Chapter 1035 Complex Genetic Diseases
Seeing Su Tao staring at Tony and silently, Joanna frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
Su Tao sighed and asked, "When your grandfather got sick, did he have a similar situation and like to bite people?"
Joanna hesitated for a moment, nodded, and sighed, "This is the secret of our family."
Su Tao sighed and said in a deep voice: "Your family not only has a genetic history of personality schizophrenia, but also a genetic history of porphyria."
Joanna nodded and said, "You are right. After the Italian examination, Tony did have porphyria. He has been taking medication, but the doctor has no choice but to do anything about his mental state."
Porphyria is also called vampire disease. Isn’t this the real version of Count Decola?
Joanna didn't deliberately hide it from Su Tao, but this involved the family's secrets.
If people know that their family has vampire diseases, it will have an impact on the family's reputation.
Su Tao had a headache. As a doctor, he was most afraid of encountering two types of diseases. The first is a recognized terminal illness that cannot be cured, and the second is a genetic disease. Tony's disease belongs to the latter, and there are two genetic diseases, which are not only physiological but also psychological, and can be extremely difficult.
This also made Su Tao related the legend of vampires. When encountering someone like Tony who has a strange skin color and who is crazy like a messenger of hell, normal people will feel fear.
Su Tao patiently explained: "Porphyria, also known as blood porphyria, is a relatively rare disease of the blood system metabolism disorder. It occurs due to the disorder of porphyrin metabolism in the body, the production and excretion of porphyrins. Traditional Chinese medicine does not have a corresponding disease name, which can be linked to "abdominal pain" and "blood storage syndrome". The abdominal pain caused by porphyria is sometimes manifested as sudden appearance and sudden stop. There is a similar record in the "Ancient and Modern Medical Journal" of the Ming Dynasty: "There is often heat in the abdomen, and the sudden pain stops". In addition, the abdominal pain of porphyria is similar to the "blood storage syndrome" of traditional Chinese medicine. For example, the "Jingyue Quanshu" of the Ming Dynasty said: "If blood accumulates, there is abdominal pain, it is blood storage syndrome."
Although Joanna learned Chinese well, Su Tao spoke too professionally and mixed with too many classical Chinese words, so she couldn't help but look confused. She shook her head and sighed, "I don't understand."
Su Tao continued: "In short, Tony's disease can still be cured. The key is to find out the cause, and the cause lies in Tony's liver."
"What's wrong with his liver?" Joanna said in surprise.
"The liver of traditional Chinese medicine and the liver of Western medicine cannot be confused." Su Tao knew that Joanna misunderstood and thought that Tony's liver had some disease.
The incidence of porphyria is closely related to emotions. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver is the general's official and is active in nature and is responsible for venting and venting. If the emotions are depressed or irritable and angry, it can damage the liver. The liver is disordered and the discharge is not good, and the qi blocks the meridian. Due to the blockage of qi, abdominal qi is blocked, and it will cause pain, which leads to abdominal pain.
In addition, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, all mental illnesses are liver qi stagnation, and Tony suffers from personality schizophrenia, which is also caused by liver qi stagnation.
Su Tao carefully observed Tony's condition. His complexion was sallow, his moss was thin and greasy, his texture was dark red, his pulse was thin and stringy, and his waist and legs were sore and weak. Therefore, he was diagnosed with liver and kidney deficiency, stagnation of qi, and abnormal rise and fall.
Su Tao helped Tony to the bed behind the private room, then untied Tony's clothes and started to help Tony with a silver needle. After a while, Tony's body was filled with silver needles, looking like a hedgehog.
Su Tao used two sets of acupuncture methods. One is Xuyang acupuncture technique, which mainly focuses on Tony's foot Jueyin liver meridian, and the other is the thirteen acupuncture of the Ghost Gate, which targets the "Thirteen Ghost Points" and performs intermediate acupuncture.
Xuyang acupuncture technique is to treat Tony's porphyria, mainly to open up the liver meridian and excrete stagnant liver qi.
Thirteen Ghost Blood is the thirteen empirical effective acupoints for the treatment of mental illnesses in ancient times. It comes from "Qianjin Yaofang". It is suitable for all mental illnesses, such as hysteria, schizophrenia, madness, etc. It can also be used for symptoms such as mania caused by high fever. There are many versions of ghost acupoints, and now Sun Simiao's Thirteen Ghost acupoints are mostly used.
The ancients believed that ghosts and monsters were stored in the human body and refused to leave, which caused a series of abnormal manifestations to occur, which was actually related to the meridian acupoints of the human body. Using these thirteen experience acupoints can help relieve the symptoms of mental illness. Experience acupoints are based on the knowledge that predecessors constantly practiced and summarized.
Joanna is an amateur, but when she witnessed Su Tao’s appearance of ejaculation, she couldn’t help but sigh at the mystery and shock of acupuncture.
Judging from a foreigner who has never been exposed to acupuncture, wouldn’t it hurt to penetrate so many fine needles into the human body?
However, Joanna did not obstruct Su Tao's treatment and observed everything silently because she trusted Su Tao's medical skills.
Finally, Su Tao pulled out all the silver needles on Tony's body. Tony slowly opened his eyes and looked at Su Tao and Joanna with confusion. Immediately, he quickly recognized Su Tao and asked vigilantly: "Why am I here? Joanna, tell me why, this guy appears in front of me."
Joanna found that Tony's condition had changed a lot. Tony was always half awake before, but now his eyes were clear and his speech was extremely smooth, and he didn't look like he was ignorant and crazy.
Joanna was a little excited, her eyes turned red, and she choked and said, "You are sick, so I'll bring you to treat the disease."
"Let him treat the disease?" Tony patted his head. Although Su Tao gave him acupuncture, his schizoosis and porphyria were relieved a lot, but after hitting his head just now, he was inevitably left with sequelae. "Is he so kind?"
Tony's two sentences deliberately use Chinese.
Tony is still working on the Qishanling incident, and Su Tao and Anderson teamed up to create anti-toxic agents, which led to him not only being defeated but also being arrested and imprisoned.
Su Tao looked at Tony calmly and said lightly: "If Joanna hadn't asked me for help, I would never have cured you. In addition, your condition was only slightly relieved. If it was not consolidated, it would continue to recur."
Tony said in a deep voice: "Do you want me to thank you? Stop dreaming, we will always be enemies. I will definitely avenge you."
Seeing that Tony was awake, Joanna was so angry that she was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped her brother in the face.
Tony was stunned by Joanna's actions, "You actually hit me?"
Joanna frowned and said coldly: "I want to wake you up. You are so stubborn that you are completely hopeless. Have you forgotten what you did during this period?"
Tony had a split personality. He always thought that everything he had done before was done by another person. Now Su Tao has awakened him with another personality, so he forgot what he had done before.
Tony frowned and said, "What did I do?"
Joanna took out her cell phone, handed it to Tony, and said angrily: "You can take a look!"
Tony saw himself on the screen, like a mad dog, smashing things everywhere. Anyone who approached, regardless of his closeness, would be beaten and bitten mercilessly by him.
"This is definitely not me." Tony looked at Joanna in horror.
Joanna sighed, snatched her phone from Tony's hand, and picked out a photo of their mother Monica. Monica was bruised and swollen, bandaged with bandages and closed eyes, and there was no exquisite look of a Roman noble lady.
But Monica is the biological mother of the two. No matter how much the appearance has changed, due to blood ties, there will definitely be no disgust.
Joanna said in tears: "Do you know who the murderer is? You hurt her like this."
Tony hugged his head, shook his head vigorously, and said, "I can't do that, how could I hurt Monica."
Su Tao sighed, pressed Joanna's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Don't continue to stimulate him, otherwise, he will reject his current personality, and another hidden personality will appear again. Although this personality is stubborn and ungrateful, it must be more acceptable than that violent and crazy personality."
Joanna wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and begged: "Please heal him. No matter what the price, I can promise you."
Su Tao quickly said seriously: "I am a doctor, and it is my job to treat diseases and save people. It is not that I am unwilling to treat him, but that his condition requires a period of treatment and cannot be successful day and night. Of course, first of all, he needs to be willing to cooperate with the treatment. Judging from his current state, he obviously will not cooperate."
Joanna squatted down and whispered in Italian: "Tony, don't be nervous. Monica knows that you are sick and she will never blame you. As long as you can recover completely, Monica will definitely be very happy. For her, you obediently cooperate with Dr. Su for treatment, okay?"
Tony's mood slowly stabilized. He looked up at Joanna and found that his sister's eyes were clear and sincere. The ice in Tony's heart also melted instantly. He nodded weakly and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'm willing to receive rehabilitation treatment."
Joanna's eyes flashed with surprise, and she immediately said in Chinese: "He agreed."
"I will prescribe a prescription for you. If nothing unexpected happens, it will improve significantly in one month. If you continue to take it for half a year, the symptoms will be completely relieved. At that time, I will prescribe another prescription for Guben Peiyuan. As long as there is no major accident, your condition will never recur." Su Tao said patiently.
The reason why Su Tao did not rush to say that his next treatment plan was considered. Now Tony is a patient and a doctor, so he must resolve the knot and conflicts between the two. Otherwise, even if he uses the medicine accurately, Tony doubts that the treatment effect will definitely be reduced.
Su Tao sat on the chair and quickly wrote a prescription: 15 grams of raw Rehmannia, 20 grams of raw white peony, 15 grams of sweet berries, 15 grams of Ligustrum, 20 grams of Polygonum multiflorum, 15 grams of Dendrobium citrus, 10 grams of Glycyrrhiza, 20 grams of Guangyuli, 10 grams of Oil Angelica, 30 grams of Trichosanthes kirilowii, 8 grams of fried citrus aurantium, 15 grams of Xu Changqing, 8 grams of green tangerine peel each, and 8 grams of licorice...
This prescription is modified based on the treatment of serotherapy in the "Imperial Medicine Classic". Classic prescriptions generally do not need to be changed. However, Su Tao's medical skills are now perfect, and he has already changed the level of famous prescriptions. Adjusting or adding or deleting one or two herbs can have better results.
