《内经·素问》气厥篇第三十七中记载:“黄帝问曰:五脏六府,寒热相移者何?歧伯曰:…………大肠移热於胃,善食而瘦,又谓之食亦。胃移热於胆亦曰食亦”。诊馀往顾,自1972年至1978年以来所治食亦证中有25例临床表现为甲状腺机能亢进者颇有探讨价值。因为食亦证为中医一个病证,就其表现可在现代医学的许多疾病中出现,而这25例食亦证患者都有较完备的资料。据症状,体徵及同位素碘~(131)吸收率测定可以确定甲亢的诊断。食亦证的两个方面:食量增大,消瘦,在患者中都是同时共存的,所以食亦证的诊断根据也是充足的。 “Nei Jing Su asked” gas Jue chapter thirty-seventh recorded: “Yellow Emperor asked said: five internal organs and six houses, cold and heat phase shift who? Qi Bo said: ............ colon heat in the stomach, good food and thin, Also known as food also. Stomach heat in the bile also said food is also ”. In the past few years, more than 25 cases of hyperthyroidism were diagnosed and treated since 1972 to 1978. Because food is also evidence of TCM as a syndrome, its performance can be seen in many diseases of modern medicine. However, these 25 cases of patients with syndromes have more complete information. Symptoms, signs and isotopes of iodine ~ (131) absorption rate determination can determine the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism. Two aspects of food evidence: food intake increases, weight loss, in patients are co-exist at the same time, so the diagnosis of food is also evidence based enough.
