I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 276 - 242: Not a Trace of Self-Interest

"What!?"

"Can Lu Jiu really treat pediatric cerebral palsy!?"

"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

Pediatrics office.

Xie Xiao was a bit surprised by what Wu Yanhong said.

He indeed knew that Lu Jiu had quite the skills, but what was pediatric cerebral palsy?

This is a disease of congenital deficiency; it isn't something that can be easily treated!

The precondition for the acquired nourishing the innate is that the innate damage isn't severe.

Many young people nowadays suffer from excessive loss of Yang, or are too overworked on a daily basis, staying up too late, all of which can harm the congenital essence.

In such cases, Chinese medicine can use various methods for the acquired to nourish the congenital essence.

However, pediatric cerebral palsy is a disease present from birth, especially in the child he looked at.

It was basically determined to be pediatric cerebral palsy caused by congenital factors.

The fact that this could be treated is a bit scary!

"Really, Director Xie, after you handed that patient over to Dr. Lu, I was extremely curious about how Dr. Lu would treat it. Turns out he used something blackish, like a black pancake made of medicinal herbs, and then placed it on the child's Shenque Acupoint for moxibustion, doing it around six or seven times. The child went from having limp hands and feet when arriving, to now being able to crawl on the bed," said Wu Yanhong. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

He also found it somewhat unbelievable.

After all, having been influenced by what he had seen and heard, he naturally thought, like Xie Xiao, that such congenital inadequacies couldn't be cured fundamentally.

Yet the fact was right in front of him—the child was indeed recovering, which he couldn't help but believe.

"Apart from being able to crawl, were there any other changes?" Xie Xiao asked.

"Haven't noticed any for now," Wu Yanhong replied.

Xie Xiao paused for a moment, then set down his teacup. "Let's go, accompany me to the complex diseases department."

Wu Yanhong asked, "Director Xie, the child has already been taken home by his mother."

Xie Xiao shook his head, "Since you've already seen it, there's no point in me seeing it again. I just want to ask Dean Lu how the pediatric cerebral palsy was treated."

So this is how it's going to be.

Indeed, they should go.

He also really wanted to know the secret to treating pediatric cerebral palsy.

So, the two of them went to the office where Lu Jiu was.

It was lunch break, and Lu Jiu had just finished his morning consultations, and was tidying up case files in his office.

Knock, knock, knock!

"Dean!"

Lu Jiu heard someone knocking, immediately looked up, and saw Xie Xiao and Wu Yanhong walking into the office together.

"What's up?" Lu Jiu smiled and said.

Xie Xiao didn't beat around the bush, getting straight to the point, "I heard that the pediatric cerebral palsy patient I referred earlier was treated very well by you, Dean, so I came to seek advice."

Ah, I see.

Lu Jiu chuckled, "Just in time, Director Xie, even if you hadn't come to me, I would have come to you."

Oh?

Xie Xiao looked at Lu Jiu with surprise.

"Actually, I have been exploring this, and it does indeed work well, but I can't completely restore them to the level of normal children. The issue of congenital deficiency is indeed too severe. The crucial early years for infants weren't developed well, and no matter what means are used afterward, even if the medication is appropriate, it can't make up for the lost time."

"However, based on my findings over the last few days, using the method of Object Moxibustion can help these children regain mobility, allowing them to restore their body movements to as close to normal levels as possible. As for height, bone development, and intelligence issues, there's still no definite answer, but it's certain that, at most, they can only achieve basic survival abilities in adulthood, no more."

This was also the result of Lu Jiu's communication with the Five Viscera after treatment.

The deficiency of Hydronephrosis and innate essence can only be maintained by acquired means, and cannot be completely replenished.

So, even with Lu Jiu's treatment, the child with cerebral palsy can at most recover to a level of movement slightly weaker than a normal person, with height and intelligence deficits possibly accompanying them for life.

Of course, a deficit in intelligence doesn't mean they're truly stupid, just a bit slower in thinking compared to normal people; they can still understand the words of those around them.

After hearing what Lu Jiu said, Xie Xiao slapped his thigh, "Dean, this is enough; really, being able to restore their life ability to this extent is absolutely enough. As for height and intelligence deficits, it's something that can't be recovered in the first place. Dean, quickly tell me what this Object Moxibustion is about."

Lu Jiu smiled and replied, "It's actually a mixture of crafted herbs into powder, then mixed with honey and vinegar to form a cake, placed on the child's Shenque Acupoint for moxibustion."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xiao frowned, seemingly recalling something, and soon relaxed his brows, saying immediately, "I once heard the Dean mention that during a national Chinese medicine forum, a folk practitioner used Chinese medicine and moxibustion to treat diseases. So, you're saying moxibustion through Chinese medicine can transfer the medicinal properties into the patient's body?"

Lu Jiu was taken aback; he didn't expect that a Chinese medicine practitioner had already been ahead of him, also using this method to treat diseases. But thinking about it, although there are few folk practitioners, they each have their own traditions, and Object Moxibustion is not a new technique, so it's not surprising someone else knows it.

"Yes, and this method doesn't consume much of the patient's Qi and blood, which is why Object Moxibustion is so effective in treating pediatric cerebral palsy. I just said that even if you didn't come, I would have looked for you to teach you this Object Moxibustion method for treating pediatric cerebral palsy," Lu Jiu said.

Xie Xiao was astonished, "Teach me!?"

In ancient times, a treatment formula was a doctor's secret skill, and if you wanted to learn, you had to become an apprentice.

Moreover, this is a formula for treating pediatric cerebral palsy.

Even though the efficacy does not miraculously restore completely, the formula's value is immense if it can help a child with cerebral palsy gradually regain mobility.

One must know, in Huaxia, there are about 1.7 million children with cerebral palsy; behind these children are 1.7 million families.

Furthermore, tens of thousands of new cases of children with cerebral palsy are increasing annually.

If this formula can be widely spread, it would be a lifesaver for these children with cerebral palsy and their families.

"Of course, I also visited the welfare center these past days and found over a dozen abandoned children with cerebral palsy. Since our hospital has a free clinic policy, we might as well start with these little ones. But there's too many of them; I can't manage it all by myself, so I want to teach this formula to you. Then you can inform all the pediatricians about it. Once they understand the formula, they can diagnose those kids at the welfare center, figure out their situation, then mix and match herbs for a systematic rehabilitation treatment," Lu Jiu said.

Lu Jiu believed that with Xie Xiao's level of professionalism, once he saw the formula, he would surely understand the compounding ideas behind it. Once he knew the formula, the rest of the procedures would be simple.

Moreover, having him lead the pediatricians was evidently more suitable than Lu Jiu doing it himself.

Simultaneously, mastering this technique would enable him to help more children with cerebral palsy in the future.

This was one of the reasons why Lu Jiu was willing to come to the hospital.

Having more people would allow his strengths to be fully utilized!

Xie Xiao and Wu Yanhong felt a sense of respect upon hearing Lu Jiu's words.

They could sense that Lu Jiu had no personal agenda, which is why he could come up with such a novel approach.

At this moment, both were truly impressed by Lu Jiu!

"Dean, rest assured, I'll take on this task!"
