Chapter 57 0055 Interview

In the 1980s, for some unknown reason, the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine suddenly became the mainstream view in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. In the early 1990s, the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine was established as a new first-level discipline.

The integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine is an innovative exploration of the development of traditional Chinese medicine.

This exploration was not considered a success. It also brought great harm to traditional Chinese medicine, causing traditional Chinese medicine to lose more of its right to speak. It also allowed those people to extend their tentacles into the teaching of traditional Chinese medicine, changing the traditional Chinese medicine education beyond recognition.

Huang Su, with his thoughts on the combination of Chinese and Western medicine in his previous life, replied: "The combination of Chinese and Western medicine sounds wonderful, but people are not classified as mentally ill. If you can hold two theories in your head and switch freely, there will inevitably be a distinction between primary and secondary.

It is easier for them to become leaders because they are simple and easy to understand, because they are formatted, and how to treat that disease has been laid out in a systematic way, just like a formula."

"Traditional Chinese medicine is a discussion topic. It requires an in-depth analysis of the causes and pathogenesis of the disease based on the four diagnostic combinations and the known conditions of the patient's symptoms, and distinguishes the external and internal deficiency, excess, cold, and heat of the five internal organs in order to prescribe the right medicine for the syndrome. Often, the quality of traditional Chinese medicine is

Extremely demanding.”

"And this difficult-to-make decision has now been proven, and with the trend of integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine, Chinese medicine education has been vigorously reformed. The compulsory course hours of Western medicine have been added to the Department of Chinese Medicine, and in some cases, a third of the course hours have been added.

Medical schools that are biased against Chinese medicine have even increased the Western medicine courses in Chinese medicine departments by two-thirds. The most ridiculous thing is that all Chinese medicine classics have become elective courses."

"If you don't believe me, you can investigate the clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine in recent years. The graduates of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine all do not know the four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine. When patients come, they undergo various Western medicine tests. Can Western medicine tests detect cold, heat, wind, phlegm, or can they detect elevation?

Floating and sinking. Neither can. However, what Chinese medicine relies on to treat diseases is the four diagnosis methods combined with ginseng and syndrome differentiation. The four qi and five flavors of traditional Chinese medicine and the rising, falling, floating and sinking methods are used to treat diseases."

"Nowadays, doctors trained in the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine all use Western medicine thinking to prescribe Chinese medicine, without distinguishing disease syndromes and applying rotely. If you are lucky, the treatment will be effective for the syndrome, but if you are unlucky, the medicine will get worse with more treatment."

"So Chinese and Western medicine is not a combination, but a cooperation. Both sides use their own theories and give full play to their respective strengths to jointly treat patients. If it is necessary to combine Chinese and Western medicine, I would encourage in-service doctors to further their studies."

Reporter Xu's eyes showed a shrewd light. He felt that he had caught the topic and hurriedly asked: "But Chinese medicine still has no evidence to prove the scientific nature of Chinese medicine theory, let alone prove the existence of yin and yang and the five elements. Can Chinese medicine accept the reform of modern medical science?

Is there anything wrong?"

"What you are doing is not reform, it is assimilation, it is elimination. When it comes to the integration of Chinese and Western medicine, shouldn't it be for both sides? But I have only seen Chinese medicine combined with Western medicine, but not Western medicine combined with Chinese medicine. I have only seen modern medicine as a compulsory course in the clinical profession of Chinese medicine.

courses, but no medical school has a Chinese medicine department in Western medicine clinics. If a Chinese doctor can’t diagnose pulse and tongue, how can he be called a Chinese doctor? The fundamental reason is still biased against Chinese medicine, which is considered unscientific.”

Huang Su continued: "Since Watt invented the steam engine in 1776, modern science has only developed for a few hundred years. During these hundreds of years of development, how many scientific theories were very scientific at the time have been proven to be true as time goes by.

Fallacy. Science itself develops through constant mistakes and corrections, but you want to use science to explain everything in the world."

"I'll tell you how to prove that traditional Chinese medicine is scientific. The efficacy of patients is the most scientific proof. It does not involve anyone's subjective will. If it is effective, it is effective, and if it is ineffective, it is ineffective."

Reporter Xu continued to ask: "Director Huang, since you think that current science cannot prove traditional Chinese medicine, but the so-called four qi and five flavors rise and fall. Then how can traditional Chinese medicine prove these."

"I still say the same thing, the efficacy is the best proof. In the case of this interview, the patient suffered from postpartum hemorrhage after giving birth. Postpartum hemorrhage is called hemorrhage in traditional Chinese medicine. It is a disease with a downward trend. Traditional Chinese medicine is the most effective in treating this type of disease.

The most commonly used one is Aconite, which uses its power to raise Yang to balance the disease downward." Huang Su gave an example.

Reporter Xu continued to retort: ​​"This is just a conclusion made by traditional Chinese medicine based on experience. I think it is a certain component of the herbal medicine that has the effect of stopping bleeding. I feel that traditional Chinese medicine should not be invisible and cannot touch the so-called yin and yang, five elements, and four qi."

The five flavors, rising and falling, floating and sinking, should be explored to extract the real effective ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine."

Huang Su spread his hands and said with a helpless look: "You only believe what you think, and you don't believe what I say, so we can't continue to communicate at all."

Reporter Xu asked as if I am the truth: "Am I wrong? At least the active ingredients are clearly visible, not as ethereal as the four smells and five flavors you mentioned."

"Reporter Xu, since you said that the blood is clearly visible, let me ask you what ingredients make the head of Angelica sinensis have the effect of drawing blood upward, replenishing blood and stopping bleeding, and what ingredients make the head of Angelica sinensis have the effect of mediating Qi and blood.

What ingredients make the tail of Angelica sinensis have the effect of breaking blood, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and what ingredient makes the tail of Angelica sinensis have the effect of promoting meridians and unblocking meridians. I would also like to ask a great scientist who is engaged in the analysis of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients to let me know.

What four ingredients make Angelica so magical? The ingredients are distributed in the head, body, tail, and whiskers without interfering with each other. Maybe we can also test the ingredients of floating wheat and wheat, so that one can be used as medicine, and the other can only fill the stomach.

.”

Continuous questioning left reporter Xu speechless. Her little medical knowledge was only known through interviews.

There are people like this now, and there will be more in the future. They have never opened a page of the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic or Treatise on Febrile Diseases, yet they are there dictating Chinese medicine.

Huang Su took advantage of the victory and pursued: "The four qi and five flavors are not illusory, but also clearly visible. Plantago seed is a medicine with a strong cold taste. It has the effects of clearing away heat and diuresis, exuding dampness and eliminating phlegm. It is not suitable for patients with weak spleen and stomach, dampness and phlegm.

The solution to this medicine is to stir-fry it to get rid of the cold nature of the plantain itself. During the cooking process, the wall of the pot will become moist. If you stir-fry it with your hands, during the stir-frying process, your hands will

It will become moist.”

"If you don't believe it, Reporter Xu can go back and try it for yourself. I would like to ask Reporter Xu. The psyllium seeds are dry and the pot is also dry. Where does the moisture come from? Maybe you said there is moisture in the psyllium seeds. Please don't

It is suspected that the dehydration process of traditional Chinese medicine has been used for thousands of years, and the drying and dehydration methods of different medicinal properties are also different."

Reporter Xu continued to argue: "So what if you are cured? This is just a single case and is not supported by evidence-based medicine."

Evidence-based medicine is a trend that has become popular in recent years, and has been regarded as a standard by modern medicine since its advent.

Coincidentally, in the same year that evidence-based medicine came out, the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine became a first-level discipline. Since then, one has become more powerful, while the other has fallen into a quagmire.

Under the label of unscientific, Chinese medicine has added the label of empirical medicine. Prescriptions verified by countless people for thousands of years have become experience inheritance.

The other party also has good reasons. What is the effectiveness of your prescription in treating this disease? What is the cure rate?

Traditional Chinese medicine is based on syndrome differentiation and treatment, but Western medicine uses their own standards for disease diagnosis and treatment and requires Chinese medicine doctors to provide clinical trial data. If you want to prove that you are evidence-based medicine, you must follow our Western medicine rules.

However, it is very common in traditional Chinese medicine to treat the same disease but different syndromes, or the same syndrome but different diseases.

Huang Su smiled contemptuously: "Hahaha!...evidence-based medicine."

Seeing Huang Su's contempt, reporter Xu asked: "Director Huang, don't you recognize evidence-based medicine?"

Huang Sudao: "On the contrary, I think evidence-based medicine is very good, and the efficacy needs to be proven by evidence."

Reporter Xu looked very surprised. During such a long conversation, she could feel that although Huang Su was not against Western medicine, she was very disgusted with Western medicine dictating Chinese medicine. She thought Huang Su would belittle evidence-based medicine.

Huang Su’s next words broke reporter Xu’s fantasy: “Evidence-based medicine is good, and Chinese medicine should be used. I agree that evidence-based medicine in Chinese medicine should be based on Chinese medicine theory, rather than letting Western medicine draw a box in evidence-based medicine.

, let Chinese medicine practitioners make essays based on the theories of Western medicine."

"We still take this medical case of postpartum hemorrhage as an example. In Western medicine, any bleeding from the female birth canal is considered to be massive bleeding, and there is a fixed set of treatment methods. Therefore, clinical evidence collection is easy, and evidence-based records are easy to collect."

"Traditional Chinese medicine can classify the different syndromes of blood metrorrhagia into qi deficiency syndrome, blood heat syndrome, and blood stasis syndrome. The patient's syndrome in the medical record is qi deficiency syndrome. All our treatments are to strengthen the spleen and raise yang, and blood heat syndrome.

It clears away heat and cools the blood, and the treatment method for blood stasis syndrome is to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis. However, you cannot follow the Western medicine method of disease differentiation and treatment, and you have to use prescriptions that strengthen the spleen and promote yang to treat all types of blood metrorrhagia."

"As for what evidence-based medicine should be based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, blood metrorrhagia should be divided into Qi deficiency syndrome group, blood heat syndrome group, and blood stasis syndrome group. Each group will conduct their own demonstration, and each will come up with a standard prescription, and then record it separately.

The respective cure rate and effective rate of each group of prescriptions are collected from clinical records to form evidence-based evidence."

At this point, Huang Su paused, looked at Reporter Xu meaningfully, and then said: "Reporter Xu, do you think my evidence-based medicine plan of traditional Chinese medicine will be recognized? I can tell you 100% not, because

They simply don’t recognize the concepts of qi deficiency, blood heat, and blood stasis. No matter how good the curative effect is, they won’t recognize your theory.”

"The right to speak in the Chinese medical community is in their hands, and they implement academic hegemony over traditional Chinese medicine. In their thinking, I don't need what you think, you must surrender to what I think."

Reporter Xu asked with gleaming eyes: "Director Huang, who are you referring to?"

Huang Su said in embarrassment: "Reporter Xu, I really can't say this. If I say it, I will be blocked easily."

Although reporter Xu found the entire interview unpleasant, she was shocked by Huang Su's last words, and saw unwillingness in Huang Su's eyes.

Reporter Xu looked at the watch on his wrist, and for the first time sincerely extended his hand to shake hands with Huang Su and said: "Director Huang, although we have slight differences, I am deeply impressed by your profound knowledge and understanding of the development of traditional Chinese medicine.

I am very happy to chat with you for so long, and I hope I can have the opportunity to interview you again in the future."

The most direct manifestation is that as long as it is Western medicine, it does not matter whether it is a cat or a dog, it has the right to comment on traditional Chinese medicine. With the advent of the Internet age, traditional Chinese medicine has become the biggest cancer in the medical field. If it is not eliminated, it will not cause the anger of the people, and if it is not eliminated, it will not make people happy. Traditional Chinese medicine is Chinese medicine.

The biggest sinner in career.

All of them have received education for more than ten years. Even middle school students understand that knowing is knowing and not knowing is not knowing, but they don't understand.

This is the only time in the entire interview that reporter Xu used your honorific.

Huang Su also held reporter Xu's hand and said very sincerely: "I also thank reporter Xu for giving me an opportunity to say what I have been holding in my heart for a long time."

Three days later, in the morning.

That day Risong hurriedly opened the door and broke into the Chinese Medicine Clinic. He held a newspaper in his hand and shouted excitedly: "Director, director! You are in the newspaper."

Huang Su took the newspaper that Risong had brought over and started reading. Reporter Xu published the interview process without any changes.

After reading it, Huang Su put the newspaper on the table and sighed. He really hoped that more Chinese medicine practitioners could read this newspaper. However, after all, Prairie Daily is a local newspaper.

For the first time, Huang Su felt that the stage in Prairie City was too small.

Little did he know that two days later, Professor Chen Jingshan picked up his mobile phone to make a call, while looking at the Prairie Daily in his hand, and said proudly: "Old Sun, I sent you something. After reading it, you owe me a

A huge favor.”

After talking on the phone with Professor Sun Guizhi, Chen Jingshan flipped through the newspaper he had read countless times without getting tired of it, with a happy smile on his face.

Since the birth of evidence-based medicine, Chinese medicine has been exploring how to combine evidence-based medicine with the development of traditional Chinese medicine. I did not expect that my own disciples would give such a standard answer.
