Guest guest Posted February 13, 2001 Report Share Posted February 13, 2001 According to Steve Clavey, this is quite incorrect. Clavey reiterates over and over again in his " Fluid Physiology in TCM " that pathogens can NEVER be turned back into vital essences. They must be transformed and removed. In Pearls from the Golden Cabinet (Heiner Fruehauf w/ Subhuti Dharmananda) on Fu Ling: " The functional nature of Fuling transforms stomach phlegm-rheum into useful body fluids... " Also, I may have misunderstood, but my teacher Guohui Liu taught that the aromatic herbs that transform dampness turn it into Qi. ============================== Peter L.
