This study focuses on the application of TCM diagnostic and therapeutic processes on patients long under our care, spanning years or even decades. During the acute phase of COVID-19, predominantly characterized by the Delta variant in early 2022, we relied solely on TCM\u2019s differential diagnostic-cure process. This involved employing the three spectrums of Superficial-Internal, Cold-Hot, and Deficient-Excess to represent the states of the five organ systems: Heart, Liver, Spleen, Lung, and Kidney. Our therapeutic strategy was aimed at restoring the balance of Qi and Blood, facilitating the optimal circulation of Qi, blood, bodily fluids, and nutrients, thereby enhancing communication between the five organ systems. This balance is hypothesized to promote the emergent effects of human health and activity. For the chronic phase post-COVID-19 infection, many patients exhibited persistent symptoms such as long-term cough and recurrent flu-like infections. Furthermore, pre-existing chronic conditions in these patients appeared to be exacerbated post-infection. This suggests that any compromise in one part of the human body system can significantly diminish the emergent effects of health-related activities. Through the continued application of TCM\u2019s differential diagnostic-cure process, focusing on the balance of the three spectrums within the five organ systems, we observed enhanced emergent effects and recovery in health activities. This paper presents the evidence-based medical observations that underscore the effectiveness of TCM in managing both acute and chronic impacts of COVID-19. By detailing the theoretical basis and practical applications of TCM in this context, we contribute to the broader understanding of integrating traditional medical systems in the treatment of modern pandemics.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3694b84 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3694b84\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cc622ff\" data-id=\"cc622ff\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66111b3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"66111b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Keywords<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-648e97f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"648e97f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5609b19\" data-id=\"5609b19\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-943b2f4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"943b2f4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: justify;\">COVID-19,\u00a0<\/span><span lang=\"en-AU\" style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: justify;\">Traditional Chinese Medicine differential diagnostic-cure process<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-66f861e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"66f861e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7973bf1\" data-id=\"7973bf1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21676c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"21676c7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">References<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-16d9f4a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"16d9f4a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1ba3ccc\" data-id=\"1ba3ccc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-00aef01 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"00aef01\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"text-align: justify;\">WONG TSL, EC Tomas \u9ec3\u708e.
