Someone asked: Can the Yin and Yang and Five Elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine overturn Western Medicine's vaccine?
answered no. The Yin and Yang and Five Elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine cannot overthrow the Western medicine vaccine, and the Western medicine vaccine cannot overthrow the Yin and Yang and Five Elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine. We should not oppose the two.
Traditional Chinese medicine's view of curing diseases is somewhat the same as Western medicine, which is closely related to the fact that traditional Chinese medicine comes from Taoist , and Taoist simple philosophical views have profoundly influenced traditional Chinese medicine.
Yin and Five Elements were not created by ancient Chinese medicine practitioners. Yin and Yang and the Five Elements come from Taoism. In China, there is Tao first and then medicine later. Yin and Yang and the Five Elements contain simple and profound philosophical views.
Traditional medicine believes that people get sick because they are infected with "evil", and evil is the cause of all diseases. Therefore, "eliminating evil" has become the basic rule of traditional Chinese medicine to cure diseases.
So how can we "eliminate evil"? The answer is "Support the right". This contains philosophical views.
"留" and the oblique character are homophones, which means "incorrect", and are crooked. When a person gets sick, he can look "wrong, wrong". How to cure him? Stir him. If you have strengthened yourself, won’t you eliminate evil (slant)?
Therefore, "reinforcing the body and eliminating evil" is still the basic rule of traditional Chinese medicine to cure diseases. This basic rule is used by traditional Chinese medicine in treating the treatment of new coronavirus pneumonia.
Here it should be explained that Chinese and Western medicine lacks effective means for the treatment of viral diseases. The "reinforce the body and eliminate evil" of traditional Chinese medicine and the vaccination of Western medicine both achieve the effect of curing diseases by enhancing human immunity. They are all a kind of "standardization".
Practice has proved that vaccination is still the best means and method to prevent infectious viral diseases, such as vaccination with measles vaccine, influenza vaccine, Japanese encephalitis vaccine, polio vaccine, etc.
Although there is currently no vaccine in the world that can truly prevent COVID-19 infection, the existing vaccines can reduce the patient's symptoms and reduce the patient's mortality rate. So we must actively receive the new coronavirus vaccine , especially the elderly and children.
