This repeated continuously, with hospitalizations no less than four or five tis.
Except for the first hospitalization when the disease initially appeared, the other four tis were due to fatigue, dampness, and other relapses.
As for the intervals between hospitalizations, the main ans of temporary recovery during those tis was through taking traditional Chinese dicine.
For instance, during the first hospitalization, since the condition showed no improvent, it was changed to Chinese dicine treatnt.
The main symptoms at that ti were swelling throughout the body, cough, shortness of breath, extrely little urine, difficulty in urination, dizziness, insomnia, a sallow complexion, weak pulse, and reportedly high blood pressure.
Upon hearing these, Lu Xuan was sowhat impressed with Brother Chen. These were things that happened so many years ago, yet he rembered them so clearly. Most people, let alone rember these symptoms, wouldn’t even rember exactly when they were hospitalized.
However, Brother Chen has been either in the hospital or on the way to the hospital over the years, so knowing his physical condition more in detail is normal.
It’s akin to the saying, "Reading a book a hundred tis makes its aning self-evident."
So things, when experienced many tis, are hard to forget.
This thought just flashed through his mind, and he continued to listen to Brother Chen describe his dication situation outside of hospitalization.
After being discharged, he usually sought a traditional Chinese doctor to prescribe Heart Nourishing Soup and Mu Fangji Decoction, with adjustnts and modifications. After taking six doses, the swelling was completely gone, and other symptoms also significantly subsided. He then switched to Golden Cabinet Kidney Qi Pill and Celestial King Heart Supplent Pill, taken in the morning and evening to consolidate the effects.
During continued hospitalization, he often sought traditional Chinese dicine prescriptions from , and each ti he took the dicine, there was a good effect.
But the problem was that the disease was not eradicated at its source. Every relapse made it worse each ti.
Lu Xuan noted down Brother Chen’s condition and the dications he had taken before, but then frowned tightly.
To be honest, the Chinese doctor who prescribed the dicine for Brother Chen did have so expertise. Even if it were him, the prescription would be more or less the sa.
Moreover, the dicines had an effect, which proved that the syndro differentiation was correct. The problem lies in the fact that, despite taking so much dicine, it only treated the symptoms but not the root cause. Not only did it not eradicate the problem, but each relapse worsened the condition. This is completely illogical.
From this point of view, there was an issue with the dicine prescribed.
However, Lu Xuan thought about it and realized it wasn’t necessarily related to the dicines.
Additionally, it wasn’t really the fault of the dicine prescribed; rather, Brother Chen’s habits were part of the problem. His body already had issues, and he continued overworking himself. Even a healthy person would encounter problems if overworked for a long ti, let alone soone already ill.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Xuan concluded it wasn’t an issue with the dicine, but rather that the efficacy was insufficient, which led him to advise Brother Chen, who was looking at him expectantly: "The dicine previously prescribed by your doctor is actually fine. You can continue taking it according to the previous prescription. However, alongside the dicine, you can consider purchasing so moxa sticks to apply moxibustion on the Shenque Acupoint and both Zusanli Acupoints. Do it once a day, seven tis each session, and consu boiled pig heart with water, one each ti, adding vermillion, five qian each ti, and do this twice a week."
"Moxibustion?"
"Eat pig heart?"
"That’s all it takes?"
Brother Chen seed a bit incredulous, after all, Lu Xuan didn’t prescribe any new dicine but suggested continuing with the previous ones while adding moxibustion and pig heart consumption.
Seeing that the other party didn’t understand his words, Lu Xuan didn’t mind but patiently explained: "The Shenque Acupoint is the acupoint of vitality, a foundation for life, located at the center of the Ren ridian, influenced by the innate part, a strong acupoint for all exhaustion and collapse, and an ergency acupoint.
The Zusanli Acupoint treats all diseases, particularly effective in opening and enhancing stomach qi.
The heart governs blood vessels and needs the nourishnt of nourishing blood, which cos from water and grains, relying on stomach qi.
Therefore, strengthening and adjusting stomach qi provides the source of nourishnt for blood and benefits heart activity.
The heart and kidney balance water and fire, rising and falling in harmony.
The heart needs the kidney water to be warm without dryness. Thus, moxibustion on the Shenque Acupoint and Zusanli Acupoint helps in invigorating heart yang, innate kidney qi, and acquired stomach qi, supporting the vitality from its root, thereby restoring the normal function of the heart in coordination with related parts.
The pig heart resonates with heart disease according to organ therapy standards, possibly providing strong support for the heart.
Vermillion, being red, corresponds to the heart and has functions of nourishing the spirit, calming the soul, and promoting blood circulation. It is beneficial for heart heat, heart pain, and heart deficiency. Used together with pig heart, it has the effect of water and fire complenting each other. Since the pig is a water animal and vermillion is fire in stone, this thod has long been passed down and used among the populace.
The aforentioned two thods, one external, one internal, reach the blood vessels from the viscera and ridians. Regulating the blood vessels resolves heart disease, so even with heart failure, one can still recover health. Such is the initial treatnt, and as for the effect, after using this thod for three months, you’ll know. If there’s no recovery in three months, you can co back to the clinic, explain the situation to Uncle Li, and I’ll contact you to understand the situation actively."
Upon hearing this, Brother Chen thought to himself, with just the addition of moxibustion and pig heart, the cost isn’t much, let alone two pig hearts a week—it’s not expensive even if it’s one a day.
Pig heart is sothing many eat, and many don’t; it’s cheaper than at.
The key is that as long as it can cure his illness, that’s better than anything else.
Once healthy, he can work and earn money again.
Brother Chen has a clear understanding of this.
So, Brother Chen voiced his idea: "Would eating one pig heart a day maybe speed up recovery?"
Lu Xuan’s eyes nearly popped out. Is this reckless talk?
Is there really such a way to treat illness?
Lu Xuan’s gaze beca serious: "Brother Chen, you can’t just eat things like that. While pig heart is recomnded for treatnt, overconsumption isn’t good. Eating it twice a week is beneficial for your body and heart, but overeating would not only provide no benefit, it would increase the risk of health issues. Considering you already have a heart problem, overeating pig heart isn’t beneficial, and it won’t speed up recovery.
If eating more could speed up recovery, then you might as well finish the three-month dose in one day and be cured right away?
But in reality, if you really consud a three-month supply in one day, you might not survive."
Brother Chen, realizing he misspoke, looked embarrassed and quickly said, "I was just saying it, I wouldn’t really dare to eat like that."
"Even saying it is not okay." Lu Xuan remained serious. This had to be made clear to prevent any issues, or he would also be held accountable.
Brother Chen quickly agreed.
After paying the consultation fee, he left the clinic with the notes from Ji Xiuwen.
For Brother Chen’s situation, there’s no need to purchase too much dicine. Items such as moxa can be bought online, and pig hearts can usually be purchased from local markets.
Moreover, with a word to the person selling pork, he can set aside two pig hearts each week. Acquiring this is relatively easy.
When Lu Guoquan arrived at the clinic on his little electric scooter, he was stunned.
"There’s actually a queue!!!"
Lu Guoquan still found it hard to believe what Li Feng had said. He’s aware of the situation of their clinic, and even if there were a lot of people, it never reached a point where a queue was necessary, typically averaging around a dozen to twenty people a day at most.
Anjiang County city is not large, yet there are many clinics.
People who don’t like going to hospitals spread themselves among various clinics, leaving only a few at Lu’s Clinic.
But seeing that long queue, Lu Guoquan began to wonder if he had co to the wrong place.
The number of people was overwhelming!
So many that it was frightening!
In any case, Lu Guoquan was sowhat scared by the sight.
