[Video] Ancient TCM herbs heal rare steroid resistant disease IgG4RD--Dr. Ching-Mao Chang x AIDDES
#IgG4RD #IntegrativeMedicine #TCM #AutoimmuneDisease #QJMJournal #TaipeiVGH
💡 When steroid therapy fails and disease markers continue to rise, what is the next step for patients with refractory autoimmune diseases?
In this episode, we dive deep into a groundbreaking clinical case published in the prestigious international medical journal "QJM" by Dr. Ching-Mao Chang's team from the Department of Traditional Medicine at Taipei Veterans General Hospital.
Discover how a 61-year-old male patient suffering from IgG4-related sclerosing mesenteritis, whose serum IgG4 levels continued to climb despite steroid therapy, achieved clinical remission and stable IgG4 levels through integrated Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Western medicine—completely steroid-free and without recurrence.
We’ll break down the science of how multi-target herbal formulas regulate cytokine networks and master immune signaling pathways!

AIDDES Lab — Traditional Chinese Medicine Autoimmune Disease and Dry Eye Syndrome Objective Measurements Laboratory
My clinical and research work focuses on Sjögren’s disease, dry eye disease, autoimmune and rheumatic diseases, integrative Chinese-Western medicine, acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and objective measurement of Traditional Chinese Medicine–related physiological phenotypes.
Our research integrates clinical medicine with modern biomedical approaches, including objective ocular measurements, autonomic nervous system assessment, microcirculation, tongue and pulse diagnosis, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, microbiome research, artificial intelligence, acupuncture, and Chinese herbal medicine.
The goal is simple: to better understand the biological heterogeneity of patients and to develop more precise approaches to integrative medicine.
