1. TCM cannot cure people with unhealthy life style, such as staying up late or even overnight, excessive use of brain, accumulation of stress, depression, drinking ice water, lack of exercise, eating processed foods, excessive take of western medicine, etc.
2. Result of treatment of organic diseases is relatively poor
Records exist that TCM could cure severe life-threatening diseases such as cancer, and with great success, but there are some restricting factors:
1) These TCM physicians are limited in number;
2) Some of such experiences are restricted by modern medicine management regulations and cannot be popularized in most places in today’s world. For instance, some prescription have been validated to be very effective in treatment of a variety of medium to advanced cancers; however, because of a crucial yet controversial TCM herb medicine of monkshood, whose toxicity is pretty large by modern standard, the difficulty in populating such prescriptions is tremendous.
(Note: once decocted in water for extended periods of time, the toxicity of monkshood is largely reduced and not comparable with that of crude monkshood, but its curative rationale of ‘counteract one toxin with another’ bear immense efficacy against a multitude of stubborn disease).
As a result, when diseases developed to the stage of organic illnesses, very few TCM physicians possess both ability and condition of treatment to restore patient’s health, while the majority of TCM physicians are powerless under such circumstances.
3. The effect is poor when both Chinese traditional medicine (CTM) and Western medicine (WM) are taken at the same time
It has long been the author’s observation that treatment effect is generally poor on patients who take both CTM and WM at the same time. The reason is these belong to medicine of two different system, between which conflicts frequently arise.
Modern WM has invented tens of thousands of drugs, the reciprocity among them are often unclear even to researchers of WM; many patients actually die of the resulting side effects every year. The reciprocity between CTM and WM is even less studied, leaving the risk of their combined usage much greater. For example, to treat cold according to “Treatise on Febrile Disease”, if diagnosed and treated properly, normally within 3 days the patient is expected to reach full recovery. But if antibiotics is taken at the same time, sometimes it would last for weeks without recovery.

Long time reader, first time commenter — so, thought I’d drop a
comment.. — and at the same time ask for a favor.
Your wordpress site is very simplistic – hope you don’t mind me asking what theme you’re using?
(and don’t mind if I steal it? :P)
I just launched my small businesses site –also built in wordpress like yours– but the theme slows (!) the site down quite a bit.
In case you have a minute, you can find it by searching for “royal cbd” on Google (would appreciate any
feedback)
Keep up the good work– and take care of yourself during the coronavirus scare!

Hi there to every one, as I am truly eager of reading this website’s post
to be updated regularly. It consists of good material.
Hello there! Quick question that’s totally off topic.
Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?
My website looks weird when browsing from
my iphone. I’m trying to find a theme or
plugin that might be able to correct this problem. If you have any recommendations, please share.
Many thanks!
As far as I know there is little that can be done to make site mobile friendly, other than choosing a template friendly to mobile devices in the first place. Good news is there are many such templates out there.
Sorry I am not familar about this. Google may have some good recommendations I suppose.
I like it when people come together and share views. Great blog, continue the good work!
Hi there, just wanted to mention, I enjoyed this blog post.
