I'm over 50, I believe in both Chinese and Western, and for us ordinary people Chinese medicine is still the main thing. West has its good points, and the combination of East and West is perfect.

I am 60 years old and firmly believe that Chinese and Western medicine have their own strengths and that a combination of Chinese and Western medicine is the best option.

My friends and myself have experienced many instances where Chinese medicine or a combination of Chinese and Western medicine works better.

Mr. Xing's CT examination revealed a shadow in his lungs, and the Western medicine doctor had to perform open-heart surgery to remove 1 lobe of his lungs. Pathologic testing was then done to determine the follow-up treatment plan. After a comparative assessment, he chose Chinese medicine treatment. Now more than 10 years have passed, Mr. Xing is in good health and the shadowed area has shrunk instead of enlarged.

I personally from more than 30 years ago, every year in winter and spring will occur dry cough, year after year to find Western medical treatment, ran through the large and small hospitals, more than 20 years have not been cured, Mr. Xing introduced the National Medical Hall of Liu Guiying director, three weeks cured, the next year recurrence, and then served two weeks of herbal medicine, three years have passed, and no recurrence.

Zhang Bin, deputy director of Tianjin Cancer Hospital, utilizes a combination of Chinese and Western medicine to treat breast cancer patients, increasing the speed of postoperative recovery by about 50%. In China, a general mastectomy requires about 7 days of hospitalization after surgery, but Zhang Bin's patients only need to be hospitalized for 3 to 4 days.

The facts show that Chinese medicine does work, and in many cases it beats Western medicine.

Most of the TCM hacks are jetsetters who know neither TCM nor Western medicine.

Both Western and Chinese medicine require extensive experience and enlightenment to become good doctors. There are good doctors and quacks in both Western and Chinese medicine.

Both Chinese and Western medicine require three elements to cure a disease; medical skill (medicine), medicine, and medical equipment organically combined to work together.

Many spammers confuse the relationship between medical equipment and medicine, describing modern medical equipment as Western medical methods, which is pure ignorance. Medical equipment belongs to neither Chinese medicine nor Western medicine, it is another category.

I'm 31 this year and rightfully believe in TCM.

Grandfather is an old Chinese medicine, in that lack of medicine in the era, he took the initiative to give up the county work, stay in the remote mountains, around more than ten kilometers on his a doctor, over the decades he crossed the mountains to heal countless people. This is the reason why I first trusted Chinese medicine.

Again, my personal experience:

In 16 years, I got temporomandibular arthritis, the pain for more than a month, all kinds of clinics and pharmacies countless times, the same pain, no sign of improvement. Finally went to the city center hospital (three a), spent several hundred, still no effect, quacks even yelled at me to pull a tooth.

Then I was introduced by a friend to an old Chinese medicine practitioner and had acupuncture, and the pain subsided that day and was all better the next day.

There is another thing, the last two years found more and more energy can not, often back pain, hair also white, go to the hospital Western medicine examination, the doctor did not check just listen to me say the symptoms that I am a kidney deficiency, let me find an old Chinese medicine to catch a couple of medicines to eat.

Still went to that old herbalist, took a few pills, and sure enough, my back didn't get sore and my back didn't hurt anymore, and my wife said my new hair growth was black on the roots.

In fact, the black door of Chinese medicine is to say that Chinese medicine is metaphysics, and one cannot figure out what the ingredients are.

In my opinion, Chinese medicine is more like an empirical science, and it is only after thousands of years of experience that Chinese medicine has come into being. For example, we know that hemostatic herb can stop bleeding, but Chinese medicine practitioners just do not know what ingredients work in it, can you say that hemostatic herb is useless?

I am in my sixties this year, and to be honest, I don't believe in Chinese medicine at all. However, it must be made clear that Chinese medicine does not mean Chinese medicine, and the two should not be confused. I remember that more than 20 years ago, when I drove a cab and pulled a Japanese student from the Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I asked him, "Did you come to China to study Chinese medicine?" and he replied, "We don't study Chinese medicine, but only the pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine. The answer was "We do not study Chinese medicine, we only study the pharmacology of Chinese medicines". In fact, there are a lot of things in Chinese medicine in the early years of the Western countries also have, such as pulse, bloodletting treatment, etc., just that people have made progress we are still in the same place, the name of inheritance of tradition, carry forward. In short, some things in Chinese medicine are scientific and cannot be summarily dismissed, but there are too many dregs.

The theory of Chinese medicine is profound and profound, and many people do not understand Chinese medicine without thinking about their words and making comments. How many people can be quiet and read in this impatient society? And how many people have seriously read "Huang Di Nei Jing", "Typhoid Fever", and who has seriously read the "Qi Jing eight vein examination", "near the lake pulse".

Recognizing TCM is not about a few herbs and a few pills. Nor can everyone learn the eight-steel dialectic of Chinese medicine.

Understanding Chinese medicine is the same as understanding the universe and nature, and the rigorous diagnostics and pharmacology of Chinese medicine are not comparable to those of Western medicine.

Chinese medicine focuses on systemic therapies and Western medicine focuses on regional treatments.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) links the human organism with climate, time, space and nature, making full use of the combination of man and nature to regulate the body.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) applies the combination of the five internal organs, the operation of the tendons and veins, and the relationship between emotions and wills, and gives a treatment plan by considering the physical factors and outward manifestations from different perspectives.

Thousands of years of traditional culture, these years really let some unscrupulous people sidelined, distorted, boycotted.

It is not a question of believing in Chinese medicine or not, it is a time for the country to rescue Chinese medicine. Especially since the reform and opening up, our development has entered a fast pace and the development of Chinese medicine has been seriously hampered.

I hope that everyone will love Chinese medicine and develop it. It is our excellent traditional culture that will gain a foothold in the world in the future.

Believing in Chinese medicine has nothing to do with age; there is a process of realization.

I am studying Western medicine, and when I was in school, I was in the Western medicine and Chinese medicine classes together. In addition to the systematic study of Western medicine, I also had to complete a theoretical course on Chinese medicine. Although I have not been in the clinic for many years, I do not deny the role of Chinese medicine in practice. The combination of Chinese and Western medicine is also a very effective means of clinical treatment.

Especially in community-based primary hospitals, the clinical application of combined Chinese and Western medicines is the most numerous and widespread, and often leads to satisfactory treatment results. The diagnostic means of Chinese medicine and the application of Chinese medicine are seen as simple but very effective.

Whether during the SARS outbreak or the new crown epidemic that occurred last year, the application of Chinese medicine was very extensive and the therapeutic effects were evident to all, as well as being affordable, effective and popular among the people.

In the early 1990s, the programme for the development of China's health services was based on the following principles: developing health care, improving people's health, focusing on prevention, relying on scientific and technological progress, mobilizing the participation of the whole society, and coordinating the development of Chinese and Western medicine. This laid down the policy of joint development of Chinese and Western medicine in China's health sector.

So it's right to believe in TCM!

Can Chinese medicine cure all diseases and bring the dead back to life? I have never believed in it. But as a patient, I have seen the surgery and internal medicine of Chinese medicine, and I have personally experienced the miraculous curative effects of Chinese medicine, so how can you make me not believe in real Chinese medicine?

Nine out of ten people have probably never seen the surgery of Chinese medicine, right? My earliest contact with Chinese medicine began with surgery. When I was a child, I had a big poisonous sore on my calf, which hurt like hell. The toxicity flared up and the fever reached 40 degrees.

My father took special leave to take me to the hospital. The surgeon examined me and said that he would have to make an incision, let out the poisonous blood, then put medicine on it and sew it up. Seven days of not being able to get off the ground would cure it.

When my father heard this, he took me to his old classmate without saying a word. Father's classmate is the surgeon of Chinese medicine, but he himself looks very unkempt, not at all like a doctor, and his family does not have the appearance of a hospital.

When he saw my father coming, he happily chatted with his old classmates while taking a look at my leg, and directly put a piece of poisonous ointment on it, saying while wrapping the gauze that there was no need to worry, and that it would be wrapped up in three days.

When my father took me there the next day, he uncovered the poultice and there was a big puddle of thick blood inside. And the next scene really shocked me.

I saw the doctor tear off a piece of toilet paper, spit on it, and then rubbed it with his hand to form a small twist of black and gray paper. Then, he put this wet twist of paper into a small bottle full of red powder, and the twist of paper was immediately covered with the powder.

The doctor took this twist of medicine made of saliva and shoved it directly into the wound on my leg, then wrapped it with a bandage. He hadn't sterilized the whole thing either, and this Chinese doctor was indeed too sloppy.

The doctor took out a small glass bottle, poured some red powder into it, and said to my father, "That's what old classmates are for, so I'll let you bring it home. Tomorrow, you don't have to come here again, you change his medicine like this, and then come back if you don't feel well.

And with that, we were dismissed by him. When we got home, the powder worked, it was exceptionally cool, and the wound was noticeably less painful. Later, after two more changes of medicine, the wound really did heal completely.

According to my father, the doctor is best at otitis media and hemorrhoids, like my small illnesses, people do not take it seriously. This is the magic of Chinese medicine, I kind of understand.

A few years ago, in early winter, he suddenly felt unable to eat and was nauseated by everything he looked at, especially the smell of onion chokes, which made him feel very greasy. So, he went to the hospital for a checkup.

After listening to my description, the doctor first asked me to do an ultrasound of my stomach. After that, the doctor took the film and looked at it for half a day and said to me, "There is no problem with your stomach. Let's do it this way, I will refer you to a Chinese medicine practitioner.

In this way, I was sent to the Chinese medicine department by the Western medicine doctor. The doctor first asked me about my condition and then took my pulse. The doctor concluded that I was suffering from "disharmony between the liver and the stomach" and then prescribed medicine.

I took the decoction and went home and drank a bag every morning and evening. To be honest, the medicine was really bitter, really bitter. But after three days, the nausea really decreased significantly, and I was completely cured after five days of taking the medicine.

Who knew that the nausea would return in the early winter of the following year? I wanted to go to the hospital for another checkup, so I found last year's medical record book, and suddenly I saw that there was last year's prescription in it.

On a whim, I ran to the drugstore myself, grabbed the prescription, had the shopkeeper decoct it, and took it home.

This time I only grabbed five days worth of medicine. After three days of taking the medicine at home, the symptoms disappeared again. Five days later, I was completely cured, and I have never suffered from this disease again. Shouldn't I thank the Chinese medicine practitioner here?

As a result, there is a special belief in Chinese medicine. However, I know that Chinese medicine is not perfect and it has both strengths and weaknesses. Similarly, Western medicine is not perfect either, and it cannot cure all diseases.

What is even stranger is that many Chinese medicine practitioners recognize the merits of Western medicine, thinking that it is best to first consult Western medicine to reduce fever and inflammation first.

Many Western medical practitioners, on the other hand, are very much against Chinese medicine, and they even want to beat Chinese medicine to death with a stick. Let us tell you why this is so.

I am over 60 years old. I believe in Chinese medicine because my daughter once had diarrhea when she was a child, and she went to three hospitals and stayed in each hospital for a week, taking medicines, injections and infusions, all of which failed to cure her. Then she went to a Chinese medicine hospital and was prescribed a pair of herbal medicines which she boiled in water and drank once and she got well.

I am an old man, two years ago, cerebral hemorrhage, critical illness, I chose Western medicine craniotomy, now has recovered health. In recent years, a little activity, that is, sweating a lot, I chose Chinese medicine, follow the doctor's advice every day to drink water with American ginseng, greatly improved. Chinese and Western medicines have their own strengths and should not exclude each other, we should choose the type of medicine according to our condition.

This time, the treatment of the new coronavirus was based on Western medicine, and Chinese medicine also played an important and convincing role.

There is no contradiction in appreciating the scientific treatments of Western medicine and valuing the traditional essence of Chinese medicine as magical.

I'm glad to answer your question: people must pay attention to the body in middle age, but also cool Chinese medicine, because there is no major diseases with Chinese medicine, people in the eighties, some people are sick to buy a chicken is enough to cure the money, in the nineties, some people are sick, you have to buy a real pig in order to cure the disease, and now the people have a disease to the car side of the whole sale, do not see the cure for the patient.

In the past, there is a disease treatment from the hospital back, with a paper package of some herbs to boil some soup to drink the disease is well, and now see the doctor's money spent on mechanical equipment, hair medicine do not have to thousands of thousands of people, not move to change this for that and the model is difficult to line pieces are difficult to match.

This means that we still need to promote Chinese medicine, China is not a lack of herbal medicine, only Chinese medicine is from the root of the cure, relatively speaking, it is better to be slower, but will not recur, now to a good doctor can not say that there are complications, a disease is not a good cure with complications more difficult to yo, the money is rooted in the go, is not a bad Western medicine, and how to say that people's place of the sea of people.
