Chapter 157: Chapter 130: Sickness Is Contagious

Got it!

But just a little bit!

Lu Jiu said so much, but Cao Aiguo only remembered one thing.

“Dr. Lu, does this mean that hitting the wall can really prevent heart disease?”

Lu Jiu replied, “Yes, but you have to do it the right way. If the movements aren’t precise, not only will it be ineffective, but if you hit too hard, you might hurt yourself. Let me give you, and everyone behind you, a demonstration right here.”

This year, many people have been having heart discomfort.

Since Uncle Cao has this problem, Lu Jiu decided to teach everyone together.

As for how many people are willing to practice with him, that’s beyond Lu Jiu’s control.

After speaking, Lu Jiu stood up and leaned against a wall in the clinic.

Cao Aiguo, along with the other patients in line, turned to look at Lu Jiu, with a few of them even taking out their phones.

“First of all, pay attention to your footing. You can either have your left foot behind and your right foot in front, or vice versa, just make sure you don’t lose balance when leaning back. Then arch your back slightly, forming a curve. This movement can also open up the ’Gaohuang’ acupoint on our back. In Chinese medicine, there’s a saying: when sickness enters the ’Gaohuang’, it’s incurable; open the ’Gaohuang’, and you won’t die. This acupoint is a gathering place for illness in our body and an exit for disease energy, so be sure to remember this action.”

“Once you’ve got this part, pay attention to the technique of leaning back. The distance between your back and the wall shouldn’t be too far. While hitting, there are three small details to master. First, keep the force light, focusing on the left back. Second, while hitting, your hands should naturally swing forward, keeping the rhythm. Third, during the moment of impact, make a ’he’ sound. Initially, it may feel unnatural, so you need to actively make the sound. As you get more familiar with the action, your body will naturally produce the sound, which is the most natural state.”

“Once you’re used to the movement, you can do it dozens of times a day, either in the morning or evening, though morning is best. This action doesn’t require a specific setting. You can do it at home or outside, as long as you can find a hard surface to lean against, like a wall or a tree. As you get better, you can gradually increase the force, like this, he! he!! he!!! he…”

Lu Jiu stood with his feet one in front of the other, rhythmically arching his back and leaning against the wall.

At first, the impact was very light, but then he started increasing the force, allowing many people not only to hear the ’he’ sound but also the sound of hitting the wall.

The crowd watched this strange movement, murmuring to themselves.

Can hitting a wall really prevent heart disease?

Although many still had doubts, this was coming from Lu Jiu, who had cured so many patients. How could he deceive them over something so trivial?

Cao Aiguo saw this scene and suddenly remembered an old friend who enjoyed exercising, who liked hitting things in the park.

But he wasn’t like Lu Jiu; he hit everything with his front and back and hit the pillars of gym equipment.

Many peers privately said he was crazy; who likes hitting pillars in the park for no reason?

But that guy was really healthy. Over three years, he hadn’t taken any medicine or vaccines and never got sick.

Could it really be because he hit those pillars for so long?

“Uncle, did you understand?” Lu Jiu stopped after hitting a few times.

“It’s not complicated, it’s just that I have a friend who often hits pillars in the park. But his moves are different from yours; he jumps up and hits facing the pillar, and he also makes a sound, just like you. He’s really fit. Dr. Lu, do you think it’s because he’s been hitting like this for so long that he’s healthy? Oh, by the way, he’s five or six years older than me, has white but thick hair, and at over seventy, hasn’t lost a single tooth,” Cao Aiguo said.

Lu Jiu laughed, “You’re overestimating this action. That uncle probably has a long-term exercise habit, and his mindset and emotions aren’t too burdened. His lifestyle is relatively healthy. In any case, good health and longevity are not determined by a single action. As long as you remember to practice this action and maintain a good mood, you definitely won’t get heart disease. As for prolonging life and maintaining health, that depends on the person.”

“As for fate, well, it’s destined by heaven. Some people, no matter how healthy, might suddenly lose their lives to a disease, while others, who are generally unhealthy, lingering between aches and discomforts, might still stumble through to their eighties or nineties.”

“I can only use what I’ve learned to help you and others alleviate the inconveniences caused by disease. Beyond that, I’m powerless. But if you often hang out with such a person, maybe you’ll benefit too!”

People have an aura that can influence others.

For example, if someone is always complaining, nothing they say will sound pleasant, and spending time with them might change your mindset and start influencing you to become like them in certain aspects.

But if you are with a lively and cheerful person who doesn’t take things to heart, over time, you might also become optimistic.

This is summarized in the saying: ’One who is near ink is stained black; one who is near vermilion is stained red.’

In Chinese medicine, there’s even talk of disease energy. Spending too much time with someone with disease energy, eventually, you’ll be affected.

If your resistance is weak, you’ll fall prey!

And disease energy isn’t just a virus; it encompasses the six excessive forces in nature.

This is why ancient Chinese medicine emphasized learning health preservation. If your health is poor and you see many patients, over time, you’ll become overwhelmed.

Especially with acupuncture, since it’s almost direct contact with the patient’s energy. It’s impossible not to be influenced.

But these things aren’t recognized by Western medicine. They believe only viruses and bacteria are contagious. Once the environment is free of viruses and bacteria, there’s no issue. Hence, hospital buildings are getting bigger, and more patients are admitted, all requiring observation even if nothing’s wrong.

Even healthy people can develop problems by staying there too long, let alone the sick.

So, naturally, many people develop an aversion to hospitals after visiting.

No matter how good the healthcare staff’s attitude, you go once and don’t feel like returning.

This is your body’s way of telling you it doesn’t like hospitals.

It’s an instinctive response!

So, in some sense, the body is much more accurate than any instrument!

“Really? Alright, Dr. Lu, I’ll start exercising with that old guy tomorrow, hahaha,” Cao Aiguo laughed.

“Make sure to mind your strength, don’t overdo it at the start.” Lu Jiu advised.

“Got it, got it. I know what to do, don’t worry,” Cao Aiguo laughed.

“Alright, let me get your medicine.”

Saying that, Lu Jiu walked to the medicine cabinet to prepare the medicine…
