Guest guest Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Todd- It seems that the most important areas you've pointed out regarding new reinterpretations of the concept of Jing regard gene therapy for cell regeneration in individual organs (islets of langerhans in the pancreas or heart tissue in heart disease, for example). Those are compelling examples to be sure. I assume that other examples would involve therapies designed to modify very specific, single genes at this point. However... What do you think of the likelihood that these new " jing-therapies " might be helpful in affecting the underlying causes of systemic imbalance (those besides lifestyle issues- if it's even possible to separate). In other words, are the evolving models used to apply these therapies complex enough to take into account all of the systemic effects of the treatment? Are they complex enough to remedy the multi-organ imbalances that might cause the condition to recur a few years down the road? Is it as simple as " replacing the parts " ? Where's the room for fine tuning? It might help us all to remember that the models of CM provide helpful windows into that complexity. Might they inform this discussion? Couldn't pass this up (no hard feelings).......... wrote- " " When the lame walk and the blind see, you have to take heed even if there is only >>>oneexample. Sounds like an admission of faith to me. Can I get a witness? respectfully, Jason Robertson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
