"If I am not mistaken in my judgment, it can have a certain cleaning effect on the human body." Mr. Zhang said slowly. At this moment, his expression was extremely solemn. "In other words, it can lower blood pressure, fundamentally!"
Seeing that Xu Guangling was still confused, knowing that this new disciple probably didn't understand the key yet, Mr. Zhang carefully explained to him:
"Sweet potatoes have a certain impact on blood vessels and can lower blood lipids. Therefore, they can lower blood pressure."
"Yam mainly improves the absorption capacity of the heart and kidneys. In addition, it also has an effect on cholesterol, so it can also lower blood pressure."
"Ginseng has a considerable regulating effect on the human nervous system, and it also has a certain influence on blood vessels. Generally speaking, because of its regulating effect on the heart and brain system, it can also lower blood pressure."
"It's not surprising that any one of these three things has the effect of lowering blood pressure. Most of the blood pressure-lowering drugs currently on the market use extracts of these three things." Zhang Lao said lightly, "
However, their principle of lowering blood pressure is roughly what I said above. They are effective for conventional high blood pressure that can be called a disease, but they are not effective for the kind of high blood pressure that I told you a few days ago that is not a disease."
"This is also the only thing I have encountered so far that is effective against the 'natural accumulation type' of hypertension."
Xu Guangling was stunned.
After Zhang Lao's explanation, he finally understood why the two old men had such solemn expressions at this time. - If he understood correctly, this vermicelli, in a sense, can be called
Something “against the heavens”?
Seeing Xu Guangling's expression at this time, Mr. Zhang knew that he had understood the truth, so he smiled again and said: "The knowledge about high blood pressure that I told you before is not suitable for ordinary doctors or ordinary medical practitioners.
It may be a bit new, but for researchers in related fields, it is equivalent to common sense. Therefore, this aspect is also the Mount Everest in the medical field. Conquering it is equivalent to conquering the highest level of human health.
."
The Mount Everest of medicine? Not cancer, not AIDS, or anything else, but high blood pressure?
Xu Guangling was a little confused, but he just listened quietly.
In this aspect, he definitely has no say, so just listen.
"In view of this, Japan made this field the focus of research in the 21st century as early as thirty years ago, or the center of gravity, and invested considerable human, material and financial resources in it. Judging from the current progress
, their research results can also be said to be the first in the world.”
"In this field, the modern Western medical system is of little use, so even if it mobilizes external resources, the United States can only lag behind Japan in research in this area, and most of the research is done in cooperation with Japan. As for other
The independent research part is completely lackluster.”
"Japan's research methods in this area are actually based on traditional Chinese medicine as the body and Western medicine as the application, so whether it is sweet potatoes, yams, or ginseng, they have done considerable research on them, especially the latter two.
The depth and breadth are quite considerable.”
The "quite" in Mr. Zhang's words must be extremely quite.
Hearing this, Xu Guangling couldn't help but ask: "What about the situation in China?"
"The situation in China is actually quite embarrassing." Zhang Lao still said calmly, "I would like to ask, have you ever heard of the 'Destroy the Four Olds'?"
Xu Guangling didn't know what the four olds were, but he had heard of the term "breaking the four olds". At this time, when he heard Mr. Zhang talking about this, he couldn't help but said: "Is it possible that traditional Chinese medicine was regarded as a disease at that time?"
Are the four olds broken?"
Zhang Lao laughed and then shook his head, "The situation is exactly the opposite of what you imagined. Where there is destruction, there must be establishment. This is something that leaders of any organization, big or small, know, let alone the leader of a huge country like ours.
Therefore, the actual situation was that at that time, traditional Chinese medicine was supported as a major project 'related to the national economy and people's livelihood'."
"What happened next?" Xu Guangling asked.
Could it be that he was abolished again?
"The subsequent situation was very complicated and cannot be explained in a few words." Mr. Zhang's expression was also a bit complicated at this time. "The attitude above was consistent and there was no repetition. But later, in the development process of these decades
Chinese medicine has a relationship with Western medicine, but also
The relationship between traditional Chinese medicine itself and the guidance of public opinion in various aspects. In short, the development of traditional Chinese medicine is not as smooth as originally imagined. It can even be said to be a bumpy road. Until now, in a certain sense, it can be said that
It exists in name only.”
"Ah?" Hearing this, Xu Guangling couldn't help but sigh.
"Currently, the country with the most in-depth research on traditional Chinese medicine is Japan, the country with the widest acceptance of the traditional Chinese medicine system is South Korea, and the country with the broadest market for the traditional Chinese medicine industry and which is in the ascendant is the United States," Zhang said.
Xu Guangling groaned again.
Not to make a fuss, but...
How should I put it, this was really beyond his expectation.
He can understand that Japan has researched on traditional Chinese medicine, and he can basically accept that Japan has the most in-depth research. After all, the grievances and grievances between this country and China are really "too numerous to describe", and the blood between them is thicker than
water.
This blood is, firstly, the fetters of culture and thinking, and secondly, hatred, the kind of hatred where a white knife goes in and a red knife comes out.
Exactly, the fate is deep and the evil is also deep.
Xu Guangling has never been to Japan, but Dasha and Jiagongzi have both been there, and they have two comments about Japan. One is, "Girls have short legs", and the other is, "In many places in this country,
More Chinese than China.”
Excluding the first point, we only look at the second point here.
Therefore, Xu Guangling was not too surprised by the first half of what Mr. Zhang just said.
But in the second half, the U.S. has the most extensive market for the traditional Chinese medicine industry and is in the ascendant? This is something he never expected.
"Don't be surprised. There are many examples of people with flowers blooming inside the walls and fragrance outside the walls. Isn't KFC one of them?" Regarding Xu Guangling's surprise, Mr. Zhang said calmly, "People all have the mentality of 'fascination with foreigners'. This has nothing to do with strength.
Of course, there will be certain strengths and weaknesses
The influence, but the most fundamental point is that people have the mentality of chasing novelty and novelty. They don't value 'their own' things that are commonplace too much. On the contrary, they don't value the things that they have never seen before coming in from the outside world.
I will take a considerable interest in it.”
"The same is true for traditional Chinese medicine in the United States."
"To be specific, acupuncture was the first to be accepted. In recent years, Chinese medicine, or Chinese patent medicine, is also being launched on a large scale, and the two are gradually forming a convergence trend. Once the convergence is successful,
, the rise of traditional Chinese medicine in the United States is inevitable."
"So, just like when Buddhism spread to the East, if people in the 23rd, 24th, or 25th or 6th centuries look back at the development of the global pharmaceutical industry in the 21st or 2nd centuries, then, in the history of medicine, very
A new term may be born, 'Traditional Chinese Medicine Spreads to the West'."
