What are some of the diseases that Chinese medicine can't cure but Western medicine (modern medicine) is very effective?
There's an ocean of them, and all microbe (except viruses) related diseases are basically the domain of Western medicine, tuberculosis, schistosomiasis, Helicobacter pylori. There are also those related to precision equipment, organ replacement, myocardial infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, dialysis for kidney disease and so on. There are also and immune-related, rabies, tetanus, etc. can be cured without the onset of Chinese medicine is simply no solution.
I have not heard of Chinese medicine and can not cure the disease, only know that Western medicine has too many diseases can not be cured, but Western medicine has the benefits of Western medicine, there is a lot of need for Western medicine to control, because although the Chinese medicine is powerful but there are many drawbacks to the Chinese medicine do not know enough, can not be used, Chinese medicine is to look at the effect of the slow, in many cases in fact, is not slow, for example, such as the two cancer patients, the same age and the same condition, a go to a Western medicine A Chinese medicine, Western medicine used to go to the first to give you three days to check the whole body and then determine the disease, and the other through the pulse observation and questioning with two hours to determine the disease, and then began treatment, Western medicine through two months of surgery and chemotherapy people were fine, a lot of thinning, the effect is obvious, because the knife to cut you, with a needle to stab you, you feel the body changes, but the disease is not good, temporary control, but your body is getting worse and worse. But your body is getting worse and worse, the other ate Chinese medicine for three months without significant improvement, the body is still the same, just the body did not change, not be cut by the knife and did not be injected with fluids, but the tumor is obviously smaller than before, you say in the end which is fast? Which one is faster or slower?
Chinese medicine and Western medicine have their own strengths and weaknesses, from diagnostic methods to drug treatments.Chinese medicine has the advantage of treating chronic diseases (especially physiological chronic diseases), while some acute diseases are often beyond its reach, while Western medicine has the advantage of treating acute diseases and diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms that have not yet developed resistance to drugs, but almost all chronic diseases are beyond its reach.
Antibiotics in western medicines are mainly derived directly or indirectly from microorganisms, thus making it very easy for pathogenic microorganisms to develop resistance, whereas Chinese herbs are derived from plants and animals, which are physiologically very different from pathogenic microorganisms, and thus are not prone to develop microbial resistance. The tens of thousands of deaths in the United States each year due to resistance to existing Western medicines is an excellent example of lessons learned!
A number of Western medicines have significant side effects, especially on the kidneys, whereas the side effects of Chinese medicines are usually minimal, and the scope of application and contraindications of all types of commonly used Chinese medicines are well defined! It's not that the side effects are not clear as some people claim!
With the rapid development of Chinese medicine active ingredient extraction technology and Chinese medicine made of medicine, the convenience of Chinese medicine is being compared with Western medicine, Chinese and Western medicine have an equal share of the development trend! Artemisinin is an active ingredient extracted from traditional Chinese medicine and has been highly recognized internationally with the Nobel Prize!
Therefore, a combination of Chinese and Western medicine (not necessarily at the same time) and flexible application according to different subjects and different pathological stages is the scientific attitude!
Comparing Chinese medicine and Western medicine, each of them needs to develop and each of them has its own inadequacies. Take the treatment of fever as an example, Western medicine believes that fever needs to be cooled down, so it advocates ice packs, fever reduction and anti-inflammatory. We should know that fever is the most effective way for the human body to eliminate the invasion of foreign organisms, although the temporary effect of this set of Western medicine is good, but it suppresses the body's ability to fight disease, giving the virus bacteria a chance to take a breather, so that it is not cured for many days, and some of them are also transferred to other complications. Of course, the use of vaccines and antibiotics in Western medicine to solve a lot of medical problems this point is certain. But it is not enough, there are still a lot of difficult problems to be solved, relying on Western medicine alone is not enough. But also rely on natural medicine, natural medicine can solve all the difficult problems. As long as we can change our point of view and not always hold the pig's head meat to gnaw, there must be a solution. Like high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, etc. using the principles of natural medicine can be successfully resolved. Hey, who can believe me.
Simply put, Chinese medicine believes that people can not live without the kidneys, gas, blood, because they are three strong, in order to make the five organs and six organs and even the human organism normal functioning, people can live a long and healthy life. And Western medicine even the minimum of kidney deficiency, gas deficiency, blood deficiency can not check out, what to talk about treatment! Look at the problem to one for two, of course, the need for surgery, such as: fractures, hemorrhage and so on or to rely on Western medicine.
At present, Western medicine in the diagnosis and treatment can basically be said to be the mainstream, most of the diseases of Western medicine basically have a more complete clinical guidelines, or can say that all the diseases of Western medicine are faster than Chinese medicine, or obvious, such as respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, digestive diseases, urinary system diseases, immunity, blood and so on. However, many guidelines and even textbooks have clearly written about the complementary treatment options of TCM. Experts in various specialties have also recognized TCM, for example, Academician Zhong Nanshan, a great god in the fight against SARS, clearly supported TCM, and the first prescription issued by the Ministry of Health for the prevention of SARS in that year was a Chinese medicine prescription, not a SARS vaccine. Another example is the treatment of the sequelae of cerebral infarction, Western rehabilitation can not be separated from the Chinese medicine of acupuncture and physiotherapy, that is clearly much stronger than Western medicine. Therefore, we cannot generalize and deny Chinese medicine, nor can we mythologize Chinese medicine.
Can definitely tell you, there is no Chinese medicine can not cure the disease, but the Chinese medicine effect is slow, the emergency is not very direct, can not be like the Western medicine in general very quickly to see the effect of the delay in the best time to miss the treatment, which finally did not take the treatment can not be. On the contrary, many diseases are Chinese medicine can be cured well, Western medicine is indeed unable to do anything to end up living people to die a lot of treatment.
