自古以来上至帝王下至平民百姓,人人都在追求长寿的方法,但是似乎都不尽人愿,其实真正的长寿秘密其实就在我们身边,我们不知道而已,一直被西医误导到错误的方向。 2001年8月26日美国新闻报导,有一百岁人瑞女性,身体非常健康,而且其兄弟姊妹也一样长寿,记者问她为何如此健康 ?她的答案非常有趣,摘录如下: 1。她每天抽一包烟, 80年来未间断过。 2。她从不听她的医生建议,想吃什么就吃什么,从不按时睡觉,想睡就睡,一日也不喝八大杯水。 3。从不吃西药,拒绝任何西药合成的营养剂。 4。最喜欢与家人一起跳舞唱歌,每天开开心心,从不去羡慕妒嫉别人,从不与人计较。 5。每天走路是最喜欢的运动,从不去健身中心。 6。从未去健康检查,因为不相信医生说的。西医为了自圆其说,解释为其人有长寿基因而造成的,企图转移目标注意力,并且提高自己的身价,实在是不要脸,此人瑞已经说明的很清楚了,她为何长寿,但西医却听而不见,可见其心虚如此,而事实证明她活得比世上所有西医的寿命都长而且更快乐。我们每个人都有长寿的基因,老天爷绝对是公平的,但是很多人因为滥用西药及过量服用营养药物,故而破坏此一系统,造成人类短命,西医隐瞒此一事实,永远不承认是自他们造成的,反而想去发现人类基因密码,口口声声用发现二字,实际上亿万年前此基因已经存在,并非他们发现的,此基因控制着生态的平衡,任何人要去改变它,必然给人类带来无可弥补的灾难。能够了解我的说明的人必然占少数,毕竟世界上智能的人较少,愚昧无知的人占多数。
正统中医学与现代中医学的差异
正统中医学是依据黄帝内经为生理学,诊断学,病理学的主要标准。神农本草经为药物使用标准,难经为针灸使用标准,处方标准是以汉朝名医张仲景的伤寒论及金匮中的处方为主。过去人们称为"伤寒家"或"经方家"此类为正统中国绝学,时常令病人一剂知二剂已,然而现今为数极少,众医皆曰经方过峻,而不敢使用,殊不知熟读以上医书,使用经方何难之有。目前台湾以及大陆的中医包含卫生署在内,中药药理方面都是以本草纲目为标准,方剂学是以汤头歌诀为主,处方依据是以温病条辨为主要依据,大家都知道黄帝内经,神农本草经,难经,伤寒论,金匮为中医的经典之作,但是都流于嘴上说说而已,实际上很少人懂得如何真正的使用它。大家并不知道著作温病条辨的叶天士与写本草纲目的李时珍,实际上就是把中医误导入万劫不复之地的祸首败类,故自宋,元,明,清以来,中医一直被误解,以为要慢慢的治,中药无效等,加上很多中医偶然一方有效,就以为万病皆可,不知自己研究方向被误导,一昧的开温病方给病人,从不进修经方,导致病人对中医药无信心,破坏中医的名声。许多中医一生研究温病,认为南方无伤寒,这又是一大误导有志学习中医的人士,数百年来的错误观念引导加上许多愚昧的中医师添油加醋,以至于今日中医不见容于多数人的心中,中医的绝学因此而逐渐失传,至为可惜。本医学中心的创立,即有鉴于此,将以发扬"经方"为主,吾人及吾之学生必将顷一生之力,发扬正统中医为执志,期弘扬正统中医学于世界,光大中国绝学,让世人皆以中国人为荣。如吾人再不醒悟,下一代的年轻学子,要学习正统中医,就必须要到美国来学了。

科学证据
每当有人说中医没有科学证据时,我实在替他可怜,俗话说:"你不开口,没人知道你没读过书",说这话的人实在是连基本常识都没有,因为他连"科学"与"科技"完全不一样都不知道。科学是无形的,世上所有的科学家心中只有一个公式,就是"假设"然后"验证"再看"结果",例如:发现电的美国科学家富兰柯林,他就先"假设"有"电"存在,然后去"验证",在验证时他使用风筝在雷电交加的风雨中放风筝,他的邻居嘲笑他是疯子,'结果"他发现电以后,人们又说他是十九世纪最伟大的发明家,可见绝大多数的人是愚昧的,真正科学家只占少数。全世界距离美国太空中心最近的中医诊所就是我开设的,我有许多病人是在太空中心工作的工程师,他们一进入我的药房,立刻直嚷着"这才是科学",他们所学所用的是科技并非科学,其观念如此清析,乃拜教育之赐,因此美国的教育是高人一等,启发性的教育能造就出科学家。中国人这一点就差了许多,观念的不正确会误导研究学习的方向,故此优秀的科学家千篇一律的必须到美国留学,越来越多美国人相信中医,就是因为他们的观念正确,他们知道中医才是真正的科学,西医是科技绝非科学。因此愚昧的人错把科技当科学,不但不知道自己的无知,还声音很大的说中医无科学证据,其可悲如此可怜如此,吾时常对人说:"没有疾病足以致人于死,只有笨死的与被吓死的"。我厘清科技与科学的不同,希望大家能了解,不要再次犯同样的错误。我最恨许多中国人不懂中医也就罢了,还要排斥中医,真正对中医造成阻力的是中国人,不懂中医理论的许多中国人,对中医误解的许多中国人,却一直在台面上对中医一再的攻击,当你问他对中医是否有研究时,他又完全没有。迷信的定义是"迷失在自己的自信中",许多人对西医学说并非完全了解,但却一昧的相信西医,这就是迷信,真正对西医了解的人,却昧着良心不告诉病人西药无效,也不给病人机会尝试其它的疗法,宁可让病人坐以待毙,也不说实话。
西医是科技而中医才是科学,西医持的是科技证明,中医持的是科学证据,二者完全不同,科技须要日新月异,而科学是永恒不变的定律。五千年来中医的理论早已是定律,不须要去改变。只要遵从它即可发展出新的病理学,诊断学,生理学了。我用中医二三千年前的古方,治好了许多不治之症,这表示人类的身体从未变过,而方子都不用改变,这就是真理,就是科学,它是恒久不变的。中医与西医中医与西医的不同是在于形与神,西医是属于形,中医是属于神,形与神不同点,形是一个可以看得到摸得到的物体,而神是看不到摸不到但却实际存在的物质,因此一般外科治疗车祸外伤骨折损伤以西医较优,因为伤科不是疾病,属于形,病人的自愈能力很强,因此只要处置得宜都会好的。但人们却惑于此,以为西医可以治好病,完全不知伤与病是完全不同的。也因此一旦有病就找西医看,长期服了许多西药,不但未好反而造成更多的后遗症,由于本身的病再加上药物的副作用,使得病情变得更棘手。这时由于病痛很难过无法忍受,才来看中医,看了中医以后又希望隔夜病就好了,如果没好就极尽所有可能的漫骂中医,殊不知任何的疾病如果一开始就找对中医的话,很快就会好的,没有任何疾病西药是可以治好的,所有的西药都是控制的,都需要服用一辈子的。但是你必须知道原来你的一辈子是一百年,长期服用西药以后,只剩六十年或七十年,运气好的或许有八十年。更有甚者很多病人死亡时,根本是死在手术台上或化学疗法或放射线治疗,与病情无关。西医却说是死在疾病上,愚蠢的人在死时仍然不知是西医造成的,还一再的感谢西医,此类人是到死时都是笨蛋,何其悲乎。任何一种病如果一开始时是中医在治的,假以时日都会有效的,当然如果遇到好的医师必然恢复更快,无论如何服用中药都比西药来得好,尤其在内科病上,中药的效果尤其惊人,西药的副作用远比疾病来得更严重,会让病人死得更快。结论是一般伤害如车祸,刀枪伤,骨折,等,你可以去看西医,如果有内科疾病,应该去看中医。
好中医的能力
中医师的素质良莠不齐是众所周知的,真正好的中医师他治病的范围非常广泛,从感冒到癌症都有一定的研究,因为疾病是习习相关的,如果只是专门一科例如痔疮,疣,鼻炎等是可以的,其它的疾病都与感冒有关,也就是说一位中医师如果连感冒都治不好,就绝对不可能治好癌症,西医就是连感冒都治不好的医术所以绝对治不好癌症。百病风之始,中医认为所有疾病皆与感冒有关,如果所有的医师能在病人得到感冒时就治好,那这世界上就根本无人会得到癌症,详容后述。任何的中医师如果不懂得伤寒论及金匮二书,是绝对治不好感冒的,大多数的中医师都是依照温病条辨来开处方,效果太慢汤药又苦。而西医使用抗生素不但无效更且加重伤害人体,任何免疫系统不全的病即起因于此。一位连感冒都治不好的医生,一定治不好癌症的,这是必然的道理。最可怕的是有许多中医都读过伤寒与金匮,但却不开经方,这是要不得的,所开的处方完全与伤寒金匮无关,此时不但于病无助,更且误导病人认为中药无效,此类中医师会让世人误解以为中医不过如此。我们在治疗任何一种疾病的时候,每当进入痊愈阶段时,病人都会出现感冒症状,这是最重要的阶段,如果不懂得使用经方,时机一失,癌症又会回来,只有经方能一剂知二剂已,最后一步的治疗,往往是最后胜败的关键所在,因此一位不懂得使用经方的中医,是不可能治好病的。所以一位优秀的中医,其治疗的范围必定涵盖很广,几乎无所不包,所有的内科疾病都应该能治好,只是目前大多数的病人在看中医之前,都先看西医服用西药很久之后,很厌倦了,或经人劝导后再来看中医。待病人到我们手上时,体内除了本身病变之外,加上西药的副作用,病人完全不知西药的副作用往往比原有的疾病更严重,同时病人又抱持半信半疑的态度,有时连自己的症状都陈述不清楚,又一眛的要求要隔夜病就好了,如果没好就怪中医不行。西药都是吃一辈子的,许多病人从不后悔,但是吃中药却没有恒心,吃吃停停时常间断,如此病怎么会好呢 ?中药怎么会有用呢,这都是对中医的认识不清,对西医学的了解又不够才造成的,病人要怪自己的无知才对,但是绝大多数的人都去怪中医。这是中医没落的原因之一。我多年的经验以及对中国人的了解,我奉劝优秀的中医师们,不要替不信中医的人看病,因为只有两种人不信中医, 1。本身毫无学识,对中医完全不了解,却又否定中医。 2。本身是西医师,心里明知西药无效却昧着良心,告诉病人中医是迷信不科学,以上二种人不值得我们去救助。以后相信中医的人必会越来越多,因为不信中医的人会因服西药而死得很快,人数就会日渐减少,相信中医的人会存活下来。
经方与温病北派经方家与南方温病派对医学的研究角度是完全不相同的,从内经到本草的解读都不一样,如何区别二者呢 ?
很简单,处方中从不见麻黄桂枝石膏附子等药物,且视之如蛇蝎,不但自己绝不使用,还告诉病人不可使用,怪其做用过大,属于峻药,会有许多副作用。说这话的温病派中医占大多数,他们从不去深研内经及神农本草经,对伤寒论及金匮是完全不了解所造成的,因为如果很了解而且能正确的使用麻黄桂枝石膏附子等药物,治病必然得心应手,且效果弘大迅速,如果使用温病条辨中叶天士的处方,不但无效且拖延时日,病情变化很快,反而使得后医更棘手使用的药物增多,经方家强调药简力专,而温病派医师常见一付处方中有少则四,五十味药多则八,九十味药,属于乱枪打鸟型,例如治咳嗽药,他们把所有本草纲目中凡对咳嗽有效的药都放在一付药中,殊不知所有中药都必须依据表里寒热来开处方,而不是乱七八糟加在一起,这就是经方家与温病家不一样的地方,由于内经诊断法与经方家的神髓早已失传,书中流存下来的只有形式,因此我花了许多时间由临床实际经验中体会出,内经诊断法与经方的使用,效果弘大,完全舍弃温病家提出的南方无伤寒的说法,同时也证明了叶天士犯的错误观念。由于中医学术被南方温病派误导入歧途,导致积重难返,被无知的中国人抱着怀疑的态度任意丢弃,我们如果再不发扬北派经方家学术,终有一日中医会完全没落,有幸的是美国人非常能够接受外来文化的洗礼,使我有机会来完成传统中医的发扬,成者为王,败者为寇,我一定会让世人知道中国五千年的文化,绝对有其独到之处,尤其中医理论早就已经定谳,无须再增减,吾人只要加以研究即可。我个人是恨死了这位人称:天医星的叶天士,由于此人是清朝明医,又利用他的名声自创了温病派,写了温病条辨一书,从此误导了中国人研习中医的领域,许多台湾与大陆的中医师他们的素质非常高,并且才德兼具,但是中医的观念被此人误导,因此妨害到中医药的发展,中国历代都是以经方为主,直到明清之后才出现温病派,我们应该回到过去大家来研究经方,相信集合众人智能之力,必然能让中医弘扬于世界的。
中医是预防医学
自古以来,上至帝王,下至平民百姓,人人都在追求长寿的方法,但结果似乎都不尽如人意。其实,真正的长寿秘密就在我们身边,只是我们不知道而已,并且一直被西医误导到了错误的方向。
2001年8月26日,美国新闻报道了一位百岁人瑞女性,她身体非常健康,而且她的兄弟姐妹也同样长寿。记者问她为何如此健康?她的回答非常有趣,摘录如下:
1. 她每天抽一包烟,80年来从未间断过。
2. 她从不听从医生的建议,想吃什么就吃什么,从不按时睡觉,想睡就睡,一天也不喝八大杯水。
3. 她从不吃西药,拒绝任何西药合成的营养剂。
4. 她最喜欢与家人一起跳舞唱歌,每天开开心心,从不羡慕嫉妒别人,从不与人计较。
5. 每天走路是她最喜欢的运动,从不去健身中心。
6. 她从未做过健康体检,因为她不相信医生说的话。
西医为了自圆其说,解释说是因为此人拥有长寿基因所致,企图转移公众的注意力,并抬高自己的身价,这真是厚颜无耻。这位百岁老人已经说明得很清楚了,她之所以长寿的原因,但西医却充耳不闻,可见其内心虚弱。事实证明,她活得比世上所有西医都要长,而且更快乐。我们每个人都有长寿的基因,老天爷绝对是公平的。但是,很多人因为滥用西药及过量服用营养药物,从而破坏了这一系统,导致人类短命。西医隐瞒了这一事实,永远不承认这是他们造成的,反而想去发现人类的基因密码,口口声声说是“发现”,实际上亿万年前此基因就已经存在,并非他们发现的。此基因控制着生态的平衡,任何人要去改变它,必然给人类带来无可弥补的灾难。能够理解我说明的人必然占少数,毕竟世界上聪明的人较少,愚昧无知的人占多数。
正统中医学与现代中医学的差异
正统中医学是以《黄帝内经》为生理学、诊断学、病理学的主要标准;以《神农本草经》为药物使用标准;以《难经》为针灸使用标准;处方标准则以汉朝名医张仲景的《伤寒论》及《金匮要略》中的处方为主。过去人们称此类医家为“伤寒家”或“经方家”,此类为正统中国绝学,时常令病人“一剂知,二剂已”(服一剂药病情就有好转,服两剂药病就好了)。然而现今此类医家为数极少,众医皆曰经方药力过于峻猛,而不敢使用,殊不知熟读以上医书,使用经方有何困难。目前台湾以及大陆的中医,包含卫生署在内,中药药理方面都是以《本草纲目》为标准,方剂学是以《汤头歌诀》为主,处方依据是以《温病条辨》为主要依据。大家都知道《黄帝内经》、《神农本草经》、《难经》、《伤寒论》、《金匮要略》为中医的经典之作,但是都流于嘴上说说而已,实际上很少人懂得如何真正地使用它。大家并不知道著作《温病条辨》的叶天士与写《本草纲目》的李时珍,实际上就是把中医误导入万劫不复之地的祸首败类。故自宋、元、明、清以来,中医一直被误解,以为要慢慢地治,中药无效等,加上很多中医偶然一方有效,就以为万病皆可,不知自己研究方向被误导,一味地开温病方给病人,从不进修经方,导致病人对中医药无信心,破坏中医的名声。许多中医一生研究温病,认为南方无伤寒,这又是一大误导有志学习中医的人士。数百年来的错误观念引导,加上许多愚昧的中医师添油加醋,以至于今日中医不见容于多数人的心中,中医的绝学因此而逐渐失传,至为可惜。本医学中心的创立,即有鉴于此,将以发扬“经方”为主,吾人及吾之学生必将倾一生之力,发扬正统中医为执志,期弘扬正统中医学于世界,光大中国绝学,让世人皆以中国人为荣。如吾人再不醒悟,下一代的年轻学子,要学习正统中医,就必须要到美国来学了。

经方与温病
北派经方家与南方温病派对医学的研究角度是完全不相同的,从《内经》到《本草》的解读都不一样,如何区别二者呢?很简单,处方中从不见麻黄、桂枝、石膏、附子等药物,且视之如蛇蝎,不但自己绝不使用,还告诉病人不可使用,怪其作用过大,属于峻药,会有许多副作用。说这话的温病派中医占大多数,他们从不去深研《内经》及《神农本草经》,对《伤寒论》及《金匮要略》是完全不了解所造成的。因为如果很了解而且能正确的使用麻黄、桂枝、石膏、附子等药物,治病必然得心应手,且效果弘大迅速。如果使用《温病条辨》中叶天士的处方,不但无效且拖延时日,病情变化很快,反而使得后医更棘手,使用的药物增多。经方家强调药简力专,而温病派医师常见一付处方中有少则四、五十味药,多则八、九十味药,属于乱枪打鸟型。例如治咳嗽药,他们把所有《本草纲目》中凡对咳嗽有效的药都放在一付药中,殊不知所有中药都必须依据表里寒热来开处方,而不是乱七八糟加在一起,这就是经方家与温病家不一样的地方。由于《内经》诊断法与经方家的神髓早已失传,书中流存下来的只有形式,因此我花了许多时间由临床实际经验中体会出,《内经》诊断法与经方的使用,效果弘大。完全舍弃温病家提出的“南方无伤寒”的说法,同时也证明了叶天士犯的错误观念。由于中医学术被南方温病派误导入歧途,导致积重难返,被无知的中国人抱着怀疑的态度任意丢弃。我们如果再不发扬北派经方家学术,终有一日中医会完全没落。有幸的是美国人非常能够接受外来文化的洗礼,使我有机会来完成传统中医的发扬。成者为王,败者为寇,我一定会让世人知道中国五千年的文化,绝对有其独到之处,尤其中医理论早就已经定谳,无须再增减,吾人只要加以研究即可。我个人是恨死了这位人称“天医星”的叶天士,由于此人是清朝名医,又利用他的名声自创了温病派,写了《温病条辨》一书,从此误导了中国人研习中医的领域。许多台湾与大陆的中医师他们的素质非常高,并且才德兼具,但是中医的观念被此人误导,因此妨害到中医药的发展。中国历代都是以经方为主,直到明清之后才出现温病派,我们应该回到过去大家来研究经方,相信集合众人智能之力,必然能让中医弘扬于世界的。
中医是预防医学
Since ancient times, from emperors to commoners, everyone has pursued methods for longevity, yet the results seem unsatisfactory. In fact, the true secret of longevity lies right beside us; we are simply unaware of it and have been misled by Western medicine in the wrong direction.
On August 26, 2001, American news reported on a centenarian woman who was in excellent health, and her siblings were also long-lived. When asked why she was so healthy, her answer was very interesting, excerpted as follows:
1. She smoked one pack of cigarettes every day without interruption for 80 years.
2. She never listened to her doctor's advice; she ate whatever she wanted, did not sleep at regular hours but slept whenever she felt like it, and never drank eight large glasses of water a day.
3. She never took Western medicine and refused any synthetic nutritional supplements from Western pharmaceuticals.
4. She loved dancing and singing with her family, was happy every day, never envied or jealous of others, and never quarreled with anyone.
5. Walking every day was her favorite exercise, and she never went to fitness centers.
6. She never underwent health check-ups because she did not believe what doctors said.
To justify themselves, Western medicine explained that this was due to longevity genes possessed by the individual, attempting to divert attention and inflate their own status, which is truly shameless. The centenarian had already explained clearly why she lived long, but Western medicine turned a deaf ear, revealing its inner insecurity. Facts prove that she lived longer and happier than all Western doctors in the world. Everyone possesses longevity genes; Heaven is absolutely fair. However, many people abuse Western medicines and take excessive nutritional drugs, thereby destroying this system and causing premature death in humans. Western medicine conceals this fact and refuses to admit it is their fault, instead claiming to "discover" human genetic codes. They claim discovery, but these genes existed hundreds of millions of years ago; they did not discover them. These genes control ecological balance; anyone attempting to alter them will inevitably bring irreparable disasters to humanity. Those who can understand my explanation must be in the minority, after all, intelligent people are few, while ignorant people are numerous.
Differences between Orthodox Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Modern TCM
Orthodox TCM takes the *Huangdi Neijing* (Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon) as the main standard for physiology, diagnostics, and pathology; the *Shennong Bencao Jing* (Divine Farmer's Materia Medica) as the standard for drug usage; the *Nanjing* (Classic of Difficult Issues) as the standard for acupuncture usage; and prescription standards are primarily based on prescriptions from Zhang Zhongjing, a famous physician of the Han Dynasty, specifically the *Shanghan Lun* (Treatise on Cold Damage) and *Jinkui Yaolue* (Essential Prescriptions of the Golden Cabinet). In the past, such practitioners were called "Shanghan specialists" or "Jingfang specialists." This represents orthodox Chinese unique learning, often resulting in patients experiencing improvement after one dose ("Yi ji zhi") and recovery after two doses ("Er ji yi"). However, there are very few such practitioners today. Most physicians claim that Jingfang formulas are too harsh and dare not use them. Little do they know that having thoroughly studied the aforementioned medical texts, using Jingfang poses no difficulty. Currently, in Taiwan and mainland China, including the Health Department, pharmacology of Chinese herbs is standardized by the *Bencao Gangmu* (Compendium of Materia Medica), formula studies focus on *Tangtou Gejue* (Song of Decoctions), and prescription bases rely mainly on the *Wenbing Tiaobian* (Systematic Differentiation of Warm Diseases). Everyone knows that the *Huangdi Neijing*, *Shennong Bencao Jing*, *Nanjing*, *Shanghan Lun*, and *Jinkui Yaolue* are classic works of TCM, yet they remain merely words spoken in passing; in reality, few know how to truly utilize them. People do not realize that Ye Tianshi, author of the *Wenbing Tiaobian*, and Li Shizhen, author of the *Bencao Gangmu*, are actually the culprits who led TCM into an irreversible predicament. Thus, since the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, TCM has been misunderstood as requiring slow treatment and being ineffective. Coupled with many TCM physicians who, upon finding occasional efficacy with a single formula, assumed it could cure all diseases, their research direction was misled. They blindly prescribed Wenbing formulas to patients without studying Jingfang, leading to a loss of patient confidence in TCM and damaging its reputation. Many TCM physicians spent their lives studying Wenbing, believing there is no Shanghan in the South, another major misleading factor for those aspiring to learn TCM. Centuries of erroneous concepts, compounded by ignorant TCM physicians adding fuel to the fire, have resulted in TCM being rejected by the majority today. The unique essence of TCM is gradually being lost, which is most regrettable. The establishment of this medical center aims to address this by promoting "Jingfang." My students and I will dedicate our lives to upholding orthodox TCM, hoping to spread it worldwide and glorify Chinese unique learning, so that the world takes pride in being Chinese. If we do not awaken soon, the younger generation will have to come to the United States to learn orthodox TCM.

Scientific Evidence
Whenever someone claims TCM lacks scientific evidence, I feel sorry for them. As the saying goes, "If you don't speak, no one knows you are uneducated." Such people lack basic common sense, failing to distinguish between "science" and "technology." Science is intangible. All scientists in the world follow one formula: "Hypothesis," then "Verification," followed by "Result." For example, the American scientist Franklin, who discovered electricity, first hypothesized the existence of electricity, then verified it by flying a kite in a thunderstorm. His neighbors mocked him as crazy. After he discovered electricity, people hailed him as the greatest inventor of the 19th century. This shows that the vast majority are ignorant, while true scientists are few. The TCM clinic closest to the US Space Center globally is the one I opened. Many of my patients are engineers working at the Space Center. Upon entering my pharmacy, they immediately exclaim, "This is science." What they learned and use is technology, not science. Their clear concept is due to education; thus, American education is superior, as heuristic education produces scientists. Chinese people lag behind in this regard; incorrect concepts mislead research directions. Hence, outstanding scientists invariably study abroad in the US. More Americans believe in TCM because their concepts are correct; they know TCM is true science, whereas Western medicine is technology, not science. Therefore, ignorant people mistake technology for science. Not only are they unaware of their ignorance, but they loudly claim TCM lacks scientific evidence, which is pitiful and pathetic. I often tell people, "No disease is sufficient to cause death; people die from stupidity or fear." I clarify the difference between technology and science, hoping everyone understands and avoids repeating the same mistakes. I detest many Chinese people who not only fail to understand TCM but also reject it. The real resistance to TCM comes from Chinese people themselves—those who do not understand TCM theory and those who misunderstand it—who constantly attack TCM publicly. When asked if they have studied TCM, they have not. The definition of superstition is "losing oneself in one's own confidence." Many people do not fully understand Western medical theories yet blindly trust Western medicine; this is superstition. Those who truly understand Western medicine, however, conceal the ineffectiveness of Western drugs from patients out of conscience, denying them the chance to try other therapies, preferring to let patients wait passively for death rather than telling the truth.
Western medicine is technology, while TCM is science. Western medicine relies on technological proof, while TCM relies on scientific evidence; the two are completely different. Technology requires constant innovation, while science consists of eternal laws. TCM theory has been a law for five thousand years and does not need to be changed. By following it, new pathologies, diagnostics, and physiologies can be developed. I have cured many incurable diseases using ancient TCM formulas from two or three thousand years ago. This indicates that the human body has not changed, nor do the formulas need changing. This is truth, this is science; it is immutable.
The difference between TCM and Western medicine lies in Form (Xing) and Spirit (Shen). Western medicine belongs to Form, while TCM belongs to Spirit. The difference is that Form is a visible and tangible object, whereas Spirit is invisible and intangible but materially existent. Therefore, Western medicine is superior for treating external injuries such as car accidents, trauma, fractures, and damage, because injury management is not disease per se but relates to Form, where the patient's self-healing ability is strong, so proper handling leads to recovery. However, people are confused by this, thinking Western medicine cures diseases, completely unaware that injury and disease are entirely different. Consequently, when ill, people seek Western medicine, taking Western drugs for long periods. Instead of getting better, they suffer more sequelae. Due to the original illness combined with drug side effects, the condition becomes more difficult. Only when the pain becomes unbearable do they visit a TCM physician. After seeing a TCM doctor, they hope for overnight recovery; if not, they curse TCM mercilessly. Little do they know that if the correct TCM physician is consulted from the beginning, the disease will heal quickly. No disease can be cured by Western drugs; all Western drugs are merely controlling agents requiring lifelong consumption. But you must know your lifespan is originally one hundred years. Long-term Western drug use reduces it to sixty or seventy years, perhaps eighty with good luck. Moreover, many patients die on operating tables, during chemotherapy, or radiation therapy, unrelated to their original condition. Western medicine claims they died of the disease. Stupid people still do not realize Western medicine caused their death even at the end, thanking Western medicine repeatedly. Such people are fools until death, how tragic. Any disease treated by TCM from the start will eventually be effective; encountering a good physician accelerates recovery. Regardless, taking Chinese herbs is better than Western drugs, especially for internal diseases where herbal effects are astonishing. Western drug side effects are far more severe than the diseases themselves, causing faster death. Conclusion: for general injuries like car accidents, knife/gun wounds, fractures, etc., you may see a Western doctor; for internal diseases, you should see a TCM doctor.
Capability of Good TCM Physicians
It is well known that the quality of TCM physicians varies greatly. A truly good TCM physician has a broad scope of practice, researching everything from colds to cancer, because diseases are closely related. Specializing in one area, such as hemorrhoids, warts, or rhinitis, is acceptable, but other diseases are related to colds. That is to say, if a TCM physician cannot cure a cold, they absolutely cannot cure cancer. Western medicine cannot even cure colds, so it absolutely cannot cure cancer. "All diseases begin with wind"; TCM believes all diseases are related to colds. If all physicians could cure patients when they catch a cold, no one in the world would get cancer, details to follow. Any TCM physician who does not understand the *Shanghan Lun* and *Jinkui Yaolue* absolutely cannot cure colds. Most TCM physicians prescribe according to the *Wenbing Tiaobian*, which is too slow and bitter. Western use of antibiotics is not only ineffective but further harms the human body; any deficiency in the immune system originates here. A doctor who cannot cure a cold certainly cannot cure cancer; this is inevitable logic. Most frighteningly, many TCM physicians have read the *Shanghan* and *Jinkui* but do not prescribe Jingfang, which is unacceptable. Their prescriptions are completely unrelated to the *Shanghan* and *Jinkui*. At this point, they not only fail to help the disease but also mislead patients into thinking Chinese herbs are ineffective. Such physicians cause the world to misunderstand TCM as mediocre. When treating any disease, patients often exhibit cold symptoms during the recovery stage, which is the most critical phase. If one does not know how to use Jingfang, missing this opportunity allows cancer to return. Only Jingfang achieves "improvement in one dose, recovery in two." The final step of treatment is often the key to victory or defeat. Therefore, a TCM physician who does not know how to use Jingfang cannot cure diseases. Thus, an excellent TCM physician covers a wide range of treatments, almost encompassing everything, and should be able to cure all internal diseases. However, most patients currently see a Western doctor first, take Western drugs for a long time, become weary, or are persuaded by others to see a TCM physician. By the time patients reach us, besides their own lesions, they carry the side effects of Western drugs. Patients are completely unaware that Western drug side effects are often more severe than the original disease. Simultaneously, patients hold a skeptical attitude, sometimes unable to describe their symptoms clearly, yet demanding overnight recovery. If it doesn't work, they blame the TCM doctor. Western drugs are taken for life; many patients never regret it. But taking Chinese herbs lacks persistence; stopping and starting frequently prevents healing. How can the disease heal? How can herbs be useful? This stems from unclear understanding of TCM and insufficient knowledge of Western medicine. Patients should blame their own ignorance, yet the vast majority blame TCM. This is one reason for the decline of TCM. Based on my years of experience and understanding of Chinese people, I advise excellent TCM physicians not to treat those who do not believe in TCM. There are only two types of non-believers: 1. Those with no knowledge who completely misunderstand and deny TCM. 2. Western physicians who know Western drugs are ineffective but, against their conscience, tell patients TCM is superstitious and unscientific. Neither type is worth saving. In the future, believers in TCM will increase because non-believers will die quickly from Western drugs, reducing their numbers, while believers will survive.
Jingfang vs. Wenbing
Northern Jingfang specialists and Southern Wenbing schools have completely different perspectives on medical research, interpreting classics from the *Neijing* to the *Bencao* differently. How to distinguish them? Simply put, their prescriptions never contain herbs like Ephedrae Herba (Mahuang), Cinnamon Twig (Guizhi), Gypsum Fibrosum (Shigao), or Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata (Fuzi), regarding them as snakes and scorpions. They not only refuse to use them themselves but also tell patients not to use them, complaining that their effects are too strong, classifying them as harsh drugs with many side effects. Wenbing TCM physicians making such statements constitute the majority. They do not deeply study the *Neijing* and *Shennong Bencao Jing*, resulting in a complete lack of understanding of the *Shanghan Lun* and *Jinkui Yaolue*. Because if they understood well and correctly used Mahuang, Guizhi, Shigao, Fuzi, etc., treating diseases would be effortless, with great and rapid effects. Using Ye Tianshi's prescriptions from the *Wenbing Tiaobian* is not only ineffective but delays time, changes conditions rapidly, making subsequent treatment more difficult and increasing the number of drugs used. Jingfang specialists emphasize simple prescriptions with potent effects, whereas Wenbing physicians often prescribe formulas containing forty to fifty herbs, or even eighty to ninety, resembling shooting birds with a shotgun. For example, for coughs, they place all herbs in the *Bencao Gangmu* effective for coughs into one prescription. Little do they know all Chinese herbs must be prescribed based on exterior/interior and cold/heat patterns, not randomly added together. This is the difference between Jingfang and Wenbing schools. Since the diagnostic methods of the *Neijing* and the essence of Jingfang have long been lost, only forms remain in books. Therefore, I spent much time realizing through clinical experience that the application of *Neijing* diagnostics and Jingfang yields great effects. I completely discard the Wenbing claim that "there is no Shanghan in the South," simultaneously proving Ye Tianshi's erroneous concepts. Because TCM academia was misled into a dead end by the Southern Wenbing school, becoming entrenched and arbitrarily discarded by ignorant Chinese people holding suspicious attitudes, if we do not promote Northern Jingfang scholarship, TCM will eventually decline. Fortunately, Americans accept foreign cultural baptism very well, giving me the opportunity to promote traditional TCM. Winners are kings, losers are bandits; I will definitely let the world know that five thousand years of Chinese culture has unique merits, especially TCM theory which has already been settled and needs no addition or subtraction; we only need to study it. Personally, I hate Ye Tianshi, known as the "Star of Heavenly Doctors," who was a famous Ming/Qing dynasty physician. He used his fame to create the Wenbing school and wrote the *Wenbing Tiaobian*, thereby misleading the field of TCM study for Chinese people. Many TCM physicians in Taiwan and mainland China have high qualities and virtue/talent, but their TCM concepts were misled by this person, hindering the development of Chinese medicine. Chinese history prioritized Jingfang until the Ming and Qing dynasties when the Wenbing school appeared. We should return to studying Jingfang. Believing that gathering collective intelligence will surely allow TCM to be promoted worldwide.
