The Medical Guru - Chapter 1819
Chapter 1819 Fighting Back
It was a post that appeared on Weibo.
“Is Fang Qiu strict with others and lenient with himself?”
It was obvious that this post was targeting Fang Qiu.
Seeing the title of this post, Fang Qiu couldn’t help but be stunned. He was quite curious.
“How am I strict with others and lenient with myself?”
Full of curiosity, Fang Qiu quickly clicked on this post to view it.
When he read the post, he laughed at once.
“Recently, Fang Qiu is doing a show called Xiao Fang’s Lecture Room on Zhongzhou TV Station’s prime time slot. Judging from online discussions, this show seems to be quite popular. Basically, every netizen is commenting on this show, and there are even many interviews specifically focused on this show.
“From these interviews, it is evident that the recognition of Xiao Fang’s Lecture Room is very high, and everyone is especially thankful to Fang Qiu for doing such a show.
“However, I have a question here.
“Does everyone know the nature of this show?
“In other words, what is the purpose of this show? What is his main purpose for doing this show, and whether its content is consistent with what Fang Qiu said when applying for the show?
“To my knowledge, Xiao Fang’s Lecture Room was defined as a popular science program on Chinese Medicine when Fang Qiu applied for it, but based on the episodes that have been broadcast so far, it is clearly not the case.
“However, that’s not the point!
“Now, let’s talk about the content of this show.
“In the program, it seems reasonable to deny health products on the premise of their ingredients, but have you ever thought about why Fang Qiu can use a single component in health products to oppose the entire product, yet we have never seen him oppose traditional Chinese medicine?
“Obviously, the ingredients opposed by Fang Qiu on the show also exist in traditional Chinese medicine. So why does he only crack down on health products and not traditional Chinese medicine?
“So, according to Fang Qiu’s opinion, since there are related components in traditional Chinese medicine that he has opposed, can we use this to deny the efficacy and functions of these traditional Chinese medicines?
“In this way, the traditional Chinese medicines that contain the components opposed by him are all just a fraud, which means that Chinese Medicine is pseudoscience!”
Such a post popped out of nowhere.
Fang Qiu hadn’t seen it on the Internet before the start of the show. But when the show was over, the post had been reposted more than 100,000 times on Weibo.
It was very obvious that this post was made when Fang Qiu was doing the second episode.
Then, who posted it?
Fang Qiu carefully checked it, but he couldn’t find the source of the post at all. The original poster wasn’t shown.
When he finally found the original post, he found that it had been deleted.
However, all kinds of reposts later spread wildly as if they were to occupy the entire platform.
Logically speaking, this kind of post would not have attracted the public’s attention.
However, as the number of reposts increased sharply, all kinds of paid Internet trolls began to repost and comment crazily.
“It sounds very reasonable.”
“That is to say, Fang Qiu has been proven strict with others, right?”
“He deserves to be called a top figure in the Chinese Medicine industry. I guess this kind of strict style should have been passed down from those Chinese Medicine seniors.”
“I feel that Fang Qiu has gone too far this time.”
“When I first watched Xiao Fang’s Lecture Room, I thought it would be a casual and pleasant show, something like a monologue comic talk, but I was wrong. I found that this was simply a roast of Fang Qiu alone. He’s roasting everything that influences Chinese Medicine, but when it came to Chinese Medicine, he only said that it was awesome. I admit that I was wrong about Fang Qiu.”
“Since he said on the show that those components are useless, why can’t he explain how those useless components in traditional Chinese medicine work?”
“That’s right. He should explain that.”
“He’s roasting others while advertising traditional Chinese medicine. He’s really shameless.”
“This double standard is so disgusting.”
The paid Internet trolls were criticizing Fang Qiu crazily.
In any case, they were the ones who spread this post. Of course, they had to make it livelier and attract more attention.
With what the paid Internet trolls were doing, the Chinese Medicine anti-fans who had been suppressed by Fang Qiu also began to take action.
“Chinese Medicine is pseudoscience.”
“That’s right. Fang Qiu has made a fool of himself now.”
“Every health product on the market contains traditional Chinese medicine components. According to Fang Qiu’s words, all these traditional Chinese medicines are useless. Since they are useless, they don’t have the effect of curing diseases and saving lives. Isn’t this a scam?”
“If the health products that contain traditional Chinese medicine can’t even achieve the most basic health care, how can we use traditional Chinese medicine to cure diseases? What kind of logic is this?”
“Pay attention, everyone. This is a scam of Chinese Medicine.”
“Chinese Medicine is pseudoscience and a scam. I hope you won’t be deceived again!”
…
When Fang Qiu read the post and the slanderous comments made by the paid Internet trolls and Chinese Medicine anti-fans, his face immediately darkened.
He didn’t even need to think much to know that this post must have been made by the people from those healthcare product promotion companies.
Those people seemed to know that bribing Fang Qiu’s acquaintances was not working. They were now ready to confront Fang Qiu head-on.
Without delay, Fang Qiu immediately turned on the computer in the hotel.
Then, he began to type quickly and edited a Weibo post that contained various pictures.
He saved the pictures on his phone.
After that, he logged into Weibo with his mobile phone and made a post.
“Here’s my reply to the questions raised by the paid Internet trolls.”
Fang Qiu directly posted on Weibo with those pictures attached.
“Although traditional Chinese medicine has gone through various changes over thousands of years, in theory, it is a very perfect study. It remains after thousands of years, indicating that traditional Chinese medicine can withstand the test of time.
“One thousand and eight hundred years ago, Zhang Zhongjing prescribed a medicine, the capillary artemisia.
“Today, doctors of Chinese Medicine will also prescribe that medicine.
“It’s the same thing.
“From this, it can be seen that traditional Chinese medicine is everlasting.
“The theory of traditional Chinese medicine adopts real herbology, and traditional Chinese medicine is about how drugs work on the human body.
“To put it simply, traditional Chinese Medicine is informatics.
“Why can we use traditional Chinese medicine to cure diseases?
“We often see that some people talk about the chemical compositions of Chinese medicine. For example, Artemisia annua contains artemisinin, Chuanjiao contains Chuanjiaozine, and Salvia divinorum contains tanshinone. This is not traditional Chinese medicine. The formal name of traditional Chinese medicine is herbology, and the study that focuses on chemical compositions is pharmacognosy.
“Then, what is pharmacognosy?
“Pharmacognosy is the study of Western Medicine. It’s about the chemical composition of natural botanicals. It’s completely different from traditional Chinese Medicine!
“Traditional Chinese Medicine is not about chemical compositions, because thousands of years ago, when our ancestors used traditional Chinese medicine, chemical compositions weren’t applied.
“Since so, how does traditional Chinese medicine work to cure diseases?
“Chinese Medicine cures diseases with the elements of nature.
“For example, coptis has cold elements, and monkshood has heat elements. We use these elements to treat diseases.
“So, to put it simply, traditional Chinese medicine is to use the nature of drugs to treat the diseases of the human body. Normal people wouldn’t suffer from heat or cold poisoning.
“If you catch a cold, it means that you’re suffering from coldness poisoning. Then, you can use monkshood, which contains the heat elements, to treat your coldness poisoning.
“If your body gets inflamed, it means that you’re suffering from heat poisoning. Then, you can use coptis to treat the disease. This is how we use the elements of the drugs to treat diseases!”
After Fang Qiu sent this post on Weibo, he paused for a moment and pondered.
Then, he made another post.
“I can bet with anyone who says that traditional Chinese medicine doesn’t work. We can have a field demonstration!”
As soon as he posted it, there was an uproar on Weibo.
Fang Qiu’s fans all supported him, and all the neutral netizens also made comments.
However, the comments this time seemed to be different from before.
It was because people were actually instigating those who argued with Fang Qiu.
It seemed that Fang Qiu’s fans and the netizens who were ready to watch the show seemed to have become paid Internet trolls of another team.
“I dare you to bet with Fang Qiu. Since you’re making so much sense, he will surely lose.”
“Yeah. If you can, defeat Fang Qiu!”
“Don’t back down. Fang Qiu is definitely no match for you this time. Go and challenge him.”
“Fang Qiu has made a fool of himself. Aren’t you going to hit him hard?”
The more they talked, the more excited they became.
One after another, they mentioned the paid Internet trolls and Chinese Medicine anti-fans, hoping that they could accept the challenge and fight back against Fang Qiu.
After all, they really hadn’t seen Fang Qiu roast someone for a long time. They really wanted to see him do it now.
Yet, things did not go as smoothly as they had imagined.
Countless people made a fuss below Fang Qiu’s post on Weibo for a whole day. They were looking for those who had challenged Fang Qiu before and instigating them to stand out and argue with him.
However, no one accepted the challenge.
“You’re not that cowardly, are you?”
“It’s been a day, and there’s no one who dares to accept the challenge?”
“Accept the challenge now!”
“These people are too timid. When Fang Qiu doesn’t speak, they do their best to slander him. But when Fang Qiu speaks, they are all cowards and don’t even dare to answer.”
Everyone was disappointed.
It seemed that they couldn’t see the wonderful show he had imagined.
On the other side.
Seeing that their method didn’t work, the bosses of the healthcare product promotion companies all got anxious.
It was indeed a good way to use the paid Internet trolls on the Internet, but they forgot that Fang Qiu was really talented and knowledgeable. He had cured all kinds of diseases.
There was no way for others to confront him head-on.
With someone taking the lead, the bosses of several healthcare product promotion companies helplessly set off overnight for the first time and held a meeting.
