The first one is unreliable: exaggerating the curative effect.
Before Master Zhang, dietotherapy was not valued by people and was not popularized in the field of Chinese medicine. For commercial purposes, Master Zhang was pushed to the altar by merchants, and he preached that mung beans and eggplant were a "panacea" for all diseases. In fact, Zhang Wuben is just a Chinese medicine enthusiast, not even a doctor. Most of his TCM health preserving theories are specious "Hu Kan".
The second one is unreliable: the diet formula is fabricated.
In ancient China, dietotherapy was exclusive to the rich and privileged, and many rare ingredients were not seen by ordinary people at all, let alone bought and eaten. Because there are few precious ingredients, there are not many relative diet formulas. After dietotherapy became popular, all kinds of strange dietotherapy formulas flooded the internet. With a little statistics, there were more than 100,000 kinds, most of which were fabricated by modern merchants.
The third one is unreliable: the formula lacks the principle of compatibility.
There is a saying that "blindly non-medicine", monarch, minister, assistant and envoy are the principles of Chinese medicine. Among them, monarch medicine is the main medicine, which embodies the main direction of the prescription and ranks first in the prescription, and is an indispensable medicine in the prescription; Minister drugs are drugs that assist monarch drugs to strengthen the treatment of main symptoms; Adjuvant medicine has three meanings: one is adjuvant medicine, which is used to treat secondary syndromes; Second, adjuvant drugs are used to eliminate or slow down the toxicity of monarch drugs and minister drugs or drugs with strong medicinal properties; Third, anti-adjuvant drugs, that is, drugs that, contrary to monarch drugs, can play a supplementary role in treatment according to the needs of diseases; This medicine has two functions, one is to regulate menstruation, the other is to guide the drugs in the prescription directly to the affected area, and the other is to harmonize the functions of drugs, so as to make them work synergistically and eliminate evil spirits. Therefore, the lack of a "monarch-minister-assisted" diet formula has no therapeutic effect at all, and its health-preserving effect is not very strong.
The fourth one is unreliable: insufficient processing.
Modern people buy Chinese herbal medicines from the market according to the formula and cook them for consumption. As we all know, Chinese herbal medicines need to be "processed" to "remove their poison and preserve their nature". Seventeen Methods of Leigong Gun Moxibustion is a famous processing method of traditional Chinese medicine in ancient times, in which the refining process of traditional Chinese medicine is recorded in detail. The medicinal materials in the dietotherapy formula lack the processing technology, and their functions are naturally greatly reduced.
The fifth one is unreliable: food will never become medicine.
Friends who read the fourth point may say, since it is not good to eat medicinal materials, is it ok to eat raw materials? Food is the raw material to maintain life energy. These raw materials are digested by the human body and discharged in the form of energy or waste, so food is food, which can neither cure diseases nor preserve health. Eggplant, mung bean, apple, vegetable, etc. Just like rice and beef, it is always just food. Eating too much may make you fat, and eating too little may make you hungry, that's all.
The sixth one is unreliable: the safety of modern ingredients is not guaranteed.
This is the most crucial point. Undeniably, some dietotherapy formulas are still effective today, but there was no industrial pollution, chemical pesticides and heavy metal pollution in ancient times, so the ingredients were safe. People who like health care know that eating radish in winter and ginger in summer does not require a doctor to prescribe; Three dates a day will make you immortal. If radish, ginger and jujube become "poisons", eating too much will not only have no health care effect, but also destroy people's health.
