How to see a Chinese doctor? I believe many people say they don’t understand. In real life there are two extreme attitudes in looking at TCM, the first is that TCM cures all diseases, or TCM has miraculous treatment effects. This situation is mostly seen in advertisements and traveling doctors, over-exaggerating the therapeutic effects of TCM, leading to patients being duped! The second situation is to look at TCM with the eyes of Western medicine, believing that TCM is not scientific, and some people even shout to abolish TCM. Obviously, these two attitudes are not right! We are not going to discuss the history of TCM here, nor are we going to expand on the theories of TCM, just the facts! Chinese medicine has a history of thousands of years in our country, and, every day now, thousands of patients at home and abroad are being treated by Chinese medicine, and the efficacy of these treated patients is certain, right! So how to choose Chinese medicine treatment? The first depends on what kind of disease it is, for example, early gastric cancer, surgery is very effective and surgery is preferred. It is much more difficult to kill all the stomach cancer cells with Chinese medicine than surgical removal! But after surgery, the patient does not eat well and has no energy, what can Western medicine do? Chinese medicine has solutions, such as strengthening the spleen and appetite, benefiting qi and replenishing blood, etc. Chinese medicine can be used to regulate the patient and promote recovery! Secondly, different TCM treatments are chosen for different periods, or take gastric cancer patients as an example. After surgery, the main treatment should be toning and supplementation, so that the patient can recover as soon as possible. During chemotherapy, TCM should focus on treating the side effects caused by chemotherapy, so that patients can reduce chemotherapy reactions, increase chemotherapy efficacy and complete chemotherapy on schedule. After chemotherapy is finished, the main focus should be to support the righteousness and dispel the evil, to reduce the recurrence and metastasis of tumor, and to strive to prolong the survival of the patient. Only by choosing the right treatment at the right time can we get a good treatment effect!
