If the Spirit-Qi becomes frail then the overall body function will be devastated. Individuals who have Alzheimer s disease reflect a severely weak Shin, i.e., they have little initiative, weak reasoning capabilities, and are not able to make rational decisions. Consequently, Shin deteriorates. The weakened Qi directly affects the central part of the body, thereby weakening the digestive system. This weakening of the digestive system naturally results in malnutrition.
Malnutrition severely deprives the body of Jung.
This consequently weakens Jung-Qi and weakens the person s Shin. As a person ages, Jung-Qi naturally weakens, thereby weakening the person s Shin, and consequently weaken the function of the entire body. This deteriorating trend is especially evident when the person begins to exhibit the phenomena of dementia. More specifically, memory loss, fright, insomnia, irritation, outbursts of anger, and incessant delirious talking. These symptoms are especially common among Alzheimer s disease patients.
