a: Anorexia ~
b: alcoholism

What: "Anorexia is like alcoholism in many ways. It is strong, chronic, and vexing, and it defies rehabilitation. There is considerable debate over whether anorexia has a biological base, is an outward symptom of deeper pathology, or is the result of external conditioning in a society obsessed with weight and beauty."

a: Stomach ~
b: the sous-chef

What:

"The Spleen and Stomach are the two primary organs of digestion. The Stomach is like the sous-chef, accepting the food as it comes into the kitchen and chopping it , organizing it, and making it ready for the soup that the Spleen is responsible for cooking. The Spleen is like a bubbling cauldron. As it begins to cook the food sent over (metaphorically-speaking) by the Stomach, steam arises from that bubbling cauldron. The steam is the Qi, or the fuel, that all the other organs in the body need in order to function properly. "
