Chapter 146 Diabetic Yin Deficiency and Internal Dryness Syndrome

"Justin also came to see Mr. Ding? Oh! That's right, you and Jason are sick friends, and Jason's diabetes is cured, so you also want to ask Mr. Ding to show you?" Jack looked at Justin said with a smile.

"That's right! I'm also here to find Mr. Ding to recuperate my body!" Justin was very calm.

Diabetes is not a disease that needs to be kept secret. Justin is very frank that he has diabetes.

Jack, who was thinking of leaving at first, is not in a hurry to leave now, and sits aside to watch Ding Changsheng treat the patient.

The three of Lin Chaosheng also got busy. The patients on Wu Street were all diagnosed and treated by Lin Chaosheng and the three of them.

However, after they finished writing the medical case, they had to show it to Ding Changsheng.

After Ding Changsheng read it, he thought there was no problem, so he signed it before continuing to the next step of treatment, either taking medicine or acupuncture.

"Mr. Ding, can you show me my illness?"

"No problem, I want to take your pulse!

The definition of diabetes in Chinese medicine is different from Western medicine!Western medicine only divides one into dominant and recessive, and then there are early, middle and late stages. In our Chinese medicine, there are many types.

I need to determine what type of diabetes you have before you can treat it symptomatically. "Ding Changsheng explained patiently.

"Okay! Look!" Justin handed Ding Changsheng his wrist readily.

It's not that Justin has never seen Chinese medicine before. Although it is effective, it is not very obvious.

Jason had shared with him about the treatment of diabetes with traditional Chinese medicine, but because of previous experiences, Justin didn't really believe in traditional Chinese medicine.

It wasn't until Jensen fully recovered, or was completely free from insulin dependence, and the complications disappeared completely, that Justin was moved.

So there is, today's action.

After Ding Changsheng took his pulse carefully, he said again: "Mr. Justin, let me see your tongue!"

Slippery and rapid pulse, red tongue with less fluid and yellow fur.

"Mr. Justin, do you often feel thirsty? Even though you drank a lot of water, you still feel unbearably thirsty, but it's easy to feel hungry. It's not long after eating, but you feel hungry again ?”

"Yes, yes! This is the case! I can't live without water now!" Justin said while taking the teacup from the assistant's hand and took a sip.

This was the third time Justin drank water after he came in.

If only, he didn't come in for more than 10 minutes in total.

It was the same last time in Jason's manor. When everyone else was chatting, Justin held the teacup and drank tea one after another.

"Is your urine very yellow, similar to the color of red copper, and then you have fewer stools, and it is more difficult to defecate?" Ding Changsheng then asked.

"Yes! That's it!" Justin nodded very simply.

Having been ill for such a long time, he has become accustomed to these physiological phenomena and will not feel awkward because of the doctor's questioning.

In Internet terminology, Justin has been completely screwed up, I am diabetic, I just have these symptoms, what should I do?

"Your diabetes, in Chinese medicine, is called: yin deficiency, dryness and heat.

I will prescribe a prescription for you here, you take it for three days first, and I will give you a follow-up visit after three days. Ding Changsheng wrote a prescription for Justin while talking.

"Mr. Ding, don't I need acupuncture?"

"No, Mr. Johnson did acupuncture before, not because of diabetes, and the root cause of his disease is not diabetes, but qi stagnation and blood stasis, diabetes caused by old injuries, which is different from yours."

"Old injuries, I know Jason was injured when he was young, but injuries can also cause diabetes?"

"The human body is a very mysterious composition. Even with the development of science today, neither Western medicine nor Chinese medicine can completely decipher the mysteries of the human body.

The injured place seems to be healed, but in fact, it is not completely healed. There is something in it that cannot be understood by Western medicine, nor can it be found by modern anatomy, called meridians.

Many old wounds seem to be healed, and the flesh and bones have grown back, but they will be sore when it rains on a cloudy day. In fact, the meridians inside have not recovered.

Jensen's situation is similar, the meridian in the injured area is broken and has not recovered, resulting in stagnation of qi and blood stasis in Chinese medicine.

That is to say, the movement of Qi and blood is blocked, just like the traffic in our city, once it is blocked, no one can say for sure what will happen.

The same is true for people. No one can say for sure what kind of disease will be caused by the blockage of Qi and blood.

The principle of our Chinese medicine treatment is to look at the cause of the disease. Jason is caused by the blockage of Qi and blood, so I will solve the problem of the blockage of Qi and blood for him.

Once this problem is solved, are other diseases still a problem? "

"What about me? What caused my diabetes?" Justin didn't quite understand what Ding Changsheng explained, but he felt like he didn't know the calendar.

"Your diabetes is caused by internal heat caused by lung, stomach and kidney yin deficiency.

The root cause of your disease lies in the lungs. Yin deficiency and heat in the lungs cause the decrease of body fluids and damage the stomach. The stomach also decreases and the dryness and heat further damage the kidneys. "After Ding Changsheng finished speaking, he saw Justin's confused face, and he knew that explaining these things to the Americans would be the same as playing the piano to a cow.

In fact, not to mention Americans, how many people can understand this set of Chinese medicine theories even if they are Chinese?

"Let me give you an example. In the theory of Chinese medicine, the human body has yin and yang, just like our day and night.

Why is summer so hot?For the days are long and the darkness is short.

The daytime represents yang, and the dark sky represents yin. Yin deficiency is dry and hot. It is not because the dark sky is too short and the day is too long, so it is hot.

And in winter, the days become shorter and the nights longer, so the sky becomes cold, which corresponds to Chinese medicine is yang deficiency and yin cold.

If the earth only has summer or winter, will there be problems?Our bodies are the same.

Therefore, our traditional Chinese medicine often says that yin deficiency produces fever, and yang deficiency produces cold. "

"I see, I just feel cold in my limbs. This is Yang deficiency and chills, and my back is hot and sweating. It is caused by Yin deficiency and fever, so I have both Yin and Yang deficiency." Before Justin could speak, Jack was beside him first. interjected.

Ding Changsheng looked at Jack speechlessly, it wasn't me who revealed your condition, it was you who revealed your condition.

"Jack, you have both yin and yang deficiency? Do you also have diabetes?" Justin hadn't recovered from his illness. Hearing Jack's words, he took it for granted that Jack also had diabetes.

"No, I didn't!" Jack quickly denied.

"Then why are you both yin and yang? Oh, I see, you are..."

"What is it, I was joking just now! I am in good health and have no disease at all!" Jack quickly defended.
