举报假新闻“美国首次认同中医药学为独立科学体系”
·方舟子·
国内现在正在打击假新闻,我现在举报,《人民日报》2007年8月3日刊登的“美国首次认同中医药学为独立科学体系”就是一条欺骗国人的假新闻。FDA发布的指导性文件原文见:
http://www.fda.gov/cber/gdlns/altmed.pdf
文件中只有两处提到中医,都是和印度草医放一块的,翻译如下:
“‘补充与另类医学’一词涵盖许多种医疗实践、产品和疗法,它们与‘常规’或‘对抗疗法’医学的实践、产品和疗法有显著的差异。有些形式的补充与另类医学,例如中医和印度草医,已被实践了数百年,而其他的,例如电疗法,则是更晚近才出现的。”(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(国家补充与另类医学中心)把完整医药体系描述为涉及‘与对抗疗法(常规)医学独立地或平行地演变的完整的理论和实践体系’。这些可能反映了独特的文化体系,例如中医和印度草医。”(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.)
这不过指出了众所周知的事实,即中医和印度草医类似,与“常规医学”(现代医学)存在显著差异,有数百年的历史,是一个独特的文化体系。哪里认同中医是个“科学体系”?哪里有“科学”一词?哪里表明FDA接受了中医药理念和治疗功能?难道中国中医科学院认为FDA像中国药监局那样是可以用阴阳五行胡扯就糊弄过去的?
FDA的这份文件还特地指出,不可因为文件中提到某种疗法、实践或产品就认为FDA在支持它(any mention of a particular CAM therapy, practice, or product should not be construed as expressing FDA's support for or endorsement of that particular CAM therapy, practice,or product or, unless specified otherwise, as an agency determination that a particular product is safe and effective for its intended uses or is safe for use.),大概就是料到了可能会有骗子要拿这份文件骗人。中国中医科学院陈可冀院士是因为英文水平太差看不懂这份文件,还是有意造谣欺骗国人?这是不是再次证明了中医的“国际地位”是靠谎言打造的?
