Chapter 264 Boosting Qi and Blood
To use acupuncture to treat leukemia, we must first target the key points of these two organs.
At the same time, these two important acupoints are located right above the spine.
Blood and bones cannot be separated.
It is of great significance to pierce these two important acupoints first.
Many medical students know that bone marrow is the main organ for hematopoiesis.
In modern treatments for leukemia, the main purpose of bone marrow transplantation is actually to restore the patient's hematopoietic function.
Many people may think that hematopoietic stem cells are bone marrow.
This is an absolutely wrong perception.
The bone marrow cavity includes hematopoietic cells and bone marrow stroma, and hematopoietic stem cells are a type of hematopoietic cells.
It is a seed cell.
Why do I say so?
Because hematopoietic stem cells are a type of cell in the human body that has the function of proliferation and differentiation, they can generate various blood cells in the human body and are the seed cells of all blood cells in the human body.
What causes leukemia in patients?
Here is some scientific information.
Leukemia is a type of malignant clonal disease of hematopoietic stem cells. Clonal leukemia cells proliferate and accumulate in the bone marrow and other hematopoietic tissues due to uncontrolled proliferation, differentiation disorders, and blocked apoptosis, and infiltrate other non-hematopoietic tissues and organs, while inhibiting normal hematopoietic function.
Leukemia is actually the result of the suppression of hematopoietic function, which leads to pathological changes.
It is like an angel who has fallen and has become a fallen angel of the demon camp, committing all kinds of evil. It is also possible that his strength will increase greatly and he will turn around to deal with the angels who have not fallen.
The diseased leukemia cells can be understood as a part of the evil elements in the hematopoietic stem cells. After falling, they will kill all the normal hematopoietic stem cells.
Its proliferation rate is very fast, much higher than normal hematopoietic stem cells.
Even if it means losing one thousand of its own men but killing eight hundred of the enemy, it is a sure win.
This is why leukemia is difficult to treat.
Even if normal hematopoietic stem cells are implanted into the patient, it is possible that the disease will fail, or that it will be cured temporarily but relapse after a while.
Because the normal hematopoietic stem cells implanted in the past are equivalent to reinforcements sent to fight against the evil leukemia cells.
Maybe too few cells were implanted to defeat the wildly proliferating leukemia cells.
Or maybe even if you win this battle, the leukemia cells will come back to life and start counterattacking not long after.
This is a relapse of leukemia.
The treatment of childhood blood diseases that Li Quan learned from Qian Yi included methods for treating a variety of blood diseases.
Treating leukemia is just one of them.
Qian Yi's idea of treating leukemia is to find ways to improve the patient's immune system. This improvement is all-round, with multiple treatment methods being used simultaneously.
What is the effect of acupuncture?
Boost the patient's Qi and blood, allowing the patient's originally weak Qi and blood to gradually recover morale and restore vitality.
Therefore, the concept of treating leukemia with traditional Chinese medicine is actually fundamentally different from the hematopoietic stem cell transplantation developed by Western medicine.
Transplanting hematopoietic stem cells is like sending a permanent group of reinforcements into the patient's body.
This method is actually more like giving a man a fish.
The Chinese medicine method of treating leukemia may seem a bit like the foolish old man moving the mountain, but in fact it is a wise move. If you give a man a fish, he will eventually eat it all.
Teaching a man to fish is the best way to go.
Traditional Chinese medicine helps patients get back on their feet, restore their hematopoietic ability, fight a protracted battle, and even become stronger and stronger, ultimately truly eliminating the evil leukemia cells and being cured.
In the therapy room, Li Quan's forehead was already covered with sweat.
Because Sophie was only wearing underwear and she was weak, the air conditioning temperature in the room was set to over 25 degrees.
Leukemia patients are most afraid of infection and bleeding.
It is easy to catch a cold if you catch cold.
In the words of traditional Chinese medicine, this is when the external evil invades. It will be very troublesome and even fatal.
Li Quan loves Sophie that he would rather be as hot as a dog than let Sophie catch a cold.
If he were in the operating room, there might be a special nurse to wipe his sweat and pass him the needle. But now he doesn't have such treatment.
Only the future mother-in-law was standing opposite, staring at me with a nervous look on her face.
The mother-in-law doesn't feel sorry for her son-in-law who is sweating profusely from exhaustion. She is only worried that her daughter will be okay after having so many scary silver needles stuck in her body.
People are selfish.
Even relatives have different distances.
What's more, Li Quan is not a relative of Sophie's mother, he is just her future son-in-law.
In the eyes of the mother-in-law and father-in-law, daughter is definitely the most important.
After all, there is a layer of distance between us and our son-in-law.
This is why the ancients left behind a wise saying that will last forever: I would rather die of poverty than till my father-in-law's land, and I would rather die of starvation than work for my relatives.
Whether it is your father-in-law or your mother-in-law, they usually seem to care about you, but that is based on one thing: you are good to their daughter. Otherwise, they can turn against you in a minute.
More than six hours had passed and it was already past seven in the evening.
Li Quan was already starving, thirsty, hungry and tired. But he had to persevere.
Because if this treatment is not effective, there is a high probability that Sophie's parents will not give him another chance for treatment.
"There are only four stitches left, try harder!"
Li Quan's eyes became firm.
Sophie, on the other hand, actually fell asleep on the therapy bed. She looked like she was sleeping soundly.
The only thing to blame is Li Quan's superb acupuncture skills. Even though the silver needle, which seemed to be five or six inches long, pierced her, she didn't feel any pain at all.
There is another reason.
The acupuncture technique that Li Quan is performing has the effect of boosting qi and blood and inducing hypnosis.
Another half an hour passed and Li Quan finally finished the last injection.
Sophie's back turned a strange dark purple.
It looks very scary.
This is a bit like the corpse spots that appear on dead people.
If her breathing had not been so even and her body had not risen and fallen in a rhythmic manner, Sophie's mother would have screamed at the doctor to take her daughter to the emergency room for treatment.
"Auntie, this course of acupuncture treatment is completed." Li Quan breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeves.
Only then did he realize that his clothes were already soaked.
Next time I give you acupuncture, I’ll have to call a nurse to help me.
"Xiao Li, your silver needle looks scary. Will Xiaofei be okay?" Sophie's mother asked nervously.
" Don't worry. Sophie is not only fine, but will definitely get better." Li Quan said with a confident smile.
Because based on the medical skills he learned for treating childhood blood diseases, it contained Qian Yi's experience in treating patients.
If this scary purple color does not appear on the back, the effect will be poor or even no effect.
The darker the purple, the better the effect.
It may also be because Sophie has not been suffering from leukemia for long and is still in the early stages.
Therefore, the treatment effect will be more ideal.
"Buddha, please bless me, I wish my daughter could really get better. I am willing to set up an altar at home, burn incense every day to thank Buddha for his great grace." Sophie's mother clasped her hands together and muttered to herself.
Li Quan was speechless for a while.
It was obviously me who used my medical skills to treat Sophie, and that's why it worked.
No one can tell whether Bodhisattvas and gods exist.
More people believe in gods and Bodhisattvas, which is actually just a kind of belief, not superstition.
Sophie's mother's behavior is somewhat superstitious.
It's actually quite stupid.
Li Quan naturally didn't dare to scold his future mother-in-law for being ignorant. He looked at the time. It was already past seven in the evening. It was probably difficult to buy good food in the cafeteria.
He could handle a couple of bites easily, but Sophie had to strictly control her diet to ensure her safety.
I'll remove the needle after a while and see the effect.
