Do TCM and Western medicine need to be combined? How can TCM and Western medicine be combined?
Admittedly, there is nothing wrong with combining TCM and Western medicine, the key is how you want to combine them. Throughout our current many well-known clinical experts, and even academicians are doing a huge topic of Chinese medicine and Western medicine, such as coming up with a few clinically reliable Chinese medicine or a few formulas, and then organize some rats, to give them to eat, and finally propose the tissue of interest, using modern molecular biology methods to study and verify, etc. … … of course these methods may be impeccable. …Of course these methods may be impeccable, but once used on people may be ineffective again?
Diabetes experts have pointed out: the current combination of Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of diabetes can be in three aspects of efforts: —— two is based on the principles of Chinese medicine identification, flexible absorption of previous pharmacological research results. The Chinese medicine with significant hypoglycemic effect is screened out by pharmacological research. ——- Then I would like to ask: can Chinese medicine lower blood creatinine? Can Chinese medicine treat uremia? Maybe some people say no problem, ate my soup medicine, blood creatinine dropped more than 100 within a week, then I say, on the one hand, may be urgent; you may not believe, oh, he is slow, the kidneys are small. Then I said blood pressure control down, blood creatinine will also drop a lot, come to us to see patients with chronic renal failure not many blood pressure control is good. Secondly, you use laxatives such as rhubarb, of course, the effect of colon dialysis, blood creatinine will also drop. And again, Chinese medicine to lower blood sugar, yes, many pharmacological experiments found such as white tiger plus ginseng soup has a hypoglycemic effect, Huanglian has a hypoglycemic effect, so some people began to eat Huangliansu, Western medicine and insulin are not used. I do not agree with this approach, Chinese medicine to reduce sugar side effects are less than insulin, the efficacy may not be as good as sulfonylurea, and the dose is not good control. Develop Chinese medicine, research Chinese medicine, take the road of combining Chinese and Western medicine should not go this way, I remember last year in the leadership of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Chinese medicine organized at all levels of district and municipal level scientific research meeting, I stood up to speak had said: now the academicians of Western medicine are engaged in experiments on Chinese medicine rats, we Chinese hospitals are also following behind to do, in fact, both blind and wrong, we can take advantage of our strengths to do real Chinese medicine research and clinical. Then we should start with the dialectical evidence of Chinese medicine, for example, to engage in the research of diabetes, completely starting from the symptoms, strong and solid form, obesity, diarrhea, red tongue and number of veins. The heat in the lung, heat congestion lung can be asthma, heat forced large intestine can be diarrhea, Ge Gen Scutellaria Tang every use of effective; body thinning, cold, like warm, diarrhea, or dilute water stool, light tongue and thin pulse, Li Zhong Tang or with surface evidence of Gui Zhi Ginseng Tang effective; such as thin, cold, like warm, dry stool, abdominal distension and dull, Fu Ling drink repeatedly used no ineffective. Such and such research, clinical symptoms found to be relieved, blood glucose fell, patients feel good about themselves, why do we have to focus on Chinese medicine to lower blood glucose to study it? I treat patients with chronic renal failure in the clinic, basically not affected by his blood creatinine, of course I mean patients who do not have to go to dialysis, I completely go to solve his nausea, vomiting; headache, dizziness; dry mouth, thirst or sweating and other symptoms, Xiao Chai Hu Tang, Wu Zhu Yu Tang, Feng Lao’s Chai Gui Jiang Tang plus Angelica Paeonia San is often used, as for the blood creatinine you have to let me give you how much to reduce, then I said I may not be able to Do get, but the patient’s symptoms are indeed very relieved, stools normalized, sweating reduced, nausea and vomiting disappeared, blood creatinine stabilized —- on this basis and then to observe the improvement of biochemical indicators, rather than start to bite the indicators do not release.
The combination of Chinese and Western medicine exactly how to develop, some people think to cultivate pure Chinese medicine, that is, Western medicine is not too good, I say not right. To develop Chinese medicine, the foundation of Western medicine must be good, only then you may know the shortcomings of Western medicine and the strengths of Chinese medicine. The development of Chinese and Western medicine combined I think we should go to the training of Chinese medicine and Western medicine are great clinical people, then you say it is impossible, I say not, the two complement each other. For example, a uremic patient, the kidneys have atrophied, blood creatinine more than 1000, then I certainly do not go to hold the Chinese medicine to him to eat, let him go to the drainage of a mess; and clinical thinking I do not think the patient urinary tract infection must go to diuresis and dampness, the week before last to see a gonorrhea patients, eat more than pay Chinese medicine, q Cun, Qu Mai, Shu Di, yam, etc. ineffective, consultation found that the patient has a mouth ulcer stretched A young patient with hyperthyroidism, refusing to take western medicine, frequent urination, sweating, palpitations and diarrhea, was given Gui Zhi plus Long Bone Oyster Soup with Radix et Rhizoma, i.e., two plus Long Bone Oyster Soup for 2 weeks, with obvious relief of symptoms.
