Guest guest Posted February 16, 2000 Report Share Posted February 16, 2000 Thanks for the welcome. I will begin using some Western philosophical terms, if that's ok.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2000 Report Share Posted February 16, 2000 >Thanks for the welcome. I will begin using some Western philosophical >terms, if that's ok. Thanks for replying and helping me test the system. Be very careful about using Western terms to describe Chinese concepts as the two rarely correspond. One of the first things you learn in TCM is that Western disease entities and medical conditions very rarely correspond to TCM syndromes. One of the few that does is the common cold, which in TCM is referred to as Wind Cold Attacking at the Exterior Level. (The TCM terminology is going to sound very strange at first, but the more familiar you get with it, the more it makes sense.) Most Western medical conditions do not correspond to TCM syndromes and at most are viewed as symptoms that can occur with various TCM syndromes. A good example is asthma. In the West asthma is viewed more or less as a uniform medical disorder for which the treatment is basically the same for all asthmatics. There may be some slight variations in treatment like also treating allergies if it's determined that they're a component of the asthma, but the same drugs and inhalers are standard treatment for all asthmatics. TCM reconizes that asthma can occur as a symptom of several different TCM syndromes. What TCM healers treat is not asthma, but the underlying TCM imbalance. Treatment among asthmatics will vary greatly in TCM because the underlying imbalances can be very different from person to person. In one person the root cause may lie in an imbalance in the Lung meridian (like Deficiency of Qi in the Lung or Lung Overheating) but in other cases the underlying imbalance may be in the Kidney meridian (as in Kidney Refusing to Grasp Qi). The treatment will be different in all 3 cases. BTW, doctors in modern China will not hestitate to use Western drugs to treat cases of asthma or any other medical problems that don't resolve satisfactory with TCM or to treat conditions where time is critical. In general, Western medicine is recognized as better at treating crisis situations and TCM as better at treating chronic conditions.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2000 Report Share Posted April 20, 2000 Hello All, I wanted to express how much I enjoy this group--I consider it a great gift--and I wanted you all to know especially Caroline how grateful I am-- I tend to lurk--There are a couple of reasons for this and I thought I'd share them with the thought that perhaps others have experienced the same sort of " phenomenon " I have always had an interesting relationship to anything technical or mechanical--I am working with this--something with my field--its gotten less intense recently as evidenced by the fact that this 2nd harddrive hasnt self destructed--I am in faith--watches always stop on me which is fine--but the big stuff like stereos blowing up and telephones apparently speaking in tongues can be a little disconcerting-- The way this applies to the lurking issue is that I find I can only spend a very limited time in front of this thing--I completely leave my body--its not daydreaming or thought wandering its leaving--I turn the thing on and within 5 minutes or so I'm gone--I look at the clock and an hour has passed--or 2--or 3-- So basically what this means is I have enough time to read the posts but then my limit seems to have alloted and I have no brain left with which to respond to anything-- So thats my little lurking story--its taken about 3 hours to compose-- I really am in acceptance of this--it simply is--I figure if this is meant to change it will--it doesnt affect my work--it seems the human energy feild is of a very different vibration and we get along famously--it feels like the technological vibrations seem sort of fast to me and we behave a little like oil and water-- So thats it for now-- Thank you for this forum--its so wonderful to connect with likeminded souls out there-- PEACE SAB ave At 11:21 AM 4/20/00 -0400, you wrote: >Welcome to all... it seems that we are always having new people, although some >are lurking and not introducing themselves :-) > >The forum is open, meaning that you can start a topic or respond to one as you >like here.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2001 Report Share Posted July 14, 2001 Hi, Peggy, etc. I just signed up, and didn't get the right e-mail address in that I wanted, so could I ask that everyone put in the following e-mail address for me? (Sorry to be such a dolt right off the bat, sigh) I would like to have everyone use the kinglizrex60 address rather than this current one. I have so much traffic on this address that I sometimes get inundated and start deleting willy nilly. Not good form, I know, but it happens, (sheepish grin). Thanks so much all, Liz King Rev.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2001 Report Share Posted July 14, 2001 Liz, you're not alone in the changes dept. I had to change my dratted id, a procedure that filled me with terror, after all the trouble I had with the switch from onelist. At that time wouldn't let me on with any nickname approaching normal, or even my own name, so I signed in with my *dogs* names. So from now on I should show up as heather, as opposed to dotdashsunnymolly....:-) Groan, Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 Hi Attilio, Well done for setting up the TCM group it's a really good idea especially to share our experiences after the end of the course. I vaguely remember talking about setting up this kind of thing - it just shows how much CW and stress has happened since, (or maybe my memory is going through old age !) I managed to get in and saw you had posted your CW (very brave !). I read a bit, it sounds impressive ! Will add stuff when our group work coursework has finished which will hopefully be soon !!
