Over the past ten years of clinical observation, we have a major understanding that chronic Hepatophilic virus disease is the cause of many diseases. We applied this point of view together with the concept of entirety put forward by traditional Chinese medicine and we are able to explain in details the happening, the development, the progress, the prognosis and the treatment of the chronic hepatophilic virus diseases. It also provides a radical ground to explain the theory of “treatment of different disease with the same method” (異病同治) as put forward by TCM.　

It is a very long history that human beings are affected by hepatophilic viruses and caused different types of diseases. It is only with the discovery of electronic microscope that scientists began to identify the different types of viruses and had a better understanding of the development of hepatitis as well as the different syndromes by TCM classification together with the relevant ex-hepato symptoms. It is now important to realize that the non hepatitis virus (ie. non-A non-B non-C type ) which caused pathological changes of the liver may also cause the inflammation of the liver and the change of liver dullness as well as abnormal liver function.　

We believe that when a patient undergone a systemic TCM treatment, the inflamed liver boundary can be returned to normal level. His chief complaints and clinical symptoms can be reduced and may disappear and attain the level of clinically cured. The result will help to improve the well being of mankind so that many common and recurring diseases can be treated correctly without delay. The wide-spread of the concept of systemic TCM Treatment is indeed important and may perhaps help to reduce cirrhosis, liver cancer and other ex-hepatic diseases.
