Abstract

A discussion on “Is traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) really relevant?” was held in the University College London (UCL) on the afternoon of 31st March, 2015. The author summarized some core viewpoints of the participants and then tried to focus on the opponent’s opinions to clear up the arguments by illustrating respects of history, knowledge learning process, evidence based medicine (EBM) and strengths of TCM. This article will propose that the human health is extremely delicate and complicated and that no system of medicine can resolve all the problems of the human body. Each medical system from each culture has its strengths and defects, but a combination of different approaches is a good theoretical background.
