I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 315 - 281: Treating the Untreatable

"It’s really uncomfortable, blocked again, Fei Jin, why is the Qi weak?" said Liver Wood.

"I don’t know," said Fei Jin.

"You’re in charge of the whole body’s Qi dynamics and you don’t know?" said Liver Wood.

"Mm," said Fei Jin.

"Nonsense, you just don’t want to say," said Liver Wood.

"Mm," said Fei Jin.

"You..." said Liver Wood.

"Stop arguing, both of you. It’s because his blood is low, so the Qi is obviously not enough. Ever since the Hydronephrosis problem, my transportation and transformation ability isn’t great either. The decrease in Qi and blood is something you’re well aware of," said Spleen Earth.

"There’s a use even if it’s low, clearly it’s not willing to help me clear the congestion," said Liver Wood.

"Yes, yes," said Fei Jin.

"What do you mean? Are you looking for a fight?" said Liver Wood.

"All of you, shut up. If you keep arguing, none of you will live," said Heart Fire.

"It was Fei Jin who mocked first," said Liver Wood.

"Shut up, you talk so much every day, just do your job, why so much nonsense," said Heart Fire.

"But her eyes are having problems, and the condition is worsening every day. If I don’t clear the blockage, she’ll go blind!" said Liver Wood.

"Do you think I don’t know? Her eyes are damaged, do you think I’m unaffected?" said Heart Fire.

"Then why just watch?" said Liver Wood.

"How can you say I’m just watching? Hydronephrosis is deficient, I speed up circulation to compensate for it, letting Spleen Earth send more post-heaven essence, and what happens? She eats irregularly, disrupting everything. Originally it was just a Hydronephrosis issue, but now Spleen Earth is also harmed. How do you expect me to handle this? Essence and blood share the same source. If there’s not enough blood, how can essence not be deficient? She even cuts off the source of food energy from Spleen and Stomach; how can the eye problem recover?" said Heart Fire.

"Then help me clear the congestion," said Liver Wood.

"Prolonged insufficiency of Qi and blood has already made her deficient in both Yin and Yang, and the whole body’s Yang Qi is insufficient. How am I supposed to help you clear the congestion? Even if I want to, even if I jump hundreds of times immediately, the congestion can be cleared, but she’d die!" said Heart Fire.

"This..." said Liver Wood.

"So, don’t complain to me. If there was a way, this wouldn’t be an issue. Last warning, I’m very tired. If you argue again, none of us will survive!" said Heart Fire.

Deficiency in both Yin and Yang, along with blood stasis.

It looks like the symptoms are quite clear now.

From the pulse, the deficient areas should be the Spleen and Kidney.

Both Spleen and Kidney Yang are deficient, and Kidney also has Yin deficiency, while Liver has blood stasis blocking it.

With such complex symptoms, it’s evident that both acupuncture and herbal medicine are needed.

Lu Jiu let go and smiled, "Your retinitis pigmentosa is actually due to Spleen and Kidney Yang deficiency, Kidney Yin deficiency, coupled with blood stasis. There are too many causes to explain, which you might not fully understand, so I’ll directly tell you how to treat it. For this illness, I need to first clear the stasis and open the orifices, then restore the symptoms of spleen deficiency, and finally nourish the kidney. Throughout the process, both acupuncture and herbal medicine are essential, meaning you need to undergo acupuncture and take Chinese medicine."

"Of course, I’m unsure of the effectiveness for now. This illness is also new to me, but as long as my differentiation is mostly correct, your vision issue has the potential to recover. Rest assured, even if I can’t cure it, your eyes won’t worsen. As for whether you can fully recover to a normal state, it depends on various factors."

"First, your diet definitely needs changes, both in terms of what and when you eat. The second is the sleep issue; the best way to protect the eyes is sleep. Adequate sleep is the best way to protect vision; no action or medicine can match the effect of sleep. The third is your mood; I know you’re scared of going blind now, but I can clearly tell you that with your Five Viscera condition, blindness is unlikely for now. So, keep your mindset calm and don’t panic excessively. The fourth is exercise; our health rehabilitation department has an exercise method to train the eyes, which you must practice along with."

"As long as you can achieve the above four points and cooperate with the treatment, there’s an eighty percent chance that in two weeks, your vision may improve. At the very least, night blindness will certainly reduce."

Mao Ronghua’s eye condition is mainly due to internal body issues. The changes in the blood vessels and blood in her eyes originate mainly from the spleen and kidneys. Once these two areas are resolved, the eye condition naturally will be resolved.

Furthermore, her eyes haven’t suffered any significant organic lesions, nor has the eyeball been subjected to any external damage.

Therefore, it shouldn’t be too hard to treat.

Western medicine has no solution for this disease and even labels it as eye cancer. It’s not that Western medicine is ineffective; the disease simply falls outside its domain.

If it were nearsightedness, cataracts, or such, interventions could be made on the eyeball.

But for this disease, meddling with the eyeball is futile.

And regulating the Five Viscera and Six Bowels isn’t something Western medicine excels at, hence it becomes incurable.

Although Lu Jiu encountered this illness for the first time, he’s seen numerous rare and complex diseases. Even though he hasn’t seen this before, the principle remains the same. As long as he adjusts the affected viscera properly, the eyes will naturally recover.

This is akin to how traditional Chinese medicine treats epidemics without needing to identify the virus’s source.

Even without prior exposure, it can still cure!

Mao Ronghua was delighted upon hearing this.

She didn’t expect Lu Jiu could actually treat it.

She thought it was just a gamble, and it turned out it was a winning bet!

"Dr. Lu, are you sure it’s only two weeks?" Mao Ronghua asked with a smile tinged with disbelief.

Lu Jiu laughed, "Two weeks is based on you completely following my advice. If you do well, the time may shorten; if not, it will lengthen. So, the decision is not in my hands, but yours!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Mao Ronghua nodded heavily, "I promise to follow your instructions. Whatever you say, I’ll do it."

Lu Jiu smiled and said, "Alright, then I’ll draft a treatment plan for you."

Mao Ronghua requires treatment from four aspects.

Acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary therapy, and Nine Yang Eye Refining.

For acupuncture and herbal medicine, there’s no need to write a plan, but for dietary therapy and Nine Yang Eye Refining, a detailed plan is required.

What to eat every day, at what time to eat, how much, Lu Jiu wrote very detailed instructions and also provided substitutions for similar dishes to prevent the routine of eating the same things from becoming monotonous, and then there’s Nine Yang Eye Refining.

Lu Jiu tried this cultivation technique for some time. Although he’s not nearsighted and has no eye problems, every time after practicing, he indeed felt his eyes were particularly clear and brightness improved a bit.

After practice, even if he didn’t close his eyes to rest for the whole day, there wouldn’t be any fatigue.

Later, he stopped practicing as the medical clinic got busy, but recently, Lu Jiu started it up again.

After all, the body consumes every day, while also accumulating some filth. Doing these exercises is like cleaning the body’s waste, helping the Five Viscera lighten their load. By protecting them, it’s equivalent to protecting oneself.

As a practitioner of Chinese medicine, if Lu Jiu can’t align his knowledge with his actions, how can he persuade patients to change their bad habits?

After writing the treatment plan, Lu Jiu handed it to Mao Ronghua.

Next, Lu Jiu had to give her acupuncture.

Mao Ronghua was also particularly cooperative, coming to the side of the small bed at Lu Jiu’s signal.

Lu Jiu picked up the finest needle and started to move.

His speed was astonishing.

Jingming, Qiu Hou, Shanging, Hegu, Guangming, Baihui, Pishu, Shenyu, Mingmen...

Combining main points with extraordinary points outside the meridians, employing a balanced tonifying and reducing technique.

This is to open the orifices and clear the stasis.
