Chinese medicine treats the root cause and western medicine treats the symptoms, but Chinese medicine is controversial now, why?

I believe in Chinese medicine because when I was a kid, I met a real old Chinese doctor who really knew how to take a pulse, and I saw it with my own eyes. But when it comes to the new era of Chinese and Western medicine, there are advantages and disadvantages to each, and in a broad sense, Western medicine does have the advantage.

1. Talent training, Western doctors only need to go through about 5 years of training, you can see the life of a small disease, 10 years, plus a piece of clinical experience, fully able to cope with the life of a common disease. But Chinese medicine this is far from enough, because Chinese medicine hundreds of thousands of herbs, it is not a year or two can remember, and finally involves the issue of pulse, a pulse can be difficult to all the people who really learn Chinese medicine, because he needs to hand in hand to teach, purely from the book to go to see, there is no way to, the complete learning of it, the simple fact is that the Western medical doctors, a teacher in the 5 years can be handed over hundreds of students, but Chinese medicine 5 years may be able to see the life of a small disease, 10 years, plus a piece of clinical experience, completely able to cope with life's common diseases. Chinese medicine 5 years may really qualified disciples 5 are not seen to be able to teach out, this talent training is doomed to Chinese medicine is at a disadvantage.

2. Raw materials, Chinese medicine is more concerned about, heaven and earth and people and gas, so that a lot of raw materials in Western medicine is no scientific basis, but it does have a role to play, such as some of the soil prescription, these are the people of ancient times according to the reality of life summarized some of the experience, but now some of them are already Can not find, some because of the change of the times simply can not figure out what this medicine it really is, so that medicinal raw materials of the problem there is no way to get a real solution, there are a lot of Chinese medicine prescription, it is there, but the raw materials can not afford to squeeze, there is no way to verify that it is in the end there is no role, and Western medicine is different, it only needs some simple raw materials, it is probably able to quit life, almost All the medicines needed.

3. Treatment cycle, the treatment cycle of Chinese medicine is very long, even if it is a cold and fever may take a week to be cured, but the western medicine to take two tablets, one or two hours to see the effect of the effect on people's lives is completely different,

3. While Western medicine has the problem of drug resistance, but he is fast, now people are used to the fast-paced life, do not realize the impact of antibiotics on the body, as well as the future of resistance to what people should do, so that the Western medicine is very hot, Chinese medicine is gradually weakened.

This is only the three aspects I can think of, Chinese medicine declined down absolutely not only because of these three aspects, there are many many reasons I can not think of.
