"To make Chinese herbal medicine scientific you have to identify the variables and eliminate them, then make the phenomenon recur under controlled conditions. Only then can you identify standard categories and establish effective courses of treatment along the lines of Western medicine, and go on to compare the relative strengths and weaknesses of the two," she says.
「中醫科學化就是要找出變數，去除變數，藉由控制，讓現象重覆出現，才能像西方醫學一樣整理出一套疾病分類的標準與有效的固定療法，進而與西醫比較，互相截長補短」，她說。
