RE: TCM in China/ was Cold antibiotics

 

Jason,

As you know, I haven't been to China. And beauty is in the eyes of the

beholder. And the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. It sounds

like Dagmar had a bad experience in China. And, yes, many practitioners,

including myself are very concerned about the direction TCM seems to be

taking in China. I have d to several journals from the Chinese

schools, and most of the articles are based on western diagnostics with

some herbal treatment. Also, you must read Manfred Porkert's book,

" Debased " . The lead article is available on his website,

www.phainon.com. He is an honorary instructor at a TCM college, and he

confirms much of what Dagmar states. Read it and get back to me.
