Chapter 264 Bloodletting Therapy Eliminated by the West
"Hehe, young man, you don't understand that. Bloodletting therapy originated in the West." Tang Chinese medicine doctor said with a cheerful smile, "Now you actually say that bloodletting therapy has been eliminated abroad? Isn't that ridiculous? "

Jing Xiaoran smiled lightly, and retorted: "Master Tang, your logic is wrong. If a thing originated in the West, it will always be popular in the West; according to what you said, the ancient football Cuju originated in China, so today's China How could China play football so badly? Similarly, table tennis originated in the UK, so why is China number one in the world now?"

Hearing this, Tang Chinese medicine practitioner squinted his eyes, fluttered his nose slightly, and showed some blue veins on his forehead, completely lacking the style of a master before.

"You are such a fool, and you have never been abroad, how can you conclude that bloodletting therapy has been eliminated by the West?"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Xu Yongnian on the side hurriedly said to Weng Huijin: "Xiao Jin, hurry up and persuade Dr. Xiao Jing, why did this happen all of a sudden! Didn't Tang Miracle doctor explain Chinese medicine treatment to everyone just now?" Is it a theory? Why is Dr. Xiao Jing starting to question bloodletting again?"

At this moment, Weng Huijin somewhat understood Jing Xiaoran's series of behaviors, most likely because he wanted to expose the true face of this Tang's Traditional Chinese Medicine Center.

So she whispered to Xu Yongnian: "Uncle, don't you think what Jing Xiaoran said makes sense? If this bloodletting therapy is really eliminated abroad, it proves that this therapy is problematic and flawed. We can't just take such a risk!"

"Oh." Xu Yongnian sighed, "Xiao Jin, this bloodletting therapy was broadcast on TV, and many domestic TV stations broadcast it in turn. How could it be a lie? This TV station is open to the whole country. Audience, does it dare to broadcast fake ones?"

"Uncle, all in all, let's see what this Tang Chinese medicine doctor has to say first." Weng Huijin said, "According to me, bloodletting therapy has certain risks, and you don't want to just do this kind of treatment in such a muddle, do you? It's better to be cautious!"

Seeing that Weng Huijin couldn't be persuaded, Xu Yongnian could only shake his head secretly, looked at Jing Xiaoran and Tang Chinese Medicine who were "confronting each other", and hoped that Tang Chinese Medicine could quickly settle Jing Xiaoran.

Xu Yongnian was really surprised by this kid who suddenly jumped out to deal with this. He just paid the "pre-diagnosis fee" to the Chinese Medicine Center for nothing.

At this time, Jing Xiaoran continued: "Master Tang, I know that bloodletting therapy appeared in the West, including Egypt and other places. It really has a long history and a long history. It can even be traced back to the Hippocrates period 2300 years ago. .”

Hippocrates, the originator of western medicine, firmly believed that human diseases are caused by the imbalance of blood, black bile, yellow bile, and mucus in the human body. The treatment method is to remove excess fluid, including bloodletting.

"Huh!" Tang Chinese medicine doctor snorted coldly, "You just need to know, and we also have a history of this kind of bloodletting therapy in China! In the highest guiding ideology of Chinese medicine - the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic, there are five elements Theories such as five elements, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Five elements and The four fluids are all due to the excess or deficiency of certain elements or substances that can cause disease, and these are justifying the name of bloodletting therapy!"

Jing Xiaoran heard the words, pondered and said: "Master Tang, although they are both bloodletting treatments, don't you know that there is an essential difference between Western bloodletting treatments and our Chinese bloodletting treatments? Bloodletting in Chinese medicine punctures capillaries. The amount of blood that flowed out was only a few milliliters. In western bloodletting, the blood is drawn from the veins, and the scene was quite bloody, which can be described as gushing out."

Huaxia's school-free therapy can be traced back to the pre-Qin and Han dynasties 2000 years ago; but Chinese medicine also believes that "blood" is a nutritious red liquid that runs in blood vessels, and Chinese medicine often uses "qi" and "blood" together. It is said that it is precious and cannot be released easily.

The Western bloodletting therapy really makes us terrified, about 12 to 13 ounces (about 340-370 grams, as much as a cup) of blood are drained at a time.

Others keep bleeding until the patient feels dizzy.

At that time, people mistakenly believed that bloodletting therapy was curative for all diseases.

So bloodletting therapy was abused.As long as you get sick, even if it's just a headache or a minor illness that can be cured without treatment, you need to do bloodletting.

……

But judging from the current medical theory and common sense, this therapy is obviously wrong, and human beings have paid the price of their lives for it.

"It's just that the blood vessels are different." Tang Chinese medicine doctor's tone was still firm. "The difference between the two is not big. On the contrary, both Chinese medicine and Western medicine affirm bloodletting therapy. Don't you deny this?"

Jing Xiaoran didn't answer, but asked instead: "Tang Chinese Medicine Doctor, may I ask which blood vessel is used for your bloodletting therapy?"

Tang Chinese medicine doctor said without hesitation: "Venous!"

"Really?" Jing Xiaoran smiled, "Washington, the founding president of the United States, was actually a fanatical believer in bloodletting therapy. Later, when he fell ill, the doctor performed bloodletting on him four times a day, and bleeds Washington's blood. Lost nearly 2500 milliliters of blood—about half of the human body's blood volume. The result is predictable, and Washington died of hemorrhagic shock."

"Prince Charles II of England also died of this bloodletting therapy."

"There are foreign literature reports that the death rate of patients treated with bloodletting is higher than that of other patients. May I show you this literature?"

"Tang Chinese medicine doctor, just tell me, is this kind of venous bloodletting useful or harmful?
For a while, Chinese medicine doctor Tang was a little silent. In the huge consulting room, several people were so quiet that needles could be heard.

In fact, in the West, there is continuous scientific evidence that bloodletting therapy is harmful to patients. This therapy, which has been popular for more than 2000 years, has finally stepped out of the stage of history in the West.

However, this bloodletting therapy, which has disappeared in the West, traveled thousands of miles across the ocean to China.

"That's not the case!" At this time, Xu Yongnian suddenly shouted, "If the bloodletting therapy is useless, then why does the blood sugar really drop after the bloodletting? I saw this with my own eyes. I was outside the clinic just now. A diabetic patient showed me all his tests."

Jing Xiaoran turned to look at Xu Yongnian, smiled and said, "Uncle, do you really want to know why blood sugar really dropped after bloodletting?"

"The reason is very simple. The released blood also reduces the blood volume in the human body. The human body will automatically adjust, so that the tissue fluid around the blood vessels will penetrate into the blood vessel cavity through the capillaries, and the blood sugar in the blood will of course drop. In fact, I have a simpler and more brutal way to lower blood sugar, just drink a lot of plain water before drawing blood, no money, no guilt! The principle is even the same as bloodletting therapy!"
