Ask a professor: the specific gap between dietotherapy and drug therapy
The difference between the two can be explained from the following aspects:

1. Objective: Dietotherapy focuses on health care and prevention, and the therapeutic effect is good, but it is mainly to supplement some substances, and there is no drug treatment for the enhancement of function or the cure of diseases;

2. Effect: The dietotherapy effect is not obvious, and the drug treatment effect is quick and obvious;

3. Time: Dietotherapy takes a long time. Eating the same food for a long time will make the human body's reaction biased and uneven (such as constipation caused by heat or constipation caused by body cold, long-term diarrhea, loose stool, etc.). ), and because of the syndrome, drug treatment takes a short time. For diseases that can be cured by diet therapy and drug therapy, the time of diet therapy is about 3- 10 times that of drug therapy.

4. Side effects: The side effects of diet therapy are very small. Even if you eat the same food for a long time, it will not cause harm to human health. However, due to individual differences, the time of taking medicine, the length of taking medicine, and the differences in important decocting methods, no matter what medicine, it will cause all kinds of harm to the human body. Even because quacks (doctors who are not good at medical skills, but only consider economic benefits or sit in front of a computer but are irresponsible to patients) prescribe drugs that are not symptomatic, that kind of harm is even greater.

Except those who are diagnosed with trace element deficiency, it is best to use diet therapy for other diseases. Dietotherapy can't cure diseases, but can only be used as an auxiliary means of drug treatment.

Using dietotherapy for worrying about the side effects of drug therapy will often greatly prolong the development of the disease, leading to uncontrollable illness or rapid decline of human immunity.

Of course, people who ask such questions are generally taboo about medication. In fact, in addition to drugs and diet,

There are many kinds of therapies, such as natural therapies: scraping/cupping/acupuncture/massage/yoga/even stretching/physical exercise.
