As early as the middle of three years ago, after an authoritative medical journal under the top academic journal "Science" published a paper on the "decisive relationship" between "Aristolochic acid" and the occurrence of liver cancer, the whole world became concerned about "Aristolochic Acid".
Dichochoic acid' has been hotly debated.
When this carcinogen came into the public eye, the public suddenly discovered it after conducting an investigation.
In 2003, the World Health Organization classified this substance as a Class I carcinogen. Since 2004, the Hong Kong Island Health Organization has strictly banned the import of aristolochic acid into Hong Kong and classified it as a prohibited drug.
However, in this context.
Many domestic Chinese patent medicines still contain aristolochic acid...
Therefore, people who have suffered from it are gradually exposed, and they are also used by people with malicious intentions to occupy the moral high ground and criticize traditional Chinese medicine.
But what about reality?
Most of the "orthodox traditional Chinese medicine families", including the Zhou family, are well aware of the harm of aristolochic acid to the human body. Medicinal songs dating back thousands of years have already described the damage of various herbal medicines.
There is a well-known saying that medicine is divided into three parts poison.
But for some special cases, traditional Chinese medicine medicines should be selected 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 part of the foot has the Chinese medicine practitioner found to be painful?
The side effects are not clear yet!
Compared with the standardization of Western medicine, if the side effects are not clear, it will never be allowed to be put on the market, or the dosage of harmful substances will be reduced, side effects will be clearly marked in the instructions, and it will be set as a 'prescription drug', which must be guided by a doctor.
Take medication.
But it is undeniable that many of these traditional Chinese medicines, which are toxic or have unclear side effects, can indeed suppress symptoms.
Say something that would be mistaken for a change of concept.
The side effects of traditional Chinese medicine are still unclear, just like in rheumatism, rheumatoid and other conditions that Western medicine can't deal with, Chinese medicine treatment often has significant curative effect, but for Western medicine, the effective method of this treatment is also unclear.
, they can’t produce results from their research.
You want to change the concept...
So good, Western medicine directly eliminates the use of toxic drugs, but it cannot cure some special diseases. However, Chinese medicine often uses strong drugs to fight poison with poison.
Yes, this approach does have an impact on the human body in some aspects, but it can save the ongoing serious disease and greatly restore the human body's health and quality of life.
In fact, this is the therapeutic significance, which outweighs the adverse effects. The pros and cons are a matter of opinion.
Yes, the mysteries of traditional Chinese medicine are often difficult to explain, because traditional Chinese medicine inherently contains principles such as "metaphysics" and "philosophy".
There is an interesting saying in the Western world...
When the study of materialism reaches its end, many things that cannot be explained can only become idealism.
Many top scientists were considered crazy by the outside world in their later years precisely because they began research on idealism.
So now let’s have 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, I’m just discussing the matter.
Back to business.
Side effects of traditional Chinese medicine are unavoidable, and serious Chinese medicine practitioners will find ways to prevent side effects, either by neutralizing the properties of the medicine, or by using medicine as appropriate according to the patient's condition, or by not using medicine.
Looking back, we can see the cases of “deaths and illnesses caused by proprietary Chinese medicines” that have occurred in recent years.
Are proprietary Chinese medicines containing undesirable ingredients the original sin?
Of course not!
If you think about it carefully, when you have a cold or fever, you will never go to a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, but choose a Western medicine clinic or hospital.
Even in tertiary hospitals, most of the prescriptions prescribed by Western medicine doctors are——
Three X Ganmaoling, cephalosporin, and amoxicillin.
The former is Chinese patent medicine and Western medicine antibiotics.
The latter is Chinese patent medicine.
Many people actually don’t know why Chinese patent medicines are called Chinese patent medicines because they contain Western medicine ingredients.
In addition to aristolochic acid, there is another substance that causes kidney burden called acetaminophen.
Now that we know the ingredients of the drug, we analyze the two prescriptions——
The former, acetaminophen acetaminophen acetaminophen = large doses causing burden on the kidneys (renal failure, uremia).
The latter, acetaminophen and aristolochic acid = kidney burden, carcinogenic potential.
Some words stop short of the point.
As for the results, everything is clear.
The people who use most proprietary Chinese medicines are not traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, but Western medicine practitioners.
Real Chinese medicine, or Western medicine that 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 do not take more. Medicine is three parts poison, whether it is Chinese patent medicine or Western medicine.
Therefore, when selling medicines on your own in pharmacies, never listen to recommendations, including when doctors prescribe medicines, and be cautious.
If there are drugs that increase the burden on the kidneys, do not take them in combination.
Just choose the same Chinese patent medicines and Western medicines.
Chinese patent medicines are slow to take effect, but the burden and harm are relatively small. Western medicines are fast to take effect, but the burden is high, but they are never to the extent of causing disease.
But if the two are superimposed...
People who are not physically strong may have a chance of developing "individual cases" such as kidney failure and uremia.
Back to business.
Herbalists are a low-end version of traditional Chinese medicine. Many herbalists do not understand the side effects of herbal medicines and have no way to neutralize them.
As Gila said, the use of anti-inflammatory herbs once saved an amputation patient from a 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 the herbal medicine are actually only isolated cases.
Why are so many Chinese patent medicines in China approved for marketing because they have side effects? Because it is really a very rare case, related to the patient's physical condition. We have taken so many medicines since we were young, but are we still living well?
Can drugs be more toxic than gutter oil and triple X milk powder?
As for Zieral's situation, she suffered from mild malnutrition and excessive blood loss...
The patient's physical burden is already very heavy. If he continues to blindly take medication, it will only cause adverse effects. At this time, the adverse effects will outweigh the therapeutic significance.
"Go get some water and forget about taking medicine..."
Physical cooling has some effects.
When Ji La came back, Zhou Sheng also took this opportunity to explain the truth about the side effects of herbal medicines to the herbal medicine students.
"TCM 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 this aspect, the situation of herbal medicine can be improved
will be improved, and the treatment effect for patients will be better."
The truth is very simple, and Zhou Yisheng can understand it at once.
In fact, the current medical situation in Africa is very similar to that in China decades ago.
Now back in the county, many small clinics provide consultations with traditional Chinese medicine, and they are very famous in the local area. They not only prescribe western medicine, but also prescribe traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning.
However, most of the doctors became monks halfway and studied under former local doctors. When the country was undergoing medical reform and rapid development, they became a shortcut.
Training doctors from scratch is expensive and takes a long time. Such local doctors, who have relative medical knowledge and understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, can get started faster.
When Lao Mo visited various places in China, he had the best understanding of the medical situation in China, and now he wants to do the same thing.
Herbal medicine has a solid 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 can cause adverse reactions, as the saying goes, the effectiveness outweighs the adverse reactions.
The most down-to-earth herbal medicine may be the most intuitive solution to save the local medical situation.
