Chapter Ninety-Six: The Disadvantages of Western Medicine (Jacking)
Liang Shui came to the bookstore and went to the medicine class to find the books he needed.
As a result, to his surprise, there are really few books on traditional Chinese medicine, and all of them add up, there are probably only a dozen categories of books.
And most of them are "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", "Compendium of Materia Medica" and the like, the famous works handed down by the ancients, there is no medical book studied by any contemporary people.
Traditional Chinese medicine is in decline!
Liang Shui shook his head, feeling that traditional Chinese medicine is not comprehensive enough to inherit the tradition, let alone innovate, and if it continues like this, decline is inevitable.
"Alas, I don't know if the things of the ancients can still be used today. Now that science and technology are developed, many herbaceous plants are artificially planted, and even from Dazha catalysts, and the medicinal surname is definitely far inferior to the wild herbal medicines in ancient times. How to increase the dosage of drugs, I am afraid that it will take a lot of time to study before a new TCM system can be established, and even if a new TCM system is researched, it will probably take time to be recognized by the medical community, especially in this special period of wild and artificial herbal drug replacement. ”
Liang Shui sighed, and when he said this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Doesn't Xiaoya have the effect of repairing the surname of medicine?
The previous white medicine and white medicine spray, as well as the hemostatic healing medicine in the hospital, can have such a strong healing effect, isn't it the reason why the surname of the medicine has become stronger?
Liang Shui thought of this, and his eyes suddenly flashed with confidence.
If the function of repairing the medicinal surname is used to improve the medicinal surname of artificial herbs, these inherited formulas will play its due role.
At that time, TCM will once again lead the global medical community!
Liang Shui can even imagine that if he uses Xiaoya's ability to repair the surname of medicine, revitalize traditional Chinese medicine, and push traditional Chinese medicine to the top of the world again, fame and money will inevitably come like a surging river.
Liang Shui thought about it, and began to select various medical books on the bookshelf.
However, he did not buy classic classics such as "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" and "The Book of Difficulties", but mainly bought formula medical books such as "The Great Convergence of Folk Remedies" and "Recipes for Difficult and Miscellaneous Diseases".
Because Liang Shui never wanted to be a doctor.
Engaging in medicine is just a part of his career, just an excess.
What Liang Shui wants to do is just to make a lot of money by using a few very good prescriptions, using Xiaoya's effect on repairing the surname of medicine, and launching several special medicines.
At the same time, set off a Chinese medicine fever!
After Liang Shui chose the book, he was about to go to the counter to check out, but a fat old man with glasses blocked his way.
"Young man, are you studying medicine?" The old fat man lifted his glasses and looked Liang Shui up and down.
Liang Shui felt that it was very impolite for the old fat man to look at himself, so he just responded lightly, and was ready to leave.
But the old fat man grabbed him and said, "Young man, listen to my advice." Don't study Chinese medicine, if you are unproductive, learn Western medicine with me, it is definitely more promising than studying Chinese medicine. ”
Liang Shui felt a little inexplicable, how could he suddenly drill out a person to take him as an apprentice, it felt like a bloody scene in some martial arts movies.
The protagonist was originally a wasted person, but suddenly a super master with unfathomable martial arts came to him, saying that he had good bones and wanted to take him as an apprentice.
However, Liang Shui saw a large pile of medical books in his hand, and felt that the old fat man might think that he was a person who was very interested in medicine, which was understandable.
But the old fat man looked down on traditional Chinese medicine and promoted Western medicine, which made Liang Shui a little unhappy.
Liang Shui directly snorted unceremoniously and said, "Get out, does Lao Tzu have a future, it's your business?" The reason why Chinese medicine is declining is because of people like you. ”
"Haha, well said!" At this time, an old man with a thin figure and plain clothes walked over laughing.
When the old fat man saw the thin old man, he immediately pouted and said, "Old head, I'm talking to this little brother, what are you doing here?" ”
"Tian Fatty, Lao Tzu can't get used to your face that thinks that Western medicine is invincible in the world and Chinese medicine is not as good as bullshit, what's wrong?" The old head coldly glanced at the fat man and said.
Liang Shui glanced at the two of them a little speechlessly, then turned around and walked towards the counter with the medical book in his arms.
Tian Fatzi didn't mean to let Liang Shui go, and when he saw that he was leaving, he immediately ran up to stop him and said, "You wait, don't leave yet, listen to me say a few words." ”
"Get out of the way, I'm not interested in Western medicine!" Liang Shui hummed unceremoniously.
Tian Fatzi was thick-skinned, probably wanting to prove his strength in front of the ancient head, and he wanted to convince Liang Shui very much and said: "Young man, the reason why Chinese medicine is declining is because Western medicine is developed on the basis of Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine belongs to primitive medical skills, and Western medicine is more advanced.
As we all know, traditional Chinese medicine mainly regulates the body through the medicinal effects of various herbs, and its practical Western medicine explains that it is because the body lacks certain elements, and these herbs contain these elements, and the human body absorbs these elements and replenishes them, and the disease will be naturally cured.
The field of Western medicine research is to purify these elements and make them into pills, which are supplemented with the elements that the human body lacks when they are sick.
This is the reason why traditional Chinese medicine is slow to produce results, while Western medicine is quick to take effect.
And an herbal medicine often contains a variety of elements, if one is only sick due to a lack of element A, there is no need to supplement element B, adding element B will make the patient suffer from another disease, and the herbal medicine happens to have element B, what will be the result, you know?
There is an old saying in Chinese medicine that it is called 'medicine is poisoned in three parts', and this is actually the reason.
Of course, there are skilled doctors, aware of this problem, who will formulate another herbal medicine that can neutralize the B element.
However, in this way, there may be C element harmful to the human body in another herbal medicine, and then the C element has to be restrained, so that if it continues, it will undoubtedly fall into a dead circle, and it may also reduce the composition of element A, and slow down the speed of treatment.
This is the reason why the TCM formula is very complicated and not very effective. ”
Liang Shui listened to what Tian Fatzi said, nodded lightly, and said that he finally understood why the Peugeot of traditional Chinese medicine is Wangwenwen and acupuncture, while the Peugeot of Western medicine is a blood test and urinary surgery.
Seeing that Liang Shui seemed to be convinced, the old head immediately stepped forward and pulled him over and said, "Young man, don't listen to that old fat man's nonsense, Chinese medicine is broad and profound, and it is not as simple as he said." His set of theories was fundamentally obtained from Western medicine, and he knew nothing about Chinese medicine.
Although he has a point, you must remember that 'medicine is three parts poison'!
If it is so simple to treat the disease by supplementing certain important elements that the human body lacks, it can indeed greatly enhance the effect and efficacy of the drug.
However, the practice of forcibly injecting a certain element in Western medicine will greatly inhibit the ability of the human body itself to produce this element, thereby reducing the body's immunity and gradually making people dependent on drugs.
If we do not promote traditional Chinese medicine and inhibit the development of Western medicine, if this continues, the human body's dependence on drugs will become greater and greater, and the whole world will enter a terrible period of national illness.
Our approach in Chinese medicine is different, we use the theory of yin and yang of the human body to adjust yin and yang, and stimulate the body's own self-healing ability, just like acupuncture, which is a good example of stimulating potential.
That's why, there has always been a saying in the medical profession that Western medicine is effective, but it treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and Chinese medicine can cure the root cause.
Only the practice of TCM to stimulate the potential of the human body can keep people's bodies in a healthy state at all times. ”
When Liang Shui heard this, he felt that what Gu Tou said was very reasonable.
Tian Fatzi was not convinced, and immediately roared: "Old head, you don't fart there, Chinese medicine is so powerful, how come the average life expectancy began to grow after the development of Western medicine?" ”
"That's because the medical conditions at that time were backward, the social system was backward, and many people didn't have the money to treat diseases at all." The old head tilted his head, and he was not convinced.
"Alright, don't fight! In the end, I still chose Chinese medicine, there is no reason! After Liang Shui finished speaking, he held the selected medicine book, turned around and walked towards the counter.
There is no reason to be false, the ancient saying that the development of Chinese medicine can make people healthier, and Western medicine can only increase people's dependence on medicines, so that the world gradually enters a terrible period of national sickness.
It can be said that the practice of Western medicine is to turn drugs into poisons and make people addicted.
Liang Shui came from a poor background and knew well the pain of the poor who had no money to treat their diseases, and if they were to become addicted to drugs again, it would undoubtedly push them into an even more painful abyss.
