Which work for you better? Traditional Chinese Medicine or Western medical treatment?

Question:

Answers:
It depends almost entirely on what your problem is. Most asian medicine tries to prevent illness and, if illness happens anyway, they take a holistic non-combative approach to dealing with it. Meditation, herbs, acupuncture, manipulation of chi---these are the hallmarks of asian medicine and they work well for a lot of chronic things ythat western medicine really hasn't figured out yet.

But---if I had a life threatening infection, get me a western antibiotic--stat! Or a rapidly growing tumor. Or an organ diseased beyong saving and needing surgery.

It is a generalization, but the more critical and life threatening the illness, the more I would tend to move towards western medicine; the more long term, chronic, preventive, wellness oriented the problem.asian.

try both and then tell me which one cures you!

Traditional Chinese Medicine. For my personal situation.

Due to my liver. And liver is suppose to be the organ to dissolve chemicals, which include medicine. Hence, Western medicine, for me, is too strong and would make my situation worse.

There's a guy on here with a Master's from MIT.? Sheesh. I have as much right to opine here as a rabbit. i think i would go for both. combining the two together would be my best option if possible.. some western medicine only work on the outside whilst some eastern ones work to cover which the western one have missed.

There is a place for each kind of medicine - this is very well known in China, and other places where both "scientific" and "traditional" medicine are practiced together. It depends on the problem or illness. Any traditional healer, however strict, will accept orthpedic surgery for a displaced fracture; he then might depend on herbs and meditation to control pain and heal the wound more quickly.
