Chapter 42: Complete Cure for Cancer

As time went on, Zhou Chen finally encountered a cancer patient.

However, this patient was completely unaware that she had contracted cancer, and instead believed that Zhou Chen was talking nonsense.

She was also a middle-aged woman, but her expression bore a harsh and bitter look.

"You say I have esophageal cancer? What kind of a joke are you playing! How old are you even, coming out here to practice medicine? It's utterly ridiculous!"

Her face was filled with utter disdain, obviously feeling that Zhou Chen's youthful appearance made him completely untrustworthy.

To this, Zhou Chen could understand.

He explained patiently, "You must be very fond of eating piping hot food, such as spicy hot pots, regular hot pots, or very hot soups. All of these place a tremendous burden on your esophagus. Eventually, your esophageal walls undergo malignant evolution due to the long-term swallowing of scalding food, which results in esophageal tumors, commonly known as esophageal cancer."

Watching Zhou Chen speak with such fluent confidence, the woman still refused to believe him.

She sneered, "Do you think I don't know the usual tricks of you quacks? You just exaggerate a minor issue into a major problem so you can extort exorbitant fees from me."

Zhou Chen nodded, "Just assume my diagnosis was wrong, then. Next, please."

Zhou Chen would not waste his time and breath on unnecessary matters.

Although cancer was one of the favorite viral energies of the disease-devouring bugs, Zhou Chen would not lower himself to desperately beg others to accept treatment; he had not sunk that low.

"Humph, I knew you practitioners of traditional medicine were all a bunch of quacks! I should have just gone to see a Western doctor in the first place!" The woman cursed as she stormed off.

Yet, she would soon regret it.

Because just as she transferred to the Western medicine department for an examination, she was diagnosed with early-to-mid-stage esophageal cancer.

And shortly after that, a divine doctor of Yanhuang capable of curing cancer would shake the world!

The next patient was suffering from gastritis. Zhou Chen told him to open his mouth so he could release a disease-devouring bug into his body, guiding it straight to the inflamed area in the stomach.

Inflammation was typically caused by bacterial infections of a wound, which in turn triggered the inflammatory response.

And these bacteria were precisely one of the favorite foods of the disease-devouring bugs.

In mere seconds, the bacteria causing the inflammation were completely devoured.

Then, Zhou Chen used acupuncture to stimulate the patient's vital energy, rapidly restoring the damaged tissue.

"I will prescribe you a course of traditional herbal medicine. Your spleen and stomach are somewhat weak right now, and this herbal remedy will nourish and regulate them."

The patient asked with some concern, "Do I still need to come back after this?"

Zhou Chen replied, "Your inflammation has been completely eradicated. There's no need to come back."

The patient touched his stomach; the pain was indeed gone, and the treatment's effectiveness was truly instantaneous.

"Are you really sure I don't need to come back? In the past, when I went to the Western medicine department, I had to take medicine every single day, yet the condition kept relapsing over and over again."

Zhou Chen frowned, "What kind of medicine did they prescribe for you?"

This patient had just come over from the Western medicine department, suffering terribly from chronic gastritis, which was why he wanted to try a combination of traditional and Western medicine.

Thus, he was still carrying a large bag of medicine he had just bought from the Western medicine department and handed it to Zhou Chen.

After glancing at the ingredients listed on the packaging, Zhou Chen dumped the entire bag straight into the trash can.

"The medicine they prescribed for you does have anti-inflammatory effects, but it also destroys the mucosal lining of your stomach. That is the exact reason why your inflammation kept recurring. Otherwise, your body's natural immune system would have killed off the bacteria long ago."

Zhou Chen had long heard that some doctors lacked medical ethics and intentionally kept patients from recovering, but he hadn't expected to run into such a case so soon, especially inside the First Affiliated Hospital of Beijing.

Zhou Chen looked up and glanced at Zhang Mingxu.

Zhang Mingxu looked somewhat embarrassed and quickly tried to distance himself from the matter, "The traditional medicine department and the Western medicine department operate separately. As the honorary president, I only oversee the traditional medicine department."

Before long.

Zhou Chen finally met a cancer patient with a normal attitude.

This was a well-dressed young woman with a pure and innocent appearance, yet she had been diagnosed with cervical cancer.

Cervical cancer was basically caused by a chaotic personal lifestyle.

"Wow, what a handsome young little brother, and so skilled already that you're consulting patients."

Zhou Chen took her pulse and then led her into the adjoining acupuncture room.

"Do I need to take off my clothes for big brother?" The young woman teased verbally.

In reality, she was an internet influencer with hundreds of thousands of followers on short-video platforms. Her content mostly consisted of outdoor vlogs, and occasionally live gaming streams.

Coming to the hospital for a check-up today was also intended as video material.

However, for the sake of privacy, her camera was angled strictly below her chest, showcasing her outfit featuring jk uniform elements and over-the-knee white stockings.

Later, by adding some text captions in post-production, she could easily turn it into a short video.

She knew she had contracted cancer, but what other choice did she have? She could only face each day with a smile.

To say she wasn't despairing would be a lie, but what good would despair do? Better to maintain an optimistic mindset—who knows, maybe she could live a few more years.

Coming to see a traditional medicine doctor this time was also done with a stroke-of-luck mentality.

Afterwards, considering Huaxin Hospital was the First Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University, perhaps there was some legendary octogenarian or nonagenarian traditional medicine master who actually had a way to treat her!

Before the acupuncture began, Zhou Chen stated bluntly, "Your cervical cancer has only just entered the mid-stage phase, so the situation is not particularly severe. I will perform acupuncture for you today, you will come back in five days for a second session, and then another five days after that for a third, and it will be completely eradicated."

Hearing this, Li Nainai looked somewhat dazed, "Little brother, I'm sorry, but big brother—ah, I mean, sister wants to ask what you mean by 'eradicated' just now?"

Not only was Li Nainai somewhat perplexed, but Zhang Mingxu and Zhang Bingnan were also filled with doubt.

Zhou Chen said calmly, "Eradicated means to completely eliminate the cancer, making you a completely healthy person. As long as you don't contract any other diseases in the future, it will allow you to live a full life into your eighties or nineties and die of old age."

Upon hearing Zhou Chen's words, Zhang Mingxu and Zhang Bingnan found their breathing turning extraordinarily heavy.

As medical professionals, they understood the terrifying nature of cancer far better than anyone else.

They had witnessed countless cancer patients tortured beyond human recognition by the disease.

Even a top-tier traditional medicine practitioner like Zhang Mingxu had no way to completely cure cancer; he could only find ways to prolong a patient's life.

Yet what was it that Zhou Chen had just said?

Eradicated!
To completely eradicate cancer!

If anyone else had uttered such words, Zhang Mingxu would have scoffed with utter contempt, dismissing them as a mere clown spouting nonsense just to attract attention.

Yet the person saying this was Zhou Chen, a top-tier divine doctor of Yanhuang with a supremely mysterious lineage!

Since he claimed that cancer could be eradicated, he was definitely not speaking idly!

Hearing Zhou Chen's words, Li Nainai's pretty eyes widened in shock.

"Eradicated? Little brother, my heart isn't very strong either, please don't scare me like this."

Zhou Chen motioned for her to lie down, "Words are useless; lie down first, and I will perform the acupuncture for you."

Carrying a heart filled with immense excitement, Li Nainai lay down on the bed.

"Close your eyes, maintain a calm state of mind, and relax your muscles."

Zhou Chen once again borrowed Zhang Mingxu's acupuncture needles and executed the Taiji Creation Needles technique.

Zhang Mingxu watched from the side with absolute concentration.

No matter how many times he watched it, he always felt that the Taiji Creation Needles were shrouded in profound mystery, as if an invisible force flowed through them.

Zhang Bingnan's beautiful eyes also remained unblinking. Although she was a young woman, she had inherited the mantle of the Zhang family's traditional medicine lineage and was currently an intern physician in the traditional medicine department of Huaxin Hospital.
