Medical Science Is 

Never A Sophistry


7. Blind Or Not )





Till now, some guy is still professing that 

The deceptive nature of TCM 
lies in its therapeutic effect . 


In order to tout such a junk, he even used 
"Double-blind trials" as a  "Big Killer " to 
scare others, it's really pitiful and ridiculous !

In fact, just a little analysis can reveal what 
kind of  junk this guy is touting .


Or please think about a question:

Since the double-blind trials are so important 
and sophisticated, it cannot be done casually, 
for there must be many conditions that need 
to be met in advance, right ?


For example:

1. The treatment of rare diseases

the sample size is too small for it's too 
difficult to gather enough cases.

What should doctors do at this time ? 

Shouldn't such patients receive any treatment ?


2. The sudden outbreak of the epidemic

There was no time to conduct any double-blind 
trial, not even enough time to gather all the 
necessary materials.

What should doctors do at this time ? 

Shouldn't such patients receive any treatment ?


3. Although there are many cases, the 
discrete distribution

In space, the cases distribute widely, and in 
terms of time, it may take several years to 
discover a few cases, so that it is almost 
impossible to analyze effectively.

What should doctors do at this time ?

Shouldn't such patients receive any treatment ?


4. The condition is progressing rapidly

The condition is progressing rapidly, so that 
any treatment is no longer needed before 
getting a clear understanding of what is going 
on.

What should doctors do at this time?

… …

In short, can't treatment be achieved before 
conducting a double-blind trials ? 

To leave the patients to their own fate ?


But it is worth noting that in order to preach 
the double-blind trial, this guy also specially 
introduced the first effective treatment case 
of Ebola virus happened in 2014.


In 2014, the Ebola virus suddenly ravaged 
Africa, resulting in a mortality rate of over 
50% for patients, which was indeed very 
dangerous.

At that time, two American healthcare workers 
were unfortunately infected and after careful 
treatment upon returning to their home country, 
they recovered and were discharged. 

Afterall, this successful case is good news 
for us humans.


But this guy used this case to mock the 
methods used by TCM ( Traditional Chinese 
Medicine ), only for none of TCM were 
conducted through double-blind trails, 
which is really indefinable  !

But in fact, the effective treatment of Ebola 
virus patients in 2014 was completed without 
any double-blind trial, and this successful 
treatment also sternly warned us:


1. Double blind trials are just a research 
method, not a clinical norm: no one has the 
right to use the absence of double blind 
trials as a reason to prevent effective 
treatment !


2. The use of treatment methods that have 
not undergone double-blind trails cannot 
exclude the self-healing nature of diseases 
or the comforting effects of drugs, but as 
long as such treatment methods are effective, 
it is good enough and understandable. 

After all, medical science should prioritize 
treating diseases and saving lives, and in 
any case, medical science cannot be just 
a report analysis of double-blind trials  !

3. For highly contagious and dangerous 
diseases, any effective treatment method 
is extremely valuable in the absence of 
any precedent, and the lack of double-blind 
trials should not be used as an excuse to 
prevent the treatment of patients.

4. Whether it is traditional Chinese medicine 
or Western medicine, if effective treatment 
is achieved through treatment methods that 
have not undergone double-blind trials, even 
if there are some self-healing and comforting 
effects, their actual therapeutic effects 
cannot be completely denied.

So, if traditional Chinese medicine uses 
treatment methods that have not undergone 
double-blind trials to achieve effective 
treatment, we cannot arbitrarily say that 
such treatment method is purely self-healing 
and comforting, without any actual 
therapeutic effect !

As we know, the essence of such problems is 
that some guys intentionally use professional 
terms such as double-blind trial to mislead 
patients !


So, in order to completely solve such problems 
and stop those pseudo scholars from being 
unreasonably attack on TCM (Traditional 
Chinese Medicine)for a long time, we should 
return to the original intention of medical 
science as soon as possible ! 

FIRST, let's think about what medical science 
is.

What is medical science ?

According to " Chencius ShuoWen Jiezi " , we 
know that Medical Science is  the science to 
study effective  methods to cure diseases for 
patients.

So, medical science is not just a poor analysis 
tool only for double-blind trials !

According to this definition of medical science, 
any treatment plan, as long as it is truly 
effective, regardless of where it comes from 
or whether it has undergone double-blind 
trials, naturally belongs to the treasure house 
of medical knowledge !

SECOND, we should also adhere to the first 
law of medical science, and at the same time, 
we should also adhere to the core principles 
of medical science.

Specifically, first to adhere to the first 
law of medical science, Namely, We 
should discuss science according to 
objective facts, and meanwhile we 
should discuss medical science 
according to curative effects.

Then to adhere to the core principles of 
medical science, namely ,medical science 
must be based on facts , guided by 
therapeutic effects and must regard 
patients focus as guide and treating 
diseases as its first duty . 

As long as we adhere to all of these principles 
consistently, all scams are to be swept out, and 
even double-blind trials cannot become a wall 
to prevent effective treatment !

Therefore, in order to completely eliminate such 
shameless interference to TCM, based on the 
original intention and these principls of medical 
sciences, we can easily draw the following 
conclusions: 

Any medical plan must have clear factual basis 
and clear therapeutic effects, which can be 
proven by a large number of facts, patients, 
or perhaps double-blind trials, but not 
necessarily limited to double-blind trials.

--- --- This is the principle of double clearness 
in medical science !

From the perspective of the development 
history of medical science, we can see that 
"The principle of double clearness in 
medical science is more important, 
feasible, and scientific than 
double-blind trials ! "

For example, the immune method for 
smallpox was developed according to 
this principle and not be limited to 
double-blind trials at its very beginning.

The same was true for the effective treatment 
of two patients infected with Ebola virus in 
2014.

It can be seen that the double-blind trial is 
only a later stage research work of a medical 
plan.

As long as the treatment is indeed effective, 
even without undergoing double-blind trials, 
there is nothing remarkable !

Now, we can see, if someone is particularly 
good at playing with professional terminology, 
intentionally avoiding the core principles of 
medical science, intentionally evading the 
responsibility of treating and saving patients, 
insisting on using double-blind trails to deceive 
patients, and even by this way, he insist on  
preventing effective treatments in TCM, then 
he is a professional fraud, and we don't need to 
care about any of his word games.
