Many ancient remedies are completely bogus. – And who is to say that the one's that are not obviously bogus are even worthwhile trying, without substantial records, longevity, research etc. I am just having a hard time finding a) a solution to the `huge oversight' us TCMers have and b) what are these specific oversights (loss of valuable data) that exists… I ask Paul what are we supposed to do? IMO, as a doctor the best way to learn the most about Chinese Medicine (as a whole) is to PRECISLY study TCM because it represents the broadest snapshot of the past… -< The old lineage based CTM (to use the Unschuld term) is not gone completely. As a former apprentice I am a practitioner of a system which derives from a Dieh Dah family lineage. I know of several senior practitioners who started out as apprentices from other lineages. I am sure that there are many others. I take every opportunity to teach the unique point combinations Herbals and techniques derived from my non TCM background.
