another thought on transmission (long)

[Guest guest]

Internal med itself was radically reorganized by the Kouhou school to a form where Chinese influence is detectable but the medicine has taken on very "Japanese" characteristics; this was done consciously because the influence of the Li-Zhu school and others was deemed to be so overly formalized that it was no longer useful.

Somehow I think this will happen, even is happening now, in the Americas --perhaps at an accelerated rate d/t information technology. Yes, we need to become ever more familiar with the root of our practice -- CM -- but I think it is folly to think that we will produce some faithful carbon-copy of CM in ANY other culture, China, Japan or what-have-you. We will produce what we as a society believe we need from our medicine.
