You have a very strange and lopsided view of western medicine and TCM.

Almost as though you see things from a good/evil perspective or an

enlightened/unenlightened way of seeing the world.

 

Obviously I am passionate for and a strong supporter of TCM --- that's my

career. However, your comments always raise my hackles. It's almost as

though you have a pseudo - religious take on TCM.

Mark, please don't attack Jean. If you have a reaction, talk about that

instead of telling her what she thinks or sees. I personally think Jean's

comments are provocative and refreshing, and to me, they provide an

interesting view into her culture.

Hi, Every one,

 

I think it time to balance the situation.

I didn't mean the WM approach is not good.

I mean , when you see another culture, please standing

on objective ,do not use your background assume that

every thing ,every culture, every person should act as

what you know(or your culture). Actually, There are

too many un-know in the universal.

 

If you only accept the only thing(scientific

evidences) is civilization, that must be an

self-limitation of learning and development.

I agree. Along with using the tools of modern science, we must try to

understand Chinese medicine in its original context.

Yes,You are 100% correct.But,According the rule of

scientific research,when you exam two groups or

compare with two groups,you also have to put both

of them in a equal position.

 

Now,You know 100% of your WM culture,and maybe only

understand 20-30% of TCM culture and you claim your

examination is correct.I might say,It is not correct ,

because There are too many bios in your experiment.

Jeansu,

Almost as though you see things from a good/evil perspective or an

Western medicine does some things better than the best of us. It also does

many things much worse than the most average of our profesion. One of that

system's strong suites is it's ability to measure success beyond anecdote

and in fairly broad swathes of the population --- something that Chinese

medicine doesn't do at all, or at least prior to western medicine's

incursion into China.

 

For our patients' sake it behooves us to learn from their system and use to

make our own better. And for the sake of covering my butt on this group ---

it also is essential to constantly make reference to and investigate further

the classic texts of our profession which inform us of our predecessors

investigations.

I am sorry, I have to disagree with you here, Mark.

 

I don't find Jeansu's attitude strange or lopsided at all. . . .or good

vs. evil

 

I think that those of us who " defend " classical Chinese medicine are

forced to overstate the case because it seems to be a minority

viewpoint. And the problem with a minority viewpoint is that one has to

shout to be heard, because it is possible that what is most valuable in

Chinese medicine will be swept away by the tide of biomedicine.

 

For example, see our discussion last week on " using Chinese medicinals

and acumoxa according to biomedical theory " .

You guys (and girls) need to chill out. We are all " present " on the

list. Please do not write about people on the list in the third

person. Address them directly. As to gender, who cares? I bet some

of you even wonder what I look like. A little mystery is fun, eh?

Let's play nice.
