A netizen
gave his comment after he had read
my
blogs:
"Each medicine has something
poisonous."
I
replied: What you said is right !
“Each medicine has
something poisonous .”
In fact,
this is the Third Law of Mediccal
Science.
According
to the third law , we can realize easily that
both
traditional Chinese medicine and western
medicines have something
poisonous.
So , we
can't say that traditional Chinese
medicine
only means
toxicity while western medicine
only
means effectiveness.
And by
the third law , we also can easily explain
lot
toxic and
side effects caused by western medicine
,
and
explain a large number of facts that our
TCM
(
Traditional
Chinese Medicine
) can
effectively
treat many
diseases.
In fact ,
both patients and doctors should face up
to
the toxicity of drugs , and
the understanding of drug
toxicity should
be objective and fair .
So
, doctors mustn't cajole or
cheat patients
by words
like "All
western medicines are effective , while
all
traditional Chinese
medicines are toxic "
.
Otherwise
, it is very irresponsible.
Objectively speaking , many western medicines
are
also toxic.
So , we
should't let western medicines
muddle through
using all
the words like "Toxic side effects
" .
For
examples :
1.
Streptomycin, kanamycin, gentamycin, etc.
have
obvious
toxicity to the cranial nerves , which
can
cause tinnitus,
dizziness, and deafness;
2.
Chloramphenicol, synthamycin and most
anti-cancer
drugs
are toxic to the hematopoietic system, which can
inhibit
bone marrow hematopoiesis and cause
leukopenia and
thrombocytopenia.
3. In the
1950s , thalidomide , a new drug in Western
Europe ,
was widely used as a sedative in pregnancy
reaction
, resulting in more than 8000
deformed
fetuses
.
4. As
we know , sublingual
nitroglycerin can
effectively
treat
angina pectoris in
an appropriate amount .
But on
the other hand , nitroglycerin is also an explosive .
And
those who always want to ruin our TCM will not
be
unaware
of such basic knowledge , right ?
Of
course , excessive dosage and long duration
of
taking
medicine are often important factors
that
induce
drug toxicity .
Therefore
, when we want to avoid the toxic effects
of
drugs as
far as possible, the most important is not
to
tell traditional Chinese
medicines from western
medicine
, but to know the medicine
efficacy ,
to strictly
control
the dosage of
drugs.
Speak
specifically , the dosage of drugs should be
strictly
controlled
within the effective dosage
level , not reach
the
toxic dosage as far as possible .
And also
, the experience of patients' using drug should
be
considered in detail , and the drug reaction
of
patients should
also be observed in detail .
At
last, in a word :
And
according to this third law , we can also get
the
following
inference:
Whether traditional Chinese
medicine or
western
medicine
, the toxicity is known and controllable
.
