How to evaluate a TCM claim pàn duàn · 如何判断一个中医说法

Five questions cut through most marketing: What exactly is being claimed — a feeling, a mechanism, or a cure? Who says so, and do they sell the thing they are praising? Is there a source you can open, or only a testimonial? Does the claim involve a diagnosis of your condition? Are they promising a result that no treatment can guarantee?

Being sceptical about claims is not the same as dismissing a tradition. It is how you tell a careful practitioner from a salesperson.
