A system is only as good as the people who operate it.

Yin Chiao is for exterior conditions and few colds and flu in recent years have begun with Taiyang symptoms. Often the problem begin deeper. This year, again, according to the 5-Element Revenge Cycle, colds and flu will not start at Taiyang, but rather the Shaoyang and/or Taiyin depth. Those who apply Yin Chiao will get some minor symptomatic relief or placebo but not a significant change--like prescribing antibiotics for the common cold. P.S. I was listening to your AAOM lecture from the CD they provided with membership. Great stuff. Jim Ramholz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
