Despite their similarities, Western medicine and Eastern medicine are very different because they are built on different fundamentals. The general idea has arisen that we will benefit by connecting Western and Eastern medicine. First, both the merits as well as the limitations of both types of medicine are discussed. It was concluded that to create a bridge, we should focus on similarities that inspire the further unravelling of the molecular mechanism of the mode of action and toxicity of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is suggested that the energy perspective provides a basis to integrate Eastern and Western medicine.
尽管西医和中医有许多相似之处，但它们建立在不同的基础上，因此有着很大的差异。现在有一种普遍的观点认为，将西医和中医结合起来我们将受益。首先，讨论了这两种医学的优缺点。结论是，为了建立一座桥梁，我们应该关注那些能够激发进一步揭示中医药作用机制和毒性的分子机制的相似之处。有人建议，能量观点为整合中西医提供了一个基础。
