The harm that Western dicine does to your liver and kidneys is considerable. Many doctors actually know about the problems caused by long-term dication because these drugs already have their side effects clearly listed on their packaging.
Many doctors, when prescribing antihypertensive drugs, will also clearly tell you that this stuff has side effects.
But when you have high blood pressure, you can only take this dicine, there's no other choice.
So, even if you know there are side effects, you are still powerless. You just have to wait until you've taken enough and developed other diseases, then take other dicines.
Is Alzheir's disease caused by dication?
Many people will tell you no.
Lu Jiu couldn't give a definitive answer either, but this old man's kidney essence deficiency wasn't caused by an illness.
What disease can relentlessly deplete a person's kidney essence for years?
"Is he still taking it now?" Lu Jiu asked.
"Yes, my dad now doesn't even rember to take his dicine, he forgets every now and then, so my brother and I take turns taking care of him, watching him take his dicine to feel at ease. And it's not just the antihypertensive dication, he also takes huperzine A for treating Alzheir's. In recent years, my dad also has coronary artery disease, and the dicines at ho are almost piling up like mountains. Each ti I make my dad take his dicine, it's like going to war," Kang Peng said with a bitter face.
You can tell.
Lu Jiu knew that this old man's heart wasn't doing well when he took his pulse.
No wonder, having to feed him so many dicines every day, it's strange if the liver and kidneys can handle it. If the liver and kidneys are damaged, how can the heart run away?
"Huperzine A? Stop taking that, it's useless," Lu Jiu said.
"Huh? But the doctor said this dicine is for treating Alzheir's disease." Kang Peng said puzzled.
"That doctor probably didn't tell you. Last year, it was revealed internationally that the first author to identify the cause of Alzheir's disease, also known as Alzheir's, was suspected of falsifying his papers. It's been about sixteen or seventeen years since then, so all the dications developed from his research are fake. Taking them not only doesn't help but causes considerable harm to the body," Lu Jiu said.
This matter, in fact, was sothing Lu Jiu also saw while working at the hospital.
At the ti, everyone in the hospital was discussing this topic.
The cause was a deep investigation report titled "A Stain on the Scientific Community," published by Science magazine, pointing out that a foundational paper from 16 years ago in the field of Alzheir's disease was suspected of being fraudulent. Not only that, but the first author of that paper, Sylvain Lesné from the Yingdi University of Minnesota, was accused of academic misconduct in more than 20 papers.
His most important paper provided strong support for the mainstream hypothesis of Alzheir's disease, the "β-amyloid hypothesis," resulting in countless subsequent studies using his hypothesis for verification. To this day, that paper has been cited over 2300 tis, and all Alzheir's dications developed by pharmaceutical companies are based on the β-amyloid hypothesis.
Along with the continual increase in Alzheir's patients and the imnse market demand, the World Alzheir's Disease Report indicates that as human life expectancy increases, globally, about one person is diagnosed with Alzheir's every three seconds. It is expected that by 2050, the number of Alzheir's disease patients will increase to 152 million.
With such a huge market space and a rigid demand, pharmaceutical giants are plunging into the field of drug research and developnt.
But until today, there is absolutely no specific drug that can cure Alzheir's disease. Over the past twenty years, more than a hundred new drugs have been developed and failed, with a clinical failure rate of 97.3%, regarded as an "abyss" of the industry.
This neurologist? He garnered over hundreds of billions in investnts and earned countless dical-related awards.
As for whether he was sanctioned, Lu Jiu had no way of knowing.
In short, all the dications presently on the market claiming to treat Alzheir's are useless.
This is beyond doubt.
"Huh? Why didn't they tell , my dad has been taking it for years!" Kang Peng was sowhat angry.
Lu Jiu said, "You can't bla him either. This information only ca out last year."
"So what should we do now, Dr. Lu?" Kang Peng seed a bit anxious, and his brother Kang Xuan was also nervously watching Lu Jiu.
It's hard not to be angry as a son, knowing that your dad has been taking fake dicine for years for no reason.
But they have no other options, and as Lu Jiu said, it's not the doctor's fault either because they didn't make the dicine.
"Given your dad's current condition, the best advice I can offer is to stop any dicine that isn't necessary. The huperzine A you ntioned can be completely stopped. As for the heart disease dication that hasn't been taken for long, I can try to gradually get your dad off it through treatnt, and then figure out a way to solve the antihypertensive dication issue. As you've ntioned, your dad has been on this dication for over thirty years, and you understand well without my saying how deeply the disease accumulates under continuous antihypertensive therapy. To adjust everything to perfect health is impossible, I can only say I'll try my best to prevent the further deterioration of your dad's condition. As for whether his Alzheir's can improve, I can't guarantee." Lu Jiu said.
When the Five Viscera are all damaged, and the Kidney Essence is deficient, it has severely exhausted the innate condition.
Moreover, given the elderly's age, the function of the Spleen and Stomach isn't good. Even if it is adjusted, the circulation of Qi and blood isn't as fast as in young people.
Without sufficient nutrition in the body, even the potency of the dication can't be realized, leaving Lu Jiu to resolve the side effects brought on by Western dicine.
The complexity of this issue is no less than cancer, or more accurately, it is more complex than cancer.
Many cancer patients have clear minds, and as long as they restore their Gastric Qi, maintaining normal Spleen and Stomach function and ensuring the patient's voluntary intake of food to sustain the Qi and blood supply to the Five Viscera, at least there's a direction to adjust.
For Alzheir's patients, their perception is already unclear. Sotis they even forget if they have eaten and can't tell if they're hungry, basically having lost part of their sensory capacity by then.
But luckily, this old man still retains mobility. Once reaching a late stage and losing all ability, that's when it's really troubleso.
At least for Lu Jiu, he wouldn't have any solutions by then.
"Dr. Lu, is that the only option?" Kang Xuan, with a look of expectation, clearly felt Lu Jiu had more capacity than he disclosed. Having observed for so long, he completely trusted Lu Jiu's dical skills. Then why is it that this Alzheir's disease, which only causes mory loss, is hard to cure, when cancer, a life-threatening disease, seems manageable? "Don't they all say you can cure cancer? This illness shouldn't be that difficult for you."
Lu Jiu gave a helpless smile, "The difficulty of an illness isn't judged like this. In Traditional Chinese dicine, treating an illness depends on whether the body's balance can be restored. If it can, then regardless of whether it's a terminal illness or not, there is treatnt. If not, then even a minor illness can be beyond help."
"Cancer is certainly feared, but as long as Traditional Chinese dicine can adjust the balance of the Five Viscera well, even with cancer cells present, the patient's life won't be affected, making them no different from normal people. Conversely, although Alzheir's disease isn't fatal, if the Five Viscera can't be balanced, then there is nothing that can be done about it."
"Your dad has been on dication for too long, the drugs have replaced kidney function, and the kidneys are severely depleted. Added to this, your dad had kidney stones at one ti, and given his senior age now, it's very hard to tone up the kidneys, let alone adjusting the balance of the Five Viscera. Under this situation, being able to alleviate the harm dication does to your dad is already a great effort; to further progress or to cure your dad is to overestimate my abilities."
Even knowing about the kidney stones?
Kang Xuan was presently too astonished to speak even half a word.
From Lu Jiu's words, he heard two words.
Sincerity!
But this response sowhat let him down.
Kang Peng patted Kang Xuan on the shoulder, earnestly looked at Lu Jiu and said, "Dr. Lu, we understand your intention, this illness indeed is very hard to cure. I understand, we're already grateful for your trying. As long as my dad's condition doesn't worsen, we have no further expectations."
Before the two brothers ca, they never thought Lu Jiu could cure him, just stirred by how impressive Lu Jiu was during the consultation, the inner feelings surfaced a bit. After listening to Lu Jiu's words, even without a dical background, Kang Peng understood the aning behind Lu Jiu's words.
