Traditional Chinese medicine (also known as TCM, simplified Chinese: 中医; traditional Chinese: 中医; pinyin: zhōngyī) includes a range of traditional medical practices originating in China. It is considered a Complementary or Alternative Medical system in much of the western world while remaining as a form of primary care throughout most of Asia.

TCM practices include treatments such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, dietary therapy, Tui na and Shiatsu massage; often Qigong and Taiji are also strongly affiliated with TCM.

TCM theory is extremely complex and originated thousands of years ago through meticulous observation of nature, the cosmos, and the human body. Major theories include those of Yin-yang, the Five Phases, the human body Channel system, Zang Fu organ theory, six confirmations, four layers, etc.

Ⅶ 中医的介绍 英文

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), is a label that covers a broad range of traditional medicine practices spread throughout Asia, including various forms of herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage therapy, and dietary therapy. The common thread among these diverse practices is a system for balancing the various functions of the body, based in Daoist principles of yinyang and other metaphysical belief systems, that originated ring the Warring States Period in regions that are now part of China. These practices are a common part of medical care throughout East Asia, accounting for roughly 75% of worldwide use, but are considered alternative medicine in the western world.
TCM practices use a different physiological model than modern western medicine, and make a number of assumptions that are inconsistent with or untestable under the principles of scientific medicine. In general, TCM practices take a holistic approach, viewing the body in terms of organ system based loosely around particular body functions (such as digestion or excretion) rather than in terms of isolated organs. These organ systems are conceived to be interrelated in various systematic ways, and various techniques are used to stimulate or support weakened systems or to soothe or dampen over-excited systems. Chinese medicine in practice, thus, involves an often subjective diagnosis of the general state of various organ systems followed by ongoing efforts to reestablish a healthy balance between the systems.
A broad range of 'over-the-counter' medicinals loosely related to TCM are available. Many of these - such as yinchiao, a commonly used medicinal for colds and flus - are innocuous, but some may contain dangerous chemicals added as ingredients or byprocts of proction, and certain sexual potency medicinals are complicit in the near extinction of animals such as the rhinoceros and siberian tiger.
Because of the different disease entities recognized by TCM and scientific medicine, it is difficult to scientifically test the efficacy of TCM drugs. Other treatment practices have confirmed but limited results in clinical studies.

Ⅷ 请推荐一篇关于中医疗法的文章，要中英文的。

中医治癌症 扶正祛邪 带瘤生存

中医治癌古代已有记载，医术背后的理念，既有中国传统价值观──中庸之道，同时要学会疾病管理，实践“和平共处”的“相处”之道。
现代人谈“癌”色变，但癌症并不是现代才出现，早在宋代南轩居士所著的《卫济宝书》（1171年）中，就已经记载了“癌”这个病名及医治方法，而二千多年前《黄帝内经》所记述的“肠覃”、“石瘕”，及《难经》中的“积聚”，说的也都是肿瘤。

香港中医癌症、疑难杂症研究所的创办人周礼中医师，出身于中医世家，自70年代至今，潜心研究癌症等疑难杂症40年，并采用中医药的祖传秘方进行临床治疗。

调整“七情”很重要

“一个人得了疾病，一定是和他的精神状态、生活方式等很多原因相关联的。”周医师说，“中医讲内因再结合外因，才有可能产生疾病。内因就是喜、怒、忧、思、悲、恐、惊，中医叫‘内伤七情’，外部因素有风、寒、暑、湿、燥、火，叫‘外感六淫’，包括现代的生物（如细菌�9�0病毒�9�0寄生虫）、化学、物理等多种致病因素，是一个广义的概念。”

中医常说的“喜伤心、怒伤肝、忧伤肺、思伤脾、恐伤肾”，指的就是情绪失调会直接损害内在脏腑。“比如，我们发现肝癌病人在确诊之前的很长一段时间内，都曾经出现很严重的忧郁情绪，还有女性的乳腺肿瘤也是和肝经（情绪）有关。”

人的精神状态能影响五脏六腑的功能，进而影响一个人的免疫系统功能。《黄帝内经》所云：“邪之所凑，其气必虚”，人的正气如果不足，外邪就会侵入。“癌症产生的原因复杂，涉及多学科，但已有研究证明，免疫功能下降，而产生细胞基因突变，也就是正气因病变而受到破坏。”周医师说，“多数情况都是年老体弱的人容易患癌。现在年纪轻的也有，可能和幅射�9�0滥用药物�9�0空气污染、食物化学毒素、精神压力等因素有关。”

周医师认为，有的人得了癌症之后，情绪很紧张、很恐惧，吃不下饭，睡不着觉，会使本来就混乱的免疫功能受到进一步破坏，导致病人很快死亡，“人的七情不但没有调整好，反而雪上加霜，使病情更加恶化。”

八成病人被医死吓死

据《黄帝内经》所述：“大积大聚不可犯也，衰其大半而止，过则死，此治积聚之法也。”“中医治疗肿瘤（古时称为症瘕�9�0积聚等）主张把它消下去大半即可，过多地消灭它，就有可能两败俱伤，正、邪同归于尽。”周医师解释说。

“自古到今，中医提倡‘带瘤生存’，就是人和肿瘤并存。”这种与肿瘤共存，并抑制它发展的桥告中医理论，体现了中国古人的哲学思想。

有一个病人，98年确诊胰腺癌一直到最近才过世，前后一共存活了13年，其间一直采用中药治疗，“每个礼拜吃几盏（中药），07年到今年他的肿瘤只大了一公分。”周医师介绍说，这个癌症病人可以返工，可以到国外旅行，生活质量几乎和正常人没有分别，这在目前医学界也属罕见。

不过，这种从一开始就来看中医的癌症病人比较少，“大多数情况都是西医不能做手术（比如肿瘤太大了），或是西医手术�9�0化疗、电疗后又复发，到了晚期的晚期，才来看中医。”即使这样，周医师医治的这类癌症病人也有不少个案能存活几年。

周医师经过几十年临床研究发现，“百分之八十的癌症病人是被医死或吓死的。”许多人接受手术�9�0化疗和放疗之后，人体本身的正气更加虚弱，自我修复能力受到破坏，再加上有些病人了解到自己的病情，情绪变得悲观，又会加重病情。任何人不能离正气以生存，任何医学也不能舍正气以救人，医学之为用，应是辅助正气以调节病变，顺正气者生，逆正气者死，是自古治疗的大法。

人有求生的本能，周医师强调“不要忽视人体伏消模强大的自我修复能力”。实际上，世界医学研究也发现，有百分之一的癌症病人是可以不治而愈的。在医治的过程中，他也主张通缺缓过“话疗”，激发病人体内在生存的动力。

免疫功能不可过强

有人认为，人体的免疫功能应该越强越好，周医师说，这是一种错误认识：“人类绝大多数的疾病都是免疫反应异常（自身抗体的滴度增高），像糖尿病、皮肌炎、牛皮癣、内风湿性关节炎、甲亢、红斑狼疮等还无法医治的疑难杂症，都属于这类自身免疫病，爱滋病和癌症属于免疫功能降低。”正确的说法应该是调整免疫功能，而不是所谓的提高免疫力。

“治病就是要调整身体的平衡，什么医学都不能走极端，医治癌症如采用正邪通杀的破坏性治疗，攻其邪，则邪气去而正气亦脱，正邪同归于尽。”周医师说，中医讲究调整阴阳平衡，先治主要的症候，恢复生理常态，待正气充足，也就是免疫功能调节回复正常，疾病必能自然消失。

Managing Cancer with Chinese Medicine Principles

Cancer treatments were documented in ancient times. The principles behind traditional Chinese medicine encompass both the traditional Chinese value of moderation when treating illnesses and the practice of coexistence.

Dr. Zhou Lizhong, founder of the Hong Kong Institute of Chinese medicine, was born into a family of Chinese medicine practitioners. Since the 1970s, he has painstakingly researched cancer and other incurable diseases over the past 40 years. He applies traditional remedies in his clinical treatments.

“Contracting a disease is related to a person’s mental state, lifestyle, and many other issues,” Dr. Zhou said. “Chinese medicine links disease to both internal and external elements. The internal elements are joy, anger, worry, obsession, sorrow, fear, and terror, which in Chinese medicine are called the ‘seven internal emotional damages.’

“The external factors are the wind, cold, heat, wetness, dryness, and fire, known as the ‘six exogenous elements,’ including modern pathogens [such as] bacteria, viruses, and parasites, plus chemistry, physics, and other risk factors.”

Traditional Chinese medical physicians often say: “Joy damages the heart, anger damages the liver, sorrow damages the lungs, anxiety damages the spleen, and fear damages the kidneys.” They are referring to how emotional disorders directly damage the internal organs.

Dr. Zhou said, “A person’s mental state can affect the function of his internal organs, thereby affecting the person’s immune system.”

The “Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon” says: “Qi must be exhausted before evil forces can gather.” Dr. Zhou explains: “If a person lacks righteousness, evil forces will invade. Causes for cancer are complex and involve multiple areas, but studies have shown decreased immune function leading to the mutation of genes.

“Mutation results from disease and damaged ‘righteousness essence.’ Elderly and frail people tend to become victims of cancer. Right now, young people also can suffer from that ailment. It probably relates to radiation, drug abuse, air pollution, chemical toxins from food, stress, and other factors,” he said.

Dr. Zhou believes that once some people are diagnosed with cancer, they become very nervous and fearful; they cannot eat or sleep, and thus their immune systems become worse and cause them to die. When a person’s seven emotions are unbalanced, their conditions are further aggravated.

The majority of patients die from treatments rather than diseases. According to the “Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon,” one should not overly accumulate or eradicate something. One should stop after the majority of it has been removed, otherwise, one would suffer.”

“In Chinese medicine, when treating a tumor, the goal is to eliminate more than half of it,” Dr. Zhou explained. “Overdoing it would result in damaging both positive and evil forces in the body, and both may perish in the end.

“From ancient times to the present, Chinese medicine has advocated ‘coexistence’ with tumors. It means living with a tumor and suppressing its development. This principle exemplifies ancient Chinese philosophy,” he said.

Dr. Zhou gave the example of a patient who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 1998 but only died recently. He lived for 13 years with the cancer, which is incredibly rare.

His only treatment for the cancer was taking Chinese medicine a few times every week. From 2007 until 2011, his tumor increased by 1 centimeter. The patient was able to work and travel like a healthy, normal person. This is rare in today’s medical field.

Although traditional Chinese medicine has a long history of successfully treating cancer, very few patients come to see traditional Chinese physicians at the onset of their cancer. Usually they come after surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation, and wait until the cancer has reached a quite advanced stage.

After several decades of clinical study, Dr. Zhou came to these conclusions: “Eighty percent of cancer patients’ death resulted from the treatment or from fear. Many patients were weakened, with their self-healing ability diminished after surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. They became depressed, thus aggravating their conditions.

“No one can survive without his or her own righteous energy, and no medical miracles can happen without righteous energy. Medical care is used to supplement righteous energy and regulate their conditions. With righteous energy, one will live; otherwise, one will die. And that is the great principle of [traditional] Chinese medical treatment from ancient times.”

Dr. Zhou stressed that people have the instinct to live. Therefore, we should never overlook the self-healing power within our bodies. In fact, the worlds’ medical research has also found that 1 percent of cancer patients can heal themselves without treatment. In the healing process, he advocates “talk therapy” to stimulate the living power in a patient’s body.

Too strong an immune function is not necessarily better for us. Some people think that the stronger the immune function, the better it will be for them. Dr. Zhou says: “That is a misconception. Many of our human diseases result from abnormal reactions from our immune system, such as diabetes, dermatomyositis, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, hyperthyroidism lupus, and the like.

“Those conditions are difficult to cure, and they are all from increased immune function. AIDS and cancer come from decreased immune function, rather than so-called improved immunity.

“Medical treatment is an adjustment to the equilibrium of the body. However, medicine cannot go to extremes. When the treatment of cancer is done through the use of methods that are destructive to both good and bad forces, in the end, everything perishes.

“Chinese medicine emphasizes the balance of yin and yang. Treat the main symptoms first and then restore the normal physiological condition. When the righteous energy is sufficient, the immune system will regain its normal function, and then the disease will disappear naturally.”
