After centuries of development, modern medicine has become the mainstream, saving hundreds of millions of lives. Its exploration of the microscopic world of the human body has reached an unprecedented peak, making outstanding contributions to the advancement of medical technology worldwide.
In laboratories in Germany, medical scientists have dissected human tissue into slices smaller than one millimeter to study the human body and pathology. Yet countless diseases remain incurable for modern medicine even after years of research; some cannot even be fully explained in terms of their causes, with theoretical contradictions at their core.
Have the great modern medical scientists ever asked themselves: Do they truly understand the human body? Do they truly understand humanity and the world? Have they strayed from the right path in medical philosophy, drifting further and further from the truth?
Truth may not lie under the microscope. The parts of the human body invisible to high-precision instruments are where real science exists.
The early development of medicine, both in China and abroad, began from a mesoscopic perspective.
Ancient Greek medicine, the origin of Western medicine, held that the world consists of four elements: fire, water, air, and earth. The human body is composed of four humors: blood corresponds to fire, phlegm to water, yellow bile to air, and black bile to earth.
This theoretical framework is remarkably similar to the structural method of traditional Chinese medicine.
After the modernization of Western medicine in the 16th century, it gradually shifted from the mesoscopic to the microscopic. Rudolf Virchow, the father of cellular pathology, established the theory of cellular pathology in the mid-19th century.
Since then, Western medicine has undergone a complete transformation, driven by anatomy and microscopic research, rising to become the world’s dominant medical system.
The scientific nature of Western medicine is rooted in the positivist core of modern science, following the core principles of measurability, repeatability, and verifiability.
Its development is deeply integrated with basic disciplines such as physics, chemistry, and biology, relying on precision instruments to quantitatively measure human physiological and pathological indicators, and dissect disease mechanisms at the cellular and molecular levels.
From precise lesion localization via imaging diagnosis to double-blind trials and evidence-based medicine in drug development, all reflect an extreme pursuit of objective evidence.
The efficacy of every treatment and every medication must be verified through standardized experiments to eliminate chance and ensure universal applicability.
This paradigm gives Western medicine clear advantages in emergency treatment and organic diseases, making it the mainstream of modern healthcare and widely accepted as the benchmark of scientific medicine.
Western (modern) medicine is a scientific medical paradigm from industrial civilization to information civilization.
Based on anatomy, physiology, and molecular biology, it uses reductionism to decompose life — from organs to cells, then to genes and proteins — and positivist logic to validate therapeutic effects through double-blind trials, statistical analysis, and evidence-based medicine.
The strengths of this paradigm are:
•Precise understanding of the material basis of diseases (such as bacteria, viruses, and genetic mutations);
•Breakthroughs in emergency rescue (thrombolysis for myocardial infarction, trauma surgery);
•Infectious disease prevention and control (vaccine development, antibiotic application);
•Treatment of organic diseases (tumor chemoradiotherapy, organ transplantation).
However, its limitations have become increasingly apparent:
•Over-reliance on a local-lesion mindset, with insufficient holistic regulation of psychosomatic diseases and complex chronic diseases (such as diabetes and hypertension);
•New health risks from technology abuse (such as excessive examinations and antibiotic resistance);
•Insufficient attention to the psychological and social attributes of human beings, reducing medicine to a technical tool that “treats lesions but not patients.”
The core of The Herbal Order lies in a thorough understanding of the human body and diseases, perceiving a more comprehensive human structure and the interrelationships among the zang-fu organs that are invisible to the naked eye and precision instruments.
These theories originate from ancient medicine, forming a more incisive and profound medical system.
The Herbal Order further understands the origin of humanity and the world and their profound connections, and grasps the objective laws governing the growth of all things in the world.
As medicinal substances, herbal medicines can cure all diseases in the world. Strict requirements are imposed on the processing methods of nearly ten thousand herbs, the sequence of herb administration, and the precise dosage of each herb.
As inheritors of ancient medicine, The Herbal Order holds medical concepts that are significantly different from modern traditional Chinese medicine.
The Herbal Order replaces traditional acupuncture with the application of Qi and cultivation techniques in disease treatment, which not only achieves twice the result with half the effort but, more importantly, treats diseases without harming the patient’s body.
The Herbal Order can reach areas of the human body inaccessible to modern medicine through precision instruments and achieve complete cures through unique secret recipes — this is true science.
The Herbal Order takes only the patient’s therapeutic effect as the sole criterion. Any data listed by modern instruments is merely interval screening distribution of big data, not genuine science.
Modern medicine is highly advanced, yet it has gone too far down the path of anatomy and cytology, toward an extreme.
Why can’t we pause to reflect: What is the real human body? The human body is not a simple superposition of organs.
Why are we humans, not animals? Why do we live on Earth? What exactly is the 99% of dark matter in the world?
Only then will we draw closer to the truth and understand the significance of the existence of The Herbal Order.
