In 1747, there was a British ** ship drifting on the sea, and on this ship, unsurprisingly, there was a disease, people with this disease, they first had bleeding teeth, and then their bodies bleed, ulcerated, bones had problems, they could not stand up, and their skin fell off...... The final death was terrible......"

Li Mengyang's story quickly attracted Xie Tiansi's attention, because this matter is very interesting, the key is that the death of the disease, why is it so miserable?

Li Mengyang continued: "But at that time, there was a doctor on the ship, a doctor of Western medicine, a military doctor of the British Royal Navy, whose name was James. Lynde. This person is very interesting, as soon as he saw this disease, because there have been many such diseases before, basically many people will die, and there is no very good way, very few can survive, so this Dr. Linde, I want to try, can I cure this disease? ”

"Is that cured?" Xie Tiansi was anxious.

"Haha......" Li Mengyang smiled, what he wanted was this effect, "Before this, some people have thought about treating this disease, but there is no good way, but since someone has tried, then there are some recipes, such as drinking sea water, such as drinking dilute sulfuric acid, such as eating fruits such as oranges and lemons, such as eating raw mutton, anyway, there are many kinds of things, but no one knows which one is good, so what do you say?"

"This ......" Xie Tiansi didn't understand, "There are so many ways to [⊥, can there be a cure?" ”

"Of course there is, but there are also those that can't be cured, what do you say?"

"This ......" This time Xie Tiansi was completely out of line.

Actually, how simple is this question?

I only heard Li Mengyang say: "Dr. Linde thought of a solution. It's actually very simple. That is. So many people on the ship are sick, simply, these individuals are grouped, one person is in a group, and one person uses one prescription, for example, you drink salt water, I drink dilute sulfuric acid. He eats the fruit, and then finds someone who eats raw mutton...... This is the real yàn, and in this way, there is always a person who may be good, and the person who is good, how he treats, how he treats others, isn't this okay! ”

"......" may not sound like a difficult method, but it does. Xie Tiansi just can't turn this corner, because this is not in line with the medical skills he has learned!

"The end result?" Xie Tiansi was very curious.

"The one who drinks lemonade and eats oranges is alive." Li Mengyang quickly gave the answer.

"......" Xie Tiansi's mind seemed to suddenly open a window. But something is blocking it.

"It's actually quite simple, isn't it?" Li Mengyang said with a smile.

"Yes, it's very simple." Xie Tiansi nodded, but he was sweating profusely now.

"You must be thinking about someone right now, right?" Li Mengyang patted Xie Tiansi's shoulder.

"How do you know?" Xie Tiansi was directly dumbfounded.

"This person should be called Wang Qingren, right?" Li Mengyang smiled and spoke.

"......" Xie Tiansi knelt down at that time, "Your Majesty Xià Shengming!" His Majesty is the first Ming Jun for thousands of years! can understand a qiē, Wei Chen's mind can't hide it at all! ”

What's wrong with this Xie Tiansi? Could it be that Li Mengyang is really right?

Why is that?!

In fact, it's too simple, although Li Mengyang is not a medical student, but he knows a topic, and he is still a student of history, as for this Wang Qingren, hehe, this old man has only passed away for more than 30 years, and he left a book "Medical Forest Corrects Mistakes", this book is and this person, but it has been debated for a long time by the Manchu Xinglin class!

Then why did he jump from the Englishman Linde to Wang Qingren all of a sudden? The two of them seem to be separated by thousands of rivers and mountains, right?

That's right, it's true, but in fact, these two people are quite interesting, because these two people have made a huge change in two kinds of medicine, oh, it should be said that one person has changed one medicine, and the other person, although he also mentioned it, although he also said it, but it didn't work out, and in fact, that's the topic.

The battle between Chinese medicine and Western medicine!

The topic of Chinese medicine and Western medicine, which is known as a taboo topic in later generations, as long as we talk about this, then if you drink, maybe in the end it will be a wine bottle flying around, if it is a meeting, it will definitely be a good meeting, if it is a friend, it is likely to cut off the robe!

Yes, this topic is so powerful, it is so ruthless, it is prohibitive.

Everyone knows about this topic, but in fact, they are arguing about whether Chinese medicine is reliable or not!

So, is Chinese medicine reliable?

There is no need for Li Mengyang to draw conclusions about this question, because he now has the opportunity to do something to reverse the situation of the entire Chinese medicine!

I only heard him ask Xie Tiansi: "Tiansi, you should have read medical books, so let me ask you, how many prescriptions for a disease are there in our Chinese medical books?" ”

"This ......" Xie Tiansi couldn't answer for a while, because he had to think, he had to calculate, there are at least twenty or thirty prescriptions for a disease in our medical books, and if several books are added together, then this number ......

It's really not easy to calculate!

But Li Mengyang didn't seem to be able to wait, so he smiled and said: "I'll ask you again, you can just talk about a disease, you can talk about it, which recipe is really useful?" ”

"This ......" question, Xie Tiansi can't answer it!

So, this guy is a quack? Is it purely dependent on blindness?

It's really not, because Li Mengyang knows that it is impossible for Xie Tiansi to answer this question!

That's not right! A doctor, he knows many prescriptions, so how can he not know which one works? Isn't that?

Li Mengyang knows very well that it is not nonsense at all, and this is actually the problem of Chinese medicine!

Li Mengyang doesn't know medical skills, he really doesn't understand, but he knows history, he knows that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a famous doctor, she extracted artemisinin from Artemisia annua and cured the disease malaria, which saved tens of millions of lives, which is definitely a serious historical event.

And this doctor, as she said herself, was inspired by a Chinese medicine book, called "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription"!

"Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription", you can see the name of this book, put it on the back of your elbow, when you are sick, take it out and use it, it will be good, this cowhide blow is really not small. But this book really has a history, this is what Ge Hong did, who is Ge Hong? That was a Taoist celebrity in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, at least 1,500 years ago!

What about this...... Let's not talk about the future generations, let's just say that now, since this recipe appeared 1500 years ago, why does malaria still kill people? Why do we have to wait until the Hereafter? Could it be because of the technical difficulties in extracting artemisinin?

Obviously not, because how can it be so difficult to extract a so-called artemisinin? The recipe is clear and clear, just wring out the juice, although it is not so pure, but it can definitely save people.

So why is that? Why don't people know how to treat malaria now?

The reason is very simple, there are more than 40 prescriptions for this treatment of malaria in "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription"!

Just because of this?

And that's because of this!

What do those forty or so squares represent?

It means that, in fact, Ge Hong himself doesn't know which of these forty recipes is really good!

Otherwise, why would he write more than 40 squares?

And that's the key!

That's the problem with Chinese medicine!

Why was Wang Qingren argued and scolded? Isn't that book called "Medical Forest Correcting Mistakes"? Isn't that understandable?

Yes, after so many years of development of traditional Chinese medicine, no one has come out to sort out the previous prescriptions and sort out which ones are effective. is Li Shizhen, his "Compendium of Materia Medica" has more than 10,000 prescriptions, and in this famous medical work, there are many prescriptions that we know are nonsense at a glance.

For example, to treat fox odor, on the "Compendium of Materia Medica", use two boiled eggs, hide them under the armpits, and then run, run to a three-way intersection and throw away the eggs, reciprocating three times, you can cure fox odor!

It's just such nonsense, that is, it has been written into the medical book of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is still a famous book, but the current doctors still believe in this, this is one party, maybe it will be cured?

However, Li Mengyang's view of Chinese medicine is not blindly criticized, because after all, there are examples of artemisinin, and this is telling us that as long as we find a way to 'remove the dross and extract its essence', then it will be fine, then Chinese medicine can be carried forward!

What is this method?

In fact, it is a group comparison of real yàn, which is this very simple thing, that is, the doctor Linde used it.

Don't underestimate this simple method, just such a thing, Li Mengyang knows too well, it is nothing at all in the future life, everyone understands it, middle school students will. But!

Just such a small thing led the two major medicines to a watershed, and Western medicine began to develop greatly since then, and embarked on a relatively scientific development path.

It's such a small thing, in the development of traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years, no one has used it, and there is a Wang Qingren, who wants to change some things that look unreliable, but he is scolded for having no skin!

And the most important thing is that Li Mengyang is still very clear that at this time, in the middle of the 19th century, Western medicine has not made too much progress, that is to say, our Chinese medicine is now starting to catch up, and it is not too late at all!

Don't look at Dr. Linde who came up with such a method, but now, his method has not really become popular, and many people are still skeptical, and there is a particularly interesting example here.

"Tim, do you know Washington?"

"Washington?" Xie Tiansi was a little confused, why did this majesty talk so jumpy? "Could it be the founding president of the United States?"

"That's right, it's him!" Li Mengyang smiled slightly, and then he was about to start telling the story again. (To be continued......)

ps: What's that, the black car asks for a ticket, any ticket is fine, thank you! In addition, this paragraph is actually very important and sincere.
