    Who's the boss curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine? Is, of course, patients have the final say, this is the premise of the survival of traditional Chinese medicine. Efficacy evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine to use their "feet" to "try" shoe, to avoid "zheng people buy the shoe" myth
 
    Recently, I saw a famous medical Wu Jieping about TCM historical data. Wu Jieping memories, was reading in Peking union medical college, has been repudiated acupuncture to treat malaria. He said: "when I say malaria is caused by a parasite, isn't acupuncture can parasite die one by one firm? Later I learned that acupuncture can improve the body's resistance, from another Angle cured disease."
 
    It is hard to understand Chinese medicine with western medicine's eyes, this is due to the differences of Chinese and western medicine treatment ideas. The west heal disease, eliminate the virus invades the body; Heal people, drugs of biased to correct the biased, which regulates the body balance. Someone with "spear" and "shield" metaphor of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine treatment concept. Western medicine treatment of external force, equivalent to make the "spear" attack; The therapy in traditional Chinese internal force, improve the body's own immune system, make a "shield" solid defense.
 
    Western medicine with the model of "war", the traditional Chinese medicine treatment adopts the model of "peace", resulting in the difference between clinical effect. Build in the 1990 s, professor invented the "cocktail therapy", AIDS patients of viral load in logarithmic level drops. Some experts optimistically estimated at that time, human conquer AIDS in five years. Drug side effects, however, is too big, at the same time they kill the AIDS virus, but also other cells in the body. The most terrible is that some viruses hidden, antiviral drugs cannot eliminate, there will be a more dangerous disease. Chinese medicine treatment of AIDS, though not uproot all evils, patient survival with "poison", doesn't accord with the current evaluation standards, but also postpone HIV to enter the period, reduce the case fatality rate, reduce the incidence of opportunistic infections and to improve the symptoms and signs.
 
    People often say: "the vital qi foot, all ills wake." The doctor of traditional Chinese medicine treatment of philosophy is the centralizer thrift. Centralizer is help the vital qi, thrift is regulating the body resistance. Vital qi is equivalent to the immune function of modern medicine, the treatment is given priority to with regulating the body upright, "a point to stay upright, there is a point to life". Vital qi weakness, can't resist the attacks that is deficient in succession, each system to treat tend to "press the gourd ladle" and let the patient. Chinese medicine said "memory of vital qi, evil cannot do", the purpose is to protect and improve the patient's immune function, the centralizer thrift, improve the quality of life, and make the patients' long-term survival with "poison".
 
    The doctor of traditional Chinese medicine can't cure-all. For traditional Chinese medicine has curative effect is the absolute principle. For thousands of years of traditional Chinese medicine by is curative effect, evaluation of curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine is a real problem. Shijiazhuang in 1956 je pandemic, mortality was 30%. PuFu weeks of traditional Chinese medicine treatment of 167 patients with je no one death. Officials said that the treatment effect of medical achievements. 167 patients with 98 prescription, the average Fang Ziyong less than two people, there is no statistical significance, the treatment of patients is case. In fact, a lot of cases, for thousands of years of traditional Chinese medicine treatment is worthy of the name "big data", but the lack of a systematic, not put these scattered pearls strung together, the curative effect of effective evidence. Therefore, using the method of evidence-based medicine to clinical research of TCM, the situation, it is imperative to improve its scientific and objective.
 
    Who's the boss curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine? Is, of course, patients have the final say, this is the premise of the survival of traditional Chinese medicine. To evaluate the effect of TCM, from the patients to evaluate their health measurement, etc. Both TCM and western medicine cure the disease, save people, ignored the feeling and experience of people who are still alive, so evaluation curative effect is the point. In healing, pay attention to "syndrome differentiation", in the process of treatment for patients with "certificate" to treatment, through the take medicine to improve the patient's symptoms, pay attention to the patient's subjective feeling, pay attention to the improvement of the quality of life in patients with. If ignored the two different ideas of treatment, with the index to evaluate the curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine, western medicine blindly emphasis on indicators of normal, a bit like forced an, is an ending, who didn't.
 
    Efficacy evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine to lose the "size" of western medicine, with their "feet" to "shoe", from "zheng people buy the shoe" error. Change the situation of lagging effect assessment of TCM, to establish the evaluation index system in conformity with the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine. Curative effect depends on the whole to raise the level of diagnosis and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine of traditional Chinese medicine to solve modern medicine cannot solve the mysterious illness, play its unique advantages for the benefit of humanity.
