"What did you say?"
"Traditional Chinese dicine can solve diabetic foot? And the cure rate is as high as ninety-two percent?"
"Where is this data from?"
"A paper in the Huaxia dical Journal."
"Let take a look."
"Lu Jiu? Which hospital? Eh? The cooperating hospital even includes Elder Mo from Jinling Central Hospital?"
"Aren’t they from a Western Hospital? How did they get involved in Chinese dicine research?"
"Let’s read the content of the paper first."
"Hiss~~ Severe and mild diabetic foot patients can all be cured!? Is this a bit exaggerated?"
"The paper shouldn’t be fabricated, right?"
"It’s not impossible for papers to be faked, but the Huaxia dical Journal is the country’s top dical journal; if it’s faked, it would be a big issue."
"Hard to say, haven’t there been fake papers in foreign journals too? That Alzheir’s research paper, nearly all the articles were fake."
"Don’t worry, once this paper is published, it will definitely stir up a huge storm dostically, and then there will definitely be people verifying its authenticity."
...
"Director, the latest issue of the Huaxia dical Journal is out; the first paper is about traditional Chinese dicine."
"Oh? Since when did papers in our Chinese dicine field rank so high?"
"It’s a paper researching the treatnt of diabetic foot, with a cure rate as high as ninety-two point five percent."
"What did you say!?"
"Take a look!"
"... It’s true, yes, the data is correct, and the theory is indeed this theory, but using the Vital Energy Warming Formula with sugar to treat diabetic foot, this thod is simply brilliant. Let see who the first author is, Lu Jiu? Which hospital?"
"It should be from Jianghan; you see there’s also a doctor from Jianghan People’s Hospital ntioned later, so this Lu Jiu is likely from Jianghan Hospital of Traditional Chinese dicine."
"Jianghan? Never heard of it."
"A county-level city under Beihu Province."
"County-level city? Just from his analysis of the Chinese dicine theory of diabetic foot, you can see he’s quite capable, and this internal and external treatnt thod is exceptional; why is he staying in such a small place?"
"That, I don’t know."
"Prepare imdiately, and follow the thod described in this paper to treat the diabetic foot patients in our hospital and see if the efficacy is as high as stated in the paper."
"Alright."
...
In Jinling, Wei dical Hall.
"Master Wei, have you seen the latest Huaxia dical Journal? You’d never guess who authored the first paper," said Shang Yehua.
Wei Zhengxian laughed, "I usually don’t read papers; those so-called Chinese dicine papers mostly just repeat what predecessors have done, without any innovation."
To soone of his level in Chinese dicine, most papers are quite amusing.
Because many in Chinese dicine are applying Chinese dical theories to Western disease nas, and research with such an approach, no matter how outstanding the result, is aningless.
People get sick not because of diseases.
Research diseases, use prescriptions to match them, and in the end, forget about the person themselves; how can one grasp the essence of Chinese dicine like this?
"Master Wei, I think you should take a look this ti; the first author of that paper is Lu Jiu," Shang Yehua said.
"Him?" Wei Zhengxian was also a bit puzzled.
He was well aware of Lu Jiu’s level; once he learned The Book of Changes, there wouldn’t be many better than him in Chinese dicine in the country.
"Yes, his paper researches the Vital Energy Warming Formula combined with sugar, treating diabetic foot both internally and externally, with a cure rate of up to ninety-two point five percent. This data is astonishing; it’s the highest cure rate I’ve ever seen in so many papers."
"Actually, I’m quite puzzled too. You often tell us that in treating with Chinese dicine, one must not be fixated on the disease, otherwise you get bound by the disease na and can’t use holistic thinking to dialectically assess the patient’s condition. But how co the thod used by Lu Jiu can precisely treat diabetic foot?"
Shang Yehua was considered a fairly competent doctor in Chinese dicine.
He almost never focused on disease nas when diagnosing.
After analyzing the number of symptoms a patient has, he identifies the primary symptom and prescribes accordingly.
When his skills were not enough, he also obsessed over how to treat specific diseases, resulting in very poor efficacy and recurring symptoms in patients.
Obviously, if you focus on the disease na, you can’t eliminate the fundantal symptom, so no matter how you prescribe, you can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
Because of this experience, Shang Yehua was very curious why Lu Jiu could achieve such a high cure rate by targeting the disease na.
"Vital Energy Warming Formula with sugar?" Wei Zhengxian imdiately understood upon hearing this, "You haven’t grasped his internal and external treatnt mindset; these two things combined, their efficacy is for promoting healing, draining pus and sealing wounds. Even if it’s for a different illness, as long as it needs healing, draining pus and sealing, his thod’s cure rate would be high."
"This kid is clever; he hasn’t fundantally cured diabetic foot; he’s only made it seem cured on the surface, because the core of diabetic foot is patients can’t generate body fluids or excrete excess sugar. But from a modern dical perspective, as long as you heal the patient’s leg, prevent ulceration and pus, that equates to curing the disease."
"If I’m not mistaken, he intends to exploit the modern dical understanding of the disease to attack diabetic foot with Chinese dicine theory at a lower level. If this paper gets attention, more patients with diabetic foot will likely turn to Traditional Chinese dicine Hospital for treatnt."
"Once this expands, and more diabetic patients receive treatnt, the impact on the diabetes market for Western dicine will be devastating. From a human perspective, if a disease can be effectively treated without long-term dication, patients would choose the curative approach, no matter if it’s Chinese or Western dicine."
"His actions could be significantly impacting the market for antidiabetic drugs!"
Wei Zhengxian truly lived up to being a great master in Chinese dicine.
Just from knowing the Vital Energy Warming Formula and sugar, he understood the fundantal role of Lu Jiu’s thod.
He even inferred from its efficacy what Lu Jiu aid to achieve.
Indeed.
From the get-go, Lu Jiu intended to destroy the diabetes market.
But the market was too vast for him to handle alone, so he started with diabetic foot. Once more people knew Chinese dicine could treat diabetic foot, when they got diabetic foot, they would instinctively think of Chinese dicine.
Despite the fact that at this ti, most Chinese dicine practitioners had difficulty managing diabetes, as long as most diabetic foot cases could be handled, quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes.
By then, if patients were diagnosed with diabetes at a hospital, even in the early stages, they might consider whether Chinese dicine could manage it.
Because many would think if diabetes progressed to diabetic foot, a condition even Chinese dicine could salvage, then during the early stages when it’s less severe, there would surely be better thods.
Once this mindset takes root in patients’ minds, the market for antidiabetic drugs would rapidly diminish.
"Master Wei, are you saying Lu Jiu is declaring war on the diabetes market?" Shang Yehua widened his eyes, full of incredulity.
Wei Zhengxian replied, "I’m not sure of his true intent, but from this treatnt thod, even if he didn’t have this plan, he might have no choice in the matter. If Traditional Chinese dicine Hospitals across the country see this paper and conduct extensive clinical trials, the results could be surprising."
"He’s like a person who lit the fire, but the ones adding fuel to it are Chinese dicine practitioners across the country. The diabetes market is too massive; if Chinese dicine can claim so of it, they definitely won’t hold back."
