Dear Z'ev: A Recent Research on Song-ban Shang-han Lun

[Guest guest]

Dear Z'ev and Shang-han Lunists: I translated Dr. Makizumi's presentation on the

Song-ban Shang-han Lun at the Japan Society of Oriental Medicine, last year and

submitted to NAJOM (North American Journal of Oriental Medicine), but

unfortunately it was rejected due to it is too specialized for the general

readers of NAJOM. It is too long to put all of it here.

Please refer to my website: Appendix 4: www.shanghanlun.us.

 

" Is the Shang-han Lun a Fabricated Book?

At the 2007 meeting of the Japan Society of Oriental Medicine, the most

prestigious organization of traditional medicine practitioners in Japan, Dr.

Makizumi Kazuhiro MD gave a shocking presentation on the Shang-han Lun (Harmful

Cold Treatise), the Bible of Japanese traditional medicine practitioners.

According to him, the most popular text of the Shang-han Lun is a

much-simplified version based on a text which was transformed in the Song

Dynasty era (960-1279). Thus, the content of the Shang-han Lun could be much

altered from the original text. The way Dr. Makizumi investigates and confirms

the evidence could be inherited from his father, who was a professor of forensic

medicine, and impresses us very much. I would like to introduce here his

presentation translating with minimal changes. "

Dear Dr.Shinjiro

I was wondering if there were any Chinese translations of Dr.Makizumi

Kazuhiro work regarding the Shang han Lun.

Thanks
