I first learned about Dr. Peng Xin after I entered university. A group of classmates who were passionate about Buddhism and traditional culture recommended him to me. I watched a few of his video clips back then and felt that we really needed someone to be talking about these things.
After moving to Beijing, I finally discovered the “Abstinence Forum” (戒色吧) and learned about Dr. Peng’s views on preserving essence and nourishing health. I have to say, they’re quite useful. But the atmosphere in the forum wasn’t great — quitting an addiction is much like drug rehabilitation, and without persistent self-reprogramming, it’s extremely difficult to succeed.
In recent years, since I began practicing clinically, I’ve heard more and more about him. People seem eager to know about Dr. Peng’s clinical skills — many want to seek treatment based on his reputation, and many have asked me directly.
The TCM community is small. We generally don’t comment on each other — it’s considered unethical.
First, I can say with certainty that Dr. Peng Xin earned his Ph.D. in Chinese Medicine from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine under Professor Fu Yanling. His credentials are genuine. Professor Fu is a nationally recognized expert with high standing in the field and excellent clinical outcomes.
Second, many people have asked whether Dr. Peng is affiliated with the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences. I looked into this specifically: after graduation, he worked at the Institute of Basic Theory of TCM within the Academy, holding the title of Assistant Researcher, roughly equivalent to an attending physician. However, he resigned a few years ago and is now presumably devoted entirely to serving the public.
Third, regarding what people care about most — his clinical ability — I won’t comment.
Fourth, the reason I’m writing this article is that one of my patients gave me a detailed account of his experience being treated by Dr. Peng. Apparently, Dr. Peng typically asks patients to sign a treatment commitment letter containing eight requirements. If they fail to follow them, the results may be disappointing. I posted these eight requirements on my social media, and my friends all agreed: if you can actually follow all eight, you probably won’t get sick in the first place.
I’ve always believed that in Chinese medicine, there’s an element of fate between doctor and patient. Clinical skill matters — perhaps accounting for about 70% of the outcome — but the remaining 30% is far more complex. It’s entirely possible that a disease that stumps the best physician in the country could be cured by a fresh graduate. Medicine is an extraordinarily complex discipline. I hope people won’t be too rigid in their judgments.
I hope Dr. Peng continues to do a fine job spreading TCM culture.

我知道彭鑫博士是上大学之后，周围有一票爱好学佛的和学传统文化的同学，他们向我推荐了他，那时候大概看了几段视频，觉得现在正需要有人讲这些东西。
到了北京之后，终于了解了戒色吧，了解到彭博士在养精养生方面的观点，可以说很有用，但是戒色吧里的感觉并不是太好，这个东西跟戒毒差不多，不成功洗脑是很难办到的。
最近几年正式坐诊之后听到的就越来越多了，大家似乎都想知道彭鑫博士的医术如何，很多人想慕名而去，也有很多人问我。
中医圈子很小，我们一般不互相评价，这是很不道德的。
首先可以很明确的说，彭鑫博士是北京中医药大学傅延龄教授的学生，中医博士学位，货真价实。傅老师是全国知名专家，圈内地位比较高，疗效很好。
第二，很多人问彭鑫博士是不是中医科学院的，这个我专门调查过，彭博士毕业后就在中国中医科学院中医基础理论研究所工作，职称是助理研究员，相当于主治医师，但是前几年已经辞职了，现在应该是全心全意为人民服务。
第三，人们最关心的是看病水平怎么样，不评价。
第四，我之所以写这篇文章是因为我的一个病人详细告诉我他之前在彭鑫博士那里的就诊经历，彭博士一般会让病人签署一张服药承诺，里面规定了八条要求，如果做不到疗效可能就不好。我把这八条发到了朋友圈里，我的朋友们都认为，如果做到了这八条，人是不会生病的。
我一向认为，中医看病讲究缘分，医术是一方面，大概占到了70%，其他30%影响疗效的部分很复杂，可能全国最好的医生看不好的病都能被一个刚刚毕业的学生看好，医学是个非常复杂的学科，希望大家不要偏执。
希望彭博士能够更好地传播中医文化。
