A Quitter's Reading List: Wanted to Recommend It One Second, Dropped It the Next
I drop books every day, so I mostly recommend new ones. The list owner has a terminal case of laziness (seriously). My tastes aren’t all that varied, but I’ll read anything as long as it’s good. My standards for writing aren’t that high. Just don’t make it awkward 👌 No female lead, one female lead, or multiple female leads: I’m fine with any of them, as long as it’s well written 👌 I’m fickle when it comes to reading and lose interest after three minutes, so recommending long novels is difficult.

Why does Chinese medicine seem to be lonely now? First, the causes of diseases There are too many weird diseases that have emerged in modern times, and many of them are caused by human beings seeking death. There are not enough patients and time for old Chinese medicine doctors to conduct experimental research. Western medicine does not need to know so much, it only needs to use instruments to solve the lesions. Wherever there is a problem, cut it (although Chinese medicine can also cut it, but considering the subsequent recuperation, life and physiological problems, it is rarely used. Western medicine does not need to worry so much. Drugs that suppress the reaction should be used first, and the body will get used to it.) If it is not easy to cut, specific biological drugs can be used to cultivate the DNA of the bacteria. Traditional Chinese medicine is currently unable to solve these strange diseases Second: The problem of time and patients Nowadays, when people have a physical problem, they immediately want to use the fastest way to solve it. For example, if you have a cold, you can take a few cold medicines and it will be cured in one or two days. Unlike traditional Chinese medicine, it purely depends on the individual's physical fitness. If the physical fitness is not good, you have to drink medicine to recuperate the body for several days. One is quick-acting but has major side effects, and the other is slow-acting and has side effects such that you can see and smell the smell of traditional Chinese medicine on your body from several meters away 🙂 Third: The most important issue, medical qualifications This thing is a standard for Western medicine. The directions of learning Chinese medicine are different. How to take the exam? Moreover, Chinese medicine needs a large number of patients to verify the knowledge it has learned. The same symptom may be manifested by several different diseases. Then the problem is, you don't even have a qualification certificate, where can you get patients to verify it for you 😅 In short, it is a matter of philosophy. Chinese medicine is to solve the problem, while Western medicine is to solve the guy who raised the problem 🙂. Needless to say, the one who looks more awesome on the surface needs no further explanation. But is Chinese medicine really useless? Precisely not 🙂 The path of traditional Chinese medicine is much wilder than that of Western medicine In the eyes of such a small group of people, what does Western medicine do? Emergency situations save lives, so why don't I use Chinese medicine to nurse my body back so that this emergency does not exist? Moreover, Chinese medicine does not cause serious drug resistance or sequelae. Life is more important than anything else. If something goes wrong, it will either be a big problem for the group company or a loss for the country 🙂 This is why Chinese medicine seems to be failing. In fact, you can't reach this level, and people are too lazy to play with you. This is why most people can only see that traditional Chinese medicine only includes gynecology, andrology, bruises and fractures 🥵
There are many reasons for the decline of traditional Chinese medicine. I will talk about a few. Traditional Chinese medicine talks about meridians and Qi. These two points are not recognized by Western medicine and are considered unscientific. Our country is also using the theories of Western medicine to identify the pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine, and some are indeed successful, such as artemisinin. But what can many Chinese medicines and Western medicines identify? For example, a Chinese medicine doctor said in a TV interview that when he was young, he used Zhongjing's prescription to treat a patient and prescribed a medicine, which contained floating wheat. He felt that it was of no use, so he omitted it and did not add it. Afterwards, the treatment effect was not satisfactory. Later, he added Fumai again, and the patient recovered within two days. Why? Chinese medicine talks about Qi, and floating wheat has the Qi of floating up. Can you use science to explain it? The state requires a qualification certificate to practice medicine. Without it, your family cannot treat others. Those in the city are fine, but what about the old Chinese medicine doctors in the countryside? Many of them can't even write a few big characters and rely on passing down their knowledge from generation to generation. How can they take the exam? Some people also say that traditional Chinese medicine is slow in its effectiveness. During the Republic of China, when penicillin was not invented, there was a competition between Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. There was a big fuss at that time. As a result, our traditional Chinese medicine won. Traditional Chinese medicine is slow to take effect because the country now regulates the dosage of many traditional Chinese medicines. For example, aconite is poisonous when taken alone. However, in Zhongjing's prescriptions, the dosage of aconite in some prescriptions exceeds the national regulations by several times. How do you ask a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to prescribe it? Don't tell me that poisonous ones cannot be used. Then tell me whether Western medicine has no side effects? Now more than 90% of traditional Chinese medicines are monopolized by Japan and South Korea. Let's think about the reason.
Nowadays, it is usually the hospital that has no effect before going to a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. I will tell you a case of my own. I had acute pancreatitis the year before last. I stayed in the ICU for five days and was in pain for three days. I was observed in the general ward for more than ten days before being discharged. It cost nearly 100,000. Half a year later, I committed another crime after drinking a bowl of chicken soup. This time I saw a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. My father said that this traditional Chinese medicine doctor is very powerful. I didn't pay much attention to it because I was in so much pain that I just wanted to go to the hospital to take painkillers. The doctor looked to be in his forties, but was actually nearly 60 years old. He took a plaster and put it on my stomach and said that it would stop hurting in half an hour. If it hadn't been so painful, I would have laughed out loud because it took about 10 minutes for the pain to take effect when I was calmed down in the hospital. He took a plaster to me and told me that it would stop hurting in half an hour. You can imagine the result. I was slapped hard in the face, but I was very excited because the plaster was only 60 a piece. The doctor said Change 3 plasters every 2 days and it will be fine in a week. Whether you will relapse later is up to you. I know you will think I am making up a story after reading this. If I hadn't experienced it myself, I wouldn't believe it. One side is close to 100,000 and the other side is 180. The difference is too ridiculous. And on the other hand, I have all kinds of instruments. I draw blood several times a day. I am not allowed to eat or drink. I asked if there are any taboos. Just eat normally. Don't eat anything that is too hard or oily. Of course, there are Chinese medicines to regulate the body. One pair a day. Decoction it in the morning and evening. And I was asked to take it for a week at a time, check my pulse every other week, and then remove or add some medicinal materials according to my physical condition. After three months of follow-up conditioning, the prescription was revised 7 times. There has been no recurrence until now. I can eat fried peanuts normally. That is, I will feel uncomfortable after smoking too much, but I stopped in time and there was no problem
Goldfinger setting failed! In an industry like traditional Chinese medicine, the design content of Golden Finger is too game-like, and the serious charm of the industry is completely destroyed. The greatest charm of the industry cannot be displayed, and it is a failure!
To say whether Chinese medicine is a science, we must first clarify what science is. Science means learning by subject, and then refers to the detailed classification of various knowledge, such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc., To form a gradually complete knowledge system. Science is the knowledge about the practice of discovering inventions and creations. It is the general term for the knowledge system for human exploration, research and understanding of the laws of change in the universe. Science is an orderly knowledge system based on testable explanations and predictions of the form and organization of objective things. It is not science as you think the current level of science and technology is. The theory of traditional Chinese medicine is not metaphysics or philosophy, but also science. It is a scientific theory at the same level as the theory of relativity. The theory of traditional Chinese medicine is the summary and utilization of changes in the human body and the laws of nature. Who says that the theory of traditional Chinese medicine is not science? Either you don't understand traditional Chinese medicine or you don't understand what science is!
I would like to make a suggestion. Now that pharmaceutical companies have money and science and technology are well established, it is time to use scientific and technological means to thoroughly analyze the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. Through human experiments, we can fully analyze how the properties of traditional Chinese medicine work in the human body and what the mechanism of drug treatment of the human body is. Then the experimental results will be used to analyze the medicinal properties of each traditional Chinese medicine. Once the analysis is thorough, the combination of medicinal properties will be carried out. If the theory of traditional Chinese medicine can be solved systematically, the development of traditional Chinese medicine will definitely advance by leaps and bounds, and even surpass Western medicine to become the dominant position. If the country disagrees, just pretend I didn't say it. After all, the theory of traditional Chinese medicine can only be fully analyzed through human experiments.
I feel that Chinese medicine does not want to make progress and rest on its laurels. In the past, the ancients tasted hundreds of herbs before they came up with Chinese medicine. Now that transportation is so developed, there are countless herbal medicines from all over the world, but they are not systematically included in the system of Chinese medicine.
I have seen a video before in which a Chinese medicine doctor said (the following are the original words): "I found that the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic and the Treatise on Febrile Diseases have a lot of wisdom that transcends time and space For example, at that time he said: The kidney governs the bones, and the kidneys govern the bones. We all understand that the kidney governs water. When we were studying physiology and hygiene in junior high school, we talked about the kidney governing the metabolism of water; But the kidney governs growth and development, and the growth and development of a person's life is closely related to the rise and fall of the essence in the kidney. I can understand this, but I can't understand The kidney governs reproduction, but that's not reproduction. Is it related to the uterus, endocrine and ovary? What is the relationship between the kidney and the ear? The kidney and the ear are both internal organs and the other is an external organ. How can this be related? Everyone knows that the kidney controls stool. It's the digestive system! The kidneys are connected to the two yins. I really couldn't understand this at the time. I've always wondered, is Chinese medicine really scientific? American case In October 1999, a child was born in Maine. The child's two feet grew together. It was commonly known as Mermaid Syndrome, which is a skeletal deformity and usually causes fetal death. As a result, the child was born alive and lived for more than 24 hours. The child's parents told the doctor that they should keep the child no matter what. When the doctor examined the child, they found that the child had no right kidney, no right ovary, and the left kidney was only a quarter of a normal person. The left ovary was incomplete. You can see that the bones were still deformed, the kidneys were deformed, the bones were deformed, and the worst part was that she had no bladder or urethra. , There is no uterus, no vagina, no rectum, no anus. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the kidneys are responsible for the two bowels. The kidneys are responsible for the growth and development of the kidneys. The kidneys are responsible for the ears. I didn't understand it at first. Later, it was clinically discovered that any antibiotic that is toxic to the kidneys will lead to renal dysfunction. Now research has made it clear that the kidneys and auditory nerves are in the same germ layer during embryonic development. They develop from the division of cells. It turns out that they are related to one yuan and two branches. I wonder how our ancestors knew the relationship between these organs more than 2,500 years ago or even earlier. So I knew it immediately. It turns out that traditional Chinese medicine is right, it's just that we people today have not realized this problem. "
I personally feel that the biggest difficulty restricting traditional Chinese medicine is raw materials. Many western medicines can be synthesized, but traditional Chinese medicine cannot. Wild medicines are effective but in small quantities, and artificially grown medicines are large in quantity but not effective enough. As environmental pollution intensifies, the efficacy of medicines will become smaller and smaller. If the problem of the source of raw materials cannot be solved, it will be really difficult for traditional Chinese medicine to develop and grow!
Is this going to become a miracle medical article? Can't we develop pharmaceutical companies well? Popular pharmaceuticals can also benefit the general public. The last 10 chapters of yours have been all about treating diseases of high-ranking officials. They are all old tricks and not many people like to read them.
