Subtitle of this chapter: We Cialis are all little angels of peace

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yuan. I still don't understand what you mean."

After listening to Master Yuan’s “scientific argument”, the four of them thought about it for a long time, but finally Theodore Edison asked.

Yuan Yan suddenly sighed and said, "Okay, Mr. Edison. Please allow me to make an inappropriate example..."

"There are several chicken farms of the same size. One of them is called Europa, and the other one is called Cyris, which can only ensure that their chickens cannot starve to death. But the number of chickens raised by these two families is almost the same. What does this mean?"

He asked and answered, "This only means that the chicken farm of Cyris has a higher chicken craft."

Well, this statement is actually not without problems, but as long as it sounds logically self-consistent.

Unfortunately, Thomas Edison, a great scientist, is not so easy to get involved in this statement. He directly retorted: "Mr. Yuan, the population is affected by many factors, and medicine is just one of them. The large number of Chinese people cannot prove that you Chinese medicine is even more brilliant..."

"And I have to point out that although Mr. Yuan, you recovered so quickly, this is not necessarily the credit of Chinese medicinal wine. Maybe it is because of other unknown factors?"

Our Master Yuan sighed in his heart. Scientists are indeed not that easy to fool. Moreover, history, or rather, the development of medicine, has not left much time for traditional Chinese medicine. It seems that it is not OK if I don’t move more seriously.

Why do I say that Chinese medicine has not had much time?

Because the Western medical community in the 1920s had already taken off its blindfold and superstitious eye mask and saw the dawn of modern medicine.

Until the mid-19th century, Chinese medicine was anatomically slightly behind Western medicine, and its efficacy and theory were not much worse than Western medicine.

The medical theory adopted by the Western medical community at that time was the four-body fluid theory proposed by Hippocrates in the fourth century BC and Galen in the second century AD. This theory believed that the human body contains four different liquids, namely blood, mucus, yellow bile and black bile. They are produced in the heart (blood), brain (mucus), liver (yellow bile) and stomach (black bile).

Hippocrates believed that the four types of body fluids form the properties of the human body, and the condition of the body depends on the correct cooperation of the four types of fluids.

How could these four body fluids be more so than our theory of Yin and Yang and Five Elements?

Moreover, according to this theory, the treatment methods adopted by Western medicine are even more creepy, such as bloodletting, leeches, air pumping tanks, laxatives and arsenic saunas (specially for treating Gaul disease), etc., which can adjust the ratio of "body fluids". It is really not as good as the acupuncture massage and herbs of the Cyris people.

However, with the development of Western science, the cytopathic theory proposed by the German medical scientist Rudolph Ludwig Karl Firsau (1821-1902) replaced the four bodily fluid theory decades ago.

By the way, this lord is also a famous paleoanthropologist, archaeologist and politician. The Philsau Prize, known as the "Nobel Prize in Medicine", is named after him.

After that, the pathogenicity of bacteria and viruses was also accepted by the Western medical community. Clinical pathology gradually developed.

In other words, the theory of Western medicine overdosed modern medicine has been complete, and what is now missing is... antibiotics.

Without sulfonamide and penicillin, theory is still theory, and death is still death. For example, the Western medical community has already figured out the pathogenic mechanism of sepsis at this time, but they can only let the patient resist it by themselves. For example, the coliform tuberculosis was discovered as early as 1882, but more than 40 years later, tuberculosis is still incurable. There is no other way except to use Afurong products to relieve the patient's pain.

Even as a time traveler, our Master Yuan cannot stop the general trend of history and prevent antibiotics from appearing. However, he can take advantage of the emergence of antibiotics to make traditional Chinese medicine a high-end, atmospheric and high-end alternative therapy.

He sighed leisurely and said, "It seems that Mr. Edison has a misunderstanding of our traditional Chinese medicine...well, it should be said that medicine is still a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?" The great inventor was stunned when he heard this. He was also a scientist with status and status. His temperament was to be positive and to insist on his own opinion, and to his arms, that was to be stubborn.

So he said in a very unhappy tone, "Mr. Yuan, what am I wrong?"

Yuan Yan replied without any fear: "Mr. Edison, I have to say that you Westerners' philosophy of life is too... Well, it's too aggressive and too aggressive!"

"veni,vedi,vici." He continued after showing a famous Latin quote, "Just as Emperor Caesar said, you must conquer the new world when you see the new world, you must conquer the pagans when you see the pagans, you must conquer nature when you see nature, and you must conquer disease when you see the disease..."

To be honest, we Chinese really have less aggressive. No wonder the one who said, "Fighting with the three talents of heaven, earth and man is really a pleasure to death."

Since that's the case, I'll package the Chinese people of this era as little angels of peace.

So Master Yuan said earnestly: "We Chinese are different. We pursue harmony in everything we do. We talk about harmony in our affairs, governing the country and the family, and we also talk about harmony in food, clothing, housing and transportation. Even typing...well, art forms such as calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing, gardens, etc. pay attention to harmony."

He raised his wine glass and said, "For example, drinking bars. We Chinese only drink wine in spring, that is, light sweet wine. Because spring is the time when all things grow and the season when the liver is most fragile, we should consume less alcohol and eat more sweets."

"In summer, you should drink fruit wine with all kinds of fruits, which can supplement vitamins and adapt to the hot climate. It is best to eat some more... that lamb."

Yuan Yanshu said in his heart, it’s a pity that you foreigners “know” what it means, “get out of dog meat and get out of the way, and the gods can’t stand firmly.”

"In autumn, rice wine made from glutinous rice is the most suitable with crabs, it is rich in nutrients and very delicious."

"In winter, you can drink some strong alcohol with a high degree of salt, and then have a hot pot... The hot pot of our Chinese is similar to butter hot pot, but they don't use butter and broth. This not only protects against the cold, but also promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis, allowing people to survive the cold winter. So..."

"So..." Thomas Edison suddenly said: "You Easterners have wasted all their time on such things, which is why they are so much behind us Westerners!"
