Guest guest Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009  Hi all;   I thought I'd copy this to the list (from Scheid's website):  " From ancient times two principles are important in medicine: harmonisation, which means to avoid the use of harsh and violent drugs; and gentleness, which means not to rush after symptomatic relief.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009   Hi Z'ev!  --Z'ev- Beautiful. There's more of these gems in Volker's book, " Currents of Tradition in " . ---  True, true.  How about this one, on learning and self-cultivation "  " One must study the ancient texts on the basis of one's own observations. Starting from previous critiques [of classical texts], one must add further discriminations by way of personal reflection. Furtehrmore, within the context of clinical study one must join [such reflection] to real exemplars of a given disorder. This method allows the mind to achieve tacit understandings that [in turn] permits one to deploy [this knowledge] freely in clinical practice.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Hugo, That's my credo in a nutshell. . . it allows me to be inspired by Chinese medicine even after many years of practice.
