Chicken blood therapy is to cure diseases by beating chicken blood, referred to as "beating chicken blood". /kloc-0 was popular during the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s.
The specific operation method is: extract about 50 ml of chicken blood from the blood vessels under the wings of cock (preferably cockerel) and inject it subcutaneously into human body once a week. It is said that after repeated injections, people will be ruddy and energetic, and they can also cure diseases and strengthen their bodies.
So, for a time, the whole country, from developed big cities to backward hinterland, was full of legends and practices. Hospitals and outpatient injection rooms at all levels are very busy. People queue up with roosters for injections, and chicken feathers and feces are often scattered in the injection room.
The pioneer of chicken blood therapy is Shanghai doctor Yu Changshi. According to Yu Changshi, when he was practicing medicine, he measured the temperature of the chicken's asshole and found that the chicken's body temperature was 43 degrees, far higher than the human body's 37 degrees. Therefore, he thinks that chicken blood has high fever skills, which can regulate the nerve center, promote metabolism, and finally achieve the functions of antibacterial, antitoxic, disease prevention and treatment.
This practice without clinical trials and scientific basis catered to the "spending less money to treat serious diseases" at that time; The slogan of "no sewing thread is needed to cure diseases", and chicken blood therapy quickly swept the country north and south. In Yu Changshi's mouth, chicken blood therapy has become an international leading medical achievement.
An unscientific and life-threatening medical scam, time will expose everything. Chicken blood therapy also brings us a lot of thoughts, why such an absurd move can be quickly popular in China, and why some people question it and some people besieged it.
A few years ago, there was a "mung bean therapy" in Zhang Wuben. With the people's trust in the official TV station, Dr. Zhang talked a lot on TV, claiming that mung bean soup can cure all diseases, including incurable diseases that make modern medicine helpless. At one time, in some people, everyone was talking about mung bean soup and drinking it every day. That soup was as powerful as chicken blood in those days, which made mung bean a rare commodity and a hard-to-find bean like a rooster in those days.
Today, China people still blindly follow the trend, lacking the spirit of independent thinking and scientific questioning. So-and-so therapy still has the soil to survive, but it's just a vest.
Chicken blood therapy has a lot to reflect on, but it also brings us an unexpected by-product, that is, the word "chicken blood". Although this is a new word, it is frequently used. According to the established usage, it usually refers to the abnormal emotional excitement of someone or something, and it is generally considered that the part of speech is neutral and derogatory.
At this point, I was so excited that I finished. It's like beating chicken blood.
