Hi everyone, I'm Morningside Little Lotus and I'm here to answer this question.

Do you think Chinese medicine is useful? Why do some people dismiss Chinese medicine?

Chinese medicine is useful, otherwise it would not have stretched over millions of years to bless the land of China; Chinese medicine is not omnipotent, or Chinese medicine also has medical malpractice, or Chinese medicine also has peer rivals, such as Western medicine, so some people will deny Chinese medicine.

Chinese medicine is the study of human physiology and pathology, disease diagnosis and prevention and regimen rehabilitation of a medical science, so far there are thousands of years of history. Chinese medicine is "the main body of the theory and practical experience of Chinese medicine, the study of human life activities in medicine, health and disease transformation law and its prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and health care of the comprehensive science". Chinese medicine belongs to the study of human physiology, pathology, pharmacology and its relationship with the natural environment from a dynamic and holistic point of view under the guidance of the theory of yin and yang and the five elements, and seeks for the most effective way to prevent and treat diseases. Any kind of theory, if it does not have the characteristics of the overall concept, it will not be the full meaning of Chinese medicine, with a holistic concept if it does not have a dynamic nature, then, this theory has not yet fully grasp the true meaning of Chinese medicine. The "holistic concept" and the "diagnosis and treatment" are the basic characteristics of Chinese medicine theory, but the existing Chinese medicine, in addition to the "Physiology and Pathology Systematics of Chinese Medicine", almost no one has been able to achieve such a full range of highlighting the "holistic concept" and "diagnosis and treatment", and the "overall concept" and "diagnosis and treatment". "and" identification and treatment "features, not only can reveal the internal organs of the yin and yang qi laws, communication and heaven and earth yin and yang qi laws, but also can reveal the disease of the evidence of the law of the theoretical system. For example, Chinese medicine from the perspective of the overall concept of the formation of "righteousness and evil is the basic contradiction between the composition of the disease" concept, which should be the theoretical basis for Chinese medicine to determine the name of the disease. However, because it has almost lost the guiding role and value of the theory of yin and yang and the five elements, it is inevitable that it is unable to distinguish the difference and connection between the "cause of disease" and the "cause of evidence", and it realizes that "disease" and "evidence" are the basic contradictions that constitute the disease. Realizing that "disease" and "evidence" are the basic elements of disease, they confuse "cause of disease" and "cause of evidence", and even end up confusing the concepts of disease and illness, which are in different logical categories. However, yin and yang and the five elements belong to the category of ancient Chinese philosophy, and mixing philosophy and medicine makes some people unconvinced, and also becomes the handle of those who question its scientific nature.

Chinese medicine works:

First, Chinese medicine has been protecting the Chinese nation for millions of years, and there have been many miraculous doctors hanging around in history.

If Chinese medicine was useless, then it would not have existed for so many years, and the eyes of the masses are discerning.

Secondly, Chinese medicine comes from practice, so it is essentially in the realm of experimental science.

For example, the Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, such as various medical prescriptions, are not the conclusions obtained with a pat on the head, but precisely the true knowledge that comes out of repeated practice.

Thirdly, one side of the soil raises one side of the people, Chinese medicine is our Chinese people native produced medical skills, herbs, prescriptions, the amount of medicine are based on our Chinese people to formulate. In this sense, Chinese medicine is more practically significant.

Fourth, the Chinese medicine of looking and sniffing corresponds to the Western medicine is also common, is Western medicine is science, Chinese medicine is all superstition?In ancient times, Western medicine and Chinese medicine alike had superstitious elements. This was the limitation of the times, and instead of being able to look at things from a modern perspective, Chinese medicine needed to be modernized, and this was the most important thing.

Fifth, Chinese medicine has a large number of practical cases that need to be organized by professionals.

There are many other examples, which I am not going to cite here. We often hear of patients who were sentenced to death by Western medical practitioners being cured by Chinese medicine practitioners, which is the value of Chinese medicine practitioners, and we should not totally reject a long-standing thing, especially if we do not understand it. Neither should we blindly follow a foreign thing, as if the original monk is good at reading scriptures, especially if we do not understand him. For example, if you have cancer, you take a few steps: surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and repeat until the person is gone.

So why do a lot of people criticize Chinese medicine?

I. Under any famous doctor, there are wronged souls who have succumbed to death;

This is an indisputable fact because every master has a long way to go before he becomes a master. Therefore, no matter whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine, there will be misdiagnosis and mistreatment, not to mention that quite a number of doctors are not masters, and conflicts between doctors and patients have existed since ancient times;

Secondly, in many cases, Chinese medicine does not have the immediate effect of Western medicine, because Chinese medicine is only qualitative, not quantitative, especially in pharmacology, not pure enough.

Third, Chinese medicine generally pretends to be mysterious, does not show clinical symptoms, the study of pharmacology is also relatively lacking, exaggerating the efficacy, while covering up the side effects. For example, opium, Western medicine will be purified, and know exactly what is working, while Chinese medicine will not be too precise, which is limited by the scientific and technological conditions at that time.

Fourth, the lack of pioneering spirit of Chinese medicine practitioners, always drilling the old piles of paper, quoting the classics, rather than the cognition of ancient people with modern scientific and technological means to re-understand and study, but instead of sticking to the old ways, deceiving the patient, pretending to be mysterious, and impede the insertion of Chinese medicine on the wings of science.

Fifthly, Chinese medicine practitioners, who only see their own merits but not their own shortcomings, do not think of making progress but think that they can cure all diseases.

Sixth, they have a half-understanding of both Chinese medicine and Western medicine, resulting in Chinese medicine being different and Western medicine being unlike it, but instead, they have been revitalized and the patients have been deceived. There is no scientific approach to ancient Chinese medicine.

Seventh, in the name of Chinese medicine, in fact, in being driven by interests, a variety of so-called health care products, boasting the efficacy, to tarnish the reputation of Chinese medicine.

There are many other problems with Chinese medicine, but again, these problems do not exist only in Chinese medicine; some Western medical practitioners are not exempted from them either, so we will not expand on them here.I would like to summarize one of the problems: the first practitioners of Chinese medicine were tribal leaders like Shen Nong and Dayu, who were high in rank and ability, so they achieved great results, and after the successive generations, all kinds of people were high in rank but only high in reading, and only in the leisure time of the scholars were they able to research on some pharmacology, so in general, the quality of the practitioners of Chinese medicine has slowly declined. This is the root cause of the backwardness of Chinese medicine: the shortage of talents.If we can put outstanding talents into the cause of Chinese medicine, carry out scientific inheritance and development, and combine them with the research results of Western medicine, so as to make our Chinese medicine scientific, standardized and practical in terms of qualitative and quantitative, I think our "Chinese medicine" (Chinese medicine which has inherited all the best medical technology in the world) will surely be rejuvenated in the most beautiful way. This is an advantage that no other country can match. We look forward to more talented people to enter the medical profession, down-to-earth, so that our country's medical care leading the world, as in ancient times, swinging ahead, do contemporary "Shennong". Instead of letting the people who make up the mystery and do not pretend to understand to destroy the reputation of medicine and harm the interests of the people.

A family talk, more biased, pay tribute to all the real white angels, you are a most beautiful scenery on earth. Welcome to more exchanges and comments, original is not easy, if you agree with my point of view, please pay attention to, forwarding, praise, comment, thank you!

The reason why the people deny Chinese medicine is that they cannot see really good Chinese medicine practitioners and cannot eat really good Chinese medicine, right?

Chinese medicine has lasted for thousands of years, so it must be useful. I have personal experience of this myself.

In the past, Chinese medicine as a superstition, only believe in Western medicine and Western medicine, because there is urinary frequency of acute attacks of disease, go to see a Western doctor, made two surgeries, urinary frequency is not only not good, more frequent attacks, the body is getting worse and worse.

Later, I switched to Chinese medicine, and with Chinese medicine treatment, the problem of frequent urination was solved, and my health was much better than before. From having colds two or three times a month, I now take cold medicine only once a year and a half.

The reason why some people are opposed to Chinese medicine is that Chinese medicine is mainly based on experience, Chinese medicine theory for modern people, can not simply use the physical, chemical knowledge to explain, but has its own set of theoretical system, and the theory is more abstract. Theories are more abstract. Chinese medicine is mostly one-person-one-party, which requires a higher level of practical ability.

Chinese medicine is long on treating the future, and is not good at surgery for people who are terminally ill.

Opponents of Chinese medicine are interested in the principles and systems based primarily on Western medicine, disregarding the capabilities of Chinese medicine and the efficacy of Chinese herbs.

Some of the existing health care policies are unfavorable to Chinese medicine practitioners, and the over-regulation of Chinese medicine has also restricted the development of Chinese medicine. In comparison, Western medicine is more profitable.

As Chinese people, we are very lucky to have Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, especially when the new crown ravaged the country and western medicine and western medicine were at their wits' end, Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine gave countermeasures and ways to mitigate the mortality rate, Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine deserve a lot of credit!!!!

Chinese medicine is the national treasure of the Chinese nation, and it is the summary of the Chinese people's practical experience through thousands of years. Chinese medicine is profound and profound, but how to combine it with modern medicine is the direction of the efforts of the majority of medical workers, so that Chinese medicine to the world, for the benefit of the world's people is also the wish of the Chinese people.

Now the Chinese medicine high medical skills of physicians can not be registered, the price is very expensive, the general civilian population in an emergency had to see the Western medicine injection with antibiotics, traditional Chinese medicine in the body conditioning, supporting the role of the deficiency is still very good. So now the combination of Chinese and Western medicine to treat the disease or have some efficacy.

I think Chinese medicine is not only useful but also of great use, our Chinese medicine has a history of several thousand years. The level of medical skills once reached the peak, even the medical level of modern experts can not be compared with the previous generation of masters. That is, now the Chinese medicine family, is also inherited along the ancient Chinese medicine genetic massage, acupuncture and Chinese herbs attributed to the meridian and corresponds to the human body viscera yin and yang five elements, concocting and matching into a compound prescription to cure the sick to save people's lives ....... Some people deny Chinese medicine is their prejudice and ignorance of Chinese medicine, they simply do not know the magic of Chinese medicine, and do not know that the negative effects of Chinese medicine on the human body will be minimized, not to mention the remarkable efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine on the treatment of the root of the disease to fix the root. I hope that some people should experience Chinese medicine and they will realize its wonders and their wrong prejudices against it!

Who are those people who deny the uselessness of Chinese medicine? Take a look at the video of Taiwan's Mr. Huang Zhixian and you will know who are suppressing Chinese medicine, TCM.

Chinese medicine has a long and profound history. The introduction of Western medicine into China only began in modern times, but from ancient times to modern times, the Chinese people's prosperity, its medical protection relies on Chinese medicine.

'Diagnosis and treatment' is the essence of Chinese medicine. As the saying goes, 'as the disease changes, so does the doctor'. For example, for the same cold, there are wind-cold, wind-heat, surface cold, internal heat, dampness, phlegm, deficiency (also divided into qi deficiency, yang deficiency, blood deficiency, yin deficiency), etc. Only by accurately identifying the symptoms can we prescribe the right medication to get rid of the disease. Even if the same person with the same disease, will change over time, the use of medicine must follow the changes. The treatment method can also be 'taken under the upper disease, the lower disease on the take, through the cause of the general, plug the cause of the use of plugging'. This is the difficulty of the doctor, but also shows the flexibility of Chinese medicine, is a very rich dialectical science.

Born in the Warring States period of the "Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine" is the goblet of Chinese medicine theory, many of the major principles have been systematically explained. Such as yin and yang, five elements, internal organs and meridians, the overall concept (man is an organic whole, human health and disease is closely related to nature). All of this is still effective in guiding the clinical practice of Chinese medicine.

China's earliest pharmacological monograph "Shennong Ben Cao Jing" was born in the Qin and Han dynasties, containing 365 kinds of Chinese medicines, which is already considerable. The book analyzes the efficacy and taste of each medicine, which is the cornerstone of Chinese pharmacology.

In the history of Chinese civilization, there have been many famous Chinese medicine practitioners and writings, and the theories of Chinese medicine have been continuously developed. Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Typhoid and Miscellaneous Diseases" (伤寒杂病论) of the Eastern Han Dynasty (东汉) used the six meridians to identify typhoid and the internal organs to identify miscellaneous diseases, and pioneered the theory of symptomatic treatment and put forward an important law of traditional Chinese medicine. It contains 113 prescriptions, many of which are regarded as 'classic prescriptions' and are still in use today. Zhang Zhongjing was honored as the 'Sage of Medicine' by later generations. The contributions of Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica in the Ming Dynasty to pharmacology, Wu Yike's Theory of Warm Epidemics to the study of warm diseases, and Ye Tianshi's further enrichment of the theory of warm diseases in the Qing Dynasty, the creation of the identification of diseases in the Wei, qi, ying, and blood, and so on, all play an important role in the prevention and treatment of diseases for the Chinese people.

After thousands of years of practical exploration and scientific development, Chinese medicine has been playing an irreplaceable role in safeguarding the health and prosperity of the Chinese nation. Even today, in the fight against the new crown epidemic, the efficacy of Chinese medicine is evident to all. Chinese medicine is deeply rooted in the people, rooted in the history of Chinese civilization, its effectiveness and scientific nature has been repeatedly confirmed, there is no doubt; otherwise, it would have long been abandoned by the people. It is neither possible nor ethical to deny Chinese medicine.

The things left behind by our ancestors, those who say they are useless are ridiculous! Opera is pleasing to the eye, Chinese medicine removes diseases and nourishes the body, martial arts strengthens the body and health ...... Chinese civilization, profound and profound!

Those who say that Chinese medicine is useless are just two types of people. One of the foreign panderers, as if greedy for sex, family flowers without the fragrance of wildflowers. The second belongs to some of the Western medicine to start a profit-seeking people, in order to squeeze the pharmaceutical market, not hesitate to maliciously belittle and suppress Chinese medicine, to seize a greater interest! In order to carry forward the Chinese tradition, we should be better to learn the old ancestors left behind cultural heritage, so that Chinese medicine for more people to bring health and happiness!
