My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 939: Chapter 372: Triple Treatment Methods, Miracle

“There’s no issue with eating sugar or salt, as these are essential nutrients for the body, but one must remember moderation,” Elder Chen replied with a smile.

When the body is working or studying, more than 60% of the energy needed for thinking and maintaining normal activities is provided by sugar, so supplementing with appropriate sugar is very important.

Sugar not only provides energy for metabolism but also helps relieve stress when consumed in moderation.

Therefore, there’s no need to demonize sugar entirely.

Although sugar and salt are indeed culprits for causing the ‘Three Highs,’ as long as they are not consumed excessively, it won’t be a problem.

Being a doctor himself, Zhou Can naturally understood these principles.

This is also why he didn’t completely ban Su Qianqian from consuming sugar and salt.

If you eat too much sugar, it will convert to fat, causing weight gain, leading to hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes.

This is why people are so fearful of sugar.

As long as one understands its pathogenic mechanism, it can be viewed correctly.

“Young lady, the main cause of your illness is a deficiency of the three qis (energies), besides medication, I will teach you a diet prescription and a set of fitness exercises.”

While speaking, Elder Chen started prescribing for her.

Besides the prescription, he also listed some nutritional supplements, including black beans and mutton.

“Elder Chen, may I ask you something?”

“Go ahead!”

Elder Chen was very amiable.

“In Chinese medicine, Rehmannia and Ejiao are considered excellent for nourishing the kidneys, but you didn’t prescribe them. Could you explain the rationale to me?”

Zhou Can humbly inquired.

“You’re also a doctor, aren’t you? Once you stood there, I could immediately sense that Western medicine vibe.”

Elder Chen’s comment left Zhou Can a bit embarrassed.

“Haha, when I say ‘vibe,’ I don’t mean scent but the unique mechanical aura after practicing Western medicine for a while. Don’t take it offensively; I don’t look down on Western medicine, I just think it’s very formulaic in diagnosing and treating, akin to applying a formula, making it somewhat rigid.”

There’s always a sense of rivalry.

Internal medicine looks down on surgery, and surgery looks down on internal medicine.

Chinese medicine disparages Western medicine, and Western medicine looks down on Chinese medicine.

Everyone mutually disdains each other, believing they are the best.

This is particularly obvious among foreigners who are often praised from a young age, believing themselves to be the best, their country the greatest, and everything they have superior.

Chinese children are often taught modesty and humility by their parents.

Principles of moderation and Confucianism have a deep-rooted influence in China. Concealing one’s strengths is something Chinese people often do.

Even if they are multimillionaires, when praised for their wealth, they might shake their heads, saying they are just average, or even feign poverty.

Being low-key is equated with self-protection, and this notion is deeply ingrained in the minds of Chinese people.

Elder Chen’s disdain for Western medicine is nothing peculiar, just a product of traditional thinking.

For thousands of years, the emperors of China have always considered themselves the masters of the world.

In the Tang, Han, Ming, and Qing dynasties, when faced with foreign invasions, the emperors would often issue commands with an air of dominance as world rulers, instructing a certain General to lead a certain number of troops to eradicate the barbarians or invaders.

“Young man, Chinese medicine focuses on syndrome differentiation and treatment, which is quite different from the symptomatic treatment of Western medicine. Ejiao and Rehmannia are considered Yin tonics for the kidneys, commonly used for treating deficiency Yin syndromes. For example, the highly popular Six-Flavor Rehmannia Pill on the market uses Rehmannia as its main ingredient; it’s effective in treating symptoms like night sweating, seminal emission, and weakness in the waist and knees.”

Elder Chen patiently explained the rationale to him.

“So, does it mean that kidney-strengthening medicines are categorized into Yang and Yin types?”

Zhou Can was eager to get to the bottom of it.

“Exactly! In Chinese medicine, we strive for a balance of Yin and Yang. Yang medicine replenishes Yang, and Yin medicine replenishes Yin. For her condition, we need to first determine which aspect, whether qi, blood, Yin or Yang, is deficient, and then select dietary supplements and Chinese medicine based on the relationship between the viscera. While supplementing, we must also consider the patient’s spleen and stomach function, if there’s qi stagnation in the spleen and stomach, it should be taken into account in the prescription and supplementation.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Can felt he gained some understanding.

It seems that Western medical pharmacology and traditional Chinese medical theory have some similarities.

It’s just that the treatment principles are somewhat different.

In Chinese medicine, maintaining a balance between Yin and Yang is emphasized. When Yin is in excess, Yang is supplemented; when Yang is in excess, Yin is supported. As long as the balance of Yin and Yang is maintained, the body will be healthy.

“Young lady, I’ll teach you a set of exercise routines. Please remember them carefully and practice them several times every morning and evening. As long as you persist, I’m sure you’ll see the benefits.”

Upon finishing, Elder Chen stood up and demonstrated for her carefully.

Zhou Can cleverly recorded the entire process on his device, so in case they forgot, Su Qianqian could review the video later.

“Alright, after you finish the first course of medication, go to the hospital for a check-up. If there’s any improvement, come back to me for the second prescription.”

Elder Chen had exceptionally taken care of them, providing a comprehensive and detailed consultation.

“Okay, thank you!”

After expressing their gratitude to Elder Chen, they left with high hopes.

Zhou Can went to have the medicine prepared and brewed for Su Qianqian without further mention.

Furthermore, he specially had a drink with Li Lao, discussing Su Qianqian’s matters, asking him to reduce her workload as much as possible.

Li Lao didn’t have any objections to this.

However, although the Golden Entertainment Interactive Company has cultivated many new talents, the time has been short, and there still isn’t a mega-popular star like Su Qianqian. So, it might not be that easy to immediately reduce her workload.
