2580 Eat 3 pounds of Chinese cabbage a day
"Does it be normal?" said the patient. "I lost weight a while ago, but I was hospitalized twice. I think this person is life at all times. There is no need to be too mean to himself and return to normal diet."
Su Yun seemed to remember something, but the patient's oral statement did not match, and his brows were tighter.
"You mean that plants in the Crusogenaceae contain glucosinolates, which can cause insufficient intake of iodine and goiter?" Zheng Ren asked.
"There can only be an explanation." Su Yun looked at the patient in confusion and said.
"Generally speaking, it's not possible. A study of five subjects with normal thyroid function showed that after drinking 430 grams of kale juice twice a day for 7 consecutive days, the subjects' average thyroid radioiodine intake decreased by 2.52% from the baseline level for 6 hours, but there was no abnormality in serum thyroid function tests." Zheng Ren said.
"That's a normal person, and it may not be like this for abnormal patients with hypothyroidism." Su Yun insisted.
"Doctor, doctor, I like to eat meat, so I like to eat it. During the period of weight loss, I almost felt uncomfortable. I was useless to do anything, my life lost its direction and meaning. Do you think that people have been struggling for millions of years and finally climbed to the top of the food chain, why do you have to eat vegetarian food again?"
The patient is familiar with him. He just met Zheng Ren and Su Yun, and he was already speechless.
Zheng Ren also felt that Su Yun’s words made sense, so he thought about it carefully, and then said: “You are talking about a survey in 2015 by the journal “thyroid”.”
Su Yun nodded. He felt something was wrong and didn't even sit with the patient. If another patient had changed, he would have sat together and started talking with Su Yun's temper.
Today, this "old" patient feels strange no matter how he looks at it.
"I have seen an extreme case - in 2010, there was a case report in the New England magazine. An 88-year-old woman ate 1.0-1.5kg of raw cabbage every day to control her blood sugar for several months, and eventually developed mucous edema and coma." Zheng Ren said: "If it weren't for the serious New England report, I wouldn't believe it. The amount of cabbage was too large."
"Three kilograms of cabbage a day, isn't it just feeding rabbits?" Although the patient couldn't quite understand what the two were saying, it was simple and basic. For example, 3 kilograms of cabbage a day, etc.
"It's quite extreme. Are you eating normally?" Su Yun asked: "Does there be any diet control because of diabetes?"
"No, I said that I like to eat meat. Vegetable leaves and leaves are nonsense. If you eat them, you won't be troublesome. You will be hungry after a while. I don't have gout, diabetes, and I have high blood pressure but not severe. While I can still eat, hurry up and don't wait until I get old."
The patient said, swallowing hard, "I'm just like this now, I'm sick intermittently. I guess I won't be able to eat until I'm old."
"No, it's just hypothyroidism and goiter..." Zheng Ren hesitated for a moment. The two diseases were linked together, but they had nothing to do with the thyroid crisis and sudden goiter leading to dyspnea.
Chronic goiter caused by different reasons is called goiter. Goiter can be divided into two categories: simple goiter and hyperthyroidism. The former can be divided into diffuse goiter and nodular goiter.
The patient's diagnosis was hypothyroidism, and the diagnosis of large pig's hooves was consistent with that of 912, so it can only be considered as simple goiter.
The more Zheng Ren thought about it, the more something was wrong.
"What did the doctor say when you were hospitalized a few times?" Zheng Ren asked.
"I said my disease was very strange, so I asked me to check it out carefully. The specifics were very complicated. I was not a medical student, so I couldn't say so many professional words." The patient said, "but I didn't want to do a puncture biopsy or iodine radiation. I heard it and it was dead. Later, I was discharged from the hospital and went home."
The medical responsibilities are poor to a certain extent, and the patient has his own opinions and is even slightly extreme. Zheng Ren has his own judgment on the patient, and he continues to think about the information he just heard.
Long-term intake of cruciferous vegetables may reduce the production of thyroxine, but the patient clearly stated that he does not have this situation.
And in the long run, it is really difficult to achieve a large number of two words.
Especially if you want to persist for 3 kilograms of cabbage a day, it is not something that ordinary people can do. It is already like an ascetic. Zheng Ren frowned when he thought about letting himself eat 3 kilograms of cabbage a day.
"What else do you eat?" Su Yun asked.
"Meat! Apart from meat, it's meat!" When the patient said the word meat, his eyes were shining. "Everyone said that carbohydrates are true love, so I don't think so. No matter how delicious Northeast rice is, it's not as satisfying as a large piece of fat meat."
Is it related to eating meat or fat? Zheng Ren carefully searched a lot of information, but in the end he was confused.
"I still think it has something to do with the cruciferous family." Su Yun insisted: "This extreme situation can only occur if you eat a large amount of cruciferous family plants for a long time. Do you eat carrots and various radishes?"
"If you don't eat it, it's all water when you bite it. How can the meat be delicious?"
"How do you eat meat? Shredded pickled pork?" Su Yun continued to ask.
"No, it's just that I'll eat large pieces of food after I cook it. Dip the garlic paste, eat large pieces of meat, and drink in big mouthfuls. This is the greatest enjoyment of life." The patient was a little depressed when he said this, "I'll be hospitalized this time, and I don't know how many days I can't eat meat."
"Everyone orders, you can eat meat. The hospital noodles are very convenient. They are not delicious, but they can be eaten." Zheng Ren said.
"It's different, I still have to make it the best. By the way, the price of pork has increased this year, and I spend a lot of money a day..."
As he spoke, the patient turned the topic aside again.
Zheng Ren was also quite helpless. This is the most typical Kanye. If he didn't stop him, he would probably be able to go until tomorrow morning.
"Wait a minute, do you... take what health supplements do you usually take?" Zheng Ren suddenly remembered something and asked.
"Not eating... it's wrong." The patient looked at Zheng Ren secretly and whispered: "Doctor Zheng, I'll recommend something to you."
Zheng Ren became alert in an instant.
"I'm not asking you to buy it, I'm not a business dealer, nor a micro-businessman. Don't be so careful about me." The patient saw Zheng Ren's vigilance and immediately explained: "When it comes to health products, I started soaking wolfberry in water after 40, but that thing works slowly. Guess what I eat?"
"Where can you guess this?" Zheng Ren had no intention of answering the conversation.
