But it
doesn't mean
that contemporary science can
explain
these
correlations right
now.
Maybe in
the near future ,
w estern
medicine
will
understand
these correlations
.
So, it is not
necessary to be in a hurry
to
understand
these
correlations or even want
to interpret everything
from the
theory of TCM with western
medicial terms
.
Now,if we
interpret TCM in that
way, we possiblely
waste a
lot of research
resources or
ask for nothing
but insults
only because ourselves .
For
example , there
is a very popular TCM textbook
,
it
first introduces
the five zang
viscera based
on the
basic
knowledge of Western
medicine,
and then
introduces
them once
again based on the theory
of
TCM.
But in
this way, it
make readers feel something far
fetched or
even something ridiculous in
the end .
All of
these are just because
that we go
too far and
we
eager impatiently
to explain
these correlations
between
TCM and Western medicine , but it is not
the
time for
such explaining now .
In
fact, our TCM has it's own
theory and there are
a
large
number of actual cases to prove TCM theory
to
be
effective in treatments for
many diseases,
and
lots
of such cases have already
been reported on TV.
Such a
combination of theory and
practice is
good
enough.
Therefore,
it is not necessary to borrow those poor theories
from Western medicine to explain our
TCM,
or it
will mess our TCM theory up,so that it
will
make things
worse and worse .
Let us
take a look at
the history
of science
and
technology ,
then we will
see
that the correlations
among different
kinds of
knowledge
have been
realized little by
little.
Such
realizating cases can
be found
in this
history
here and
there.
Even the
knowledge correlations between TCM
and
Western
medicine are no exception .
