The folk doctors of traditional Chinese medicine form a special group. The pure ones are representative of traditional Chinese medicine culture. Part of them carry forward traditional Chinese medicine, some are famous and benefit the local people, and some folk doctors know western medicine well but treat mainly in Chinese traditional medicine.
We know most patients will choose western medicine as their first clinical choice, just when they are lack of the medical resources, or get stubborn disease that can’t be cured by western medicine, they will turn to traditional Chinese medicine.
As a result, the competent doctors of traditional Chinese medicine gradually become expert in pathognomonic sign. Li XiaoPing is one of them who doctors for 30 years, and opens a clinic for about 20 years. She specializes in the disease of the genitourinary system.
Many folk doctors of traditional Chinese medicine, like doctor Li, are capable and experienced, and have their own prescriptions for some familiar symptoms due to their plentiful traditional Chinese medical science knowledge and clinical experiences. However, the doctors find the prescriptions are difficult to popularize, even if they desire to carry forward the traditional Chinese medicine and help more patients, they can’t change the situation as well. The resources they can use are too little.
If they plan to get the support from the government, they will find the threshold is so high that they can’t reach.
Many folk doctors of traditional Chinese medicine are good at medical skills and medical ethics, but because of all kinds of thresholds hard to reach, they can’t change their terrible survival circumstances, no less than spread the prescriptions summarized by them effectively.( Such as the pill of diuresis and antiphlogosis invented by myself has the curative effect of promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis, being antiproliferative, antifibrosis, detoxify and sterilization to treat male reproductive system disease,
mycoplasma,
chlamydia,
prostatitis, testicular inflammation, the
epididymitis, seminal vesicle inflammation, and urinary system disease,
cystitis, urethritis, interstitial cystitis, cystitis glandularis, etc.The
Fuyan Pills, treat female reproductive system disease, women mycoplasma, chlamydia, cervical, pelvic, uterine disease with the effect of detoxification and sterilization.)
The accuse of non-scientific for traditional Chinese medicine from western medicine system is due to a lot of people influenced by modern science, considering that the theory of traditional Chinese medicine originated from ancient Chinese simple philosophy. And because of its congenital inadequacy, it is not scientific. Doctor Li doesn’t agree with such views, ‘Reasonable scientific theory for traditional Chinese medicine hasn’t been discovered clearly indeed, even though, its existence can’t be denied, because the curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine could be seen, hear and touched by us. Theory informing practice is right, but it is not advisable to neglect the facts and deny the value of traditional Chinese medicine just because the theory is insufficient. That kind of deed is not responsible for patients that can’t be cured by western medicine! I hope the government increases the investment to traditional Chinese medicine, not only supporting the traditional Chinese medical culture, but also helping traditional Chinese medicine to develop both in theory and practice field.’
To this day, there is no drug of traditional Chinese medicine registered patent successfully in European. In China, the originating place of traditional Chinese medicine, western medicine continues to develop while traditional Chinese medicine continues to decline. The doctors of folk traditional Chinese medicine survive roughly. What exactly can they do? Do they stand firmly or linger out? When we find those doctors of folk traditional Chinese medicine struggling for survival, perhaps in every one’ heart there is an answer that they don’t want to face.
