TCM "taking" argues

Because of the traditional culture of respecting dragusan Hyun good specially the fallacies and Western scientific empirical quantitative accumulation of two phase, taking the existence or too highly superstitious or queried against even grander and abandoned. Then, we take the knowledge square is the point?

For hanging palpation of the legend, stolen thought in ancient taboo guarded is more likely to actually exist, but from the written records of widow and subsequently did not become the primary type of Chinese medicine chooses, "pull a pulse" more the individual physician in the specific circumstances of exceptional trickery as, it in academic or practice, little practical meaning.

Some people say, well known disease should be taking the medicine without patients. Stolen thought that is not correct. This is because: first, each have a different Chinese name system and defines the meaning of the name with the exception of a few such as malaria, dysentery, and so are the same name, in most cases are not directly correspond to the same concept. Such as doctors of medicine called diabetes Diabetes, diabetes and diabetes, which not only refers to the traditional Chinese medicine to vessel and accurate cut medicine disease name misunderstanding of traditional Chinese medicine. Second, taking the pulse of the State, either of the beating pulse. It can be used by a number of the pulse can be cum-pulses. Pulse of significance only reflect the organism's some, but not correspond directly to a particular disease. For example, slippery pulse, it generally reflects the phlegm, Shiji, excess heat, and pathological state, while the State has both may coexist in a person, or it may separate existence, also be separately exist in traditional Chinese medicine of various diseases. On the contrary, even if they have the same disease, but in different people may also be other pulse, slippery pulse or the normal pulse of young adults. Such as pregnant women more slippery pulse appears, but if the man or woman of slippery pulse was broken as pregnant, not ridiculous to even be in trouble. In addition, there are the ordinary Chinese medicine of the veins don't know and disease are inconsistent with the existence of so-called false pulse, so earlier had "care pulse marks from card". Now there are "no pulse (card) number of discernible", disease such as hepatitis, AIDS, etc. Differentiation of TCM is differentiation and focus on the non-differentiation, so taking the cut is the basis for differentiation, rather than specific diseases by name. Even if your level of skill and cut out patients got the abdominal pain disorders, but how can thus determine its practitioners of multiple systems in many disease specific attribution and nature?

Some patients will say: I've seen the old Chinese medicine really can accurately tell me. In fact, patients do not know: most doctors recite only the symptoms of patients and more than disease diagnosis. Of course, can not speak ill of diagnosis, sin against the taking of a number, but this is not solely due to the disease, the second is the main cause of acute and weight and prominence of concise, with a rather important inspection smelling and other means. This phenomenon cannot be taking the universality of the known disease. As regards the introduction of an online industry foreign pulse men can with pulse and accurately tell the patient's doctor of disease, for which I hold generally believe but not taken with a grain of salt. Because boundless world prodigy always exist. But I think the only measure of disease in Western medicine is services of palpation is alienation means for diagnosis of medical practitioners, in essence, no longer belong to original Chinese medicine. Especially want to highlight is taking just one diagnostic tools, and diagnostic and treatment is not the same concept, more than two levels of equivalent. It even has a disease diagnosed, or you are not a substitute for and complete the process of differentiation. As for the pulse (tongue) like for promotion, I agree. Simply cannot be made to abandon the practice and science of pulse, because the pulse for the significance of the more traditional Chinese medicine has its own.

TCM doctors rely on? on palpation should take what attitude? "should be on stolen think palpation" four diagnostic methods of analysis, as well as physician of the wisdom and experience. Wang Shu-and in the veins through, "said:" and magpie-Miao, Utah or magath, Jing-ming, should also designate-card. "Mean, even if medical technology very subtle" shooter "— and, Bian Que and Zhang in diagnosis, nor is it solely on the basis of a diagnosis, but also to mull and Pong borrow disease's symptoms and signs. Li Shizhen who was also in the coastal Lake Mai-learn, "said" world of medical treatment of the two, salty to pulse-led services. I wonder if the vessel is at the end of four diagnostic methods, that-who skillfully. On the hospital to the full, non-four diagnostic-reference is not ". Thus, taking the role is important but limited, from ancient times to the present treat mere palpation and are non-mainstream and truth of traditional Chinese medicine. But if the negative or even simply abandoned by the TCM was too far away. Zhang JianMing
