"For ordinary people, listening to the efficacy mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine is too profound or too complicated, they can't understand it or are not necessarily interested, so I think it is right for ordinary people to believe in traditional Chinese medicine and speak with efficacy," said Zhu Qingjun, director of the Traditional Therapy Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, "like peripheral facial paralysis, shingles, etc. are caused by viral diseases, Western medicine currently has no specific treatment drugs, and Chinese medicine acupuncture can play a better curative effect."
"In the emergency treatment of acute soft tissue injury, acute pain, acute appendicitis, etc., Chinese medicine also has a strong advantage", Zhu Qingjun said, "Taking vertigo as an example, after going to the emergency department, the patient will generally be filmed first, if there is no big problem, there is no way to hang water, and there is no way to hang water, because there is no organic lesion, and Western medicine does not have high tricks." But in fact, experienced Chinese medicine doctors may be fine if they prick a needle or prescribe some Chinese medicine to eat within two or three days."
"Unfortunately, doctors in the emergency department are rarely treated with TCM methods. The same patient with Western medicine rescue cure or cure, everyone thinks it should be right, but the use of Chinese medicine methods to rescue, problems, you have to bear responsibility, the reason is that doctors do not follow the internationally recognized clinical guidelines of Western medicine to operate", Zhu Qingjun said, "the state should have a policy tilt in the protection of Chinese medicine, otherwise the excellent tradition of Chinese medicine will be slowly abandoned."
How to prove that TCM is effective? In Zhu Qingjun's view, "if the patient's symptoms improve after treatment, it can already prove the clinical efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine." It is difficult to study Traditional Chinese medicine in accordance with the way of Western medicine, at least in a short period of time or even decades, there is no hope, because its research mode and ideas rely on the analysis of various molecular structures to study. Chinese medicine does not rely on changes in molecular structure to play a role, it is under the guidance of a meticulous theory, the use of natural substances to treat human diseases. It can be said that from the perspective of the treatment mechanism, the two are fundamentally different. If you want to take Chinese medicine hard for analysis and research, then Chinese medicine may eventually become unclassified, or even perish."
"In fact, when foreign countries look for TCM treatment, they also look at the efficacy, not data analysis", Zhu Qingjun said, "when we went to Germany and Switzerland to lecture, they did not just want to listen to the explanation of the TCM mechanism, after making a simple opening statement, they will immediately find the patient to let you do treatment, and the curative effect will be recognized by people." The emphasis on clarifying the mechanism of Chinese medicine in China also shows that we do not have confidence in ourselves to a certain extent."
