I Can Talk to the Internal Organs

Chapter 353 - 319: Not a Single Word Off

Inside the clinic room.

Lu Jiu placed both hands on Ding Yulong’s wrist.

He didn’t say a word, only communicating with the Five Viscera of Ding Yulong in his mind.

Since he had to maintain a high profile and couldn’t afford the slightest mistake, he naturally had to converse with the Five Viscera.

In fact, even just through Observation, Lu Jiu could roughly determine what was wrong with the patient’s body, but errors could occur.

Pulse diagnosis eliminates this problem.

In his mind, Lu Jiu was already communicating with Ding Yulong’s Five Viscera.

Upon confirming Lu Jiu’s identity, the Five Viscera candidly shared all the information they knew with him.

"He’s so reckless, even making the doctor remove half of the actual organ where Fei Jin resides, now Fei Jin’s function can’t recover, and I can’t even help!"

"It’s more than that, he has terrible eating habits, every meal he either adds water to his food or soup, chews a couple of times and then swallows it down. I managed it before, but later I’ve been weighed down by his bad habits, and now even normal food is hard to process."

"I won’t even mention it, with Spleen Earth’s transformation insufficient, I can’t store enough blood."

"Actually, I’ve been warning him for twenty years, initially he just lacked Qi and blood, making my small essence store inadequate, so I made his backache, but this guy completely ignored my hint, and even used Yisaipu, forcing me to extract Kidney Essence to recharge the Du Meridian’s Qi and blood!"

"..."

Listening to the Five Viscera complain, Lu Jiu was already used to it.

From the information given by the Five Viscera, combined with his pulse diagnosis and Observation inferences,

he basically determined Ding Yulong was suffering from Spleen deficiency, leading to insufficient Qi and blood, long-term phlegm-dampness stagnation blocking the Triple Jiao, causing impaired water pathways throughout the body, and nodules growing in the lungs.

At the same time, with the Triple Jiao blocked, there would be poor circulation in the Ren and Du Meridians, problems in the body’s primary Qi and blood channels, and naturally, insufficient Kidney Essence filling would result, leading to back pain for Ding Yulong.

Initially, restoring circulation in the Ren and Du Meridians, allowing the hydronephrosis to receive the fluid evacuated by Fei Jin, could relieve the back pain.

However, Ding Yulong’s hospital had misdiagnosed his back pain as ankylosing spondylitis.

And then administered Yisaipu, a biological agent.

This medication indeed eased symptoms in back pain patients, diminishing pain after two to three days of use.

Yet, after a few weeks, the back pain would recur, necessitating another dose.

Over time, as the medication damaged the liver and kidneys, even without ankylosing spondylitis, a patient would become dependent.

Because without the drug, the back pain would never heal.

The pulse diagnosis concluded.

Lu Jiu released his hands and began to question the patient.

"Have you had surgery on your lungs?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Yulong’s eyes momentarily froze.

It...

"Yes, I did!"

Indeed, he had undergone surgery, and the location was indeed on the lungs.

However, how did this traditional Chinese medicine doctor in front of him know?

When he came in, he hadn’t said a word about his condition, right?

Beside him, Shang Yehua’s eyes also changed.

Even though Wei Zhengxian had already told Shang Yehua that Lu Jiu’s medical skill was remarkable,

seeing it firsthand was far more intense than hearing about it.

"Poor Spleen and Stomach function, unformed stools, somewhat frequent urination, often night urination, awakens startled around three to five in the morning, and a twenty-year history of back pain, unable to bend over comfortably, recently your arms can’t lift properly either, correct?" Lu Jiu asked.

Ding Yulong was taken aback.

This wasn’t just a medical consultation.

The issues in his body were described word for word.

Even more detailed than his own perception.

Truly an invited expert!

"Dr. Lu, am I very serious?" Ding Yulong asked, a bit worried.

He now completely trusted Lu Jiu.

Lu Jiu said, "Not that serious, your physical condition can be adjusted gradually, it just depends on whether you can persevere."

Hearing this, Ding Yulong heaved a sigh of relief.

He only feared Lu Jiu would say there’s no way.

For this condition, he’d visited many hospitals, and hearing it was ankylosing spondylitis, doctors would say it could only be managed with medication, and there’s currently no better solution.

That’s why he went to Jinling’s Wei Medical Hall, specifically seeking traditional Chinese medicine consultation.

Just getting an appointment took him an entire day’s queue.

"I can, I definitely can," Ding Yulong hurriedly said.

Lu Jiu nodded, "Your illness initially arose from Spleen deficiency, indulging in poor eating and drinking habits, and not particularly good eating practices. You need to understand that chewing is a beneficial habit for aiding Spleen and Stomach processing. Eating more bites can alleviate the Spleen and Stomach workload."

"If you eat every meal like liquid food, it means saliva won’t participate in the Spleen and Stomach process, which isn’t effective."

Chewing promotes digestion, and saliva accompanies food into the stomach, participating in the entire circulation of the Five Viscera, enabling adequate hydronephrosis to receive enough fluid, fostering Kidney Essence.

If not chewing, food is hard to digest first, and secondly, chewing stimulates saliva secretion, thus allowing hydronephrosis to receive abundant fluid.

For some people, after a meal, hydronephrosis gains Kidney Essence replenishment.

Others swallow without chewing, appearing to intake nutrition, but hydronephrosis doesn’t really gain much Kidney Essence.

"Because of your inadequate eating habits leading to Spleen deficiency, the body experiences Qi and blood deficiency. Once Qi and blood are lacking, internal circulation slows, and that’s how the nodule formed in your lungs."

"Originally, the lung governs the body’s respiration, letting you inhale pure Qi from nature and expel turbid Qi from the body. Due to Qi and blood deficiency, the Triple Jiao blockage caused lung issues, preventing complete expulsion of turbid Qi, leaving impurities in the lungs."

"At this point, you essentially just need to clear out the impurities, as removing part of the lung didn’t restore its function. In fact, destroying the actual organ further impaired lung function. After surgery, haven’t you experienced persistent coughing?"

Listening to Lu Jiu, Ding Yulong nodded continuously.

Yes, after surgery for one or two years, he’d had an endless dry cough.

Doctors said it was a normal postoperative condition, not requiring treatment, and would naturally resolve in half a year to one or two years.

Eventually, it did stop.

"As for your back pain, it’s actually the simplest and easiest to treat symptom."

Ah?

Ding Yulong looked at Lu Jiu in surprise, "Dr. Lu, this is ankylosing spondylitis!"

Lu Jiu shook his head, "Misdiagnosis, you don’t have this condition, just need to clear the Du Meridian."

What?

Ding Yulong frowned, "I don’t have ankylosing spondylitis? But the doctor treated me for twenty years with that, using biological agents for two decades!"

Lu Jiu asked, "Does your back hurt now?"

Ding Yulong replied, "Yes, it does."

Lu Jiu nodded, "Alright, let me adjust it for you now."
