"By precisely modulating cellular identity signals, restoring the balance of the tissue microenvironnt."
Yang Ping suddenly sat up straight, took out a sheet of A4 paper, and began to construct a new theoretical frawork, one that connects the core concepts of Eastern and Western dicine.
Western traditional approach: Disease as "other" invasion → Treatnt as "attack/eradicate" (antibiotics, chemotherapy, targeted drugs)
Eastern traditional approach: Disease as "system imbalance" → Treatnt as "regulate/restore balance" (herbs, acupuncture, massage)
New approach: Disease as "system logic error" → Treatnt as "system correction and state reset"
Modern dicine: intervention at the molecular level (proteins, genes, signaling pathways)
Traditional Chinese dicine: macro-system regulation (qi and blood, yin and yang, organs)
Future dicine: intervention at the system logic level (cellular identity state, tissue order protocol, etc.)
"Regulate" rather than "attack"
"Dialogue" rather than "war"
"Repair" rather than "destroy"
...
Yang Ping’s eyes grew brighter; he realized that all his past thoughts were unconsciously gravitating towards the core wisdom of Chinese dicine, only rephrased in the language of modern science.
But this was not a simple "using science to prove the correctness of Chinese dicine." This was a deeper integration: using modern biological technology to achieve the treatnt principles of Chinese dicine that have existed for millennia.
In ancient tis, healers could only use complex combinations of natural herbs, which, after human tabolism, produced various molecules to regulate the entire system macroscopically. The effects were present but the chanisms were vague, dosing was inaccurate, individual differences were trendous, and it was all rely a result of experiential accumulation.
Now, they can use genetic engineering to precisely manufacture various active factors, decipher the structure of TIM proteins, and use single-cell sequencing to monitor each cell’s response in real-ti; this is "system regulation" at the molecular level.
"It’s not about modernizing Chinese dicine, it’s about the sinicization of modern dicine..." Yang Ping muttered to himself, then shook his head, "No, neither is correct; it’s sothing else—a system regulation dicine based on a profound understanding of life systems."
Western dicine is correct; so is Chinese dicine; they solve diseases from different perspectives.
In fact, there’s fundantally no conflict between them; different diseases suit different approaches.
For instance, infections caused by so viruses, bacteria, and other microorganisms, where Western dicine uses antibiotics to directly eliminate pathogens. For diseases caused by such external factors, directly eliminating the lethal external factors is the best thod; attempting to restore health through regulation has a very limited success rate. But one could assist in the recovery of the bodily system disturbed by pathogens while eliminating the pathogens; there’s a primary-secondary issue here.
It’s akin to a computer getting infected by viruses; the best solution is thorough virus removal.
Whereas for other diseases such as tumors, hypertension, diabetes, etc., regardless of the initiating factors, they ultimately result in systemic disorders. It’s necessary to use regulation to restore the body’s systems to normal operation. Of course, eliminating these initiating factors prevents recurrence.
Could the "Inner Canon of Huangdi" truly have been written by ancient people? Why did the ancients have such advanced concepts?
These concepts were more advanced than those of modern dicine, but the tools to realize them were limited, forcing reliance on selections from natural flora, fauna, and minerals.
He promptly convened an ergency discussion eting.
"Everyone, I believe I’ve found sothing more fundantal."
In the eting Room, Yang Ping drew two circles on the whiteboard, one labeled "Attack," the other labeled "Regulate."
"Over the past few months, we have been proving that K Therapy is not just about targeted killing but triggering the self-destruct program of cancer cells. We call this process ’identity authentication.’" Yang Ping looked at the team, "But today I realized that we can understand it from a higher dinsion."
He pointed to the "Regulate" circle: "This is not ’attack-destroy,’ but ’regulate-restore.’
Song Zimo frowned: "But the cancer cells are indeed cleared, right?"
"Yes, but the thod of clearing is different," Yang Ping explained, "For example, chemotherapy poisons indiscriminately, attacking everything, damaging normal tissues. Immunotherapy arms immunocytes to attack, potentially triggering an excessive immune response. Whereas K Therapy... recall the data from our typical cases."
"As tumors shrink, the patient’s liver function indicators improve, sleep quality enhances, and there’s a feeling of a system-wide cleanse, not an experience of destruction but one of restored order."
Lu Xiaolu pondered, "It’s like... the difference between rebooting a computer and smashing it?"
"Sothing like that!" Yang Ping nodded, "Chemotherapy is smashing; K Therapy is finding system errors and fixing them, rebooting the problematic program modules when necessary, which ans the cancer cells."
He further elaborated, "The human body, as a complex system, inherently has strong self-repair and order maintenance capabilities. Traditional Chinese dicine’s core wisdom is to trust and mobilize these capabilities. However, modern dicine has long adopted a more direct but also more brutal attack strategy. Neither is wrong, and both have their applicable scopes."
"Our research shows," Yang Ping’s voice was full of conviction, "when regulation is precise enough, down to the molecular conformation level, we can trigger the system’s powerful repair programs with minimal intervention."
Tang Shun raised his hand, "So you’re saying, the K Factor doesn’t directly kill cancer cells but ’regulates’ their state, leading them from a ’rebellious state’ back to an ’orderly state,’ and the process of returning is initiated by a preset clearing program?"
"Precisely." Yang Ping wrote down a key equation on the whiteboard:
Precise modulation of cellular identity state → triggers system order maintenance protocols → abnormal cells undergo programd removal
"This explains many phenona," Song Zimo thought quickly, "Why does the overall state of so patients improve post-treatnt? Why is tissue regeneration observed in so cases? Because it’s not the cleanup after a war but the restoration of order after quelling a rebellion."
Yang Ping added, "This also points to a broader prospect; if we can ’regulate’ cancer cells using this thod, then theoretically, we can ’regulate’ other disease states similarly—autoimmune diseases, degenerative diseases, tabolic diseases..."
The eting Room fell silent as everyone realized what this idea ant.
It’s not a new drug.
It’s not a new technology.
But a brand new dical model.
"But we need proof," Yang Ping broke the silence, "proof that this is not just philosophical speculation but a feasible scientific frawork. We need to convert the concept of ’regulation’ from Chinese dicine’s macro description to the precise language of modern biology."
We need to monitor changes in tumor cells and extensively monitor systemic changes in patients throughout the treatnt process: dynamics of immune cell subpopulations, changes in tabolite spectra, organ function indicators, even changes in intestinal flora. We need to map the systemic regulation landscape induced by K Therapy.
Explore different doses of K Factor triggering different system responses to see if there is a "optimal regulation dose" that both triggers tumor clearance and maximizes systemic repair responses. Is there a "over-regulation" side effect?
Begin a small-scale exploration of the effects of K Factor analogs in other disease models, collaborating with the autoimmune disease team to test if TIM regulation can correct erroneous immune attacks; explore the potential of identity state modulation for fat cells, liver cells in cooperation with the tabolic disease team.
"This will be a five-year, ten-year long-term project," Yang Ping concluded, "but the first step begins with the next patient."
"I recomnd everyone take the ti to read this book!"
Yang Ping placed a copy of the "Inner Canon of Huangdi" at the center of the eting table.
Although they were all practitioners of Western dicine, everyone was quite familiar with the book. In the past, these practitioners generally weren’t keen on exploring Chinese dicine, so it was unimaginable that they would read such a classical Chinese dical text in its entirety. But now, with the professor suggesting this book, their perspectives were sure to change.
The "Inner Canon of Huangdi" was closest to Tang Shun; he reached out to take it, never having read it before.
"Could the professor’s impressive skills have co from studying Chinese dical classics?" he wondered.
Beside him, Griffin craned his neck: "Inner Canon of Huangdi"? Could this be the professor’s secret?
