Foss and Rothenberg's " Second Medical Revolution " looks at biomed's relationship to advanced physics. I know Z'ev has a review of it at the PCOM site.

I didn't mean science is catching up > with TCM. :-) > I had a moment, so I thought I would give an example. when I first started my formal nutrition studies in 1987, my cancer surgeon/stepgrandfather informed me that diet had nothing to do with cancer. Even though, at that time, there was already ample evidence in the peer reviewed literature to prove the opposite. Now, just 15 years later, no medical doctor would argue with this obvious connection. Not only are connections between specific diseases and diet well established (such as colon cancer and hifat, lofiber), but also it is generally accepted that diets high in antioxidants protect against most common cancers. there is debate whether antioxidant supplements confer this benefit or not, but there is no doubt that populations eating certain diets have lower cancer rates overall. this is currently part of orthodox medical thinking. But the science was always there on the side of diet. I call this medicine " cartching up " with science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
