Guest guest Posted February 17, 2000 Report Share Posted February 17, 2000 Yes, TCM is ver different from Western medicine. I'm referring to essentialities. For example, Hegel had the one substance. Yin and Yang are in this category and are identical with Being and Nothing as begun by Plato and others. Later. tmex ______________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2000 Report Share Posted February 18, 2000 What is Hegel. I know my posts are dense and I'm trying to clear them up. I should be asking more questions, I know. Hegel was a famous 18th century philopher from Germany. I'm trying to relate TCM to the West for a better understanding, because TCM is so different in its details. tmex ______________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2000 Report Share Posted February 18, 2000 May I make a suggestion? (And I really am not being sarcastic here) Stop trying to relate TCM to the West. Let go of any preconceived notions of health and such. It's very different from Western thought. In the long run, comparing the two will probably be more confusing than helpful to you. I'm a bit of a flake, so accepting TCM concepts has come easier to me than most Westerners, I suspect. I've also studied Cherokee medicine, which also applies nonWestern thought patterns to physical and spiritual health.
