There were impressive results with both but the sham group actually did much better. Because this seemed " illogical " , they stopped doing either procedure! (Chapter 7- The Return of Ritual) also could people please edit and only send back relevant parts of the posts they are responding to- my files for this group have gotten really, really big.

Interpretations are generally added as commentary, not as replacement text. Many of these views reflect mainstream positions, so it is not surprising that they would reflect some pro-communist bias. But mostly they simply attempt to explain the meanings of ancient ideas form modern perspectives. All practioners of TCM trained in the PRC are taught to read classical Chinese. So commentaries do not obstruct access to source material, they amount to little more than an airing of views. Unschuld is himself airing views that seem to reflect mainstream German positions and mainstream sociological theory. Is he doing this because he has been coerced, or because these views make sense to him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 19, 2002 Report Share Posted September 19, 2002 Dorothy, The flaxseed oil must be mixed with cottage cheese to be effective. Search for Dr. Budwig on this.

Dear Lorenzo, i did mix it all together, with a fork, but it still did no good. I seem to be one of the few people that some pills and remedies don't work for. Regards, Dorothy.
