Episode 826
“They say it’s Sogal.”
Jin Cheonhee nodded inwardly.
‘It sure looks like that, judging by your complexion and sweet bad breath.’
Even so, direct examination is a priority.
Jin Cheon-hee grabbed the old man’s wrist.
Sogal (消渴).
In Oriental medicine, it is a disease called diabetes.
Surprisingly, diabetes is a disease that was discovered a long time ago, regardless of whether it is in the East or the West.
but. This disease is also known as an incurable disease in the East and West. In addition, even in modern medicine, it is classified as a virtually incurable disease.
‘Diabetes is a disease that occurs because it is difficult for the body to absorb the sugar flowing through the blood.’
People need to eat to survive.
Among them, foods such as rice and bread contain carbohydrates.
What are carbohydrates?
A general term for all sugars. So, everything from the starch contained in wheat, potatoes, corn, and rice to the simple sugar cellulose goes into this.
in other words. When you eat rice, sugar is digested.
Rice cakes are also digested as sugar, and fried foods are also digested as sugar. Since there is no sugar added, there is no sugar. So, there are patients who say they are fine, but there is no such thing.
It’s all a party.
However, in diabetic patients, the digested sugar cannot be absorbed into the body and travels through the body along with the blood.
That is diabetes.
When this happens, the level of blood sugar (sugar in the blood) increases, and this is a dangerous disease because it can cause a variety of complications.
Let’s take an example.
Let’s imagine that the blood sugar level in the blood was usually 100, but one day it reached 300.
These 300 are all like sweet lumps of sugar called sugar.
It also adsorbs and accumulates in blood vessels here and there. It also interferes with the absorption of other nutrients and the transport of cellular tissue in the blood.
Sugar likes red blood cells, but it also likes bacteria.
Even diabetic patients’ saliva contains good bacteria, which can cause gum disease.
What about blood?
It becomes sticky due to sugar.
If you do that, problems won’t arise.
What if an artery suddenly becomes clogged? arteriosclerosis.
What if the blood vessels leading to the brain are suddenly blocked? stroke.
As the blood becomes sticky, the kidneys are prone to damage.
Proteinuria occurs when the capillaries that act as a kind of filter for the kidneys become blocked. When this happens, foam appears in the urine.
Our bodies are all connected, so if one kidney becomes diseased, other parts begin to fail one after another.
Too extreme?
Let’s go into detail.
Of course there are skin diseases.
For fungi such as athlete’s foot, the sweat of these diabetic patients is a very delicacy.
Even if they catch the same cold, diabetic patients are three times more likely to develop pneumonia.
Diabetic pneumonia.
In addition, like the cause of all diseases, the body deteriorates and the quality of life decreases, which is why its complications are said to be more dangerous than diabetes.
‘The good news is that in modern medicine, the harmful effects of diabetes can be controlled to some extent by controlling blood sugar levels through insulin and various medications.’
but.
With the level of medical science in the past, it was almost impossible to live long with diabetes.
Usually, people die after not living for a few years.
‘But fortunately, there is one cure on this martial star.’
It was like that.
The reason why American pharmaceutical companies make a lot of money from diabetes drugs, but not here.
This is why the head of the pharmaceutical company is seriously asking if this research can be stopped because the unit price is so unreasonable.
It’s martial arts.
Diabetes is a disease that ultimately becomes a problem because blood sugar levels rise.
However, strong people learn martial arts, and as a result, their metabolism is different from that of ordinary people.
because.
It is difficult to develop diabetes (unless it is a type of magic or craft with special characteristics), and even if it does occur, if you practice Yangsaengkong properly and practice external energy for only about one session a day, your blood sugar level will be automatically controlled.
in other words. If you practice martial arts, diabetes will be controlled and it will be no different from getting better.
but. This is not a perfect treatment.
Because it is not easy to practice martial arts, how many of the common people can go to a military academy to learn martial arts?
In addition, there are very few people who can feel the inner strength right away, even though they did not receive tax relief when they were young.
It can be said that external work is generally the maximum income one can obtain.
If it were easy to learn martial arts, the interior of Hwahwa would have become a paradise for powerful people.
Even so. Even just learning external exercises was good for diabetes.
‘This is better than insulin.’
There is no other reason to only talk about acquired type 2 diabetes.
Type 1 diabetics, who cannot secrete insulin in the first place due to a congenital problem, die without even knowing that they are diabetic, or those who have money buy it and eat it to save time.
Also, we do Yangsaeng-gong and simple external-gong training together.
Of course, this is also very lucky.
It is common for civilians to die at a young age without even knowing that they have type 1 diabetes.
In a small town like this, it’s not easy to even meet a legislator.
Because of this, Pharmacist wants to put an end to insulin research.
However, Jin Cheon-hee continued insulin research.
Martial arts training is definitely a panacea for diabetes. It is necessary to buy time before that achievement comes.
Additionally, there are people who cannot practice martial arts due to circumstances.
‘I’m working hard on improvements, but I’m still suffering because the unit price isn’t right.’
That’s the story.
In this world, diabetes is a disease that those who have diabetes can get, but on the other hand, it is also a disease that those who have it can easily treat.
A cruel world where those born with a natural predisposition die.
‘There are not many people who can eat enough food to the point where they develop diabetes. ‘This era.’
But there is just one exception.
old man.
Diabetes in the elderly.
Even if you don’t have particularly bad eating habits, you can develop diabetes just by getting older.
After your 30s, fasting blood sugar levels gradually rise and postprandial blood sugar levels also increase.
This happens very little by little, and at some point, you suddenly age, your pancreas function weakens, your activity level decreases, and insulin resistance increases…. When
genetic factors, diseases, and other things are added to this, you end up with diabetes.
That’s getting old.
As people say, it could be the lifespan determined by heaven.
But should we accept all that as we get older?
Jin Cheon-hee took his hand off her wrist and lifted the blanket.
Black spots are visible.
I checked the size, color, and texture.
‘Already… it’s already entered the severe stage.’
Black ulcer.
It is a diabetic foot disease.
Even though it is not necessarily a black round ulcer, it is a general term for various foot diseases caused by diabetes.
Among them, there are cases where small wounds turn into black ulcers, or even just blisters that appear accidentally can spread into ulcers like this.
If the size is small, surgery or treatment. And it can be reversed with medication, etc. If it gets worse, you may eventually have to amputate your feet or toes.
Fortunately, we are now at a stage where treatment is possible without cutting the foot.
especially. As long as the waste in the blood vessels is pushed out with bee capillaris, there will be no problems with blood circulation for the time being.
but.
‘Diabetes is ultimately a manageable disease.’
It was natural for lawmakers to say that they could not do it on their own.
Continuous management to lower blood sugar, that is. If you don’t practice martial arts in Gangho, it’s a disease that will continue.
It’s not like the congressman can teach you martial arts.
Chief Jeong asked.
“What do you think? Can you get better?”
Jin Cheonhee smiled.
“of course. “It can get better.”
Noya Jin, who came in together, said in surprise.
“Are you telling me the truth! You are indeed a member of the Baekrin Council of the World. Master Jang! You can buy it! sure! “How many blessings has Lord Jang bestowed on you…”
Jin Noya probably doesn’t know what Sogal is.
Or maybe they don’t know that it is martial arts that cures Sogal.
Both sides are possible.
There are many cases where the common people do not know common sense that all lawmakers know.
This is different from the days when there was almost no illiteracy and information could be obtained simply by searching on the Internet.
“Hehehehe.”
Director Jeong just laughed.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“I just want to ask you one thing.”
“Why don’t you ask?”
Blue light spreads in Jin Cheon-hee’s eyes.
“When did you stop practicing martial arts?”
“….”
* * *
“brother. Are you going to quit?”
“What can I do? “The patient does not have the will to live…”
Jin Cheon-hee and Sima-hyeon walk, leaving behind Zheng Jang.
Behind, an old manor sat quietly.
It was clear that it had been kept clean, but it seemed strangely lacking in vitality, which made me think that it resembled the current owner.
‘The reason to live is the reason to live.’
Because it’s just life. Life is beautiful, so I had to tell her to live it to realize how empty those words would feel.
A life without purpose.
With no children or grandchildren, he is the only one in this large manor.
It is an agricultural society where ten to twelve people live in one house.
An only child in such a place. and my only child’s grandchild.
‘When he dies, this house will be empty.’
There may be a way to leave this mansion and property to a relative and ask them to perform a ancestral rite, but what good would that do?
“In the end, the only answer to diabetes is to manage it yourself.”
“Do I have to practice martial arts consistently for management?”
“yes. But you swear you won’t do it.”
Jeonggajangju.
He said this.
-haha. Why would this old man live so carelessly just because he has something left? That’s it. I am grateful to the congressman who has walked this far, but I want to decide the final decision myself. Please leave now.
A gentle but firm refusal.
Those were words that reflected the life of a tired and aging veteran.
Jin Cheon-hee also occasionally saw people like that on Earth.
-teacher. I… I want to stop now. Anti-cancer too. Surgery too. I don’t want to make things difficult for my family. How many more years will I live if I do this? therefore. Well…
actually, the biggest thing is money.
Even if you have medical insurance, it is definitely a burden to keep paying for a disease that will never be cured.
Next, I feel sorry for my family.
I know how difficult it is for my family because of me.
Therefore, parents try to give up treatment for their children.
And choosing the last one is your own pain.
Surprisingly, the reason people give up their lives is often not because of the pain caused by treatment, but simply because of love.
For your spouse and for your children.
Humans are strong against pain, but weak like tofu in the face of love.
People die because of love.
It’s still the same now.
The old man did not die because of the pain of practicing martial arts again to treat diabetes.
They died because their loved ones died.
Love was a poison more certain than anything else.
The poison was so strong that no medicine could cure it, and not even Souiseon himself could cure it.
“Who will you listen to when you have already lost your entire family?…”
Sima Hyun’s purple eyes were staring at Jin Tianxi’s expression.
“why?”
“….”
Feeling Sima Hyeon’s gaze, Jin Tianxi asks.
“I came up with a great idea~”
“Idea?”
