Those who study traditional Chinese dicine do not understand Chinese dicine, those who understand Chinese dicine do not understand traditional Chinese dicine!
Lu Xuan nodded without comnting.
This statent doesn’t really pose any issues in Western dicine.
Western dicine has never been responsible for drug manufacturing; that’s the job of pharmaceutical companies, and Western dicine just prescribes based on symptoms.
But traditional Chinese dicine is different. Ever since its inception, it has been inseparable from Chinese dicine; otherwise, the saying "Shennong tasted a hundred herbs" would not exist.
In the past, traditional Chinese dicine practitioners would personally pick and test most of the herbal dicines, knowing their effects by heart.
Nowadays, the traditional Chinese dicine practitioners who graduate from Zhijiang University of Traditional Chinese dicine may recognize most herbs but know very little about their pharmacology and dical theories.
This is why the saying "Those who study traditional Chinese dicine do not understand Chinese dicine, those who understand Chinese dicine do not understand traditional Chinese dicine" ca about.
The worldview and thods of traditional Chinese dicine are very different from those of Western dicine. Studying Western dicine follows logical relationships, whereas traditional Chinese dicine is completely different, and there is no "optimal" thod, only the "most suitable" thod.
Lu Xuan has personally witnessed many miracles of traditional Chinese dicine, and ever since he gained the ability to hear the heart’s voice of Chinese dicine, he has used the knowledge gained to pull back many people from the brink of death who had already been handed a death sentence by Western dicine.
Moreover, it’s not just one or two people, but quite a few.
Ever since he got involved in traditional Chinese dicine, Lu Xuan always felt that it is a national emblem, and not without reason.
When talking to a Westerner about Chinese culture, they may not understand much, but ntion traditional Chinese dicine, and acupuncture imdiately cos to mind.
Because acupuncture is magical, traditional Chinese dicine is warmly welcod overseas, which is why Lu Xuan feels there’s no need to belittle oneself because of Western dicine’s dominance.
Nor should anyone feel that seizing back the leading role from Western dicine is hopeless.
There is hope, and the hope is considerable.
However, Lu Xuan also understands that this isn’t sothing he can achieve alone; it requires the effort of countless traditional Chinese dicine practitioners and the determination of everyone involved.
Despite its excellence, people’s understanding of traditional Chinese dicine is still inaccurate.
For instance, many common-sense facts are docunted in the "Inner Scripture of the Yellow Emperor" and other ancient Chinese dical texts, yet it seems people rarely read the original works, preferring internet hearsay.
Many believe that traditional Chinese dicine is easy to learn. Like when soone gets acupuncture once and finds it nice and simple, they turn around and ask the traditional Chinese dicine doctor if they can do it themselves.
Confidence is good, but such thinking is wrong; acupuncture and massage follow a comprehensive theoretical system of acupoints and cannot be learned capriciously.
Lu Xuan rembered that, before coming to this world, the elderly man in his family had issues with blood pressure, so he gave him so Panax notoginseng powder. The old man found it great and began blindly advocating it to his fellow patients.
But in reality, Panax notoginseng powder isn’t a "miracle cure" for everything, and different people have different causes and symptoms, so one cannot generalize.
Traditional Chinese dicine must not be taken haphazardly; dicine, after all, has toxic properties, and traditional Chinese dicine is no exception.
Moreover, "separation of dicine and herbs" has caused a noticeable issue.
That is, those who study traditional Chinese dicine do not understand Chinese dicine, and those who understand Chinese dicine do not understand traditional Chinese dicine.
dical students only need to prescribe drugs and do not need to personally handle the herbs.
But in reality, even the sa herb varies in effectiveness across regions, like north versus south.
The traditional Chinese dicine industry even has a saying, "Current schools can’t produce good doctors."
Students are busy, teachers are busy, busy with papers, teaching, exams, leaving little ti to consult and diagnose.
Zhijiang University of Traditional Chinese dicine is considered a good school, yet typically seven or eight, even ten or more students gather around one renowned traditional Chinese dicine doctor to observe how he diagnoses the pulse, prescribes, and consults.
There are too few reputable traditional Chinese dicine doctors, and students receive little practical experience.
Furthermore, young doctors are afraid to prescribe beyond the standard dosage, fearing adverse patient reactions; they prefer to prescribe "safe drugs" over making mistakes, as adverse reactions require accountability.
This is correct, but so illnesses are only effectively treated with overdosed dication, and many renowned old traditional Chinese dicine doctors operate this way, but now everyone is afraid.
However, the country has recognized these issues and is increasingly attentive.
These situations are gradually improving, and the developnt and growth of traditional Chinese dicine are foreseeable.
Considering these, Lu Xuan smiled slightly: "That’s the reality, but there’s no need to worry about it, because there are so things we can foresee, and the higher-ups see them too. The magic of traditional Chinese dicine is evident, and it cannot simply vanish due to the rise and suppression of Western dicine; it won’t vanish.
Not to ntion, over at the Insurance Committee, eight or nine out of ten mbers are traditional Chinese dicine doctors, which alone says a lot."
"Hopefully." Zhang Guangli sighed.
Even though the current situation is indeed as Lu Xuan described.
However, truth be told, waiting until that day of transformation, the day of the traditional Chinese dicine’s resurgence, he feared he wouldn’t live to see it.
Of course, perhaps there’s a chance.
Zhang Guangli’s gaze lingered on Lu Xuan, a flicker of deep aning in his eyes.
If... it were this young man in front of him, perhaps he could lead traditional Chinese dicine to prosperity.
He... was exceptional!
So exceptional that no one could even muster a hint of jealousy.
Perhaps seeing Zhang Guangli’s concern, Lu Xuan continued, "Traditional Chinese dicine has been passed down for thousands of years without interruption, and now shows signs of revival for a reason. Its magical effects are one aspect, but that’s not all."
