Future medical development

Current biomedical model does not either work effectively for many fatal disease physically and mentally, or help to save medical cost for patients. At the end of last century, scientists and professors points out that, to improve human health, future medical development should invert from treatment to prevention. That is to say,  stress medicine will become the target of future medical development.

But what is stress medicine? It is a social-psychological-biomedical model system, which substantially advances the understanding of the cause of disease from the single microorganism aspect to social, natural and even universal environment aspect. Stress medicine indicates the role of neurology, endocrine and immune system in health maintenance, disease cause and progression. From the perspective of stress medicine, people are living under great “stress load†because of current deteriorating environment, greatly changing life style and the growing fierce competition stress. All of these factors exhaust body’s ability of stress reaction, leading to stress injury and many serious fatal diseases.

Stress medicine can help Chinese medicine to grow its own theoretically system and make it based on living substances, so as to become a more convincing medical system. It’s the only way for Chinese medicine to develop further in the 21st century.

But what is stress medicine? It is a social-psychological-biomedical model system, which substantially advances the understanding of the cause of disease from a single microorganism aspect to social, natural and even cosmic aspect. Stress medicine indicates the role of neurology, the endocrine and immune system in health maintenance, disease cause, and progression. People are living under great “stress load†because of current deteriorating environment, greatly changing lifestyle and the stress from a increasingly fiercely competititive society. From the perspective of stress medicine, all of these factors exhaust body’s ability to effectively deal with stress, leading to stress injuries and many serious, and potentially fatal diseases.

Stress medicine can help Chinese medicine to build its own theoretical system and make it based around living organisms, so as to become a more convincing medical system. It’s the only way for Chinese medicine to develop further in the 21st century.
