I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 146 - 120: The Least Challenging Cancer

"Dr. Lu, it’s not that scary, right?"

Upon hearing Lu Jiu’s words, Xu Yuanyuan felt as if she had committed an unforgivable crime in the past, which is why she got this disease.

"You think I’m being alarmist?" Lu Jiu chuckled, releasing Xu Yuanyuan’s wrist, "Let’s put it this way, if you had made even a slight mistake, you wouldn’t have ended up with breast cancer."

Lu Jiu couldn’t help but recall Xu Yuanyuan’s Five Viscera complaining about her tearful appearance earlier.

...

"Doctor, why are you only here now? She’s been tormenting us for so many years. We truly couldn’t find the words to express our suffering. When she was little, she refused to eat proper meals and kept snacking all day... And that dark stuff called cola, she drank it daily. It’s sour and weird; once it’s in, I don’t want to digest it."

...

"I just don’t get it. Over the past decade or two, the essence from food we’ve received has been pitifully little, yet there’s been an abundance of useless stuff. These things even forced me to prematurely shed blood, which was supposed to happen at fourteen, but it occurred three years early."

...

"Don’t be fooled by her being thin now; it’s due to hunger. She used to consume milk, cake, and cola, growing big like a cow. While others grew vertically, she grew horizontally. At her teens, she even started growing facial hair like a man’s beard."

...

"During intercourse, her belly was so cold that her blood could clot, and yet, she got pregnant? If she hadn’t eaten properly for half a year, she wouldn’t have conceived. But once she got pregnant, she began making trouble again. The baby was small, but without enough energy, it couldn’t be delivered naturally, leading to surgery, losing a lot of vital essence and blood. During recovery, she secretly ate snacks; as if I wanted to die, and she was in more of a hurry than I was."

...

Looking at Xu Yuanyuan’s surprised expression, Lu Jiu slowly spoke, "Your prolonged irregular eating habits have led to a deficiency in your constitution, a lack of vital energy and blood. That’s actually not too bad; it wouldn’t cause major problems. Overeating hormones as a child led to early development, depleting innate strength. That’s not a big deal; you could recover later."

"When you finally conceived, that period was a golden opportunity as your appetite opened up. Improving your diet could have led to recovery. Even if you had surgery, proper postnatal care could still allow you to recover. After childbirth, if you adjusted your lifestyle habits, had enough energy and blood, your milk supply would increase. The baby wouldn’t have to suck hard, and you wouldn’t face inflammation issues; excess milk wouldn’t stay and clog in your breast."

"Look at it this way, as long as your lifestyle habits improve and your energy and blood are sufficient, aren’t there numerous opportunities for you to recover? If even one link improves, you wouldn’t have developed breast cancer at such a young age."

"From beginning to end, it’s all because of your deficiency in energy and blood. If you eat properly and maintain adequate energy and blood, you wouldn’t face infertility issues. With sufficient energy and blood during pregnancy, there would be enough strength for natural delivery, avoiding surgery. After childbirth, with ample energy and blood, milk supply would flourish, offering your child the healthiest nutrition in the world; you could smoothly express milk avoiding breast congestion."

"Now, do you still think I’m trying to scare you?"

The lack of energy and blood is fundamentally a systemic issue; if the Five Viscera and Six Bowels don’t receive adequate nutritional supply, they’ll reasonably lower functioning to match the energy intake.

Simply put, they’ll work only as much as the resources provide.

This is when the Five Viscera and Six Bowels have no major issues and are willing to self-cut salary for work.

But if your wages are persistently low, occasionally placating them with snacks and drinks, that’s like making the Five Viscera work without fair pay.

Then you’ll witness the phenomenon of your inner workers uprising.

Exploitation is detrimental, even for your own body.

If it becomes a habit, the Five Viscera will reduce productivity, with the first step being a lack of yang energy.

Without enough yang, energy becomes fickle, leading to lethargy. Over time, excess yin dominates, forming a cold constitution.

This is the problem many girls face; uterine coldness is often due to insufficient staple food intake and excessive snacks.

Especially now, many foods are nutritious but low in energy, falsely filling stomachs without nourishing the Five Viscera and Six Bowels.

Pregnant women especially need energy-rich food, as breast milk is a transformation of energy and blood. With insufficient energy and blood, only a tiny bit of milk forms. But without enough energy, it can’t be expelled, leading to blockages.

Xu Yuanyuan gazed blankly at Lu Jiu, then lowered her head to look at her hands.

So, there were so many opportunities for her to avoid this disease.

"Dr. Lu, is there a remedy now?" Peng Hui no longer doubted Lu Jiu.

Being able to speak specifically about his wife’s lifestyle habits upon first meeting surely earned Dr. Lu the title of a miracle doctor.

"Yes, but I have a condition before treating you." Lu Jiu said.

A condition?

Peng Hui’s breathing quickened.

"Dr. Lu, just tell us. We agree to whatever you say."

Zhang Jiaoxia and Xu Yuanyuan were also visibly delighted.

"Starting today, she needs to follow my prescribed lifestyle and dietary habits strictly. If I find any deviation, I’m sorry, but regardless of the situation, I won’t treat her." Lu Jiu stated.

Peng Hui nodded repeatedly, "Agree, agree. We agree, Dr. Lu. I swear, we’ll do whatever you say, with no objections."

Peng Hui wasn’t unaware of how much truth or deceit lay in a doctor’s precise answer about cancer treatment.

However, the hospital’s claim was that post-surgery, she’d be fine for five years, with potential recurrence afterward.

To the hospital, perhaps five years was a generous estimate, but to Peng Hui, it was too short—fifty years would be more like it.

He understood well that the hospital couldn’t promise him fifty years.

So, whom could he trust?

Facing life and death, Peng Hui could only choose to be a gambler, because even a one-in-ten-thousand chance of winning meant hope.

"Good, remember what you said. Now, let her lie on the small bed inside, draw the curtain, and remove her top. I’ll start with Moxibustion." Lu Jiu instructed.

"Okay, okay." The three of them acted immediately.

Lu Jiu began preparing mugwort and ginger.

Why choose Moxibustion?

Because the breast cancer lump itself is an accumulation of milk; it is fundamentally blood and water. Knowing its true nature makes treatment much simpler.

What is the best substance to "find water" quickly?

Mugwort!

Thus, applying Ginger Moxibustion on the breast lump can quickly break it down, softening the lump in a short time, making subsequent treatment much easier.

Of course, this is most effective in the early stages of breast cancer. Once the breast lump grows larger or shows redness and swelling, Acupuncture is needed.

The reason Lu Jiu could confidently assure Peng Hui is because breast cancer, as long as it doesn’t involve surgery, is just a complex, difficult-to-treat problem for traditional Chinese medicine.

Though it carries the "cancer" label, glandular cancer is ten times easier to treat than visceral cancer.

Moreover, Lu Jiu knew the root cause of breast cancer was milk blockage, making it even simpler.

It is well known that the heart governs milk production; treat the heart, and you must treat the breast—it’s common sense.

Among all cancers, breast cancer poses the least challenge to Lu Jiu, provided surgery is avoided.

With the mugwort prepared, Lu Jiu carried it behind the curtain, then placed ginger and mugwort on Xu Yuanyuan’s breast lump, lighting it. A wisp of blue smoke wafted into the air...
