- Hi
all,
I agree with Z'ev. Chinese Medicine should be differentiated from
Western Medicine at the framework, foundation, and structure of medicine.
There is no scientific evidence and ground to judge Chinese Medicine by
means of Western Medicine's standards and approaches.
In some senses, the relationship between Chinese Medicine and Western
Medicine is similar to the relationship between Chinese language and English
language. To judge Chinese Medicine by means of Western Medicine's
standards and approaches is similar to judge the correctness of Chinese
language by means of English grammar. Will this work?
The correctness of Chinese language should be judged by Chinese grammar.
Similarly, the efficacy and safety of Chinese Medicine should be judged by
Chinese Medicine's standards and methodologies.
