模糊，但許多資料都指向「肝內或膽管的結石為遠因」。

預防永遠勝於治療，若能於平日，多執行這個區域（肝、膽、胰、十二指腸區）的清掃工作，相信這種頑固疾病必可迎刃而解。這種肝膽淨化法經濟實惠又簡單，只要小心幾種禁忌，則其他只剩下執行的勇氣、毅力與恆心耳。

基於熱望，欣然推薦此法

基於臨床醫師與實踐預防醫學的熱望，我欣然推薦此書，唯獨對於書中有關大腸灌洗部分，抱持保留的態度，因為曾有病友自行灌腸，卻因操作不當而發生腸穿孔或腹膜炎的意外。因此建議大家可先從第一步「清除肝膽結石的保健法」做起，這是我對讀者所展現的忠誠態度。

新陳代謝症候群，儼然已成為現代人的生活流行病，在困難重重的窘境中，作者為我們找到一條活路，下了一只活棋，使得全盤都解套了。自然療法最大的陷阱就是「依樣畫葫蘆」，只知盲目地做，卻不解其中道理，亦不知可能的風險。莫瑞茲的大作為諸多如我一般，遲遲不敢將此方法付諸實踐者，填補了應有的自信心，期盼樂於一試者，一定先詳閱此書，再放手一搏，必然會包君滿意，實現健康夢想。
