Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

"Don't be pessimistic at such a young age. Your condition was discovered early, so it's not a terminal illness!"

Old Chen comforted Chen Nanxing in a gentle tone, and then, under the expectant gazes of Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing, he continued:

"As for your case, I have a different view from them. In Chinese medicine dialectics, you have Qi and blood stasis.

As for the cause, it's likely due to your frequent business trips and irregular diet, which has ultimately led to dysfunctional spleen and stomach function. With active cooperation with treatment, there's a good chance of recovery."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. I will definitely cooperate actively. However, I have a question. The doctor said I have pancreatic disease, but why do you and Han Tao both say that I have a problem with my spleen and stomach?"

"Let Qianqian answer this question for you. I'll go figure out a prescription!"

Hearing Chen Nanxing's words, Old Chen smiled slightly. He did not respond to her personally, but signaled his granddaughter to answer. In fact, this could be regarded as a test of his granddaughter's basic theory.

Chen Qian also understood what her grandfather meant. She was not shy about the situation as she had been influenced by him since she was a child. She said directly:

"Sister Nanxing, the most important characteristic of Chinese medicine in treating diseases is to find the root cause of the disease and treat it accordingly. That's why we never treat the symptoms without addressing the root cause.

It is even more forbidden to perform surgery to remove organs at will. The human body is like a machine composed of many parts. The meridians and the qi, blood, and body fluids running through the meridians and throughout the body connect all parts into a whole.

The normal functioning of each component is normal life activity, and various external manifestations of life activities, such as breathing, heartbeat, complexion, emotions, joint movements, etc., must be based on the normal functioning of internal organs and meridians.

The internal organs of the human body are centered on the five internal organs, which are connected to the external body through meridians, such as tendons, veins, muscles, skin, bones, as well as orifices, eyes, tongue, mouth, nose, and ears, forming five major systems. The lack of any one of them or any one of them becoming diseased will cause overall imbalance.

The so-called disease of an organ is definitely not a problem with the organ itself, but your problem lies in the pancreas.

The pancreas belongs to the spleen, and the spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation, so if there is a problem with the spleen, transportation and transformation will be impaired. Once transportation and transformation are blocked, there will be a lack of nutrition and blood production will be insufficient. The liver stores blood, so insufficient blood will lead to liver blood deficiency and blood stasis.

If blood stasis persists for a long time, it will cause pain in the upper abdomen, which will gradually affect the waist and back, causing pain when lying flat, and the need to bend the legs before lying on the side to sleep well. This is the manifestation of pancreatic disease caused by qi and blood stasis.

Chen Qian's words left Xu Hongdou, Chen Nanxing, and everyone else confused, except Han Tao. However, they seemed quite powerful, so Xu Hongdou couldn't help but ask:

"Doctor Chen, can Nanxing's condition really be cured without surgery or chemotherapy?"

"Just call me Xiaoqian. I haven't graduated yet and I'm just learning from Grandpa, so I'm not a doctor!"

Chen Qian shook her head embarrassedly and continued to explain: "Sister Hongdou, no one can guarantee your condition.

But since my grandfather said there's a high chance of recovery, as long as Sister Nanxing actively seeks treatment, it'll be fine. Fortunately, it was discovered early. The earlier this disease is treated, the easier it is to cure."

"Yes, thankfully it was discovered early, and thankfully a master like Master Chen was willing to take me on as a patient. I even wrote my suicide note after the diagnosis. If I hadn't been lucky enough to meet Han Tao and Master Chen, I really don't know what I would have done!"

"It's not that serious, it's just a small favor."

Han Tao shook his head, looked at the watch on his wrist, and continued, "It's getting late. Mr. Chen needs to pay attention. Everyone is also tired from the journey. Let's stop here for today and don't disturb Mr. Chen anymore."

"Brother Han, I'll leave it to you and your two sisters. I guess Grandpa will be thinking of a prescription based on Nanxing's condition. You guys should eat and rest early. We'll see you tomorrow."

"Okay, see you tomorrow. If you have anything, Mr. Chen, feel free to call me. I'll be right over."

After saying that, Han Tao stood up to say goodbye. Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing also stood up and followed him. Chen Qian smiled and sent them to the door, then waved goodbye.

"Don't send me off. Go back and tell Elder Chen not to get too tired. There's no rush for this matter. Nanxing and the others will be staying here permanently, so Elder Chen can adjust the prescription at any time."

Han Tao repeatedly reminded Chen Qian, emphasizing that Mr. Chen should not be anxious, because our traditional medical skills require a prescription for each individual, and the prescription and dosage must be changed at any time according to the changes in the condition.

After all, every patient has a different constitution, so Chinese medicine doesn’t use names for diseases, and many treatments are not universal.

Even classic prescriptions must be used after dialectical analysis, because different body constitutions have different characteristics. If the medication is not tailored to each individual, it is likely to cause serious problems.

Even for the same symptoms, different prescriptions will be required for different physical constitutions. If the doctor cannot understand the deviations in physical constitution, deviations will often occur in treatment or health care.

Even worse, it will go against the grain, which is a huge difference from Western medicine. It is not that you take certain medicines when you have a cold, or you have to cut off the disease and then undergo chemotherapy, etc. These are two completely different directions.

After all, a living human body is an indivisible whole, and its internal conditions cannot be directly dissected and explored. Therefore, the functional status of the internal organs can be reflected through external and local manifestations such as tissues and orifices, so as to make correct diagnosis and treatment.

It is never advocated to separate an organ or tissue and only see the parts, but the person should be viewed as a whole.

For example, after getting angry, you may feel dizzy and have blurred vision. The disease is not located in the head and eyes. Generally speaking, the disease is in the liver. The Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian goes up from the soles of the feet to the liver, and then to the eyes and the top of the head. Therefore, the treatment can be to treat the headache by treating the foot. Taichong, an important acupoint of the Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian on the foot, can be used to relieve liver fire and achieve the desired effect.

For example, symptoms of red, swollen and painful gums can often be treated by purging the Neiting point on the foot, because the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming connects the feet, stomach and gums into a whole during its circulation.

Therefore, the key to treating diseases is to start from the whole, connect the essence of the disease through what you see, and treat the root of the disease.

In fact, traditional medicine is not slow in treating diseases. As long as the right medicine is used, the disease can be cured.

The reason why it is now in decline is that wars were frequent in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Surgery does have unique advantages in treating trauma, but traditional medicine also has surgery, but it has declined.

Otherwise, how did ordinary people treat illnesses in China for 5,000 years when there was no surgery? Wasn't it all cured by traditional medicine?

Let me tell you another very simple question. If you sprain your ankle or something like that, you go to the hospital for an X-ray and then go home to recuperate, but in the end you will still suffer from a chronic illness.

Traditional medical bone setting directly solves the problem. After the bone setting is completed, the patient can get out of bed and move freely as long as it is not strenuous.

Another example is first aid. For myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction, whether it is acupuncture or brain-awakening enema soup, they are very effective in treating coma caused by acute cerebrovascular disease and promoting awakening.

Traditional medicine embodies profound philosophical wisdom. It is the nation's health and wellness concepts and practical experience for thousands of years. It is a treasure of ancient science. The descendants of the Chinese nation have lived and multiplied thanks to the careful protection of traditional Chinese medicine.

However, in the past century, traditional medicine has suffered from development difficulties. The reason for this is that some technical prescriptions have been lost due to unrest.

Chapter 638 Chen Nanxing’s Condition

At dusk, the sky was filled with sunset glow. A red sun was above the tea mountain behind the Daishan Sanatorium, casting sunset glow all over the sky. The sky was illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun, making it a fiery red.

As soon as Andy got out of the car, he took the things he had prepared and went to find his younger brother Xiao Ming. The rest of Han Tao and others exchanged greetings with Dean Xiuyuan and went straight to the courtyard where Mr. Chen was.

The scale of Daishan Sanatorium is now very large. In addition to the regular areas, it also has hot springs, foot art, training, and cultural and sports activity centers. Some high-level or better-equipped residents can also live in single-family Chinese-style courtyards and villas.

In particular, Daishan Sanatorium is surrounded by the sea on three sides. In the hospital, you can enjoy watching the sunrise through the window and listening to the sound of waves while lying in bed. You can experience the charm of the sea without leaving your home. It is a large comprehensive sanatorium that integrates leisure and vacation, medical testing, and entertainment and fitness.

After the greetings, Mr. Chen did not beat around the bush. After all, Han Tao's status was there and he respected him very much. Although the two of them did not have much contact, they had similar personalities. In addition, with the relationship between Han Tao's grandparents, the old and the young could be considered friends regardless of age.

Therefore, after everyone was seated, Elder Chen looked at them and said straight to the point, "Miss Chen, although Xiao Han told me some of your basic condition, we Chinese doctors need to conduct a thorough examination to confirm the condition, so I still need to observe it myself. If you don't mind, I'll take your pulse."

"Mr. Chen, you are too polite. Actually, we are from the same family. You can just call me Nanxing or Xiao Chen. I am sorry to have troubled you by coming here this time!"

Chen Nanxing did not hesitate. While responding politely to Mr. Chen, he placed his hand on the pulse pillow brought by a young lady. The girl was Mr. Chen's granddaughter and a graduate student at Shanghai University of Chinese Medicine. She would come back to study with Mr. Chen when she had time.

"Okay, change your hand!" Three or four minutes later, Mr. Chen asked while asking Chen Nanxing to change his hand. He stretched out three fingers and placed them on Chen Nanxing's wrist again.

"Nanxing girl, before the diagnosis, did you often experience back pain, loss of appetite, nausea, and diarrhea?"

Chen Nanxing nodded and replied, "Yes, Mr. Chen, I have had these symptoms for about half a year, especially in the last two months. My appetite has not been very good, I am always nauseous, and I have back pain from time to time."

Elder Chen withdrew his right hand, concluding the pulse diagnosis. He continued with certainty, "Besides the nausea, did you initially feel a dull pain in the upper abdomen, which later progressed to lower back pain, along with a loss of appetite, dry mouth, and bitter taste? Recently, you've also become thinner."

Hearing what Old Chen said, Chen Nanxing couldn't help but think that Han Tao was indeed amazing, and his diagnosis was similar to Old Chen's, so he nodded and said:

"Mr. Chen, you're absolutely right. I used to think these symptoms were caused by overwork, but I never expected to have such a terminal illness. After one round of chemotherapy in the hospital, I feel like I'd rather not have been treated. It's too painful."

"Don't be pessimistic at such a young age. Your condition was discovered early, so it's not a terminal illness!"

Old Chen comforted Chen Nanxing in a gentle tone, and then, under the expectant gazes of Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing, he continued:

"Traditional Chinese medicine treats your condition differently from Western medicine. There's no such thing as pancreatic cancer in traditional Chinese medicine. In traditional Chinese medicine dialectics, you have Qi and blood stasis.

As for the cause, it's likely due to your frequent business trips and irregular diet, which has ultimately led to dysfunctional spleen and stomach function. With active cooperation with treatment, there's a good chance of recovery."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. I will definitely cooperate actively. However, I have a question. The doctor said I have pancreatic disease, but why do you and Han Tao both say that I have a problem with my spleen and stomach?"

"Let Qianqian answer this question for you. I'll go figure out a prescription!"

Otherwise, how did ordinary people treat their illnesses during the 5,000 years of Chinese history when there was no Western medicine? Aren’t they all cured by traditional Chinese medicine?

However, in the past hundred years, traditional Chinese medicine has suffered from development difficulties. The reason for this is that in addition to the loss of some technical prescriptions due to unrest, the suppression of Western medicine has dominated. Even the traditional Chinese medicine pharmacopoeia was created by Western medicine.

This results in many houses being unable to use it. For example, the herb aconite is toxic and the pharmacopoeia requires that it cannot exceed 30 grams. However, many Chinese medicine practitioners prescribe up to 100 grams. The reason for this is that other medicines can offset the toxicity. Chinese medicine pays attention to the monarch, minister, assistant and envoy ingredients in the preparation of medicines.

(Sorry, everyone, I've said a lot on this post. I'm quite moved by Chinese medicine. The above is just my personal opinion, please don't read into it!)

Chapter 639 Chen Nanxing and Xu Hongdou join

On the way to the Daishan Sanatorium, Xu Hongdou kept thanking Han Tao:

"Brother Han, thank you so much! If you hadn't taken me to the hospital and then accompanied me home, and discovered Nanxing's condition, Nanxing wouldn't have thought of going to the hospital for a check-up. By the time she discovered it, it would have been too late!"

"You're welcome. I just happened to meet you. It's nothing more than a small favor."

Han Tao shook his head and continued with a smile, "The most important thing is Nanxing. She believed what I said, went to the hospital for a checkup in time, and resolutely came to the Magic City. Otherwise, my willingness to help would be useless."

"Maybe this is fate. You are truly a benefactor to Nanxing and me. If you need any help from us sisters in the future, just ask. I will never refuse!"

Xu Hongdou looked at Han Tao with special emotion. Although she and Han Tao had not known each other for a long time, Han Tao made her feel so safe and at ease, and there was also a hint of mystery.

When she first met Han Tao in Kyoto, Xu Hongdou's first impression was that he was an industry elite and had a remarkable family background. From his speech and behavior, it could be seen that he had received a good education and had no playboy style at all.

And it was indeed so. Han Tao had only been in Kyoto for a few days when he won the most expensive car refund-three-compensation case in history, and then won a 10 billion asset inheritance case. This was not only well-known in the legal profession, but even they were well-known.

The most amazing thing is that this person is like a mystery. He can tell at a glance that there are physical problems with himself and Chen Nanxing. So she knows that Han Tao is much more than what she sees now. There must be more sides to him waiting for her to explore.

At this time, Chen Nanxing was completely relaxed. Since both Mr. Chen and Chen Qian said that there was a high chance of recovery, it meant that he had a great hope of survival, otherwise the doctor would never say such a high chance.
