Isekai Yakkyoku - Vol. 14 Ch. 69 - Misunderstanding

[welcome2atlantis]

She wasn't just anemic and dizzy? 🤔

 

[Seinvolf]

Thank u always for ur great work...
^^...

 

[dowiet]

His brother recognizes something wrong before him eh?

Spoiler: Page 9 Sentence error?

I don't believe the part on the right that has "IT'D" needs the " 'D" portion? The entire sentence feels a bit strange but at least that part doesn't need to be there i think.

 

[Mafeb]

Did he perhaps see himself, or rather his old symptoms, in her? If she's got leukemia as well it could be interesting

 

[Lioness94]

Ah, this reminds me of a painful part of my childhood.
I had warts on practically every finger, the biggest was even as big as the middle knuckle of my pinky finger. I had to go back again and again to the GP every once in a while to freezeburn them of like Farma did. Thankfully they stopped returning in my mid-teens.

 

[Qwaser5r]

Thanks for the chapter!
(Also, Nice!)


If someone that have read the novels can answer me:

Spoiler: Big Spoilers

Did we pass the point where his brother dies? I remember reading that was something tha happens in the novel, i just want to confirm if the manga is diverging from that point

 

[Vsmit]

His brother is currently recovering from a bout with cancer, which may be what you're referencing?

 

[Dragou]

On a side note does anyone know how many more chapters we might have until that happens?

Until what happens?

 

[REMasher]

Does he recognize similar symptoms he had?

 

[Shinigamisama]

Ara, what a noice chapter.

It's very fitting for being Ch 69.

Ngl it'd be cool if he marries her considering she helps make the stuff he asks. Keep the trade secret or whatever within the family.
Big brother needs her number.

Thanks for that, I'll look into it.

 

[JACGohu]

Possible, but i am wondering if they'd make this much of a deal if it really is just that.

Potential for something shady, or perhaps the introduction of hypoglycemia and diabetes?

 

[fight2live]

girl might be anemic

 

[DrSuperKamiGuru]

It's neat that the author is using scientific names to show Farma's knowledge, but it's also very out of place since this is another world where I presume Latin does not exist. So when he says "The common wart, also known as Verruca Vulgaris." I'm like, no it isn't. Not in that world.

 

[kingdudman]

Now big bro is going to be the hero.

 

[Ironclad]

It is not just a "supplement", and just calling it "pearl barley" is a bald-faced lie. It is sometimes referred to as Chinese pearl barley in that it can be used the same culinarily as barley (as a soup grain) and that merchants when exporting it from China falsely called it such, but Adlay Millet (Coix lacryma-jobi) is NOT common barley (Hordeum vulgare), and does in fact have multiple scientifically recognized medicinal uses. Coixenolide inhibits NF-κB transcription pathways to reduce tumor cell proliferation and suppresses autoimmune swelling. Coixol targets specific inflammation pathways and exhibits neuroprotective qualities. Coixans (A, B, & C) are strong antioxidants, scavenging free radicals aggressively, and like the former two, regulate swelling and help modulate immune responses via the TLR-2, TLR-4 and Dectin-1 cell-surface receptors. There's more, but I'm sure I've gotten my point across. Don't talk shit about science, especially in a story that has historically done its research quite well on its scientific information, unless you do your research first.

You're really reaching. Those are some random studies. They're all from Chinese journals and they're citing traditional medicine books. Yes, it contains antioxidants and potentially some anti-inflammatory/immunomodulator compounds. Wow, so do most fruits and vegetables. I can find studies on how to fight cancer by eating cherries and broccoli sprouts as well. Apologies for not specifying that Chinese pearl barley and regular pearl barley are slightly different but they are both cereal grains that people use for regular food. Do you have any idea how much you would need to eat to have any therapeutic effects? This is why traditional medicine is a bad idea. You find a novel compound and pretend it justifies centuries of quackery. Also one of those studies mentioned something pretty alarming about giving coix seeds to women of reproductive age.

Coix seed constituents have strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity activity, stimulate reproductive hormones, promote uterine contraction and modulate gut microbiota.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16076766/

This is why giving people random teas and tinctures instead of purified medications is dangerous. None of the handful of biologically active compounds in coix seeds being studied seem helpful with plantar warts to begin with. You just looked for any research related to adlay millet. I can't help but think you felt some cultural obligation to defend traditional medicine.

Also you made the baseless claim that the story is well researched. There's some absolute quackery in this story aside from this chapter and a lot of half-baked knowledge from the cosmetics and supplement industry. Like that time Pharma insisted eating curry is good for indigestion and gut health because it has spices and yogurt in it. I don't think I need to explain why spicy curry when you have the runs is a bad idea. There was also that time he gave Lotte heparinoid cream which is used for varicose veins/thrombophlebitis, but a girl Lotte's age is not getting occluded blood vessels in her hands unless she has a much more serious medical condition. If she's getting cuts and bruises from manual labor, then a topical heparin could make her develop a hematoma.

 

[N2O]

A proposal on chapter 69 hm

 

[BusWindow]

If Palle is able to notice something medical before Falma does, it'll be a nice confidence booster for him.

 

[xEternalSoul]

Highly unethical for a pharmacist to hawk supplements like that. While Job's Tears (fucking pearl barley) have been used in traditional medicine in East Asia there have been no identified compounds suitable for use in medicine. It's about as close to medicine as eating a handful of chia seeds.

A more sane supplement for someone to take to improve "skin regeneration" would be vitamin C which is directly involved in proline hydroxylation needed for collagen synthesis as well as several other benefits to skin health like its antioxidant effects.

Stupid careless pseudoscience like this flies in the face of the premise of the story. Did Pharma's sister die because she was getting traditional medicine prescribed with the same recklessness?

I don't know about the actual effects of it in reality but I feel like you are overreacting and ignoring the context of the story. You seem to be treating this as a highly accurate educational manga and take what is presented to be 'facts' as claimed by the author. Some mistakes/discrepancies with real life information is not too crazy. The context of the story is that he has the diagnostic eyes and can tell what treatment is effective on what ailments, this means that in the view of the story, it is not pseudoscience at all but a genuine solution. If that's the case, what premise is being broken here?

 

[ocsibrm]

I gotta say, I appreciate dude being all "Nah I'm not for romance I'm 12", after reading Mushoku and alla that goofiness.
