Unnecessary Sophistry
( 22. Therapeutic Efficacy Is  Medical Science)




Strangely enough, now some guy still says:

"The theory of Yin Yang and Five Elements 
in TCM ( Traditional Chinese Medicine) 
lacks logic and precision, so it is not 
 
scientific ."

Actually, for a long time, such unreasonable 
entanglements with TCM have been rampant
 and endless, which is truly despicable !


In fact, whether as doctors, patients or 
potential patients, we should have a clear 
understanding of medical science.

1. Medical science is the science to study 
effective methods for treating diseases.

In other words, it is never the work for 
medical science to try all the ways to 
deny all the known effective treatment 
methods !

So, any effective method of treating diseases 
and its formation process naturally belongs 
to the treasure trove of medical scientific 
knowledge, whether it comes from TCM or 
Western medicine, or whether it comes from 
academia or not.


2. Based on the patient's symptoms and 
applying a kind of medical theory, a set 
of treatment methods can be inferred. 

As long as this set of methods is often 
effective, then this medical theory is a 
some reliable and complete medical 
theory, whether it is based on molecular 
biology, anatomy, or the theory of yin 
and yang and five elements, or whether 
this medical theory is understood and 
accepted by all scholars.


3. Nowadays, many people disdain and 
sneer at the theory of Yin Yang and 
Five Elements, but in fact, such behavior 
may not be rational. 

Objectively speaking, different professions 
have different views on the theory of Yin 
Yang and Five Elements, which is normal 
and understandable.

However, in the face of a large number of 
objective facts, we should still have a 
rational understanding of the theory of yin 
and yang and the five elements.

For a long time, TCM physicians have indeed 
been able to apply the theory of yin and yang 
and the five elements to dialectically treat 
specific diseases of patients, and  it is 
very effective .

All of these have been proven by a large 
amount of facts, not to mention the constant 
coverage on television.

If we insist on completely denying these 
numerous objective facts, it is obviously 
self deception, and that is not a scientific 
attitude.


In fact, anyone with a slight scientific 
spirit will understand the following 
conclusion:

The most important thing is not what theory 
we have already understood, but how we 
rationally analyze objective facts that we 
currently cannot understand.

So, completely denying these objective facts 
is extremely irresponsible and foolish, 
because any fool would also arbitrarily 
deny a large number of objective facts.


In fact, we can temporarily regard the 
theory of Yin Yang and Five Elements 
as a fast and effective modeling 
method in TCM. 

This modeling method objectively 
describes the relationship between 
symptoms and pathology, as well 
 
as the mechanism of TCM treatment, 
 
making it easier for TCM physicians 
 
to prescribe and provide timely and 
 
effective treatment for many patients.

As for the correspondence between the 
theory of Yin Yang - Five Elements and 
molecular biology or anatomy, it can be 
 
gradually explored in the future without 
 
rushing to achieve it. 

In fact, it is also impossible to rush to 
achieve it.


So, currently, no one can stop the effective 
rescue of patients by TCM just because he 
does not understand TCM's treatment 
methods, or even use this as an excuse to 
hinder the development of TCM and 
ultimately hinder the development of 
medical science !


In fact, although the gradual understanding 
of knowledge may not be satisfactory, it is 
objectively unavoidable.

For example, we humans have been consuming 
grains for at least 8000 years, but we have 
only gradually begun to understand the 
various molecular structures and nutritional 
values of grains in the past century.

If someone had believed from the very 
beginning:

"The nutritional value of consuming 
grains cannot be explained yet, so 
we should not continue to eat any
grains from now on."

Then humans would have had no chance 
of survival and development, which shows 
that this kind of thinking is extremely 
wrong and foolish.

Perhaps some guy still oppose it, then please 
ask him to review his experiences while 
studying geometry.

Some geometry problems seem difficult and 
almost impossible to prove at first.

However, if one or a few auxiliary lines 
are drawn, these geometry problems 
become very simple in an instant.

At this point, there is no need to say:

"There were no auxiliary lines here 
before. Drawing auxiliary lines like 
this is fraudulent and lacks scientific 
basis ."


In fact, if he has rich experience in 
solving problems, he will know how 
to draw auxiliary lines by looking at 
geometry question types.


The same principle applies:

The theory of Yin Yang and Five Elements 
is an auxiliary system for understanding 
the operating mechanism of our human 
body. 

Based on this auxiliary system, we can 
easily understand the operating 
mechanism of the human body, 
discover the formation mechanism 
of many diseases, and understand the 
treatment mechanism of many 
traditional Chinese medicines.

So experts know how to prescribe when they 
see a patient's symptoms, but now there are 
too many people who do not understand the 
theory of Yin Yang and Five Elements, which 
has caused many unnecessary misunderstandings 
and troubles.

Of course, there are also many guys who 
deliberately pretend not to understand, 
deliberately make trouble for TCM, so, 
such guys are extremely despicable !


4. As a Chinese, it is shameful that he 
does not know TCM. 

If he does not have the ability to learn 
TCM, it is also forgivable.

But if he still takes pride in this and even 
ignores a large number of objective facts, 
ignores the pain and helplessness of similar 
patients, and conversely says that TCM is 
unscientific, it is truly unforgivable !

Similarly, there is a math major who is not 
good at solving differential equations, so 
it's best not to  boast about it anymore.

But if he insists on saying something like:

"Differential equations do not belong 
to mathematics, let alone science."

Then he is shameless !



In the same way, as a Chinese, it is no 
matter that he does not know about 
TCM. 

But if he insists that "the theory of TCM 
is unscientific", it is obviously not a 
glorious thing !

In any case, we should always keep in mind 
the first law of medical science:

We should discuss scientific problems 
based on objective facts, while discussing 
medical problems based on actual 
therapeutic effects !


At the same time, in order to permanently 
prevent unwarranted interference with the 
development of medical science, we may 
simply say that:

The objective facts are science and the 
actual therapeutic effects are medical
science !
