(Shared by Mr. Chen Guotai)
In his early years, Dr. Chen Yikui worked in the Department of Pharmacy of Taipei Medical College and led the students' food internships. He is unique in the environment of the institute. In addition, he is smart and hardworking, and he is diligent in studying the traditional Chinese five techniques and culture, as well as in-depth discussions on the Compendium of Materia Medica of the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classics. It also has the profound foundation of the Yijing culture of Yin-Yang, Five Elements, Eight trigrams, and extensive knowledge of Western medicine and nutrition. He created his innovation in food culture, his unique insights, combined with the traditional Chinese Five Techniques and food culture, created the pioneer of the "Six Techniques Culture".
Teacher Chen Yikui has the courage to know others, dare to try, taste more than 300 kinds of Chinese medicine materials, record them, and apply what he learns. He understands Chinese medicine better than ordinary Chinese medicine doctors.
From ancient Chinese medicine, he learned what to eat to replenish what to eat, such as eating liver to replenish the liver, eating heart to replenish the heart, with the liking of Bazi, teaching people to swallow the internal organs of pigs and the catalysis of flavored tea. The effect is very significant. Due to the changes of the times, the pigs raised by farmers in the early years have undergone qualitative changes from pigs that have used a lot of antibiotic feed today. He also noticed that coupled with the increasing number of vegetarians, he recommended various plant-derived vitamin pills, which are in line with modern times for people in the needs of hygiene, safety and convenience.
From the early years of the complexity of ten stem twelve branch pills, to today's simple use of 8KS (multi-vitamin group recommended by Master Chen Yikui). Let the stomach and intestines automatically absorb the required ingredients, and avoid the difficulty of looking at the horoscope and the differences of opinions, which shows how attentive and considerate teacher Chen Yikui is.
His "lard-eating culture" is his long-term observation and research and discovery. His grandmother and mother refused to eat salad oil and only ate lard, and everyone lived to be over ninety years old and died without disease.
He discovered from Western medical literature that the most valuable saffron was eaten by Western emperors, nobles and monks. It has a dredging effect on the capillaries and has a preventive function on cerebral hemorrhage and stroke.
He has special research on eggs, and he is alone in disagreement. He eats a lot of eggs, from boiled eggs to tea eggs to Chu yeast tea eggs, his research found eating more eggs is of great help to people's wisdom and memory, and people are encouraged to eat more egg yolks.
His view on diet is to eat more vegetables and seasonal fruits and not be picky eaters. If you do not eat a certain food, you will lack that kind of nutrient and cause personality defects.
He believes that the supply of various vitamins must be sufficient for people's luck to improve.
Diet research is Teacher Chen's most proud experience, and it has indeed changed the destiny of mankind.
