Recover Mental Disorders by Traditional Chinese Medicine
Frank Li, June 9, 2007
Note: This was an article in 19 years ago, by the medical studies world widely as of 2007, if we Google online today, will be great more, great useful and greatly applicable. Please Google to doctor for your families and yourself, rather than mindlessly being harmed by western medicine supporting reckless people.
In this Blog there are many articles in talking about cure diseases by dietary supplements with the hope helping people self help in diseases treatment, to get rid of western medicne provided evil tools for greed by kicking away the cheaper available remedies to profit ineffective expensive drugs and vaccines with side effect killing people, under evil inhuman deceptive theories that make people obsessed as that of psychosis, alcoholics, and gamblers, as that of the kind of behaviors, they are impossible to extricate suffering from it.
We must view problems in philosophical basis; then complex problem will be simplified easy to solve.
Philosophy Daoism (500BC) dialectic views universe as a system of unity of opposites in composed of subsystems of unity of opposites; views human body as one of the subsystems; by Yin-Yang represents the two sides. Dao embodies the harmony of the unity of opposites by regulating Yin-Yang balance.
Ancient Daoism conforms to the object reality in modern science. In the objective world; from the atomic nuclei and electron clouds that make up atoms to the sun and planets that make up the solar system, and in subjective world; from the two sides of the contradiction; they are all in the unity of opposites.
Traditional Chinese medicine-TCM develops by taking the principle and terminologies of Daoism in viewing body as emotional life by natural therapies and compound medication restoring Yin-Yang balance as treatment. It believed that the disease treatment is seven-tenths in psychotherapy, only three-tenths is in medical treatment.
Since the birth of mammals, it is immune cells releasing HOCl functioning immunity. 2019, article Disinfect the Natural Way indicates that human immunity is by immune cells releasing HOCl kills viruses & pathogens.
2020, Australia reports that a COVID-19 sufferer self-recovered after the increase of immune cells in blood; the increased immune cells kept the level for 7 days after the full recovered; which was same as that of common flu.
So, whether it is giving drug or oxygen, it is to restore Yin-Yang Balance with immune cells to release HOCl.
Philosophy Reductionism suggests complex systems can be understood by breaking them into simple parts.
Western medicine takes Reductionism as guidance in viewing human body as lifeless assembly by subdividing body into basic units as micro as Protein, Amino Acids, DNA, etc., study the development of diseases, by looking for killing and genetic patching as treatment; without concept that psychological factors in decisively affecting disease development.
However, 2008 article Report: Stress Causes Everything reports a research crossing the disciplines of psychology, medicine, neuroscience, and genetics, reveals that stress, to put it bluntly, is bad for you. Stress causes deterioration of human body in everything from gums to heart and can make more susceptible to everything from the common cold to cancer.
Human body is complex organic system in dynamic developing under the impact of unknown or known but uncontrollable factors; so that it must be regarded as Chaotic System to deal with by Chaos Theory, in this concern, the macro dialectic philosophy Daoism guided TCM is suitable for human life; while the micro precision seeking philosophy Reductionism guided Western medicine is opposite; this is the reason that western medicine coined incurable diseases or chronic diseases.
I am never denying the great contributions of Western medicine in saving human lives. But, in terms of drug treatment, it has been in playing wrongful role in large scale killing people.
People will never believe that Western medicine has been massively killing people by batch training good kids as evil killers by double blind clinic trial testing in single ingratiate to kick away the most effective one in multiple ingratiates.
1955, it found that placebo effect achieved 50-60% cure rate; and then it sadly found that the effect of many synthetic drugs are even lower than that of placebo did with side effect, Western medicine has to take double-blind clinical trial testing in single ingredient to prove drug effective than that of placebo did, in this process, it has been in kicking away the most effective drugs in multi-ingredients; such as, a herb may contain dozens of ingredients.
Even if it has passed strictly proving of double-blind clinical trial, the synthetic drugs of Western medicine have been playing the tragic game of marketing – patients killing - market withdrawing.

Bellow was the article in 2007.
[Abstract] Mental disorder is not only a psychological problem but also a physical problem with abnormality or atrophy in brain. Anti-psychotic medicine can control the symptom such as hallucination, acousma, and mania effectively, but it cannot control the encephala-atrophy that engulfs brain, making some patients unable to return to society due to sleepiness and constant without emotion. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) showed wonderful cure effect in treating mental disorder. It is as easy as treating general diseases to treat psychotic, make patient recover as normal as before in weeks and go back to school with willingness. TCM possesses both advantages of western medicine and Orthomolecular medicine, which has no heavy negative effect as that of western medicine and take effect faster than that of Orthomolecular medicine. The huge market of TCM in OTC medicine is ready for launch, which only needs a small force to trigger.

“To detect earlier loss, we compared gray matter profiles across all 24 subjects at their first scan and at their last scan 4.6 years later. Two striking features emerged. First, the severe progressive lateral temporal and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex deficit observed later was not apparent at age 13, even at a mean of 3 years after the onset of psychotic symptoms. These deficits, which are characteristic of adult and childhood schizophrenia, were severely progressive after illness onset (on average 5% lateral temporal attrition per year) but were absent in the early phase of the disease. In evaluating the power of the approach, we would have been likely to detect an early temporal and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex deficit, if present, but the near identity (to within 0-1%) of average normal and patient gray matter distribution at first scan, combined with the high rate of progression and significant deficit observed late, jointly suggest that the process of temporal and prefrontal gray matter attrition is a later developmental event. Second, parietal and motor cortices showed a severe early deficit (up to 20% loss; P < 0.0005) with diffuse loss in other (but not temporal) cortical regions. This early (prepubertal) parietal deficit is consistent with the faster parietal loss found in younger patients, whereas the dynamics of loss in other regions is more uniform with age. The initial parietal deficit, which is also progressive, also occurs in regions where normal adolescents lose gray matter, although in disease this loss process is significantly accelerated.
Although it is unclear whether the normal and aberrant processes have a similar mechanism or are independent, the parietal and motor cortical deficits are progressive and are the earliest to develop. We recently found that the parietal regions, specifically, are also in deficit in adult patients relative to genetically identical controls (their monozygotic discordant twins). This finding indicates that environmental and not purely genetic factors are implicated in triggering this deficit, at least in adults.§ In the present study, a dynamic wave of progression from parietal cortices occurs later, into superior frontal, dorsolateral prefrontal, and temporal cortices (including superior temporal gyri).
These regions comprise a specific band of cortical territory in which adult deficits are thought to be strongly influenced by genetic factors, as deficits here (i) are found in unaffected relatives and (ii) significantly covary with an individual's degree of genetic affinity to a patient. In our adolescent cohort, the temporal and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex deficits were among the most severe but began in late adolescence and were observed only after symptom onset.”[8] [9][10].

“Patients with chronic schizophrenia displayed bilateral hippocampal volume reduction. Patients with first-episode schizophrenia but not schizophreniform psychosis displayed left hippocampal volume reduction.” [11].
“Despite having intact performance in word recognition, the patients with schizophrenia had less activation of the right dorsolateral and anterior prefrontal cortex, right anterior cingulate, and left lateral temporal cortex during word encoding, compared with the healthy comparison subjects. During word recognition, the patients had impairments in activation of the bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal and lateral temporal cortices.”[12]
April 2003, I met him and his father. At that time, his father has taken him out of nursing home for a couple of months, since the father has retired. When I said something to son, he only answered "no, no" in mandarin and went backward. I was surprised by his response and stared at his father with wondering.
His father introduced some symptoms of his son with sadness: no laugh, no cry, do not watch TV, do not listen music, do nothing beside eating and sleeping. He worried that nobody would take care of his son after his leaving this world. I told him that Chinese medicine (natural) and multi-vitamin-mineral can help his son, and I can donate this kind of Chinese medicine made by myself, two times with one pill of multi-vitamin-mineral daily and keep the dose of Zyprexa. The father accepted my advice.
I supervised the father daily by telephone. In the first 2 days, his son slept heavier, sleep time increased nearly 2 hours than that of before, then decreased day by day, after a week, he slept 10-11 hours/day, more important is that his emotion came back again, talk, laugh, watch TV, listen music, and do some housework. Back to Top
About 3 weeks later, he showed himself as a normal person. I suggested sending him for shopping vegetable and fruit, meanwhile, to check some item's price as a trial. The son was successful without mistake. Month later, the father phoned me with happiness: "your medicine is wonderful, recently my son always ask me the English words meaning on the tools that he saw at home and on the wall along street." His son could search English words meaning by electronic dictionary installed on computer, which he showed him how to use once only. He felt more surprise was that his son knew more English words than those of he ever asked. His son could recall some English words that he had studied before. He also asked me to help him, because his son wanted to open the computer to see the secret inside.
Month and half later, the son wanted to know more new things eagerly. The father was bored by son's questions endless. I suggested that he should send his son to study English in school. The purpose was for further curing psychologically from contacting with different people. Meanwhile that will improve his communicating ability in English and prepare to get his life back on track for enjoying his young life as a taxpayer. He had his son registered in school. Back to Top
At first two weeks, the father accompanied his son to go to school every day, then the son went to school alone every day willingly with happiness.
In addition, on my request, he had his son's blood tested. The results were good. Also lowered the dose to 15mg of Zypreza daily.
Chinese medicine improved the psychiatric symptom in short time, showed that it has strong medical effect for stimulating the regeneration of brain cell and making atrophied brain restore faster.
In above case, every component in compound Chinese medicine was used long time in China. Some were used last hundreds years, some even last thousands years. No side effects were reported. It is safe not only in dose (large or small) but also in taking term (longer or shorter), which was proved by research results of modern biochemistry and clinical trial.
More important is that some Chinese medicine can help to prevent diabetes caused by Zyprexa, which is terrible negative effect. [20]
Also Chinese medicine is very cheap, $120 - $150/mouth is enough. It is important not only for the family of patient but also for the government to reduce the budget on medication largely. Back to Top
I think that Multi-vitamin-mineral took only an assistant role in the case, because no one is a mega-dose in all of them, 31 different kind of vitamins & minerals put in one pill and took one pill each time with Chinese medicine compound together. But it can provide essential nutrition needed by patient, to take effect with other medicine together and help to restore patient debilitated organs.
Zyprexa mediate through a combination of dopamine and serotonin type 2 (5HT2) antagonism to control the symptom such as hallucination, acousma, and mania in short time. [21] In this point is better than that of TCM and Orthomolecular medicine, but make the most patient sleepy and keep in no emotion condition, cannot control the encephala-atrophy that engulfs brain continuously. So the patients cannot go back to society again.
Three kind of medicine (Western, Orthomolecular and Chinese) can be used solely, and had recovered cases were reported in any of them. Psychotic is a disease that is sensitive to the psychological pressure, some can recover without therapy when the psychological pressure was relieved and some can recover by taking placebo. So it is hard to say the effect of any medicine. I think that the best way to examine a medicine effect is treating a patient who is in the psychotic symptom at least more than one year, the longer, the better, just as the young man that have lasted 10 years in psychotic status in above case. But we can learn that treat patient by putting three kind of medicine together have a strong advantage. Back to Top
The misfortune is that the most of psychotic is youth. We can tell that how their parents were struck psychologically when diagnosed illness of their beloved child as psychotic. The child was fostered with paying a lot of heart blood, and put a lot of hope on them. But now, their beloved-kid is Just like a baby bird that is outspreading its wing toward the immense of air to realize their beautiful dream, the wings were broken suddenly with helpless, and just like a bud protruded its head against the earth barely, was struck by storm with hailstone.
I have strong confidence to help more psychotics getting free from emotionless, and return a recovered child to their family just like the one before illness by Chinese medicine.
The above case is an example that demonstrated the amazing therapeutic effect of Chinese medicine, which also demonstrated that I’m proficient in using Chinese medicine.
I have strong confidence to clone the case to many other diseases by changing component of compound Chinese medicine according to patient’s specific symptoms, such as patients whose are suffering from HIV/AIDS, [22 ] Drug Abuse [23 ] and so on. As their health condition improved day by day, their atrophied brain will be restored again, too. Just like that of young man in above case.
The confidence based on following condition:
A. I’ve learnt more about Chinese medicine associated with various diseases, which came from more than 30 years studying constantly. I have accumulated nearly 6 Gb data of TCM, include royal court secret recipe, patent documents, clinical trial papers that published on professional magazine and some new research results in Western Medicine.
B. For the each Chinese Medicine to be used, I’ve made clear their chemical composition, positive effect, negative effect and integrating effect when they were used together. These cannot get from books of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), but can only get from new research results by Western medicine method. Also this is why the old practitioners in TCM could not treat disease quickly and accurately compared with those of practitioners did in Western medicine.
C. Take advantage of the theory of compound formula in TCM, treat patient on different symptom at the same time by putting different Chinese Medicine together to enhance each others’ medical effects, relieve each others’ side effects.
D. Compared with that of western medicine, the Chinese Medicine has none or little negative affect, so it will accept easily by patients and their family.
E. Use some orthomolecular medicine as an assistant medication to supply some essential nutrients for patients. The vitamins and minerals are important nutrients, especially for patients whose digestion ability was lowered by suffering from long-term illness. Back to Top
Follow link is Linus Pauling’s My Love Affair with Vitamin C, in the paper, Linus Pauling described the medical function of mega-dose Vitamin C by his wife’s and his trial. He mentioned Abram Hoffer and other scientists who ever worked on mega-dose vitamins. [32]
“Orthomolecular therapy dates back to the early 1950s when a few psychiatrists began adding massive doses of nutrients to their treatment of severe mental problems. The original substance was vitamin B3 (nicotinic acid or nicotinamide), and the therapy was termed "megavitamin therapy." Later the treatment regimen was expanded to include other vitamins, minerals, hormones, and diets, any of which may be combined with conventional drug therapy and electroshock treatments. A few hundred physicians now use this approach to treat a variety of conditions, both mental and physical”.[33][34]
When I searched back in the filiation of Orthomolecular, I found that Canada was the cradle place, and Abram Hoffer, a Canadian Psychiatrist, played a very important role in the development of Orthomolecular Medicine. Now he lived in Victoria, Canada, as an active fighter is struggling against the disease that is affecting human health. I believe he is standardbearer of Orthomolecular Medicine at present world. April 27-30, 2006, he presided over the 35th Annual International Conference - Nutritional Medicine Today in Vancouver, Canada.[35][36]
The Sacramento Bee, a newspaper in Sacramento, California, USA, Published Linus Pauling Feels Vitamin May Be Mental Illness Cure, in page B4, Sunday, April 12, 1970. The paper said, “The use of massive doses of Vitamins – primarily Vitamin B3, which also is known as niacin or nicotinic acid – in the treatment of schizophrenia was started 18 years ago in Canada.” We can determine the date and cradle-place of firstly using mega-vitamin B3. It is 1952 in Canada. Follow link is the Xerox copy of the paper.[37].
There were a lot of cases that cured by Orthomolecular medicine. Such as schizophrenia, coronary disease, cancer, diabetes and so on. Following is some links.[38][39][40]
The toxicity of niacin: ORL-MUS LD50 5000 mg kg-1. [43]
“As an antioxidant, vitamin C's primary role is to neutralize free radicals. Since ascorbic acid is water soluble, it can work both inside and outside the cells to combat free radical damage. As explained earlier, free radicals will seek out an electron to regain their stability. Vitamin C is an excellent source of electrons; therefore, it "can donate electrons to free radicals such as hydroxyl and superoxide radicals and quench their reactivity,"”[44] Vitamin C can reduce oxidant stress effectively.
“Up to 6 grams daily of vitamin C has been reported to be beneficial for people with schizophrenia;” “A small preliminary trial using 8 grams daily of vitamin C showed decreases in hallucinations, suspiciousness, and unusual and disorganized thoughts in 77% of schizophrenic patients.”[45]
A study consisted of 13 men aged 25 to 35 who supplemented with 1,000 mg of vitamin C twice daily for 2 months. The percentage of motile sperm almost doubled from 31% to 60%, the total sperm count more than doubled, and the percentage of normal sperm increased from 43% to 67%.[46]
Vitamin C possesses a lot of benefits for our health, too. The fact that vitamin C improved the symptoms of schizophrenics and sperm quality shows that it can improve human health not only in the individual organ but also in general health condition. I think that is the therapeutic effects of vitamin C to treat psychotic by restore health condition in general. Back to Top
The toxicity of Vitamin C: ORL-MUS LD50 3367 mg kg-1. [47]
Nowadays, we can find vitamin, minerals and other dietary supplements were selling in shops or pharmacies everywhere. It showed the success of Orthomolecular Medicine.
The Philosophical concept of TCM is mainly based on the Taoism philosophy, one of the most important philosophies in China. Similar to Holism of the western one, it is focused on macroscopic view, which is contrasted sharply with the reductionism of western philosophy.
“TCM has a macro view to most diseases: well-balanced human bodies can usually handle most everyday bacteria and virus, which are ubiquitous and quickly changing; diseases happens only if there are some unbalanced parts in a human body. Due to this macro philosophy, TCM usually does not care what exact bacteria or virus are causing the symptoms, but tries the best to find which parts of the body are unbalanced as well as to find a strategy to bring back the balance. At the meantime, TCM believes only symptoms matter because irregular symptoms from the human bodies are the only faithful sources to deduce the unbalanced parts in a dynamic, complex system like a human body. Consequently, the treatments in TCM do not directly target to kill bacteria or virus but to bring back the balance of human bodies. It is very surprising but understandable that a TCM doctor may give very different herb prescriptions to patients affected by a same type of bacteria, because the different symptoms from the patients indicate different unbalanced parts in their bodies”. [48]
Here, we should make clear that above introduction is the traditional or classical concept of TCM. In recent year, a lot of active constituents were found in Chinese medicine by the research means used in western medicine. It can treat disease as well as that of most western medicine does fast and accurately without negative effect [49].
TCM give much attention to the therapeutic effect of human emotion, social and natural environment, psychodynamic factors, etc. It especially emphasize that therapy is made up of the three tenth by medication and the seven tenth by psychological rehabilitation or recuperation. Indeed there are evidences proved that psychological factors have medical function in western medicine too. That is placebo. They were widely used for researching new drugs in clinical trial. Although most of them have no pharmacological action in therapy, but they can create therapeutic effects physically. In this point, TCM is thousands of years earlier than that of western medicine. Until 1977, the George Engel coined the bio-psychosocial model that considered social and psychological factors associated with physical disease. [50]
More than 10 thousands of different kinds of botanicals, animals, insects and ores were used in TCM, including our daily food, grains, meats, vegetables, fruits and so on, which were accumulated continuously lasting 5000 years in China. It was sorted by medical function. Recent years, the scientists throughout of the world have examined Chinese medicine from many aspects. One of them is micro chemical element and composition. For example, the herbs or ores that can enhance metabolism are rich in Ca, Zn and Fe, and improve male sexual ability is rich in Mn and Cu. It has wonderful orderliness not only in micro chemical elements but also in chemical composition. It shows that the Chinese medicine are used in TCM are sorted scientifically. Back to Top
The compositions in herbs or ores that were used in TCM possess similar nutrients as Orthomolecular. Some contains vitamin, some contains minerals, some contains amino acid and some contains strong antioxidant ingredients. For instance:
Researches show that some Chinese medicine possesses antioxidant effects. [51][52]
Flaxseed is used as herb for relieving constipation and skin inflammations effectively in TCM for long time. Now we make clear that flaxseed is rich in Omega 3, an essential fatty acids is good for heart and brain [53][54][55].
The immature seeds of flax are poisonous.[56].
Gypsum (plaster) is a kind of ore that formed by CaSO4·2H2O, it is used long times due to its wonderful therapeutic effect on relieving fever in TCM, it also can provide Ca and S for our body as minerals.
How about poison of Gypsum? Back to Top
In Iran, a 48-year-old-male attempted suicide by ingesting a large amount (more than three glass≥750 ml) of a solution composed of plaster in water. The patient had experienced mild abdominal cramping. He was underwent gastrotomy and finally released without any complication. [57]
Botanicals and ores contain some useful nutrients for human health, which can’t get from anywhere else. More importantly, the chemical elements and compounds are more active in herbs and ores than that of any other kind of existence. Human body easily absorbs it. For instance, in China, some researchers compared biological activity of Ca in the form of nature and manmade，The results showed that Ca from nature is more active than that of manmade.
I believe that botanical products or natural health products will become a part of daily food with medical effects to help us get free from many diseases in the near future.
Recent decades, Chinese government pay much attention on combination of TCM with western medicine, developed and introduced many modern medical equipments and scientific research methods, largely stimulated development of TCM. Now we can explain the medical function of Chinese medicine more clearly even in the level of cells, protein and gene. Some new results are listed as following: Back to Top
01, Proved effective against AIDS. [58][59][60]
02, Prevent the AIDS virus enter the cells.
03, Counteract interference with the cell cycle, resist the development of cancer or infection with viruses such as HIV-1.
04, Influence the Cells to Apoptosis.
05, Influence the cellular signal transduction.
06, Prevent rewriting of genetic expression.
07. Relieve of cytotoxic activity.
08, Restore the organ or nerve system.
09, Reduce the emergency stress reaction.
10, Improve the metabolism.
11, Relieve the chronic fatigue syndrome.
12, Sexual tonic and stimulant, improve the erectile dysfunction. Back to Top
13, Relieve or heal the psychosis.
14, Relieve or heal the depression.
15, Detox the drug addiction disorders.
16, Relieve the snore and apnea.
17, Prevent or heal heart attack and Stroke.
18, Substitute blood-dialyse of uraemia patient.
19, Activate blood flow and removing blood stasis.
20, Protect on cerebral or heart ischemia-reperfusion injury
21, Anti-aging.
22, Anti bacteria.
23, Prevent or heal cough.
24, Treat chloasma.
25, Relieve neurasthenic.
26, Prevent or heal ulcer of alimentary canal.
27, Heal chronic tracheitis.
28, Smooth scars.
29, Relieve or heal arthritis.
30, Augment white or red blood cells.
And so on. Back to Top
The list can be made much longer. But those are enough to make any people understand that some Chinese medicine possess the therapeutic effect similar to that of western medicine.
TCM combined the advantages of other 2 medicines, therapeutic function in western medicine and nutritional function in Orthomolecular. More important is that Chinese medicine is a huge pharmaceutical resource, which western medicine does not have at present.
Although, the Chinese medicine came from nature, some of them are not safe for using, because some herbs have instant or long-term poison. If we use it correctly, it would be a very good medicine. Contrariwise, it will cause unexpected result.
The advantage of herbal medicine in TCM is compound prescription (multi-pharmacy). In most of prescriptions, put 2 to 20, even 60 different kinds of medicine together, to treat patient from every symptom of syndrome: Back to Top
4.3.1 Focus on symptom of diseases, most disease is a syndrome that shown many different symptom at the same time or at different stage of disease development. Such as, fever, no appetite, rhinitis, faucitis, headache, coprostasis, insomnia and so on, prescription in TCM may put on one or more different medicine for treating each symptom at same time, more symptoms will need more herbs.
4.3.2. Support each other, some herbs in compound prescription is not focused on some special symptom, only enhance other medicine effect, for instance, some herbs may increase the content of other herbal medicine in blood or help vasodilatation to enlarge the transportation of other herbal medicine.
4.3.3. Relieve other medicine’s side effects. Example, some herbal medicine may has side effect of causing coprostasis, so put some herbs of improving peristalsis of the alimentary canal to relieve it, improve the appetite too.
4.3.4. Ability of metabolism also affects the absorption of medicine in human body. So some herbs of improving the metabolism could also enhance the other herb’s absorption or improve patient’s health condition directly. Back to Top
4.3.5. Common process method of Chinese medicine is boil then drink soup. There were some reports said that some characteristic spectrums of new substance were found in the liquids of boiled mixed herbs, it shows some new chemical compounds were produced during boiling.
The compound prescription is the best strategy of using Chinese medicine. Its strong therapeutic predominance was proved by the success of using Cocktail Therapy for AIDS. The inventor, David Ho said that he got elicitation from compound prescription in TCM. So, in fact, Cocktail Therapy, Dr. Ho’s achievement is the success of compound formula of TCM.[61][62]
Because the most of disease is syndrome, although the main symptoms are the same, some side symptoms are different; the Chinese medicine is used differently too. So it is difficult to make Chinese medicine in OTC (Over-the-counter drug available without a prescription) according to the theory of TCM. So the most of Practitioner in TCM will refuse to give a formula to be used in OTC, who only can get medical information in the theory book of TCM. But, according to the modern research results for Chinese medicine by means of western medicine, just like listed above, we can certainly make drug in OTC by the materials from Chinese medicine. Back to Top
I think that mentioned above are the 3 main parts of medicine in the present world. They belong to 2 categories of philosophy, Reductionism and Holism.
I believe that philosophical concept is the foundation of success. The best philosophy is the concentration of the distillate from all of philosophy. It is the same in the medical practice. We should absorb the best parts from different medicine instead of expelling each other. Just like the case mentioned above, which healed by combining three kind of medicine together.
If we optimize a formula by putting three kind of medicine together to treat mental disorder, it will perform a powerful therapeutic effect. We will realize that mental problem is not terrible than that of any other diseases. We obviously can control the psychotic as easy as treating a general flu in a simple and cheaper way.
Also, we can make some medicine or supplements to be used for preventing mental disorder without negative effect. Who can prevent ahead by taking those medicine in case of feeling pressure psychologically. Even we can take it as a part of daily food to keep our body far away from illness.
5. Suggestion of Clinical Trial to treat disease with TCM
I’d like to co-operate with some researchers to make clinical trial with Chinese medicine for the Schizophrenia, AIDS and other diseases, get a significant improvement for the patients in one or two weeks, just like that of young man in the above case. Back to Top
In order to relieve the doubt of patients and their family, I’d like to make a trial in advance; take 50% more than that of patient’s is going to take, for a week or longer time to examine the potential poison of Chinese medicine that will be used.
After 1 or 2 weeks, we should get an evident positive result.
The above clinical trial can be used for applying a new drug for marketing, which was requested by Natural Health Products Regulations of Canada.
The following are some policies issued by WHO, European Community (EC), US and Canada.
WHO - Strategy for Traditional Medicine 2002-2005[63]
EC. DIRECTIVE 2004/24/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL amending, as regards traditional herbal medicinal products, Directive 2001/83/EC on the Community code relating to medicinal products for human use.[64]

Canada - About Natural Health Product Regulation[66]
[67]. http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/dhp-mps/prodnatur/index_e.html
Recent years, many new research results of chemical composition and their medical function of herbs were reported, it is helpful for making OTC drugs. If we joint the TCM theory with Western medical research method together, we will get a very well OTC medicine by using Chinese medicine. Back to Top
Suppose that use herbal medicine in the Canadian health system, which is covered by government health insurance. It not only provides a very good choice of medicine for patients, but also will save 30% - 50% of spending on medication for government. Furthermore, the most of the herbs that was often used in TCM can be grown in Canada, which would help us to establish a supply chain in herbal medicine, from farming to manufacturing, and then to health service. It not only creates an employment opportunity for a large group of people, but also can make foreign exchange by exporting natural health products.
The best way is keep formula in secret as a “know how”, just like the formula of Coca Cola.
The huge Rocket of herbal medicine market worldwide is ready for launching. It only needs a small spark or a gentle trigger.
I hope to co-operate with some organizations or individuals to develop some medicines based on the theory of TCM and open a new market. Because that I’ve learnt more about TCM associated with various disease. So I’m clear how to make Chinese Medicine products to fit into the demands of various patients, how to market the Chinese Medicine products in white hot market competition and how to open a market for new Chinese Medicine products in short time with very less cost.
The fact of restoring atrophied brain in short time will be a great breakthrough in medicine marketplace. So it will help to open a market easily.
Thank you for reading this article.
