It is true that it is not a road, Zhang Cheng knows his own family affairs, and Chinese medicine starts with empirical medicine and the five elements of yin and yang, although the interpretation of the human body can also be justified, but foreigners do not believe in this set - in fact, the theory of the five elements of yin and yang is closer to the metaphysical viewpoint.

However, since the human body is a small universe, there is nothing wrong with bringing metaphysics into human medicineβ€”probably the same thought of the ancestors.

Zhang Cheng comprehensively examined the eight volunteer patients, and six of them were attacked, and Zhang Cheng prescribed three different prescriptions for treatment according to the severity of the disease.

This caused Dr. Dawson to be puzzled, and asked Zhang Cheng during the dispensing: "Since you said that they are all caused by diet, are they really attacking?" So why not use one drug. ”

Zhang Cheng: "There are priorities for the disease, you see that the lesions of these people are not the same, some have eye pain, some have toothache, some have lesions in the lungs, and some lesions are in the stomach, indicating that the difference in the condition is still relatively large." Therefore, it is necessary to use different drugs to treat according to the condition, of course, if they all drink Sanhuang soup to defeat the fire, it will also have some effect, but it is not the best plan for them. ”

Dawson saw that Zhang Cheng only planned to prepare a total of five Chinese medicines and asked, "What about the remaining two?" ”

Zhang Cheng: "Those two are not really attacking, they are kidney deficiency." I said that the more Chinese medicine you take, the greater the burden on your kidneys. So the two of them are not suitable for taking so many Chinese medicines, you see this is for them to eat - wolfberry, just eat a few grains a day. ”

Dawson remembers that the remaining two volunteers had back pain, but one had a fever and sweating. One is chills in the limbs. Dawson asked, "I remember that one of these two people had a fever and sweating, and the other had cold limbs and was afraid of cold. Why is it all kidney deficiency? ”

Zhang Cheng: "The one with fever is kidney yin deficiency, and the one with chills is kidney yang deficiency - they don't all have symptoms of back pain, in fact, it is kidney pain inside." In fact, it would be good if there was a Citi ginseng supplement. But it's not cheap, and the goji berries aren't bad - at least I can provide them in large quantities for free. ”

Dawson: "The same condition requires different medications, and the opposite condition requires the same medication. I'm getting confused, I wanted to learn a little bit. ”

Zhang Cheng: "Don't, in a few years, I can't even recognize the properties of the drug, and I have to memorize the prescription, of course, now the prescription can be retrieved by computer, but what about traditional Chinese medicine, the more patients you see, the greater the certainty of taking the medicine - if you have been killed one after another as soon as you open the store, you have already been killed." ”

After dispensing the medicine and giving it to a few volunteer patients. In just a few tens of minutes, the condition has been significantly relieved - it is impossible to fully recover immediately, and the removal of the disease is not the extraction of the tooth.

Zhang Cheng saw this scene and said: "There is a way that illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread." Fortunately, the condition is not serious (the emergency illness has already been sent to the hospital), and I think that in a day or two, these six will be able to recover. ”

Zhang Cheng called the two who had chills and fever again, and one of them gave a packet of wolfberries and said, "You don't need to drink decoction medicine for this disease, this medicine is three times a day, three pills each time." Also, you should pay attention to your usual diet (in fact, you should pay more attention to sexual intercourse, but it doesn't make sense with foreigners). Eat more oysters and onions (kangaroo meat is also good if it's Australian). It can even be eaten raw. ”

After reading these two, Zhang Cheng told the other six people to pay attention to their diets, and after the treatment, Dr. Dawson asked: "Why do you talk about diet more than exercise?" ”

Zhang Cheng: "Everyone understands the truth of exercise – and none of them get sick because of excessive lack of exercise. But the diet is different. Now we all know that drinking more orange juice during the voyage can prevent scurvy, but we have long understood in Chinese medicine that an unbalanced diet can lead to illness - whole meat or vegetarian diet is harmful, and most fruits and vegetables also have cold and hot changes in pharmacological properties, which can be used as a kind of traditional Chinese medicine.

Changing the patient's diet to carry out treatment, we call it dietary therapy, which is to cure the disease by eating guΓ². One could even say. If you eat a reasonable diet, you won't get sick -- in Chinese medicine, it is said that illness comes from the mouth, and this is also the truth. ”

The instructor asked, "Is the diet of Western food reasonable now?" ”

Zhang Cheng: "Most of them are still reasonable, and there is a saying that saving zΓ i is reasonable. However, fast food fried foods do a bit more - fried and puffed foods do not do people any good (the only thing is to satisfy the stomach). ”

Mentor: "Fast food is recognized as junk food in the United States and is the main cause of obesity, and it does not have any other benefits other than being cheap, fast and convenient to bring enough calories to people. ”

Zhang Cheng nodded: "Fortunately, I don't eat fast food either." ”

Dr. Dawson thought: "The product of social industrialization, there are few people who eat fast food except for the poor or lazy who use food rolls." ”

Dawson also said, "Actually, if you treat them, you can charge some fees appropriately." ”

Zhang Cheng: "No, I've been satisfied in other ways. ”

Dawson pointed to his brain and gestured, "You mean spiritual satisfaction?" I will have this feeling too, and of course I will have to get a salary. ”

Dawson didn't know that Zhang Cheng was really not bad at the cost of these two medicines, and according to Zhang Cheng's point of view, plus the effect of promoting Chinese culture and traditional Chinese medicine, free treatment was also very good - back then, Shang Ying's transformation and Yan Gongzi's Qianjin City Bone were actually similar to today's free propaganda, if you don't see the real benefits, how can anyone believe you?

Zhang Cheng: "I'm different from you, in China, both Chinese medicine and Western medicine need to be licensed before they can see people, but fortunately, no one in the United States cares about this kind of thing." Being able to treat people here without constraint is already very satisfying. ”

Zhang Cheng vaguely remembered that the standardization of medical licenses was more than ten years ago, and later he heard that at that time, those barefoot doctors in the countryside, regardless of men, women, and children, went to medical schools, health schools and other places to go to school to take diplomas, and the oldest was nearly 70 years old and practiced medicine for more than 40 years.

At least now there is still a blank in the United States in the qualification of traditional Chinese medicine, there is only one acupuncture qualification exam, and it is said that more than half of the people who take this test are Chinese. Traditional Chinese medicine is a complete void - because fruit and vegetable seasonings are also part of traditional Chinese medicine, Americans do not believe much in the effects of traditional Chinese medicine. There are no knowledgeable people to regulate this part of the business.

In the first case of traditional Chinese medicine in New York, a Chinese medicine practitioner was accused of practicing medicine without a license, but when the US police investigated, this Chinese medicine doctor did not give people surgery, infusion, injection, blood test and other Western medicine diagnosis and treatment methods. The relationship between TCM and the patient is more like a kind of health consultation, and the prescription can be seen as a written building yì book building yì you eat some nutritious food and supplements.

There are only endangered animals and plants that are not protected by law and do not contain heavy metals or toxic ingredients, which cannot be controlled by US law.

Dawson: "Because most people, including me, still think that Chinese medicine is about the same thing as a witch doctor. More attention is paid to the protection of the interests of pharmaceutical companies and hospitals. ”

Zhang Cheng: "I've heard before that it's a crime to get prescription drugs in the United States without going through a doctor or hospital? That's what you're talking about protecting the profits of pharmaceutical companies and hospitals, right? ”

Dawson: "Illegally buying and selling prescription drugs under federal law is a felony. Procedures are important, procedures are legal, and they are the cornerstone of society as a whole. ”

Zhang Cheng also knows that this so-called felony, in the United States, the so-called felony can either let you go home or let you stay in prison for several years -- many so-called felonies in the United States only have a sentence of 0 to 36 months, yes, 0 to 36 months......

As a doctor, Dawson certainly thinks this is important, but it is actually very important, and some prescription drugs have very toxic side effects and are indeed very dangerous if they are not taken according to the doctor's instructions. But many people know that the price of drugs in the United States is almost one of the most expensive countries in the world, and the total sales of drugs in the United States account for one-third of the world's total annual drug sales, and the United States is certainly the largest market for pharmaceutical companies.

If only there was some means of protection. Wouldn't it be that all the cheap foreign drugs have made money, and then their pharmaceutical companies will be in a predicament like other factories that have been transferred overseas or simply shut down, forced to lower prices, wage wars, lose high profits, and eventually lose their R&D capabilities -- if this really happens, this will be a nightmare for American pharmaceutical companies, but fortunately, since the Roosevelt era, American pharmaceutical companies have been using legislation to protect their profits.

Zhang Cheng remembered something and asked, "Dr. Dawson, do you know acupuncture?" ”

Dr. Dawson: "Yes, now the United States has its own medical school for acupuncture. Of course, the qualifications of some acupuncture medical schools in China are also recognized, and their graduates can take the acupuncture license in the United States. ”

Zhang Cheng asked the next question: "Dr. Dawson." Have you ever had a foot massage and cupping? ”

Dawson: "Having had this experience, it relieved my fatigue, and of course the first time I saw someone cupping was still scary, and I thought it must have hurt. ”

Zhang Cheng also wondered, such as acupuncture, cupping, acupoint massage, etc., are just some auxiliary treatment methods, and Americans can't believe it -- maybe because of the quick effect. Zhang Cheng knew that some acupuncture points could be pricked or massaged a few times to relieve the pain immediately.

Compared with traditional Chinese medicine, it is already very fast to drink it for dozens of minutes, and traditional Chinese medicine also emphasizes conditioning as the main treatment supplemented by disease - it seems that this is not the same as the mind of the Americans, American society is a fast-paced life, and there is no time to wait for you to recuperate.

Zhang Cheng observed the condition of several patients again and said to Dr. Dawson, "I don't think there is any problem with these patients. I left their names in the cup of the medicine, drink it once before going to bed, and drink it once when I wake up tomorrow morning. Next time a volunteer continues to call me, you can call me if you have something. ”

Dr. Dawson shook hands with Zhang Cheng before parting: "As a doctor, I can understand what you are doing, and I think these volunteers will bring you good news as dandelion seeds after they recover today...... Let go ......"

The tutor and Zhang Cheng left the infirmary together, and Zhang Cheng drove the tutor back to his office, on the way Zhang Cheng said, "It was really a pleasant afternoon. ”

Mentor: "You will be happy when you are immersed in the work you love. Do you see still being saved with Chinese medicine? ”

Zhang Cheng stopped the car on the side of the road and thought for a long time, and then said to the Sierra Nevada as the sun set: "Cut it, change it to a stainless steel one." ”

Mentor: "Forget it, I don't really want to use it." ”

Duducious guy, Zhang Cheng finished talking about the tutor in his heart, and continued to drive on the road, the tutor's disease is not that there is no way to treat it, but it is estimated that the mentor's life will be greatly shortened after being cured - after all, the tutor is already old, and he always has to pay a price if he wants to toss like a young man, if this price has nothing to do with Zhang Cheng, it doesn't matter, but Zhang Cheng still wants to get a graduation certificate.

Sending back to the tutor, Zhang Cheng drove out of the school gate and stopped at a jewelry store at a gallop, and the lobby manager greeted him after entering the door: "Is there anything you need help with?" ”

Zhang Cheng: "For lovers, young people, girls, birthday gifts, the price doesn't matter." Saying that, Zhang Cheng took out the black card: "What I have is money." ”

The lobby manager's eyes lit up: "No problem, I will introduce you to the treasure of our store - the necklace of vows and love." ”

Zhang Cheng was taken to look over, a gold necklace on display separately in the glass cabinet, the necklace itself is not big, but the three heart-shaped colored diamonds below are dazzling under the flickering of the light, a blue diamond, a pink diamond, and a yellow diamond are arranged in equilateral triangles of the same size, and the purity, transparency and color concentration are top-notch, and the designer has spent a lot of thought.

Compared to the diamonds above, they are not big, each of them is about three or four carats. The price is also sky-high, with a difference of less than 10 million dollars by one cent.

Zhang Cheng's shopping concept is simple, as long as you like it and can afford it: "That's it, wrap it up for me." ”

This makes the lobby manager's prepared rhetoric useless, but the sales are real. The lobby manager picked up the necklace in front of Zhang Cheng's bread, along with the appraisal of the love and vow necklace and the designer's signature.

On Rebecca's birthday party at night, when Rebecca opened the box room with a gasp of cold air, tonight's owner Rebecca squeezed her chest after wearing the necklace of vows and love, and then said with a smile: "With it, even if the career line is not deep enough, it can attract attention." ”

After speaking, Rebecca came up and gave Zhang Cheng a French kiss, Zhang Cheng could feel Rebecca's body trembling slightly with his tongue, and after the kiss ended, Rebecca said to Zhang Cheng: "I love you!"

Zhang Cheng touched Rebecca's head: "I love you too!"

Rebecca: "I know, I can feel it when you look at me and when you are galloping through my body, but I'm still happy to hear you say it......"
