Outside the clinic room, Mo Linxun and others, who had been observing, were dumbfounded when they heard Lu Jiu ntion that the patient had retinal pignt degeneration.
They were all stunned.
Even though he’s not a Western dicine practitioner, Wen Congyi, who has been dealing with hospitals for a long ti, also knew that this disease is called eye cancer in dical terms.
But looking at Lu Jiu’s deanor, it seed like eye cancer wasn’t a troubleso disease for him?
"Elder Mo, isn’t retinal pignt degeneration said to be completely incurable?" Liu Xing asked.
Mo Linxun said, "That’s the conclusion of modern dicine; as for traditional Chinese dicine, I’m not sure."
Feng Shaohua said, "Retinal pignt degeneration is a genetic disease. Any genetic disease is considered incurable, which is a consensus in dicine. If he were using acupuncture and herbal dicine, I might find it more credible, but it seed like he just asked the patient to practice exercises, right? This makes sowhat skeptical of him, and he did seem too nonchalant about it."
Mo Linxun said, "He did seem too relaxed."
Seeing that the others seed to sowhat underestimate Lu Jiu, Lu Feng, standing beside them, also felt a bit displeased.
Although these people were experts and professors from Jinling, after all, they weren’t his superiors. It was fine to show so respect, but if they doubted his nephew, he had to step up and explain.
"Elder Mo, you might not have a complete understanding of Lu Jiu. My nephew can not only treat stroke and paralysis but also various cancers. There was once a patient diagnosed with breast cancer at the People’s Hospital who completely recovered after receiving treatnt from him. Currently, there are two or three cancer patients undergoing treatnt with him, and it is said they are doing quite well. I think, based on his level, he isn’t prone to deceiving patients." Lu Feng said.
Lu Feng would occasionally call Lu Jiu for a chat, so he had so understanding of his work.
However, his words imdiately astonished everyone.
What!?
Upon hearing this, Mo Linxun and the others had varying expressions.
"Was the breast cancer early-stage or late-stage?" Mo Linxun asked with so urgency.
Lu Feng said, "It seed to be early-stage, just discovered."
Phew~
Early-stage!
Really frightening!
To be honest, early-stage breast cancer isn’t scary.
Surgical removal can also be a treatnt.
But if herbal dicine can eliminate cancer without needing surgery, that doesn’t seem simple either!
"Hehe, Elder Mo, Lu Jiu can not only treat cancer; a while ago, a TV station reported on a group of more than ten children with cerebral palsy from our welfare institute. It was Lu Jiu who led a team for a free clinic. After about a month of treatnt, so children who previously could only lie in bed are now able to crawl freely on the bed. Look, I have a video right here." Gu Jun clearly noticed that Mo Linxun and others seed to underestimate Lu Jiu a bit. Even though Lu Jiu wasn’t a doctor from a public hospital, he was still part of their Jianghan dical system and should not be looked down upon, even by people from Jinling!
Everyone imdiately huddled around, seeing Gu Jun’s phone playing a special report shot by a TV station.
In the video, Xie Xiao and several doctors, along with Lu Jiu, are performing object moxibustion on the children with cerebral palsy.
Perhaps because the TV station had also previously fild the welfare institute, they even have footage of so of the children from before.
As the before-and-after footage appeared in the video, everyone could see quite clearly how the vitality of these children increased!
Whether in terms of physical movents or eye contact, the sluggishness seed to have diminished.
Seeing these changes, Mo Linxun and others exclaid in disbelief!
It’s cerebral palsy!
A disease caused by congenital genetic defects!
It’s also widely recognized as an incurable genetic disease.
Yet now, these doctors have restored the mobility of the limbs of children with cerebral palsy.
This is outrageous!
Even the best rehabilitation training available cannot achieve this level of improvent!
Seeing the footage, Feng Shaohua realized his previous remarks were indeed sowhat arrogant.
He instinctively thought of retinal pignt degeneration as a terminal illness and prejudged Lu Jiu’s ability.
In so ways, it was also a bit like seeing the sky from the bottom of a well!
But he indeed couldn’t understand why Lu Jiu seed so lighthearted when facing such a disease.
Where did this confidence co from?
Traditional Chinese dicine theories?
The sugar therapy paper, the reason they found it interesting was largely because they could understand it.
After all, it includes descriptions from both traditional Chinese dicine and Western dicine, along with experintal data.
But now, a series of diseases, which in their view are incurable or not even alleviable, have miraculously improved under traditional Chinese dical treatnt.
This undoubtedly exceeded their scope of understanding.
If not for their years of humble conduct keeping their emotions in check, they might have exclaid impossible on the spot after seeing the video on Gu Jun’s phone.
"Remarkable!" Wen Congyi was greatly shocked after watching.
Mo Linxun shook his head, "It’s not remarkable; Chinese dicine shouldn’t be summarized as remarkable, it’s just that we don’t understand it."
He always thought that if every ti Chinese dicine cured a patient, it was called remarkable, and doctors were referred to as miracle doctors; it would be detrintal to the developnt of Chinese dicine.
Chinese dicine shouldn’t be exclusive to a few people, so standardization is very necessary, and the term "miraculous" is precisely the biggest obstacle to standardization.
"Are you from the Huaxia dical Journal?"
While everyone was gathered watching the video, Lu Jiu walked out of the clinic room.
After completing the acupuncture, Lu Jiu also prescribed dicine for the patient. Once the patient left, he tidied up and prepared to finish for the day when he saw a group of people still standing outside the clinic room.
No need to say, Lu Jiu had already guessed the identity of these people because Lu Feng had greeted him about them earlier.
Upon hearing him, Liu Xing stepped forward and extended his hand, "Hello, I’m Liu Xing, the chief editor of the Huaxia dical Journal."
Lu Jiu shook his hand, "Hello, Chief Editor Liu."
Liu Xing then introduced the team to Lu Jiu, "This is Elder Mo, Mo Linxun, a rehired professor at Jinling Central Hospital, this is Feng Shaohua, the vice president of Jinling Rehabilitation Hospital, this is..."
Once Liu Xing completed the introductions, Lu Jiu greeted each of them one by one.
From what he could tell, their identities were not low; most were professors.
The fact that a paper could bring them here was indeed a bit surprising to Lu Jiu.
"Please, co inside. Feel free to ask anything you’d like to know." Lu Jiu said.
Everyone followed Lu Jiu into the clinic room and casually sat down on stools they found there.
Liu Xing, as the representative for this trip, was the first to speak, "Dean Lu, it’s like this: we have read your paper, and we are very surprised by the efficacy of sugar. We ca here hoping to learn more about the potential benefits of sugar for diabetes patients. For instance, if a patient already has diabetic foot, does using sugar an their legs can be indefinitely preserved from decay? After all, the paper did not include a long-term follow-up experint on diabetic foot."
Ah, this issue.
Lu Jiu replied, "In theory, it’s feasible, but diabetic patients need to take hypoglycemic drugs every day. Even if their legs are preserved, their mobility will be impaired. If we don’t address diabetes at the root, from the Five Viscera, simply patching it up with sugar will still lead to problems over ti."
Everyone nodded.
They had also anticipated this possibility.
Liu Xing continued to ask, "Then how long can sugar maintain this preservation? To put it simply, if a patient’s foot begins to ulcerate, how long can sugar preserve it?"
Lu Jiu shook his head, "Sorry, I haven’t encountered such cases, nor treated them in this way, so I can’t provide an answer."
In fact, even if Lu Jiu were given a diabetic foot patient now, he wouldn’t know the answer.
Because when treating diabetes, he would never just treat the leg.
Mo Linxun obviously understood Lu Jiu’s point, "Dean Lu, I don’t know how traditional Chinese dicine treats diabetes, nor do I know if the process involves diabetic patients, but considering the current dical environnt, most diabetic patients won’t likely opt for traditional Chinese dicine treatnt. Once they undergo Western dicine treatnt, so patients will inevitably develop complications like diabetic foot."
"The reason we want to find out how long sugar can preserve a patient’s leg is to explore using simple thods to reduce dical costs and alleviate the financial burden on patients. Therefore, we aim to experint in this direction in the future. However, we don’t know much about sugar, which is why we ca to consult you in hopes that your experience can help assess whether this research is viable."
Oh?
This is indeed an area worth exploring.
As long as the patient’s leg doesn’t continue to ulcerate, amputation wouldn’t be necessary.
Even if mobility is limited, it’s better than losing a leg.
"If it’s just about preserving the leg, I do have a thod that integrates internal and external treatnt, but I’m not sure if you’re willing to study it."
