Chapter 87

Jerry said with emotion: "It seems that in terms of basic medical values, Chinese medicine and Western medicine are completely opposite attitudes. In our eyes, the human body is a stupid and ignorant 'child' who often makes low-level mistakes, and needs 'wise and skillful' doctors to help and solve all kinds of wrong behaviors of the body, and use various drugs and medical means to help the mentally handicapped human body 'return to normal'. He wanted to refute Fang Menan's words, but he couldn't tell the facts in front of him.

Fang Menan nodded, it is difficult to change a person's inherent thinking concept for decades, and it is not easy for Jerry to say these words in such a short period of time.

She went on to say with a smile: "If you go along with this line of thinking in Western medicine, you will have very absurd behaviors; For example, Western medicine often uses the method of 'organ removal' to 'prevent disease', such as appendicitis prevention and treatment by appendiceal removal, uterine resection to prevent uterine cancer, and resection ** to prevent breast cancer. This seems to me to be a suicidal tactic, very incredible. However, the crazy act of openly challenging the wisdom of life in nature is the 'basic common sense and basic treatment method' of Western medicine, and people actually 'accept' it. ”

Although in ancient times, there was a body that was exposed to the skin and did not dare to destroy it, but now people scoff at it, and in a sense they can't say wrong, let alone the organs in the body.

There are some "incurable diseases" in TCM, and doctors will refuse to take over the treatment after seeing them. Western medicine likes to pretend to be God, and all diseases must be cured, but in fact, they cannot be cured at all, but whether they are cured or not, money must be earned; And the more terminal the disease, the more incurable the disease, but the more it is a feast for Western medicine and an opportunity to make a fortune; In comparison, the 'non-treatment' of Chinese medicine does not seem to be compassionate, but I am afraid it is the most compassionate. Because people can't be saved anyway. Traditional Chinese medicine is not to break the family, while Western medicine is to make the family ruined, leaving the patient's family with no money. This is a manifestation of the TCM practitioner's 'conscience', and the current Western medical system often does not cure well, but still pretends to 'save lives', leaving many families with 'no money and money'. In terms of cause and effect, the future retribution of such doctors will be very miserable.

These diseases that occur after treatment are simply attributed to "complications" in Western medicine. In fact, these diseases are not caused by the disease itself, but sometimes caused by Western medicine, which is a new disease created by Western medicine. If the patient is smarter and asks for compensation from the Western medical system, the Western medical system will quickly go bankrupt.

"According to relevant records: 'In 1976, doctors in the city of Fort Tower, Colombia, went on strike for 52 days. The local mortality rate dropped by 35 per cent, which was called an 'unusual side effect'. In the same year, in Los Angeles, the city's patient mortality rate dropped by 18 percent when doctors went on strike to protest over the increase in malpractice insurance prices. University of California professor of medical administration Mill? According to a report by Dr. Romer after surveying 17 hospitals in the city, each hospital reduced surgeries by an average of 60 percent during the strike. ’”

Jerry said self-deprecatingly: "Doctors go on strike, mortality goes down - the black humor of modern medicine." Is it accidental, or is it inevitable? In fact, as early as the 70s of the 20th century, the World Health Organization pointed out that 1/3 of the world's deaths were not due to diseases, but to irrational drug use; Drug-borne diseases caused by improper medication have caused 10 times as many deaths as infectious diseases. ”

"The cost of health care is too high for people in any other country, especially those who are chronically ill, and being seriously ill can drain their savings. It will also reduce the standard of living of most families. In the United States, it is reported that half of all bankruptcies each year are due to the payment of medical bills. It's a real challenge. ”

This problem is a problem for the whole world, and it cannot be solved overnight, Fang Monan changed the topic and said: "Now the awareness of environmental protection is getting heavier and heavier, and we have realized that the earth's ecology is a harmonious whole. The importance of biodiversity has been recognized, and it has been decided that 'preserving nature' is the best means. Don't approve of indiscriminate deforestation, right? ”

Jerry nodded, and Aretha said, "Yes." Environmental awareness is now being strengthened. “

Fang Monan tilted his head and asked, "But why do doctors like to cut down human parts at will?" Isn't the human body one? Doesn't it exist in diversity? In the human body, artificially distinguishing between 'vital organs' and 'unimportant organs' is a stupid and backward medical idea; not only can the organs of the human body not be easily removed, but they cannot even be 'substituted for work'; once the heart bypass technology is used, or even after the heart is replaced, and after kidney dialysis is used to 'replace the kidney work', the consequences of this 'high-tech medical technology' may still be maintained, but basically it is a waste of life, and there is no quality of life. From the days of these surgeries, man becomes an appendage of the machine and must rely on the machine for the rest of his life to 'live'. Is there any 'dignity and worth of the human person' and any 'quality of life'? ”

Fang Monan took a sip of tea, fortunately it was his own tea leaves, the taste was worse, but he could still drink it, put down the cup, and continued: "Chinese medicine is from a philosophical point of view, that is, it believes that the human body is great, and every part is perfect. If there is a problem in the human body, it is not the mistake and ignorance of the human body, but our own ignorance, and we have made a serious mistake that needs to be corrected. It's a wordless reminder from the body.

At the same time, it is likely that some diseases of the human body are means for the body to heal itself. What doctors can do is understand the causes behind these diseases and address them to help the body solve the problem. ”

Jerry also took a sip of tea, "It's so fragrant, not like the bitterness I've drunk." He looked up at Fang Monan and asked, "What tea?" ”

"I brought it from my hometown, I'll give you some later." Fang Menan said.

"Wait, get some for Thomas, you know he doesn't drink coffee now, so I've got a substitute for tea!" Jerry remembered.

Fang Menan nodded.

Jerry took another sip, put down the teacup, and said, "Nannan has said so many examples, if you use the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, how should you express it?" He asked. I really want to know this, Chinese medicine seems to be mysterious, and I can't express it in specific language and science.

Fang Monan smiled and said, "This is called in traditional Chinese medicine, Wei is strong and weak!"

Jerry frowned, a little incomprehensible, "This is a professional term in traditional Chinese medicine." ”

"Camp and health are the overview of the two major systems of the human body in traditional Chinese medicine. As early as in the classic works of traditional Chinese medicine, the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" has been introduced. Camp refers to the nutritional metabolic system: Wei, that is, to defend the immune system. Fang Menan explained two more sentences, saying: "Wei belongs to Yang, camp belongs to Yin, and the two systems coordinate and interact with each other. Let the human body be in a dynamic and stable state. But yin follows yang, when the defense immune system is activated. The nutrient metabolism system will produce a constant source of energy to help defend the defense system against foreign enemies. ”

Jerry was extremely surprised, raising his eyebrows, the metabolic system and the immune system, in his opinion, were all discoveries of Western medicine. Unexpectedly, Chinese medicine has not only recognized these two systems thousands of years ago, but also has a profound study of the coordination mechanism between the camp and the guard.

"He who presides over the camp is called God; And to promote the work of camp and health, it is called qi. When the camp and guards are not in harmony, or the king is strong and the camp is weak, it is necessary to find the reasons from these aspects. Fang Menan said.

Jerry nodded incessantly. Today was too much for him, and for a while he felt that his brain was not enough, but he also felt that his brain was very hungry and thirsty, desperately trying to absorb things.

Finally, Jerry finally sighed with emotion. "The human body is wonderful!" He originally wanted to say that Chinese medicine is amazing.

Fang Menan nodded and said, "You're right, people are on this earth. The Greatest Lifeform; And the human body is the most perfect thing on this earth. ”

Ellesha was confused. But she understood this sentence and said, "How did you say this?" ”

Fang Monan smiled, it seems that these two people are still addicted to asking today, and they have to ask about everything, fortunately, my aunt is on vacation today and is watching the children at home. Fang Monan thought for a while, organized the language and said, "I'll just use words that you can understand, let's talk about it briefly!"

Ellesha nodded hurriedly, she was covered with clouds and mountains and fog in some places that she heard just now, and hurriedly said: "This is the best, Doctor Fang, please speak!"

"The earliest life on the earth was a single-cell structure, although there is only one cell, but it can also complete nutrition, respiration, excretion, movement, reproduction, it is an independent life form, right?" Fang Menan asked.

Eletha nodded straight, this is the consensus of the scientific community, there is no doubt about it.

"After so many years of evolution, a new life has emerged on Earth, and it is no longer a single-celled organism, but a two-celled organism."

Fang Menan stood up and moved his body, sat down and said, "Have you ever thought that it takes a powerful force to be able to merge two independent lifeforms with complete functions into one, no longer repelling each other, no longer disagreeing with each other, but dividing labor and cooperating with each other. This is something that has only been done after a long period of life. ”

Jerry and Aretha were lost in thought, the transition from unicellular to multicellular is one of the greatest things on earth.

"When two cells are together, they may only need to divide labor, but when more than three cells are together, how to make these cells know that they are one with each other, and they can differentiate and divide labor separately, it requires a higher level of things to appear, so the brain appeared, the spine bones also came into being, and life began to differentiate into many organs and bodies with different functions, and a wide variety of organisms appeared on the earth."

"How many years have passed like this, during which no matter how many cruel things the earth has experienced, life has not been wiped out, not only has it been destroyed, but it has also gathered the creation of heaven and earth to produce human beings, the greatest and most perfect life form so far." Fang Monan looked at them one after another and asked, "What do you think about this?"

Jerry and the two of them were silent, such a simple fact, now let her talk like this, but let herself think a lot, a lot of thoughts, but for a while, they can't say it.

"Long before the emergence of human beings, viruses have existed on the earth for billions of years, and human beings, the future comers, did not lose in the war with the virus, the 'native', but won the victory, relying on the human body's defense system, in order to defeat the virus, human beings even integrated the genes that originally belonged to the virus into their own genes, to improve and perfect their own defense system."
