In fact, the dispute between Chinese and Western medical practitioners is really an unnecessary one, and there is no advantage or disadvantage, just like the comparison between landscape painting and oil painting, between Buddhism and Catholicism, between coffee and tea, and between mathematicians and poets. Believe in Western medicine, Western medicine is the crystallization of science, and Chinese medicine is a metaphysical superstition. Or that Chinese medicine may be effective, but the medical theory is fabricated and far-fetched words, and some even say that Chinese medicine is only a placebo, which really equates the thousands of years of exploration of Chinese medicine with the primitive tribes’ worship of the gods and prayers. In modern society, there are many diseases that Western medicine is explicitly said to be incurable, while Chinese medicine has obvious curative effects, which is also an indisputable fact. Zhang Zengfeng, Department of Surgery, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine In fact, the dispute between TCM and Western medicine is really an unnecessary dispute, and there is no superiority or inferiority, just like landscape painting and oil painting, Buddhism and Catholicism, coffee and tea, mathematicians and poets, just different standards, and there is no superiority or inferiority. However, it is not good to mix the two together. Coffee and tea mixed together is sewage, Chinese painting and oil painting in the same place is graffiti, and it is difficult for mathematicians and poets to have a common language. Mathematicians and poets can hardly share a common language. Sometimes good things are more perfect together, but sometimes they destroy each other. Like Chinese medicine and Western medicine, their relationship should be that of comrades-in-arms who complement each other and show their respective capabilities, rather than that of husband and wife who are united by the pearl and the milk of the water. To give a practical example, for example, in the case of bronchitis, Western medicine advocates anti-inflammatory measures to stop coughing, while Chinese medicine advocates the promotion of the lungs and the elimination of phlegm. First let the Western medical treatment, the symptoms are quickly eliminated, but then recur, can not go to the root; please Chinese medicine to adjust, the body indeed enhanced, but the symptoms are difficult to eliminate, and finally into the old chronic bronchitis. Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are all afraid, so there is an old saying that “internal medicine does not treat asthma”. A house full of garbage attracts countless flies. Western doctors say, I have a special insecticide, as long as a spray, flies immediately be eliminated. As expected, the doctor took the spray gun and after a while, the flies were wiped out, but the doctor did not care about removing the garbage in the house; it did not take long for the flies to smell the garbage again, and there were more of them than the first time because the house was even dirtier. The Western medical practitioners came back to spray the medicine again, and after spraying, the flies were no longer afraid of the smell, so the Western medical practitioners had to surrender to the flies. The Chinese doctor said that the flies were attracted because there was too much garbage in the house, and once the garbage was removed, the flies would naturally not come back, so the house should be cleaned and the garbage removed first; and the flies should be left alone for the time being. After the Chinese medicine practitioner has cleaned up the house, the garbage is indeed less, but the flies are not less, because the flies are also reproducing, and even though there is less garbage, the existing garbage is enough for it to enjoy for a certain period of time, and the Chinese medicine practitioner is finally a little bit tired and annoyed, so he rests, and the flies are even more rampant. This is the root cause of chronic inflammatory diseases that cannot be cured. In fact, Chinese medicine practitioners and Western medicine practitioners can work in synergy and display their respective advantages. Western medicine can first spray drugs to kill all the flies, and Chinese medicine can immediately clean up the garbage, so that the flies do not have the environment and time to reproduce. One after the other, the disease can be cured very quickly, and the incurable disease will become easy to be cured. Rather, due to the gateway view, Chinese medicine and Western medicine are often incompatible with each other, or in opposition to each other. Tolerant doctors just do not oppose, but they do not cooperate with each other, so patients are always running between Chinese and Western medical practitioners and do not know what to do, so it is really easy to solve the obstacles, but difficult to get rid of the obstacles of reason. Therefore, the contradiction between Chinese and Western medical practitioners is a matter of human perception and has nothing to do with medicine itself.
