Chapter 795: Show the Lower Limit
To study the treatment of cancer in traditional Chinese medicine, at least the following aspects must be considered.
First of all, it is necessary to study clearly, what kind of TCM configuration can play an effective role in cancer cells?
The medicine is flowing down from the stomach, what kind of operation should be done to maximize the effect of the drug in the liver?
Also, when acupuncture, which acupuncture points should be targeted, what acupuncture order should be followed, and what kind of acupuncture techniques should be used to achieve the effect of reverse transformation of cancer cells?
In addition to acupuncture, what kind of means do you need to cooperate?
When Western medicine knows about the disease of liver cancer, they don't have to think about it, just go under the knife. Largely because before cancer, Western medicine had determined that many people could still survive even if some organs had problems due to accidents, and they could still survive after surgery to replace them.
However, there are too many things to understand in the case of Chinese medicine, such as what kind of means are needed, what kind of medicinal materials, and so on.
If it is a new type of condition, a treatment needs to be developed. Because the methods of Western medicine are simple and crude and can be filled with human life, they can develop treatments more quickly.
But to put it simply, TCM here can often achieve more stable, more efficient, and less aggressive means for the same disease.
Just like malaria, before Tu Youyou, the medical community was not without a way to deal with malaria. At this stage, Chinese medicine also contributes, and Western medicine also contributes. However, Western medicine does play a key role in the prevention of infectious diseases.
Because prevention is in place, there is the possibility of treatment.
However, after Professor Tu extracted artemisinin, the treatment of malaria entered a new era.
To put it simply, if there are treatments for the same disease in both Chinese and Western medicine, the effect of Chinese medicine is often more stable. Western medicine may work quickly, but it can often lead to other aspects of the body. Moreover, the medicine of Western medicine is also more likely to cause harm to people. Therefore, there are so many contraindications in the instructions of every drug.
Here in Chinese medicine, it is not impossible for you to conduct some tests on the methods handed down by your ancestors.
But what if the order is changed, in addition to the problem?
In traditional Chinese medicine, the theory is actually more mysterious. An apprentice at the age of 10 and a sitting in the hall at the age of 30 can only be regarded as having a thorough understanding of most of the theoretical knowledge of Chinese medicine until he is at least forty or fifty years old.
Except for geniuses like Yang Fan, most doctors may not be able to understand these current theories of Chinese medicine when they are fifty years old. Not to mention what kind of innovation has been carried out on such a basis.
You haven't even thoroughly understood all the theories of Chinese medicine, so you can't help but start to unscrupulously modify some of the methods passed down from your ancestors. You can modify it, but in the end, it will be used on the patient. To put it simply, any Chinese medicine practitioner whose medical skills are clearly not in place has to make such an attempt on a patient. It's not an innovative spirit, it's a contempt for life.
Traditional Chinese medicine is far more rigorous than Western medicine in this regard.
In such a situation, except for a few people who are not right-minded. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is generally necessary to have a strong medical theory, at least after the vast majority of existing Chinese medicine theories have been thoroughly studied, and then we will start to make attempts in this regard.
In fact, even these dean-level, or elder-level doctors, have not made too many attempts in this regard. To put it simply, the more advanced the theory of Chinese medicine, the more mysterious it seems.
It doesn't seem like there's much scientific evidence anymore, and it's often difficult to get formal approval if you just want to conduct medical research.
All factors are combined, and Chinese medicine in the field of general medicine, before Professor Tu, has actually been a long time ago, and there has not been much breakthrough.
Especially in fact, the few breakthroughs are still focused on pharmaceutical ingredients. Some fields such as acupuncture and massage have almost not changed from a few decades ago.
Now the so-called acupuncture masters, eighty percent of the methods used are just learning from the old Chinese medicine practitioners. Traditional Chinese medicine here is to pay attention to tradition. A small clinic on the street, and tell you that they have developed a new type of traditional Chinese medicine treatment. How many people dare to go in and try it?
But if you say a century-old inheritance, or a Chinese medicine shop hangs a sign like "X Shengtang has been handed down for 500 years", eighty percent will make more patients subconsciously have a feeling of willingness to believe.
The truth is such a truth, most of the traditional acupuncture methods are actually a situation that has been stereotyped a long time ago. Very few TCM practitioners will try to modify it casually.
Even if you are a doctor who has reached the level of an old man, if someone is willing to make an experiment, he will start to make some attempts. In the end, it will be found that, in fact, these methods handed down by the ancestors are actually very accurate.
For example, if you adjust the order of acupuncture, there is a possibility that the acupuncture method is still effective after adjusting the order, but the effect has been weakened to a certain extent. Complete failure is unlikely, but it is not absolutely impossible.
More than 40% of the probability is that after adjusting the sequence of needles, the acupuncture method is equally effective, and the effect is not weakened.
There is a far less than 100% chance that the treatment effect has been improved after adjusting the order, or that there is a sudden effect on another condition. To put it simply, when the ancestors studied these acupuncture routines, in fact, at that time, they often began to make more attempts.
Just by adjusting the order, the Ancestor's methods suddenly had a stronger effect. This is an idea that no one would suggest you have, and it is indeed a bit unrealistic.
Unless it's a case where the effect is enhanced after the order is changed. Otherwise, it is a situation where the order is changed and the effect remains the same. Generally speaking, this old-level doctor will not easily show this new needle order in front of outsiders.
First of all, it exposed that you guy, your own ability is not enough, and you actually want to improve the medical skills of your ancestors.
The second is exposed, and you still fail......
Therefore, there is almost no one who, without researching a special effect, arbitrarily changes the order of the needles in front of others. You did this, except that you couldn't show what you were capable of. It can only have the effect of showing the lower limit.
