Why is the efficacy of TCM uncertain?
Why is the efficacy of TCM uncertain?
Please let go of your prejudice against Chinese medicine and open your eyes to see the real and tangible efficacy of the treatment that had been commonly used in the epidemic after the deep involvement of Chinese medicine!
This is a very serious issue, indeed.
Before answering, I made a point of looking at your personal space, and it's surprisingly full of topics related to medicine. From the rules of the headline, it would be understood that medicine is your point of interest, so I won't beat around the bush with my answer.
If you now have a certain disease, go to the country's top two Western medical specialties to see, so cattle specialties, it must be a set of more complete and unique diagnosis of this specialty disease, treatment programs, the patient must be a lot of patients, to see these are not very confident in the disease you have? But the actual data results, will make you doubt life, in the history of this specialty patient data, there will be a death rate, cure rate, efficiency, survival rate of the statistical table, high and low on the uncertainty, and even some patients have no effect. This is an objective fact, but can you say that the efficacy of Western medicine is uncertain? Of course not. Then the efficacy of Chinese medicine is a similar situation, and this result has nothing to do with Chinese medicine, Western medicine. It has to do with the fact that human understanding of life is still very limited, and that there are actually very few problems that medicine can really solve completely, and that even the best treatment programs may be ineffective due to individual differences.
Secondly, you go to the western hospital, why there is a flat number, expert number, top expert number, their registration fee is still different, different experts on your disease judgment may also be different, the treatment plan may also be different, the final effect may also be different, you will say that the efficacy of western medicine western medicine is uncertain? Make sense of it, the reasoning is so simple.
If you are genuinely trying to get knowledge and answers by asking questions, no offense; if it's a disguised attempt to blacken TCM, it's either stupid or bad. With all due respect.



It is not true to say that the efficacy of Chinese medicine is uncertain. As long as there are symptoms, Chinese medicine has treatment methods with stable and effective efficacy. Some Chinese medicine formulas have been proven to have stable efficacy after more than a thousand years of application.
Only so some people eat effective, some people eat the effect is not obvious, or ate this doctor's prescription has no effect, ate another person's good, this is not the Chinese medicine efficacy is not stable, but the Chinese medicine doctor's dialectic is not the same, so the use of different medicines, dosage is not the same, the effect will be different, this is not the Chinese medicine efficacy is not stable, but everyone's level is not the same, after all, they are not a god doctor.
Of course there are differences in the herbs, because the origin is different, wild and cultivated are not the same, so that there will also be differences, but it is not that the efficacy of Chinese medicine is unstable, but it is a problem of the herbs.
The efficacy of medicine is uncertain, whether it is Chinese or Western medicine.
The so-called uncertainty of healing is due to the relationship between internal and external causes, and because of the distance between the body of the Tao and the use of the Tao.
The story of the blind man feeling the elephant has been passed down for a long time, as a natural person, the control of the whole thing, can only stand in different angles to observe and seek conclusions, there is no way to transcend the outside, the overall situation. Medicine is even more so, more to the image of the elephant, Western medicine and Chinese medicine, focusing on the local view; Chinese medicine is often stronger than Western medicine, efforts to go to the overall consideration.
The advantage of the local view is to concentrate forces to fight the war of annihilation, the obvious effect is obvious, often ignoring the loss of the whole situation. The global view is that all roads lead to Rome, either near or far, is nothing more than a closed loop of birth and death. Chinese medicine is like this, different Chinese medicine, different programs, and ultimately the same way.
We should not doubt Chinese medicine, which has been passed down for thousands of years. There is a reason for its existence, even though there are some bad things in it, even though it is not satisfactory. If you don't believe in it, just don't believe in it. You don't have to force others, and you can't force others.
It is very hasty for the subject to conclude that the efficacy of Chinese medicine is uncertain just by virtue of the fact that he has consulted several different Chinese medicine practitioners and received different treatment results.

Do not say that rely on the diagnosis and treatment of Chinese medicine will have this situation, is by virtue of scientific and accurate laboratory tests and examinations for diagnosis and treatment of Western medicine also exists in this problem, the same patient to find a different Western medicine diagnosis and treatment, may be the final result of the treatment is not the same, otherwise there would not be a lot of patients transferred to hospitals, first of all in the diagnostic examination, there is a big difference, even if the Western medicine is considered to be the most scientific and quantitative testing methods still exist differences. Western medicine is considered the most scientific, the most quantitative test there are still differences.

It is a very clear and indisputable fact that when the diagnosis of a disease is the same, different doctors take different treatments and prescribe different medications or surgical procedures.
There is a big difference in the concept and method of treatment between Chinese medicine and western medicine, Chinese medicine does not need complex laboratory tests and examinations, they rely on the doctor's observation, so for the same disease, different Chinese medicine practitioners judge the cause of the disease is a little different, which leads to the root cause of the treatment results will be different between different doctors.

In terms of treatment, there is a greater difference between Chinese medicine practitioners. I once asked an experienced old Chinese medicine practitioner for advice, and he said that Chinese medicine treatment is just like a general commanding a war, and different generals adopt different ways, some may concentrate on the war of annihilation, while others will break down the various attacks, and some have the character of a person who likes to give strong medicine, while others like to treat slowly and gradually recover without bringing some more burdens to the the muscles some more burden. All these factors lead to different diagnosis and treatment methods of different doctors, and the final results will also be different.

The questioner obviously confused Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine practitioners are two concepts, these differences are due to the level of different Chinese medicine practitioners as well as differences in diagnosis and treatment habits in and produce, can not therefore say that the Chinese medicine is inaccurate efficacy, if for the same patient, to take the same prescription, the results of the treatment must be the same. This is also the reason why different doctors have different popularity and prestige, some doctors are called famous doctors, while some doctors are only quacks, this phenomenon is not only in the field of Chinese medicine and Western medicine also exists, and not only in the field of medicine, but also in other fields of practitioners of the quality of the same, the habits of the differences in the way of work brought about by the differences in the results of the work.

So such a conclusion proposed by the subject is clearly untenable.

Sunny ring, sunny facts, results ~ speak for themselves!
This proposition is a false proposition. Since ancient times, Chinese medicine has been emphasizing evidence-based treatment, as long as the dialectic is accurate, with the right prescription, the treatment of disease is as effective as floating drums! Numerous cases of famous doctors have proved that the efficacy of Chinese medicine is certain and effective! Nowadays, due to the development of Chinese medicine there are many problems, the overall decline in the level of physicians, some Chinese medicine practitioners may not be obvious prescription efficacy, but can not be biased to say that the efficacy of Chinese medicine is not certain. The above is for reference.
It is not that the efficacy of Chinese medicine does not work, it is that the standards of Chinese medicine practitioners vary, and Chinese medicine should not be dismissed outright just because of this.
The theories of Chinese medicine are not proven, there is no rigorous validation data for Chinese medicine, not to mention clinical trials, coupled with the blind-masked diagnosis of Chinese doctors, it is impossible for Chinese medicine to have a definite curative effect.
Who says it's not certain, it has to be right, it has to be medically sound!
