The difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine

Nowadays, more and more people start to believe in TCM in China and know that TCM can bring health to people. So, they ask the TCM doctors: What kind of medicine should I take to recover from this disease? Chinese medicine practitioners are most afraid of such questions and don't know how to reply.

Most people think that if they get sick, they must take medicine; once they take medicine, they must get well. If they don't get well after taking the medicine, they will think to find the right person and take the right medicine. A true TCM practitioner does not first make the patient take medicine but first finds the cause of the illness and adjusts according to that cause, thus changing the result.

People get sick mainly because of the lack of proper health concepts. Therefore, when we have a disease in our body, we first do not find medicine but adjust the concept and our habits.

When you are sick, seeing a Western doctor is called cure, and seeing a TCM doctor is called recovery. Why are 2 different words used to address the same illness?

1. The difference between Western medical cures and Chinese medical recuperation:

Suppose I have 11 fish in a pond; whether the fish are raised well or not, the vast majority is related to the water quality. One day, the water was too dirty, and a blackfish got sick. Someone suggested: cure this blackfish; you have to sprinkle the pond with drugs. Can we think about it? What will happen to the other 10 healthy fish? Would it be good or bad for them?

I'm sure everyone knows the other fish will die if you put medicine in the pond. By the same token, when you take various medications for a cold, a cough, allergies, diabetes, or sleeplessness, do other healthy organs suffer?

The answer is obvious. You will find that the instructions clearly state the side effects, such as this drug hurts the liver, stomach and heart; with the fish pond sprinkled with drugs, the other fish, followed by bad luck, is the same reason.

When the water is dirty, and there are problems with the fish inside the pond, and you want to solve these fish problems completely, there are 3 ways. How would you choose?

1. Sprinkle the fish pond with medicine.

2. Throwing away problematic fish from the pond.

3. Change the water to the fish pond.

We all choose to change the water. The problem lies in the water quality, and only water changes can solve the problem of all the fish inside the pond.

Speaking of this, friends will understand the difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine: Western medicine treatment is to the fish pond sprinkled with drugs, throwing fish, such as eating a large variety of anti-inflammatory drugs, hypertension particular drugs, heart disease special drugs, or surgery to cut the bile, cut the stomach, cut the uterus; Chinese medicine conditioning is in the fish pond to change the water, conditioning the environment in the fish pond, equivalent to conditioning the body, conditioning the internal causes of disease.

Why do I tell you that are 11 fish in the pond, not 10 or 12? The internal organs of our body add up to 11, called the five Zang-organs and six Fu-organs in Chinese. The water quality determines the health of the fish, and the health of our internal organs is determined by what? Qi and Blood make the majority of the decisions. When the Qi and Blood are smooth, the body will be healthy.

When we go to the hospital for a physical examination, the first thing is a blood test. Then, the blood indicators tell you whether the liver function is good, kidney function is good, pancreatic function is good, etc. High aminotransferase means inadequate liver function; high creatinine means terrible kidneys and high blood sugar means a lousy pancreas. These seemingly esoteric terms, such as transaminases, creatinine, and blood sugar, are, in the eyes of Chinese medicine, all blood waste and are called blood stasis. When we go for a blood test, we measure the amount of garbage in the Blood.

How does modern medicine address this garbage?

If blood sugar is high, you should take insulin to lower the sugar; you should not think that the sugar in the Blood can disappear out of thin air. Drugs can't take the blood sugar in the Blood another way to precipitate to the bottom of the foot. So, after a decade of taking glucose-lowering drugs, your feet are going to swell up, they're going to ulcerate, and they're even going to be amputated.

Then there is hypertension. With the increase of garbage in the Blood, the blood vessel wall pressure will increase, leading to high blood pressure. Modern medicine will let the patient take antihypertensive drugs; the essence of antihypertensive drugs is to dilate blood vessels. The pressure becomes smaller once the blood vessels are dilated, and blood pressure data quickly down, but it only has a two-hour statute of limitations. Therefore, antihypertensive drugs can only be temporarily effective, control blood pressure, have take long-term medication.

Let's not say that antihypertensive drugs hurt the liver, stomach and kidneys; antihypertensive drugs are harmful to the blood vessels themselves; blood vessels are forced to expand by external forces for a long time, they become very fragile, and a slight situation will rupture, bringing irreversible damage to people.

Western medicine recognizes blood waste, classifies it, and treats it accordingly. However, Western medicine only deals with garbage and only cares about the source where the garbage is generated. The source of blood waste is in the liver, the kidneys, and the heart, but Western medicine does not have a medicine that restores liver function, kidney function, or heart function.

On the other hand, Western medicine brings new problems while dealing with this garbage. Lowering sugar, creatinine, and blood lipids all cost the body. Because these drugs themselves are chemicals, they undergo chemical reactions in the body. Substances do not disappear out of thin air; the end product of these chemical changes is still garbage. What appears to be garbage cleanup will turn into other garbage. Any chemical you eat relies on the liver and kidneys to detoxify; if not, out will remain in the body in the form of new garbage, resulting in the liver and kidney burden instead of more.

Above, talking to you about the logical thinking of Western medicine to solve the problem; if you use a word to summarize it, it is controlled. Control what? Control the indicators, control the symptoms.

Let's look at the TCM way of thinking about the disease.

High blood lipids in the Blood, the TCM practitioner will tell you to adjust your diet and rest to enhance the liver and gallbladder's function of purifying the Blood. On the one hand, reducing garbage import enhances the degradation ability of garbage and high blood sugar by enhancing the transportation ability of the spleen to break down sugar and high blood pressure. TCM practitioners will reduce blood pressure garbage and unclog blood vessels so that the pressure of blood vessel walls will naturally drop; high creatinine, TCM practitioners will strengthen the kidneys to promote water, drain uric acid protein from the urine so that garbage will not flow back into the Blood. Thus, the indicator will drop, and the body will recover.

The thinking of TCM is that it doesn't care which indicator you have high or even care about the specific indicator. TCM always does only one thing, and that is to restore balance:

• The balance of Yin and Yang
• The balance of Import and Export
• The balance of Up and Down
• The balance of Cold and Heat
• The balance of Qi and Blood
• The balance of Body and Spirit

When your body is in balance, it is healthy. We ultimately want health, and the way to health is just 1 word: balance.

If we sum up the thinking of TCM in addressing the disease with 2 words, that is, restoring balance.

2. Western medicine speaks of professionalism, and Chinese medicine speaks of direction

At present, Western medicine looks very professional with all kinds of examination instruments. In contrast, Chinese medicine, on the other hand, does not look professional at all, so many people feel that Chinese medicine has not kept up with the development of the times and is outdated. In fact, on the contrary, Chinese medicine is not behind the times but ahead of the times, and today's science and technology still cannot understand the wisdom of Chinese medicine.

Western medicine is about specialization, while Chinese medicine is more about direction. What do you mean by specialization? It is a division of a whole into fragments, and the whole is lost after the division. Why does Western medicine need to be divided into specialities? It is because it reflects its professionalism. Western medicine makes the disease more and more complex; a doctor can not study so many diseases, only can study one disease. Because of this, the cure for stomach disease leads to kidney disease, and the cure for kidney disease leads to liver disease, and so forth.

When you see a TCM doctor, no matter which of your indicators are positive or negative, analyze them according to your symptoms, know where the imbalance is, and then regulate it. Therefore, Chinese medicine is a general practice and can regulate any disease.

I analyze the difference between Chinese and Western medicine with you, not intentionally in a derogatory way.

Western medicine has its advantages; it has unique advantages in surgery, resuscitation and emergency. Western medicine is to save lives and help the injured, and keep people at the morgue's door. Chinese medicine is more to help our people become healthier is to help us live better and live longer.

Let's make a hypothesis: If we can all have the correct concept of health, we can all understand some Chinese medicine, many minor illnesses are not necessary to go to the hospital, and hospital resources are set aside to do the work of saving lives and helping the injured.

3. How to be a healthy person?

There are 3 key steps.

The first step is to change the concept. Many people like to say: I have seen dozens of specialists who can not cure this disease and have been resistant to drugs; Chinese medicine can be adjusted to cure. If you can't even understand how to adjust and cure, then there is nothing you can do.

The body has a disease but only thinks of looking for medicine to eat, not to find the cause in its own body; the reason is not found: eating a lifetime of medicine can bring the body back to health. Health is never in the hospital; health is not in the doctor; health can only rely on yourself.

People who understand this are either already healthy or on their way to being healthy.

The second step is to change bad habits. Why is the water in the fish pond dirty? It's you who throws garbage into the pond every day. So, if you want to improve water quality, do you have to stop throwing garbage? Do you have to change your bad habits? What bad habits do you have in your life? You have to start adjusting now.

The third step is to use the appropriate method to adhere to the conditioning. Some people say that Chinese medicine is slow; thinking about it: you have been throwing garbage in your pond for decades, now use a few months to clean up the garbage inside the pond with the ideas of Chinese medicine; slow? Diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, taking Western medicine to control the indicators fast, need to take drugs for life can not stop, can not completely solve the problem, really fast? The difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine

Nowadays, more and more people have started to believe in TCM in China and know that TCM can bring health to people. So, they like to ask the TCM doctors: What kind of medicine should I take to recover from this disease? Chinese medicine practitioners are most afraid of such questions and don't know how to reply.

Most people think that if they get sick, they have to take medicine. Once taking medication, they have to get well. If they don't get well after taking medicine, then they will think to find the right person and take the proper treatment. A true TCM practitioner will first see the cause of the illness and adjust according to that cause, thus changing the result.

People get sick mainly because of the lack of proper health concepts. Therefore, when we have a disease in our body, the first thing we do is not to find medicine but to adjust our ideas and adjust our habits.

I'm sure everyone knows the other fish will go down if you put medicine in the pond. By the same token, when you take various medications for a cold, a cough, allergies, diabetes, or sleeplessness, do other healthy organs suffer?

The answer is obvious. You will find that the instructions have written the side effects clearly, such as this drug hurts the liver, stomach and heart ...; with the fish pond sprinkled with drugs, the other fish, followed by bad luck, is the same reason.

When we go to the hospital for a physical examination, the first thing is a blood test. Then, the blood indicators tell you whether the liver function is good, kidney function is good, pancreatic function is good, etc. It's heard that high aminotransferase means impaired liver function, high creatinine means deficient kidneys, and high blood sugar means lousy pancreas. 

In the eyes of Chinese medicine, these seemingly esoteric terms, such as transaminases, creatinine, and blood sugar, are all blood waste and are called blood stasis. When we go for a blood test, we measure the amount of garbage in the Blood.

When your body is in balance, it is healthy. We ultimately want health, and the way to health is one word: balance.

It sums up the thinking of TCM in addressing the disease with two words: restoring balance.

2. Western medicine speaks of professionalism, and Chinese medicine says of direction

Western medicine looks very professional with all kinds of examination instruments. In contrast, Chinese medicine, on the other hand, looks unprofessional. So many people feel that Chinese medicine has yet to keep up with the development of the times and needs to be updated. In fact, on the contrary, Chinese medicine is not behind the times but ahead of the times, and today's science and technology still cannot understand the wisdom of Chinese medicine.

Western medicine talks about specialization, while Chinese medicine is more about direction. What do you mean by profession? It is a division of a whole into fragments, and the total is lost after the division. Why does Western medicine need to be divided into specialities? It is because it reflects its professionalism. Western medicine makes the disease more complex; a doctor can not study so many conditions; only one can learn about one disease. Because of this, the cure for stomach disease leads to kidney disease, and the treatment for kidney disease leads to liver disease, and so forth.

When you see a TCM doctor, no matter which of your positive or negative indicators, analyze them according to your symptoms, know where the imbalance is, and then regulate it. Therefore, Chinese medicine is a general practice and can handle any disease.

I analyze the difference between Chinese and Western medicine with you, not intentionally in a derogatory way.

Western medicine has its advantages, and Western medicine has its unique advantages in surgery, resuscitation and emergency. Western medicine is to save lives and help the injured, keeping people at the morgue's door. Chinese medicine is more to help our people be healthier; it is to help us live better and longer.

3. How to be a healthy person?

There are three key steps.

The first step is to change the concept. Many people say: I have seen dozens of specialists who can not cure this disease and have been resistant to drugs; can TCM cure me? If you need help understanding what I say in this article, then there is nothing you can do.

You have a disease in your body but want to find medicine instead of looking for the reason yourself. Suppose you can't find the cause. Can taking medication for a lifetime restore your body to health? Health is never in the hospital; health is not in the doctor; health can only depend on yourself.

People who understand this are either already healthy or on their way to being healthy.

The second step is to change bad habits. Why is the water in the fish pond dirty? It's you who throws garbage into the pond every day. So, if you want to improve water quality, do you have to stop chucking garbage? Do you have to change your bad habits? What bad habits do you have in your life? You have to start adjusting now.

The third step is to use the appropriate method to adhere to the conditioning. Some people say that traditional Chinese medicine is slow. Think about it: You have thrown garbage in your pond for decades, and now it takes a few months to clean up the trash in the pond with the ideas of traditional Chinese medicine. Is it prolonged? Diabetes, high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and taking Western medicine is only to control the indicators quickly. But you need to take medicine for a lifetime and can't stop, can't completely solve the problem. Is it fast?
