The Medical Guru

Chapter 1452 ALS Is Also Called Hemiplegia

The media from both sides met at the hospital.

After seeing the examination results of the patients from both sides, the media did not dare to delay for a moment, and they immediately released notices.

The next moment…

Almost all the media who were paying attention to the medical competition released the latest news at the same time.

“Breaking news: The check-up result of Wahton Hospital has been released. The treatment of Arya, the doctor from Egyptt, has failed. The patient’s condition has been relieved a little, but it has not been cured. The disease is still there.”

“Breaking news: The examination result of Wahton Hospital has been released. The treatment of Sam, the doctor from Babyloon, has failed. The patient’s condition has not been relieved, and his condition is still serious.”

“Breaking news: Fang Qiu’s third patient, who has congenital heart disease and myocarditis, has been examined by Wahton Hospital, showing that his heart has no problem at all. His congenital heart disease has been completely cured!”

These three pieces of news were posted on every media’s Twitter.

And it was posted three times in a row.

As soon as the three pieces of news were released, the netizens of Murica were in an uproar.

“What the fuck, Huaxia Chinese Medicine is awesome!”

“I suddenly remembered the arrogant remarks made by Arya and Sam in the interview last night. They thought that they could cure all kinds of difficult miscellaneous diseases, and they were so overconfident that they could defeat Fang Qiu. Now that I think about it, it’s so ridiculous!”

“Isn’t the gap among them too fucking big?”

“Who says no? Fang Qiu has cured three people. They have just cured one each. The most terrible thing is that they did not cure their patients.”

“Oh, my dear! This should be the first patients they met after they announced that they would challenge all the difficult miscellaneous diseases in the competition, right?”

“I finally understand one thing. Fang Qiu is not arrogant, but those who tried to challenge him are arrogant because challenging Fang Qiu is already being arrogant to them!”

“I wonder why these people have the nerve to challenge Fang Qiu. As far as I know, too many patients were cured by Fang Qiu, and none of them had a common disease. However, it only took a very short time for Fang Qiu to cure them. That is why I root for Fang Qiu. But what about the other doctors? They don’t have any significant treatment cases as Fang Qiu. They have always been flattered, which led everyone to think that they were at the same level as Fang Qiu in terms of medical skills. Now, that’s clearly not the case.”

“Yeah, the only one who has made great achievements in the treatment cases is Dr. Antonio from Mayia. Like Fang Qiu, he has cured the new virus. So I think … the competition will end up between Mayian medical skills and Chinese Medicine.”

“I’m looking forward to the battle between the two civilizations!”

In an instant…

The Murican netizens began to talk about it on the internet. In addition to criticizing Arya and Sam, they drew most of their attention to Fang Qiu and Antonio.

What a pity.

Even with all the fuss, and even though they had been so disgraceful, the netizens’ attention was still on Fang Qiu. With the failure of the treatment, it seemed that the Murican netizens had disdained to mention the names of Arya and Sam.

…

In the Huaxia Clinic.

Just as the internet was in an uproar…

The female reporter of MBC also told everyone on the spot the news from Wahton Hospital.

Now…

The people from Huaxia, who came to the scene to watch and support Fang Qiu, all applauded and cheered for him. They were all extremely excited.

They saw with their own eyes that Fang Qiu had defeated the representative of traditional medical skills of other countries, and they witnessed Fang Qiu completely showing the national prestige and the power of Huaxia Chinese Medicine.

In the applause and cheers of the audience…

Fang Qiu saw his fourth patient today.

This was a middle-aged man, about 40 to 50 years old.

“Hello, is there any problem with your health?”

When the patient sat down, Fang Qiu immediately asked.

“ALS.”

The middle-aged man looked at Fang Qiu. It looked like his whole body was being limp. He said, “I have ALS!”

Upon hearing his words…

All the people present were dumbfounded.

ALS…

It was also called motor neuron disease (MND). It occurred after the damage of upper and lower motor neurons, resulting in gradual weakness and atrophy of the muscles including the bulbar, limbs, trunk, chest, and abdominal muscles.

This disease was recorded in “The First Rare Diseases”.

Fang Qiu was a doctor.

He was very clear about the existence of ALS.

The cause of ALS was still unclear up to now. Among the case, 20% of them might have something to do with genetic defects. In addition, there were some environmental factors like heavy metal aluminum poisoning, which could cause damage to motor neurons.

Currently…

There were some main theories about the cause of the damage to motor neurons.

First, the neurotoxin accumulation. The glutamic acid accumulated among the nerve cells. Over time, it would cause damage to the nerve cells.

Second, the nerve cell membrane would be damaged by free radicals.

Third, the nerve growth factor (NGF) is lacking, disabling nerve cells to continue to grow and develop.

Anyway, until now…

ALS was a great challenging medical problem all over the world.

So far…

The cause of ALS couldn’t even be found.

In this case, ALS could be considered the most difficult one among all difficult miscellaneous diseases!

Therefore…

Hearing the patient’s words…

The reporters and all the onlookers on the scene looked so shocked.

They all knew that it was impossible to cure ALS.

Everyone was extremely shocked.

Just then, a voice sounded, “Fang Qiu.”

The beautiful reporter from MBC stood up again and said, “A kind reminder for you. Among the several doctors who challenged all the difficult miscellaneous diseases, Dr. Sinde from Hinndu and Dr. Antun from South Murica tribes also received patients with ALS. Both of them have treated the patients for two hours, but the patients have not been cured yet.”

“I don’t need to compete with them.”

Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “This is the first case of ALS that I have come into contact with. I can’t guarantee that I can cure him, but I promise to do my best to help him fight for even a glimmer of hope.”

Hearing that…

Everyone applauded.

The patient also looked at Fang Qiu and nodded.

Meanwhile…

Soon, the news that Fang Qiu had received a patient with ALS came into the ears of Sinde and Antun, who were treating patients with the same disease.

In fact…

After receiving the patient with ALS, Sinde and Antun had begun to compete with each other secretly. However, Fang Qiu was the main target, so the competition between Sinde and Antun was not obvious, and it was not magnified by the media.

But up to now, they had spent two hours competing but still couldn’t get a result. To their surprise, Fang Qiu joined the competition with them.

This time…

Everyone started to pay attention to Sinde and Antun.

When they first heard that Fang Qiu had joined the competition, Sinde and Antun frowned, for fear that Fang Qiu would cure the patient before them.

Then they had a second thought carefully.

Such a disease couldn’t be cured. Since they couldn’t cure it, Fang Qiu definitely couldn’t, either.

Sinde and Antun were not the only ones who thought so.

As the news spread on the internet, the netizens across Murica all shook their heads.

“That’s impossible. I do hope that someone can cure this disease, but it’s really incurable.”

“It seems that Fang Qiu will lose this time.”

“It’s ALS. I really didn’t expect it.”

“Let’s pray. I don’t hope Fang Qiu to win. I just hope that Fang Qiu can cure this disease. In this way, there will be hope for the patients with ALS all over the world!”

Just a while later…

This news spread to Huaxia.

The netizens in Huaxia also saw the news that Fang Qiu was going to treat ALS.

In an instant…

Domestic netizens had a heated discussion on Weibo.

“Can Fang Qiu cure it this time?”

“Even though Fang Qiu has cured many terminal diseases, ALS is an incurable disease.”

“It’s just a sort of disease. I hope Fang Qiu can work harder. Even if he can’t cure this disease, he can definitely cure other diseases.”

“Why does it have to be ALS?”

The domestic netizens were all worried about Fang Qiu and sighed.

Everyone remembered it.

Previously, the ice bucket challenge for caring for patients with ALS had lasted for a long time all over the world. This disease was too difficult to cure, and there was no way to cure it at all. Therefore, it could only call out people to give more care and love to patients with ALS, enabling them to feel a trace of warmth.

…

In the Huaxia Clinic.

“Don’t be nervous. I’ll start the treatment for you right now.”

Fang Qiu walked up to the patient with a smile and said, “In fact, ALS is also recorded in the 5,000-year-old inheritance of Chinese Medicine in Huaxia.

“Almost all kinds of diseases listed in modern medical books, no matter how complicated the disease’s name is, have basically mature research and appropriate treatment methods, and even special prescriptions, in ancient Chinese Medicine books in Huaxia. ALS is one of them. This is the foundation of Huaxia Chinese Medicine that has been passed down for 5,000 years!”

When mentioning this…

Fang Qiu began to examine the patient’s body while continuing to say, “In fact, ALS is the same as Hemiplegia mentioned in Huaxia Chinese Medicine.

“In the ancient Chinese Medicine book, Suwen Maijie of The Yellow Emperor’s Canon of Internal Medicine, clearly defined it as ‘Hemiplegia’ and its symptoms, which were exactly the same as ALS. It was a deficiency of the kidney. It was also mentioned in Lingshu Febrile Disease as follows: the patient could not feel pain or move their limbs, and their minds were not clear. As long as they can speak, and even a little, the disease can be cured. But when it gets worse that the patient can’t speak, it can’t be cured. The cause of the disease starts from Yang, and then goes into Yin.”

Speaking of this…

Fang Qiu swept across the confused media reporters and the patient, and he shook his head with a bitter smile.

He said all these in Huaxianese because he didn’t know how to translate them into Anglanish, so those people couldn’t understand what he was talking about at all.

“I’ll give you a prescription.”

Fang Qiu didn’t say anything more. Anyway, he introduced everything as needed.

Fang Qiu sat back at the diagnosis table.

He picked up a pen and wrote down the prescribed medicine.

The prescription was a decoction with various herbals, including cooked dried Rehmannia, Cornus, Dendrobe, wine-soaked Desert Cistanche, Monkshood, Poria cocos, etc. Grind them into powder and divide all these herbs into 3 portions on average. Every time, take one portion, mixed with one and a half glasses of water, five slices of ginger, one piece of dates, and five or six pieces of mint. Then decoct them until 80% boiling, regardless of time.

Fang Qiu finished writing the prescription.

He directly handed it to Wang Sheng, who had been watching in front of the medicine cabinet. Fang Qiu said, “Get the medicine here. I’ll decoct it myself.”
