Save the Chinese rely on science, rather than rely on Yao Ming

Yao Ming from medical treatment in the dispute, we can see that the issue of Chinese medicine. Chinese Ling failed » Matter of opinion. I am inclined to believe that Chinese medicine. In general, however, if he had more serious, I still have to look at Western medicine, Western medicine not only in time, I will try Chinese medicine. Yao's foot injury, of course, Western medicine approach. However, there are ways of Western medicine in general will tell you a treatment and rehabilitation of the time, and to develop strict procedures for the resumption of training, less than normal days can not be restored, do not expect miracles there. If you want to go beyond the restrictions of this Western medicine, and take a faster path, of course, will try to find Chinese medicine. Yao hurry to participate in the Olympic Games, ranging from time, not Western medicine, and other provisions of the recovery time frame, he would like to try Chinese medicine, but also forgiven.

He said that in the first Olympic Games Haobu a foot injury, or has not been fully restored, the prospects for injuries after the game. Really such a situation, anti-Chinese people will certainly say: see, Chinese medicine is not voodoo science, held up Yao's treatment. And the real situation is more likely: Yao Ming also accepted the traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment, he did not resume, I am afraid that he needs a longer recovery time, it should not be playing the Olympics. This and Western medicine in which there is no correlation between the high and should not alone bear the responsibility for Chinese medicine. Another situation is the opposite: Yao Ming not only restored, but
