If there is a secret Chinese medicine recipe that can cure a certain disease but does not want to disclose the method of concoction, can it be imitated by chemical analysis?
If there is a secret Chinese medicine recipe that can cure a certain disease but does not want to disclose the method of concoction, can it be imitated by chemical analysis?
If this question is valid, Chinese medicine has no secret formula to speak of. Take Yunnan Baiyao for ingredients to analyze, what are the chemical components, and then synthesize with chemotherapy raw materials can be, but this is impossible.
Nowadays, people's knowledge of nature is quite limited, including chemical ingredients. Nowadays no one dares to say that modern technology has fully known all the chemical ingredients in the world in several kinds, and no other ingredients exist, and no world-class chemist has been heard to make such a promise. So nature was, is, and will always be explored and discovered. In a way, the present knowledge of nature surpasses the ancients in some respects and lags far behind them in others.
Chinese medicine by the sages of Chinese medicine repeated research and use, and even on the basis of their own test drugs summarized and developed, with a systematic theoretical system, formulas, processing and artillery system, a series of complete and effective Chinese medicine disciplines. If you want to use some of the known chemical methods and some incorrect ideas to figure out Chinese medicine, it is estimated that another hundred years may not be realized.
Why is it that a prescription, which is effective when taken with Chinese herbal medicines, is not effective when synthesized with chemical ingredients? We should reflect on the fact that the chemical ingredients contained in these several flavors of Chinese medicines are only those known to us, and whether there are still unknown chemical ingredients present? Chinese medicine through the traditional processing of paste, pills, powder, agent, and what new chemical reactions will be generated, and what some of the new chemical components produced, who can say clearly? However, in the end, there is a therapeutic effect, as patients want is not the therapeutic effect?
Always want to use the limited known to negate the infinite unknown, such thinking should be changed, we should be known, has been verified to fully excavate the use of peace of mind, on nature, on the unknown world or to continue to explore with reverence is.
I saw a program. Americans learn to stir-fry like the Chinese. The Chinese have a knife, cut vegetables, meat, melon and peppers. Americans take a pen and a notebook, while recording and asking, what vegetables with what knife? What portion with what portion? I was laughing. You ask the Chinese medicine formula can be chemically imitated not? The answer is yes, but drinking Chinese medicine is like eating food, everyone's needs are different, and absorption capacity varies from person to person. Even if the imitation of the Chinese medicine recipe, the effect is not as good as expected. Nowadays, many people are black on Chinese medicine. The reason is that Chinese medicine is now also very expensive, the effect is still general. Licensed and certified Chinese medicine practitioners cannot cure people at all. On the contrary, those three-no barefoot, secret prescriptions are many. I don't have the background of Chinese medicine, but I favor mountain herbs. I have also witnessed the special effects of many mountain herbs. If I were in the countryside, I would have become the village medicine woman.
The formula is fully analyzable by chemical methods and is also fully synthesizable chemically.
But Chinese medicine is concerned about evidence-based treatment, one person, one party, imitation is only the treatment of a person's formula, for example, you imitation synthesized to treat wind-cold, but not cure the wind-dampness, the treatment of wind-cold formula for wind-heat patients will only become more and more serious, which is killing people in the form of invisible.
Generic medicines are only useful in a particular case, and imitation is not possible unless the full set is used, such as one for a better constitution, one for a weaker constitution, and one for each of wind, cold, dampness, heat, and so on.
The reason why generic drugs for cancer treatment are very useful for some patients and not for others, and even hasten death for some patients, is that this is the reason why there is a difference in the individual human being, and the method of administering the drug is different, or else the opposite will happen.
Chinese medicine is absolutely no one side can cure a hundred people, the so-called secret formula is not a thousand times the same, the secret cure is also in the foundation of the combination of different patients, different constitution, as well as different conditions to be amended, plus or minus, if you say that a formula in the case of unchanged, the treatment of ten (or a hundred people)的same kind of disease, which is nonsense, is a scam.
We should have a rational understanding of Chinese medicine, cognition. Chinese medicine does not always the same strange formula, the divine formula, the so-called secret formula is the basis of the formula.
For those who exaggerate the efficacy of treatment and deify the efficacy of treatment, please pay attention to it and don't be fooled.
Chinese medicine, not a miracle drug, there is a process of healing, absolutely no pay to break the root of the disease said. I am also a partisan of Chinese medicine, which is issued from the heart of the narrative, believe it or not by you.
Although most people do not believe in Chinese medicine anymore, I still believe that Chinese medicine is a treasure trove left by the ancients to the Chinese people.
Chinese medicine and Western medicine are two completely different ways of treating diseases. Chinese medicine has its flavor (warm, hot, cold, cool, pungent, sweet, bitter, salty, sour), to see the disease is cold or hot, the body is weak or solid, the severity of the disease, the disease in the viscera in the internal organs and then based on the judgment of the sweat or the next, and then only to make the prescription, the preparation of the prescription should also be considered in the concomitant evidence of the addition of which drugs.
Chinese medicine ingredients can be chemically and biologically extracted, but some of the medicinal properties can not be extracted, how can you imitate the heat and cold of Chinese medicine? Is the imitation medicine sour or sweet? Can you sweat or can you vomit or diarrhea? Don't think that the laboratory can explain TCM clearly (at least not now) .........

It's basically hopeless.
Nowadays, chemical tests generally can only test the pile of things inside the content of various elements is how much, to test the specific kind of chemical substances is very difficult, especially organic matter, as long as the three elements of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen can be discharged do not know how many kinds of substances.
For example, you have heard of Sanlu milk powder. In order to grade the milk of dairy farmers, it was decided to differentiate the milk according to its protein content, which contains a large amount of nitrogen, so the protein content can be deduced by testing the nitrogen content. This design itself is not a problem, but can not stop some clever people research, as long as the milk added to the nitrogen content of high things can make the test results show that the protein content is much higher. The dairy farmers knew that by adding melamine directly to the milk, they could get away with it.
Now, laboratory tests can only go so far as to measure the elemental content and then rule out, based on the catalog, whether this is something or not. For example, if there is a bottle of liquid here and I suspect that it is sulphuric acid, I can test the composition and come up with the result that it is sulphuric acid or it is not sulphuric acid.
Generally speaking, traditional Chinese medicine is mostly plants and certain organs of animals, and its composition is so complex that it is basically impossible to test it out. To take a step back, even if the ingredients are detected, how to synthesize is also a problem. Let's say Viagra, the patent has expired, the composition of the open and transparent, the generic drugs are still worse than the original cut, the reason is that, how to synthesize this process, the original factory is confidential, you know the results of a topic does not necessarily reflect the solution process.
This look is a matter of illiteracy, only for those who are superstitious about science. Because these people think science is awesome and omnipotent! Except that they do not know that science is only the equivalent of practice, and laboratory practice at that. The only thing that is useful is science and technology, not science.
Our country's special secret formulas, the quick-acting heart-saving pills and Yunnan Baiyao, are distributed in every country and every pharmacy in the world. Many people want to get the secret formula, many people through your so-called "science" to analyze, test, but just can not copy, you can say that some countries have no money and no technology? Can you say that some countries have no money and no technology? They are the best countries in the world, but they just can't do it, why? Because not only can't they analyze it, but they can't copy it.
The lab can analyze the so-called major components (which may not actually be the major components), but what about the trace components? What about trace ingredients? In traditional Chinese medicine, the main role is not necessarily the so-called major components, but may also be trace components, insignificant components. The laboratory can only analyze the high content of the ingredients, but for very few ingredients is difficult to analyze, and even still do not understand the ingredients. Don't think of science as so mysterious and noble.
The mysteries of this world are far too small and insignificant for the so-called science to see. The picture below shows three eggs. Many scientific studies say that farm eggs and airport eggs have the same nutritional content and there is no difference. Really? It's because they have only studied the main components of the two types of eggs and not their subtle differences. Do airport eggs produce chicks? It won't. And farm eggs hatch chicks. Can an egg that produces chicks be the same as an egg that doesn't? Can they be constructed the same? Is the composition the same? What's the point of studying composition if you don't know the simplest thing? What's the point? Most people can tell that they are not the same, but some people still yell that they are the same, I really don't know what is going on in their heads. Batter!

Little Eggs, Big Secrets
Can not, if the modern civilization can analyze and copy, cure the disease of the prescription drugs early not to Chinese medicine, from traditional Chinese medicine to extract Western medicine can be crowded out to suppress Chinese medicine for hundreds of years, people believe in man-made, such as editing genes, extracting a single ingredient of herbs, after a long test patient exploration close to the species or simulation of the original herbs, don't you think that the futility of it? Not to mention that the current civilization can not analyze a large number of drugs ratios antagonistic synergistic effect, the defects of Western medicine is this, so not to spare the amount of drug-resistant medication. Or in order to deny the ability of nature and species of billions of years of clinical selection, is it a few years a few patients will be tested out than the nature of the original biological safety, many of the current Western medicine curative therapies and medicines from traditional Chinese medicine, according to their own principles of the development of very difficult to be effective, the common influenza is also no medicine available, malaria influenza viruses, which are not cured by traditional Chinese medicine (quinine artemisinin vaccine are taken from traditional Chinese medicine, as for the influenza compound), traditional Chinese medicine is very likely to be able to copy the flu, but not to be able to copy it. The Chinese medicine is very likely to be the ultimate in the future development of Western medicine.
You can copy it, but the result of your copying will be like an eastward spiral.
You copy the things we do not say that some people believe, even if they believe you, but you give people can not cure. Because Chinese medicine is a very strange thing. The amount of dosage and the different places of origin. Will affect the effect. My grandfather is the beggar's doctor, but I went to the field, the same medicine effect is not as good as our hometown. Let's say that the Chinese medicine, the real thing grows in a south and a north of the junction of the two mountains. The north side of the child to see the sun see early. Promote it underground part. The south side of the ice and snow melt when the water flowing down. Nourish her growth. He only in the lunar calendar in June and July you can see it lush look. So this medicine is very effective. The ancients used very small doses. But nowadays, the epiphyllum is cultivated artificially. It's reasonable to say that this stuff is poisonous. But people nowadays eat it in large quantities. And haven't seen any deaths.
That said, you get the point! Don't try to whore out people's results. Some remedies have been perfected over generations. Some of them even cost their lives. It's okay, you search the internet for the origin of Yunnan Baiyao. Just know to. To preserve a partial recipe. Need to pay a lot. If you really love Chinese medicine, now adults can also go to this kind of university. As long as you study hard. You can also become a generation of famous doctors.
There is more than just the ingredients that make a Chinese medicine effective. Otherwise there would be no such thing as place of origin, and probably also the environmental inculcation it has experienced growing in that region, which is more specific.
For example, the ingredients of artificial oxalis and natural oxalis are very similar, but the selling price is vastly different, why?
My personal experience is: the Chinese medicine can also recognize the disease not to recognize the person, previously opened the clinic when the treatment of warts, all come to me for treatment, are with the same prescription, never recur, regardless of men and women. The other diseases as long as the disease is the same, is also the same prescription, only in the adults and children between the amount of drugs have a slight difference. Now, such as herpes pharyngitis and other herpes, I also use a prescription treatment, with the extraction of good Chinese medicine water spray on the affected area, the effect is immediate, the medicine to the pain stop. Of course, the complexity of the disease will have to be a disease on one side!
