Guest guest Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 There is some evidence for quality of expression of jing transforming physical features in the Pottenger cat studies. While I'm not sure if the premise of the cat study is good (there is some evidence that most of the problems were related to taurine deficiency which was not understood at the time of the study) it does seem that the cumulative effect of nutritional deficiency across generations of animals was apparent and measurable and reversable with proper nutrition. The results that I recall were changes in the shape of the skull and jaw, the long bones, nervous system, etc. On the radio recently I heard a long discussion of how so called " junk " DNA actually plays an important role in activating and deactivating genetic expression, and it might be a way of conveying the more " Lamarckian " information from one generation to the next. Par Scott - Attilio D'Alberto Chinese Medicine Sunday, June 17, 2007 12:12 PM RE: Re: Facelift Acupuncture: fact or fallacy? Big ear lobes represent a strong source of Kidney Qi and Essence. That's why Buddha is always depicted with large ear lobes. Translating that into luck is more of a lay term used by the general public which I believe is the same as the lines between eye brows illustrating issues with our parents. It's more lay terminology than TCM. From a TCM view, if we did how issues with our parents, then it would probably manifest within our kidneys that house our pre heaven Qi given to us from our parents.

Chinese Medicine Chinese Medicine On Behalf Of c_s_tcm 17 June 2007 16:32 Chinese Medicine Re: Facelift Acupuncture: fact or fallacy? Hi Attilio, hope you are well. Bridges book, and her lectures are full of ancedotes and stories of how she applies face reading to life and to help her clients " recognise their issues " , making her a very interesting and engaging speaker. I possibly made a bad choice in choosing the example i did of how face reading could be applied to FRA, (the conversation i quoted was a chat with a friend about the subject, not during an acu consultation) We all do face reading to a certain extent every day with those we meet and in order to read emotions and gauge how others are feeling, I think it is interesting to develop the skill and use it to help give FRA clients a more positive opinion of their wrinkles and lines. It may not be the most high-brow academic aspect of chinese medicine- much of the subject is light-hearted and fun - for example large fleshy earlobes are said to represent old age luck (lots of money or rich children to look after you in old age!) I was wondering, If you belive the topic to be " new age nonsense " - or traditional old nonsense, given its long history throughout Chinese culture, diviniation, diagnosis, use in match-making etc, why promote the book for sale in your bookshop??!! kind regards Christine Traditional_ <Chinese Medicine%40> Chinese_Medicine , " Attilio D'Alberto " <attiliodalberto wrote: > > Hi Christine, > > So, if a patient presents with a deep line vertically between the > eyebrows, this could be treated according to Doran by needling along > the wrinkle and also across it in 2 directions, so as to relax the > muscle.
