Modern people attach importance to health and the pursuit of health, but when it comes to health care, the first idea that pops into people’s heads is often to take more vitamins and health supplements, beware! If you also have this concept can be very wrong. Chinese medicine doctor Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee reminded that modern medicine advocates “more supplements more health” is not necessarily correct, the best way to maintain health “follow the natural way”.
Both Chinese and Western medicine agree on the need for disease prevention, but what should be done? Eastern and Western medicine are very different from the viewpoint to the way of doing things. Dr. Li Shenpu, a Chinese medicine doctor, believes that the concept of “man will prevail the nature” in Western medicine is not necessarily correct, and so far in the development of modern medicine, Western medicine has been pursuing the study of the truth of human tissues and organs, and pursuing the understanding of diseases from cells and components. But this kind of pursuit can easily fall into the dilemma of “knowing the result of disease, but not the cause of the result”.
For example, through scientific research, Western medicine can accurately diagnose a disease, but knowing that a person is sick, but not understanding why that person is sick? Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee took Parkinson’s disease as an example. Western doctors can tell us where the nerves and tissues in the body are damaged, but they cannot understand why these damages are caused. Depression is the same. Western doctors can only tell us that there is a hormonal problem, but they cannot tell us the cause of the problem.
As for Chinese medicine, it adopts a more esoteric approach in pursuing the truth of the human body in the eyes of the general people, emphasizing the so-called “Qi gasification” theory. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee does not hide the fact that the general public is always “hard to understand”, but in fact, it implies the philosophical theory that Chinese medicine respects the nature of sky and earth.
Chinese medicine believes that if there is no secret, there is no life. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee explained that Chinese medicine respects the body’s self-regulatory system and believes that the body’s greatest secret lies in the autonomic nervous system. Unlike the operation of the human organism in general, the operation of the autonomic nervous system is unimaginable in Chinese medicine, how do the cells pass on to the next generation? Why do diseases occur? Why is it that depression can be controlled but not changed? These are the mysteries of the autonomic nervous system.
Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee said that people who normally consume too much energy in their bodies will have a weak autonomic nervous system and will naturally suffer from a variety of diseases. No matter it is Chinese or Western medicine, doctors can not presume to replace God. The way to health care is not about how much medicine or supplements you take, but should follow nature.
Lao Tzu’s “Great Wisdom is like Foolishness” is exactly the way of health care that Chinese medicine advocates. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee emphasized that a wise person should understand that he should appropriately protect the natural functions of the body given by the sky and earth, instead of trying to completely conquer and control them with external forces, otherwise it will only be counterproductive.
