Hui said conditions such as fibromyalgia, low back pain, and carpal tunnel syndrome are easily treated using a Chinese medicine approach. Modern Western medicine is more analytic in its approach to treating disease, Hui noted. As such, a more complete type of medicine would be to combine both Chinese and modern Western medicine. The blending of Eastern and Western approaches to health and healing can maximize the safety and effectiveness of care in an accessible and affordable manner. Hui, who is trained both in Western and Chinese medicine, urged doctors to develop at least a familiarity of Chinese medicine so that eventually they can incorporate it into their practice.
Chinese medicine is the most important Chinese contribution to healthcare in the new millennium.
If carefully blended with Western medicine, the world will have a compelling new healthcare paradigm.
