I believe that whatever is correct for the patient in terms of their patterns will strengthen the zheng qi. I did not mean to suggest that supplementation therapy is what is called for in every case. This will generally require a well crafted strategy of draining and supplementation. the bullet wound analogy is an interesting one. I hadn't thought of the incompatible materials as being overwhelming to normal zheng qi, but perhaps Stephenis right. If so, my question would be whether ALL people with mixed materials react or just those who are hypersensitive. If it is only the latter, then I would suggest that the internal imbalance is more important than the material in the mouth. Same with EM fields, food allergies, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
