Volume 2 Chapter 283 Waste Medicine and Medicine
Of course, Zhuang Poshi on the stage will not be willing to let Du Lin be in the limelight alone,
"I think I want to correct it, I'm not completely denying your Chinese medicine, I'm still more convinced of Chinese medicine, for example, Nobel laureate Ms. Tu Youyou discovered pennyin. Modern biomolecular science has extracted scientifically proven active ingredients from many traditional Chinese medicines, which shows that traditional Chinese medicine still has certain merits, but that's all, except for those traditional Chinese medicines that have been proven to be effective, the rest is still garbage. β
"Really, do you mean 'waste medicine'?" said Du Lin with a wicked smile.
"Right...... Only...... It's just a waste of medicine and medicine!" Zhuang Poshi looked at Du Lin's smile, and his heart was a little furious.
In fact, Du Lin couldn't help but laugh, he originally planned to find a way to raise the topic of "waste medicine and medicine" from the beginning, and then refute this statement, but he didn't expect that he didn't mention it, but Zhuang Poshi took the initiative to send the topic to the door.
"Since Dr. Zhuang put forward the theory of discarding medicine and storing medicine, then I will give an example of waste medicine and medicine, there is a very practical recipe in the classic work of Chinese medicine "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", called Xiao Chai Hu Tang, which can treat many common diseases such as wind, heat and cold, loss of appetite, dry throat and bitter mouth, stomach distension and acid reflux, hangover and liver protection, menstrual irregularities, etc., it can be said that it is the most frequently used prescription in Chinese medicine clinically, there was once a Chinese medicine practitioner, who only used this one prescription in his life, and treated countless people ......"
"Oh my God!" Zhuang Poshi interrupted Du Lin with a loud shout, "Listen, everyone can use only this one prescription to cure diseases, this is not a deception, how can it be possible to use this one prescription to cure all diseases?"
"Can you please listen to me?" Du Lin glanced at Zhuang Poshi unhappily, "Xiao Chai Hu Tang was all the rage in the world in the mid-nineties of the last century, a pharmaceutical factory in the neon country happened to see Xiao Chai Hu Tang cured a liver disease patient in Huaxia, so it began to develop Xiao Chai Hu granules, and the health department of the neon country also specially organized experts to discuss the symptoms and confirm the effectiveness of Xiao Chai Hu granules for liver disease.
In 1994, in Japan and even around the world, millions of patients with liver disease took Xiao Chai Hu granules, which became the 'gospel' of liver disease patients, and this pharmaceutical company also became famous because of this drug and became one of the most famous pharmaceutical companies in neon factor.
But the good times did not last long, since 1996, dozens of patients with interstitial pneumonia appeared in the population taking this drug, and ten people died of this disease that year, and dozens of users said that after using this drug, the liver disease not only did not relieve, but became more serious.
In just two years, Xiao Chai Hu Granules' reputation has become stinky, and this neon national pharmaceutical company was sued by patients in court, and finally simply went out of business. β
"Hehe," Zhuang Poshi smiled, Du Lin is here to take the initiative to give away people's heads, "Are you telling everyone that not only Chinese medicine is a fraud, but even Chinese medicine is not safe?"
"No, I'm telling you that it is a fallacy to waste medicine and save medicine! Xiao Chai Hu Tang has a total of seven flavors, namely Bupleurum, Banxia, Codonopsis (ginseng), licorice, skullcap, ginger, and jujube.
I just want to say one thing, the reason why this prescription can treat all kinds of different diseases in the hands of an experienced Chinese medicine practitioner, but in the hands of the Neon people, it harms people, is because the medicine is wasted!"
Du Lin paused for a moment, giving everyone, especially the 40 foreigners, time to digest the meaning of this passage.
"An experienced Chinese medicine practitioner can adjust the dosage of these seven herbs according to the different specific symptoms, the severity of the symptoms, and the different physiques of the patients to achieve different therapeutic effects, which is called 'distinguishing symptoms'.
Generally speaking, it is the specific situation, specific analysis, and the difference between medications. If you just use the same ratio to dispense drugs simply and mechanically, not only is it difficult to guarantee the efficacy, but it will also kill people like that neon national pharmaceutical company.
Therefore, the essence of Chinese medicine is not in Chinese medicine, but in the person who prescribes the medicine, and the theory that the person who prescribes the medicine follows. β
"Ahem," Zhuang Poshi was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect that he would put forward the "waste medicine and save medicine", he thought it would be a very powerful argument, but he was caught by Du Lin, which proved that if you want to "save medicine", you can't "waste medicine".
He rolled his eyes, and then immediately said:
For example, I have heard of a prescription, I don't remember what specific medicine is in it, but I am impressed by the medicine primer -- you need a pair of original quails to cook together, everyone listen, is this too bizarre? It has to be the 'original match'! Who can know whether these two quails are the original match or the second marriage? If the medicine is not good to drink, can the responsibility be put on the quail?"
Du Lin smiled, "Don't you Western doctors have quack doctors? Do you dare to say that all of your Western doctors are divine doctors with noble medical ethics and superb medical skills?"
"This ......" Zhuang Poshi doesn't dare to play this insurance ticket, there are millions of Western doctors in the world, who dares to say that there are no quack liars?
"Medicine is a special existence in traditional Chinese medicine, a prescription often has 'Jun, Chen, Zuo, Make' four types of medicines, such as the small Chai Hu Tang just said, Bupleurum and Banxia are 'Jun', that is, the main active ingredients, Codonopsis, licorice, skullcap are 'Chen', play an auxiliary role, ginger, jujube is 'Zuo', is a more minor auxiliary medicinal material, it is best to take Xiao Chai Hu Tang with some brown sugar water, this brown sugar water is 'make', also called medicine Yin, because Bupleurum Banxia has a certain toxicity, and the medicinal properties are cold, brown sugar water can neutralize the toxicity and get rid of the cold, which is the role of medicine.
And the right medicine can sometimes play some magical roles, so I'll tell you a story of ancient Chinese medicine here. There is a famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty called Ye Tianshi, he is a Chinese medicine who is good at using special medicines, there is a woman, suddenly suffering from a strange disease, paralysis of the lower limbs, unable to walk, can not find the cause, this disease according to modern Western medicine to diagnose is hysteria, Dr. Ye gave her a tonic prescription casually, but asked the patient's family to carry the woman to a hill behind her house to drink the medicine, and then left her alone on the mountain, and when she just finished drinking the medicine, suddenly released a vicious dog, the woman saw the vicious dog pounced, pulled her legs and ran, the hysteria was immediately cured, this sudden fright is the medicine leadγ β
"Wow......" The audience on and off the stage exclaimed together, it turns out that the disease can still be treated like this?
