Chapter 1050 Yamamoto Ichiro's Borrowed Knife
In fact, Ichiro Yamamoto really wanted to say that your traditional Chinese medicine is useless, but he couldn't say that.
Chen Yang's words left Yamamoto Ichiro speechless.
"Mr. Yamamoto just said that Country R has abandoned the core theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine and only uses the 'effective' parts..."
Chen Yang shook his head slightly, his tone thickening with regret. "This is tantamount to buying the box and returning the pearl! The essence of Chinese medicine lies precisely in its holistic view and its core theory of syndrome differentiation and treatment. Without the theoretical guidance of 'yin and yang balance', 'the generation and restraint of the five elements', and 'viscera and meridians', Chinese medicine becomes like water without a source and a tree without roots, leaving only isolated 'ingredients'."
"This is the fundamental reason why your country has made such a fool of itself with Xiao Chaihu Tang."
Chen Yang spoke slowly, but each word was powerful. "Just because modern science can't fully explain something doesn't mean it's unscientific. It just means modern science is still developing and has its own cognitive boundaries. Using tools still in development to completely negate a complete system that has been tested by thousands of years of practice is truly unscientific and arrogant."
"Professor Yamamoto, can the Kampo medicines you develop based on 'active ingredients' be used, like traditional Chinese medicine formulas, with precise and personalized additions and subtractions based on the patient's different syndromes, such as wind-cold colds or wind-heat colds? Can you explain why the same 'ingredient' combined with different herbs, such as Ma Huang Tang and Maxing Shi Gan Tang, can provide completely different therapeutic effects?"
Chen Yang's questions came one after another, like a machine gun, fired at Yamamoto Ichiro, and each question pointed directly at the logical flaws and cognitive shortcomings in his words.
Ichiro Yamamoto opened his mouth and his face turned from red to blue. He found that in the face of the other party's meticulous logic and profound knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, he could not find the right words to refute.
What he is good at is to disassemble and study Chinese medicine based on Western reductionism, but he has never truly understood the holistic philosophy and dialectical thinking of Chinese medicine.
The experts from all over the world listened with great interest, and many of them showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.
Chen Yang did not just talk about theory, but fought back with the most practical clinical problems, and the difference was immediately apparent.
"Finally, regarding Mr. Yamamoto's questioning of the 'accidental' nature of acupuncture at the Neiguan acupoint in treating ventricular fibrillation."
Chen Yang's tone became calm again, but his gaze became deeper. "I can tell you responsibly that this was no accident. It was based on the classic theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine: 'Where the meridians pass, the main treatment is reached,' and 'The heart governs the mind, and the pericardium receives pathogens on its behalf,' as well as the effective methods repeatedly verified by countless predecessors and us in clinical practice."
"Its mechanism of action may be related to regulating autonomic nervous function (cardiac sympathetic and vagus nerves) after stimulating acupoints, improving myocardial electrophysiological stability, and promoting the release of endogenous resuscitation substances."
Chen Yang leaned forward slightly, looking at Yamamoto Ichiro, whose expression was becoming increasingly grim, and delivered a fatal blow: "If Professor Yamamoto is interested in our research, I would be happy to share some preliminary research data with you after the meeting that does not involve core secrets."
"After all, scientific progress requires communication and verification, not self-satisfied...conjecture and denial."
Chen Yang said word by word, "Are you right, Professor Yamamoto?"
silence!
Deathly silence!
Chen Yang's response was well-reasoned, well-founded and well-balanced. He firmly defended the theory of traditional Chinese medicine while showing an open attitude towards modern research methods. He not only fiercely countered the other party's doubts, but also demonstrated the breadth of mind and confidence of Chinese doctors.
Especially the last sentence "speculation and denial" was a stroke of genius, which characterized Ichiro Yamamoto's doubts as irresponsible speculation and completely reversed the situation.
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
Borg was the first one who couldn't help but applaud, his face filled with excitement and appreciation.
Immediately afterwards, Professor Mueller, Professor Robert, and more and more experts around who were attracted by this wonderful debate, all gave warm applause!
This applause is a recognition of Chen Yang’s brilliant rebuttal, and it is also a tribute to the profound foundation and scientific potential demonstrated by traditional Chinese medicine!
Yamamoto Ichiro froze in place, his face turning red and white, feeling incredibly awkward and isolated amidst the enthusiastic applause. The people around him also looked embarrassed, unsure what to do.
Professor Charles touched his nose, quietly took a step back, and wisely chose not to get involved.
"Excellent discussion, Dr. Chen!"
Professor Robert sincerely praised: "You have given us a deeper and more objective understanding of Chinese medicine. I am very much looking forward to your formal report tomorrow!"
In fact, most of Robert and others didn’t understand what Chen Yang said just now.
However, Ichiro Yamamoto's reaction gave everyone the most intuitive feeling.
Yamamoto Ichiro was speechless. Doesn't this just prove that what Chen Yang said just now was right?
"Doctor Chen, I admit that we've taken some detours in the process of scientifically analyzing Chinese medicine. This is the inevitable process of science."
Yamamoto Ichiro's expression changed for a moment, but he finally calmed down a bit: "In the development of modern medicine, it is inevitable that there will be some twists and turns."
"However, after so many years of development, Chinese Traditional Medicine has been replaced by modern medicine. As far as I know, even in China, Chinese Medicine is only barely surviving. Doesn't this speak volumes?"
Chen Yang was about to retort when there was suddenly a commotion at the entrance of the cocktail party.
Everyone turned around and saw an old man in a wheelchair being pushed in, accompanied by several important people with nervous expressions.
"It's Mr. Lawrence!"
"He's coming to the party too?"
"I heard his heart disease is very serious and he can no longer undergo routine surgery..."
James Lawrence, a legendary Wall Street investment tycoon, is nearly eighty years old and has made countless donations to charity, especially in the field of medical research.
James suffers from an extremely complex coronary heart disease. Due to his age and complications, many of the world's top heart centers believe that the surgery is too risky and cannot be performed.
Yamamoto Ichiro's eyes lit up when he saw Lawrence, and he suddenly raised his voice and said, "Mr. Lawrence, you've come just in time. This Chinese doctor, Chen Yang, is said to be able to perform heart surgeries that no other doctor in the world can. Why not let him diagnose you?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Yamamoto Ichiro's move was extremely tricky. It not only pushed Chen Yang to the forefront, but also posed an almost unsolvable problem for him - if Chen Yang said that he could not cure it, it would prove that his ability was limited; if he said that he could cure it but ultimately failed, then he would be ruined.
He Yonghua's pupils shrank. It was obvious that Yamamoto Ichiro was planning to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Yang, waiting for his reaction.
Mr. Lawrence raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Chen Yang. His voice was weak but clear: "Young man, is what Professor Yamamoto said true? Do you really have a way to treat patients like me who have been sentenced to death by all experts?"
