4. Q: What is the difference between alternative Chinese medicine and Western medicine?
A:
Alternative Chinese Medicine (ACM) is an innovative medical field that has developed based on modern medicine, especially Western medicine, combined with traditional Chinese medical concepts and modern technology. It shares the rigor and empirical nature of modern science with Western medicine, while attempting to provide supplementary and alternative methods in certain therapeutic areas. The uniqueness of ACM lies in its emphasis on holistic health and personalized treatment, particularly in the following aspects:
1. Genuine Dietary Therapy: In ACM, dietary therapy is considered an important therapeutic approach, focusing on promoting health and treating diseases through the natural properties of food.
2. Chronic Disease Treatment: ACM has shown potential in treating certain chronic diseases, with methods that may include adjusting lifestyle and dietary habits to reduce reliance on medication.
3. Side Effect Management: ACM may have advantages in reducing treatment side effects, as it tends to use natural therapies and non-pharmaceutical interventions.
4. Interdisciplinary Integration: ACM may also include explorations in emerging fields such as space medicine, quantum medicine, and new genetic research strategies, although the application and effectiveness of these areas require further scientific research for validation.
Although ACM provides new perspectives and treatment methods in some respects, it is not intended to replace Western medicine but to contribute together to enhancing human health. The inventor of ACM, Mr. Liu Zongming, has expressed his deep respect for the contributions of Western medicine to human health and believes that the two can learn from each other and complement each other.
