theory?

[Guest guest]

Subhuti Dharmananda has often referred to chinese medical theory in recent

years as dogma, rather than theory. As Bob Felt has pointed out,

the assessment of clinical efficacy and viability of medical concepts in

Chinese history has been more dependent on cultural factors than upon actual

proven success in treatment. Theories are models of reality that

have a preponderance of evidence to support them, while dogma are models

that become accepted for a variety of reason, which may or may not include

actual proof of efficacy.
