I can talk to my internal organs

Chapter 178 Dementia

"Dad, watch out for the steps."

"Brother, can Chinese medicine treat Dad's disease?"

"I don't know, I can only try. I heard from Uncle Wang that Dr. Lu can even cure cancer. If there is dementia, there should be hope."

"It's true to say so, but I always feel that it's a bit outrageous. We have lived in Jianghan for so many years, but we have never heard of a powerful Chinese medicine doctor. This one suddenly appeared, and he was only in his twenties. How do you hear it? They all feel a little unreliable.”

"Whatever it is, let's talk about it after reading it. If it doesn't work, you will lose a few thousand yuan. If you cheat, you will cheat. As long as there is any hope, we have to try. Dad has been lost three times. It's all because of luck. Good-hearted people saw that they made a call, what if they are not so lucky next time?"

"That's right, hey, I can see that he is treating people, let's see."

Outside the Lu's Medical Center, the father and son were queuing up.

The old man standing between the two brothers is obviously not young, his hair is thin and white, his body is thin, his eyes are sometimes clear but chaotic, his eyes are always looking at one place, but if you look closely, you will find his eyes There is no focus at all.

There is also a sign hanging on the chest of this uncle, with his name, home address, and phone number written on it.

The two brothers were standing outside the medical hall at the moment, looking at Lu Jiu's pulse as curiously as everyone else.

"How long have you been taking antihypertensive drugs?"

"Two years."

"Did you feel a little insomnia in addition to dizziness recently, and chest discomfort before going to bed at night?"

"exactly."

"Do you have tinnitus?"

"Have."

"Do you always like to lose things and forget things recently?"

"Doctor Lu, can you see this too?"

"Hehehe, there is no need to be so strange. Judging from your current physical condition, it should be due to the imbalance of yin and yang, internal blood stasis, coupled with hyperactivity of liver yang and deficiency of kidney yin, resulting in a disharmony between the heart and the kidney. A series of physical discomforts, high blood pressure is only an external manifestation of physical symptoms, although antihypertensive drugs have lowered blood pressure, but the fundamental problem has not been solved, so after two years, your condition has not only not improved, but worsened Oh no."

"Then what should we do, Doctor Lu?"

"Don't panic, I didn't say it can't be cured, it's just that it will be more complicated, and it will take a long time. I hope you can be mentally prepared for this."

"If you can cure it, you can cure it."

"Okay, you go and sit down, I'll give you a few needles first."

Recently, more and more patients with diabetes and high blood pressure have come to the clinic for treatment.

These two diseases are not difficult for Lu Jiu now. Basically, a dose of Baihu Ginseng Decoction can solve the symptoms of most diabetic patients, and it is a radical cure.

Of course, in the process, syndrome differentiation and treatment must be based on the patient's condition. The prescription is the same, but the addition and subtraction of the dosage and medicinal materials can be varied.

But in general, white tiger ginseng soup is the main one.

But there are exceptions.

For example, some patients who take hypoglycemic drugs all the year round have been taking them for 20 years. For such patients, Lu Jiu would suggest that if there is no obvious discomfort in the body, it is better not to use traditional Chinese medicine.

Once drug resistance occurs, it will be too difficult and risky to completely adjust to a healthy state.

It wasn't that Lu Jiu was unwilling, but that the patient's entire body was riddled with holes. The safest way was to mend the holes.

Traditional Chinese medicine is not a magic medicine. When a certain function of a patient has been replaced by medicine for 20 years, the role of traditional Chinese medicine will naturally be limited.

In the same way, if a hypertensive patient has been taking antihypertensive drugs for 20 years, it will be very troublesome to treat. If the patient has no particularly serious problems, Lu Jiu will also persuade him not to try traditional Chinese medicine, but if the patient has already developed Symptoms that affect life, no matter how troublesome, you have to try.

It’s funny to say that a few years ago, the Huaxia Cardiovascular Disease Center, together with many cardiovascular disease branches and other institutions, jointly formulated the "Huaxia Hypertension Clinical Practice Guidelines", which directly lowered the diagnostic criteria for adult hypertension from ≥140/90mmHg to ≥130/80mmHg.

As soon as this standard came out, many people began to panic.

Because if this indicator is determined, then there are only more than 5 million hypertensive patients, which will double overnight to more than [-] million, which is equivalent to one-third of the entire population of China, all becoming hypertensive patients.

In fact, this standard was first issued by the Eagle Emperor Heart Association. After a few years, some domestic experts carried it over and formulated this standard in a serious manner.

Although many hospitals have not adopted this new standard to define hypertensive patients clinically, such news still makes many people suspect that they are sick all day long.

When Lu Jiu reads these news, he often laughs. There are always some people who try to use data to control people's health, completely ignoring the human body's own ability to regulate, and never delving into why high blood pressure occurs. Anyway, if the value is wrong, you will ill.

How to say that sentence, you are sick, very sick, I have medicine, medicine is very expensive!

Ha ha.

The health of co-authors is not decided by their own feelings, but by machines and data.

The point is that there are a lot of people who believe in these things.

The process of needling is not complicated, and Lu Jiu basically adopts the method of calming the liver, suppressing yang, and harmonizing qi and blood.

As long as the patient's liver yang is adjusted, the liver's catharsis function returns to normal, and then the qi and blood are smoothed, then the load on the heart will be reduced, and the blood pressure will naturally go down. Treat the patient's entire body.

After more than ten minutes, Lu Jiu drew the needle.

Then he grabbed three packages of medicine and gave them to the patient, and after a few instructions, he began to call the next patient to come forward.

Time passed by minute by minute.

There was only one patient left in front of the father and son who were outside.

During this period, they also really saw the power of Lu Jiu, especially the skill of feeling the pulse with one hand. The patient didn't say anything, but he could clearly point out what went wrong with the patient as soon as he raised his hand, almost never making mistakes. This really surprised the two brothers, and they naturally added three points of trust to Lu Jiu's medical skills.

……

"Next person."

Here we come!

When the two brothers heard this, they immediately stepped forward.

Lu Jiu looked at the three of them, and looked up and down the old man.

The eyes are dull and lifeless, this is...

"What's the situation with this uncle?" Lu Jiu asked.

Brother Kang Peng said, "Doctor Lu, my dad has Alzheimer's disease, do you think there is a way?"

Alzheimer's disease?
The disease of dementia was first seen in the Ming Dynasty.

From Zhang Jingyue's "Jingyue Quanshu Miscellaneous Zhengmo".

How to say this disease, it is not a single symptom, but the pathogenesis should be in the kidney.

Among the cases recorded by many doctors in history, there are very few cases of this kind of disease. Whether it is in times of war or peace and prosperity, there is no record of a large number of long-lived elderly people suffering from dementia.

Lu Jiu said, "Let me take a pulse first."

Kang Peng said, "Yeah."

With that said, Kang Peng picked up his father's arm and put it in front of Lu Jiu.

Lu Jiu grabbed the uncle's wrist and began to diagnose...

"Heart fire, is there still no way to wake up the kidney water? It hasn't spoken for a long time, and it won't work if it continues like this." Pi Tu asked.

"It's very difficult. Its small essence bank has been completely empty, and those medicines have hurt it too much, and it can't recover at all." Xinhuo said.

"It's not just it, I'm the same. Since he started taking those medicines, my condition has gotten worse and worse, and so has the kidney water. After those medicines came in, he caught me attacking with him, but these medicines seem to With kidney water, my pressure is much less." Gan Mu said.

"You mean Nifedipine Sustained-release Tablets? I also feel that drug. It seems to be replacing the function of kidney water, while stealing the small essence bank of kidney water." Xinhuo said.

"That's right, even my catharsis function has been reduced a lot because of it. It's a bit difficult to get rid of it, and it comes in every day. It's annoying." Gan Mu said.

"I remember that Kidney Water said that the thing had accumulated a lot of stones, didn't they get rid of some after surgery?" Fei Jin said.

"It's not thorough. The operation just smashed the stones. The drainage doesn't mean I have to drain the kidney water. The key point is that our function has declined, and the drainage can't be clean. The medicine is still coming in every day to prevent the kidney water from exerting itself. function, how could it be discharged cleanly." Gan Mu said.

"But we can't stop it from coming in." Pitu said.

"So, just do your own thing well. If you can't save your kidney water, you won't be able to save it. If it's a big deal, don't live." Xinhuo said.

"You're here again..." Pi Tu said.

medicine?
Lu Jiu remembered that Nifedipine Sustained-release Tablets should be an antihypertensive drug.

Judging from the pulse condition, this uncle does have symptoms of high blood pressure, and taking antihypertensive drugs is indeed in line with the hospital's treatment method.

And judging from the dialogue of the five internal organs, the uncle had kidney stones before. Although he had undergone stone crushing surgery, it seemed that the treatment was not thorough.

In addition, Lu Jiu also felt that the function of the uncle's kidneys was extremely weak, and the other five internal organs were also damaged.

"The Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine" has a saying: "When a person is born, he first becomes refined, and when he becomes refined, his brain grows."

Among the five internal organs, the kidney stores the essence, which is the foundation of the innate, and the kidney essence produces the brain.

If the kidneys are too severely damaged, the kidney essence will be insufficient, the marrow will be empty, and it will not be able to ascend to the brain, and the mental mechanism will not function well, so it is not surprising that it will lead to dementia.

Of course, damage to the kidneys is not the only cause of dementia. The spleen is the foundation of the acquired constitution, the source of qi and blood biochemistry. Supplement and nourish the innate foundation, on the other hand, phlegm turbidity, water dampness blinds the clear orifices.

The liver governs catharsis, unblocks the whole body's qi, and plays a regulating role in emotional activities. If the liver fails to dredge, the emotions will not be satisfied, and the liver fire will be inflamed, and the qi will be out of balance, and qi stagnation and blood stasis will lead to insufficient liver blood and inability to ascend. There is no way to nourish the brain.

The heart governs the blood vessels, and the heart qi can promote the circulation of the blood. At the same time, the heart is the "master of the internal organs". All mental activities cannot be separated from the master of the heart. The spirit of all thinking activities is attached to the blood vessels, so the lack of heart blood and the lack of nourishment of the mind , abnormal mental activity such as trance, irritability and insomnia will appear. Insufficiency of heart energy will lead to poor blood flow, resulting in blood vessel stasis, up to stagnation of brain orifices, and loss of glory in brain collaterals.

The lung governs the qi of the whole body, and the lung faces all the meridians. It is mainly used to regulate the joints and regulate the water channels. The lung has a regulating effect on the whole body's qi mechanism, and it can also assist the heart to promote blood circulation and regulate the body fluid metabolism. , body fluid metabolism disorder, then water dampness stagnation, Qi and blood circulation disorder, can not go up to the brain, resulting in loss of nourishment of the brain network.

Although this disease is more common in the elderly, under normal circumstances, even if the various functions of the elderly deteriorate, the brain will only decrease, and it is unlikely that the marrow sea will be empty.

"Let me ask you, how many years has this old man been taking antihypertensive drugs?" Lu Jiu asked suddenly.

Antihypertensive drugs?
Amazing, I knew that Dad had taken antihypertensive drugs just by taking a pulse.

Kang Peng replied immediately, "I have eaten it for 32 years."

32 years?
