Abstract:
The difference and similarity between the WEIQI theory of TCM and clinical nutrition theory of modern medicine (parenteral and enteral nutrition) was discussed. The application of two theories to clinical medicine have been extensive. The purposes are identical although they have different concepts and principles as well as methods, and two theories should be more helpful and useful if used simultaneously in practice.
