Marco:

 

" simple " very few people actually bothered and or could not go to Macao and

other Asian countries in the 70´s in part because the " idea " was not

there...

 

Also it was and still is an aspiration that Chinese medicine is Alternative

(and I am not talking about resent thread that Ted plant this in his books

for the PUBLIC) I am talking about the so call intuitive part, many are the

times I hear that Chinese medicine is empirical and intuitive if it only was

so straightforward as this ALL THE WORLD WOULD BE DOING CHINESE MEDICINE BY

NOW...

It is scary when you posted this message I was lamenting out loud:

 

Why does no body sincerely want to study in Guatemala my poor other half had

to hear my cries of desperation (no joke).

 

Although I am not as advance as those on this list in a way things are

relative so in a way in Guatemala " I am " I am having a challenge of finding

someone that actually wants to really try to study to there best frontiers.

 

Next year yet again hoping to get a class going but I can see it in front of

me:

 

But dr. so so and so so talk about symptoms and points and I good for you

 

What will you do when " bl 57 " does not work for haemorrhoids?

 

Blame the medicine and or investigate/learn other possibilities? (do they

exist? do see what I mean about being a " better " practitioner now?)

Marco:

So how can we prevent this situation in Guatemala before it really takes

root?
