2. Medical claims

Bian Que attaches great importance to the prevention of diseases. Judging from the case of Cai Huangong, the reason why he repeatedly advised early treatment was because he had the idea of ??preventing the disease in the bud. He believes that it is necessary to take pre-emptive measures to eliminate diseases in the bud, so as to achieve twice the result with half the effort. He once pointed out with emotion: There are many types of objectively existing diseases, but doctors suffer from too few methods to treat them.
