Did Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, really say that "there are eight things that cannot be cured by practicing medicine"?

Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, did not have "eight incurable diseases". This is just a rumor. The saying that there are eight incurable diseases after practicing medicine was written in the propaganda of traditional Chinese medicine health clubs, and it was not passed down by Sun Simiao. The eight incurables mentioned by their merchants are: those who do not believe in doctors will not be treated; those who do not follow the doctor's instructions will not be treated; those who doubt doctors will not be treated; those who are duplicitous will not be treated; those who are fickle and impatient will not be treated; those who are self-righteous will not be treated. People will not be treated; people who value money and underestimate their illness will not be treated; people who are terminally ill will not be treated.

It seems that there is no basis for this eight-in-one treatment. This is definitely not what a person with medical qualifications should say. It is simply very ridiculous. This is simply deceiving people and has no scientific basis.

Sun Simiao was a famous medical scientist in the Tang Dynasty and has always been called the "King of Medicine". Sun Simiao attached great importance to folk medical experience. During his medical practice, he continued to visit and pay attention to field inspection experience. When he encountered information that was helpful to him, he recorded it in a timely manner. He wrote the famous "Qianjin" Essential Prescriptions".

Sun Simiao People should pay attention to their bodies in advance to prevent the occurrence of diseases. At the same time, he also advocated personal hygiene and advocated that people should do more exercise. At the same time, he also proposed dietary therapy and medication to prevent and treat diseases. This shows that Sun Simiao is a very sensible person, and it is impossible for him to say such a very rude thing.

So these eight incurable diseases are just rumors that are deceived by merchants in traditional Chinese medicine clinics and have no scientific basis at all. I hope we all have a degree of discernment and don't just take what others say as truth.
