I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 193 - 163: This Is Worth Doing

"The reason why people have uneven shoulders or legs of different lengths is entirely because of the regulation of the spine and femoral head."

"So why does the spine and femoral head adjust the body to have uneven shoulders? It's simple, it's due to long-term bad habits. For example, some people like to cross their legs while sitting. Over time, this posture increases pressure on one side of the body. At this point, the spine and femoral head adjust their shape to balance the pressure so you don't get too tired."

"Once these habits persist for too long, and the spine and femoral head have deviated to a certain extent, when you try to resume a normal sitting posture, your body feels uncomfortable. So, you continue maintaining a leg-crossed posture because that's the only way you don't feel as strained."

"So, since you say you have uneven shoulders, without a doubt, your spine should be curved as well. As for which way your spine curves, that depends on which side of your shoulders is higher or lower. If you're clear about this, you wouldn't ask me why it can't be cured."

"Because the cause of your uneven shoulders is your own habits. Bone setting can only help restore your spine's curvature to normal in the short term. However, the normal curvature is already abnormal for your habits over the years. To truly cure it, it's not about bone setting but about you changing your lifestyle habits, understand?"

Many people place their hopes in doctors to cure their illnesses but never change their lifestyle habits.

This is also because many people do not understand what kind of existence the human body truly is.

Whether it's physical deformity or pathological pains, between health and illness, our body is constantly seeking a balance point.

Just like many cervical spine patients, prolonged desk posture causes changes in the cervical curvature. At that time, the body compensates by letting the trapezius muscle assist the muscles in the cervical area to work. So, many people with neck problems have particularly tense trapezius muscles.

When the muscles around the cervical spine can no longer hold, and the cervical backbow becomes more serious, even compressing nerves, symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and vomiting will appear.

So, before illness, our body is actually constantly self-saving.

But many people choose to ignore!

They are even unaware of the body's distress signals.

Silence is the greatest contempt. When you always ignore your body and expect some miracle drug from outside to save you, you're beyond saving.

"Dr. Lu, are you saying that whether it can be cured depends on me?" Yu Guolai understood Lu Jiu's meaning.

"For all chronic diseases, true healing lies with the patient themselves, not the doctor. Even for known incurable diseases like diabetes and hypertension, some patients have healed themselves without relying on doctors. So, the doctor's skills aren't that great. The body's own healing ability is the key to curing diseases. But the premise is you need to know how to stimulate the body's self-healing ability," Lu Jiu said.

"Stimulate the body's self-healing ability? How do you do that?" Yu Guolai asked.

"Very simple, go with the timing of nature, don't go against natural laws, and your self-healing ability will naturally recover," Lu Jiu said.

"Uh... I still don't understand," Yu Guolai said.

"It's about going to bed early and rising early, exercising in the right season, resting in the right season, keeping a cheerful mood, and knowing how to relieve stress. Now, you should understand," Lu Jiu said.

"Doing all these is a bit difficult, Dr. Lu," Yu Guolai smiled bitterly.

Just going to bed early and rising early is something Yu Guolai finds difficult to do.

After all, he has to work, and after work, he has to drive as a side job to supplement household expenses.

This job peaks between 7 p.m. and 1 or 2 a.m., so it's impossible to go to bed early and rise early if he wants to earn that money.

Your health is important, but money is even more important!

"It's okay. If life forces you, then do your best. If you truly can't do it, it's okay. Anyway, I'm just saying that diseases don't come out of nowhere. Doctors are not gods. Even the best traditional Chinese medicine doctors are not gods. You need to understand these principles!" Lu Jiu said.

"Okay, I remember," Yu Guolai said.

Although he said so, in his heart, Yu Guolai still thought Lu Jiu was impressive.

The stroke that the hospital couldn't cure had results after just three days with him. Isn't he a miracle doctor?

In the past six months, he also saw many patients with strokes like his mother in the hospital, and they all lay in bed every day needing care.

Some families, unable to bear the medical expenses, simply discharged and went home waiting for death.

Didn't see any doctor treating them better, did they?

Phew~

The acupuncture session ended.

Lu Jiu let Yu Guolai watch on the side while he continued to see the next patient.

But just then, Lu Jiu saw a familiar face.

Zhang Zhengli.

The self-media blogger promoting folk traditional Chinese medicine.

What is he here for?

Seeing him standing outside the door without coming in, Lu Jiu didn't say anything more and continued calling patients.

Not long after, it was past 6 p.m.

After seeing the last patient, Lu Jiu was finally able to get off work.

After everyone left, Zhang Zhengli, who had been waiting outside the clinic, walked in with his wife.

"Dr. Lu, do you remember me?" Zhang Zhengli smiled and said.

"I remember, is there something you need?" Lu Jiu's attitude toward Zhang Zhengli wasn't particularly good but not bad either.

"I'm here to apologize," Zhang Zhengli said.

"Apologize?" Lu Jiu was puzzled by his meaning.

"In fact, I made a video of your ability to treat cancer without your permission and posted it online, then bought some exposure. Relying on your traffic, I gained quite a few followers. Some of the netizens who came to see you are here because of my advice. If anything caused you trouble, I'm here to apologize," Zhang Zhengli sincerely bowed.

Lu Jiu squinted at Zhang Zhengli.

Actually, when Shi Zixiong approached him, Lu Jiu already knew it was because of Zhang Zhengli.

At that time, he didn't feel particularly good about Zhang Zhengli, but seeing him come to apologize sincerely, at least it showed he wasn't a bad person in character.

Since it hadn't caused him any trouble, Lu Jiu didn't need to be too harsh on him.

"Since you need traffic, why focus on promoting folk traditional Chinese medicine?" Lu Jiu asked.

It's not that Lu Jiu looks down on traditional Chinese medicine, but in today's online environment, even official media doesn't heavily promote traditional Chinese medicine, let alone ordinary people.

When Jintian City announced the Lung Cleansing and Detoxifying Decoction formula to help people nationwide,

this life-saving news didn't get more attention than a celebrity changing clothes.

None of the official media online actively reposted this news. Those high-exposure private self-media, who usually pay attention to national affairs and news about foreign special medicine, ignored this news.

Running a small self-media to promote traditional Chinese medicine, to be honest, is a thankless task.

"Haha, to be honest, it was a spur of the moment. I was in poor health since childhood. When I was born, less than a month old, I caught a cold. My situation was critical at the time. My mother said my face was purple, breath only going in, not out, as if something was stuck in my throat and I could suffocate to death at any moment. At that time, the whole family cried anxiously."

"I was born during the winter solstice, and it was especially cold. My father carried me and ran around all day, kneeling all day. A big man in his twenties, kneeling in front of doctors pleading for them to save me. No one dared treat me at the town's hospital. He kneeled at the clinic in the countryside. When no one there dared treat me, he went to the neighboring village to ask if any elder knew medicine and knelt before each one."

"Perhaps I was destined to live, encountering an old barefoot doctor who agreed to treat me because he pitied my father. It was after that day my life was saved. Later, I grew up and had many illnesses, but every time I returned to my hometown and found this old traditional Chinese doctor, he would treat me immediately and without charge."

"Later I went to university, studied self-media, worked for a few years, and then lost my job three years ago. It was during these three years I witnessed the overwhelming online criticism against traditional Chinese medicine. My impulsive nature led me to choose this path."

"Honestly, I don't know how long I'll persist. Before coming to Jianghan, I even thought of giving up, which is why I considered taking shortcuts while promoting Dr. Lu. How should I put it? Traffic is indeed good. With it, more patients can find good doctors through me. As long as one patient is saved, one family is saved. It's for this reason I finally feel what I'm doing is meaningful."

"Maybe it won't make me rich or make my life better, but as long as I can use my meager strength to help some people, I feel this is a worthwhile endeavor."
