Wood difference, except that one emphasizes the profoundness of 5,000 years; the other emphasizes the use of data to speak. [facepalm] [flash of light]

Please see my article "Western medicine PK Chinese medicine, the result is that Chinese medicine is more reasonable, Chinese medicine is more advanced, Chinese medicine is more scientific" published in today's headlines on May 20th. I have exhausted countless brain cells writing this article, and I believe I can satisfy you.

Two head nurses got SARS, one was treated by western medicine and died, and one was treated by Chinese medicine, and the doctor was Deng Tietao, who stopped all western medicines and ate Chinese medicine. The head nurse who was treated with Chinese medicine has survived to this day.

The new crown pneumonia Western medicine until now have no effective drugs, Chinese medicine Chinese medicine cure rate is 99.26%. What else is there to serve or not to serve, the facts speak louder than words.

Thank you for your invitation to answer, I think the title is inappropriate, should remove the word "essence", should be asked: What is the biggest difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine? The essence of Chinese medicine and Western medicine is centered around human health, with the purpose of curing diseases and saving people's lives, in fact, the essence of Chinese and Western medicine is the same, but the difference is the means of diagnosis and treatment and the method of treatment is different.

Personally, I will briefly elaborate on the differences in a few aspects with my shallow research and exploration.

I. Why is the essence of Chinese and Western medicine the same?

First of all, what is essence? Essence refers to its own form, the original form, the fundamental properties inherent in the thing itself.

The essence of the rise and existence of Chinese medicine is to cure diseases and save people's lives, which is an inevitable attribute of Chinese medicine and is beyond dispute.

The essence (attribute) of the rise and existence of Western medicine is also the purpose of curing diseases and saving people's lives.

Therefore, the essence (attributes) and purpose of Chinese and Western medicine are the same: both are to cure diseases and save lives, and to maintain the health and safety of human beings.

(b) Why are the diagnostic and treatment methods of TCM and Western medicine different?

1. Diagnostic and therapeutic means of Chinese medicine: the existence and rise of Chinese medicine is almost synchronized with the dependence of mankind.

How many years has Chinese medicine existed? It is still impossible to find out, and there have been conflicting accounts for thousands of years.

The new assertion of modern archaeologists is that civilization existed before the history of mankind, so is Chinese medicine the inheritance of prehistoric civilization? To be investigated.

The archaeological excavations of the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, and Zhongjing's Treatise on Typhoid Fever of the Han Dynasty have given us a set of theories of traditional Chinese medicine, which have continued to be passed down and utilized for thousands of years.

But modern science can't explain it, e.g. meridian theory, acupuncture, witchcraft, Zhuyuji, etc. (Zhuyuji's thirteen disciplines)

This is actually an ancient Chinese medical treatment.

For example: archaeological excavations of the Han Dynasty medical books opening words: quiet and see the movement and check, which is the essence of Chinese medicine to determine the cause of the disease, but the modern people can be understood? I am afraid that those who really understand have long been living in seclusion in the mountains and forests, not to mention to cure the disease.

The doctrine of yin and yang, five elements, five movements and six qi now have a few old Chinese doctors skilled in the use, I'm afraid I can not pick one or two in ten thousand miles.

In the specific diagnostic and treatment methods of Chinese medicine: the four diagnostic methods of observation, hearing, questioning and cutting, I am afraid that there are not many modern Chinese medicine hospitals that can utilize them freely.

To be honest, since the introduction of Western medicine, under the crushing weight of Western medicine, good Chinese medicine practitioners can only be found in the private sector.

The means of diagnosis and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine can be roughly attributed to the four diagnostic methods, without borrowing any foreign medical instruments, by virtue of the teacher to pass on the teachings of their own learning, practice and search for decades of accumulated experience and the combination of the four diagnostic methods to dialectic, diagnosis of the disease to find out the cause.

2. Western medicine means of diagnosis and treatment: the existence and rise of Western medicine is dependent on the acquired scientific foundation.

As we all know: science is a discipline validated by human exploration and development, originating in the post-human era.

Western medicine is a new medical art based on human body deconstruction, and naturally the diagnostic and therapeutic means of Western medicine cannot be separated from human body deconstruction.

Therefore, Western medical doctors have to rely on various medical instruments and tools that recognize the physiological circulation process of the human body to determine whether there is any abnormality in the human body. Once the western medicine left the medical equipment ring, can not determine the disease, can be said to be dependent on medical equipment in some cases, which is the means of diagnosis and treatment of western medicine.

III. Why is it said that Chinese and Western medical practitioners have different methods of administering treatment?

. Let's look at the TCM method of administration. Herbs, acupuncture, and knives are used in conjunction with inexpensive administration.

The common method of Chinese medicine is to take the resources of nature, microorganisms, herbs and plants, and some animal bodies and inorganic substances, according to the yin and yang and five elements dialectical diagnosis and diagnosis of the cause of the disease, to mix and give medicines.

Everyone is different, usually one person, one disease a party, according to the patient's condition, configure the warm, stable, fierce dose to see its effect.

2. Western medical treatment is commonly used: chemical synthetic drugs, physical methods and surgical excision treatment. The cost of treatment is high.

From the rise of Western medicine for more than a hundred years, medicine has been detached from it, and doctors are only mechanically administering treatments according to a long-established one-line program.

For example: look at labs for inflammation, antibiotics are used, this one doesn't work and then that one, and various antibiotics are rotated.

The headache, the feet, the internal organs have grown a tumor, borrowed the knife and instrument to remove a knife.

In conclusion: Chinese and Western medicine are essentially the same, only the means of diagnosis and treatment and the method of administering treatment have the greatest difference.

Briefly:

Chinese medicine is their own independent diagnosis and treatment, according to the disease with everyone treatment, characterized by slow healing, the effect is the overall conditioning and gradual eradication.

Western medicine is the use of medical equipment ring diagnosis and treatment, relying on chemical synthesis of drugs administered, characterized by uniformity, the effect is a quick cure, side effects, after-effects occur more often.

Let's take a look at the birth of Western medicine, over time, according to statistics, the world invented more than 7,000 kinds of drugs, to the present showing side effects have been phased out more than 6,000 kinds of drugs.

As for Chinese medicine, the remedies handed down from ancient times are still applied today and never go out of fashion.

I have no prejudice against Chinese and Western medicine. I personally have no prejudice against Chinese and Western medicine personal opinion welcome friends to comment.

I think Western medicine is quick. But it has a lot of side effects. Chinese medicine is slow. But the side effects are small or even no side effects.

Chinese medicine to (prevention of disease and epidemic poison attack, disease from shallow Chinese medicine) prevention-based, to (nourish the body, improve immunity, create a relaxed environment, joyful mood) maintenance-based. Toxin to attack poison! Medical fundamental (cure) digging up the root of the disease.

Western medicine is based on (no prevention, no preparation, no disease, no treatment) treatment, rapid control (treatment of symptoms) of the disease, it is easy to leave residual virus recurrence.

From the viewpoint of both, each of them has its own desirable advantages. In order to make greater progress in the development of Chinese medicine, it is necessary to take the road of combining Chinese and Western medicines for the benefit of the Chinese people and the people of the world!

Artemisia is actually similar to willow bark and artemisinin is actually similar to aspirin.

At this moment when the crown poison is rampant, I have no interest in talking about the merits and demerits of Chinese and Western medicine. My mood is only heavy grief and pathos. Because every day almost a hundred lives in the disappearance, I seem to hear the parents lose their children, loved ones lose their loved ones of the sad cries, I only hate their own failure to learn Chinese medicine, the key time can not save many lives. I think that many medical workers, whether they are TCM practitioners or Western medical practitioners, their feelings are as heavy as mine.

Simply put, the beginning of Western medicine is to cure the disease, the study of the cure, symptomatic performance with intuitive means; Chinese medicine in the beginning is to protect life, and not cure the disease, the study of the human body to comply with the balance of heaven and earth and the unity of man.

The Chinese medicine practitioners who have attained the Dao, the people who have deeply eclipsed the essence of Chinese medicine focus on repairing and correcting sick people (of course, the vast majority of practitioners of Chinese medicine are not like this, and it is difficult to do so), the micro-medium macro-integrated, the whole and the local organic combination, and the overall integration of the whole (the vast majority of people can not do so). Western medicine focus on life in the medical books have a unified name of the disease, as long as the disease is taken out even if the success, consider the micro and local more, consider the whole organic connection less, not much study of all the interactions between things, do not pay attention to the balance of the whole system of organisms. Of course, Western medicine people are not all in accordance with Western medical dogma, many people are also learning Chinese medicine thinking, also learning dialectical materialism theory. In the future, they should integrate with each other to form a brand new life medicine.

Western medicine treats the symptoms, Chinese medicine treats the root cause, Chinese medicine is the unity of heaven and man, look and smell, combined with acupuncture, massage, massage and other integrated treatment, while most of the Western medicine through surgical treatment, the Chinese and Western have their own merits, the Chinese and Western to give a combination of treatment, the effect will be better.
