It is because I don't understand the characteristics of Chinese medicine that I believe that there is no toxic side effect, so this situation appears in large numbers. This situation is more common in the elderly; What does this mean? This shows that the use of Chinese medicine must be guided by the theory of Chinese medicine. The serious consequences of using or misusing Chinese medicine in the west are not a problem of Chinese medicine, but a problem of guiding ideology. Western medicine also has toxic and side effects, but no one jumps out to ban it, because we know it has toxic and side effects, so I am here to tell you that Chinese medicine has toxic and side effects, and if it is not treated according to the theory of Chinese medicine, it may have serious adverse consequences. It is wrong to blame TCM for the serious adverse consequences caused by the temptation or false propaganda of TCM providers.
Speaking of syndrome differentiation, I think it involves the core of TCM diagnosis. The diagnosis and syndrome differentiation of traditional Chinese medicine is to understand the pathogenesis of current diseases. What is pathogenesis? The word "machine" in ancient Chinese refers to a part of a crossbow, which is equivalent to a trigger. By extension, it is a decisive factor in the occurrence and prognosis of diseases. Therefore, syndrome differentiation is the key to discover the occurrence and result of diseases, which is no different from western medicine, but the thinking method and mode are different. Moreover, because the diagnosis and treatment of diseases in TCM is based on onion skin, the concept of TCM diagnosis can be completely clarified by combining the traditional knowledge of astronomy, geography and meteorology in China with the dialectical thinking mode of unity and integrity in nature.
For example, a middle-aged person has a disease. His birth date (very important) can provide us with the most basic information in his life, because this person will be pregnant for 280 days after birth, which is the same as running ten cycles in 28 nights on Sunday, so the nature of his birth is related to the affirmation of his birth date, and the innate nature provides the basic information of life. To a certain extent, it determines the strength of the function of the corresponding viscera and what diseases the viscera are prone to. After birth, nutrients begin to interact with nature. If his personality is seriously biased. Obviously, according to the knowledge of astronomy, geography and meteorology, the corresponding visceral diseases will occur at a certain place or under a certain meteorological condition on a certain day of a certain year. If the doctor is highly accomplished, he can also calculate the cause according to his partner, children, colleagues and partners. Because people's nature and types are different, there is also a saying of yin and yang and five elements.
