Classical Chinese Medicine -- talk to foreigners

Lately, I have a strange thought -- talk about Chinese Medicine to foreigners. Why should I do that? I don't know. Maybe just a sudden whim. Maybe this will be the only post in English of my blog.

Why not talking to the natives? Maybe it is too boring to talk over and over again to the natives. Maybe the natives are too polluted by the western medicine thoughts which are born from so-called science. Though I said "polluted", that's not mean I hate science. What I meant is that the natives are so blind worshiping science. Scientific Method is good, It helps us closer and closer to the truth after hypotheses are getting less and less. But this kind of methods have a serious fault, especially in medical area. That is, we can never cross out all of the hypotheses and finally find out the real truths. We can only find a general statement that under several hypotheses. Why it is so important in medical area? Because human body is an organism, it changes every minutes and every seconds. When we use scientific method to do dome research, we always make some hypotheses and say "All things are equal then ......do research". But that is not the case in the human body. All things are not equal, things change every moment.

So, what are these to do with Chinese Medicine? Because, we Chinese admit that human bodies(I should say everything in the world) are not static. They change every single second. Under this kind of sought, we had have evolved a mature medical treatments for human bodies in about 2000 years ago of Han Dynasty. Oh mine! It is ........so...."old"! Yeah, It is, and believe or not, it is the best medical treatments for human bodies. Even though Chinese Medicine have evolved again and again during the last 2000 years, It is getting worse, not better. The "modern" Chinese Medicine adopted scientific method to do research, but still can not beyond the achievement of  Han Dynasty.

"How arrogant you are to say these things". I don't have to convince you to believe. It's not religious worship. It's just some statements of facts. In the Han Dynasty, there was a medical writings named "Shanghan Lun". The book included some medical theories and most important included a lot of medical treatment and medicines to use for the treatments. It is like a treatment diary of a doctor and nowadays it is a bible of Chinese Medicine. Why I called it "bible"? Because when someone catch disease and his symptoms are match the content in the Shanghan Lun, and you took the medicine that suggested by the book. You will be cured in several hours just like you have never been infected, especially acute virus infection--like catching a cold. It's curative effect is so good as to god limits, so we call it the Bible of Chinese Medicine.

"Do I have to believe these bullshit?" No, you don't. I had experienced recovering form catching a cold in half of a day, and you are still taking Asprine and can not do anything about it. The purpose of the post is to let someone to know that there exists an effective medical treatment method. If you are interested in Chinese Medicine, try to find out it. Although it is very difficult for non-Chinese to understand it, this post gave another way to think about modern medicine. Cheers!

P.S. I'm not very familiar with English. If there's something unclear, please do not blame on me.
