Accompanying Chen Beiyang, the retired deputy director of the Judicial Department of Hubei Province, to treat new crown pneumonia through traditional Chinese medicine and refuse to quarantine for medical treatment. Li Yuehua, who cured Chen Beiyang, became a "net red".

Since the outbreak, various ancestral secret recipes and "sacred doctors" have been hitchhiking constantly, disturbing the public's sight and leaving traditional Chinese medicine in question. Many experts believe that at the time when the traditional Chinese and western medicine's coordinated fight against the "epidemic" has begun to bear fruit, traditional Chinese medicine should not be blamed for illegal practitioners.

Chinese medicine has a threshold

Li Yuehua claims to cure 9 patients with new coronary pneumonia by acupoint injection. The "fifths per million phenol" injection he used was cheap and effective. Subsequently, some self-media said: "Why not try such a low-cost and effective method" "There must be a reason why it has not been adopted."

However, recently, an investigation report released by the Comprehensive Supervision Bureau of the Hubei Provincial Health and Family Planning Commission pointed out that Li Yuehua had various illegal acts such as suspected forgery, alteration, buying and selling of doctor's licenses, false publicity, and illegal medical practice during the epidemic.

According to reports, the injections used by Li Yuehua not only have not been licensed, but also a high-risk toxic chemical. Several of the so-called "cured" patients he provided were still being treated in hospitals. Li Yuehua, who claims to have been injected with "magic drugs", does not need to protect herself and never wears a mask, because patients who have been diagnosed in close contact have also been concentrated and isolated.

Jiang Min, chief physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Beijing Shijitan Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, said in an interview with the China News Agency that injection therapy is not a new method, but whether it is an injection of traditional Chinese medicine preparations or western medicine, there are relevant diagnostic specifications.

Zhuo Jiatong, chief physician of the Guangxi Center for Disease Control and Prevention, told China News Agency that China now strongly supports the development of traditional Chinese medicine, and also allows people with expertise in certain areas to practice medicine, but they need to pass an assessment to obtain the corresponding qualifications. Although it is not ruled out that individual prescriptions have cured individual cases, it may be accidental, which does not represent the non-scientific nature of Chinese medicine, and it cannot make Chinese medicine mysterious.

Just as western medicine is effective for a certain disease, there must be experimental comparison and "double-blind" testing. Traditional Chinese medicine also talks about clinical effects, and the right medicine must go through clinical experiments. At present, there are three or four thousand Chinese medicine practitioners fighting in Wuhan. Through clinical diagnosis and treatment, they have accumulated valuable medication experience little by little.

TCM's anti-epidemic effect is remarkable

The role of Chinese medicine in the treatment of new coronary pneumonia is obvious to all. The "New Coronary Virus Infected Pneumonia Diagnosis and Treatment Program (Trial Version 3)" has been added to the Chinese medicine law. Since then, with the increase of clinical experience, it has become more and more refined. In the latest sixth edition of the diagnosis and treatment plan, the prescription has been recommended in stages according to different situations, and it is more and more operable.

Jiang Min said that Chinese medicine has indeed played a very good role in the prevention and control of the epidemic, and designated hospitals in various provinces have widely used traditional Chinese medicine in treating cases. Traditional Chinese medicine is not limited to light and common types, but can also be used in severe and critical cases. Relevant autopsy and reports also show that some very sticky sputum does not come out, and Chinese medicine may work better.

The "Consensus for Comprehensive Coronary Virus Treatment in Shanghai 2019" released on the 2nd specifically describes the integrated treatment plan of traditional Chinese and western medicine. It was mentioned that for heavy patients, if the fever persists, even high fever, bloating, and dry and closed stools, the administration of Chinese medicine can reduce the fever or heat regression, cut off the disease, and reduce the occurrence of severe to critical illness.

Historically, before the introduction of western medicine, Chinese medicine has always played an important role in the prevention and treatment of epidemics. From Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatment of Febrile Diseases" to "Men disease" in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, all originated from the summary of the epidemic situation by Chinese medicine. In traditional Chinese medicine, new crown pneumonia is a respiratory and infectious disease that is mainly wet and poisonous. Therefore, in this epidemic, Chinese medicine put Qingfei detoxifying soup first, which is used to remove dampness and detoxify.

There is currently no specific medicine specifically for the treatment of new coronary pneumonia, which does not mean that Chinese medicine has done nothing. Jiang Min said that there is no specific medicine for traditional Chinese medicine, but it can be more than 90% effective in the treatment of some mild patients. I believe that traditional Chinese medicine will play a role in the rehabilitation of many people in the future.

Fighting the "epidemic" kicks off a new phase of collaboration between Chinese and Western medicine

The integration of traditional Chinese and western medicine has been a topic often talked about by older students in recent years, but in the past few decades, traditional Chinese medicine has gradually become a supporting role. "There are many reasons here. First of all, our inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine is not very well done." Jiang Min admitted that in fact, everyone also saw this time that traditional Chinese medicine is not "Slow Langzhong". There are some fever diseases, and the effect of traditional Chinese medicine is very fast. .

"Now we promote the synergy between China and the West. Whether it is Western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine, the purpose is to be healthy, to cure the disease, and to save people, but the methods and methods are different. In the process of disease prevention, everyone will work together to solve the problem. The effect of adding 1 is greater than 2. "Jiang Min said.

Zhuo Jiatong said that Chinese medicine is a great treasure trove of China, and especially in times of scarce medical resources, Chinese medicine has played an important role. But how to strictly manage Chinese medicine in the new era is indeed a difficult problem. It is hoped that this epidemic will be an opportunity for the coordinated development of traditional Chinese and Western medicine to embark on the fast track.

"Compared with the division of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine, in fact, I would prefer to call it traditional medicine and modern medicine. Modern medicine knows the cause, and traditional medicine exercises enhance our ability to fight." An You, director of the Department of Critical Medicine, People's Hospital of Peking University Zhong believes that to be a good doctor, you must have both the traditional medical concept and the various means of modern medicine. Don't split the tradition and enrich it with new scientific technology and knowledge concepts. (Finish)
