I'm listening to blue-grass traditional music on the radio. The first

thought I had was, " this is the REAL country music " . Not modern. Is

Garth Brooks Real Country? Does Led Zeppelin really play the blues? Its

all going to be opinion from here on in. From those that say that

Chinese/Country Music/Medicine has always integrated new things

therefore the modern is traditional to those that say that the only the

traditional is the Real thing.

I'm more than happy with CM on its own, I guess if you had to say, I'm

more artist than scientist. Or my art is more amorphous than

investigative. Something like that.

 

I think the " old doctor " was finding out what many travelers/immigrants

find. When I was in South America for several months, I saw how

" American " I was when I observed and interacted with several cultures

that were different yet had commonality. Even in the Indios/Indians I

saw how we shared certain cultural understandings.

Conversly, in New York City many of my Latin American friends mentioned

how they discovered they were really Argentenian or Cuban or Mexican

after moving to a place where all the cultures from these places and

their differences and similarities mixed and mingled.

I think the old doctor was finding both the traditional and Chinese in

TCM.

CM from a WM perspective.

I am curious if he found this liberating or frustrating.

Hi ! To prevent blood clots, eat much fresh pineapple.

And to help reduce the scarring, prunes and dates are helpful,

especially if you hold a magnet over the area while eating.
