Does Western medicine have a holistic view? How can Western medicine be evaluated systematically and objectively?
Modern medicine is too backward, or thousands of years ago advanced medicine. Think about it haha, modern weapons are too backward, thousands of years ago in the Neolithic era, weapons are already green to hit a wide range.
Talking about the holistic view, this is even worse than a generation. Back then, no matter what the disease, by the sorcerer site practice, quite holistic; to the age of the traveler Langzhong regression, actually discuss the five viscera and six bowels, but basically a handful of herbs boiled soup to drink to the stomach, is also considered holistic; modern medicine is even more regression, entangled in what bacterial viruses and pathogens, actually pursued to the molecular level; a variety of physiological functions are also more and more detailed research, no beard and eyebrows to grasp a grasp of the wisdom of the beard and eyebrows, is simply not for the Certain "holistic" people.
Modern Western medicine has gone further and further astray. In their eyes, the human body is a machine assembled from various parts. Love to dismantle where to dismantle, love to change what to change what. In order to benefit from the surgery also dare to do internal medicine! A large internal medicine is also subdivided into ten or so internal medicine, look at the liver do not know the heart, look at the lungs do not know the kidney! With the holistic view of the difference of 108,000 miles! The so-called doctors are just one operator on the assembly line of a factory, all commercial profits as the highest code of conduct, the so-called first principle of saving lives and helping the sick and injured has long been thrown to the winds! Of course, there are also moral and artistic, but has been rare.
The solution is simple: don't go to the hospital if you say Western medicine doesn't work, and don't see a Chinese doctor if you say Chinese medicine doesn't work. Every time I see Chinese medicine powder can not help but reason, today lazy waste of breath, anyway, I have never seen Chinese medicine before, and will not be, but also annoyed to think that Western medicine is ineffective, cheating, extinction of traditional Chinese culture, do not see Western medicine (modern medicine). Do not seek common ground, but differences, I just look at witchcraft blowing eyes, which Chinese medicine powder is not convinced, bet a spell, see a Western medicine account book less a page, as opposed to this, if I see a Chinese medicine, account book less a page. I don't dare to pick up the fight, don't compare, I'd like to see how many witchcraft fans have full confidence in witchcraft?
Who says Western medicine doesn't have a holistic view, the concept of holistic view has existed in Western medicine since ancient times.
Homeopathy - an alternative therapy practiced by countless people at home and abroad
Like today's thick history of Chinese medicine, today's Western medicine is also in the history of generations of physicians continue to develop and summarize the progress out. And in the process of the development of Western medicine, it is necessary to mention the famous alternative therapy - homeopathy.
▲Hippocrates
The origins of Western medicine lie in Greece, and Hippocrates, known as the "Father of Western Medicine", was one of the first early scholars to establish a Western medical system. In terms of time, Hippocrates was born in 460 B.C., roughly in the period of the Warring States period in China, while the Chinese medicine classic "Huang Di Nei Jing" mainly consists of medical writings of different schools of thought for more than 300 years before and after the Western Han Dynasty, which was in 2006 B.C. to 8 years after A.D. In other words, the emergence of Western medicine was not only no later than Chinese medicine, but even later than Chinese medicine. In other words, Western medicine appeared not only not later than Chinese medicine, but even many years earlier than Chinese medicine.
What is even more interesting is that Hippocrates' doctrine had a lot in common with the doctrine of Chinese medicine. He came up with the doctrine of bodily fluids, believing that bodily health is maintained in a state of equilibrium between blood, mucus, yellow bile and black bile. And furthermore, he corresponded the four bodily fluids with the four-element theory of all things, namely fire, water, air and earth, and pursued the balance of dryness, dampness, cold and heat in treatment. It can be said that early Western medicine and Chinese medicine are simply born of the same mother. If it were not for the fact that Hippocrates was born more than 100 years earlier than the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, there would be many people who would say that ancient Western medicine was born out of Chinese medicine.
In addition, Hippocrates also advocated the principle of "treating the class with the class" to encourage the patient's self-healing effect, which is very similar to the idea of "correcting" in Chinese medicine.
Developed by 1796, the German physician Samuel Hahnemann further developed homeopathy. It advocates a holistic view of the human body and considers human ailments as a whole. Common foods or medicines were used, repeatedly diluted with alcohol or distilled water, and the containers holding the diluted solutions were repeatedly beaten with a leather bound book, which was believed to produce effective special therapeutic substances.
The truth, however, is that medicinal liquids are often countless times diluted cool plain water, which does not contain even a hint of the active pharmaceutical ingredients.
It is such a written homeopathy, yet it is practiced by countless people even today. Famous public figures such as Steve Jobs, Yao Beina, and Chen Xiaoxu have all received homeopathic treatment at one time or another.
Holistic view - commonality exists between homeopathy and Chinese medicine
It is because of the commonality in the holistic view of homeopathy in traditional Western medicine that many people have long combined homeopathy, which has been discarded by modern Western medicine, with Chinese medicine, believing that it can further explore the value of Chinese medicine.
The fact, however, that four national and international bodies, the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia, the Science and Technology Committee of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom, the Scientific Advisory Committee of the European Academy of Sciences, and the Federal Office of Health of Switzerland, have carried out a rigorous evaluation of homeopathy.Everyone thinks homeopathy is ineffective.。"The effect achieved is no more than the average effect that a placebo would produce."The NHS further called on the UK Department of Health to blacklist homeopathy as a banned prescription drug.
Modern and Traditional Medicine - Inheritance of Tradition and Scientific Development
In fact.Today there is no such thing as Chinese medicine and Western medicine. There is only modern medicine and traditional medicine.Modern medicine is a set of scientific system based on human anatomy and bacteriology, through the study of strict biochemistry and physiology within the human body, and through the phase I, phase II, phase III and phase IV clinical trials of various drugs, strictly following the evidence and principles of evidence-based medicine. Traditional medicine, on the other hand, includes Chinese medicine, Mongolian medicine, Tibetan medicine, as well as traditional Western medicine, including the historical development of medicine.
Modern medicine is the fundamental reason why we are all living longer and in better health today. Traditional medicine, on the other hand, is only a historical medicine that has demonstrated a limited role in the history of nations.
For today's Chinese medicine practitioners, only by fully embracing science, using scientific methods to verify the role of Chinese medicine, and abolishing the practice of medicine can we truly usher in the spring of Chinese medicine.
I believe that there are many people who believe this, but this is not the case. As early as 1977, modern medicine proposed the "biopsychosocial model of medicine".
To see if a study is credible, it depends on whether the underlying theory is reasonable and objective Western medicine is built on physiology, biochemistry, pathology and disease, and is the product of objective practice On the other hand, Chinese medicine, yin and yang and the five elements, is the ancient people's simple conjecture on the unexplainable things in the world, and is a kind of culture, not a technology, and I'm using the culture to give you a medical treatment, just like a fortune-teller on the street, so the Chinese medicine culture can be put into a museum, and useful traditional Chinese medicine can be put into a museum, so that it can be used to treat the disease. We can leave it here.
Western medicine and Chinese medicine, each with its own characteristics, are both oriented towards curing diseases. I hope we can discuss the above issues rationally.
To explain in layman's terms.
Western medicine to treat the disease point to point, treat the symptoms but not the root cause, such as pain with painkillers, inflammation with anti-inflammatory drugs.
Chinese medicine treatment pay attention to the "overall concept" both: Chinese medicine believes that the human body itself has unity and integrity, not only refers to the human body is an organic whole, in function and composition of the integrity and unity, but also believe that the human mental activity and physical state has integrity and unity; and that the human being and the natural environment and the social environment with Organic connection, maintaining a unified and adaptive overall relationship, that is, "heaven and man related" from this guiding ideology to recognize the human physiological and pathological phenomena and study the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, is the overall concept of Chinese medicine.
Therefore, Chinese medicine practitioners know the spread of diseases, "prevention before the disease," such as "see the disease of the liver, know that the liver spreads to the spleen"; treatment principles, such as "nourishing the water to contain the wood," " Cultivate the earth to generate gold", "complementary mother and laxative son", "support the earth to inhibit wood", "Zuojinping wood", "inhibit the strong to help the weak " and so on.
Western medicine treatment characteristics, adapted to acute diseases, heavy infectious diseases, treating the symptoms but not the root cause. Chinese medicine emphasizes the treatment of disease seeking source and cure the root. Adapted to chronic diseases. Clinical pediatric nephrotic syndrome cure rate is high, Western medicine treatment of nephrotic syndrome is a large number of hormone drugs. These are just simple examples.
Chinese medicine black why black Chinese traditional Chinese medicine, because he does not understand Chinese medicine, do not understand Chinese medicine, here I can only say, Chinese medicine, Western medicine has its own advantages, many diseases using Chinese and Western medicine combined effect is more significant.
Behind the scenes there is a Western conspiracy to blacken Chinese culture, while Japan, Korea and the United States rush to use Chinese medicine techniques and monopolize Chinese medicine. Nationals were cheated, money cheated away, South Korea and then announced that Chinese medicine is a Korean invention, apply for world heritage. China within the brainwashed, fools door now black Chinese medicine, is the money is stupid, brainless
This is actually a very, very big issue, and as for the intellectually challenged Chinese medicine hacks, let's not get into that. Chinese medicine is very profound, but it's understandable that it's been neglected for a while because it's impossible to understand and quantify it with the technology of the past. As for how profound it is, we can't say it in a few sentences, but the fact that it has been emphasized in developed countries for a long time already shows that it's ridiculous for us to be questioning Chinese medicine. Now, let's focus on the issue of Western medicine. The so-called Western medicine didn't come out of thin air from the West, the Western countries used similar methods of Chinese medicine in ancient times, but it is only much more backward and crude compared to Chinese medicine in China. Modern Western medicine originated in the control of infectious diseases, developed in anatomy, modern biomedicine and chemistry, and although it can control the symptoms of disease, it does lack a holistic view. Instead of treating, it is better to intervene so that the disease does not deteriorate as quickly, and sometimes the problem is solved when the person's self-healing ability comes to an end. Unfortunately, in many cases, Western medicine fails to truly address the source of the disease, and is always playing games, and the side effects of Western medicines are sometimes a bit of a downer, and I won't go into that here.
Therefore, the only areas of modern Western medicine that will not be eliminated in the future are surgery (not all surgeries are necessary and effective, many times they are stopgap measures or even drugs that only seem to solve the problem on the surface), obstetrics and gynecology, dentistry, pediatrics, first aid, and other areas. Moreover, Western medicine has been gradually developing in the direction of modern biotechnology through genetic technology, cellular nutrition, stem cell technology, interferon, nanorobotics, non-invasive, rapid and accurate testing, and other technologies, and at the same time, there is also a tendency to merge with traditional Chinese medicine. However, an industry and social service involves a series of political, industrial, and social fields, and sometimes the whole body will be affected by one hair, and the cost or scarcity of resources of biological health care, the high cost of new technologies at the initial stage makes it difficult to popularize them, and the objective situation of the cheaters and the general public's ignorance is easy to be deceived (fooling people, including some well-known companies - such as the United States of America's a certain profit, the use of semi-chemical supplements posing as natural in China for more than 20 years), and the use of natural products. China has been fooled for more than 20 years, but few people know about good companies and good things), the influence of vested interests in the medical industry on politics, and the fact that hospitals have to be maintained even if they are not good enough, in addition to having to serve a large number of the general public and provide a sense of security, in the event of wars, disasters, and infectious diseases, the outbreaks of which the current health care system is unable to cope with. In the event of an outbreak of a war, disaster, or infectious disease, the current medical system will not be able to cope.
In short it's not a simple question. People with comprehensive information can pretty much do without relying on hospitals when it comes to their health but the vast majority of people can't. Politics, society, industry, and a host of other reasons prevent the modern healthcare system from being immediately upgraded to its ideal state, and Chinese medicine itself needs to continue to be iterated through modern technology. In fact, there are a number of companies, both domestic and foreign, that have already made great advances, and there are people who have benefited from them, but interestingly enough, a lot of the things that most people know are really God knows what, and that's one of the reasons why the current healthcare system can't be iterated upon.
Lastly, I would like to list some of the world's leading biotech companies that I currently have at my disposal. USA Yosanna Nu Skin Melaleuca Shaklee Kiani Putian Deng ......; Canada ANC Bodybuilding ......; China Tongrentang Quanjian Jiuzhitang ....... I myself Whether it's a viral or bacterial cold, as long as it's just the first signs or acute gastroenteritis, I don't need Western medicine, much less an IV, costing no more than 20 bucks and resolving in a few hours.
