Chinese medicine doctor Xu Yang

The initial manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis is simple joint pain, which many people don't take seriously. When it gets severe, the joints will deform and become extremely painful. Therefore, this disease is also called the immortal cancer.

The mortality rate of scleroderma is relatively high because it easily affects the internal organs.

From the perspective of modern medicine, both of these are caused by the human immune system. But in the view of traditional Chinese medicine, this is because the spleen and kidney qi of the human body are first deficient, which gives an opportunity for cold and damp external evils to take advantage of.

The external evils of cold and dampness take advantage of the deficiency and take up residence in the human body. The human body's righteousness is first deficient, and it is unable to encourage the evils to go out, causing the external evils to gradually destroy to this extent.

So again, the spleen and stomach are the foundation of tomorrow, and the kidneys are the foundation of innateness. If the spleen and kidney qi are not deficient and the natural qi is strong, there will be a room full of gentlemen, so how can there be any place for a villain to stand up? So no matter what, you must take good care of your spleen and kidneys.

After hearing the two names of the disease, Xu Yang had some idea in his mind. He said, "Tell me about the disease and I will do some research to see how to treat it."

"Ah..." Yang Chen on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment. In the past, the experts in the field of traditional Chinese medicine who were best at treating this kind of disease were the two seniors from Nan Zhu and Beijiao, but both of them passed away. He asked: "You can do this too?" ah?"

Xu Yang said: "Yes, I know a little bit."

"Ah... Okay, okay." Yang Chen didn't have too many doubts. After graduation, it was like cheating. The record that was enough to blind everyone was here. How dare he doubt it? Now when Xu Yang says he can build rockets, he will believe it.

Yang Chen immediately said: "That's right, my aunt is 53 years old and has suffered from rheumatoid arthritis for 28 years. It was caused by premature exposure to cold water after childbirth."

As a student of traditional Chinese medicine, Yang Chen would naturally not be able to control his immune system by opening his mouth. If that were the case, he would not ask Xu Yang to treat him.

Yang Chen said: "After my aunt has been ill for ten years, she needs to exercise in bed for about an hour before she can sit up from the bed every morning. After a while, she can wait for her stiff lower limbs to move before she can get out of bed and walk. And whether it’s winter or summer, cotton-padded clothes never leave my body.”

Hearing this, Xu Yang couldn't help but frown slightly. After ten years of illness, the paralysis has become so serious. It’s almost thirty years now, so I’m afraid it’s serious to the extreme.

Yang Chen continued: "Now, my aunt's hands are severely swollen and deformed. Her right hand can no longer flex or extend. The ankle joints of both lower limbs are swollen and her toes are stiff. She can no longer walk. Two years ago, my aunt changed to a rigid leg. Skin disease.”

"I have been seeking medical advice for the past two years, but it is still getting worse. Her limbs, from hands to elbows, from feet to knees, the skin is as if it is attached to the bones, very stiff, tight, and shiny. The skin on my forehead also becomes very hard.”

"The wrinkles on her face have completely disappeared, and even her eyelids have become very stiff, so she cannot close her eyes when she goes to bed at night. She can only sleep with her eyes open and covered with a towel."

Xu Yang recorded it in his notebook, feeling a little heavy in his heart, and his skin changes had reached the atrophy stage. Both rheumatoid arthritis and scleroderma are very serious.

"Alas..." Yang Chen sighed softly: "My aunt can't get out of bed at all now, and she can't come to see a doctor. So Xu Yang, please see if you can prescribe a prescription remotely. I'll give it to her first. Use it. When she can move her body a little in the summer, I will bring her to the county to have a look."

"Okay." Xu Yang agreed and said, "Let's do this. You will send her previous diagnosis and treatment information to my mailbox. I will study it and consider it before getting back to you."

"Okay, I'll send it right away. Thank you for your hard work, Xu Yang."

Xu Yang was silent for a moment. From Yang Chen's words, he felt the excitement from the beginning to the obvious vitality now. After a pause, Xu Yang said, "You're welcome."

Then hung up the phone.

Xu Yang looked out the window and traveled back and forth to follow his teacher again and again. It seemed very beautiful, but it also affected his real life and his mentality to a great extent.

Xu Yang closed his eyes hard and stretched out his hands to rub them again.

He went to wash his face to calm down, then shook his head to suppress all these complicated thoughts.

Yang Chen's email was also sent, and he began to think about this thirty-year-old chronic illness.

Without this experience with the teacher, Xu Yang would still not have much confidence in facing such a serious and stubborn illness.

Although he has accumulated relevant diagnosis and treatment experience, he has rarely seen paralysis as severe as this.

Just when he was about to write the prescription, Xu Yang hesitated. He was now at the fork of two completely opposite roads.

In the end, he was going to use force and force to break the ice and relieve the paralysis. Or should we use a flexible approach to make the best of the situation?

In fact, Mr. Zhu's style is in the middle between the two. He is neither as sudden and messy as Mr. Li, nor as nimble as Mr. Pu. He is also good at using aconite and insect medicines, because these medicines are indispensable for treating paralysis.

But its application is moderate to high, and it is indeed a little better than the pharmacopoeia, but it is not more than ten times better than Mr. Li.

Therefore, Xu Yang also learned a lot from his master during this period of time, which gave him some new ideas about integrating the two paths.

After thinking for a while, I realized that cold-dampness paralysis has been in the body for thirty years, and medicines such as Shen Han, Leng, Fei Wu Fu, etc. cannot thaw it out.

This is the first and most basic solution.

Secondly, these paralysis symptoms have caused severe swelling and deformation of her joints, so it is necessary to give full play to the effectiveness of insecticides.

To treat such a disease, the medicine is expensive and specialized, so although the dose is small, its power is huge!

After thinking carefully, Xu Yang recalled the time when he treated Gao Xingliang, deputy director of the police station, for thromboangiitis obliterans in both lower limbs. He was so serious that he needed to have his legs amputated, and he was also in real pain.

He also had cold evil living in his body for more than thirty years, so that the evil entered his blood, and he reached such a critical stage of life and death.

Xu Yang boldly used a large dose of aconite soup at that time, which saved his life and his legs.

The same is true for this female patient now, so to break her thirty-year-old ice paralysis, the only way to break through the twelve meridians is through the Wu Fu.

Xu Yang thought about it and combined it with his own experience in treating these diseases.

He imitated the meaning of aconite soup and drew up a recipe. Aconite was added to it and ephedra was removed. It was also supplemented with Guizhi Decoction to nourish blood and nutrients, and Huoluo Xiaoling Dan was used to promote qi, blood circulation and relieve pain, plus essential insecticides were added to the network.

For the insect medicine, he chose 30g of black snake, 15g of whole insect, and 30g of centipede. These three are mainly used for removing paralysis. Later, 15g of leopard bone was added to strengthen the patient's muscles and bones. To prevent patients from getting poisoned by aconitum, Xu Yang added detoxifying windfeng, black adzuki beans, honey and licorice.

Finally, Xu Yang increased the dosage of raw astragalus to 100g, which can circulate the whole body's air and circulate qi and blood throughout the body.

In terms of usage, he chose the recipe of soaking in wine, grinding all these medicinal materials into coarse powder, soaking them in 3 pounds of white wine for seven days and nights, and taking a cup of it hot in the morning and evening.

Start with a cup of wine, and then increase the amount day by day until your mouth and tongue feel slightly numb. Take this as a limit and finish drinking these medicinal wines.

If the patient was impatient and took too much medicine, he would be poisoned. Xu Yang also added the antidote to the doctor's instructions.

Xu Yang also gave another prescription for external application, making some slight changes based on Zhu Lao's experience. In addition to the herbs, 50g of black snake meat was also added, soaked in alcohol and then soaked in mature vinegar.

Originally, this topical prescription used iontophoresis. Mr. Zhu used this method for topical prescriptions before, and the effect was very good. But now the patient is at home and cannot get out of bed, so he can still use these devices.

So Xu Yang made some changes and wrote in the doctor's instructions that she should dip gauze into the liquid and apply it on the affected area, then iron it with a hot iron on the outside, using heat to penetrate the power of the liquid into the body. After ironing, dip and iron again for half an hour. Afterwards, rub and massage for half an hour. Be careful to avoid wind and cold.

Xu Yang looked at his generous recipe and nodded slightly.
