Chapter 265: Boost Qi and Blood
To use acupuncture to treat leukemia, we must first get the key points of these two major organs.
At the same time, these two major points are located right above the vertebrae.
Blood and bones are inseparable.
First of all, these two major points are of great significance.
Many medical scholars know that bone marrow is the main organ of hematopoiesis.
The main purpose of bone marrow transplantation is to restore the patient's hematopoietic function.
Many people may think that hematopoietic stem cells are bone marrow.
This is an absolutely erroneous perception.
The bone marrow cavity consists of hematopoietic cells and the bone marrow stroma. Whereas, hematopoietic stem cells belong to a type of hematopoietic cell.
It is a seed cell.
Why?
Because hematopoietic stem cells are a kind of cells in the human body with the function of proliferation and differentiation, they can produce 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's a little bit of a score.
Leukemia is a malignant clonal disease of hematopoietic stem cells. Clonal leukemia cells proliferate and accumulate in the bone marrow and other hematopoietic tissues due to mechanisms such as uncontrolled proliferation, impaired differentiation, and blocked apoptosis, and infiltrate other non-hematopoietic tissues and organs, while inhibiting normal hematopoietic function.
Leukemia is actually the inhibition of hematopoietic function and the occurrence of lesions.
It's like an angel who falls and becomes a fallen angel in the demon camp, doing all kinds of evil. And it is possible that the strength will increase greatly, and turn back to deal with the angel who has not fallen.
Diseased leukemia cells can be understood as some evil elements in hematopoietic stem cells, and after falling, all normal hematopoietic stem cells must be killed.
It multiplies very quickly, much higher than normal hematopoietic stem cells.
Even if it is a way of playing with a thousand self-losses and eight hundred kills, it will win and not lose.
This is why leukemia is difficult to treat.
Even if normal hematopoietic stem cells are implanted into the patient's body, they may fail, or they may be cured temporarily, and then relapse after a while.
Because the implantation of normal hematopoietic stem cells in the past is equivalent to sending reinforcements to deal with evil leukemia cells.
It may implant too little to defeat the proliferating leukemia cells.
Or maybe the battle was won, and it didn't take long for the leukemia cells to resurrect and start to fight back again.
This is the recurrence of leukemia.
Li Quan learned from Qian Yi that the treatment of blood diseases in young children includes the treatment of a variety of blood diseases.
Treating leukemia is just one of them.
Qian Yi's concept of treating leukemia is to find ways to improve the patient's immunity. This boost is an all-round boost, with multiple healing methods being applied at the same time.
What is the role of acupuncture?
Boost the patient's qi and blood, so that the patient's originally weak qi and blood can restore morale and vitality little by little.
Therefore, the concept of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of leukemia is essentially different from the transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells researched by Western medicine.
Transplanting hematopoietic stem cells is a permanent effort to send a group of reinforcements into the patient's body.
This method is actually a bit like teaching people to fish.
And the method of treating leukemia in Chinese medicine looks a bit like a fool moving mountains, a bit stupid. In fact, he is wise and foolish, and he gives people fish, and there will always be a time when he will finish eating.
Teaching people to fish is king.
Traditional Chinese medicine is to help patients get back on their feet and regain their hematopoietic ability, which can fight a protracted battle. Even getting stronger and stronger, and finally truly destroying the evil leukemia cells and being cured.
In the physiotherapy room, Li Quan's forehead was already full of sweat.
Because Sophie was only wearing underwear, coupled with her weak body, the temperature of the air conditioner in the room was adjusted to more than 25 degrees.
Leukemia patients are most afraid of infection and bleeding.
If you are exposed to cold, you are prone to colds.
In the words of traditional Chinese medicine, external evil spirits invade at this time. When the time comes, it will be very troublesome, even fatal.
Li Quan loves Sophie so much, he must have preferred to be a dog himself than let Sophie suffer from the cold.
If he is in the operating room, there may be a special nurse to help him wipe his sweat and hand him silver needles. Now he doesn't have that treatment.
Only the future mother-in-law stood on the opposite side with a nervous face.
The mother-in-law doesn't feel sorry for her son-in-law who is tired and sweating, she is only worried that her daughter has so many terrible silver needles on her body, will it be okay?
People are selfish.
Even relatives are far and near.
What's more, Li Quan is not Sophie's mother's relative, but just her quasi-son-in-law.
In the eyes of the mother-in-law and father-in-law, the daughter is definitely the most important.
After all, the son-in-law is separated by a layer.
This is also why the ancients would leave a good saying for the ages, if you die poor, you don't plow people's fields, and you don't work with relatives when you starve to death.
Whether it's a father-in-law or a mother-in-law, I usually look at you and ask for warmth, it's all based on a foundation. You are good to their daughter. Otherwise, they can turn on you in minutes.
More than six hours had passed, and it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.
Li Quan was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, thirsty, hungry and tired. But he had to hold on.
Because if this treatment does not work, there is a high probability that Sophie's parents will not give him a second chance to be treated.
"There are only four stitches left, work hard!"
Li Quan's eyes became firm.
On the contrary, Sophie actually fell asleep on the physiotherapy bed. It looks like I slept quite soundly.
If you want to blame, you can only blame Li Quan's acupuncture level is too powerful, it seems that the silver needle five or six inches long is pricked, but she doesn't even feel any pain.
There is one more reason.
The acupuncture technique that Li Quan is performing has the effect of boosting qi and blood and hypnosis.
Another half an hour passed, and Li Quan finally finished the last shot.
Sophie's back turned an eerie dark purple.
It looks very scary.
It's a bit like a corpse spot that only happens to dead people.
If it weren't for the fact that her breathing was always very even, and her body was slightly undulating and very restrained, Sophie's mother would have screamed for the doctor to take her daughter to the emergency room for rescue.
"Auntie, the silver needles for this course of treatment are finished. Li Quan breathed a sigh of relief and waved his sleeves to wipe the sweat off his face.
Only then did he realize that the clothes inside were already soaked.
The next time I get a silver needle, I'll have to call a nurse to help.
"Xiao Li, your silver needle looks weird and scary, Xiao Fei will be fine, right?" asked Sophie's mother nervously.
"You can rest assured. Not only is Sophie fine, but she will definitely get better. Li Quan said with a confident smile.
Because according to the special medical skills he learned for children's blood diseases, there is Qian Yi's experience in treating patients.
If this scary purple color does not appear on the back, the effect is not good, or even ineffective.
The darker the purple, the better the effect.
It may also be related to Sophie's leukemia for a short time, which belongs to the early stage.
Therefore, when treating, the effect will be more ideal.
"Bodhisattva bless, if only my daughter could really get better. I am willing to set up a tablet in my home and burn incense every day to thank the Bodhisattva for his great kindness. Sophie's mother clasped her hands together and said something in her mouth.
Li Quan was speechless for a while.
Obviously, he used his medical skills to treat Sophie, which made the effect good.
Whether there are bodhisattvas and gods or not, no one can say.
More people believe in God and Bodhisattva, but in fact it is just a kind of faith. And not superstition.
Sophie's mother, this behavior is somewhat superstitious.
Actually, it's quite stupid.
Li Quan naturally didn't dare to scold the future mother-in-law for being ignorant. He looked at the time, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening, and it was difficult to buy good meals in the cafeteria.
He could handle two mouthfuls casually, but Sophie had to strictly control her diet to ensure her safety.
After a while, I will withdraw the needle and see the effect.
