(1. Introduction)
Recently
, I happened to watch a
video in
which
the
speaker
talked about the toxicity of our TCM (
Traditional
Chinese
Medicine) interminably . but in fact , what he
had
said is
nothing but pretentious
verbiage.
And it is clearly
malicious
that this
guy focused on the toxicity of
TCM and made a big fuss . And
even more it seems that
it will not be enjoyable for
him if his talking
lasted
for less than few centuries.
In fact
, What he had done is not necessary
. And
there
are at
lease three reasons for it:
1. Our
TCM has always been very frank about the drug
toxicity so
that we often say :
So our
TCM has never dodged the toxicity
of medicine.
and moreover,
the toxicity of TCM has also included
the
bias
of TCM , and in this way ,
our standard is more extensive and demanding
than that of western
medicine.
2、Our
TCM use the toxicity or bias of medicine to treat
diseases effectively and meanwhile taking
medicine is temporary. Therefore, the toxicity of
TCM is both knowable
and
controllable, and also there is no serious problem now that science
and technology are so developed.
3、In
fact, western medicine also has
toxicity.
But in
this video , the speaker spant a lot of time to
show
the
ways to cover up the toxicity
of western medicine
,
such as
double blind trials , and even more he wanted to
make us
believe that western medicine will be almost no
toxic if it had passed the double blind test ,
and TMC is
useless
before such test ,
for the double blind test
is something called "
International Standard".
In fact,
this is a real prejudice , although many
persons
take it
for granted ,
for such prejudice is not worth
to
be
trusted.
As we
know , we take medicine in order to treat
diseases
effectively , not
only to be subject to something
called
"
International Standard ", and after all
, "International Standard" is
only for reference.
In fact ,
there are at lease the following reasons for what I
had said:
3.1
Compared with the dynamic development of
science
and
technology, International Standards are
always lagging
behind.
Moreover , International
Standards are
also
dynamic,
and will be increased or decreased by
referencing
to many
successful or failed cases.
3.2
When we have taken a certain medicine, if it is
really effective, we needn't to
care whether we have referred to
"International Standards" , of
course, a nerd never thinks
so.
3.3
When we
take a
certain medicine
according to "International
Standards" , but the medicine has no effect , We
needn't to show off these to show how normative we are, of course,
a nerd never thinks so yet.
In fact,
after watching such video , I felt very sick , just
like
swallowing a fly ! And if we
recall the history of our TCM
which has
been rudely shamed for more than 100 years
,
I will vaguely feel that
there is indeed a terrible group of
Pseudo
Scholars lurking around us.
So, what
are these Pseudo
Scholars ?
