Inside the school clinic.
After taking Zhou Zixuan's father's pulse, Su Zhengnan looked up at Zhou Zixuan and asked, "Uncle, you haven't had chemotherapy or taken targeted drugs before, have you?"
It is important to know that, in addition to surgical resection, Western medicine generally uses radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or targeted drugs as adjuvant therapies to treat malignant tumors.
This also reflects the Western medical concept of treating the pain directly in the area.
Upon hearing Su Zhengnan's question, Zhou Zixuan quickly replied, "No, my dad hasn't started treatment yet. The doctor said it was too late for surgery, so my dad decided to give up and hasn't taken any medicine."
"Um....."
Su Zhengnan nodded and fell into deep thought.
First, we should diagnose and treat the disease from the perspective of the holistic concept of traditional Chinese medicine. The human body is an integrated whole, and no matter where the tumor cells come from, other functions of the entire body will be affected.
If a person's overall bodily functions can be improved, it can also have a significant effect on inhibiting the growth of tumors.
In fact, everyone has cancer cells and tumor cells in their body; it's just a matter of whether they become diseased or maintain a relative balance with the body.
If the balance is not disrupted, then cancer cells and tumor cells will not become a disease.
Therefore, in the view of traditional Chinese medicine, the main treatment for tumors or cancer is to strengthen the body and increase one's own vital energy, so as to restore a balance between the body's resistance to pathogens and the balance of Yin and Yang.
As long as righteous energy rises, evil energy will naturally be suppressed.
This treatment philosophy is completely different from that of Western medicine. In the eyes of traditional Chinese medicine, the treatment philosophy of modern medicine is completely abnormal.
This is why some cancer patients can live for four, five, or even ten years without chemotherapy, but die within two years once they start chemotherapy.
Thinking about this, Su Zhengnan suddenly felt that he had gained a completely new understanding of tumors and cancer treatment.
This is largely thanks to the knowledge and concepts of traditional Chinese medicine he has acquired during this period. Without a solid foundation in traditional Chinese medicine, even if Su Zhengnan wanted to treat him, he probably wouldn't know where to begin.
Compared to killing enemies, traditional Chinese medicine may not be as effective as Western medicine's radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
However, when it comes to treating the whole body, traditional Chinese medicine definitely has a strength that Western medicine can hardly match.
.............
a long time.
Su Zhengnan looked up at Zhou Zixuan and said, "Given the old man's current condition, even if we wanted to treat him, it would be impossible to achieve the desired effect. However, there are traditional Chinese medicine formulas that can inhibit the development of tumors and cancer cells. Why don't I give them to the old man?"
"Oh? Really?"
Zhou Zixuan's face lit up with joy, and she looked at him in disbelief, pressing him for an answer.
Su Zhengnan nodded and said, "In fact, the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine in inhibiting tumors and cancer cell development is far stronger than that of many Western medicines. Currently, more than 300 kinds of traditional Chinese medicines have been found to effectively inhibit cancer cell development. Even many Western anti-cancer drugs are extracted from our traditional Chinese medicines."
In fact, some special Chinese herbal medicines have excellent effects on inhibiting tumors and cancer cells!
Examples include: Panax notoginseng, Ligustrum lucidum, Epimedium, and saffron.
These drugs have extremely significant effects in fighting cancer.
The only problem is that there hasn't been a suitable formula to combine the ingredients, which is also the direction that modern Chinese medicine has been pursuing: to find better treatment combinations and determine effective treatment plans.
Hearing Su Zhengnan's words, Zhou Yannian couldn't help but laugh and say:
"Actually, our ancestors' medical skills are quite remarkable, and I also believe in our ancestors' traditional Chinese medicine skills. If you, Dr. Su, are certain that you can suppress this tumor in my brain, then let's treat it according to your wishes!"
"Yes, I trust Dr. Su's judgment."
Zhou Zixuan stood aside and looked at Su Zhengnan, her eyes sparkling with hope.
Su Zhengnan thought for a moment and said, "If you are willing to agree to my treatment plan, then of course there is no problem. Regarding the old man's tumor, I think we can first use herbal decoctions to regulate his body, and then use traditional Chinese medicine with significant anti-cancer effects in combination with acupuncture for treatment."
"Okay!"
Zhou Zixuan nodded in agreement, then looked at her father and asked, "Dad, what do you think?"
Zhou Yannian looked at his daughter deeply and said with a smile, "Daughter, you trust Dr. Su, so naturally I trust Dr. Su too. I believe my daughter won't misjudge people."
It's less that Zhou Yannian trusted Su Zhengnan and more that he trusted his daughter.
As for Zhou Zixuan's mother, she just stood by and watched without saying a word, clearly indicating that she had no decision-making power.
Su Zhengnan smiled and nodded, then returned to his desk, writing out a prescription as he spoke:
"I'll prescribe some herbal medicine for the old man to regulate his body first. He should remember to take it on time after he gets home. He should come back for a follow-up visit once his body has recovered enough, and then we'll decide on the next treatment plan."
As they were talking, Su Zhengnan had already written out the prescription.
As for whether the patient wants to get the medicine at the school clinic or get it elsewhere after the prescription is written, that's up to Zhou Zixuan to decide.
After handing the prescription to Zhou Zixuan, Su Zhengnan added, "Get the medicine according to the prescription. Remember not to get the wrong medicine. This decoction should be taken three times a day, half an hour after meals."
"Is this...is this okay?"
Zhou Zixuan looked at Su Zhengnan with some uncertainty and asked, "Don't you need any other treatment? Like acupuncture or something?"
Su Zhengnan smiled slightly and said, "The old man's current physical condition is rather weak. Even if I treat him, his body cannot withstand it. Therefore, the best premise for treatment is to first regulate his body and restore some of his vitality."
"Once the old man's health has improved, the subsequent treatment will need to be adjusted according to his physical condition. Otherwise, if the treatment is only for the sake of treating the tumor and causes other problems for the old man, then the tumor treatment will definitely fail."
"......."
After listening to Su Zhengnan's words, Zhou Zixuan stood there stunned for a long time before she could process these ideas.
"So Dr. Su, you mean that only when the patient's body is in an optimal state can it withstand other problems arising during tumor treatment?"
Sun Huaiwei appeared in Su Zhengnan's clinic at some point, looking at him with a serious expression and asking a question.
Su Zhengnan nodded and smiled, "Dr. Sun, you're not wrong. After all, tumor growth is connected to the nerves and blood vessels of the body. If you want to inhibit its growth without surgery, you naturally need to provide more energy to the benign cells in your body. Otherwise, how can you suppress evil with good?"
As the saying goes: Uphold righteousness and eliminate evil!
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, "supporting the body's vital energy" means maintaining the body's health and thus enhancing its own resistance to disease.
When the body's own resistance to disease is enhanced, the pathogenic factors will naturally be suppressed, which is entirely in line with the way of nature.
Support the body's vital energy and eliminate pathogens; combine attacking and tonifying methods.
Traditional Chinese medicine's understanding of the human body is exactly the same as that of Taoism, advocating that healing the body should be the primary focus, with diagnosis and treatment as secondary, since the human body is the foundation of oneself.
Zhou Zixuan turned to look at Sun Huaiwei and then said, "Okay, I understand. I'll do whatever you say, Dr. Su. I'll do whatever you say."
Although Zhou Zixuan still had some doubts, she was somewhat skeptical about traditional Chinese medicine's treatment of tumors.
But having a treatment method is always better than having no treatment method at all.
The Western medical team has given her father a final notice: surgical removal is not an option.
Now she can only trust Su Zhengnan's treatment plan, which is her last straw.
Grandpa Zhou Yannian seemed quite open-minded, saying with a smile, "If Dr. Su says it can be cured, then it can be cured. Zixuan, don't look so worried. I'm already this old, it's normal if that day comes. No one can escape death."
At this point, Zhou Yannian paused for a moment, then looked at Zhou Zixuan with a serious expression and said:
"Actually, your mother and I don't have any regrets. The only regret is that we haven't seen you get married yet. When will you finally get married?"
"Dad~!"
Upon hearing her father bring up the topic, Zhou Zixuan's expression changed, and she stomped her foot and ran out.
Zhou Yannian smiled and waved to Su Zhengnan, saying, "I'm sorry, Dr. Su, you must be embarrassed. I've spoiled this child."
"Haha, Uncle, you're joking. Actually, Nurse Zhou is a very nice person."
Su Zhengnan smiled and said something, then lowered his head and pretended to be very busy. He didn't want the other party to bring up the topic of himself.
Seeing that Su Zhengnan didn't want to continue the conversation, Zhou Yannian didn't continue the conversation either. He turned around and took his wife out to look for their daughter.
After they all left.
Sun Huaiwei suddenly smiled and said to Su Zhengnan, "I think this Sister Zhou has taken a liking to you. Look, she's even willing to entrust her own father to your treatment. Dr. Su, don't you really have any feelings for our Sister Zhou at all?"
Su Zhengnan glanced at her speechlessly and said, "Dr. Sun, when did you become so gossipy? Go and focus on your medical treatment, don't become as fond of gossip as Sister Zhou!"
"If you don't want to talk, that's fine. See you later!"
Sun Huaiwei smiled and said something, then waved her hand and returned to her Western medicine clinic.
