During treatment the sore in the human body is moved from up to down, from inside to outside, or from important organs to minor organs. This method can cure not only sore, but also other malignant tumors. Theoretical Basis: Making use of the law of the circulation of the channels and collaterals. Making use of the stability, everlasting, and effectiveness of medicaments to direct the epidemic pathogenic facts down or out. Making use of the physical effect of special tools to scratch on skin. Benignant Movement of Steatoma Sebaceous Cyst - Clincal Data: Since 1985, I've treated 13 cases. Among them, two were 28 to 30 years old, five were 30 to 40 years old, and six were over 40 years old. The youngest was 28, and oldest 68. As for the course of disease, the shortest was three years, and the longest was five years. The cysts were in the cervical vertebra, upper limbs and lower limbs. The largest was of the size of a duck's egg, and the smallest of a walnut. Nine of them had painful feeling under pressure. Treating Method: Leading epidemic pathogenic factors to move along channels: Use a special tool to lead the scratch along channels. Medical herbs most in use: Ingredient: Sanguia draconis, Lignum sappan, Flos carthami, Borneol, Tou Gu Cao. First borneol was dissolved in ethyl alcohol, and then water added to soak other herbs for future use. If steatoma sebaceous cyst was in the bladder, helical scratch along the Du Channel and Bladder Channel was done. Then balance liquid was applied to lead epidemic pathogenic factors downward. Local treatment A cyst was lifted and a fire needle was inserted. After the needle was out, some toothpaste stuff was discharged. Treatment was given again. Result of Treatment: Ten out of thirteen cases are fully recovered, which means the rate of recovery is 76%, and two are effective, one fails to respond. The rate of effectiveness is 92%. The effectiveness has a close relation with the course of disease and thickness of tissues. Besides, the skill is also very important, especially the degree of heating of needling and the direction of sty. Usually, it is better to put sty downward, and to release epidemic pathogenic factors partly. Generally, one can recover fully after one to two treatments.
