Before the invention of antibiotics, TCM was not as effective as Western medicine in treating febrile, infectious, and contagious diseases. Since the invention of antibiotics, it is true that the efficacy of Chinese medicine is better than that of Chinese medicine for bacterial infectious diseases, but for viral infectious diseases, Chinese medicine is still far ahead. Some people think that after the introduction of penicillin, the use of Chinese medicine for pneumonia has become obsolete, which is debatable. Theoretically, pathogenic bacteria are the causative agents of pneumonia, and the use of antibiotics is to destroy the pathogenic bacteria and remove the source of the disease. This is the disadvantage of antibiotics, and even called toxic side effects. The reason why western medicine is used for pneumonia in the elderly is that it is often not effective, because of old age and weakness. The reason for this is that they are old and weak. Western medicine has supportive therapies, but there is no set of theories to guide them to support the righteous and dispel the evil. For example, if a child has a fever, repeated use of antibiotics, although the fever subsides, but the body is weaker than once. Antibiotics have caused a lot of deaf children, and caused many other complications and sequelae. As bacteria are resistant, antibiotics are constantly being updated, the antibacterial power is increasing, and the suppression of the body’s positive energy is getting stronger and stronger, which is a cause for concern. The company’s main goal is to provide a comprehensive range of products and services to the public. U.S. doctors and federal health department officials are concerned that human abuse of antibiotics may cause the emergence of “superbugs”. Most hospitals in China are currently using the latest and most expensive imported antibiotics as a fashionable and standard choice! It’s really sad that foreign drug dealers are clapping their hands! The most expensive and latest imported antibiotics will definitely solve the problem of bacterial infections? I recently consulted in the school attached to the second hospital: a middle-aged patient, heart valve lesions, ready for surgery, but the patient first fever, followed by hemiplegia, the routine use of the latest antibiotics has been many days, the fever does not decrease, the patient’s physical condition is getting weaker, the family had intended to give up treatment. I treated the patient’s brain with oral Chinese medicine to benefit Qi and invigorate Blood, and treated his fever with 2 tablets of Zijin Ingot melted and frozen to preserve the enema, the antibiotic treatment remained unchanged, but the patient’s body temperature decreased day by day, and the body temperature was close to normal after 6 enemas. Half a month later, the patient’s fever subsided and the hemiplegia was removed, and his mental outlook was different before and after. In July this year, a patient with high fever, Fu Mou, female, 72 years old, was consulted in a large hospital. She had osteoarthritis of both knees and had fever after surface replacement, with a temperature between 38℃ and 39.4℃ for 16 days. Western medical colleagues claimed that the latest and most expensive antibiotics were used, but still could not bring the body temperature down to below 38℃. He was not treated with heat-clearing and damp-eliminating drugs for 2 days, with a light red tongue, yellow and black moss (dyed moss), floating and tight pulse on the right, and weakness on heavy pressure. No sweating, cold chills, high fever, body temperature 39.1℃. On the evening of July 9, he was given a sweet-warm method to remove heat, using the method of tonifying Zhong Yi Qi Tang, prescription: Astragalus membranaceus 15g, Atractylodes macrocephala 12g, Radix et Rhizoma prunus 30g, Radix et Rhizoma Chai Hu, Radix et Rhizoma Shengma, Radix Angelicae Sinensis 10g each, Pericarpium Citri Reticulata 5g, Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhiza Glabra 6g. On July 10, he was given 2 doses of the above, divided into morning and afternoon. July 11 pulse 85 times / min (after surgery pulse continued 110-120 times / min or so) spirit turned better. Continued to give the above plus Wu Zha Long 30g, 1 dose each morning and afternoon. After taking the medicine, the body temperature fluctuated between 37℃-37.4℃, the spirit turned better, the cough decreased, the pulse was weak and sometimes knotted, the appetite gradually improved. The patient still suffered from redness, swelling, heat and pain in both knee joints, which gradually healed in 1 month with the continued use of Chinese and Western medicine. In this case, if we do not supplement his vital energy, he will die of exhaustion due to the high fever and the suppression of vital energy by western medicine. The efficacy of Chinese medicine achieved in this case was recognized by the attending Western medical colleagues. I am not opposed to the use of Chinese medicine with the help of antibiotics when necessary. The principle of using Western medicine should be adopted according to the principle of being Chinese and not Western, and the theory of Chinese medicine should still be used as a guide while using Western medicine. You should never use Western medical theory to guide the use of Chinese medicine. What does it mean to use Chinese medicine guided by Western medical theory? Let me give you an example. Recently, I consulted a middle-aged patient with facial nerve palsy and left-sided facial paralysis. The attending physician used Zhanzheng San, but added a large amount of herbal medicines such as fishy grass. The reasoning was that it had to be “anti-inflammatory”, and the treatment was ineffective for nearly 10 days. I did not know that the cold is stagnant, the meridians are not smooth, how can it work? I was invited to the consultation, I still use the hold Zheng San plus or minus, which to the wind easy white sapodilla, heavy use of astragalus and other beneficial drugs, taking medicine for 1 week crooked people get right. This case is enough to prove that know its formula and ignore the theory of Chinese medicine, not flexible and adaptable, so the effect is also difficult, although effective is not ideal. When it comes to the theory of Chinese medicine, for the treatment of febrile, epidemic and infectious diseases, the doctrine of typhoid and warmth is often our guiding light. Or penetrate the wind outside the heat, or penetrate the dampness under the heat, not to fight with the heat, the potential will be lonely. This is the most sensible words, is the lack of Western medicine germ doctrine. The above-mentioned “heat” is the main cause of disease (can be seen as bacteria and other disease-causing substances), not only pay attention to clearing heat, but also pay attention to the “wind”. Wind and cold, the causative factors, are often ignored by Western medicine, which focuses on sterilization to reduce inflammation, not knowing the importance of relieving the surface so that the evil has a way out. Similarly, “penetrating dampness” is to make the toxins caused by bacteria go away from the urine. The upper part of the body is to penetrate the wind, and the lower part is to penetrate the dampness so that the evil is isolated and the bacteria have no environment to live in, and the patient’s vitality is more easily restored. Why is it that after antibiotics are used to reduce fever, even though there are no obvious side effects, the patient is still mentally weak, tired and weak, and has poor appetite. This is the reason why, with the use of Chinese herbal medicine, the body heat decreases and the spirit is restored. Chinese physicians have learned the “inflammation” theory of Western medicine, often forgetting that the treatment of febrile diseases, and the doctrine of typhoid. Whenever a febrile illness occurs, the first thing to consider is antibiotics, not knowing that “Gui Zhi Tang evidence” and “Ma Huang Tang evidence” can never be removed by antibiotics. Why are foreign countries so afraid of influenza? Because they only have antibiotics and no mature antiviral drugs. Especially in the case of “Xiao Chai Hu Tang”, it is very difficult to treat with Western medicine, but 3 doses of Xiao Chai Hu Tang can be effective. I have consulted on such evidence, often to the surprise of fellow Western physicians. A month ago, an old friend was hospitalized with a lung infection and was treated with the latest and most expensive antibiotics for several days, but the fever subsided and the coughing and wheezing became worse. The friend, who is very sick, often seeks my treatment, so he called me this time and, through consultation, gave me an oral prescription: Gui Zhi Tang combined with San Zi Nourishing Parent Soup. The friend’s body is cold, and the use of various antibiotics has suppressed the positive energy, so the surface evil cannot be relieved outside, so Gui Zhi Tang is used; the wheezing is also due to cold phlegm, so San Zi Nourishing Relatives Tang is used. He was cured by 8 doses of medicine. The Chinese hospital should be the base for the development of Chinese medicine, must not lose Chinese medicine, do not think that there are antibiotics, it can be used as well. Due to the resistance of bacteria, the more new antibiotics, the more expensive, more than a thousand dollars a day, not our economy can afford the average person, not to mention the obvious side effects. At this time is the time to play the advantages of Chinese medicine, take up the weapons of “typhoid” and “warm medicine”, bold and careful to practice, using Chinese medicine to replace antibiotics, both to reduce the burden of patients, but also to reduce the side effects after the drug. This is a challenge, but also an opportunity for the development of Chinese medicine. Recently there is Shuanghuanglian injection, which is said to be effective. I believe it can be done if we work hard on clinical research and dosage form reform to make the treatment of bacterial infectious diseases, leading the world medical forest again.
