Communication is only as effective as it is understood by the recipient

February 12, 2004

The following message was not helpful sorry ! it would be perhaps if I

could understand the nomenclature, acronyms, abbreviations, occasional pin

yin and the many typos. If we are to communicate (and understand each others

communication), can we please do it in language that is common to us all.

Most computer systems have a spell / grammar checker so there is no reason

for basic errors. I understand that English is not the first language of

some people so allowance has to be made for difficulty of expression and

inappropriate diction, but for this reason alone can we please keep it

simple and if you use an abbreviation, acronym etc the convention is to

explain it upon its first appearance in a document e.g. Traditional

(TCM) or Western Medical Doctor (WMD). You can then freely

refer to TCM as being the most efficacious medical system on the planet and

we hope that WMD will soon understand this and work with us on a more equal

basis.

I look forward to further lively debate

Andy

Hi Dermot, I am a DOM and have treated over 500 MS pts. Bottom line pattern

in MS, (Wei Zheng, Wei Bi) is firstly determining the pattern

discrimination. MS is insideous has various presentations and no two

individuals are alike. Believe me work Icotreat w/ an MD, Neurologist and

Shen Jing Jing Shen Ke requires a keen senses You never know what will walk

in the door! Central to the condition in most cases is Sp/ Kd yang

vacuity.Qi and yin vacuity is common d/t over use of steroids. Kepp in mind

a ABC'R and Novantron, sdefx etc w/ concominant stasis and stagnationThe

text bok approach re: phase treatment I do not find useful in the real

clinical environment. Hope this was helpful
