Respond to the previous respondent's answer:/Not very reliable. Chinese medicine is mainly about health preservation. Not suitable for treating diseases. The effect is slow. But there are few side effects/Chinese medicine is not based on health preservation. Whether a doctor was famous in ancient times depended on whether he could cure the disease. Moreover, Chinese medicine is also very shameful in terms of health preservation. Last year, there was a statistic in Taiwan Province Province, which counted the average life expectancy of all doctors. The results show that Chinese medicine practitioners who should know how to keep in good health are 6 or 7 years younger than western medicine and dentists. This is still in the case of serious illness and modern medicine. If they are not allowed to see modern medicine, the life expectancy of these Chinese medicine practitioners may be even lower. This can't help but ask, how much role has TCM health care played? Is it even more advantageous to really reach the level of modern nutrition? At least from the survey data, the answer isno. Besides, Chinese medicine has many side effects. It's just that Chinese medicine doesn't label side effects, while western medicine clearly labels side effects. If you don't believe me, go and buy some Chinese patent medicines. Read the instructions. I can assure you that more than 90% of the instructions on Chinese patent medicines are exactly the same. In other words, the research on the side effects of traditional Chinese medicine still stays in ancient times, but in the increasingly strict modern times, different drugs have the same contraindications, which is completely irresponsible. In addition, many drugs initially marked as slightly toxic or non-toxic have been proved to contain serious toxicity in modern research. This heavy toxicity is no longer a side effect. The damage caused by side effects to human body is reversible, and can be recovered after drug withdrawal, but the damage caused by severe toxicity to dependents is irreversible and permanent, such as renal failure. It's just that Chinese medicine doesn't know or tell you. /You should take a serious look at the basic theory of TCM. You said that if you want to understand Chinese medicine, you must read medical books first, which is correct. However, "all these are inside" has become a problem. I wonder if there is a God in the world. Can you read the Bible? Does the Bible say there is a God? Reading can only let us know what it says, but we can't let it say it. Is that what it says? /Shennong tastes a hundred herbs and encounters seventy poisons a day. What you are practicing is ... Do you think it is reliable? /Don't use myths and legends as evidence, or you will say that China people are made of clay by Nuwa! As for the practice, do you think it is reliable to knock on the pot to scare the dog to save the moon? /After acupuncture, the electrostatic potential at acupoints increased obviously, and potential fluctuation appeared on the meridian line, but not outside the meridian line. This experiment did not appear when other scientists repeated it. Repeatability is a basic principle of scientific experiment, but unfortunately, this kind of meridian experiment is unrepeatable. To put it mildly, this is that the experiment is not strict. To put it seriously, there may be strict fraud. So far, there is no paper in the first-class medical journals in the world to verify the existence of meridians. If this experiment really passes, the whole world will be shocked. In fact, doctors all over the world should avoid the main neural network when doing surgery, but never pay attention to what meridians are not. However, nerve breakage can cause serious problems, and there has never been a case of problems due to broken meridians. Therefore, the principle of acupuncture treatment is that bioelectricity is generated at acupoints, and the physiological activities of the corresponding viscera and organs are regulated through meridians, so that their functions can be restored to normal and the purpose of treatment can be achieved. /Two experiments abroad directly proved this so-called principle. One is the experiment of true and false acupoints, and the results show that there is no difference between true and false acupoints. The other is the experiment of true and false acupuncture, which shows that there is no difference between the so-called principle and throwing it out without passing the experimental test, and it is no different from pulling eggs. /Son, poison refers to its partiality, and good use is a good medicine and a specific medicine! For drugs containing aristolochic acid, Chinese medicine cannot treat diseases with aristolochic acid, which is a nephrotoxic substance. Modern China Pharmacopoeia has explicitly prohibited plants containing aristolochic acid from being used as medicine. Son, the so-called fight poison with poison is that bad Chinese medicine is fooling people, and you have been fooled. In fact, whether a toxic drug is used to treat diseases depends on the balance of interests, so that the benefits you get outweigh the damage caused by toxicity, which makes you qualified to use drugs. Secondly, compared with the benefits of other drugs, other drugs have the same efficacy as this drug, but the toxicity is less than it, so give up this drug and choose other drugs. Like plants containing aristolochic acid, in any case, its harm far exceeds its benefits, so it is directly banned. The Chinese medicine system does not know that aristolochic acid plants have such harm. In other words, without the modern pharmaceutical system, it is impossible for Chinese medicine to know which medicine has what kind of harm. It's just that the Chinese medicine system is used to evading responsibility, eating well, Chinese medicine has no toxic side effects and eating badly. One is that drug poisoning runs away after three minutes, and those who can't run away are directly blamed on quacks, but they never consider whether there is a problem with the Chinese medicine system. A theory of yin-yang and five elements that has nothing to do with human body can be directly applied to human body to guide the treatment of diseases, and it has not changed so far. Based on this, we can determine the absurdity of the theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine. Now science is developed from the west, which can be said to be western science. Chinese medicine is an oriental science. There is only one kind of science, and there is no distinction between things. There is only one purpose to distinguish between eastern science and western science, that is, I don't want to meet the requirements of science, but I also want to get the reputation of science, that is, I want to be a bitch and build a legendary chastity archway. We can't ask western science to prove eastern medicine. In fact, science has never proved any other theoretical system. The first thing science does is to confirm the phenomenon, then draw a theory from the phenomenon, and then repeatedly test and correct the theory from the phenomenon. As for oriental medicine, science will confirm whether it has real curative effect, and then study why it has curative effect. As for how the East is explained and theorized, science will not study it at all. It's just that eastern medicine is afraid of western testing. The fundamental reason is that science only attaches importance to evidence and experiments are quite strict, so the so-called oriental medical skills can not pass the strict test. What if I fail? Creating an "oriental science" not only labels it as "science", but also escapes the strictness of science. Ha ha. /In Japan, South Korea and even the world, there is a strong vitality. Others plunder and use our cultural treasures by applying for the World Heritage, but you are ignorant and suspicious. /Hehe, science never tries to apply for the World Heritage. For example, no one in Britain is interested in applying Newton's gravity, and no one applies Einstein's theory of relativity. Moreover, culturally, no one abroad has applied for a Christmas legacy. The application for World Heritage only shows one thing. This thing is going to decline. May disappear in the long river of history under the impact of modern times. By the way, aren't the Japanese and Koreans robbing China? I think there is another way: exchange! Trade their latest technology for your so-called China treasure. The question is, do you think people like Japan and South Korea would be so stupid? Everyone knows what is really valuable. Finally, Koreans applied for the Dragon Boat Festival, which made many cynics angry and felt that South Korea had robbed China of its culture. In fact, this is all ignorance. Han Shen's Dragon Boat Festival, but will not deny that the Dragon Boat Festival originated in China, just because the Korean Dragon Boat Festival has its own specific cultural form, which is more distinctive than the current Dragon Boat Festival in China. For example, the successful application of Tibetan Buddhism does not deny that Buddhism originated in India, but after thousands of years of inheritance, Tibetan Buddhism has its own unique form and blood. Therefore, don't say that foreign countries steal China's culture and are ignorant. Culture can't be taken away.
