New to Group...FMS and TCM

[Guest guest]

The posting about Bob Flaws and his approach to Fibromyalgia is very

helpful - especially since Bob has no doubt had quite a few FM cases.

The most important point in this posting in my opinion is the comment

that one should always treat the dominant symptom picture first. The

healing process always starts with first things first and proceeding

step by step from there - the case always reveals itself in layers

and the top layer with the most harresing symptoms are the ones that

need attention then the other layers will one by one come to the

surface - then one attends to these underlying layers until the

health pattern is left.

Proceeding in such a way is the greatest protection a practioner has

against making diagnostic mistakes - the symptoms are what is being

treated not any abstraction like disease names. Every fibromyalgia

patient presents with a differant syndrome picture - and treating the

symptoms and the DOMINANT syndrome picture first is the correct way

to proceed. As will be true in every case no matter what the disease

name that has been assigned to the case.

My suggestion is that if one does not consider themselves Master

diagnosticians (few are) then staying with the symptom picture of the

particular patient will keep you on track - try to ignore disease

names unless you are sure of your analysis (with confirmations). At

best disease names - especially western disease names - are simple

indicaters - they can never be definative for TCM practioners because

we are approching the patient from a completly differant perspective

than the alleopaths.
