Guest guest Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 I think you are right. There are more chances that you have a boy. I used to check pulses, and out of 20 patients I was wrong in one two cases and in two cases I just could not make decision about what side has stronger pulse. Follow up with these two patients showed that babies had problems with the stomach... Tatiana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 What if the true sexual nature of the unborn child is opposite to the sex it is born with. Wouldn't this factor in on the pulse and account for the occassional connundrum? Simon Chinese Medicine tvgaid Sat, 1 Aug 2009 13:19:58 -0400 gender/pregnancy I think you are right.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Dear All - This is a very interesting subject, gender and pregnancy. The pulse diagnosis group has 59 posts including some from various experts on the subject http://health.PulseDiagnosis/. The information there is rich. I cannot post them here due to copyrights of the authors. If you go there (I think you would have to join, but I am not certain) and search on the term 'pregnancy', then conversations on the subject between 2006 and 2008 will pop up. I co-taught with Leon Hammer between 1994 and 2000 at all levels from his advanced training to the basic introductory work. I stopped teaching in his group when we developed a difference of opinion on nomenclature and the applications of classical literature. One example is the use of the term tight which I saw pop up in this forum. I consider tight to be the jin mai; folks working with Hammer are using the term 'tight' to describe what in conventional pulse lore would more likely be called a 'thready wiry' pulse. There is an article that I wrote for Times that addresses the matter briefly. It should be out soon. Somewhere in my notes is a rather complex array of opinions from different sources on the subject. In my experience he simplest and most reliable has been the increase of yang pulse factors which may include slipperiness, tension, force and size on the left for a boy child and on the right for a female. Nothing is completely reliable, even ultrasound. People working in the fertility field are in a position to perform a rather simple study. For such work, 100 or more cases would be good as 2-3 observations are insufficient for the purpose of generalizing. Warmly, Will -- William R.
