Smallpox, one of the worst epidemics in history, has claimed 2 billion lives worldwide. Without variolation, the child mortality rate was as high as 30%. When smallpox was introduced to China, Chinese medical scientists invented a smallpox vaccination method to prevent smallpox, thanks to the traditional Chinese medicine idea of ??"poison that kills poison."
Pick out the buds of a person who has already had smallpox, dry them in a cool place, and then blow them into the nostrils of a healthy person so that he will not be infected with smallpox again. In the Qing Dynasty, the Qing government also established the "Vaccine Bureau" to be responsible for vaccination. It can be called the world's first official immunization agency. After the invention of traditional Chinese medicine for acne, it spread to other countries in the world. On this basis, the traditional Chinese medicine for acne finally evolved into a modern vaccine after some improvements and innovations. So back to this question, it is precisely because of the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine and the diagnosis and treatment theory of traditional Chinese medicine that the ancient Chinese could invent acne first. Otherwise, why didn't people in other countries invent acne?
In the 1950s, an epidemic of Japanese encephalitis broke out in Shijiazhuang. At that time, Western medicine was out of control and the situation was very serious. At that time, the Prime Minister personally invited the famous Chinese medicine doctor Zhou Pufu. Dr. Po combined the luck theory of traditional Chinese medicine with the local heat and temperature characteristics of Shijiazhuang to create a Baihu decoction that clears away heat and detoxifies. The cure rate was over 90%, much higher than the world standard at the time. This can be said to be a good example of Chinese medicine saving thousands of lives. In fact, similar cases have occurred in the next few years, and they are also ineffective in Western medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine has shown miraculous power without sequelae.
In 2003, the Affiliated Hospital of the Singapore College of Traditional Chinese Medicine recommended the close connection between modern medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. At that time, Wu Youke, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the Ming Dynasty, recommended a one-dose prescription for SARS and plague. This formula, known as "Big Vowel" in Singapore, is a life-saving straw in the fight against the new virus at critical moments. Tu Youyou’s inspiration for discovering artemisinin against malaria also came from traditional Chinese medicine. It can be seen that ancient Chinese medicine does not become ineffective with the passage of time. We Chinese have been exposed to traditional Chinese medicine since childhood. Most of us can say that we have personally experienced the benefits of Chinese medicine.
Especially since the outbreak today, Wuhan has established a special TCM shelter hospital, which also fully demonstrates the charm of TCM. So why can’t some Western doctors around the world accept TCM? This may be related to the cultural background of this country. China has a splendid civilization of five thousand years. Many times in history, when China became a world power, many modern countries did not emerge. Regardless, the truth is the best answer. Very much against the opposition under the science banner, it seems to be a scientist.
No one knows how many scientific theories once believed to be true have been overturned by the new discoveries of modern science. As Einstein said, science can prove the existence of things, but it cannot prove their non-existence. Given that many truly great scientists are still in this position, is there anyone who should be more open-minded? The endless progress of science, from the smallest atoms to the modern quantum field, isn’t it constantly being updated? Why is it said that modern science cannot find theoretical support for the time being, and the diagnosis and treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine are untenable? Judging from many major events in history, traditional Chinese medicine is an important factor in the continuation of the Chinese nation. Of course, this does not mean that other countries cannot continue to compete without traditional Chinese medicine. They have daily treatment methods, although they are not necessarily equivalent to traditional Chinese medicine.
