Traditional Chinese Medicine And the West Posted: 05-26-05 02:16am
Western medicine can cure my ailments
western medicine is generally the use of
synthetically manufactured single
compounds that are administered to the
body in highly concentrated doses.These
drugs can obviously be highly effective
and cure many diseases.Interestingly, many
conventional synthetic compounds are
derived from plant materials.Aspirin and
cisplatin (one of the world’s leading
anti cancer drugs) are both derived from
trees.
Chinese herbal medicine uses lower dosages
of more dilute herbal extracts to help the
body retain or maintain its balance in a
step-by-step fashion. Perhaps the
philosophy of chinese medicine is best
expressed by the writings of one
7th-century physician:superior treatment
consists of dealing with an illness before
it appears.Mediocre treatment consists of
curing an illness on the point of
revealing itself.Inferior treatment
consists of curing the illness once it has
manifested itself.

Chinese Medicine For Aids Posted: 05-29-05 21:57pm
Aids (acquired immune deficiency) is a
generally fatal disease caused by the
human immunodeficiency virus (hiv).
Aids patients suffer from flu-like illness
characterized by fever, tiredness, swollen
lymph nodes and muscle aches. Symptoms
of aids might be experienced only after
many years’infection. Both clearing
toxins and enhancing immunity are
incorporated in the traditional chinese
medicine treatment.
Conventional medicine treats sexually
transmitted diseases by identifying the
pathogens of the disease and attacking
them with antibiotics and other drugs.
Traditional chinese medicine treats
sexually transmitted diseases (and all
disease) by differentiating patterns of
disease and then treating the specific
pattern. Symptoms presented by the
patient are analyzed and then classified
into an overall pattern of disease or
imbalance. Acupuncture and chinese
herbal medicine are then used to treat the
problem. Chinese medicine therapies
were well-established before microscopes
permitted researchers to see bacteria and
virus, but many of the traditional herbal
formulas have anti-bacterial or anti-viral
properties, and are highly effective
against what modern science calls
infection, and what classical chinese
texts call heat toxins. Other
traditional herbal formulas tonify various
fundamental substances of the body (such
as qi, blood, yin and yang), and seem to
have a positive effect on what modern
science identifies as the immune system.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Came to the West Posted: 06-09-05 00:56am
There has been a record of significant
interaction between eastern and western
medical systems for several hundred
years.References to acupuncture and pulse
diagnosis occurred in the writings of
dutch physicians in the 17th century.
Much of what is now known as swedish
massage originated from china and there
has been a long history of exchange in
herbal products with cinnamon bark being
exported from china to ancient rome and
herbs such as american ginseng being
incorporated into the chinese tradition in
the nineteenth century.

Western medicines dont cure ailments, they
merely cover them up by treating the
symptoms.
