I am a TCM doctor and here is how I see this issue.

Compared with Western medicine, I think Chinese medicine is more humane, more cultured and more meaningful. It is also more interesting, and this is the main reason why I chose to do Chinese medicine, and why I chose to engage in the Chinese medicine industry.

Nishiyama emphasized that modern medicine is a triad of psychological and physiological, as well as biological models. However, in reality, the Western style tends to ignore the human psyche, and most of the time treats the human being as a machine. Especially nowadays, Western medical specialties are divided into very thin, more and more specialized.

For example, a PhD in Pentacology who might specialize in a small bone inside a piece of an ear is becoming an expert in that area.

So many problems, like dizziness, you go to an internist and he may say you have poor vascular circulation, impaired circulation.

When you go to a neurologist for a brain doctor, he may say you have a nerve problem. When you go to an orthopedic surgeon, the orthopedic surgeon will say you have a cervical spine problem.

Even dizziness, many times caused with the ears, that the Pentacarpal will tell you that this ear is much of a problem.

So when a disease that you can't get from one specialty, you have to see each specialty one by one. That's why sometimes you go through the whole specialty of the hospital for a single disease and you don't get to the bottom of the problem.

Specialties have the advantage of specialization, for specialties will study the problem more and more fine, but very often ignored the whole person is a whole, people and society is a whole, human psychology and physiology is a whole.

Chinese medicine emphasizes this aspect of wholeness, and it is very concerned about the relationship between man and nature, between man and man, and between man's body and his mind, all of which are very much emphasized. The strength of TCM lies in its holistic view.

Specialties will be drilled into a set of, go inside the corner and not see the whole body. As I said earlier, you go to see which section, he will even think, subjective subconscious, think you this problem is his section of the problem.

There are pros and cons to specialization. Chinese medicine has an advantage in terms of its holistic view of the whole situation, but it is not as good as Western medicine in terms of some minor issues.

So we need to see the advantages, and disadvantages, of both. One cannot blindly worship or reject a particular type of medicine or therapy.

How do you understand this statement that Western medicine fixes people as if they were machines, while Chinese medicine observes them as if they were the world?

Western medicine is the use of machines to examine the patient's body, and get the data to speak, say where you are sick. That is to say, the machine to repair repair, repair repair. And Chinese medicine is based on the theory of Chinese medicine for evidence-based treatment, Chinese medicine treatment of Western medicine has been diagnosed disease, Western medicine diagnosis and laboratory results only for reference, can not be bound for the name of the Western medicine disease. Therefore, Chinese and Western medicine are two theoretical systems, which have not yet been able to unite and converge. Therefore, at this stage, we must use the theories of Chinese medicine for evidence-based treatment, and must not easily use the diagnosis and theories of Western medicine to use Chinese medicine.

I just started to get hepatitis, I went up to the western doctor, the western doctor doctor said that the treatment is mainly to protect the liver, to cure the liver. I then prescribed liver-protecting drugs, lived for a period of time, not cured, a checkup, cirrhosis of the liver, I was very anxious. So I bought a few Chinese medicine books, go home and have time I read, know the western medicine is not good, but also serious. And what Chinese medicine says makes sense. Chinese medicine theory, although it is a liver disease, in the treatment of liver can not be treated alone, must be based on the four diagnostic examination of Chinese medicine and related internal organs, to give a comprehensive treatment, in order to cure.

Then I went up to the most famous Chinese medicine hospital to be cured, and after three or four years of treatment, I was finally cured.

In short, Chinese medicine to Western medicine diagnosed diseases, must be used in Chinese medicine reasoning, method, formula, medicine to treat, Western medicine diagnosis and laboratory results, anti-as a treatment reference. So that the West for the use of Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine together, will receive good results.

The meaning of this sentence is to talk about the difference in the way of thinking between Chinese and Western medicine.

1, Western medicine is line or point thinking.

Grab a point, pack a point, grab a line, pack a line, grab a leg, pack a leg, grab a head, pack a head. Its way of thinking is that what is visible is what I believe, eye to see is not reliable, then use the machine to see, one by one data on the right, and then look at the exceeding or not up to standard, and then judge whether there is a disease. Of course, into the go to the hospital, most of the time, do not give you to see the disease, this doctor is not qualified, is to be spanked, the bonus will be deducted.

Let's take a look at the video below, which very clearly describes the mechanical thinking of Western medicine: the human body is treated as a biochemical factory, with machines and equipment, managers, researchers, hygienists, etc. It's as simple as a factory, not a machine.

Treat all organs as if they were machine spare parts: when the spare parts don't work, one is to repair them and the other is to replace them. How to repair? The oil circuit (blood vessels) does not work, through the oil circuit, the host (heart) is weak, the frequency is not stable, plus pacemaker, plus stents. Air filter (nose) is broken, wear a mask, dust collector, etc., etc., is the human body as a machine to clean up, the only thing that can not be done is the circuit (nerve) problem, this is the problem.

Western medicine is based on anatomy. Western medicine is hung on"Cells, tissues, organs, systems."Four nails above the skewer, this skewer a skewer, skewer a skewer, how can not string a concentric circle! The sea of learning is endless and the feeling of endless also ha! See the picture below for details:

2. Chinese medicine's "hanging pots to help the world" = "family, country and world".

Chinese medicine (strictly speaking, ancient Chinese medicine; modern Chinese medicine is closer to Western medicine) is a holographic approach to healing guided by the idea of the unity of heaven and man, which is close to philosophy but also very much focused on methodology and technique. Picture first:

This is what ancient Chinese medicine practitioners needed to learn, and it contains the vast majority of Chinese culture.

The philosophical outlook of mainstream Chinese medicine, in China, has always been closely tied to the national philosophy. The national philosophy of China from 134 to 1900 B.C. has always been Confucianism. Chinese medicine, too, has always been guided by the traditional culture of "benevolence and benevolence". The five methods of Chinese medicine: Zhuyi, acupuncture, moxibustion and poison, and poison, which is Chinese medicine. Saints with the holy way to poison the world, the poison, is the meaning of treatment, saints with what the holy way? Taoism and tranquility, Confucianism: benevolence and righteousness, Buddhism: emptiness, Mohism: love and non-attack.

The Confucian Five Positions are the medicines that treat the roots of the five organs.: Benevolence nourishes the liver, righteousness nourishes the lungs, courtesy nourishes the heart, faith nourishes the spleen, and wisdom nourishes the kidneys. Warmth nourishes the gallbladder, Liang nourishes the stomach, frugality nourishes the large intestine, and Jean nourishes the skin.This benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, warmth, goodness, respect and thrift, is an individual self-improvement, sincerity and righteousness to cultivate one's body and family and rule the country and the world, the inner work of the outer hair. It is a good medicine, a medicine for the heart, and a medicine for the society. Zeng Guo-Tsuen went to the field as a big official, his brother Zeng Guo-Fan sent him a copy of "Huang Di Nei Jing".

Let's see, Chinese medicine is not very social!Hanging on to the world = Family, Country, World.The world, the world, the world.

3. The unity of heaven and man - a holographic view of the universe.

The thinking of Chinese medicine is not only about the family and the world, but also has a cosmic view. Look at the picture below:

If you know the art of Zhuyu, you know that Chinese medicine has a holographic cosmology. Not much to say about that.

4. Chinese medicine has the concept of equality of all beings. Human and animal common medical. Against the killing of life and health.

The doctors of ancient Chinese medicine gave treatment to people when they were sick and meditation to livestock and poultry when they were sick.

The "Great Physician Sincerity" inside: "Since ancient times, the famous sages to cure the disease, more life to help the emergency, although said that the cheap animals and noble people, to the love of life, human and animal, also, the loss of their own benefit, things with the same suffering, not to mention the people. If you kill life to seek life, go to life is farther away."

Ancient Chinese medicine practitioners respected all life and opposed the killing of living beings for the sake of survival - using living things as a guide for medicines and medicines. I once said: Chinese medicine is in the traditional culture of "benevolence" under the culture of benevolence and benevolence, some friends commented that I was talking nonsense. If you really know Chinese medicine, you will know that I have no false words.

Each walking on the ground to survive life (flying in the sky is better), are very difficult, if not necessary, I implore you not to hurt.

Dear friends, who really is not the food of anyone, born to kill ah, who is really noble to the oil to be full of it, why so arrogant and cruel treatment of other life ah, right?

To summarize, Western medicine treats people as machines, biochemical factories to look at, can be "precise" treatment, rapid solution to the patient's suffering, Chinese medicine treats people as the whole world and even the universe to look at: the universe is my heart, my heart is the universe. Chinese medicine treats both the symptoms and the root cause of the disease. The advantages and disadvantages are not evaluated.

I'll send a few final words to you:

Cultivate and nourish your roots, and set your own determination of the people.

External medicine is the deed and internal medicine is the mechanism.

Once the opportunity is fulfilled, the body medicine is self-generated.

Self-generation and self-help, the medicine is in its heart.

It is self-sufficient and self-sustainable.

Life is easy, easy and simple to get the nature, the nature is fixed and the life exists!

Western medicine cuts off the connection between the organs of the human body and treats human beings as machines. Chinese medicine emphasizes the connection between the organs and treats people as a complete system, for example, Chinese medicine people believe that heart fire will cause lung heat, resulting in lung disease, liver disease will cause spleen and stomach bad, are emphasized in the human body, the connection between the internal organs, the surface and the inside. So Chinese medicine treatment of stomach disease, sometimes to treat the liver, is the reason. Western medicine is mostly to see the symptoms to treat the symptoms, the individual organ research is very fine.

［It is a fact that [Western medicine treats man as a machine to be repaired]; it seems to be an exaggeration to say that [Chinese medicine treats man as a world to be observed]. It is perhaps more reasonable to say that [Chinese medicine treats man as a natural living being].

When the teeth of the minute wheel of a mechanical watch are worn out to the point that it cannot function properly, the repairer will usually replace it with an identical version of the minute wheel; if the hairspring is messed up due to a fall, the repairer may straighten it out or simply replace it with an identical one. Perhaps this is called watch repair?

Human organs in general, can not suddenly become incurable, that is because after taking too much Western medicine, not only people by the so-called side effects of Western medicine to get confused, but also lead to the original is a small problem of the organ because of the lack of use of the right drugs to become more serious up. As a result, western medicine practitioners have to remove part of the necrotic organ when there is no other alternative; and if the organ continues to be necrotic, then western medicine practitioners have no choice but to replace the organ.

For those who are sober-minded, let's analyze this: Is the principle of replacing human organs the same as that of replacing parts of a watch?

A real Chinese medicine practitioner knows that your liver has stasis of necrotic material after being struck, and will use medicines that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis to treat the injury. If the injury is too serious, the Chinese medicine practitioner will make a decisive conclusion: because the injury is too serious, there is no way that I can cure the injury. However, he will not think of "replacing the parts" for this reason. This is the attitude of Chinese medicine practitioners towards their patients in actual practice, an attitude of self-knowledge. It is because Chinese medicine practitioners of a certain degree of sophistication are well aware of the fact that [if the organs of a natural living body are replaced, it will become unnatural, and how long can an unnatural living body continue to survive]?

The complete necrosis of an organ is not just a matter of this organ, because the human body is a "mopping up" organism, it can be caused by the necrosis of this organ and lead to problems in other places as well, and you only replace this "part" without realizing that some or some of the "parts" are also involved and are in the process of degeneration or necrosis. You only replace this "part" without realizing that some or some other "parts" are also involved and are undergoing qualitative changes or necrosis. The [holistic view] of Chinese medicine can basically achieve "treating one but taking care of the whole", and it is impossible to see only "this one point".

Liver disease may cause low blood volume in the body, and TCM practitioners often treat liver disease while replenishing the blood at the same time. This is the treatment method of [treatment and supplementation] in the rationale of Chinese medicine, which is carried out at the same time. Of course, Western medicine also "replenishes blood", but it only directly imports other people's blood, rather than treating the unhealthy body organs that are causing the blood shortage. Therefore, Western medicine's [blood transfusion method] is precisely the method of adding lubricating oil or gasoline directly into a repair machine. "Adding" is not treatment, it is just "adding".

In addition, when replacing a human organ or cutting a part of a necrotic organ, cutting the flesh of the human body is also destroying the natural ecology of the human body. Such a process of cutting the skin and flesh is the process of causing injury to the human body.

A minor organ disease will not be cured, even if the replacement of organs is very skillful, but only in the "mechanical repair", and does not belong to the real treatment of disease.

For natural sciences like medicine, it is an obvious fact and basic logic that the older the more elementary. It's like a stick and a machine gun, a carriage and a car, a carrier pigeon and a cell phone. ..... Nowadays, there is still a large part of the Chinese people think that Chinese medicine is stronger than modern medicine, which shows that we still have a long way to go in my science education. The theory of Chinese medicine is obviously the ancient people in the world's knowledge of the premise of extremely low fantasy. It is surprising that some people think that the level of development of modern science has not yet reached the level of answers to Chinese medicine, as if a doctor of Tsinghua can not understand the babbling of a 1-year-old baby, because the doctor's level is low ......

This is a completely wrong viewpoint from a wrong perspective. A distinction should be made between "knowing" and "doing".

First of all, the "knowledge" of the human body is basically the same in both Western and Chinese medicine, only that Chinese medicine is always immersed in "knowledge" and discusses "knowledge" in terms of "knowledge". It is only that Chinese medicine is always immersed in "knowledge" and discusses "knowledge" in terms of "knowledge". Therefore, Chinese medicine goes from "human heart" to "human and heaven", that is, from the inside to the outside. Western medicine, on the other hand, goes from "man and god" to "human body", i.e., from the outside to the inside of the in-depth study.

Secondly, from the perspective of "line", Chinese medicine adopts the "look, smell, ask and treat" approach, while Western medicine follows the "structure, organ, organization, molecule" approach to disposal.

Finally, Chinese medicine focuses on health maintenance, while Western medicine focuses on curing diseases! It doesn't matter if they are good or bad, right or wrong, they have different perspectives and different roles.

Western medicine is a byproduct of the mass industrial products that followed the industrial revolution! Of course it has to fix people as machines! Chinese medicine is based on the philosophical thinking of the Chinese ancestors on the understanding of heaven and earth, life and death, and the extension of the rigorous and complex medical system! Therefore, some of the Western medicine treatment program method Chinese medicine can be used, Chinese medicine treatment method program, Western medicine, not to mention the use, simply can not understand! The gap is too big!

No matter how advanced the diagnostic equipment of Western medicine, but for our flesh and blood body it is a cold tool only, and our body is a spiritual change, is connected with nature and the universe, and the technology of Chinese medicine is precisely the use of people and society, the environment, and so on, the world's observation, so that the Chinese medicine can be people as the world to observe, to put it bluntly, the Western medical science is only to treat the surface not to treat the root cause, and Chinese medicine is to treat the symptoms and root cause. is to treat both the symptoms and the root cause

Although it is said that Western medicine is to treat people as machines to repair, but Western medicine in the treatment of disease specific treatment, or dialectical, such as the treatment of disease always have to comprehensively consider what drugs to be used, to consider the toxic side effects of drugs, but also to consider is the disease on the person's harm, or the drug's side effects on the person's harm, unlike traditional Chinese medicine only want to think of how to cure the disease, but do not take into account the drug's side effects, no matter how much the drug's side effects, as long as the drug does not 'die' at that time, that there is no poison, and so long as the drug is not 'dead', it is considered that there is no poison. No matter what the toxic side effects of the medicine are, as long as the medicine does not kill the person at that time, the medicine is considered not toxic.
