Wang Jingfu: "Reflection of a Chinese medicine enthusiast: Why did I refuse a physical examination?"

In these two days, the unit organized physical examination for employees. In previous years, this is the year I look forward to most. I hope to give myself some health comfort or warning through the hospital's advanced instruments and a detailed inspection data. However, every time I open the medical examination results, my heart is full of worries. The data shows that my body is always out of order. In order not to bother myself, I stopped my physical examination in 2005. An old friend didn't understand and said I went to extremes. If I get sick and don't go to the physical examination, it will be too late to regret it. Her concern is justified. Recently, the media have reported the news that celebrities died young. The news of the sudden death of comedian Hou has not calmed down the readers who love cross talk. The deaths of Taiwan Province director Yang Dechang and mainland cinematographer Zhao Xiaobing further stimulated our nerves. What is even more embarrassing is that Taiwan Province's richest man, Guo Taiming, failed to save his brother Guo Taicheng who suffered from leukemia. They are all rich and famous, and they can find the most authoritative doctors and medicines in the world, but they still have no choice but to report to God one by one. After reading these reports, all my friends around me looked gloomy. Who doesn't want to live a healthy life?

However, can physical examination really solve our health problems? In fact, more often, the results of physical examination bring us panic, fear and unnecessary waste of people and money. I was fine before the physical examination. After the physical examination, there are always several colleagues who are very worried, such as hysteromyoma, hyperplasia of mammary glands, hypertension, anemia ... Anyway, few people's indicators are completely normal. For the sake of health, in order to live a few more years, everyone began to swallow medicine according to the doctor's advice, looking for vitamins, antihypertensive drugs and blood tonic drugs one by one. If it is serious, major hospitals should take turns to check it to see if surgery is needed. When they learned that their transaminase was high, many people were told that they would get hepatitis if they ate bad medicine, and as a result, it was really hepatitis cirrhosis after eating good western medicine. When they know that their blood sugar is high, many people will take hypoglycemic drugs seriously, which will lead to liver injury and kidney injury, and finally the complications will end.

After several years of physical examination and observing the experiences of friends around me, I became smarter, knowing that physical examination can't guarantee my health, and western medicine can't guarantee my health. In that case, we are living people, why should we give our health to cold instruments? Why should the instrument be in charge? Why are you led by "scientific data"?

Our grandparents have never done B-ultrasound or X-ray, blood test or urine test, but they can all live to be 80-90 years old or even 30 years old. On the contrary, our annual physical examination is not necessarily longer than our parents' health and longevity. On the contrary, many healthy people are scared to death by "data and indicators".

Ren, a famous Chinese doctor in Beijing, once said, "Physical examination is like fishing in the net. In order to catch all the fish, fishermen often drive them into a deep pool. In order to make all medical examiners sick, Western medicine will induce everyone to have regular medical examinations. " Unfortunately, all people enjoy this "inducement" and then willingly become "people with abnormal indicators or data", which can also be called "unhealthy people". Once you become a "person with abnormal indicators or data", you will be trapped by western medicine, and the day you get rid of it is the day you meet God.

A classmate in Toronto, Canada, had a physical examination result of osteoporosis last year. The doctor told her that her osteoporosis is equivalent to a 70-year-old woman. If she accidentally falls, she will be shattered. This is not bad. Although my classmate is only 40 years old, his legs are weak because of the doctor's fear, as if he heard the sound of a bone cracking. The doctor prescribed a drug called Fu Shanmei for the treatment of osteoporosis, and asked her to take it for three years and check it regularly. After taking medicine for three months, my classmate got a serious stomach trouble. They have to eat a lot of snacks every night, otherwise they will have stomachache. What's more frightening is that they have to sleep on high pillows at night, otherwise the sour water in their stomachs will flood into their mouths. Students looked it up on the Internet and found that Fushanmei had a strong side effect on the stomach. I dare not take any more medicine, and I am worried that osteoporosis will affect my future health, so I walk in the sun every day. The osteoporosis index was normal in the second year. The doctor who prescribed her medicine was very proud and thought that the medicine he prescribed cured my classmate's osteoporosis. My classmate told him angrily that he had only taken medicine for three months, and now his stomach trouble is very serious. The doctor casually said, then I'll help you with your stomach trouble now. This classmate was clever this time and asked Prevacid what side effects his stomach medicine had. The doctor said no and advised my classmates not to search online again. Students do not believe, we must understand the harm of stomach medicine to the body. Finally, the doctor said helplessly, "If there are side effects, this medicine will lead to osteoporosis." My classmate almost fainted after listening to it. If Zhao Benshan plays a sketch in this story, it will definitely be better than Abduction. If my classmate doesn't grow up and take the stomach medicine prescribed by that doctor, will there be a day of solution in this life? In the end, it's like kicking, closing your eyes and dying.

Recently, a friend of the president of Mr. Wang (hospital) asked Mr. Wang to go to his hospital for a full-body examination, saying it was the most advanced and comprehensive physical examination at present. After listening, I said to my husband, "Please don't be a fish caught in a net!" " "The more advanced and comprehensive Dopple is, the more fish there are in the net, that's all. Western medicine is a medicine that studies diseases and is also a commercial medicine. Everything is to make money, so it tries its best to find diseases in us, and physical examination is the best means. Germany started the national health examination from June 1989 to June 10. Two years later, medical insurance doctors put forward proud data: only 43% patients were not sick; The remaining 57% just fell into the medical network. Therefore, with the increase of inspection items, the proportion of people at risk will naturally increase. Dr. Uweihaier of Dü sseldorf predicted: "It is foreseeable that in a few years, almost no one will be healthy except those who have not participated in the health check-up. 199 1 year, the German "Doctor Daily" reported: "If all goes well, each clinic can earn about 70,000 marks every two years as long as there are 1000 medical examiners. If cancer screening is carried out at the same time, there will be more room for income growth. That's great. "Visible, physical examination and illness is an agreement reached by interest groups, they weave a beautiful net, let the ignorant China people trap themselves.

? I woke up in time, because I felt the same way about the famous saying of the English writer Huxley that "medicine has advanced to the point where no one is healthy anymore".

When I realized that the purpose of western medicine is to find our "diseases", take money from our pockets and make us rely on their drugs for a long time, I dared not stay away! I began to get in touch with our Chinese medicine culture, and found that Chinese medicine is just the opposite of western medicine. I suggest that we take less medicine and exercise more, try our best to mobilize our own repair function and spend less money. It turns out that Chinese medicine with a history of thousands of years is extensive and profound. Based on my understanding of Chinese medicine, I found that Chinese medicine is a medicine that studies health preservation. The biggest feature of traditional Chinese medicine is the overall concept.

The so-called holistic concept is to treat local lesions in isolation, always from the internal relationship of the human body and the relationship between the human body and the outside world. When studying the physiological, pathological and therapeutic laws of the human body, Chinese medicine does not need the method of decomposition, but carefully observes and records the human body as a whole, summarizes the laws from a large number of clinical phenomena, and deduces the internal relations of the human body, which is the black box theory method. Black box theory and method are put into daily life, just like buying watermelon. I don't know watermelon. I can only buy cut watermelons until the flesh is red, but this can't guarantee that the watermelons I bought are sweet. But I have a friend who can tell the quality of watermelon by holding it to his ear, patting it, bouncing it and looking at its pedicel, and almost never misses it. Picking melons is like feeling the pulse of Chinese medicine, relying on experience. I can't pick melons, just like western medicine cures diseases. Seeing is believing, and I have to confirm whether the internal tissue of melon is OK, otherwise I won't buy it (just cell analysis).

? Chinese medicine is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. "The upper layer of Chinese medicine can cure diseases before they occur, the middle layer can cure diseases before they occur, and the lower layer can cure diseases before they occur." The best western medicine only treats diseases, so the lowest Chinese medicine is better than the highest western medicine. Because after treating people who are "already sick", West will create another disease. On the premise of strengthening the body resistance and balancing yin and yang, Chinese medicine can "observe its internal changes and seek the essence from the phenomena" according to the information transmitted by "syndrome", so as to treat it based on syndrome differentiation and conduct "comprehensive operation" as a whole, which is why some patients only want to treat cough or constipation when they come to see a doctor. After a period of conditioning, other diseases such as stomach pain and backache will be solved.

? The 22-year-old nephew was diagnosed with tuberculosis when he joined the army, and the local hospital provided free treatment. However, three months later, the doctor asked him to take liver protection medicine, and two months later, he was asked to take kidney protection medicine. Not to mention 400-500 yuan's drugs for protecting liver and kidney should be paid at their own expense every month. What is even more frightening is that after half a year's treatment, my nephew is weak, panting upstairs, insomnia, awkward work and yellow face. This is not a healthy state for a young man! There is no energy at all. Alas, tuberculosis is not cured, and liver and kidney functions are being destroyed. What's the difference between this treatment and killing the goose that lays the golden egg? That is, the index of tuberculosis conforms to the standards of western medicine, but it is obtained at the expense of liver and kidney function. I asked my nephew to throw all the western medicine into the trash can, and immediately found a Chinese medicine doctor and a famous doctor, Mr. Zhao, to recuperate. He only took Chinese medicine, didn't go to the tuberculosis hospital to get medicine, and didn't do any tests. A month and a half later, my nephew went to the hospital for reexamination, and all the indicators were normal. The doctor is curious about how my nephew recovered after being "missing" for more than a month. I wonder if they can figure it out.

The Canadian students mentioned above, after suffering from a serious stomach disease, are getting worse and worse, and often catch a cold and have a fever. Later, they stole night sweats. In severe cases, they need to change two sets of pajamas and sheets every night. You may not know that western medicine is the most powerful bitter cold medicine. All bitter and cold medicines hurt the spleen and stomach and kidney yang. If the yang is less, it will definitely lead to the loss of yin, so the sweat of the classmates will be involuntarily discharged. Kidney is congenital, spleen and stomach are acquired. The kidney provides energy for the normal operation of the whole body organs, and the spleen and stomach supply the kidney. These two functions have been destroyed, just like being attacked at the same time. How can there be a way out? After chatting with me on MSN for a while, my classmate came back from Canada by plane. I telegraphed her pulse and tongue to Miss Zhao. According to teacher Zhao's prescription, I asked her to take some herbs back to Toronto, some of which were prepared in the local Chinese medicine shop. Night sweats are reduced to once on the night when students take medicine, and the problem of night sweats after taking medicine once every three days is basically solved. She thought it was amazing and asked if she could cure her stomach trouble. I said that all the medicines prescribed by Mr. Zhao are for treating diseases, and the purpose is to restore your own yang, that is, righteousness. When you have enough righteousness, you have the ability of self-healing and self-repair. This is the truth of Neijing that "healthy qi should be kept inside, and evil should not be done".

Therefore, western medicine cures diseases and Chinese medicine saves lives. Traditional Chinese medicine will not be limited to "symptoms" in syndrome differentiation and treatment, but will analyze and study "symptoms" macroscopically after "four diagnoses", then make a judgment and then "comprehensive treatment"

Our bodies are grown by our parents and come from them. For thousands of years, times have changed and technology has changed, but our bodies have not changed, and our internal organs are exactly the same as thousands of years ago. However, under the premise of stressing science in life, diet, dress, study, consciousness and other fields, we also want to make our bodies "scientific", so we give our health to scientific instruments and our daily life to scientists' suggestions, such as how many glasses of water to drink, how many vitamins to eat, how many minerals to eat and how many carbohydrates to eat every day ... We are led by science, but are we healthy? Why are there more and more diseases in today's prosperous science? Why are there more and more intractable diseases? We believe in science so much that we are far away from the Tao of traditional Chinese medicine. The theory of traditional Chinese medicine contains the highest principle of life, that is, the way of life, that is, the unity of man and nature, that is, the balance of yin and yang, that is, the unity of man and nature, which is very different from the western medicine's emphasis on static and individual substances such as human organs, cells, tissues, data and bacteria.

However, many people go into the misunderstanding of physical examination, thinking that normal physical examination indicators mean health, and abnormal physical examination indicators mean illness. As we all know, the data and indicators from physical examination only represent our physical condition at that time. It is dead and still. However, life is dynamic, so is qi and blood. People are always influenced by "seven emotions" (emotion, anxiety, sadness and fear) and "six lewdness" (wind, cold, summer, humidity and fire). The physical examination results a week ago can't explain the physical condition a week later.

The Greek philosopher Heraclitus said, "One cannot step into the same river twice." So, why doesn't people's health change with time and place? ?

I have a relative who is over 70 years old, and his physical examination indicators are normal every year, even more normal than those in his forties. However, a few months ago, he fell on the road and had a cerebral hemorrhage. Now he is still lying in a coma in the hospital. There are more people who have a good physical examination in the first half of the year, but they have found tumors in the second half of the year, and the diagnosis is advanced. How many lucky people can "check, treat and recover early" as advocated by western medicine? How many people don't "check early, treat early, suffer early and die early"? In that case, why should we trust the physical examination indicators? Why should we accept all kinds of negative information and psychological hints from western medicine? Why don't you believe in our own repair function and self-healing ability?

2,500 years ago, Laozi told future generations: "People should take the earth as the foundation, the earth as the foundation, the heaven as the foundation, and the Tao as the nature." Therefore, I try my best to let my health go with the flow, free from the interference of physical examination indicators and data, and give my health to natural science and evergreen medicine-Chinese medicine, so as to "conform to nature" as much as possible and achieve the unity of man and nature. However, there are still many people who firmly believe in all kinds of so-called advanced physical examination instruments and think that these instruments are the arbiters of their own health. As everyone knows, no matter how scientific and authoritative these instruments are, they will be replaced by more advanced ones in less than 20 years, and few can survive.

So, are these medical testing methods that can't stand the test of time worthy of our trust? Moreover, the standard of physical examination is the decision of instrument manufacturers and drug manufacturers. If you have medicine, you will get sick. If there is a disease, there will be corresponding inspection instruments. Everything is a trap dug by these interest groups. You can pay and jump into the trap.

It's ridiculous to think about it. Smart China people would rather throw away our health-preserving culture that has lasted for thousands of years, throw away traditional Chinese medicine that can stand the test of time and live with the world, and do not trust their ancestors or themselves, but believe that diagnostic methods and drugs will be eliminated in ten or twenty years.

? At this time, I can't help but think of a sentence from Laozi: "My words are easy to know and easy to do. The world can't know and can't do it. " Is it because I expected that my descendants would have today's choices 2500 years ago that I would make such a sigh? ■
