Should Chinese medicine be completely eliminated?
David Cyranoski, Asia-Pacific correspondent of Nature Research, published an article entitled "China relaxes the regulation of traditional Chinese medicine despite safety risks" on June 29th 165438, accusing the China government of "relaxing the regulation of traditional Chinese medicine".

China did this because he made an independent decision to change the status quo of Chinese medicine. Since you don't understand Chinese medicine, don't point fingers at Chinese medicine, lest you fall into a trap, hurt your feelings and leave people with a few words.

1, Chinese medicine, also known as Chinese medicine, is the precious wealth of the Chinese nation and has made great contributions to its prosperity. The basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine is a theoretical summary of human life activities and diseases, which mainly includes the theories of yin and yang, five elements, luck, dirty images, meridians and so on, as well as etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, syndrome differentiation, treatment, prevention and health preservation. If we can't fully grasp and understand the history of Chinese medicine, it is unfair and unbelievable to judge Chinese medicine only by one thing.

Chinese medicine has been really valued by China in recent years. 2016,2065438+06, the State Council press office published the white paper "Traditional Chinese Medicine in China". This is the first time that the government of China has released a white paper on the development of Chinese medicine. The white paper systematically introduces the development and characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine, comprehensively introduces China's national policies and main measures for developing traditional Chinese medicine, and shows the scientific value and cultural characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine. The treatment concept of traditional medicine is gradually accepted by the world. Traditional medicine has been paid more and more attention by the international community, and the demand for traditional Chinese medicine is increasing worldwide, which provides a broad space for the development of traditional Chinese medicine.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine have their own strengths, and each has its own emphasis. They are outstanding representatives of Chinese traditional culture. Traditional Chinese medicine has theories, such as Huangdi Neijing and Zhang Zhongjing's Treatise on Febrile Diseases. And there is evidence. Judging from the inheritance of China in the past dynasties, the medical books of famous doctors in the past dynasties have made great contributions to the prosperity of the Chinese nation. According to the logical thinking of western medicine, before western medicine was introduced into China, China people should have died. Their theory is that western medicine is the real medical skill, but Chinese medicine is not. If Chinese medicine is not, I would like to ask, how did your family see a doctor and treat a disease before Western medicine was introduced to China? How to breed to your generation? In fact, modern western medicine was just a folk witch doctor in the west before the outbreak of the Black Death. Now, it is only 500 years old. Western medicine is only advanced in surgery and medical equipment, and others are just hehehe. If compared with Chinese medicine, there is no comparison at all. For example, a cold is the same as western medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine varies from person to person, from person to person, from constitution to constitution, and from medicine to medicine.

I remember that there was a bridge, and I was ill. I asked for a doctor temporarily, and only Wen could be used. Only Wen knows the physique and how to use medicine, and others can't take over. This is the characteristic of Chinese medicine. If you don't know Chinese medicine, don't pretend to know it, so as not to embarrass yourself. Besides, if Chinese medicine fails, people who don't believe in Chinese medicine and their families will die long before western medicine is introduced into China. Be a man and learn to respect! Chinese and western medicine have their own advantages and disadvantages, so there is no need to "compare the advantages and disadvantages". Western medicine has its advantages and many disadvantages. Traditional Chinese medicine also has shortcomings, but it has the advantage of keeping the Chinese nation alive for thousands of years! That's enough!

We are not "protecting calves". In fact, the risk has always existed. Earlier, China Food and Drug Administration urgently recalled two kinds of traditional Chinese medicine injections because they caused chills, fever and other adverse reactions in 10 patients. But what does this mean? It can only show that our country can still find the shortcomings of Chinese medicine in time and take remedial measures. It is unscientific to evaluate Chinese medicine with the concept of western medicine. Chinese and western medicine are completely different medical systems. Traditional Chinese medicine is empirical medicine, which treats according to syndrome differentiation and pays attention to treatment from a holistic view. Western medicine pays attention to disease differentiation and treatment, evidence-based medicine, and verifies the efficacy of drugs through clinical trials.

Since its birth, Chinese medicine has been constantly trying to make mistakes and accumulating from bit by bit experience. Otherwise, how can there be medical works such as Huangdi Neijing, Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Compendium of Materia Medica? ! There is no lack of magic in Chinese medicine. Some things that are considered highly toxic by the west are complementary, such as arsenic, which has the effects of eroding sores, killing insects, robbing phlegm and stopping malaria. Commonly used for hemorrhoids, scrofula, carbuncle, swollen sores, rickets, ringworm sores, etc. Therefore, we don't need to try our best to describe TCM as a science, and we don't need to turn a blind eye to the great treasure it may contain because it is not a science.

4. "Classic prescription exemption" conforms to the general trend of drug registration management reform, but the real problem lies in the game of interests of all parties. Traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions pay attention to "monarch, minister and assistant", which is based on the theory of mutual development and mutual resistance and has been clinically verified through long-term research. For Chinese medicine dealers, that is their "lifeblood". Whoever has mastered the "secret recipe" is the leader of the pharmaceutical industry.

Do you still remember that segment in "Da Zhai Men"? The "vinyl" developed by Bai Jingqi made him from nothing to millions, and the potions developed by Baicaotang were the foundation of Da Zhai Men. "Exemption from inspection" is not a retrogression of China. The inheritance and innovation of TCM classics will undoubtedly reduce the research and development cost and cycle of classic famous prescriptions and encourage enterprises to develop new drugs.

Western attacks on Chinese medicine are nothing more than fear that Chinese medicine will occupy their market. After all, their development is only a few hundred years, but we have a history of thousands of years!

In short, if you don't understand Chinese medicine, please shut up and make the world clean!
