Holding the Formula
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
In treating chronic diseases, if the formula matches the pattern, even if the short-term effect is not obvious, one should persist with the original prescription and not change medications frequently.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
Time compounding. Treating major illnesses is like cooking a small fish. If the direction is right, let the bullet fly for a while. Frequently changing formulas (trying this today and that tomorrow) is the most common mistake of novices: 'disturbing the system'.
Anchor fast decisions
If the direction (formula-pattern) is correct, system improvement requires time accumulation; frequently changing medications (disturbing the system) interrupts compounding. Holding the formula means giving the correct strategy enough time, avoiding novice-like repeated disturbances.
