? Innovative research methods of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine

From the difference between traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine saves lives and western medicine cures diseases; Traditional Chinese medicine carries out systematic mechanism adjustment, while western medicine is organ repair; Chinese medicine first experiences, then clinical practice, and then studies, while western medicine first has theoretical basis, then clinical practice, and then develops drugs; Chinese medicine is more macroscopic, while western medicine is more microscopic; Traditional Chinese medicine is multidimensional and holistic thinking, while western medicine is point and line thinking; Traditional Chinese medicine follows the principle of individual differences, while western medicine is universal; Traditional Chinese medicine is often compound, while western medicine pays attention to active ingredients; Internal adjustment of traditional Chinese medicine and external intervention of western medicine. Chinese medicine pays attention to step by step, while western medicine pursues quick results; Traditional Chinese medicine is applied to more people after being practiced on people, while western medicine is applied to people on the basis of animal experiments.

Chinese and western medicine should learn from each other's strengths, make continuous progress in competition and research methods, and strengthen integration from both technical and cultural aspects.

Therefore, the innovative research methods of traditional Chinese medicine are: first, the essence of inheritance is unshakable, rough and not conservative. On the path of innovation, we should break through key technologies and reform processes through thinking jumps and innovative ways, so as to invent and innovate. The second is high grafting, introduction, digestion, absorption and innovation. Traditional Chinese medicine should be integrated with other disciplines, introducing system theory and cybernetics, bioengineering, informationization, molecular biology and modern diagnostic methods, and integrating modern talents and technology to achieve the purpose of innovative methods. The third is to develop characteristic Chinese medicine products. Include that protection and secondary development of classical prescriptions, the research and development of medical device based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, and the health services provided for patient, the elderly, special groups, leisure and health care. The fourth is to build a Chinese medicine culture.

In my opinion, the progress of TCM methodology is bound to bring about a major breakthrough.
