Some people will argue that how can it exist for thousands of years without advantages? I tell you, Chinese medicine exists because of those people.
People who oppose Chinese medicine tell you the truth. Chinese medicine is witchcraft and deception. It is impossible to diagnose and effectively treat the disease. The so-called ancestral secret recipes and folk remedies are not reliable. All those so-called Chinese medicine treatments and health care (moxibustion, acupuncture, massage, scraping, cupping, foot bath, fire therapy, meridian physiotherapy, etc.). In fact, it's all a mess, and Chinese medicine health care products, supplements and drinks are not reliable. Chinese medicine has no advantage! Only shortcomings, cheating money hurts people! ! !
I swear to god, absolutely with my conscience, to be fair! If there is half a sentence that wrongs Chinese medicine practitioners, it will thunder for five days!
Angry TCM doctor, TCM powder! I exposed the scam of Chinese medicine and touched their pain point, because Chinese medicine colluded with some unscrupulous profiteers and formed an interest chain.
Others will be dissatisfied, disagree and accuse me of being extreme. Because I completely deny Chinese medicine, I am one-sided. Some people will be gentle. They will think that Chinese medicine and western medicine have their own strengths, or just think that Chinese medicine has its own strengths. These people occasionally have personal experience and don't know the truth. They mistakenly believe that Chinese medicine has diagnostic value, and some people are superstitious about Chinese medicine. Otherwise, how could it exist for thousands of years? So, these people, it's time to wake up
At present, Chinese medicine exists in name only, and only Chinese medicine swindlers cheat everywhere and run amok. Only a few unwilling people clamored on the internet.
I emphasize my point again that superstition of Chinese medicine is tantamount to chronic suicide. Stay away from Chinese medicine and cherish life.
As a senior deputy chief physician of traditional Chinese medicine, I think the most important advantage of traditional Chinese medicine is the overall concept and dialectical treatment! The so-called holistic concept is the well-known foundation of Chinese medicine! Traditional Chinese medicine regards the human body as a whole, and the internal organs and limbs are interrelated, interactive and influential. For example, chronic asthmatic bronchitis (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthmatic bronchitis type), Chinese medicine believes that its lesions are related to lung, spleen and kidney, rather than simply thinking that it is related to lung like western medicine. Therefore, while treating diseases, Chinese medicine will not only use drugs for relieving cough and asthma, but also drugs for invigorating spleen and tonifying kidney. Strengthening the spleen can reduce the production of phlegm, and tonifying the kidney can improve the immunity of the body. Patients treated with traditional Chinese medicine will not recur for a winter. This is the well-known "traditional Chinese medicine". Western medicine is symptomatic treatment, aiming at symptoms, not appearances. Chinese medicine also pays attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment. This "syndrome" includes many symptoms of western medicine, such as chills, cough, coughing up thin white phlegm, asthma, cold limbs and so on. Western medicine classifies these "symptoms" as a "deficiency-cold syndrome" of Chinese medicine, and Chinese medicine should consider antiasthmatic drugs, antitussive drugs and drugs for warming and resolving phlegm for this syndrome. Another example is patients with liver disease. Western medicine treats patients with abnormal liver function with drugs for protecting liver and lowering enzymes, while traditional Chinese medicine often adds less drugs for strengthening spleen while soothing liver, regulating qi and relieving jaundice, because traditional Chinese medicine believes that viscera interact with each other, and there is a saying called "seeing liver diseases, knowing liver and dispersing spleen, strengthening spleen first", which means "If liver diseases are found, according to the Five Elements Theory, liver will block spleen." First of all, we must protect the spleen and stomach function. In fact, there are indeed many patients with liver disease who will have a series of symptoms of spleen and stomach dysfunction such as nausea, anorexia and abdominal distension. It is necessary to strengthen the spleen and stomach with traditional Chinese medicine. This is also the embodiment of the "holistic view" of Chinese medicine. In a word, "holistic view" and "syndrome differentiation and treatment" are unique characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine, which is beyond the reach of western medicine theory.
Chinese medicine fans have no basic common sense. Traditional Chinese medicine is actually the traditional medicine of Han nationality in China, the traditional medicine of ancient China, Mongolian medicine, Tibetan medicine, Miao medicine and so on. People in the west also have their own traditional medicine, but during the Renaissance, people have begun to transition from traditional medicine to modern medicine.
Our traditional medicine is not only a kind of technology, but also a kind of culture, because our traditional medicine is influenced by Yin and Yang, the five elements of heaven and man, and other Yin and Yang and Taoist thoughts. Has nothing to do with modern science. Some people don't even know what science is, and they regard Chinese medicine as science. Too many idiots stand on the moral high ground and accuse others in the name of patriotism and the maintenance of traditional culture.
If traditional medicine wants to continue to develop, there is only one way to distinguish the essence and dross with modern science. Tu Youyou has put this into practice with practical actions. There are dozens of drugs used to treat malaria in ancient prescriptions. She scientifically verified the mistakes of most prescriptions and the correctness of Artemisia annua in treating malaria, and extracted the real effective components from Artemisia annua and determined its chemical molecular formula: C15h2O5. Brain-dead Chinese medicine powder not only doesn't understand these things, but uses this example to deny western medicine and affirm Chinese medicine. It's really ignorant and fearless.
It is a problem of traditional medicine and modern medicine. Some people just add national feelings and ideology, and insist on creating a confrontation between China and the West.
In the impression of many people, Chinese medicine is an old man with a white beard, reaching out and feeling the pulse of every seriously ill or terminally ill patient, then shaking his head, saying a lot of Chinese medicine terms, then writing a list of medicines for gospel trials and grabbing back a big bag of medicines. The patient took it home to suffer, and the next day after drinking it, his face was much rosy and his energy came up. The serious and terminal diseases examined by the hospital were cured after drinking two lists! In fact, this is the unified intention of Chinese medicine and believing in Chinese medicine to see Chinese medicine patients! This fanatical job's tears are more childish than western medicine's hormone therapy and health care industry's chicken blood therapy! Real Chinese medicine can't cure diseases. They can only find out the root cause and source of the disease according to the symptoms of patients, and then teach patients to avoid the risk of deepening the disease. The real function of TCM is to guide and remind every healthy person to learn life care according to the four seasons, such as eating watermelon in summer and mutton in winter, to teach them to look at life and everything, to relax their mentality, to learn to be willing to give up, and to teach them to pay attention to their diet, including livestock, poultry, melons, fruits, whole grains and coarse grains in flour and rice. Red, yellow, black, white and blue are matched, and the five flavors of acid, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty are balanced. Guide them to work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Chinese medicine is a healthy steering wheel and navigation light for every China person who pursues the quality of life. Only by truly understanding the meaning of traditional Chinese medicine can we not get sick and get sick less. Of course, Chinese medicine also has a unique treatment. The treatment of traditional Chinese medicine covers a wide range, including face-to-face, tongue-to-mouth, hand-to-hand, consultation, pulse-taking, decoction, acupuncture, massage, scalding, fumigation, cupping, scraping and hot compress. The purpose of TCM treatment is to dredge and regulate water, drink, dampness and phlegm. Why can't modern Chinese medicine hospitals see the diseases and pains that ordinary people want to know? The main reason is that all traditional Chinese medicine hospitals now borrow medical instruments for testing, and doctors prescribe drugs in a unified way, which is the pain of misunderstanding Chinese medicine.
Four advantages of traditional Chinese medicine.
First, it is best for Chinese medicine to take credit for not treating diseases. Specializing in treating diseases that can be cured without treatment, such as the common cold and dysmenorrhea, Chinese medicine likes it best. If exposed, it is euphemistically called "preparing for a rainy day."
Second, Chinese medicine is the best at taking credit. The cancer patient took a dose of Chinese medicine after the operation. If it is cured, all the credit will go to Chinese medicine.
Third, Chinese medicine is the best at shirking responsibility. Cancer patients died after taking traditional Chinese medicine, and all the faults were attributed to western medicine. He added: Come to me early, no matter what cancer, several pairs of Chinese medicines are 100% good. No matter how rare it is, 51,000 Angong Niuhuang pills, after being eaten, are dead, and it is not the fault of Chinese medicine.
Fourth, Chinese medicine loves telling stories. Next door, Uncle Wang's second daughter-in-law's stepmother's grandson's brother-in-law's sister-in-law's third aunt's seventh aunt's cancer terminal hospital gave up treatment and went home to die. She took three doses of medicine prescribed by a magical doctor and miraculously lived 100 years old, but she couldn't die even if she wanted to.
The advantage of traditional Chinese medicine is that it can cure the root of the disease. Why are there so many patients with chronic diseases in society, such as diabetes, hypertension, liver disease, etc. , all evolved because of the use of western medicine to control the table and treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, and there is no doubt that this situation will never happen if it is treated by highly skilled Chinese medicine experts. On the other hand, spend less money: I think the country must attach great importance to Chinese medicine, but it is absolutely impossible to use the doctor's certificate to determine the level of medical skills. All high-skilled medical skills are beyond the scope of medical books. We should dig out and use the superb medical skills of truly talented and knowledgeable people, give full play to medical skills to patients, and let patients experience the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine. Let the patient take it orally. On the other hand, if there were no chronic diseases, the state would not have to pay for them, and the state would have saved countless funds. This is my opinion.
Talking about the Future Road of TCM
I think there are four reasons why Chinese medicine is in an awkward position.
First, the inheritance of Chinese medicine.
At present, there are many colleges and universities of Chinese medicine, but in fact, in my opinion, Chinese medicine has not got rid of the traditional mentoring education model in China. In colleges and universities of traditional Chinese medicine, although all students study Chinese medicine, only a few people can actually get the inheritance, because there are generally several kinds of graduate students of Chinese medicine. The best one is to learn kung fu from a well-known old Chinese medicine practitioner, and the rest are just like you.
Second, Chinese medicine is difficult to standardize.
Students who study western medicine can open a doctor after graduation and clinical qualification. Why? Because the standardization of western medicine is well done, blood tests and photographs are vivid, and all kinds of parameters represent what is abnormal in the body, and there are rules to follow. For general diseases, the judgment of attending doctors is similar to that of ordinary doctors, and so is medication.
Chinese medicine is not the case. The theory of traditional Chinese medicine is very mysterious and has not been verified so far. Five zang-organs and five elements ... this is a fatal point of Chinese medicine. Standardization? What's more, a really good Chinese medicine practitioner must learn from an old Chinese medicine practitioner for at least ten years unless he is particularly talented.
Third, Chinese medicine is mixed.
Related to the second point, it is difficult to change the status quo of Chinese medicine quickly, and the result is mixed. In my opinion, the Chinese medicine industry should realize its current predicament and strictly control the issuance of Chinese medicine doctor qualifications. If a qualified doctor is qualified, he will certainly add luster to Chinese medicine and create a good reputation.
Fourth, Chinese medicine will not protect itself.
Many patients turn to Chinese medicine because western medicine can't cure them. In this case, Chinese medicine should learn to refuse, rather than try to treat. Western medicine has been sentenced to death. Why do you have to go into this muddy water? The cure of Chinese medicine may be minimal, and the result of trying to treat it will only make the reputation of Chinese medicine worse. Doctors are kind-hearted, but for the future of the whole Chinese medicine industry, this kindness is better put aside. After all, western medicine can't save it?
To revitalize Chinese medicine, we must first admit the low status of Chinese medicine itself, and demand ourselves more strictly and steadily, so that we can slowly get out of the predicament and rebuild our glory!
Of course, there are also some expedient measures, such as acupuncture and massage in traditional Chinese medicine, which will be relatively faster. Then, we might as well take some acupuncture and massage Chinese medicine that have passed strict examination as spears to establish the reputation of Chinese medicine. These two directions are very popular in Japan at present and have been widely recognized as examples.
Therefore, there are external reasons for the current hacking of Chinese medicine, as well as the reasons of the Chinese medicine industry itself. There is no need to be too sad and angry, and there is no need to sulk. This is the present situation of Chinese medicine.
It's a long way to go in Xiu Yuan, and it's moving forward steadily.
