Be that as it may, it does not even remotely prove that what is missing

would significantly improve one's practice over one based on what we have.

More is not always better. If one is selective, one can always choose

accurate information. then the game becomes applying the information you

have. You claim the information is incomplete and this in and of itself

makes it inaccurate. But again I point out that one can apply this data

allopathically with succcess and there is no evidence that increasing

levels of sophistication in theroretical textbook knowledge translates to

increased clinical efficacy. Your argument is logical on paper, but

unclear if valid in reality. It is interesting that you claim to have

read all that is in english and found it lacking. this clearly shows that

you are quite different than me who has barely scratched the surface in

the past 15 years and continually finds the existing english literature

both useful and inspiring.

 

Diagnosis is made by collecting and assessing signs and symptoms.

treatment is derived directly from this process. It is not near as

mysterious or complicated as some would have it. I have found that beyond

a certain point of studies, one begins to see the bizarre, arcane and

mysterious in every patient . But like all medicine, the sound of hooves

is usually horses, not zebras. On those occasions when the " zebras " come

stampeding over the horizon, I will gladly refer to the " zebra " experts

out there. But standard TCM seems just dandy for " horses " .
