Hi all,

 

Ive only just joined the group and was wondering if there is anyone out

there practicing integration of Chinese and Western medicine, i.e.

qualified in both Western medicine and chinese med.?

 

Regards

Christine

Hi Christine,

Yes I practise both and am qualified in both although I

seem to have gradually incorporated using Chinese herbs more. Western

herbal medicine has some fantastic nervines though and some people

really like the experience of taking them. I would also say Western

herbs perhaps give a quicker response intially, although Chinese herbs

seem to be superior for tonifying. I only make my mind up during the

consultation, it is also always good to be able to do the T & P to

gain insight. I tend to treat one modality or the other, but I know

colleagues who can freely mix everything!

Well, I'm a western doctor who took acupuncture courses in China and is

currently studying Chinese herbalism. I'm part of a group in my old alma

mater (University of the Philippines) running an integrative medicine

clinic.

 

It's not as good as having both an MD and a OMD or something...

Yes, some on this list are qualified practitioners of western med / vet

med / nursing / physio and also are qualified in (or studying) various

aspects of TCM (herbs, acupuncture, guasha, qigong, etc).

 

Integration of knowledge from north, south, east & west is, IMO, the

basis for the best medicine. But that takes a lifetime (maybe several

lifetimes) of study.

 

My homepage [ http://homepage.eircom.net/~progers/ ] says:

 

There is but ONE True Medicine:

 

It matters not if medicine is old or new

so long as it can cure.

It matters not if theories come from East or West

so long as they be true.

(Jen-Hsou Lin, Taipei)

 

and

 

There is but ONE true Medicine,

the Medicine that heals the wounds,

of cosmos, spirit, psyche, soma, earth & time.

Man & creatures merely come & go

in circles, spirals & in time,

& medicine dreamed by mortal minds

can never foil the longterm dream of God.

(Anonymous, after Guinness)

 

Best regards,

Dr Tan-Gatue,

 

Do you know Dr Gemma Arellano? She also works at UP general

hospital I think.

Well I have just gradauted with a BSc Trad. and

currently applying to study western medicine so that I can integrate

the two but I was not entirely sure how it would work practically as

I know studying another 5 years minumum is much hard work and I am

not too sure if I could handle to work load of practicing Chinese

Medicine studying Western medicine at the same time.

 

Maraming salamat po

Christine

Sounds like you're from the Philippines.

Hi there,

I studied Chinese medicine, and now am studying for the GAMSAT

(probably due to some overachieving masochistic streak)to apply to get

into graduate western med. It will take me less time to do an MBBS than

it did to get a double degree in TCM. ;) Fingers crossed.

Regards,

Lea.

Lea,

 

I thought i was the only crazy person studying for GAMSAT!! I started studying

for them but now im thinking maybe i wont be ready in time. How long ago did u

finish your CM degree? I was thinking of applying for 2007 but i just graduated

this year so I only have a few months to study. Im a bit worried that if i

actually get in and start straight away i will forget my chinese mediine.
