Chapter 458 Proof
Jiangcheng Medical University is crowded with people.
Various young men and women were walking around the campus. College life may be the most enjoyable time in their lives. Yang Tian found a few students and asked about them, and soon found the place where the anti-TCM meeting was held.
The school has a large auditorium that can accommodate thousands of people.
Many students are required by the school to participate, especially students in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
By the time Yang Tian arrived at the auditorium, the conference was already in progress.
The auditorium was full of students, and there were five people sitting on the rostrum, looking down from a high position. Among them, the one sitting in the center was McQuay, accompanied by four other important figures from Jiangcheng Medical University.
McQuay is a great figure in the foreign medical field. He currently teaches at Harvard Medical School, has his own medical laboratory, and has a high status in the foreign medical industry.
When Yang Tian entered the auditorium, McIver was talking nonsense about Chinese medicine.
"TCM is like a decadent feudal dynasty. It is backward, ignorant and should be eliminated!"
"Look at these traditional Chinese medicines, God, they have unknown side effects. These medicines have not even undergone adequate medical experiments!"
"Traditional Chinese medicine even has some yin-yang dialectical theory. For a simple cold, we still need to distinguish between wind-heat cold and wind-cold cold. Is there any difference? A cold is either infected by a virus or a bacteria, it's that simple!"
"Others, such as acupoints and meridians, are not worth mentioning. With the development of anatomy to this day, no acupoints or meridians have ever been found in the human body!"
"The theory of traditional Chinese medicine is based on fantasy. A discipline based on fantasy is simply a joke and not scientific at all!"
"Everyone, you have to believe in science. Anti-TCM is science!"
McQuay held several boxes of medicines in his hand and waved them vigorously. They were several common Chinese patent medicines on the market. These medicines generally have a common feature, that is, they will write "unknown" in the side effects column.
This is exactly the problem caused by the modernization and scientificization of traditional Chinese medicine.
The biggest problem with traditional Chinese medicine is that it cannot use science to explain the working principle of drugs. Many drugs can indeed cure diseases, but why these drugs can treat this disease and what the principle is cannot be scientifically explained.
This has also led to difficulties in the scientificization of traditional Chinese medicine, which has become the focus of attacks by Western medicine.
"Dr. Mike, I don't agree with your point of view. Colds can indeed be divided into wind-cold colds and wind-heat colds. You can have Western medicine and Chinese medicine. As long as it can cure the disease, it is good medicine!"
Gu Zhihan, who was sitting in the front row, couldn't bear it anymore and stood up and said loudly, "As for meridians and acupuncture points, you can't say that they don't exist because they can't be discovered by current science!"
"Before science discovered air, didn't air exist? Before science discovered light, didn't light also exist?"
"The meridians have not been discovered yet. You cannot arbitrarily say that they do not exist. As for acupuncture points, I can prove that they exist now!"
As soon as Gu Zhihan finished speaking, many medical students started talking in low voices.
Many of these medical students are students of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine. They have learned a lot and naturally know that traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine are indeed effective in many aspects.
But the inability to modernize and scientificize is indeed the biggest problem of traditional Chinese medicine.
"Actually, wind-chill cold and wind-heat cold are viral colds and bacterial colds, they are just called differently!"
"To be honest, for some diseases, Chinese medicine will make you live in confusion, while Western medicine will make you die in a clear way!"
"Some things in traditional Chinese medicine are indeed useful, but I think there is no need to regard traditional Chinese medicine as a separate subject. Traditional Chinese medicine can be integrated into Western medicine. If it is useful, use it, and if it is useless, we should eliminate it!"
"It makes sense. Traditional Chinese medicine does not need to exist alone. It can be integrated into Western medicine and carried forward!"
"Haha, that's what you call carrying forward?"
Many medical students have been talking about it. Many medical students think that what McQuay said is very reasonable. The failure to make it scientific is a problem of traditional Chinese medicine, but not a scientific problem.
Some students also believe that, on the contrary, the failure of traditional Chinese medicine to become scientific is a scientific problem, not a problem of traditional Chinese medicine. It can only be said that the current science is not developed and strong enough.
"There is a saying that true knowledge comes from practice, prove it to me!" McIver held his head high and said condescendingly. His eyes were full of contempt, and he didn't take Gu Zhihan seriously at all.
Several leaders from Jiangcheng Medical University on the podium looked at each other and did not stop them. They all received enough benefits to facilitate this conference.
If we can defeat Gu Zhihan and prove that traditional Chinese medicine is not effective, then the conference will be a complete success.
Those European and American pharmaceutical giants have so much to offer, including money, honors, and recommending their children to study in prestigious European and American schools. It is difficult for them to resist these benefits.
"Okay, then I'll prove it to you!" Gu Zhihan nodded and walked directly to the podium. He looked around and didn't notice Yang Tian standing at the back of the auditorium, "I need a volunteer now.
Which student is willing to come up?"
Many medical students looked at each other and didn't seem to want to join in the fun.
"Dean Gu, me!"
Zhou Xiaowei suddenly stood up and walked onto the podium.
"It's the school girl from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital!"
"This school girl is so beautiful!"
"Of course she is beautiful. She is a strong competitor for the beauty of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Many people want to chase her!"
As soon as Zhou Xiaowei came on stage, she caused a commotion, and many people actually knew her.
"Dean Gu, what should I do?"
Zhou Xiaowei asked nervously after taking the stage.
"Don't be nervous, just sit there!" Gu Zhihan asked someone to bring up a chair, motioned Zhou Xiaowei to sit down, and then said, "Everyone, everyone learned the knee-jerk reaction in junior high school biology. Dr. Mike said that the human body does not
There are no acupuncture points, so I will use silver needles to seal the acupuncture points on this student’s knees today to prevent the knee-jerk reaction!”
"Pull up your trouser legs!"
Zhou Xiaowei nodded, quickly pulled up her pants, and then rolled them up. Fortunately, the pants she wore were relatively loose and could be rolled up to just above her knees.
"Everyone, please look!"
Gu Zhihan nodded slightly, took out the silver needles, and stabbed three silver needles directly around Zhou Xiaowei's knees. Then he asked Zhou Xiaowei to cross one leg and put it on the other.
"No more knee-jerk reactions now!"
Gu Zhihan took out a small hammer and tapped Zhou Xiaowei's knee.
"Boom!"
There was a soft sound, and Zhou Xiaowei's legs didn't move at all, with no knee-jerk reaction at all.
"This is the function of acupuncture points and meridians. I used silver needles to block this classmate's meridians and acupuncture points, so she will no longer have knee-jerk reactions!"
Chapter completed!
