Guest guest Posted October 16, 2001 Report Share Posted October 16, 2001 >> " the practice of Western medicine with substances that originated in China. " >> I couldn't agree more that this is extremely frustrating. What I don't understand is why TCM schools are so blatantly moving towards this style of teaching. Where I graduated from (Pacific, NY) they have changed all the OM classes into categories of Western diseases. Students are being taught the " 7 TCM patterns of asthma " and the " 4 TCM patterns for infertility, " etc. Students are taught to memorize these patterns and fit their patient's diagnosis into one of them. What ever happened to holism in our medicine? Students coming out of school are going to be practicing Western medicine with Chinese herbs and acupuncture. Why even bother teaching " Chinese medicine " if one is only equipping students to treat western diseases (i.e., disease names and not symptom pattern complexes incorporating tongue, pulse and the 4 exams)?

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2001 Report Share Posted October 16, 2001 Hi,ross, >I couldn't agree more that this is extremely frustrating.What I don't understand is why TCM schools are so blatantly moving towards this style of teaching.< Because they want to cover their uninformed of TCM. I am chinese,I got good talent of ancient chinese language.I leanr I-Ching by myself when I was 19 years old.I also learned TCM by myself since I was 26 . I have no any teacher to teach me Pulse Diagnosis and TCM herbal formula , I figure them out by reading many many books and think about it,feeling about it.Someday,All of sudden,I realize how it work. After decade studying TCM,now,I know I am just standing in the front door of TCM library ,I even not enter the TCM room yet.TCM need to spend 30-50 years to study with(whole your life).So,Why we alwas saying " good TCM doctors are always aging. " Compare with my experience,I really wonder if people standing on the western shoes while they learn TCM acupuncture and herbal formula and others,which are part of our culture,How deep(or ,high degree) can he reach TCM? >Where I graduated from (Pacific, NY) they have changed all the OM classes into categories of Western diseases.Students are being taught the TCM patterns of asthma and the TCM patterns for infertility, Students are taught to memorize these patterns and fit their patient's diagnosis into one of them. What ever happened to holism in our medicine?< I would like to repeat again.TCM is Marco System to treat patient's deseases,which can't not be standardized<they are not Micro system.(Japanese try 100s years to standize our herbal formula and they never work until now.They also can't reach the ability to create herbal formula for ever because standardized TCM will distoriy and killing TCM.Not even mentioned about Korean. They only can focus on some single herb and boasted the effectiveness of those healthy food to make lots of money.Like,Ling-hzu,ginkgo leaf which TCM rare to used to be a cure drugs.These herbs are good to make money but not drugs can let people prolong and gain long life. I would like to suggest ,if who want to learn TCM very well, 1.Learning chinese language and words ASAP and AB(best)AP. 2.try to cross the culture gap of western and eastern. 3.jump out the WM views to study TCM. 4.Think more and feeling more of TCM theory by your heart while you study TCM. 5.asking questions. WM and TCM should respect each other, not control or dominated by some one who think he is powerful then TCM.Those treasures are in the Library of TCM. >Students coming out of school are going to be practicing Western medicine with Chinese herbs and acupuncture. Why even bother teachingChinese medicine if one is only equipping students to treat western diseases (i.e., disease names and not symptom pattern complexes incorporating tongue, pulse and the 4 exams)?< They are wrong!!!

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2001 Report Share Posted October 17, 2001 Hi,Susan, Thank you for your suport!I would like to provide more if I got chance.And ,If I offense any one or any racial of you,Please forgive my rough. I also want to provide an idea about learning TCM:Be simple ,because there are too many meterials since 1000s years ago.Read the articles and abstract the important part and keep it in your mind.Next time ,when you meet same situation,think about the theory and the abstract,compare it with reality. You will get progress if you read and think and use it in TCM process.

Ross >> Why does it have to be one way or another? As far as I can see, the blending of both modalities is inevitable. We get to get used to that. There are certainly benefits to Chinese medicine, and there are also benefits to being able to talk thearapy to someone in the Western culture in terms that they can understand and will follow. It is going to be up to the individual Acupuncturist to utilize the best of both modalities and choose which will be most effective for each patient. Progress isn't always good. It isn't always bad either. I have faith that this blended medicine that will take hold in time is going to be a positive step forward in patient health.

I don't think your view is correct.It is not blending, it is consulting,WM consult TCM,or TCM consult WM in the future.Unless,the WM experts cross the culture gap,like we go study abroad in US or Europe,we need to pass TOFEL and GRE,and really understand TCM at least 90%-95% by reading and study ancient TCM articles,then,he might qualified blending these two huge theory in to one. >We get to get used to that. There are certainly benefits to Chinese medicine, and there are also benefits to being able to talk thearapy to someone in the Western culture in terms that they can understand and will follow. If western society people really can feel the benefitial of TCM,and according my understand,western society only use 10% or 15% of TCM(both Acupuncture and herbal formula and others) which we really daily used both in Mainland and Taiwan,Western people should try to fine the way how to gain at least 80-90%'s of TCM ability,not rely on some or few WM experts+ a little be TCM's text books which only can provide 10-20% TCM.(I am sorry I have to say in this way,I only speek the truth) After you use 10-20% TCM ability to cure patient which you only learned so far and find out that TCM has no function or even,harm the patient ,and the reason is because you didn't really gain the TCM skills completely.Then, you turn back to accuse the TCM is uncivilization or malfunction.And you set the conclusion that WM is much excellent then TCM.It's not fare for both TCM and patients. >It is going to be up to the individual Acupuncturist to utilize the best of both modalities and choose which will be most effective for each patient. Western society always think Acupunctureist =TCM. Actually,It is not.Acupuncture is only a simple tool to bring to every where in ancient China becasue the doctors wandered every where to do TCM practice,and acupuncture is much convenience then other treatment.They also pick herbs us every where,use stuffs what they can pick up around or can find around,so,TCM is flexible,not standize. And I would like to provide another idea to make you guys get impress,ancient TCM acupuncturist are also excellent Qi-Kun masters,too.When the patient's Qi is quite weak,The master using Ne-Kun push Ne-Qi into the point to get through(connecting) the other point through niddle(or other media stuff) and the Qi will go as the master would like the Qi to go(through the chennel).How many of you can do acupuncture in this way???Ha!!Ha!Ha! And it had better for you not try to do acupuncture on this way because sick-Qi will fighting back if your Ne-Qi(you body healty Qi) is not strong enough.That's why acupuncturist always have to practice Qi-Kun.Ha!! Like I am telling the fairy tale now.Haaaa! >Progress isn't always good. It isn't always bad either. For WM,maybe yes, because Antibiotics hurt people's immue system and organs.There are foumulae to prevent anthrax or other Wen-Bin in TCM.Anti-biotic is not a good way. Call President Bush to ask Chair man Chung to provide some herbal formula for prevent the anthrax is better then use antibiotics.Those herbal formula is tested not bad.Ha!!Like soft herbal drinks if you add some rock sugar and it is humless. >I have faith that this blended medicine that will take hold in time is going to be a positive step forward in patient health. 100s years later?maybe,But,not now.
