Chapter 88

  Jerry finally understood why she said that the human body is the most perfect life form on earth, this is the ultimate choice of natural selection.

  "Even with the wisest wisdom and the most advanced tools, a king managing a country of over a thousand people will still encounter all sorts of problems. Yet, the human body, which has an uncountable number of cells, operates under this system, with each cell performing its duties tirelessly, and achieving further perfection and simplification. This is something that humans, no matter how much wisdom and power they exert, cannot accomplish. From this, you can see just how perfect, great, and precise the human body is - a masterpiece crafted by life over tens of billions of years."

  Jerry took another big gulp of water, he needed to calm down and sat there in contemplation. He muttered to himself: "Ah! Now modern medicine has only a history of several hundred years, new medicines have been invented for just a few years or decades; why should we think they are more advanced than the natural responses that humans have evolved over tens of billions of years? Isn't this too arrogant?"

  "What humans are most proud of is not having such a perfect body!" Fang Mo Nan said, "But there's something even greater than this."

  Ailisha asked in surprise: "What?" She was puzzled, "Isn't the thing that can't be replicated even with all human wisdom the greatest?"

  "Even the most perfect system will have defects and inadequacies, the greatest thing about human beings is that they can face up to their own deficiencies, and thus invented medicine!" Fang Mengnan said.

  Jerry suddenly realized that it made sense. It was precisely because of the emergence of medicine that human reproduction and survival were guaranteed, moving in a more civilized direction.

  "We are all doctors, what I said today is that in the future, if medicine can't help, please don't harm people's bodies." Fang Mengnan continued to ask, "What do you do when you have a headache?"

  Aisha said: "Of course go to the hospital to find a doctor."

  "So, what's the doctor going to do next to 'seriously diagnose' you? Basically, first of all, it's a comprehensive physical examination and blood tests. Check your stool and urine. See if there are any organic changes, whether the indicators are normal or not. If everything is normal, he'll say 'there's no big problem', just prescribe some painkillers and that's it. There are many types of this medicine, depending on how much you can afford, if you have money, buy a 'high-end' one, let you go home and take it 'on time'. After taking it, your headache is indeed gone." Elisa nodded. She continued: "So, you're very happy, thinking the problem has been solved; from then on, whenever you get a headache, you just take medicine 'treatment' on time. Only slowly do you find that originally one pill was effective, now two are needed... even three...... In fact, the medicine the doctor gives you basically can't cure your disease, it only relieves your symptoms; but you don't think much about it."

  After a while, you start to lose sleep, feel depressed, have a decrease in appetite and so on; then go see the doctor again. The doctor says that you've got a "new disease", of course. He will prescribe new "sleeping pills" for you. Now there are two kinds of medicine in your medicine box.

  After a while, you discover that your heart has problems. Hurry to see a doctor for treatment and 'discover' that you have 'cardiovascular disease'. This illness will become the biggest burden on your body and finances, step by step draining away your life savings. The result of constantly spending money on 'treatment' is only worsening symptoms; in the end, you finally suffer a 'stroke'. You spend the rest of your miserable life lying in bed, thinking: "Why am I so unlucky!"

  Aisha Zhang opened her big mouth and looked at Fang Mo Nan: "Isn't this too exaggerated?!"

  Fang Mo Nan stared at Jerry. "Exaggerated!"

  Jerry smiled wryly, "There have been cases like this, similar to what Nannan said." After working in the hospital for so many years, he was not a rookie doctor like Ailisha who had just started her career and seen all sorts of patients.

  Fang Mo Nan said lightly: "Actually, all of this was caused by a simple 'headache' in the first place. You didn't die from illness, but from stupidity. You died and still had to give away your life savings willingly to the enemy who killed you, isn't that stupid enough?"

  Aisha thought for a moment, "It seems like what you said is true."

  Fang Mo Nan poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip and continued: "For example, if you're diagnosed with high blood pressure, they immediately want you to 'take antihypertensive medication'. This is the same as using 'painkillers' to 'treat headaches', it only masks the symptoms but has no actual therapeutic effect, and instead harms your body, equivalent to a slow-motion suicidal 'treatment method' that leads to heart disease. Yet many patients think this is 'very reasonable' and are extremely grateful for the medical system inventing so many antihypertensive medications to 'save them'. Why don't people think about it: why did your body send out the signal of 'high blood pressure'? What's wrong? Did you deal with that problem?"

  In reality, patients with high blood pressure rarely die from 'high blood pressure', but rather from myocardial infarction, stroke and kidney disease, as well as overall physical decline. Doctors say this is a natural complication of high blood pressure. In fact, it's not; it's because the antihypertensive drugs they take severely damage their heart and kidneys, causing blood vessels to become brittle and thin, which eventually leads to rupture - that's what stroke is. However, doctors are very good at 'reversing cause and effect' to deceive patients; they say you have high blood pressure, so it's easy to cause blood vessel rupture, making it easier to get a stroke. Therefore, you must take my antihypertensive drugs to reduce blood vessel pressure and prevent rupture and stroke. If what he says is true, why do people still end up having strokes? At least it proves that your treatment is ineffective. However, the doctor will again argue: if you hadn't taken my antihypertensive drugs, you would have had a stroke long ago. So you should still thank me for prolonging the time before your stroke. Many patients are willing to spend money under this super deception and die without realizing it. In fact, he just needs to think about whether his body felt better before taking the medicine or if his physical condition has been deteriorating after taking the medicine.

  Fang Mo Nan shook his head and continued to ask: "Does Aisha still remember what the instructions for the antihypertensive medication said?"

  Airesa thought for a moment and said, "The 'Precautions' section on the instructions of antihypertensive drugs almost all indicate that they are contraindicated in patients with impaired renal function."

  Fang Mian Nan said: "This is actually very clearly telling you that this medicine is harmful to the kidneys. To 'treat illness' by harming internal organs? It's simply absurd. Traditional Chinese medicine places great importance on the proper functioning of the five zang organs and would never consider harming important internal organs as a means of treating disease."

  All Chinese medicine practitioners know that the kidneys are responsible for detoxification in the body. Therefore, if the medication taken damages the kidneys, it puts your body in a long-term toxic environment. As a result, the body will gradually lose vitality, and various organs will gradually develop degenerative diseases, eventually leading to all sorts of physical illnesses. Of course, the most direct and obvious one is kidney disease. Many patients with high blood pressure who have been taking medication for a long time often have to rely on dialysis to sustain their lives, and they are especially grateful for the advanced technology of modern medicine that has given them a chance to survive; yet they are foolish enough not to know that this illness is a gift from doctors.

  What is the 'therapeutic principle' of antihypertensive drugs? Those who understand some medical knowledge know that so-called antihypertensive drugs are actually vasodilators. Are they effective? Superficially effective. It's like a water pipe with a lot of impurities, clogged and causing high water pressure; Your solution is not to clean up the impurities, but to use high-tech means - 'expand the water pipe', superficially useful, seemingly unblocked. However, since the problem of impurity accumulation and source has not been fundamentally solved, after a period of time, the impurities will accumulate again and clog it, and you must 'expand the water pipe' again. After doing this several times, what will happen to this water pipe? It will definitely become thinner and more fragile. Therefore, one day, the water pipe will inevitably rupture somewhere, congratulations - you've had a stroke.

  "Antihypertensive drugs work on the same principle and means to combat blood vessels, so they inevitably lead to thinning and fragility of blood vessels. One day, a blood vessel in a certain place will inevitably rupture. Since the places with greater blood pressure in the human body are the heart and brain, where blood vessels are thinner and more densely packed, problems often occur in these two areas. This is what is called hypertensive complications - myocardial infarction and cerebral stroke."

  A moment of silence fell in the room as Jerry and Elisa bowed their heads in contemplation.

  Fang Mo Nan thought for a moment and then asked: "How does the hospital treat cancer?"

  Ailisha is now afraid to answer Fang Mo Nan's question, because that would make her look very foolish, so she looks at Jerry.

  Jerry said: "First, surgery was used to remove the affected area, but later on, no surgery was needed, just chemotherapy."

  Fang Mennan said: "Take chemotherapy, for example. It not only kills cancer cells but also kills normal cells. So chemotherapy is a 'burning of jade and stone together' treatment method (take a closer look at the 'toxic side effects of chemotherapy') and you can completely understand that chemotherapy still cannot cure tumors."

  Jerry nodded, Fang Mo Nan said: "Originally able to eat and sleep, with good vitality 'patient', after using the doctor's 'treatment method', stomach energy immediately drops, not thinking about tea and rice. Next, internal organs function decline and weakness, quickly leading to life decline. Where is this treating illness, it's completely killing people---legal killing!

  Let me summarize: doctors have come up with many strange names for cancer, and when it comes to treatment, they basically only use the three tricks of Zhang Fei's Three-Boarded Wooden Sword.

  Traditional surgical resection --- scalpel excision, using a surgical knife to remove cancerous tissues.

  Two: Chemical weapons - chemotherapy. Using chemical drugs to kill cancerous tissues.

  The third board axe is the later added radiotherapy, radiotherapy refers to radiation therapy, which uses X and Y rays to eliminate lesions. Radiation therapy as an important means of treating malignant tumors can produce good results for many cancers. However, radiotherapy will produce radiodermatitis, radiation esophagitis, and decreased appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea or constipation and other toxic side effects.

  Jerry and Elisa nodded, currently the basic operation method for treating cancer in the medical field.
