I met one last month that really convinced me. A young herbalist in his 30s.

I work out at the gym. I have a new trainer who is a bit of a dilettante. I went up to 160kg on the backpedals, normally I do 100kg on my own, and I was already exhausted by the 6th rep of the first set. He asked me to do 3 more. When I did the last one, I felt pain from my tailbone along my spine and up to the back of my head. Especially the top of my head felt like there were needles sticking in my head. It was especially hard to come down. Chest tightness and shortness of breath.

Immediately went to a nearby hospital for ct and ultrasound, luckily the blood vessel was fine. The outpatient doctor just said to rest and keep watching or go see a Chinese medicine practitioner. Overnight headache, ear and heart pain.

The next morning I went to the city hospital (tertiary care) and went to the TCM clinic. I didn't say anything at the door. The first thing the doctor said when he took the pulse was, "Have you recently lost energy, or encountered a cold environment. Qi deficiency off yang." I was convinced. Three pairs of medicines were prescribed. After taking them, I was greatly relieved, and then I didn't like the tonics. Chinese pills were prescribed, along with precautions. Two boxes of pills were basically normal after taking them!

Whoever told you that pulse diagnosis alone to understand the condition is a highly skilled doctor. Pulse diagnosis and healing a disease with good efficacy are two completely different concepts. For example, a martial artist and national champion practicing martial arts routines is not the same concept as a special forces soldier on the battlefield. It is also not the same concept as a sparring champion in the ring. According to my clinical experience of more than 30 years. Where the patient is not allowed to speak at the door, only stretching a hand to touch, said a particularly accurate person. Cure efficacy 99% are not good. They practiced is how to take the pulse to convince the patient. Most of them are not good at how to cure the disease. This is definitely one of the misconceptions people have about Chinese medicine. Anyone who wants to be unconvinced can think back to the results of those who are very accurate in taking the pulse. Looking, sniffing and cutting, pulse cutting comes last. What makes it the first? What makes it the most important? There is a correct treatment method, to cure the disease is the most correct. It is the best doctor. Modern medical diagnostic equipment has developed to a very high degree. I think Western medicine is very good at diagnosis. The effect of Chinese medicine treatment is also very good. I think Western medicine diagnosis, and then Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment is the best method. This is the approach I take, and I do not see anyone who has not been in the hospital. This will avoid missing serious diseases or misdiagnosis.

Traditional Chinese Medicine pulse taking I have seen a better local one called Xiao Hei, in his forties, with poor eyesight. I don't want to talk to anyone, just take a pulse, and then say the situation, and you can compare. The general condition of many doctors can be numbered out, less common is the first day of drinking can also be numbered out. I accompanied my lover to the doctor's office, and after taking her pulse, she said she wanted me to take a pulse too, because she had a cough those days. She said that she would like to have her pulse checked for me as well, as I had a cough those days. I actually drank two glasses of wine on the first day, and I didn't even feel it myself, and I didn't feel like drinking, and I didn't have any alcohol breath. Another thing is that hypertension can be detected by pulse, because I have heard other Chinese medicine practitioners say that hypertension cannot be detected by pulse, so I think it is special and a Chinese medicine practitioner with real skills. It is possible that everyone's training is different, and it is not certain what kind of skills a doctor will have if he likes to attack certain areas. It is true that Chinese medicine is profound and profound, but a person may not be proficient in all of them.

5 miles from our home there is an old Chinese medicine, I think the medical skill is brilliant, but this person has passed away four or five years ago, to say a few words about my own personal experience, in the summer of 2011, a noon, I have the habit of taking a nap, at that time I was at home with my old mother and the two of us, and so woke up after the feeling of half of the head, half of the chest, half of the arm with a sense of numbness, when my mother said that my mother said numbness is not a good disease. Good disease, hurry to find Dr. Wang to see to go, when the family has a motorcycle, riding on their own to find Dr. Wang went to the situation and the doctor said, the doctor said I give you a pulse, the doctor touched a moment, "eek" a sound, and said I'll give you to measure the blood pressure, blood pressure, said I originally suspected that you are due to rheumatism rheumatoid caused by numbness, measured blood pressure, and said you have a blood pressure, but I do not know what the blood pressure is, but I think it is a good idea. I originally suspected that you are due to rheumatoid rheumatism caused by numbness, after measuring the blood pressure to determine that 85% of you are cerebral infarction, think cerebral infarction of this disease is quite big, on the hospital to do an MRI, the results are really lacunar cerebral infarction.

Another time in our village and an old lady led her daughter to see Dr. Wang, the doctor asked your daughter how, the old lady said that is recently do not like to move, the doctor said to feel the pulse, after feeling it said, she is pregnant, the old lady rushed to say that we are still a daughter, not married it, the doctor said, I see the disease, regardless of whether or not you are a daughter.

Relying on the pulse alone to diagnose a specific situation, this point we Chinese medicine powder not sure, but by looking and sniffing, the accuracy is very high. Such as my decades of diagnosis and cure of chronic sigmoid colon, never done colonoscopy and gastroscopy. Accompanied by mild neurasthenia, more than two months to cure. My cousin said after taking the pulse that her blood about 8 grams or so, the actual left a few days ago to draw blood measured 8.2 grams, a friend of mine to send tongue photos tongue diagnosis and diagnostic questioning, concluded that there is a chronic mild erosive gastritis, are not numbered, and then went to do a gastroscopy, match. And so on very many examples, these are the common sense of Chinese medicine. My parents' generation knows a lot about Chinese medicine. My mom once had a roundworm string bile, rolling in pain and spitting yellow water, countryside Chinese medicine practitioners diagnosed the disease after pulse questioning, two days of Chinese medicine cure. Parents used to raise piglets, experienced, uneducated, but to help a neighbor's pig with typhoid fever, even veterinarians can not be cured are cured. So the benefits of TCM are not something we say, but something that has come from thousands of years of clinical practice. Pulse taking is only one of the important skills, for those who have not met a good Chinese medicine and do not know Chinese medicine is really amazing.

Are Chinese Medicine Practitioners Superior? What is the classification of Chinese medicine? To look and know is called God, to smell and know is called Saint, to cut and know is called Worker, to ask and know is called Skillful. It is clear at a glance whether a Chinese medicine practitioner is brilliant or not! Where Chinese medicine four diagnosis and reference is a foolproof plan, but also from the medical practitioner must study the way. Beginners only use one of the skills for people to see the doctor, easy to deviation, human life is at stake, can not be careful!

I know such a professor of Chinese medicine, now seventy-one. He originally graduated from junior high school with relatives learned Chinese medicine, and then went to work in the commune health center. At the age of twenty-one, participated in the provincial herbal medicine exhibition. Recommended in seventy-two years to go to college, studying western medicine (clinical medicine) for three years. During the three years of university still insist on visiting patients. Although after graduation, he was assigned to the combined Chinese and Western medicine department of the university hospital, but he still insisted on the Chinese medicine as the mainstay and Western medicine as the supplementary treatment method. He retired ten years ago and now runs his own clinic. For more than 50 years, she has been treating geriatric and endemic diseases with her own medicine. Such as hypertension, heart disease, arteriosclerosis, cerebral infarction, rheumatism, stomach disease. He was awarded the second prize for scientific and technological progress. Some patients who had been paralyzed by stroke for several years were cured and were able to walk on the ground. There are patients with rheumatism, diagnosed as incurable by the so-called famous doctors, was cured now healthy and grow up to become a family. This is an old Chinese medicine practitioner's benevolence.

Two examples of personal experience. A 03 is a freshman summer vacation at home, can not get up in the morning, the back of the head here tendons have been cramps, pain, shivering, which is the most painful pain I've ever experienced, and then go to the town health center to see a relative there, an old Chinese medicine, said the stroke, and then in the tiger's mouth and the back of the head near the beginning of a needle began to line of needles, did not line can not stand it, I did not expect the needle scorching a twisting turn so big, but the symptoms immediately reduced! Then prescribed a three-dollar pill home, take the medicine and lie down to rest, the next day is good. The second is the summer of 15 years playing basketball broke his foot, then a half palm-sized bag quickly swollen in the ankle, how fast, swollen position and not swollen into a ninety-degree angle, and then slowly the whole foot swollen, filming said that minor bone damage, the doctor let bed rest, prescribed Yunnan Baiyao let spray, spray a day of a little bit of no relief, and swollen a little bit, almost twice as big as the other foot, but my business! Immediately to start, anxious, every other day others introduced the old Chinese medicine, think try it, to his place at 4:00 or 5:00 p.m., pasted a sticking plaster, opened some of their own with a bag of capsules filled with Chinese herbs, a pot of wine as a cited, to the evening at 7:00 or 8:00 p.m., pasted the foot began to heat up the fire feeling, and the next day the foot can be gently hard to stand up, before the light touch of a little bit of the ground are drilling heartache. Another two days have thrown away the crutches can walk, before the doctor said in the hospital to take pictures for a month.

When I was a child, about six or seven years old, a small meatball under the armpit, is under the skin, ran a lot of hospitals, do not even know what it is, but also fucking said it was a tumor, and then went to see an old Chinese medicine, said that it is the "Ger egg", that is, under the armpit of the egg means, prescribed a poultice to paste in the armpits, a week on the disappeared, thirty years! Thirty years have passed and it has never grown back! I would like to say that there are still highly skilled Chinese medicine practitioners, only now by some of the jianghu Langzhong bad reputation, Western medicine has been progressing, but objectively speaking, many doctors are now genuinely poor medical skills, away from the instrument, it is estimated that even an ordinary person is not as good as! Moreover, many of the instruments used to see the doctor also see the mess! Therefore, Chinese medicine and Western medicine can not be asserted who is science, who is fooling people! After all, for the patient, can cure the disease is the king, you can not cure, the theory and how a set of a set of useless!

Chinese medicine is profound, if not personally experienced, it is difficult to imagine its unique features. Thirteen years old in elementary school, my home from the school about two hundred meters away, I will often walk without signs of walking kneeling on the ground, no pain and no numbness. Stand up, walk well and lie down. The county hospital to see several times, back and forth not good. Later, my aunt introduced me to my old man to take me to their district of an old doctor to see.

The old physician was quite kind, gave me a pulse, asked me to open my mouth to see, said it does not matter to you to prescribe a few medicines to eat and will be fine! So far, it has not recurred.

Later, when my wife was more than two months pregnant, she developed a large red spot around her waist that hurt and itched like hell. My old aunt knew, also took us to the old doctor to look good. She said that she had a child and couldn't take any medication, so she took some of her own ointment and applied it, saying that it would be slower, and that it would be gone in half a month at the most. Later, I heard my old aunt talking to him in the local language!

When we came out, we were full of relief, and my old aunt also looked happy, saying that my wife was pregnant with a boy, and that this physician's pulse was very accurate!

Decades have passed and just these two things are remembered accurately. The old physician's name was Chen, and I heard that he lived to be ninety-seven years old!
