Agreed. While studying cadavers, my overwhelming impression was that if you think you had any idea what the inside of the body looks like in the flesh, you were probably wrong. The architecture is amazing. I recommend taking it for credit so you force yourself to actively identify the internal structures, not just observe.

Longevity lies in kidney yin tonics if per chance that is your weak link, me thinks. -- Al Stone L.Ac. <AlStone http://www.BeyondWellBeing.com Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2000 Report Share Posted July 25, 2000 A couple of months ago i picked up a small text on longevity practices in chinese medicine. I've packd it away somewhere so i can't say its nam. It wasn't particularly rigorous or scientific, but he mentions a story of one poor man, who forced to subsist on various roots ended up recovering from his health problems. He stuck to this diet and went on to live to 120 or so. the three roots he mainly ate were siberian solomon's seal, dioscorea, and adenophora. 1. could this be remotely true? 2. given it has a grain of truth, does this suggest the kernel of longevity lies in kidney yin tonics?
