某媒體8月3日刊登新聞“美國首次認同中醫(yī)藥學(xué)為獨立科學(xué)體系”,3日,“反偽斗士”方舟子立即給予回應(yīng):“‘美認同中醫(yī)藥學(xué)為獨立科學(xué)體系’根本就是一條欺騙國人的假新聞”。
此新聞是根據(jù)美國食品藥品管理局(FDA)新近發(fā)布了一份指導(dǎo)性文件《補充和替代醫(yī)學(xué)產(chǎn)品及FDA管理指南(初稿)》進行的報道,報道中寫到,這份指導(dǎo)性文件將包括中醫(yī)藥在內(nèi)的傳統(tǒng)醫(yī)學(xué)從“補充和替代醫(yī)學(xué)(CAM)”中分離出來,首次認同中醫(yī)藥學(xué)與西方主流醫(yī)學(xué)一樣,是一門有著完整理論和實踐體系的獨立科學(xué)體系,而不僅僅是對西方主流醫(yī)學(xué)的補充。(FDA新發(fā)布的指導(dǎo)性文件原文見:http:///Soft/25.html)
但方舟子反駁稱,這份指導(dǎo)性文件中只有兩處提到中醫(yī),都是和印度草醫(yī)放一塊的,并翻譯如下:“‘補充與另類醫(yī)學(xué)’一詞涵蓋許多種醫(yī)療實踐、產(chǎn)品和療法,它們與‘常規(guī)’或‘對抗療法’醫(yī)學(xué)的實踐、產(chǎn)品和療法有顯著的差異。有些形式的補充與另類醫(yī)學(xué),例如中醫(yī)和印度草醫(yī),已被實踐了數(shù)百年,而其他的,例如電療法,則是更晚近才出現(xiàn)的?!?/p>
(The term "complementary and alternative medicine"(CAM)encompasses a wide array of health care practices,products,and therapies that are distinct from practices,products,and therapies used in "conventional" or "allopathic" medicine.Some forms of CAM,such as traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic medicine,have been practiced for centuries,whereas others,such as electrotherapy,are more recent in origin.)
“NCCAM(國家補充與另類醫(yī)學(xué)中心)把整個醫(yī)藥體系描述為涉及‘與對抗療法(常規(guī))醫(yī)學(xué)獨立地或平行地演變的完整的理論和實踐體系’。這些可能反映了獨特的文化體系,例如中醫(yī)和印度草醫(yī)。”
(NCCAM describes whole medical systems as involving "complete systems of theory and practice that have evolved independently from or parallel to allopathic(conventional)medicine." These may reflect individual cultural systems,such as traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic medicine.)
這不過指出了眾所周知的事實,即中醫(yī)和印度草醫(yī)類似,與“常規(guī)醫(yī)學(xué)”(現(xiàn)代醫(yī)學(xué))存在顯著差異,有數(shù)百年的歷史,是一個獨特的文化體系。哪里認同中醫(yī)是個“科學(xué)體系”?哪里有“科學(xué)”一詞?哪里表明FDA接受了中醫(yī)藥理念和治療功能?難道中國中醫(yī)科學(xué)院認為FDA像中國藥檢局那樣是可以用陰陽五行胡扯就可以糊弄過去的?
FDA的這份文件還特地指出,不可因為文件中提到某種療法、實踐或產(chǎn)品就認為FDA在支持它,大概就是料到了可能會有騙子要拿這份文件騙人。中國中醫(yī)科學(xué)院陳可冀院士是因為英文水平太差看不懂這份文件,還是有意造謠欺騙國人?這是不是再次證明了中醫(yī)的“國際地位”是靠謊言打造的?
