西医以实证科学为基础，以分解、还原为主要方法，分工越来越精细，获得了许多医学上的成就，也治愈了许多疾病，但是强调治病，对人的因素重视不够，在维护整个人体健康方面遇到了某些困惑。 中医把人看成“天、地、人”三位一体的整体，从辨证恒动的观点出发，以实践为基础，实施综合、整体治疗，也获得许多医学上的成就，治愈了许多疾病，但是主要凭感觉，取象比类等方法诊治病人，缺乏实证科学的基础。 半个多世纪以来，提倡中西医结合，有一定成效。在钱学森系统科学思想的指导下，依照“突破还原论，发展整体论，达到两者辩证统一的系统论”的哲学理念，提出了中西医的结合点——人体生态系统。人体生态系统是以人体系统为中心与人体之外的环境构成一个整体的复杂系统，针对“人”是一个开放的复杂巨系统，运用综合集成创新的思路，提出了创建新医学——人体生态医学的构想。

Western medicine is based on demonstration science,  and features returning to the original condition.  The division of work is becoming increasingly fine.  There are many achievements in the medicine and cure of illness.  But it always cures illness by dissevering human body. It emphasizes cure while ignoring hominine.  So Western medicine has puzzled itself about how to stick up for whole human body.  Intraditional Chinese medicine,  diagnosis and treatment is based on an overall analysis of the illness and the patient's condition,  which is dialectical and reasonable. It takes heaven, earth and man as an integral whole. There are also and many achievements in the medicine and cure.  Traditional Chinese medicine relies on numeral,  imaging and feeling,  and lacks scientific logos and demonstration science. Combination of the Western and Chinese medicines has been advocated for more than half century, but determinate effects are limited.  The authors, guided by Dr.  Qian Xuesen's idea on systemic science and in accordance to the concept of "break through reduction theory,  develope integer theory,  and achieve both of them with a uniform to systemic theory" ,  advance to establish a new medicine,  that is "Human Body Ecological Medicine" .
