Western Medicine as seen today has a strong scientific basis in its
development. The pathogenesis of most diseases and their
symptomatology and physical signs are well studied and understood.
The management of patients is based on firm understanding of these
disease processes. In contrast, Traditional Chinese Medicine came
about through the experience of many generations of practitioners
over thousands of years. Undoubtedly, many of these treatments have
proved to be effective in their own way, however, firm scientific
basis is still lacking.
While most Western Medicine advocates control of disease by
eradication of pathogens and surgical removal of diseased organs as
in the case of cancer, Traditional Chinese Medicine seeks to
improve resistance against disease. There is probably a great
wealth of therapeutic value in Traditional Chinese Medicine, which
has not been discovered or explored fully. By combining the
knowledge of both Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine, one
might be able to improve the results of efficacy of treatments and
the survival of patients. The integration of Medicine from East and
West will take time to evolve and will need interested physicians
from different parts of the world to work closely together to
realize such a possibility.
This book is an attempt to bridge the medical world of two great
and ancient civilizations in their approach to the treatment of
disease. It is informative with a detailed account of the history
of medical development. It is highly recommended for those medical
practitioners from both East and West who are interested to explore
alternative medicine and research new areas of the medical
frontier.
