Guest guest Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Hi all, Just think for a minute (not that you don't, but...) anyway, these devices are mini-computers, hence, for them to function, the software had to be programmed by a hominid (that's us folks). We, in our art use the subtle manifestations we get from touch, sight, and feeling in general when the pt. walks in the room to be treated, coupled with a $70,000 education we acquired from the books we read and lots of experienced teachers that passed something to us one-on-one. The mini-computers will give you some result as the product of what the computer programmer put in it, but as you can see, that's absolutely not even close to accuracy. It is like a cookie-cutter result, based on a broad generality of what should this or that feel based on that and the other. And this would be true for anything, be it diagnosis, Qi level, what channel is sick, etc., Gloria mike Bowser <naturaldoc1 wrote: Check out http://www.cihs.edu/whatsnew/ami_info.asp for another one and this one has been doing a lot of research work.

There's EAV: Electroacupuncture according to Voll http://www.eav.org/ thatmeasures all the jing well points and also will use various substances ashomeopathic medicines, herbs etc in their measurements. I know some peoplethat are very skilled in this (I have been told that it takes several yearsto get reliable results) and I have also undergone one of these tests. Theresults were amazing: the diagnosis was just as I or an other acupuncturisthad diagnosed myself. Another system that built upon this is MORA therapy http://www.oirfcom/recinstr/mora-pait.html . They use expensive machines (up to 12.500€) tomeasure electromagnetic disturbances in channels and systems. These machineshave sofisticated software that can measure things like immune disorders,amalgame toxicities, tooth infections, candida infections,...areas where Ithink TCM does not always function as well. When I have patients thatpresent with very complex patterns and with whom I suspect immunologicaldysfunctions I might refer them out to a Mora therapist to get a diagnosis.I have gotten good feedback this way.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 I'd go even further and say that I've never found one piece of acupuncture or Chinese medicine software that was useful to me. I haven't been able to understand why, as the homeopathic field has great software in comparison. This software is even more sophisticated than the texts (materia medicas, repertories, etc.) in terms of search, comparison, etc. For example MacRepertory or Radar. Why can't our field come up with something that is comparable in quality?
