Traditional Chinese Medicine Xu Yang

Mr. Li went over to help Xu Yang up, and he took out another cigarette and lit it.

For the first time in this remote mountain village, the master and apprentice chatted openly.

Sitting on a small chair, Mr. Li said: "Although my medications often exceed the specifications, and the world says that I am extra bold in my medications, I believe I am right, because the curative effect is the greatest proof!"

Xu Yang nodded slightly.

Mr. Li took a puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled a few smoke rings. He said: "I learned Chinese medicine by myself in adversity, and started to treat diseases after I was released from prison. Before the 60s, I also treated some severe heart failure."

"I respect Zhongjing's ancient prescription and use Sini Decoction to treat it. This is the main prescription for strengthening the heart. Heart failure is a severe disease of yin and cold, and Sini Decoction can restore the Yang to save the adversity and bring the dead back to life. Many heart failure patients not only have Yang Qi Declining, and the yin fluid is exhausted inside, so I added ginseng decoction, and ginseng Sini decoction is the main one."

"This prescription greatly invigorates the vitality. On the basis of restoring yang and rescuing the adversity, it nourishes yin and yang, replenishes qi and produces body fluid, making it more perfect. But when treating severe heart failure, life and death are still mixed."

"Before the 60s, I used small doses of Ginseng Sini Decoction to treat 6 cases of severe heart failure, 5 of which died, and only one survived. Afterwards, I failed repeatedly with this prescription, so it also confused me."

Mr. Li took a puff of cigarette again, and exhaled heavily: "At that time, I was thinking, could it be that the medical sage Zhongjing made a mistake? However, according to previous records, this prescription has been used for thousands of years, and it has repeatedly achieved remarkable results!"

"I really don't understand, so I can only increase the dose of aconite, the master general of recovering yang and saving the adverse, from 10g to 15g, and then to 45g, but it still doesn't work. At this time, my dosage has exceeded the five-year prescribed by the Pharmacopoeia. doubled."

"Until that time, I had a friend whose mother had suffered from pulmonary heart disease for 20 years and was in critical condition in the hospital, so she gave up the rescue and went home to prepare for her funeral."

"He invited me to do the last rescue, to do my best. I went to find that the patient's whole body was cold, only his chest was slightly warm, he was comatose and wheezing, his blood pressure could not be measured, and he was incontinent."

"The six channels seem to exist, but the three channels of Fuyang, Taixi, and Taichong are still intact. No wonder modern medicine has given up rescue. This kind of dying patient is really hard to save!"

"But as a doctor, I still prescribed 3 doses of medicine for the final rescue. Each dose of Fuzi used 45g. After the prescription was finished, I left because I didn't have any hope."

"It's just that his house was too busy that day. He had to prepare the shroud, prepare the mourning hall, and receive relatives and friends who kept coming to see the patient for the last time."

"My friend's wife, who is also the patient's daughter-in-law, can't read a single word, and she forgot all my instructions to her. There was a mess at home. In a hurry, she even took three medicines together. It fell down and boiled into a thick concoction."

"It was past time at that time, and her daughter-in-law fed it every few minutes, and finished feeding half a bowl of thick concoction in more than 40 minutes. Then a miracle happened, and the comatose patient suddenly woke up. Knowing that she was hungry, she asked for something to eat. The next day, she was able to get out of bed and walk. Then she lived for another 19 years before dying."

"Hehe..." Mr. Li shook his head and laughed twice: "Such a critical condition of heart failure, with only one last breath left, a critical condition that modern medicine has given up, has come back to life in such a dramatic way."

"At that time, I finally understood that it's not that traditional Chinese medicine can't cure this critical illness, but that the dosage is wrong! It turns out that the secret of the sage of medicine lies in the dosage. Why the medicine I used before didn't work is because of the wrong dosage! "

"Alas..." Mr. Li sighed again, with a lonely expression on his face: "After that, I worked hard on the dosage and saved serious illnesses repeatedly. But outsiders said that my medication was dangerous and heresy! Sentenced to prison."

"Although I think in my heart that I am right, I am the one who understands the ancient prescription of Zhongjing, but I have no evidence, and I can't prove the real dosage in ancient times."

Xu Yang said: "No, now there is evidence."

"Huh?" Elder Li looked up in astonishment.

Xu Yangdao: "Some time ago, archaeologists discovered an ancient tomb of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and unearthed a weight and measure tool of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Dasinong Tongquan, which proved that one tael in the Eastern Han Dynasty was equal to the current 15.625g."

Mr. Li was stunned when he heard this, and asked in disbelief, "Really."

Xu Yang nodded seriously: "I just found out, maybe the news hasn't come yet."

Mr. Li leaned heavily on the chair, his expression was sad and happy for a moment, he said repeatedly: "I knew I was right, I knew I was right!"

Mr. Li raised his head, and the usually good-tempered Mr. Li suddenly burst into foul language and cursed: "Fucking Li Shizhen, you missed my Chinese medicine by more than four hundred years!"

Chapter 93 Materia Medica

Xu Yang also shook his head with a wry smile.

He came from a later age, so he naturally knew that the ancient tomb of the Eastern Han Dynasty was dug up this year, which also confirmed the dosage of the Eastern Han Dynasty.At the same time, he also knew that the two ancients that Mr. Li most often scolded were Li Shizhen and Zhu Danxi.

Zhu Danxi's words are an academic dispute.

Li Shizhen, this is really cheating.

In the hearts of the general public, Li Shizhen's reputation is second only to Hua Tuo and Bian Que among the Chinese medicine practitioners of all dynasties.When it comes to Chinese medicine works, ordinary people can only name one "Compendium of Materia Medica".

But to be honest, "Compendium of Materia Medica" is really ordinary in the eyes of Chinese medicine practitioners, and they even dislike it.

why?

Because there are a lot of conjectures and superstitions in the book, for example, pregnant women should not eat rabbit heads, otherwise the baby will have cleft lips; there are also fishbone stuck in the throat, which can be burned into ashes with a fishing net, and the fishbone can be eliminated by drinking it with water.

There is also a Lantern Festival that steals a lamp from a rich man's house and puts it under the bed to treat infertility.All kinds of messes like this, what kind of human shit and pig shit, what kind of soul is used as medicine!

His "Compendium of Materia Medica" only briefly summarized the predecessors' Materia Medica, and at the same time included a large number of hearsay, even imaginary things.

As soon as Li Shizhen's brain twitched, he dared to stuff anything into it, and he didn't test it, and he didn't test the medicine in it.

There are many bibliographies on Materia Medica in the past dynasties. In the eyes of Chinese medicine practitioners, the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" must be ranked first. "Compendium of Materia Medica" is really not on the table. .

That being the case, why do ordinary people only know "Compendium of Materia Medica"?

This is mainly because Darwin once praised it, so in the modern period of the Republic of China, many enlightened people began to praise the stinky feet of this book.

Although they oppose Chinese medicine, they feel that Chinese medicine is still a treasure house, especially in the Compendium of Materia Medica.

Is this argument very familiar? It is exactly the same as now.Go and look through the comments of Chinese medicine critics on the Internet, and they all say this.

In later generations, those who compiled the textbooks compiled the Compendium of Materia Medica and Li Shizhen into the textbooks, and also said that Li Shizhen had gone through untold hardships and went deep into the mountains and old forests to make corrections to the predecessors one by one.

He himself is completely wrong!

Up to now, "Compendium of Materia Medica" has almost been reduced to the exclusive use of liars.

That kind of health care products that deceive people will definitely say that the medicine is so and so as recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica, and then so and so according to modern scientific pharmacological research... It is a combination of Chinese and Western.

In fact, Li Shizhen's greatest contribution was not "Compendium of Materia Medica".His contribution is in pulse study, "Pinhu Pulse Study" and "Extraordinary Classic Eight Pulse Test" are very good.

"Compendium of Materia Medica" apart from making up nonsense, another biggest problem is the textual research on the ancient dosage.Li Shizhen didn't even try to test the properties of the medicine, let alone spend his time researching the ancient dosage.

So he slapped his head again, and very simply thought that one tael in ancient times is one money in today's money.Well, all of a sudden, the dosage in Zhongjing's ancient prescription dropped several times, theoretically reduced to one-fifth of the original prescription.In actual use, the dosage is only one-tenth of the original actual dosage.

Of course, Li Shizhen was not the only one who thought so. All the Chinese doctors in the Ming Dynasty thought so.Then why do you always scold Li Shizhen, hey, isn't it because he is the most popular.

And he insisted on going to repair herbal medicine, what is herbal medicine?It is the current Pharmacopoeia, which needs to determine the dose. If you make a mistake in the dose, who will you blame?

After the Ming Dynasty, Chinese medicine medicine suddenly became lighter.Although this will not cause a big mistake, it will not cure the critical illness.

So that in the late Ming Dynasty, the plague broke out.Chinese medicine practitioners found sadly that the prescriptions of Treatise on Febrile Diseases could not save people, and the prescriptions handed down by medical sages were useless at all.

At this moment when the road has come to an end, Chinese medicine practitioners have embarked on a new road with great perseverance. They have developed and changed the Zhongjing Jingfang, and at the same time derived new theories, and the School of Epidemic Diseases has emerged from this.

It's just that the medical sage's unique knowledge has long been dusted!

In the battle between Chinese and Western medicine in modern times, Chinese medicine has completely lost the field of acute and severe diseases, and has become the well-known slow doctor!Now it is almost reduced to health medicine.

That's why, true Chinese medicine practitioners don't like to hear the phrase "advancing with the times and embracing modern science".Because there is a huge golden mountain behind Chinese medicine, but it is just covered in dust.

Chinese medicine should not look forward, but backward.

Mr. Li just dug a few hoes on this golden mountain, and he has already become like this.His treatment of acute and severe diseases is not only effective faster than modern medicine, but also has a much higher prognosis than modern medicine.

And Mr. Li is the most typical supporter of the ancient Chinese medicine school. He learned from Shanghan, learned from Zhongjing, and only used the six classics and eight principles of dialectics.It is precisely because he broke through the dosage level that he has achieved today's achievements.

Who said that pure Chinese medicine is inferior to Western medicine?Who said that we have to keep pace with the times and combine Chinese and Western?

……

After scolding Li Shizhen, Mr. Li gradually calmed down. He suddenly turned his head and asked Xu Yang: "Since the ancient dosage has been corrected, then the Pharmacopoeia..."

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Li himself paused.

"Oh..." Xu Yang also sighed.

Although the ancient dosage has been corrected, but in today's Chinese medicine field... there are not many real Chinese medicine practitioners, and it has long since been said that it is not true Chinese medicine practitioners.

Mr. Li also sighed, with a look of slump on his face, he stood up, his figure also looked a bit hunched, and he said, "Let's go, the medicine is ready."

Xu Yang stood up and poured the medicine in the two pots together, about 1000ml in total.

It's 6pm now.

Xu Yang first asked the patient to drink 300ml. Two hours later, at around [-]:[-] pm, the patient suddenly suffered from abdominal pain.

Xu Yang respected Li Laoyi and made the patient drink about 500ml of medicinal juice. The patient wanted to have a bowel movement, but he couldn't pull it out.It's just that the bloated stomach that was originally like an urn has dissipated a lot at this moment, and the abdominal distension is greatly relieved, and the patient is very comfortable.

At 11 o'clock at night, Xu Yang let the patient take the last of the medicine.

At 2 o'clock in the night, the patient's stool was as black as sludge, very smelly, with hardened strips and lumps of feces, and pus and blood, and a large potty.

At this point, the patient finally felt better. After two days without food, she suddenly felt hungry and ate a small bowl of noodles.

From 6 o'clock in the evening to drink medicine, until 2 o'clock in the morning, such a severe case of appendicitis abscess and intestinal obstruction for five days was declared cured.When shared for eight hours, the dosage is only one dose.

Faced with this achievement that would shock any medical worker, Xu Yang and Mr. Li couldn't laugh at all.

It was already 2 o'clock in the morning, Mr. Li and Xu Yang walked to the small courtyard of the farmhouse, and they sat in the starry sky.

Mr. Li lit another cigarette. He likes to smoke very much. He could hardly leave his mouth. He puffed out the smoke and said slowly: "If I have any experience that I can teach you, it must be the medicine for severe poison." control."

Xu Yang turned to look at Mr. Li.

In the darkness, a red star flickered in front of Old Li's mouth, and he said, "Every traditional Chinese medicine has deviations in its properties. From this point of view, there is no medicine that is not biased, and no medicine is not poisonous."

"Some medicines have a small deviation, and almost everyone can use them, such as astragalus ginseng. Some medicines have a large deviation, and the scope of application is very small. The most typical ones are poisonous medicines."

"Aconite is just one of them. Do you still remember the critically ill patient with pulmonary heart disease that I treated before? I decocted it urgently and took it as I decocted it. This is the time when the poison of aconite is the strongest, even healthy people can't bear it. "

"But the patient with only one breath left not only did not die, but was saved. This is because the dying patient with heart failure was trapped in the body of a lot of Yin and cold. The great heat and poison of aconite is the secret of bringing him back to life. .”

"If you use it on normal people, there will be big problems. Therefore, doctors must be good at controlling poisonous drugs. When you really know how to control them, you will find that these drugs have miraculous effects when you use them."

"If you want to learn how to control poison, you have to taste it yourself first, and you have to keep increasing the dose. Only after drinking it yourself can you know how to use it. Don't be afraid of being poisoned. After being poisoned, you need to detoxify. Chinese medicine practitioners should Learn from Shennong who tasted all kinds of herbs."

Xu Yang nodded seriously.

Mr. Li put down his cigarette and turned to ask Xu Yang: "What happened that time you didn't save people with my prescription? I know you were sent to the grassroots from the provincial capital. It stands to reason that a young doctor like you You are not eligible for first aid."

Xu Yang's expression froze immediately.

Chapter 94 I'm a Doctor

When Xu Yang heard this, his mood suddenly became heavy.

My thoughts suddenly returned to the past.

He couldn't help showing a wry smile, and said, "It's a traffic jam."

"Huh?" Mr. Li looked puzzled: "Traffic jam? Are there so many cars in the provincial capital?"

Xu Yang didn't know what to say for a while, let's not talk about the provincial capital now, and there is no traffic jam in Beijing, there are only a few cars these days.

Seeing that Xu Yang seemed to be questioned, Mr. Li said: "I haven't been to the provincial capital for many years. I have been in the countryside for many years. Maybe the provincial capital is developing well now. You continue to talk, and I won't interrupt you. "

Xu Yang nodded slightly, he said: "Maybe it's fate! Urban construction, subway overhaul, roads are being built everywhere. There are three roads to the hospital, two of which are under construction."

"The other one had a serious car accident. Two large trucks collided with each other. The sand and muck on the car were all poured out, blocking the entire road."

"It happened to be the rush hour at that time. Originally, there was a deadly congestion every day, but now it's even worse. Then there are two events in the south of the city, the music festival and the animation festival. The traffic is so congested."

"The other two roads under construction are not passable at all. People want to pass here, and people want to come over there. They are already jammed to death, and they cannot move at all."

"Even battery cars can't get through. Those who ride battery cars are on the sidewalk. Electric cars during rush hour are so unqualified that even the sidewalk is blocked."

"Cars are like rocks, and those riding battery cars are like sand, filling up the gaps. The battery cars are crowded between the two cars. At that time, even pedestrians couldn't get through."

Mr. Li took another drag on his cigarette in doubt. He suddenly felt that he was very ignorant. What kind of car is a battery car?Can you still ride?Isn't it possible to ride a bicycle?And what is Anime Festival?Are you eating dumplings?

Xu Yang slowly lowered his body and supported his head with his hands. He looked at the ground, and the image of the day seemed to be reflected on the dark ground.

"Maybe it's really fate. I wasn't in the hospital that day on vacation. I was playing at my college roommate's house, but his small Chinese medicine clinic opened on this road."

"At that time, a woman ran out of the community. She wanted to seek medical treatment behind her back behind her father's back. She had already called the emergency number, but the ambulance couldn't get through, not even people."

"And here, there is only this small Chinese medicine clinic. The old man is also suffering from severe heart failure. He is dying, sweating profusely, sweating profusely, wheezing profusely, and soon passed out."

"Besides, I couldn't measure my blood pressure, and my heart rate dropped to 45. My limbs were cold, my hands were colder than my elbows, my feet were colder than my knees, and there was only residual warmth in my chest, and I was breathing my last breath."

"My roommate's father took Suxiao Jiuxin Pills, but nothing improved. The situation is still getting worse and the traffic jam continues."

"I just walked down from the attic of the clinic with him, and I just saw a scene. It was the first time I saw this kind of critical illness. At that time, the first reaction in my mind was to save him, and the second reaction was your exception Heart-saving soup."

Xu Yang raised his head, smiled self-deprecatingly, with a sad expression: "They are all trying to persuade me not to use it. Li Ke has it, but you may not be able to use it. If you don't save your life, something serious will happen. And this kind of critical illness, There is no guarantee that you will survive if you are sent to a tertiary hospital, let alone a Chinese medicine student who just graduated.”

"But at that time, there was no ambulance or any medical staff to save him. The only hope was our small Chinese medicine clinic. So I insisted on saving him, and my roommate also supported me."

"I boldly used your prescription, starting with aconite up to 80g, frying it quickly with high fire, and taking it as it was fried, in an attempt to save his life. But it didn't work, his condition has not stabilized."

"It was very late, the big traffic jam was finally cleared, and the ambulance rushed over, but the person was gone, and I couldn't revive him after all."

Xu Yang looked up at the starry sky, with a bitter taste on his face: "Later, she came to the hospital to make trouble, and asked me to tear, fight, and insult me. Because she heard from her doctor friend that aconite is Toxic, and I'm overdosing."

"After boiled for an hour, the toxicity of the aconite will be greatly degraded. He is critically ill, and I am urgently decocted with fire, and the toxicity is at its strongest."
