Guest guest Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Hi Cathyb, Regarding your friend with peripheral neuropathy, in regards to Chinese medicine you're often looking at deficient blood issues, but another question I would ask is: Is this person a diabetic? Or in the least have blood sugar handling issues? Since this sounds so systemic I would look at diet (too many carbohydrates, and poor sources of fat (hydrogenated)). As a new passion I have begun a certification in functional nutrition and the parallels to the holistic approach to Chinese medicine is fascinating. It certainly is another branch to explore, especially since Chinese dietary issues are also a tool of Oriental diagnosis. Hope this helps! Janine P.S.

Re: peripheral neuropathy CathyB <beaneedle ______________________ ______________________ Message: 1 Mon, 17 Nov 2003 15:29:39 EST bonmotSarah MD/Acupuncturists I would just like to add my thoughts to this discussion. While treating a patient with the best possible modalities available is probably the ideal goal I feel that it is impossible for one person to envision all aspects of TCM as well as Western medicine. To treat in the best way one would have to fully understand both systems and then decide how to proceed, either towards the Eastern side or the Western side. The way a patient is diagnosed and then treated in the two systems is not the same and does not overlay very easily (or indeed at all) from one system to the other. Generally those who have Western training find it difficult to understand the Eastern system fully and so sort of follow a mish mash of both. I understand there is a school of TCM in China which does this as well and so I suppose it is a recognized way to proceed. Still I would, as a patient, prefer to be seen by an expert in one or the other field, not someone who has a sort of grasp of both. Perhaps I rephrasing this old saying " He was a jack of all trades, but master of none. " Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
