I have created an hour long video on that topic which discusses the

issue, but more

from a doctor's point of view. I wonder if that might be what you are

looking for.

 

Example: McBurney's point on right iliac fossa on right lower abdomen

denotes when tender

an impending appendicitis in WM terms.

 

In TCM it lies on specific points which signify the ileo-cecal junction

of the small with the large

intestine, where the redundant appendix also attaches. This is the

placement according to Nan Ching

of LU to the right of navel.

 

Because of a rich lymphatic network the area serves as an immune system

filter.

 

When there is an immune system problem the area registers tenderness.

 

Holmes.

The first two chapters of my just released book " The Healing Power of

Acupressure and Acupuncture " go quite deeply into the differences between

Chinese and Western science as a whole and then how this applies to Chinese

medicine in particular. In chapter 5, I describe two primary medical approaches;

one that seeks to take over for our natural healing capabilities and the other

that seeks to facilitate natural healing abilities. Virtually all of Western

medicine takes the first approach while much (but not all) of Chinese medicine

takes the second. I will be giving a talk on this second topic at the

AOMAlliance conference on Sunday, May 8th. The talk is titled " Putting it into

Perspective " and tapes of it will be available through the Alliance after the

conference. I am also interested in speaking at acupuncture schools (for no

charge) about the subject of the differences between Western and Chinese

science. I feel this will help students get a better grip on their studies. I

planned on contacting schools with this offer in the near future but any

administrators interested in taking me up on this offer can contact me off-list

through my website at www.MatthewDBauer.com. Also Alena - If you are unable to

purchase my book I would be happy to send you electronic copies of the chapter I

mentioned above. - Matthew Bauer

My messages (at least the ones I receive myself) are tending to get cut off for

some reason. Alena - in my earlier message I offered to send you the chapters

relating to this subject off-list if you wished. You can contact me through my

website at www.MatthewDBauer.com I also offered acupuncture school

administrators who are interested in my speaking at their schools to contact me

this way as well. I hope this (complete) message gets through. - Matt
