Is it written in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that wild boar is a beast?

It is indeed written, but there are only a few sentences on it:

Smell, meat: sweet, flat, non-toxic.

Indications, meat: cure epilepsy, nourish the skin, benefit the five organs, make people weak and fat, and do not lose wind and deficiency. Fat: After refining, the wine is served. It is taken three times a day to make the woman breastfeed, and even if there is no breastfeeding. It also removes wind swelling and poison, and cures scabies.

Judging from these words, the most reliable curative effect of wild boar, summed up by Mr. Li Shizhen, is only one in the final analysis - it can be eaten and nutritious!

As for the rest of the function of treating scabies, it can actually be explained, and it is said that wild boar can be replaced with any kind of animal or even plant that can refine oil.

There is nothing magical about treating scabies with wild boar oil.

Rural pigs often apply waste engine oil or waste diesel fuel to pigs with ringworm, in fact, there is no essential difference with the use of wild boar oil. Both serve only one purpose – to keep out the air. As aerobic microorganisms, the fungus that causes ringworm is naturally limited in its growth after being isolated from oxygen by oil, so that the infected person or pig has the opportunity to rely on its own resistance to remove the fungus, and the ringworm can naturally be cured!

As for the mysterious function or principle they said, where was it written in the "Compendium of Materia Medica"?

The Compendium of Materia Medica, as a masterpiece of Chinese medicine and even botany, is not a rare book at all. As long as you look for a large general bookstore, you can find both vernacular and classical Chinese.

If you have the heart to verify, it is easy to expose this kind of false scam, and you can use such a crowd. It's so much to say, with a nose and an eye. Is this really reliable?

Besides. Wild boars are not the ones who swallow dates, although they survive in the wild, they naturally have a chance to eat snakes. But even if this is a poisonous snake to eat its prey, it is to strangle the prey to death before swallowing it, could it be that this wild boar saw that the poisonous snake could be eaten, so he grinned and lost his big teeth, and simply swallowed the snake alive without chewing?

And in order to make it give itself a bite in the stomach, leave a souvenir of the visit. These wild boars also have to stop secreting gastric juice and reduce peristalsis in the gastrointestinal tract. Let them give themselves a bite before turning into pig manure. In this way, as long as you survive the snake venom casually, you can prove that you are enough pigs and gentlemen?

Nonsense!

Assuming that the wild boar is really hungry and really swallows the poisonous snake into its stomach, there is indeed a possibility that the poisonous snake will bite the stomach wall of the wild boar when it struggles in the stomach.

But that's only a possibility.

Soaking in gastric juice with such a high level of oxygen and acidity, this venomous snake can survive for a very limited time. Undoubtedly, wanting to bite into the sticky stomach wall is for a venomous snake with only a pair of fangs. This is obviously more difficult than biting through the legendary invulnerable boar skin!

After all, snakes have never had the habit of biting their prey, and their bite force is not strong at all. Even rubber boots that don't use lubricant are hard to bite through, how can you bite through the stomach wall with a lot of lubricating mucus?

If the stomach lining is really so easy to destroy, then I don't know how many times people who have pica and eat nails and glass indiscriminately, as well as those thieves who devour face-shaving blades in order to escape detention. No matter how sharp the teeth of a poisonous snake are, can it have a shaving blade, or even a sharp edge of broken glass?

In this way, if you want to bite the stomach wall, it is obviously just a legend, and the poisonous snake wants to retaliate, so you can only think of another way.

For example, a cobra that can spray snake venom, if it is in the process of raising or catching, it is likely to spray snake venom in self-defense, and if it is accidentally splashed into the human eye by snake venom, it is likely to cause eye poisoning, and in serious cases, it can even cause blindness to the injured.

However, this is also ineffective in the digestive tract.

From the perspective of snake venom, whether it is a neurotoxin or a blood toxin, it is only protein in itself.

Proteins are easily denatured in a highly acidic stomach environment, and even if they are not denatured, they will be broken down into harmless products due to contact with pepsin. Even if a very small number of snake venom survive the small intestine, there is still chymotrypsin secreted by the pancreas.

Want to give a color to a wild boar?

It is more reliable to hope that after this poisonous snake turns into pig dung, it will be reincarnated and have the opportunity to become other carnivores that feed on wild boars.

Not to mention wild boars, if you change the mucous membrane of the digestive tract, you will not have any problems if you change the mucous membrane of your digestive tract, but you are afraid that there will be no problem if you pour two or two snake venom into the stomach!

Eating a wild boar with a poisonous snake can cure stomach problems, if you change to a wild boar that eats feces every day, can this wild boar belly still treat chronic colitis, colon cancer and even pseudomembranous colitis caused by Clostridium difficile infection?

If Xu Yi really said, I am afraid that such a wild boar may be a wild boar with an extremely unhealthy gastrointestinal tract, and the wild boar belly that has grown into this virtue not only cannot be used as medicine, but is not even suitable as food.

It is said that the living conditions have been better in recent years, and few people go to the vegetable market to buy those freshwater dead fish directly, after all, this thing has potential harm to the human body. As for the dead pork, everyone can't avoid it, and those who hear it change color. Not to mention rice and pork, even in the countryside, there is often no market.

Why is this boiled wild boar's belly more and more valuable?

A few years ago, Wang Laoliu, a pig raised in the village, a pig became thinner and thinner, and after killing, there was a scar the size of a copper coin in the stomach, which raised into the stomach like a flowering steamed bun. And the color on this scar is not right, like the yellow-green of a pig's bitter gall. Wang Lao Liu was afraid that the pig had a stomach tumor, not only did his family not dare to eat it, but he didn't even dare to take this to feed the dog, so he directly dug a pit and buried the pork belly.

After Xu Yi heard about this, he curiously went to find some information, only to learn that it was a pig with a stomach ulcer.

The process and performance of this pig ulcer are the same as that of humans, and the mucosal epithelium is destroyed, forming an erosive and uneven surface, and ulcers and bleeding are formed after the last ulcer. In severe cases, the edge of the ulcer is recurrent inflammatory exudation and granulation proliferation, forming a ring embankment, and even producing a crater like stomach cancer.

When there are domestic pigs carefully fed by their owners and stomach ulcers, the same is true for this wild boar. Ulcers are inevitable.

If you have an ulcer, you will have stomach pain, stomach pain, and go to the hospital to see a doctor. But who did this wild boar go to see a doctor? I think I can only rely on it to carry it on its own. Needless to say, those who can't resist either die themselves, or become picky eaters and emaciated because of stomach discomfort, either freeze and starve to death in the harsh season or become some kind of carnivore stool. Only those with milder ulcers and strong enough bodies will continue to survive.

Granulation tissue is not a gastric mucosal cell, cannot secrete that layer of mucus to protect cells, and is even more intolerant to acids. There is no ability to resist stomach acid at all. Even people often have to rely on long-term cultivation, eat something that is easy to digest and wait for the mucosa to repair and avoid re-damaging the ulcer surface.

There is no one to treat the domestic pigs, and it is inevitable that they will be stabbed, who can take care of this wild boar?

Compared with wild boars, domestic pigs are much more comfortable at least when they are alive, and they can be fed three meals a day. Even when it is a cold day, there are owners who feed them hot pig food. Wild boars, which are digging in the soil and living a hungry meal, often eat desperately when they can eat. In order to accumulate more calories to carry through those times when there is nothing to eat, this overeating combined with prolonged hunger can easily lead to digestive problems.

In addition, wild boars have a mixed diet. The ulcer surface is more likely to be corroded by gastric acid and die, making the ulcer recurring, getting bigger and bigger, and making it more and more difficult to heal due to long-term hunger. It is not even excluded that new ulcers will develop due to damage to the stomach lining.

Xu Yi had never seen a wild boar's belly, so he didn't know what the boils on it were. Thinking about it, this ulcer should be what they call a "boil" in their mouth.

Speaking of boils in traditional Chinese medicine, it is defined in this way, referring to malignant sores with sudden pathological changes and systemic symptoms. Western medicine has almost no description of boils: boils are acute purulent diseases with rapid onset, easy changes and high risk.

If boils occur in the skin, they often appear locally as red, swollen, hot, painful, and small nodules, and can gradually increase in size, showing a cone-shaped bulge. Then the center softens, and a small white pus plug appears, if this manifestation occurs on the gastric mucosa, is this different from an ulcer, and how can it be proved that it is not a gastric ulcer?

Human gastric ulcers can be divided into three stages endoscopically.

Active phase: The base of the ulcer is covered with white or yellowish-white thick lichen, and the surrounding mucosa is congested and edema, or the surrounding mucosal hyperemia and edema begin to subside, and the surrounding area is surrounded by redness formed by regenerated epithelium.

Healing phase: the ulcer shrinks and becomes shallow, the lichen becomes thinner, the redness formed by the surrounding regenerated epithelium surrounds the ulcer, and the mucosal folds concentrate towards the ulcer, or the ulcer surface is almost covered by the regenerated epithelium, and the mucosal folds are more concentrated towards the ulcer.

Scarring stage: The white lichen at the base of the ulcer disappears, showing a red scar, which turns into a white scar after the last scar.

No matter what virtue this so-called "boil" grows into, it can't escape the three stages of endoscopic ulcers.

The wild boar's own stomach problems have this kind of virtue, how can you expect this thing to cure people's diseases?

Although Xu Yi studied Western medicine, he did not become a complete black Chinese medicine, only admitting that Chinese medicine has its limitations, and does not think that this thing is really useless.

As a traditional medicine, Chinese medicine has also produced a lot of very effective theoretical and practical experience in thousands of years of practice.

However, in today's blind pursuit of "health" and "health preservation", I don't know how many plausible things like wild boar belly are mixed in traditional Chinese medicine, which is the reason why the slogan of abolishing traditional Chinese medicine is now becoming more and more dusty.

Xu Yi couldn't help but think that if this is the case, in fact, there are many so-called "folk prescriptions" and other similar things.

Like the example I saw when I was a child, one of them is very typical: if a child has nocturia and polywetting, there will be an old man who will say to the child's parents: so-and-so family has killed pigs, and you, the father/mother, will go and ask them for pig urine bubbles - that is, pig bladders to eat.

But does this thing really work?

I'm afraid that after eating, the family will not be short of bedding to dry the next morning, and there will still be a few more irregular circles on the overlapping map.

This eating pig urine bubble to treat bedwetting is similar to eating human blood steamed buns to treat tuberculosis. When children grow up, in addition to being able to experience their parents' intentions, they can also experience a disgusting black history!

Thinking about it this way, there are some examples of such so-called prescriptions entering medical books.

For example, in the "Compendium of Materia Medica", there is a recipe for thatched toilet paper and pedal ash to be used to cure diseases!

Take crabs, for example.

For example, it is said in "Pearl Capsule Supplemental Medicinal Properties" that the crab owner has a hot chest, yellow can turn paint into water, and claws can break blood and have an abortion. "Lei Gong Cannon Burning Medicine Solution" also records that the crab owner scatters blood and breaks knots, nourishes qi and nourishes essence, and removes chest heat and boredom. Pounding paint sores can treat bruises, broken tendons and fractures, bruises, swelling and pain, postpartum congestion and abdominal pain, dystocia, and afterbirth. Crab claws are supplemented with rice wine, added with water and decoction, and then added to Ejiao, which is the medicine for inducing labor and lower fetus.

Xu Yi is actually very skeptical of such a statement, the ancients' understanding of allergies is incomplete, and there are few descriptions of this. If a person with a heterogeneous protein allergy eats a crab, it is likely that they will have diarrhea due to the allergy, or they will have diarrhea because they are late for the spoiled crab.

It is said that diarrhea is definitely a major cause of miscarriage, and it is completely unreasonable to blame crabs for miscarriage instead of investigating the causes of personal constitution.

Even if there is no fault of the crab, it is difficult to say that there is no possibility that after eating the crab, there is a possibility that the miscarriage occurred due to other problems, and the crab became angry.

In today's emphasis on dietary diversity, crabs, as a food with high protein content, as long as they are guaranteed to be fresh and uncontaminated, are completely suitable for normal pregnant women, and there are no contraindications at all.

The saying of "medicine and food have the same origin" is ancient, but it has also introduced many strange things into traditional Chinese medicine, or some traditional Chinese medicine theories have been introduced into the dining table. Even because the theory of "four natures" and "five flavors" of traditional Chinese medicine is applied to food, how absurd is it to distinguish each food into "four natures" and "five flavors"?

According to this theory, everything that is born in the water is cold, and everything that flies in the sky is often hot, so why do you think that the wild ducks and geese that do not stay in the water all day long are regarded as cool ingredients, but the yellow eel is a fish that is boiled down to heat?

In particular, with the prevalence of the trend of universal health care today, those who often tell you about traditional Chinese medicine are actually cooks! What "mung beans and eggplants can cure all diseases", what "medicine is not as good as food supplements", and what "no medicine can cure all diseases" are far more prevalent than orthodox medical treatment.

It is conceivable that people who say such things, not to mention Western medical literacy, even Chinese medicine literacy, what health care effect can what they say?

When Xu Yi was in the hospital of traditional Chinese medicine at the end of last year, he also heard Director Lin reading the newspaper there, slapping the table and angrily scolding the deputy director of a health department in other provinces for promoting the opening of the second pulse of Ren and Governor and the miraculous effect of pig trotters in curing diseases......

Xu Yi took the newspaper and looked at it, it turned out that there was more than that, and even the provincial Department of Health, the Department of Commerce, and the Food and Drug Administration jointly issued a document, requiring "medical institutions above the second level to set up a medicinal diet department", mainly to promote "pig's trotter soup" and "astragalus water".

Thinking about it, Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh - how can such a Chinese medicine not decline! (To be continued......)

PS: Thank you for the swing rippling children's shoes monthly pass support.

Well, it's better to change it in advance, and go to bed after it! Tomorrow, I will sleep a little lazy and get up to work overtime, and I don't have time to write during the day, so I don't have to surf the Internet.

As usual, a small chapter was sent, and everyone had a great weekend.
