回答: The ultimate way to put Traditional Chinese Medicine into trashbin of history 由 HunHunSheng 于 2006-3-02, 13:41:39:
COST vs. BENEFIT. Even traditional chinese medicine is practically useless, as long as the cost is very low and perceived benefit is adequate(can be measured by chance of curing the illness), there will still be a market of it. On the other hand, one can invent a super mordern medicince that may cure all diseases, but if its cost is beyond people's reach (not to mention there is no guarantee it will cure the disease), people will just ignore it.
