Geovani,

 

My e-mail program (Eudora Light) does not seem to have a UTF-7 option.

You should be able to see below what strange codes your posts contain.

Paul's point is that neither acupuncture specifically nor Chinese medicine

generally -- nor biomedicine -- are accepted because they are efficable but

because they fit the congitive aesthetics of their time. No pre-modern lay

Chinese, any more than a modern Westerner, had a working knowledge of

how effective the treatments they received may have been at scale. Both

yin-yang and the biological sciences stood as meaningful guarantees of

validity -- not because they are proven -- but because they are supported by

concurrent beliefs. In Paul's work all medicine is co-equal in these

regards. One of the great accomplishments of his study is that the

principles are applicable to medicine, not just CM or just WM, but the

human exercise we call medicine itself.

 

We Paul told the German AMA that they were no longer a profession

because they could no longer control their fees, he was applying the same

methods as when he said that the Chinese definitely do not consider CM

more efficable than WM .

 

> Can you elaborate on th historical mythologies you mentioned?

 

I think the most dangerous are the ideas that Chinese medicine exists as a

congruent intellectual monolith, or that there is a " true " Chinese medicine

that is THE sine qua non . This includes the idea that systematic

correspondences describe universal " truths, " rather than heuristic methods

of problem solving, as well as the idea that there is someone, or some

tradition that has access to an ultimate CM (and thus that others are

technically or morally inferior). Ironically, these notions assume that the

Chinese logic is identical to our own and thus disguise Chinese thinking. To

the contrary, Chinese thinking (about medicine or anything else) never

developed methods for removing from the corpus of knowledge that which

had been in some manner labeled as false. Traditional Chinese medical

logic has a tool box quality in which experts select a logical approach on a

case-by-case basis, choosing from among even contradictory principles as

the case demands.

 

> I quote again from his speech " Chinese

> case) " .

 

You are irritated by Dr. Unschuld because he has claimed that CM is not

more effective than CM. Correct? Well, make you case? Don't tell us what

you believe, tell us where on the planet you find evidence that any

population has found CM more effective, or has chosen it over WM given

equal access? If not in East Asian, where? And, East Asia, perhaps even

particularly China, has had no difficulty embracing WM, in part, as

Unschuld points-out, because the two forms share essential pinciples.

 

Consider, for example, surgery and public health -- two medical arts that

CM never fully developed despite very early intimations. While you may

complain of overuse, too quick use, or other over-valuation for surgery, or

you can complain that you do not hold to the germ theory on which public

health measures from city sewers to water purification are based, you

cannot dismiss that life expectancy, and the incidence of crippling and

debilitating illness, have been greatly ameliorated by the biosciences. The

fact that surgery and chemotherapy do not cure cancer handily does not

eliminate the fact that people do not die in vast numbers from cholera and

typhoid in any population where WM services can be afforded.

 

A certain humane humility in the face of biomedical accomplishment is

important because it is the root of the as yet un-made decision as to whether

we are presenting ourselves as offering an " alternative medicine " (one

capable of replacing biomedicine) or whether we offer a " complementary

medicine " (one to enhance and extend). The difference is critical. Is our

contest with the malfeasance and greed of doctors or is it with bioscience

itself?

 

There is no more possibility that everything in CM is useful than there is

possibility that nothing in CM is useful. Once that is admitted, the idea that

CM is valid because it is rooted in a set of universal, always-true principles,

must be abandoned along with the other easy justifications for its efficacy.

For example, the more we know about the intellectual history of CM, the

less we are able to say that CM has proven its efficacy by longevity. It has

proven the ability to adapt to changing circumstances and that implies that

a sufficient number of its clients percieve a benefit, which in turn implies

efficacy. However, the pretense that we do not have a case to prove to our

own populations has done us no good. Rather than bitching about Paul's

failure to provide lip-service to our preferred self-image, we should take his

clue that popular acceptance is rooted in the population's beliefs. People

are, in my opinion, ready to accept a longevous, practical medicine rooted in

human observation and experience.

Here I would tend to agree with Matt.

 

It is high time those who write and speak - especially before WM - resist the

esoteric rhetoric even though they have a relative point of logic.

 

Let's get to the bottom of reality.

 

I don't know anything about Paul but I suspect that he is not really a CM

practitioner......therefore how could he possibly write about it's efficacy?

History - ok. Truth about politics - ok. Truth about bastardization and

westernization - ok. truth about people selling their souls for some ego chips

or money

- ok. Components of people's psyche or what makes them tick - ok.

 

But put all that together in a bucket and it doesn't mean a hill of beans.

Lets talk about RESULTS....and practitioners like Matt, myself and thousands of

others GET real results...whereas WM is sucking wind..... especially in it's

inability to treat chronic diseases.

 

Bob.....when are certain people in certain positions going to be responsible

enough to CM to help show the real - day in and day out RESULTS. And please

don;t tell me that it can't be proven. That's pure foolishness. I've put the

challenge out there numerous times and major western medican universities RUN in

the opposite direction when I present the challenge for proof with BaGuaFa and

the simplest of myofascial syndromes called Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. One

couldn;t pick a more simpler complex to show the real results of TCM. When they

HEAR that some $20 billion could be saved - annually.....well now....that puts

some fear into them and off they run in the opposite direction. Kinda of

funny-interesting don;t you think? So let's TALK reality.

 

I have no interest in proving anything about Unschuld which may or may not be

true. What I have an interest in is showing all of the 'doubting thomases'

that they know nothing about what they speak. What comes out of their mouths is

nothing but drool and it is high time we do something about it.

 

What we can and should do.....between us all.....is work on a project to

prove up CM by real practitioners coupled with those who write. I am sure

Bob....you wouldn't mind writing about the real results which can be documented?

And I would say it might be a little more than JUST the points........it

might have more to do with certain certain strategic places in the body wherein

the tubes of flowing fluids & forces(qi) can be affected and bilaterally makes

sense. Travel jetlag for sure - stagnates both qi & fluids. One might consider

that this is opening up those pathways.

 

A comparison of sorts.....like when ones goes for arthroscopic knee surgery.

The surgeon should be telling the patient - if at all possible - to exercise

and build up the quads weeks before the surgery so they don;t lose as much

muscle mass. Then the recovery goes much better. Not exactly the same but you

get

the idea.

ANSWER: In my treatment rooms, and in the treatment facilities of thousands of

reasonably trained acupuncturists/CM practitioners, whose practices have grown

treating Western patients with plenty of access to Western medicine who have

found CM to work better for SOME of their real world problems.

 

I have read many of Unschuld's statements in which he credits the rise of CM in

the West to romanticized versions of history and existential fears of

environmental or energy concerns, but I have never heard him say that in certain

cases some CM techniques work better than WM techniques. Has Unschuld ever

acknowledged this? I hope I am wrong. Read the last line of his talk on Nature

" The increasing acceptance of is a question of people's

outlook on the world that will not disappear (bold mine) until the existential

anxieties and fears have dissolved or until the feeling arises that science and

technology takes these anxieties and fears seriously. "

 

This sounds to me like he is giving WM doctors/administrators advice on just

what it will take to make the acceptance of CM disappear. This does not sound to

me like an individual who finds anything of superior clinical value in CM at

all. In the Nature VS Chemistry talk, he is arguing against establishing any

sort of CM program at his university stating that " Those who exert such pressure

are unaware of the difficulties that such a move would involve. " While it is

true and valuable that Unschuld has shown that CM is not historically based on

one unified set of principals, these " problems " pale in comparison to the

clinical value CM techniques offer suffering people. This stuff works! Anyone

who believes this would worry about figuring out the history and theory concerns

to help his university figure out a way to teach some aspect of CM, to develop

some version of a CM program? Instead, at least to my reading of this speech,

he argues why this would cause too many " difficulties. "

 

I made to suggestion to Dr. Unschuld and to Bob Felt, that Unschuld publish an

interview in Acupuncture Today in which he could explain his views. He did this

in a German publication and is interested in doing this here. I may be way off

and reading him wrong and would like him to explain himself as I certainly have

questions. This would not be an attack, but an opportunity to respond in his own

Hi Richard, Matt and Bob,

 

In my state worker's comp doesn't allow for acupuncture from acupuncturists,

they can get AP from MD's, yet in the state of NSW, they can get AP from

acupuncturists. So when I get px's prepared to pay for AP when they can't get

benefit from mths of physio, I tend to think that there is more going on than

just a cultural preference / belife.

 

I have thought of a very basic AP study for jetlag, and wonder if it might be a

candidate Richard. The fundamental theory is to select the source point for the

old and new time zones. Then the traveller taps the two source pts on one side

of the body and then the other.

 

It is nice way to go with each person I have given this to finding that their

recovery time in the new time zone dramatically reduced. It is also very

simple. There could be a control of no tapping and a comparision to other

treatments, ie flower essences, vitamins or whatever. If / when it is shown to

be effective it also has a great deal to offer not just the traveller, but also

the flow on ie tourist doing more touring, business people possibly making

better choices, drivers not falling asleep at the wheel etc etc etc.

 

It also takes away from the question is it the practitioner? It directly tests

the theory of the pts selected... just a thought!

 

cheers
