In recent years, the medical profession has focused on preventive medicine, hoping to prevent the occurrence of diseases through cutting-edge health screening equipment or preventive medication. In fact, for Chinese medicine doctors, preventive medical science is originally the specialty of traditional Chinese medicine, through pulse diagnosis and observation of physical signs, to adjust the patient’s physique and reduce the occurrence of diseases.
“Chinese medicine and Western medicine are very different! Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee, a Chinese medicine doctor, pointed out that many people think that Chinese medicine seems to be very generalized and not very differentiated, and that doctors can see and treat whatever diseases they encounter. The subtlety of Chinese medicine lies in the adjustment of the five movements and six Qi of the human body, and can even predict diseases. By connecting the 12 meridian currents to the ends of the limbs, we can see the condition of the five internal organs and understand that some organs in the body are not in harmony with each other.
Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee used the relationship between lakes and rivers to explain how Chinese medicine can be a pioneer in preventive medical science. He said that if the volume of water in a lake is too low, it means that the surrounding rivers may have dried up. Similarly, if the internal organs are low in energy, there will be signs on the outside. When the kidneys, liver, heart and other organs have problems, through Western medicine, you can get immediate treatment, or even must operate to save lives. However, if we can replenish the energy of Qi and blood when we find that the energy at the end is insufficient, we can achieve the purpose of prevention.
For example, some people are prone to skin allergies and chronic tinnitus, which means that the internal organs are not energetic enough, even though they are not yet sick, but the organs are already showing signs of failure, gradually weakening and losing energy. In the case of bone spurs, bone spurs tend to grow when the bones degenerate, and the periosteum, ligaments and surrounding muscles lose their elasticity and cannot effectively support the bones. Through Chinese medicine, the patient’s pain can be relieved by maintaining sufficient Qi to keep the relevant tissues from sticking. If the Qi in the joint is increased, the patient will be able to tolerate the pain better.
“To protect oneself, the first requirement is to pay attention to vital Qi! Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee emphasized that Chinese medicine is nature-based and emphasizes the vital Qi of the body. The purpose of preventive medical treatment can be achieved through Chinese medicine consultation. For example, by increasing the Qi of the joints, we can avoid the fate of having to undergo joint replacement surgery at a young age.
In a way, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee believes that Western medicine is helpful in evaluating the effectiveness of Chinese medicine treatment, for example, through blood tests, it is possible to understand the changes in a patient’s liver index before and after receiving Chinese medicine treatment. He has treated many patients with liver disease and used the data from Western medicine tests to evaluate the effectiveness of Chinese medicine treatment.
But for the domestic health units ignore the situation of Chinese medicine, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee feel quite helpless, he said, according to the current laws and regulations, if the Chinese medicine doctor developed a post Chinese medicine recipe, must be open to the public ingredients, or else not allowed to manufacture and sell, this for the Chinese medicine profession, no intellectual property rights to speak of. The health authorities should set up a special body to protect the intellectual property rights of Chinese medicine doctors as long as the recipe is scientifically proven to be non-toxic and effective, so that more Chinese medicine doctors can devote themselves to the research and development of new medicines.
