Under, Chinese medicine flavin

Chapter 57 0055 Interview

In the 80s, for some unknown reason, the integration of Chinese and Western medicine became the mainstream theory in the field of Chinese medicine. In the early 90s, the integration of Chinese and Western medicine was established as a new first-level discipline.

If we say that the integration of Chinese and Western medicine is an innovative exploration of the development of Chinese medicine.

This exploration was not considered a success, and it also brought great harm to Chinese medicine, which made Chinese medicine lose more of its right to speak, and let those people extend their tentacles into the teaching of Chinese medicine, changing the education of Chinese medicine beyond recognition.

Huang Su brought her thoughts on the combination of Chinese and Western medicine in her previous life, and replied: "The combination of Chinese and Western medicine sounds very good, but people are not classified as mentally ill. If you can hold two theories in your head and switch freely, there will inevitably be a distinction between primary and secondary. Simple and easy to understand, they are more likely to become dominant, because they are formatted, and how to treat that kind of disease has already listed rules and regulations, just like a formula."

"Traditional Chinese medicine is an essay topic. It needs to analyze the causes and pathogenesis of the disease in depth based on the four diagnosis and the known conditions of the patient's symptoms, and distinguish the deficiency, excess, cold and heat of the five internal organs, so as to prescribe the medicine for the syndrome. Very demanding."

"And this choice of difficulty and judgment has now been proven. Taking advantage of the trend of integrating Chinese and Western medicine to reform Chinese medicine education, the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine has increased the compulsory course hours of Western medicine, and some have increased by one-third. Medical schools that are prejudiced against Chinese medicine have even increased the number of Western medicine courses in the Department of Chinese Medicine by two-thirds, and the most absurd thing is that all classics of Chinese medicine have become elective courses.”

"If you don't believe me, you can investigate the graduates of TCM clinics and integrated TCM and Western medicine in recent years. They all don't know the four diagnostic methods of TCM. When the patients come, they will go to various Western medicine tests. Can the Western medicine tests detect cold, heat, wind and phlegm, or whether they can detect ups and downs? Ups and downs. Neither, but what traditional Chinese medicine relies on to treat diseases, it relies on the combination of four diagnostic methods and ginseng syndrome differentiation, the four qi and five flavors of traditional Chinese medicine and the ups and downs, ups and downs, and ups and downs to treat diseases."

"Now the doctors trained by the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine are all prescribing traditional Chinese medicine with Western medicine thinking, without distinguishing diseases and syndromes, and copying them mechanically. If you are lucky, you will have curative effect on the syndrome, but if you are not lucky, the more you cure, the worse it will be."

"So Chinese and Western medicine is not a combination, but a cooperation. Both sides use their respective theories and give full play to their respective strengths to treat patients together. If the combination of Chinese and Western medicine is necessary, I advocate further education for in-service doctors."

Reporter Xu’s eyes shone with shrewdness, feeling that he had caught the topic, and hurriedly asked: “But Chinese medicine has no evidence to prove the scientific nature of Chinese medicine theory, let alone the existence of yin and yang and five elements. Does Chinese medicine accept the reform of modern medical science? Is there something wrong?"

"It's not reform, it's assimilation, it's elimination. When it comes to the integration of Chinese and Western medicine, shouldn't it be for both sides? But I only see Chinese medicine combined with Western medicine, but I don't see Western medicine combined with Chinese medicine. I only see that modern medicine is compulsory for clinical majors of Chinese medicine. However, there is not a single medical school with a TCM department in Western medicine clinics. A Chinese doctor who can’t make pulse and tongue diagnosis is still called a Chinese doctor. The fundamental reason is that there is prejudice against Chinese medicine, which is believed to be unscientific.”

Huang Su continued: "Since Watt invented the steam engine in 1776, modern science has only developed for a few hundred years. During these hundreds of years of development, how many scientific theories were very scientific at that time, and proved to be true over time. Fallacy. Science itself develops by making mistakes and correcting mistakes, but you want to use science to explain everything in the world.”

"I'll tell you how to prove that Chinese medicine is scientific. The curative effect of patients is the most scientific proof. It does not involve anyone's subjective will. If it is effective, it is effective, and if it is invalid, it is invalid."

Reporter Xu continued to ask: "Director Huang, since you think that science cannot prove traditional Chinese medicine, but the so-called four qi and five flavors have ups and downs. How can Chinese medicine prove these things?"

"I still say that the curative effect is the best proof. In the case of this interview, the patient had postpartum hemorrhage after giving birth. Postpartum hemorrhage is called blood collapse in traditional Chinese medicine. The most commonly used one is aconite, using its power of raising yang to balance the downward trend of the disease." Huang Su gave an example.

Reporter Xu continued to retort: ​​"This is just the conclusion of traditional Chinese medicine based on conjecture based on experience. I even think that certain ingredients in herbal medicine have the effect of stopping bleeding. I think Chinese medicine should not be in touch with the so-called yin and yang, five elements, and four qi. Five flavors, ups and downs, we should explore and extract the real active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine."

Huang Su spread his hands and said with a helpless look: "You only believe what you think, but you don't believe what I say, so we can't continue to communicate at all."

Reporter Xu questioned as if I was the truth: "Aren't I right? At least the active ingredients are clearly visible, not as illusory as you said."

"Reporter Xu, since you said that becoming is clearly visible, I would like to ask you an angelica, what is the ingredient that makes the head of the angelica have the effect of attracting blood, nourishing the blood and stopping the bleeding, and what ingredient makes the body of the angelica have the effect of mediating Qi and blood, What ingredients make the tail of Angelica sinensis have the effect of breaking blood, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and what ingredients make Angelica sinensis have the effect of moving meridians and dredging collaterals. I also want to invite great scientists who are engaged in the analysis of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients to let me know. Which four ingredients make angelica so miraculous, the ingredients are distributed in the head, body, tail, and beard without interfering with each other. Maybe also test the difference in ingredients between floating wheat and wheat, so that one can be used for medicine, but the other can only fill the stomach .”

The continuous questioning made Reporter Xu speechless, and her little medical knowledge was only known through interviews.

There are such people now, and there will be more in the future. They have never opened a page in the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic and Treatise on Febrile Diseases, but they are there to point fingers at Chinese medicine.

Huang Su pursued the victory and said: "The four qi and five flavors are not illusory, they are also clearly visible. Plantago is a medicine with a strong taste of cold. It has the effects of clearing away heat and diuresis, removing dampness and eliminating phlegm. It is not suitable for patients with weak spleen and stomach, excessive dampness and phlegm. The solution to this medicine is to remove the coldness of the plantain seed itself by frying, and the pot wall will become wet during the cooking process. will get wet."

"If you don't believe me, reporter Xu can go back and try it for himself. I would like to ask reporter Xu that the psyllium is dry, and the pot is also dry. Where does the moisture come from? Maybe you said that there is moisture in the psyllium, please don't I doubt the dehydration process of traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years, and the drying and dehydration methods are different for different medicinal properties."

Reporter Xu continued to argue: "So what if you are cured, you are just a single case, and there is no evidence-based medicine to support it."

Evidence-based medicine is a trend that has been blowing up in recent years, and it has been regarded as the standard by modern medicine once it came out.

Coincidentally, in the same year that evidence-based medicine came out, the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine became a first-level discipline.Since then, one has become even more powerful, and the other has fallen into the quagmire.

Under the unscientific hat of traditional Chinese medicine, another hat of empirical medicine has been added. The prescriptions that have been verified by countless people for thousands of years have become the inheritance of experience.

The other party's reasons are also very good. What is the effective rate of your prescription for treating this disease?What is the cure rate?
Chinese medicine is based on syndrome differentiation and treatment, but Western medicine uses their standards of disease differentiation and treatment to require Chinese medicine to give clinical trial data. If you want to prove that you are evidence-based medicine, you must follow the rules of our Western medicine.

However, in traditional Chinese medicine, it is very common for the same disease to have different syndromes, or the same syndrome to have different diseases.

Huang Su smiled contemptuously: "Hehehe!... Evidence-based medicine."

Seeing Huang Su's contempt, reporter Xu asked: "Director Huang, do you not approve of evidence-based medicine?"

Huang Su said: "On the contrary, I think evidence-based medicine is very good, and the efficacy needs to be proved by evidence."

Reporter Xu's expression was very surprised. During such a long conversation, she could feel that although Huang Su did not dislike Western medicine, she was very disgusted with Western medicine's meddling with Chinese medicine. She thought Huang Su would belittle evidence-based medicine.

Huang Su’s next words broke reporter Xu’s fantasy: “Evidence-based medicine is good, and Chinese medicine should be used. I agree that evidence-based medicine of Chinese medicine should be based on evidence-based theory of Chinese medicine, instead of letting western medicine draw a frame in evidence-based medicine.” , Let Chinese medicine do the proposition composition according to the theory of Western medicine.”

"Let's take this medical case of postpartum hemorrhage as an example. In western medicine, as long as it is a female birth canal hemorrhage, it is a massive hemorrhage, and there is a set of fixed treatment methods, so it is easy to collect clinical evidence, and the evidence-based records are easy to collect."

"Traditional Chinese medicine treats different syndromes of blood metrorrhagia, which can be divided into Qi deficiency syndrome, blood heat syndrome, and blood stasis syndrome. The disease syndrome of the patient in the medical record is Qi deficiency syndrome. All our treatment methods are to strengthen the spleen and raise yang, and the treatment method for blood heat syndrome It clears heat and cools blood, and the treatment method for blood stasis syndrome is to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. However, you can’t follow the Western medicine’s method of differentiation and treatment, and you have to treat all types of blood metrorrhagia with prescriptions that invigorate the spleen and raise yang.”

"However, what should be the evidence-based medicine under the theory of traditional Chinese medicine? Blood metrorrhagia should be divided into Qi-deficiency syndrome group, blood-heat syndrome group, and blood-stasis syndrome group, and each group should demonstrate its own evidence, and each unify a standard prescription, and then record them separately. The cure rate and effective rate of each group of prescriptions are collected from clinical records to form evidence-based evidence."

Speaking of this, Huang Su paused for a moment, took a meaningful look at Reporter Xu, and said, "Reporter Xu, do you think my evidence-based medicine plan of traditional Chinese medicine will be recognized? I can tell you 100% not, because they The concepts of qi deficiency, blood heat, and blood stasis are not recognized at all. No matter how good the curative effect is, they will not recognize your theory."

"The right to speak in the Chinese medical field is in their hands, and they practice academic hegemony over Chinese medicine. In their thinking, I don't need your opinion, you must surrender to my opinion."

Reporter Xu asked with bright eyes: "Director Huang, who are you referring to?"

Huang Su said in embarrassment: "Reporter Xu, I really can't say this, it's easy to be blocked."

Although reporter Xu felt uncomfortable during the whole interview, she was shocked by Huang Su's last sentence, and saw unwillingness in Huang Su's eyes.

Reporter Xu looked at the watch on his wrist, and for the first time sincerely reached out to shake hands with Huang Su: "Director Huang, although we have slight differences, I am deeply impressed by your profound knowledge and understanding of the development of Chinese medicine. I am very glad to have chatted with you for so long, and I hope to have the opportunity to interview you in the future."

The most direct manifestation is that as long as it is Western medicine, no matter whether it is a cat or a dog, it has the right to comment on Chinese medicine. With the advent of the Internet age, Chinese medicine has become the biggest cancer in the medical field. The worst sinner in business.

All of them are people who have received more than ten years of education. Even middle school students understand the truth that knowing what you know and what you don’t know is knowing, but they don’t understand it.

This is the only time Reporter Xu used your honorific title in the entire interview.

Huang Su also took Reporter Xu's hand, and said very sincerely: "I also thank Reporter Xu for giving me a chance to say what I haven't said for a long time."

Three days later, in the morning.

Na Risong hurriedly opened the door and broke into the clinic of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, holding a newspaper in his hand and shouting excitedly: "Director, Director! You are in the newspaper."

Huang Su took the newspaper that Risong brought over and began to read it, and reporter Xu sent out the interview process without any changes.

After reading it, Huang Su put the newspaper on the table and let out a long sigh. She really hoped that more Chinese medicine practitioners could read this newspaper, but the Grassland Daily is a local newspaper after all.

For the first time, Huang Su felt that the stage in Grassland City was too small.

But I didn't know that two days later, Professor Chen Jingshan picked up his mobile phone to make a call, while looking at the Grassland Daily in his hand, he said triumphantly: "Old Sun, I sent you something. After reading it, you owe me one." Great favor."

After talking on the phone with Professor Sun Guizhi, Chen Jingshan endlessly flipped through the newspapers he had read countless times, with a gratified smile on his face.

Since the birth of evidence-based medicine, Chinese medicine has been exploring how to combine evidence-based medicine with the development of Chinese medicine. I did not expect my disciples to give such a standard answer.
