Krafft's Anomaly Notes

Chapter 17 Smiling Edward
With a sense of familiarity, Kraft continued to scroll down.Next is some content that is suitable for being classified into fantasy and fantasy areas.

White fluid, which is considered in the book to be a viscous and cold liquid, exists in the patient's brain and spinal cord, has calming and stable qualities, and is the basis for the birth of thinking.So once the white liquid is violated, people will show obvious changes in mind.

It ranges from drowsiness and drowsiness to severe babbling and inability to control one's own activities.When the white fluid is depleted, it enters the final stage, and the person becomes comatose, unable to maintain even a minimum level of consciousness.

Considering that white liquor is an icy liquid, it follows that high heat damages white liquor and constantly consumes it.To awaken the patient's consciousness, various methods must be used to cool down and promote the production of white fluid.

At the same time, because it was found that the white fluid of some patients with high fever and confusion would turn yellow and turbid, the author believed that the high fever caused the white fluid to turn into yellow fluid, thereby reducing the amount of white fluid.

As for why it changed to yellow liquid, it is because yellow liquid is a warm and dry liquid.It is produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder. It is the representative of neutral energy in the human body.

This fluid is considered to be related to digestion, and food is dissociated and absorbed in the warm yellow fluid, providing people with the energy necessary to survive.

In addition, the careful author observed a phenomenon that some patients showed symptoms of rough and yellow skin and whites of eyes. According to the traditional theory, this was caused by excessive yellow fluid in the body.However, such patients may suffer from symptoms of malnutrition and edema, as well as anorexia, abdominal distension, and diarrhea after eating greasy food.This completely contradicts the theory.

Seems kind of right, but not quite right.Kraft started scratching his head, and kept the pen and paper beside him for a while, but he still didn't write down a single word.

Remember it, it feels like a waste of paper; don't remember it, and I'm not used to it.

I have to say that although this ancient theory is full of flaws, it is actually quite easy to remember because of its simple connection method.As long as no one is using this thing to cure him, he can have fun watching it.

Finally, looking at the black liquid, it is also a kind of thing that makes Kraft completely unable to find the corresponding existence.It is a heavy fluid that acts in the body as a suppressor against various active properties.

When there is too much black liquid, people will show depression and depression. People who are born with a large proportion of black liquid are generally calm and restrained, and appear a little indifferent. Such people often do not live long.

After all liquids gradually lost their properties, they all transformed into black liquid, just like everything would eventually die.If the black liquid reaches a certain limit, the balance will be completely destroyed, the human body will irreversibly slide to death, and all physiological activities will be terminated.

This is also considered to be the mechanism of death, that is, everything steps into the inert, unchanging side more or less quickly, until the part of the black liquor breaks through the threshold and puts an end to everything.

According to the different properties of these liquids, of course, a more classic link has been reached-the author corresponds the four liquids with the four basic elements based on the idea that people are the core of the world.

Active red fluid corresponds to fire, that is, change and high heat.

White liquor corresponds to water, running continuously but following a fixed path.

Yellow liquid is consistent with air flow and wind, and they are both neutral and balanced mild ingredients.

The black liquid corresponds to the heavy earth, where everything in motion will sleep, and return from motion to stillness.

In this way, a system has been established, and the remaining content is to talk about the derivation and demonstration between diseases and changes in four fluids.

"Forget it, let's read the next one." Kraft closed the book and put it aside.He seems to have found the source of the theoretical basis for bloodletting.Probably the balance of body fluids has been broken, so we can adjust the balance by opening holes in different places and putting some out?Mixing some sayings of letting go of stale blood and expelling harmful factors, it has formed the most popular treatment method at present.

With a headache, Kraft pulled out the next book.

This is "Human Body Structure", and the name may be similar to "Systematic Anatomy", but the church does not allow hands on corpses, and the mainstream thinking of society never approves the behavior of cutting open the body to observe the structure. All such acts will be sent to the stake.

So, the author of this book is either speculative, or he is a thorn in the side of the trial court, a thorn in the flesh, and the gangsters who rob the road are cowardly compared with him.

But still the same sentence, in a boundary like Wendeng Port, it would be great if the people of the church could clean up the bird droppings on San Simeon Square.Not to mention burning at the stake for so many years, not a single torch was lit in the square.As long as the author doesn't dissect it in the street, then probably no one cares.

The opening chapter does not get straight to the point, but symbolically expresses that this book is the author's experience based on his own experience in medical practice after researching and comparing a large number of predecessors' works. There is absolutely no disrespect for the body of the dead.

As for what books he referred to and what kind of medical experience gave him such an understanding, the author said:
It's been too long, I've forgotten it.

Sure enough, when you look at the first picture, you know that the disclaimer has always been a lie.Although not as detailed as the anatomical map formed after great development, this full-body map with half of the bones and half of the attached muscles still basically and completely explains the human body's movement system, and even intimately separates the abdominal muscles from the outside to the inside. , drawn as a layered open look.The internal intercostal muscles and external intercostal muscles distributed between the ribs are even more clearly textured.

After flipping through the book sloppily, Kraft found that it should be the first volume, which mainly talks about how bones and muscles constitute the human body's movement system. The relationship between muscle contraction.

The person who drew the original manuscript illustration must have worked hard, and should have watched it at the dissection site. It may even be the author himself who drew the sketch while dissecting. The process was misplaced due to the misunderstanding of the transcriber.

In Kraft's unknown edition of the transcribed manuscript, the original intention of the author is still accurately expressed.The movement and the corresponding muscle group movement are one-to-one correspondence, even beginners can understand the crux of the movement disorder.

And the third book, of course, is the second volume of "Human Body Structure", which tells the morphological distribution of internal organs and blood vessels.

The author implicitly implies that he has structurally confirmed part of the correctness of the Four Liquids Theory in a fairly credible way.As for the method, it is omitted again.

In short, he did recognize the existence of clear white fluid in the brain and spinal cord, and also confirmed that the yellow fluid comes from the liver, is stored in the gallbladder, and has a way to the intestinal tract.It's just that the black liquid has not been discovered by him yet.

With this basis, the pioneer believes that the traditional theory is not unreasonable, at least to a certain extent confirmed its reliability.

In addition, after analyzing blood vessels, he innovatively proposed a brand new idea, that is, red blood can actually be divided into two types, which flow in different blood vessels.

One type has a tougher and thicker wall, and the other has a weaker wall and a larger lumen, which translates to arteries and veins.But here his train of thought took another fork.

Because the blood vessels of the individual organs of the abdominal cavity converge into the liver, he thinks that the liver may be the governing organ of the venous system, while the arteries belong to the heart, resulting in the view that the two organs jointly control the red blood.

The last chapter of the book still returns to the black liquid.Since the above-mentioned things do exist and can be compared with the theory of four fluids, the author thinks that his work may not be in place, so he did not make up the last link.

It may also be that the theory of four fluids has been circulating for too long, and it has already been different from the original in repeated transcriptions, and the deviation has been continuously enlarged, so that later generations cannot understand it.In the theory of four fluids, there is more than one case of contradictions such as excessive yellow fluid and anorexia of patients, which shows that his guess is not unreasonable.

Black liquor may be a special existence among them. "Black" is only used for naming, not actually referring to color.In other words, it is simply the embodiment of the concept of stillness and restraint, not a specific substance, but he has not realized what is going on, and needs more in-depth research to find out the answer.

The upper and lower volumes of "Human Body Structure" came to an abrupt end, and a mark different from Wendenggang Medical College was left at the end.When copying and copying various works, the makers of manuscripts will definitely leave this mark of authorship out of respect for the author.

It is not difficult for interested learners to see that it is a piece of the fifth cervical vertebra showing a weird smile. In the awl shaped like a grinning mouth, there is the author's scribbled signature: Edward.
