It can be seen that Chinese and western medicine, one is a unique theoretical system of philosophical medicine with the concept of "functional man", and the other is a new theoretical system of modern medicine with the concept of "dissecting man and physical man". Neither of them is a science that focuses on the whole person, and both of them are unscientific in theory, which will inevitably affect their respective development. Facts have also proved that all this, Chinese medicine has been stagnant for a long time, and the curative effect is not necessarily. Although western medicine has developed to the level of gene and molecule, the incidence of diseases remains high, and the etiology and pathogenesis of most diseases are unknown, so the treatment is limited. In the face of mild SARS and bird flu, there is nothing to do, but in the face of diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, uremia and many other diseases, we have to ask for help or use Chinese medicine for treatment. One is that the curative effect is uncertain, and the other is that some or even quite a few diseases cannot be treated, which is the reason for the integration of traditional Chinese and western medicine. But because they are two sets of theories and two cars running on the road, there is no possibility of combination in theory, just a formal integration. Therefore, western medicine has to turn to Chinese medicine for help for intractable diseases, and Chinese medicine often adopts western medicine diagnosis, Chinese medicine treatment and combination of Chinese and western medicine therapy. As for the so-called "medicine" such as evidence-based medicine, comparative medicine, post-modern medicine and behavioral medicine, it cannot be called an independent medical science. There will be relevant comments on this point in the relevant chapters of soul medicine.
In a word, all kinds of medical sciences in the world, which focus on traditional Chinese and western medicine, are imperfect, that is, medical sciences with incomplete people as the research object, so they can't solve all the difficult and vague problems in the history of traditional Chinese and western medicine and even the humanities and social sciences, and become the fetters that hinder the progress of medical science. Indeed, it is obviously beyond the scope of Chinese and Western medicine to solve all the difficult and vague problems in Chinese and Western medicine and even humanities and social sciences. We must jump out of the theoretical framework of traditional Chinese and western medicine and establish a new medical theoretical system. All the problems involved in this system are far beyond the existing theories of traditional Chinese and western medicine in breadth and depth, and the existing theories of traditional Chinese and western medicine should be incorporated into their own theoretical framework. In order to shoulder this historical mission, an original theoretical system of life medicine-soul medicine came into being. It not only satisfactorily explains and solves all the difficulties and vague problems in the history of human medicine and humanities and social sciences from a macro or strategic perspective, but also enlightens people and has to re-understand human beings themselves and the multidimensional world on which human beings depend.
