李勇雨 전 대법관, "법원의 최근 판결 경향을 심각하게 걱정한다."

 

회고록에서:

＂내가 대법원에서 자유 대한민국을 지키기 위하여 심혈을 기울여 선언한 판례들이 철저히 무시당하고 있고, 이로 말미암아 대한민국의 안보와 직결된 남북 간의 핵심쟁점(국가보안법 폐지, 주한미군 철수, 연방제 통일 등)에 대하여 남한을 반대하고 오히려 북한 주장을 추종하는 종북 세력에 대하여 더 이상 ‘종북’이라고 칭하지도 못하게 함으로써 국민들에게 대한민국의 위기에 대한 경각심을 울리는 것조차 금지시키고 있다.＂ (조갑제닷컴)

24년 전 시작한 수능이라는 '괴물', 이제는 사라져야 할 시간

 

 24년을 지속해온 수능은 이미 그 수명을 다했다. 이참에 수능을 폐지하고 절대평가로 자격시험을 실현하고 있는 고등학교 졸업학력 검정고시를 보완하는 게 훨씬 합리적이다. 또한, 대학에 진학하여 더 공부하고 싶은 학생에게는 대학교 각 학과에서 고등학교에서 배우는 과목이 아닌 실제 대학 수학에 필요한 수학능력 시험과목을 요구하게 하는 게 더 합리적이다. 24년 전 시작한 수능이라는 '괴물'이 이제는 사라져야 할 시간이다. (정채관 박사, 조선 펍 발췌)

갈근금련탕은 흔히 여름철 설사가 날 때 생각하는 방제이다. 우리가 흔히 말하는 세균 감염에 의한 설사가 날 때 이 방제가 잘 듣는다. 중요한 것은, 위장이 한습(寒濕)해서 설사가 나는 경우에는, 전에 소개했던 곽향정기산이나 기타 한습을 풀어주는 약을 써야 한다는 것이다.

 

갈근금련탕증은 항문이 肛灼이라고 해서 화끈거리는 감이 있고 변의 냄새가 고약하며, 舌紅苔黃(혀가 붉고 설태가 누렇다)의 증상이 있어야 쓸 수 있다.

【新提醒】黃煌經方醫案——葛根芩連湯合溫膽湯治味覺喪失

 

 

　　案3、葛根芩連湯合溫膽湯治味覺喪實

 

李某，男，70歲。2004年12月25日診於南京中醫藥大學國醫堂門診部。

 

其人體質充實。於2004年4月因腦血栓住院治療22天。慢性萎縮性胃炎伴腸上皮化生史及膽囊炎病史。就診時反應遲鈍，表情呆滯，味覺喪失，食欲不振，納谷不香。心慌心悸，頭暈頭昏，容易煩躁，夜夢多。夜間口渴，饑餓，矢氣多。脈弦，脈搏偏快108次/分。血壓偏高：180-160/90 mmHg。舌淡胖。黃師處以葛根芩連湯合溫膽湯方：葛根30克，黃連3克，黃芩12克，生甘草3克，制半夏12克，茯苓12克，陳皮12克，枳實12克，薑竹茹10克，幹薑6克，紅棗10克。守方半個月復診曰：味覺恢復，納食有味，食欲旺盛，睡眠改善。黃老師囑其不能過食，同時堅持鍛煉思維，多用腦。後一直以本方加味，情況穩定。

 

波按：溫膽湯雖非仲景方，然其配伍嚴謹，方證明確，臨床療效肯定，當視為經方的范疇。本方的經典指征為失眠，多噩夢，眩暈，心悸，易驚恐，可能有惡心嘔吐，或胸悶腹脹，或便秘，舌苔膩。即所謂的肝胃不和，痰熱內擾。適宜本方者大多形體偏胖，膚色紅潤而有光澤，營養狀態較好，但多伴有失眠、頭暈、心悸等症狀，且常伴有恐懼心理，此類人大多無器質性病變，而以精神症狀為突出，故此方為中醫傳統的壯膽劑。適合於葛根芩連湯的大多是體格比較壯實，肌肉相對發達厚實，全身容易困重，尤其易項背強痛不舒者，此與溫膽湯的體質類型有相似之處，故對於溫膽湯證同時伴有頭痛頭昏、口渴煩躁、大便稀者兩方合用當有協同作用，為黃師臨床所常用。對於某單一方證的識別是學習經方的基本功，而經方的難點，當為對藥物的劑量的把握和合方應用了。大多數經方藥味少而往往劑量相對要大些，特別是病急病重者方證明確則要大劑量使用，同時某些關鍵藥物甚至要超大劑量使用，此所謂效宏力專，這需要對方證藥證的全面精細地把握，需要有古人及他人的經驗支持和臨床的反復揣摩。

 

讀後解析：本案是由腦血栓病引起的反應遲鈍，表情呆滯，味覺喪失。既有葛根芩連湯證的體質充實，饑餓，食欲不振，矢氣多，夜間口渴，血壓高，脈數；又見溫膽湯證的心慌心悸，頭暈頭昏，容易煩躁，夜夢多。故黃師用葛根芩連湯合溫膽湯，守方服半個月，味覺恢復。

쌍화탕은 감기약이 아니다.

 

《宋·太平惠民和劑局方》卷五方之雙和湯功能養血和血，益氣溫陽。治虛勞，心腎俱虛，精血氣少，百骸枯瘁，四肢倦怠，寒熱往來，咳嗽咽干，行動喘乏，面色萎黃，或傷于冷，則宿食不消，腹痛，瀉痢吐逆；或傷于熱，則頭旋眼暈，痰涎氣促，五心煩熱；或虛脹而不思食，或多食而不生肌肉，心煩則虛汗盜汗等

 

主治男子、婦人五勞、六極、七傷，心腎俱虛，精血氣少，遂成虛勞。百骸枯瘁，四肢倦怠，寒熱往來，咳嗽咽干，行動喘乏，面色痿黃，略有所觸，易成他疾。或傷于冷，則宿食不消，脾疼腹痛，瀉痢吐逆；或傷于熱，則頭旋眼暈，痰涎氣促，五心煩熱；或因饑飽動作，喜怒驚恐，病隨而至，或虛脹而不思食，或多食而不生肌肉，心煩則虛汗盜汗，一切虛勞不敢服燥藥者，并宜服之。常服調中養氣，益血育神，和胃進食，補虛損。

 

 

쌍화탕은 감기약이 아니지만 오래 동안 우리 나라에서는 감기약으로 먹어왔다. 아마도 과거 궁핍했던 시기에 영양 결핍으로 각종 병에 시달렸던 경험이 작용한 듯이 보인다. 위의 설명에 나와 있듯이, 쌍화탕은 기본적으로 허로虛勞를 치료하는 약이고, 기혈을 보충하는 약이다. 기혈이 부족해서 나타나는 四肢倦怠，寒熱往來，咳嗽咽干，行動喘乏，面色萎黃 등의 각종 증상을 치료한다. 그리고 장복하면 調中養氣，益血育神，和胃進食，補虛損 하게 된다. 따라서 우리가 생각하는 보약의 일종이다.

When Will the European Super-Bubble Pop?

 

•Nick Giambruno

 

 

France’s new president can’t keep the European Union together.

 

In early May, France elected globalist darling Emmanuel Macron. His victory gave the EU a short-term boost. However, it did not change the fundamental problems with Europe’s artificial mega-state.

 

Doug Casey agrees:

 

 

The EU was built upon a foundation of sand, doomed to failure from the very start. The idea was ill-fated because the Swedes and the Sicilians are as different from each other as the Poles and the Irish. There are linguistic, religious, and cultural differences, and big differences in the standard of living.

 

Artificial political constructs never last. The EU is great for the “elites” in Brussels; not so much for the average citizen.

 

Meanwhile, there’s a centrifugal force even within these European countries. In Spain, the Basques and the Catalans want to split off, and in the UK, the Scots want to make the United Kingdom quite a bit less united.

 

You’ve got to remember that before Garibaldi, Italy was scores of little dukedoms and principalities that all spoke their own variations of the Italian language. And the same was true in what’s now Germany before Bismarck in 1871.

 

The chances are better in the future that the remaining countries in Europe are going to fall apart as opposed to being compressed together artificially.

 

I think it’s unlikely the Europe of tomorrow will look anything like the picture below.

 

 

A Fool’s Vision of Europe’s Future

 

Europe is far more likely to splinter and eventually resemble the map below. It shows what Europe would look like if all its current separatist movements were to succeed.

 

 

 

Europe—If All Its Current Separatist Movements Succeed

 

Right Now, Italy is Europe’s Weakest Link

 

Italy has one of the most indebted governments in the world. It’s borrowed over $2.4 trillion. Its debt-to-GDP ratio is north of 130%. (For comparison, the US debt-to-GDP ratio is 104%.)

 

But the situation is actually much worse.

 

GDP measures a country’s economic output. However, it’s highly misleading. Mainstream economists count government spending as a positive when calculating GDP. A more honest approach would count it as a big negative.

 

In Italy, government spending accounts for a whopping 50%-plus of GDP. Remove that from the calculation, and I suspect we’d see how hopelessly insolvent the Italian government truly is.

 

In other words, Italy is flat broke.

 

I don’t see how the Italian government could possibly extract enough in taxes from the productive part of the economy to ever pay back what it’s borrowed.

 

Meanwhile, Italian Government Bonds Are in a Super Bubble

 

They’re currently trading near record-low yields. (When bond prices go up, bond yields do down.)

 

Over $1 trillion worth of Italian bonds actually have negative yields.

 

It’s a bizarre and perverse situation.

 

Lending money to the bankrupt Italian government carries huge risks. So the yields on Italian government bonds should be near record highs, not record lows.

 

Negative yields could not exist in a free market. They’re only possible in the current “Alice in Wonderland” economy created by central bankers.

 

You see, the European Central Bank (ECB) has been printing money to buy Italian government bonds hand over fist. Since 2008, the ECB and Italian banks have bought over 88% of Italian government debt, according to a recent study.

 

This is stunning. It means that Italy’s financial system depends completely on ECB money printing.

 

Italian government bonds are, without a doubt, in super-bubble territory. It won’t be long before a pin pricks this bubble and… pop.

 

That could happen soon.

 

Earlier this month, the credit rating agency Fitch downgraded Italy’s credit rating from BBB+ to BBB.

 

And Mario Draghi, the head of the ECB, recently announced that after five years of manic money printing, he’s finally achieved his wrongheaded goal of 2% inflation.

 

Casey continues:

 

 

Inflation is one of the most misused words; few even think about its actual meaning. What is inflation? “Well, that’s prices going up.” No, it’s not. To say that is to confuse cause and effect. Inflation is an increase in the money supply. You inflate when the money supply is increased by more than real wealth increases.

 

Prices go up as a result. People have forgotten about that. Today, inflation seems to come from out of nowhere, like a freak storm. No cause. Unless it’s blamed on the butcher, or the baker, or an evil oil company. Nobody ever thinks it’s a central bank—the Fed in the US—that actually creates more money, and causes inflation.

 

You’ve heard that central banks are trying to create a little bit of inflation because, they say, “A little bit of inflation is good.” No, even a little bit of inflation is deadly poisonous. For two reasons: It creates the business cycle. And it destroys the value of savings. Saving is the basis of capital creation.

 

People who say that a little inflation is a good thing are dangerous fools.

 

Now that the ECB has reached its 2% inflation target, Germany and other EU countries are pushing the central bank to stop printing so much money.

 

This is the last thing the Italian government wants. Remember, the ECB buys a lot of Italian government bonds with those freshly printed euros.

 

If the ECB stops buying Italian government bonds, who will step up? The answer is nobody. Italian banks are already completely saturated with government bonds.

 

Germany wants the money printing to stop. Italy wants it to continue.

 

But, since the ECB has reached its stated inflation target and Germany has crucial elections later this year, I think Germany will get its way. This is very bad news for Italy’s government and banking system.

 

Once the ECB—the only large buyer—steps away, Italian government bonds will crash and rates will soar.

 

Soon it will be impossible for the Italian government to finance itself.

   

Italian banks—which are already insolvent—will be decimated. They hold an estimated €235 billion worth of Italian government bonds. So the coming bond crash will pummel their balance sheets.

 

It’s shaping up to be a lovely train wreck.

 

I think we’ll see a full-blown crisis in Europe soon.

 

So, why should Americans or anyone outside of Europe care?

 

It’s simple.

 

The EU is the world’s largest economy.

 

The euro currency is the second most widely held currency in the world.

 

Financial chaos in Europe means financial chaos worldwide.

 

The Financial Times commented on what would happen if the EU were to collapse: "It would probably lead to the most violent economic shock in history, dwarfing the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy in 2008 and the 1929 Wall Street crash."

 

A crisis in Europe would send a lethal lightning rod through the world’s currency and stock markets. Unparalleled economic turmoil — far worse than 2008 — could follow.
