The epidemic situation is getting more and more severe.
The people of the whole country have focused on the Shanghai briefing, and Jilin seems to have been ignored as one of the most serious areas in this round of the epidemic.
As of April 3, the number of locally infected people in this round of the epidemic in Jilin Province has exceeded 50,000, of which the cumulative infection in Changchun City has exceeded 30,000.
Since the "lockdown" was announced on March 11, the people of Changchun have been staying at home for 26 days.
Although the situation is grim, there is good news in recent times.
From 0 to 24:00 on April 4, 455 new cured and discharged confirmed cases were added in Jilin City, and 407 new asymptomatic infected people were lifted from isolation medical observation, and the number of discharged patients exceeded the number of hospital admissions for four consecutive days.
As of 24:00 on April 4, the cumulative number of asymptomatic infected people cured and discharged from hospital or released from isolation in Jilin City exceeded 10,000, reaching 10,440.
On April 1, for the first time, the medium-risk areas in Jilin City were adjusted to low-risk areas.
Behind a series of good news, there is a rare thing, that is, the application of traditional Chinese medicine.
According to the Jilin Provincial Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, as of March 28, all confirmed cases and asymptomatic infected people in Jilin Province have been treated with traditional Chinese medicine.
In addition to traditional Chinese medicine decoctions, non-drug treatments such as acupuncture points and massage are also used, and the diagnosis and treatment effect is gratifying.
Take the Tongyuan Fang cabin hospital, Beihu Fang cabin hospital and Jiutai District Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital taken over by the medical team of Changchun University of Traditional Chinese Medicine as examples:
After taking Traditional Chinese medicine, the fever reduction rate in 1 day was 72%, and the fever reduction rate in 3 days was 96%.
Patients whose symptoms disappeared were tested from the 4th day after taking the drug, and the discharge criteria of two consecutive negative nucleic acid tests with an interval of 24 hours was taken as the discharge criteria, and the discharge rate in 6 days reached more than 69%, which significantly shortened the hospital stay.
In addition, for patients who are discharged from home isolation and recovered, oral consolidation of traditional Chinese medicine is given for three days to truncate the occurrence of sequelae.
As of April 2, There were 2,137 new cured and discharged confirmed cases in Jilin Province, 566 new cases of asymptomatic infection under medical observation, and no severe and critically ill patients.
Although in recent years, among the topics of domestic controversy, Chinese medicine is definitely ranked first.
However, in the actual battle against the epidemic, Chinese medicine has already used specific data and achievements to justify itself.
02
In fact, when the epidemic first broke out in Wuhan, Chinese medicine occupied a pivotal position in medical treatment.
At that time, the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine has sent 5 batches of nearly 800 professional teams to wuhan, nearly 5,000 people from the national medical team supporting Wuhan are from the traditional Chinese medicine system, and 97 traditional Chinese medicine medical institutions across the country have been designated hospitals.
Academician Zhang Boli, the leader of the Department of Internal Medicine of Traditional Chinese Medicine, led 209 Chinese medicine experts to enter the Dahuashan Fang cabin hospital in Jiangxia District.
They implement the concept of Traditional Chinese medicine and stick to the front line in the fight against and treatment of new crown pneumonia.
This medical team composed of TCM medical staff is characterized by full coverage of TCM:
All the drugs are used in traditional Chinese medicine, and with massage, moxibustion, tai chi, baduanjin and other traditional Chinese medicine non-drug treatment methods, improve the patient's physical literacy and help the patient recover health.
From this set of data, we can more clearly see the effect of early intervention of traditional Chinese medicine:
On January 28, 2020, in Wuchang District, the hardest hit area, the proportion of suspected cases confirmed as new coronary pneumonia was as high as more than 90%.
On February 2, traditional Chinese medicine intervention was intensively implemented at the isolation point, and on February 6, the confirmed case rate dropped to 30%, and by March 5, it dropped to 3%.
Among the confirmed cases of new crown pneumonia in the country, 74,187 people used traditional Chinese medicine, accounting for 91.5%, of which 61,449 people in Hubei Province used traditional Chinese medicine, accounting for 90.6%.
Clinical efficacy observations show that the total effective rate of traditional Chinese medicine has reached more than 90%.
It can effectively alleviate symptoms, reduce the development of mild and ordinary types to severe diseases, and effectively improve the cure rate and reduce the mortality rate.
Previously, traditional Chinese medicine participated in the medical treatment of confirmed patients throughout the process, which was also a highlight of shenzhen's epidemic prevention and control.
In the treatment of ordinary and mild patients and asymptomatic infected patients in the hospital, Shenzhen mainly uses traditional Chinese medicine.
In addition to the extensive clinical use of traditional Chinese medicines such as Gu ben qing lung formula and poria soup, the city's traditional Chinese medicine experts were also dispatched to the three hospitals to collect the patient's symptoms and symptoms and tongue veins through looking, hearing and cutting.
Using TCM comprehensive therapy, none of the cases have changed from mild to severe diseases.
For mild and ordinary patients, Chinese medicine can be completely treated.
Chinese and Western medicine are equally important, and Chinese and Western medicine cooperate with each other, which effectively reduces the mortality rate.
It can be seen that in the fight against the epidemic, from prevention, treatment to rehabilitation, Chinese medicine has always played a very important role.
03
However, after the epidemic raged, there were always people with malicious intentions.
While hyping up the new crown pneumonia as a viral infection, a self-limiting disease that can heal itself as long as it is supportive treatment;
On the one hand, chinese medicine only played the role of a placebo, but in fact, it did not play a role.
Not only did it turn a blind eye to the anti-epidemic achievements made by Traditional Chinese Medicine, but it also in turn wantonly denigrated it.
It is gratifying that many people have gradually changed their concepts after experiencing the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine.
Ms. Li, 43, who had never taken Chinese medicine when she was initially infected with COVID-19, was also dismissive of her attitude towards Chinese medicine.
"When I first went to Jiangxia Fanggang Hospital, the doctor gave me Chinese medicine, but I refused."
Ms. Li said, "I have never taken Chinese medicine before, this time it is so serious, can I drink Chinese medicine without infusion?" ”
Under the repeated persuasion of the doctors, and seeing that some patients around her were getting better, Ms. Li wavered and began to try to take medicine.
In the end, an inconspicuous patch completely changed Ms. Li's concept.
At that time, due to the high fever, the doctor put a warm moxibustion sticker on Ms. Li's large vertebral point. I accepted it half-heartedly, but I didn't expect that the temperature would drop the next day.
Since then, Ms. Li has been touched by the magic of traditional Chinese medicine and has become the most active patient.
As her body and mood became more and more unobstructed, Ms. Li couldn't help but secretly admire Chinese medicine in her heart.
"My temperature has been normal for 8 days, two consecutive nucleic acid tests have been negative, and the doctor said that I will be discharged soon." Ms. Li looked happy, "I never thought that Chinese medicine could really cure me." ”
In fact, many people, like Ms. Li, have a natural distrust and misunderstanding of Chinese medicine.
However, with the strength and outstanding therapeutic effect of Chinese medicine in the fight against the epidemic, Chinese medicine has been recognized by more people and countries.
For example, when the epidemic in the United States was out of control, the people of New York rushed to buy Chinese medicine several times.
American pharmaceutical manufacturers are imitating the "lung clearing and detoxification soup" of traditional Chinese medicine, through the extraction of ingredients, the development and purification, made into the American version of the new crown special drug.
When there have been voices in China singing about the decline of Chinese medicine, as everyone knows, foreign countries have long regarded Chinese medicine as a treasure.
In 1999, Switzerland incorporated the cost of traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture into national medical insurance.
In 2013, Hungary was the first in Europe to implement TCM legislation, giving TCM a formal license to practice medicine. Belgium has incorporated acupuncture into regular medicine.
In Italy, many hospitals have TCM outpatient departments. In Australia, 70% of doctors recommend acupuncture treatment, which is subsidized by health insurance.
In 2017, the United States also signed the H.R.6 Act, which proposes to include acupuncture and cupping into medical insurance.
It is undoubtedly absurd that our own cultural treasures, if they are not valued at home, but shine abroad.
04
For a long time, Chinese medicine has suffered a lot of misunderstandings.
Many people think that Chinese medicine is pseudoscience, even feudal superstition and cultural dross.
However, as early as the Xia Shang Zhou period, medicinal liquor and soup liquid had appeared in China, and the "Shennong Materia Medica" of the "Junchen Zuo envoy" was first proposed, which is still in clinical application.
From the Western Han Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were at least 321 large plagues in this part of China, and there are records of the prevention of infectious diseases in the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic.
Since the Han Dynasty, infectious diseases have been paid attention to in Chinese medicine texts.
Ge Hong's "Elbow Reserve Emergency"
Ge Hong's "Elbow Backup Emergency Formula" of the Jin Dynasty not only records "sores" (smallpox), "rabies bite" (rabies), etc.; the subsequent medical books have clearly recorded acute infectious diseases such as malaria, measles, diphtheria, chicken pox, cholera, dysentery, tuberculosis and their dialectical treatment methods.
In addition to treating infectious diseases with drugs, ancient Chinese medicine also summed up the experience of isolation and quarantine, disinfection, maintaining a good environment and personal hygiene, and "preventing diseases before they occur" to cope with the spread of epidemic diseases.
Over the past hundred years, Chinese medicine practitioners have also made every effort to inherit the ancient laws of the ancestors and continue to learn the standardized methods of Western medicine.
Bring the ancient Chinese medicine to life.
The most famous is the invention of "artemisinin" invented by Tu Youyou, who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine.
Zirat, chairman of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine Selection Committee, commented:
"The fact that Chinese female scientist Tu Youyou isolated artemisinin from traditional Chinese medicine and applied it to malaria treatment shows that traditional Chinese herbal medicine can also bring new inspiration to scientists."
Tu Youyou
The controversy of empty mouth and white teeth is meaningless, and it is true that Chinese medicine can indeed cure the disease.
Whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine, each medicine has its own strengths and weaknesses, and Chinese should feel happy because we have two medical systems to ensure health.
As an important part of China's excellent traditional culture, Chinese medicine is bound to usher in its second spring, which is also an important manifestation of the revival of China's excellent traditional culture.
Husbands and doctors, non-benevolent and untrue; non-intelligent and rational cannot be trusted; non-honest and pure cannot be trusted.
I hope that this ancient medicine can be understood and accepted by more Chinese people!
In the new era, it is full of vitality again.
