Hong Kong is set to open its first traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) hospital in 2025. Alternative medicine has had a steady stream of local supporters in the last century, but nowhere near the level seen of Western medicine in the former British colony. Misconceptions, lack of government support, as well as costs have both contributed to TCM’s stagnant popularity, while previous attempts to open a hospital were plagued by disagreements. A Covid-era government push, however, has led to more recent converts.

Why can't people just extract the chemical in TCM and just call it normal medicine?

@TeacherCarol-gy5ff Месяц назад

It is a complicated mixture of a variety of things which is tailored to each patioent. I became a believer when I first arrived in Hong Kong. My daughter was often sick for 9 months of the year. She had pneumonia 4 times. She had a horrible deep cough that kept her up at night. She was getting weaker and sicker. A new friend noticed and immediately we went to a TCM doctor. To this day, I have no idea what he gave her but after drinking the concoction my daughter had a restful sleep that night. She recovered quickly after after that never was so sick again. After reading in Pub Med the efficacy of TCM, I try to stay away from Western Medicine.

The extraction is the problem. Extraction increases the purity of the chemical compound. Such a pure compound is not necessarily beneficial to the body because it may be too potent. Too strong. The chemical compound is not bound up to some other thing. Extraction is based on the assumption that the chemical compound alone works to treat X, Y, Z. In reality, it may be the combination of two or more compounds to create a certain effect on X, Y, Z. The same is true for anthocyanins. They are antioxidants, but it is best to take them in the form of red, purple and blue fruits and vegetables. So, in a way, Traditional Chinese Medicine is much more holistic than Western Medicine.

Half of the things in TCM have no scientific base and is like "magic healing powder".

@jvp9703 Месяц назад

Because that would be replicating Western medicine, which uses a "magic hammer" approach. Forceful and potent, but one dimensional and can severely affect the body's biochemistry balance. This is why Western medicine always comes with a big warning list of side effects. TCM utilizes multiple natural compounds in lower dosages over a longer period of time, so as not to upset the body, making it a more harmonious approach.

TCM is only medicine that has been combined over and over in different ways until it kind of works on a patient. It obviously should be analyzed to ensure each ingredient is working as it should and will ensure the health of the patient

this is wonderful news. Why was TCM relegated to a secondary medicine for so long? When I was a kid, growing up in the UK, western medicine could not effectively treat nor cure my eczema. We found a TCM specialist here in Glasgow, and his treatments were effective at removing pretty much all of my eczema symptoms

@KJ_2020 Месяц назад

why is it a secondary medicine? because nobody is going to run to the TCM hospital if there is a genuine emergency.

@JS-rm2ws Месяц назад

@@KJ_2020 emergency medicine and A&E is only one category of medicine. When you have eczema so bad it bleeds, A&E isn't where you go for help

@Cosmo1093 Месяц назад

Because the TCM that has been clinically proven to work is just called "medicine". It's how bear bile became UDCA and how sweet wormwood became DCA. The rest has been regarded as a "secondary medicine" because nobody has proven whether they're any better or worse than placebos.

Not really. Lots of herbal supplements are also produced in the US.
