Guest guest Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Usually I find that in treating the deficiency, one needle is better. In treating excess, more needles are better. To drain the excess feels more relaxing, but in treating the deficiency the disease is treated more effectively …… Are Thoresen Gisleröd N-3175 Ramnes arethore http://home.online/~arethore/ _____ Fra: På vegne av Sendt: 23. mai 2007 19:08 Til: Emne: Re: ref: one needle treatment Sorry, doc, but i really object, or should I say, have no interest in these explanations. I prefer to view the CM paradigm as complete and having no need of justification. Just to be nit-picking consider your sentence: " These " modern " theories are just now beginning to reveal the fact that meta-physical concepts that are thousands of years old are, indeed, rooted in reality. " I know that quoting is perhaps unfair but again, I consider CM reality enough. My interest in CM works for me because it expresses a world-body view that is more consistent with my own, not because it makes sense in the Western terms. " What the Bleep " and others represent a type of patronizing view of others cultures. The one needle approach isn't new-age, as has been astutely pointed out, is actually a more classical method. I just find that patients come in for more than just the disease but need the time to relax. Ironically, I find more needles help with this. Sorry, to be harsh, but I'll not censure my thoughts (this time) in order to get the point across.
