According to the physiological and pathological system theory of traditional Chinese medicine,

On the whole, Chinese medicine and western medicine belong to the contradictory and unified relationship at different levels, that is, their research levels are not the same. Chinese medicine can integrate western medicine within its own theoretical framework, but western medicine can only be a supplement to Chinese medicine, not a substitute for Chinese medicine, because Chinese medicine is at a higher level than western medicine!

The object of western medicine research is only the human body. That is to say, Western medicine does not go beyond the specific vision of the human body whether it studies the physiology, pathology or pharmacology of the human body from the macro perspective of tissues, organs or systems, or from the micro perspective of cell molecules or quantum genes. Although with the help of modern science, the development of western medicine is good, but people do not live in a vacuum, but the human body adapts to the environment in its own way and fights against disease and evil. For example, in what physiological environment do people get sick easily? The author does not rule out that western medicine can also screen out a part through a series of special equipment, but more often, these equipment can't be detected. The improved Chinese medicine, such as using the ways and methods provided by the physiological and pathological system of Chinese medicine, may be able to judge accurately without any equipment. So, what are these advantages of Chinese medicine mainly based on?

The research object of traditional Chinese medicine is not only the human body, but also the comprehensive evaluation of the human body in its living environment, that is, the corresponding relationship between man and nature, and how to achieve "harmony between man and nature". Therefore, the theoretical level of Chinese medicine is better than that of western medicine.
