Chapter 118 Proprietary Medicines

In fact, not just this April.

As early as the middle of three years ago, an authoritative medical journal under the top academic journal "Science" published a paper on the "decisive relationship" between 'aristochic acid' and liver cancer, and the whole world was full of opinion about the 'horse' Douzhong acid' started a heated discussion.

When this carcinogen entered the eyes of the world, the public suddenly discovered it after conducting investigations.

In 03, the World Health Organization listed this substance as a class I carcinogen. Since 04, the Hong Kong Island Health Organization has strictly prohibited the import of aristolochic acid into Hong Kong, and it has been listed as a prohibited drug.

However, in this context.

Many Chinese patent medicines in China still contain aristolochic acid...

Therefore, those who suffered from it were gradually exposed, and were also used by those who wanted to occupy the moral high ground and criticize Chinese medicine.

But what about practicality?

Most "orthodox Chinese medicine families" including the Zhou family are well aware of the harm of aristolochic acid to the human body.The medicinal songs of thousands of years ago have already told about the damage of various herbal medicines.

There is a well-known saying that medicine is three-point poison.

But for some special cases, Chinese medicine is still used as appropriate...

Because of a very simple logic, both Chinese and Western medicines will inevitably have an impact and harm on the human body.

Which painful foot has been caught by Chinese medicine?

Side effects are unknown!
Compared with the standardization of Western medicine, if the side effects are not clear, it will never be allowed to be marketed, or the dosage of harmful substances will be reduced. The side effects will be clearly marked in the instructions, and it will be set as a "prescription drug". Prescribe medication.

But it is undeniable that many of these traditional Chinese medicines that are toxic or have unclear side effects can indeed restrain symptoms.

Say something that will be mistaken for stealing the concept.

The side effects of traditional Chinese medicine are not yet clear, just like rheumatism, rheumatoid and other diseases that Western medicine is helpless, but Chinese medicine treatment often has significant curative effect, and for Western medicine, the effective method of this treatment is not yet clear , they could not find any results.

You want to talk about stealing the concept...

Well, Western medicine directly eliminates toxic drugs, but it cannot cure some special diseases, but Chinese medicine often uses strong drugs to fight poison with poison.

Yes, such an approach has indeed caused some impact on the human body, but it has rescued the ongoing evil disease and greatly restored the health of the human body and the quality of life.

In fact, this is the meaning of treatment, which is greater than the adverse effects. Different people have different opinions on the advantages and disadvantages.

Yes, the mysteries of Chinese medicine are often difficult to explain, because Chinese medicine contains principles such as "metaphysics" and "philosophy".

And there is an interesting saying in the Western world...

When the study of materialism comes to an end, many things that cannot be explained can only become idealism.

Many top scientists were considered insane by the outside world in their later years, precisely because they started idealistic research.

So now let’s take a correct attitude towards Chinese medicine...

In fact, as early as thousands of years ago, Chinese medicine has already made a good balance between materialism and idealism.

Of course, I don't mean to praise Chinese medicine now, but just discussing the facts.

Closer to home.

The side effects of traditional Chinese medicine are inevitable, and serious Chinese medicine will find ways to prevent the occurrence of side effects, either by neutralizing the nature of the medicine, or by taking appropriate medicine according to the patient's condition, or not taking medicine.

On the other hand, there have been cases of 'death and illness caused by Chinese patent medicines' in recent years.

Are Chinese patent medicines with bad ingredients the original sin?

of course not!

You can think about it carefully, when you have a cold and a fever, you never go to see a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, but choose a western medicine clinic or hospital.

Even in the tertiary hospitals, most of the prescriptions of Western medicine internal medicine doctors are——

Triple X cold spirit, cephalosporin, amoxicillin.

Or, Compound Antiviral Granules, Longdan Xiegan Pills.

The former, Chinese patent medicine + western medicine antibiotics.

The latter, Chinese patent medicine + Chinese patent medicine.

Many people actually don't know why Chinese patent medicine is called Chinese patent medicine, because it contains western medicine ingredients.

In addition to aristolochic acid, there is also a substance that can burden the kidneys called acetaminophen.

Now that we know the ingredients of the drug, we analyze the two prescriptions——

The former, acetaminophen + acetaminophen + acetaminophen = large doses cause kidney burden (renal failure, uremia).

The latter, acetaminophen + aristolochic acid = kidney burden, carcinogenic possibility.

Some words are on point.

And as far as the result is concerned, everything is clear.

The person who uses the most proprietary Chinese medicines is not Chinese medicine, but Western medicine.

A real Chinese medicine doctor, or a Western doctor who understands the truth, will clearly tell you that drugs with the same effect do not need to be used in combination. Choose to take the same medicine and don’t take more. It is a three-point poison, regardless of Chinese patent medicine or Western medicine.

Therefore, when selling medicines in pharmacies, do not listen to recommendations, including when doctors prescribe, and be careful.

There are drugs that increase the burden on the kidneys, so do not take them in combination.

The choice of Chinese patent medicine and Western medicine is the same.

Chinese patent medicines are slow to take effect, but the burden and damage are relatively small. Western medicines are quick to take effect, but the burden is heavy, but they are by no means to the extent of causing disease.

But if the two stack up...

People with weak physique will have a probability of "individual cases" such as kidney failure and uremia.
Closer to home.

Herbal medicine is a low-profile version of Chinese medicine. Many herbal doctors do not understand the side effects of herbal medicine, and there is no way to neutralize them.

As Gila said, using anti-inflammatory herbs once saved an amputee patient from high fever. This method is feasible, but the patient's condition must also be considered.

Adults with strong immunity can use this anti-inflammatory herbal medicine, and the side effects of herbal medicine are actually only isolated cases.

There are so many Chinese patent medicines in Huaguo that have side effects, why did they pass the market?Because it is really a very rare case, which is related to the patient's physical condition. We have taken so many medicines since we were young, and we still live well?

Can drug toxicity be stronger than that of gutter oil and triple X milk powder?
As far as Jie Laer's situation is concerned, mild malnutrition, excessive blood loss...

The burden on the patient's body is already great. If the drug is used blindly, it will only cause adverse effects. At this time, the adverse effects are greater than the therapeutic significance.

"Go fetch water, forget about medicine..."

Physical cooling is somewhat effective.

When Ji La came back, Zhou Sheng also took this opportunity to explain the truth about the side effects of herbal medicine to the herbal medicine practitioners.

"Chinese medicine is an advanced version of herbal medicine. Why are we recognized in China, but herbal medicine in Africa is not? Because your research is not deep enough. In fact, as long as you can understand the principles of this aspect, the situation of herbal medicine can be improved. improved, and better outcomes for patients.”

The reasoning is very simple, and Zhou Sheng understood them at once.

In fact, the current medical situation in Africa is very similar to that in China a few decades ago.

Now back in the county, many small clinics have TCM consultations, and they are very well-known in the local area. They not only prescribe Western medicine, but also prescribe traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning.

However, most of the medical practitioners are half-way monks, and they learn from the local former local doctors. When the medical reform is carried out in China and the rapid development, they become a shortcut.

It takes a lot of time and time to train doctors from scratch. Such local doctors have relative medical knowledge and understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, so they can get started faster.

Lao Mo visited various places in the country back then, and he knew the medical situation in Hua country best, and what he wants to do now is the same thing.

Herbal medicine has a foundation. As long as it is trained, it can greatly improve the local medical situation. This is a shortcut. Even if the low-end herbal medicine will cause adverse reactions, it is still the same sentence, the effective meaning is greater than the adverse reactions.

The most down-to-earth herbal doctor may be the most intuitive solution to save the local medical situation.
