What is the main difference between western medicine and Chinese medicine?

Anti-differentiation therapy is an effective method to treat schizophrenia, mania and depression. Anti-differentiation therapy is an innovation of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine, and it is a technical achievement obtained through years of practice and research by using modern western medicine methods and drawing lessons from classical theories of Chinese medicine in Xintai Guangxin Hospital. Through clinical differentiation of diseases by western medicine and syndrome differentiation by traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese and western medicine have the same goal and complementary advantages, which have solved medical problems that can not be solved by western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine alone, especially in schizophrenia and mood disorders (mania, depression and manic depression), and achieved satisfactory therapeutic effects. This method has cured thousands of mental patients. From the development process, Chinese and western medicine take different paths, have different understanding of mental illness, and have different medical methods. Western medicine, based on materialist philosophy and natural science, pays more attention to the organic changes of life, focusing on the part and not enough on the system. According to the clinical research of western medicine (CT and MRI), it is found that most mental diseases belong to the structural and pathological changes of the brain, and western medicine pays more attention to the suppression and resistance of diseases in medical means; Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a systematic and simple materialistic philosophy from the beginning, which holds that man, as a living body, is connected with heaven and earth and absorbs the essence of all things. Any pathological changes and abnormalities of human beings come from the imbalance of life system: poor qi pulse and blood stasis. In practice, Chinese medicine generally treats in the form of nourishing and recuperating. Traditional Chinese medicine is not a temporary solution, but a root cause, looking for the causal relationship between phenomena. Wang Qingren, a famous doctor in Qing Dynasty, pointed out in Lin Yi's Correcting Mistakes that "madness is a disease of qi stagnation and blood stasis, and the brain and qi are not connected with viscera, which seems to be a dream", which provides strong evidence for the treatment of mental illness by traditional Chinese medicine. According to the therapeutic theory of "Acupuncture and Moxibustion" written by Yang Jizhou, a famous doctor in Ming Dynasty, it is believed that the purpose of treating mental illness can be achieved by accurately and effectively regulating the qi and blood of mental patients, regulating the qi and blood yin and yang of zang-fu organs, exerting the maximum therapeutic effect of meridian points at a specific time and restoring the normal time law of qi and blood operation of patients. Generally speaking, many mental diseases are characterized by hallucinations, multilingualism, restlessness, or silence and out-of-control behavior. These behavioral characteristics make people around them dangerous, and patients themselves suffer from self-harm and other injuries at any time. For this reason, for the mental patient who has just received treatment, the first thing to do is to reduce or restrain her abnormal thinking and behavior as soon as possible. Western medicine can really play a very good role in this respect. Some drugs can quickly improve the behavior of patients and restore them to acceptable behavior characteristics of normal people. However, western medicine treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. It only plays the role of rapid relief and inhibition, and has great side effects. The longer the medication time, the greater the side effects. Patients treated with western medicine alone often show dull eyes and slow response, which is always different from ordinary people. This method is generally only used by western medicine at the initial stage of treatment. Under the condition of ensuring the patient's behavior tends to be normal, the treatment at the fundamental and core stage depends on Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine can reduce the side effects of western medicine, treat both the symptoms and root causes, but the course of treatment is slightly longer, but the possibility of recurrence after cure is greatly reduced. Combined with many years' practice and research, our hospital has developed a combined prescription of Ye Zhi Guben Decoction and drugs, which is mainly suitable for treating schizophrenia, mania and depression, and realizes tonifying deficiency and purging excess, calming the liver and benefiting gallbladder, communicating the heart and kidney, nourishing and strengthening tendons. At the same time, acupuncture and moxibustion of traditional Chinese medicine are used to select points on time according to the Eight Meridian Methods and Gui Ling, so as to achieve the effect of dredging and waking up, balance the imbalance, supplement the deficiency and make the voiced sound clear. Generally, after 3-4 months of modulation, more than 95% of patients have achieved outstanding curative effects, and the recurrence rate of patients is very low, and many patients have returned to society.
