Americans have ***finally*** discovered that cold medicines are ineffective for children, and the timing of this realization is surprisingly early! The "decongestants for nasal congestion, antihistamines for allergies, and antitussives for coughs" mentioned in the text are the most commonly used Western medicines for colds. These drugs, which mask surface symptoms, do not actually improve the course of the illness. Instead, they interfere with and suppress the immature immunity of children, allowing viruses and bacteria to thrive without resistance and settle in the children's bodies for a long time. This is essentially covering up the problem and deceiving oneself!

The misuse of cold medicines has also led to a significant increase in the number of children who are prone to colds (though the colds are never truly cured), children with allergies, leukemia, and other immune system deficiencies. These cases have grown several times in recent years, and it is believed that these issues will be exposed in the future. As for the children who have taken large amounts of cold medicine in the past, isn't it a great injustice? Who will compensate for the damage already done to their bodies?

Although modern medicine has adorned and armed itself with technology, its true capability is currently limited to controlling and masking surface symptoms. Not a single chronic disease can be truly cured by modern medicine (without the need for ongoing medication). Why? Because modern medicine's understanding of the human body is still at a very basic and one-sided stage; it remains an incomplete and immature field of study. Naturally, it can only manage superficial symptoms and cannot cure diseases at their root.

Modern medicine is constantly changing, always discarding and negating old theories, which indicates that what was believed in the past was wrong, and what will be believed in the future may not be correct either. Only traditional Chinese medicine, which has remained unchanged for thousands of years and is already a complete system, can truly cure diseases without the need for lifelong medication.
