What are the misconceptions of TCM

Nowadays, we see a lot of advertisements claiming that it is an ancestral recipe that can cure all diseases. It is true that there are several diseases that can be completely cured nowadays? Can colds be cured? People get a cold more than once a year, and what we call “cure” in clinical work is “clinical cure”, not the so-called “cure”. Ancient people said: the top doctor does not treat the sick to cure the sick. The quintessential theory in the classic “Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine” is “prevention before illness, prevention after illness”. Therefore, Chinese medicine is a very important alternative and complementary therapy. It is true that if people look at TCM correctly and do not believe in the so-called “root removal” of TCM, naturally there will be no market for these advertisements. In addition, I have contacted many TCM doctors, and many of them are 80 and 90 years old, so how come they have no knowledge of Western medicine? It is common knowledge that women have low calcium due to reduced estrogen levels during menopause, so why is it okay for patients to take oral bone-strengthening capsules? Why not instruct the patient to take calcium supplements or go to the internal medicine department for consultation? I remember when I was in school, students of Chinese medicine schools studied both Chinese and Western medicine. There were also doctors who did not understand the medicinal properties at all and had patients take oral Chinese medicine for as little as a few months or as many as a year. I personally saw a TCM specialist who had a young girl take oral Chinese medicine to lose weight, and as a result, she had kidney failure in less than two years and is now on dialysis every day. I am here to advise patients that Chinese medicine is also medicine, medicine is three points of poison, the ancients said: in the disease that stop. I hope our modern Chinese physicians learn more about modern medicine so as not to mislead people! But I have to oppose the useless theory of Chinese medicine of Ark, in the clinical, I did apply Chinese medicine “clinical cure” a lot of patients, but also help many patients to achieve the purpose of prevention before the disease, so how to correctly look at and use Chinese medicine, how to play the strengths of Chinese medicine, popularize the knowledge of Chinese medicine, so that Only by doing so can we achieve the goal of curing diseases and saving lives.
