Traditional Chinese Medicine Guide

Chinese medicine is not science, what “pseudo” in there?
money Lui Ming
There is a view that medicine is pseudo-science, at worst, it really is a senseless argument.
science? According to the dictionary to say, science is reflected in the natural, social, and thinking of objective laws, the division of knowledge. The strict sense of the science is only after the 17th century Newtonian mechanics, and that science must meet three requirements, namely logical reasoning, mathematical description, experimental verification, must have the objectivity, accuracy, repeatability, verifiability, born before 2000 years of Chinese medicine, of course, not science.
but we can not conclude that Chinese medicine is a pseudo-science. In fact, more than 2,000 years ago, very few scientific factors, people naturally will not be interested would not be likely to engage in pseudo-science. What is pseudo-science? What is pseudo-science? Some can not stand to go at least this: the first is false logic, the second is the number of fictitious description of the experimental data of the three is false. How, the Chinese used these false things to deceive the world before?
Now, quite a few skilled are on the Chinese with great fuss, the basic point that the Chinese medicine treatment only during suggesting it. How, in 2000 years, China has appeared on the medical history master, how do you explain that? Many cases, some famous doctor face difficult and complicated cases, to get inspiration from the Huang Di Nei Jing, symptomatic medication, a significant effect, how do you explain that? Famous doctor Hua Tuo headache diagnosis and treatment of fever in the two officials, opened to a laxative, and the other opened diaphoretic, also cured of their disease, can “crash” and “sweat” are not a part of psychological suggestion? If you have diarrhea attack, let you open a laxative medicine to try to see if your diarrhea can “imply” cure?
In fact, science, only a tiny fraction of human life, space, science, there are non-scientific, as well as anti-science, but also as pseudo-science. “Non-scientific” natural “is not science.” “Not scientific” fact, many things that we can put it roughly into three categories: one is religion, superstition, astrology and so on, they are not scientific; the second category, such as philosophy, art, etc., which, while knowledge, but not is scientific knowledge, it is also a non-scientific; third category is the former science, including myths, science fiction, and so on. Very wide range of non-science, and some non-science does not necessarily lower than that science is just division of a difference in terminology, such as philosophy and art and so on.
“anti-science” in us, is associated with the outrageous, in the West, “anti-science” is not derogatory. Western anti-science generally have two situations, one due to beliefs, such as the United States, some states have passed laws in the textbooks to use creationism instead of Darwin’s theory of evolution. This in our view, is anti-science. However, in some Americans, there is not always the case, because more is due because of their faith. They may think that this means a belief against another faith. First, due to criticism of science, critical purpose is not to deny the science, but to the development of science, promoting scientific revolution, in a sense also contain “anti” means. Human cloning is of a scientific category, against human cloning, they belong to the scope of the anti-science.
“pseudo-science” is neither a general non-scientific, nor commonly referred to as anti-scientific. “Non-science” in English is the non-science, “anti-science” in English is anti-science, and pseudo-science is a pseudo-science. Pseudo here means in the Chinese language, false, false will. The type or form of pseudo-science is diverse. Associate professor of Peking University Liu Huajie be divided into three categories: 1. “Itinerant-type” pseudo-science; 2. “College-type” pseudo-science; 3. “Powerful salon-type” pseudo-science. The key lies in a pseudo-science “false”, which sustains a treasure of its camouflage.
was the Chinese for thousands of years, or “Yellow Emperor” was set as the Chinese attack against the Chinese, to ban the basis of Chinese medicine, they realize that being able Classic worthy of note is the classic understanding of the phenomenon of life is life theoretical peak. TCM theory irreplaceable. Use scientific means to study Chinese medicine, we may try to use science to transform medicine, may be very absurd to reject the scientific theory of Chinese medicine, is foolish.
90s of last century, Fudan University, Professor Phelan against all the odds, the mobilization of all relevant scientists and equipment, Shanghai, spent nearly ten years, finally found concrete evidence of the existence of several meridians. Before this study, Tianjin has a research group in Meridian, has found that when the needle into the acupuncture points, the points will produce large amounts of calcium ions around. After tireless research, they discovered the existence of material evidence meridian, the study paper published in March 1998 for the first time in mainland China, “Chinese Science Bulletin” on, and then invited the World Health Organization in 2000, “traditional medicine seminar will be “published, also in 2001,” Cross-Strait Symposium on Chinese Medicine, “published. Fudan University, Shanghai research team led by Dr. Ding Guanghong group, then found that most of the body’s capillaries, irregular shape, except near the point were the rules of the capillary parallel linear and parallel to the meridian. After fluid dynamics calculations and found that adjacent points in between as long as there is a certain pressure difference, the meridians in the body will be formed in the pipeline outside the field of capillary flow between the organizations. This is a bit like ocean currents, there is no pipe, but water. This is very similar to those described in Huang Di Nei Jing Rong Wei Wei of the gas in gas, Rong gas is in the blood vessels, where flow field found in control, it may be the Wei Qi. Chinese Medicine Research Institute scientists have used 128-channel EEG system to study acupuncture may EEG changes after gas was found, the meridian system can be observed. They also found that acupuncture treatment of diseases and drug corresponding corresponding diseases have similar brain responses. All of these studies have proved highly defaming the Chinese meridian theory, is entirely tenable.
for a proposition, a theory, a subject, if you do not understand or understand very little, do not easy to deny it. Such as qigong, such as Chinese medicine. If you want to hit it, you first have to study it. Some people proposed to study Chinese history, read a little case of famous doctors, Chinese medicine experts with an open mind to ask for advice, as this will be a little voice. We still do not know how our ancestors discovered the body meridian, meridian theory, but the body is indeed a treasure left by the ancestors of the medical history of many renowned Chinese medicine meridian theory under a number of incurable diseases cured. Yin and yang theory, five elements theory of phase grams, the same.
Chinese Medicine, each has its advantages. Science is not the criterion of truth, if it is confined to “scientific” Criminal Suit, becomes even more problematic.
