why is (((western))) medicine considered better than the original

>>133947782
Because pharma needs to make money.

>>133947782
It has a better track record

>>133947782
How does that work better than a diuretic?

>>133947782
Most eastern medicine does not do anything. There is some valid stuff related to plants that is.

>>133947782
Because western medicine works.

Because we throw statistics at things rather than just assuming tiger penis cures everything

>>133948126
It's some cupping technique but apparently it works.

Look at the olympic swimmers, michael phelps even had bruises from doing that.

>>133948151
>>133948126

It is cupping - meant to suck out the toxins. It is useful if you overdose on bear bile and tiger penis.

If anything can be shown to work reliably and applicable then it gets adopted by "western" medicine. And if it doesn't: Can it even be called medicine?

>>133948225
Phelps is the best because he fucks trannies tho.

>>133947782

For the shekels goy.

>>133948290

replicable

>>133947782
What the fuck? I thought cupping didn't involve perforation of the skin. And why the fuck is the blood thick like that?

is that how they make ketchup in Chinese ketchup?

traditional chinese medicine is 90% superstitious bullshit 10% actually pretty good. overall would not recommend, maybe if you have a cold or something.

1000 years ago, we used leeches. Then this plague thing happened.

>>133948707
It's the same thing with every rural culture for example slavic.

What will work better for a limp dick and your wallet? Viagra or ground up endangered animal horn?

western medicine in a nutshell

>>133948168
I think the ones they use on bitches tits in pornos are different but I could be wrong. Maybe they are the same but they just don't turn them up as high?

There's a lot of eastern medicine that's actually medicine though. There's an anticoagulant in China, I forgot the name of it, that they used to sell to Vietnam by the truckload during the war.

This is it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yunnan_Baiyao

They used to be our doctors, they are witch doctors. They are still treating peasants on rural parts here. lol

>>133948825
dick - ground up rhino horn
wallet - viagra will most likely be cheaper

>>133948718
Leeches are still used, for example when mucus has to be removed, because they are effective and disposable.

>>133948978
just like women :^)

>>133949089
Top kek.
Leeches are cheap tho.

the same reason (((psychiatry))) is considered better than shamanism. because it is, but only in fatal cases.

using western medicine and psychiatry for minor complaints can lead to taking medications you don't need and neurosis over issues you didn't know you had.

>>133948894

>Use the insurance pill (red pill) wrapped in the center of blisterpack for emergency severe traumatic injury or bleeding. Note that this pill causes substantial thickening of the blood that could cause serious problems in patients with existing blood pressure or heart issues. The red pill should ONLY be used in situations where the patient is already in imminent danger of death from blood loss

>>133948126
Sucking off the impurities, just like what you did back in the middle ages with leeches

>>133948427

OP's image is wet cupping.

They'll make a small cut in the area and then re-apply the cups for more suction.

Maggots are used too, to eat away dead flesh. But this is all medicine, not folk tales. There are peer reviewed articles about the efficacy of such treatment.

Because placebo effect only works as far.

>>133947782
Why do people do this? Why not just give blood? Wouldnt it have the same effect if it actually has any effect at all? Wouldn't you rather just get a small needle in your vein, sit and get a free cookie and juice rather than have sunction cups all over your back like youre being attacked by a giant octopus

>>133948825
you can get some herbal stuff, surely cheaper than viagra, that turns your dick into marble.

Phelps and other athletes just use heated cups to increase blood circulation. Pic is medieval-tier pointless blood letting.

>>133947782
Chinese cupping is retarded and doesn't help.

If you don't pierce/cut the skin to get the blood out it will have better effects.
>>133949475
It does.

It was commonly used around the world for centuries only to be declared as not working shit in the same category as voodoo magic. Now the problem is that after some studies were made around 10 years ago, the researches found out that it works and figured out how. The problem eggheads often have is that they think that medicine is only about pills and surgery, while there's much, much more to it.

>>133949632
the irony is that you're talking about it as if it's some new and volatile experimental chemical compound, and not a blend of plants which have each been used for over a thousand years.

I believe in herbal medicine.

French liliac was the medieval diabetic treatment. The modern drug metformin has a similar chemical make-up.

Those ancient healers knew a lot.

>>133948290
cocaine, opium, and cannabis are the most effective drugs known to man and yet are almost entirely excluded from western medicine in favor of inferior synthetic derivatives that can be patented.

>>133948225
The only benefit of cupping is that it proved Phelps was/is natty.
If he wasn't, he wouldn't have needed or fallen for meme pseudoscience like cupping.

>>133950314
The ancient/medieval healers had centuries of experimentation to find proper herbs and shit. You really shouldn't try to dismiss any of them outright without checking them first.

For example - before antibiotics and germ theory were known, curing wounds and infections was incredibly hard. So what did people do? They were taking spiderweb and bread, mixing them and applying on the wound. It turns out that it caused the growth of mushrooms similar to those that produced penicillin which produced much less effective antibiotic, but still, better than no antibiotic.

>>133947782
Because Western medicine actually works. I'm working in a hospital and I see every week some of these idiots keep coming here after using eastern medicine which obviously fails.

Also you moron newfag this is /pol so you shall visit /fit with your absurd questions.

>>133950360
>Opium

morphine is the standard pain relier in western medicine. And it's exclusively extracted from poppies.

Cannabis can be perscribed here in germany.

And I'd like to know for which illness cocaine is the best treatment option.

>>133951655

Cocaine is occasionally used in dentistry for anesthesia.

Novacane is a synthetic derivative.

>>133947782
Flagellation is alright because this time it's eastern and therefore multicultural.

>>133947782
Does anyone else have the urge to eat one of those clotted blood wafers?

>>133950922
Nice abecdotal evdence -assuming it's real- you got there.

In France, which is big pharma-heavy, "standard" medecine puts 150 000 people in hospitl beds yearly, and about 15-30k die due to complications from this "standard" big pharma medecine.

But keep on harping how homeopathy killed a little girl in Italy a few months ago!

>>133947782

>Eastern medicine.
>Not just medieval medical knowledge. Shit like Humorism, and low end herbalist shit.


Western medicine gave us germ theory, antibiotics, and genetics.

Eastern medicine tells you that the reason why you have hepatitis is because you didn't eat the proper blend of spicy and sour foods.

>>133947782
Antibiotics are by far the greatest thing medical technology has ever created and it's being ruined by overuse/abuse the third world. A lot of eastern medicine is purely superstition, not all of it though.

>>133947782
Because we actually cure diseases and don't snort rhino horn to get hard.

>>133947782
Look at Chinese technology, construction, and people, and tell me you want them taking care of your medicine too.

>>133948239
kek good one

>>133950314
>Those ancient healers knew a lot.
Yeah and we kept the part that actually works.

>>133952930

The west as Viagra, the east says "do a line of white rhino horn and have a tiger testicle shooter to get hard."

>>133952837
>he drank the homeopathic Jew
Can you at least stop making me pay taxes for your fucking placebo sugar pills?

"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food"

Hippocrates isn't an ancestor of western medecine I guess....

Yes, much better to pay taxes for chemo, at least it REALLY kills people and prevents them from being a burden on our budget

>>133953443
it is weird, must be some sort of data scraping/collection

>>133947782

Because it works.

That's what allopathic medicine does. They try things, if it works, great. If not, it gets thrown.

>>133954209
And there's ofc no lobbying from big pharma to prevent competition

>>133948030
It doesn't, and cupping done too frequently can cause serious skin ulcers.

>>133950286
If it's not being put in the pills so the company can save money then there must be something off about it.
If there's one thing I can trust, companies will try to save money wherever they can so they can fuck me out of mine better.

>>133953825
>Evil corporations want money

It won't kill their customers, it'll make more by making dumb people think it's harmless.

>>133955756
I can accept that might be going on, but as soon as you start claiming the corporations are killing thousands of customers in the name of... Something? Sounds like total BS.
Which is what Froganon was doing.

>>133949289
The only difference is we learned that shit was just quackery whereas subhuman easterners still believe in it.

>>133947782
Because of objective reality

Please try cupping instead of an angiogram after an MI or try cupping instead of vancomycin when you get c. Diff. Lemme know how that works out for you

It helped alleviate some of my back pain.
