Guest guest Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 I guess my Torrette's Syndrome was flaring up again. The supplements we have today are amazing quality of life improvers and extremely safe and life saving, but soon will be available (those that will!) only by prescription from approved MDs in a few short years, because of the profit of sole distribution. The understandings we the ordinary people, have today (like the majority I read in this group) are being warred and lobbied upon by international buisness and it's arm of governmental special interest. The modern understandings of the present and future health/life problems of stress, polution -all the way to global warming and famine, are best treated before they fully manifest, including by the combined voice of medical workers worldwide. Less than that I called ineffective to the point of negligence, which again was maybe unfair of me, but if someone can remain unaware or unmoved by the interrelated magnitude and urgency of these modern trends, and ignore them because it will hurt us and/or our livelihood or practise somehow, the suffering that will continue to mount is much greater and ultimately catastrophic compared to some small victory in the clinic. Societal livelihood will be hurt anyway, tho entertainment is a solid growth field. I am saying, preventing most cancer or birth defects or auto-immune epidemics, etc., is better than treating a few of its victims. The lack of concern about this in a frontline extremely highly educated, supposedly diagnostically savvy group as this worries me a little. I think altho maybe most of the teachable aspects of TCM are somewhat widely available, it'll take time to diseminate properly the nuances of individual's discoveries. Forums that focus toward a narrowing of concensus or definition of what TCM is and can do are way way premature. People who can afford this medicine, pay for it. It isn't forced on anyone by a juggernaut beauracracy. The total benefit or healing or ultimate usefulness of what this art does isn't always measureable and unfortunately reproduceable or else we'd have robot therapists set up in kiosk booths everywhere credit cards float around. The comfort is a unmeasurable too. For what TCM does it does well, and and will do better, if variation exists, in theory, application, and practitioners. Clumsy words, but oh well. peace, fran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
