The following information, taken from a technical site on Chinese medicine, shows that the Eastern medicinal system corroborates the talmudic dictum that 99 men out of 100 die from spilling too much seed. As in the Kabbalistic system, Semen is seen as the essence of a man's lifeforce, and wasting it a terrible health hazard. It is similar to what the Rambam writes:

"Semen is the energy of the body and the light of the eyes. As long as it is excreted in excess the body withers and life is lost. All those that are saturated in this, old age jumps on them, his strength leaves him, his eyes go weak, bad breath pours out of his mouth. His hair and eyebrows fall out, the hair of his legs and armpits become thick and his teeth fallout. Many additional health problems occur."
