Pre-ALS symptoms are limb weakness with muscle atrophy and fasciculations, especially in the fingers.

As the disease progresses, the patient gradually manifests as severe muscle atrophy and stiffness, difficulty swallowing, slurred speech, dyspnea, atrophy and fibrillation of the tongue muscles, and finally the whole body is immobile, as if frozen.

At present, ALS is still a worldwide problem, and Western medicine can only use drugs to alleviate the progression of the disease.

As for traditional Chinese medicine, reports of this are rarely reported in the press.

From this point of view, the intention of the organizing committee is not only to test Qin Xiaochuan and Liu Zhibai, but also to find a breakthrough among the younger generation of Chinese medicine practitioners.

Liu Zhibai frowned, and Qin Xiaochuan also frowned.

And several judges sitting in the judges' seat not far away also had solemn faces.

Historically, people have a deep-rooted misconception that Chinese medicine is okay for health care, and that Western medicine is necessary to see a doctor. Therefore, after Wang Ziguan and several other judges discussed and agreed, they decided to release this big move, which is to test the practical ability of young Chinese medicine practitioners.

Because ALS is a problem that cannot be solved in the history of world medicine, even if Qin Xiaochuan and Liu Zhibai can't come up with an effective solution, they will not lose the face of traditional Chinese medicine.

Everything was expected by the two, since it was the final of the King of Medicine, it could not be as easy as the previous knockout round, otherwise, the title of the King of Medicine would be too worthless.

Liu Zhibai is the genius of the Liu family, and Wang Ziguan's proud student, and is considered by insiders to be Wang Ziguan's successor.

Qin Xiaochuan is equipped with Guiguzi's "Ghost Hand Thirteen Needles" stunt, and in the top 32 rounds, his superb medical skills and good medical ethics can be called the biggest surprise of this medical king competition.

No matter how the two win or lose, the Chinese Medicine Association will cultivate them both carefully.

Therefore, the judges did not deliberately design this difficult problem for them, but deliberately.

Seeing the meaningful gaze of his mentor Wang, Liu Zhibai nodded, took the lead in coming to the patient's side, and after looking and asking, he gently took the patient's pulse.

Pulse cutting is the last and most important part of TCM treatment, and the patient's physical condition is hidden in this slight beat.

After a few minutes, Liu Zhibai released the patient's wrist, and he already had a deep understanding of the patient's physical condition.

The patient has been suffering from ALS for at least five years, and the muscles at the finger end have atrophied, and even the part of the arm that leans into the armpit has begun to atrophy, and the internal organs have also been seriously damaged.

Liu Zhibai sighed secretly, but at this moment, he was already defeating the king in a desperate battle, and there was no way out. He took a deep breath, took out the needle box, and prepared to perform acupuncture on the patient.

The first stitch falls on the Tianquan acupoint below the shoulder.

Wang Ziguan bowed slightly, and could roughly guess Liu Zhibai's treatment plan. The Tianquan acupoint is the key acupoint through the Hand Que Yin Pericardial Sutra.

Because the patient has been suffering from ALS for five years, the reason why the finger ends appear to atrophy is closely related to the lack of blood supply and oxygen supply to the heart. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the blood and oxygen supply from the heart to the fingers is achieved through the hand and yin pericardial meridians, and the Tianquan acupoint is an important checkpoint in this meridian. Only by opening up the Tianquan acupoint can it be possible to restore the blood supply and oxygen supply to the fingers, so as to rejuvenate the muscles that have atrophied.

Liu Zhibai fell a few needles, Wang Ziguan and other judges kept nodding, feeling that Liu Zhibai had a solid foundation in acupuncture and gave full play to the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine.

After more than ten minutes, Liu Zhibai's face turned red because of the consumption of true qi, and bursts of mist appeared above his head, and the audience sitting in the audience suddenly had the feeling of watching a costume martial arts drama.

It turns out that in those TV series, luck heals wounds, not nonsense, but the so-called imperial qi acupuncture.

Qin Xiaochuan also quickly got the needle.

However, the treatment he chose was very different from Yoo's. He chose to put the needle on the Tianling acupoint above the patient's head.

This was unexpected by Wang Ziguan and other judges, they were all surprised, this kid is too bold!

The victory of the Chinese democratic revolution was based on the strategy of encircling the cities from the countryside, while the October victory in Russia began in the cities. There is no right or wrong way to use these two methods, as long as it suits the national conditions, either one will do.

There are also two ways to treat ALS, one is to alleviate the patient's symptoms first and solve the problem fundamentally, as Liu Zhibai did, and the second is the method used by Qin Xiaochuan, which directly starts from the root of the problem.

Since ALS is a type of motor neuron disease, it is treated directly to the brain.

Liu Zhibai's method is safe, but the course of treatment is very long, while Qin Xiaochuan is bold and aggressive, but if it is effective, the course of treatment for the patient's cure will be greatly shortened.

There is a kind of person called Yigao and bold, and he is talking about Qin Xiaochuan.

In the eyes of others, Liu Zhibai chose to start from the periphery, which is a cautious attitude, but Liu Zhibai doesn't think so.

Liu Zhibai knows that ALS is a worldwide problem, and it is impossible to cure it fundamentally, and he chooses to start from the periphery, as long as the patient's current symptoms can be effectively solved, then he can be invincible in this competition.

He guessed that Qin Xiaochuan must also know this, and would take the same method as himself. Then, the victory or defeat between them depends on whose cultivation is strong and the true qi in the body is more.

However, Qin Xiaochuan's choice this time was a surprise to everyone, and he chose a risky method.

The reason why a strong person is strong is that he dares to think about what people in the world dare not think and do what people in the world dare not do.

Grandmasters like Wang Ziguan and several other judges, or people close to the strength of grandmasters, all understand that choosing to treat ALS from the Tianling acupoint means that the twelve meridians in the patient's body, such as the Ren Pulse, the Du Pulse, and the Shou Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian, must be opened up, so that the patient can recover his vitality.

It's not self-humility, Wang Ziguan doesn't have the courage to try, because not only does it require a strong True Qi as support, but it also takes a long enough time to treat.

They didn't understand, how could Qin Xiaochuan dare to choose such a bold method? It must be that after he entered the finals, his ambition swelled and he was eager to get the title of King of Medicine?

Hey, I'm still too young and mentally immature.

After Liu Zhibai saw the part of Qin Xiaochuan's needle, he was just stunned for a moment, and then he secretly laughed, sneering, sneering, and finally laughing happily.

The teacher praised him yesterday for being the first person in China, but he regarded himself as the first person in China.

This kid is too self-conscious!
