Guest guest Posted November 5, 2001 Report Share Posted November 5, 2001 Dear group,especially for Alon, I assume that every one of you all known modern scientific research methods very well. In scientific research,the first steps is define variables,set independent variables and dependent variables.Make hypothesis,prove factors/(indenpendent )variables causes/or the correlation of results(dependent variables),and some others. Therefore, 1.one single variable cause one result. 2.Ten independent variables may/may not gather into factors and affect the results in many ways. 3.Each single independent variable of ten variables changed,the final results also changed,too. 4.One single herbal formula(if you treat it as a variable) cause one treatment effect. A. An extremely excellent TCM doctor who create herbal formula for each patient.Each single person use one single herbal formula he create and he will adjust the herbal formula according to the patient's need,add some herbs or delete some.Sometimes,One single herbal the doctor changed,the patient got dramatic develop for the disease and get well immediately. If he is excellent enough,each patient has own herbal formula and personal adjust by the doctor. If you request every herbal formula should have scientific evidence,how many variables the doctor have to do research for the scientific evidences. B.most new doctor use ancient TCM master's formula to be a standard to cure patient.He might use it to be a basic standrad and add some/delete some herbs according to the need of the patient.How could he add/delete the standardize herbal formula such as lio-wei-di-houng-wen and others. C.sometimes,the doctor combind three or four herbal formula in to one formula or combined partial herbal of those(three or four)herbal formula into one formula. How could he turn the pill or mixed powder into seprate herbs. d.while we cooked raw herbal formula,we need hor-ho(the fire degree).(Japan scientific researcher had been check the effect of charcoal fire,the result was the charcoal fire the greatest fire while you do BBQ). according to my experience,If your herbal formula is effect for the petient,while you cooked the raw herbal formula and the formula is cooked in just fine condition,the smell you have from the pot will make patient feel comfortable. There are some herbs need to cook first;some herbs need to wait until the cook almot complete.How cloud standardize formula reach that goal. e.Concoct:some herbs have to concoct before use.Sometimes,ginger need to stired fry in soil,stir fry with wine,or turn it into charcoal...it all rely on the concoct according to the patient's conditions. f.how many understand in western about the single herb's effect and the combined herbal formula chemical effect if you didn't follow the ancient TCM approaches. g.the technology to turn herbal drink into pills or powder still can't in 100 % good. 7.someothers I didn't mentioned. I am not deny all the function of western approach ..Those question above should have new ideas to solve the problem in the not far future. I hope those western pharmacy experts should pay more attention on how tradition chinese medicine approach make herbal formula,as close as possible, Not in western approach to make TCM herbal powder or pill. Standardize herbal formula will limited the flexible of TCM.Western should figure out the solution methods in TCM approcah,not in western approach. Therefore ,I would like to invide the western experts to get the whole pictures of TCM,after that, create the real TCM herbal formula powder or pill in western approach. If western ignore the primary step while do TCM pharmacy, may I say as Alon's thinking process, You are not objective.You miss too many detail of varibles changed while you do scientific evidences.
