Guest guest Posted November 4, 2003 Report Posted November 4, 2003 Hi Marco and Alon, I was taught in western pathology 1 that there are always 4 cardinal signs that demonstrate inflamation: pain, redness, swelling and heat. Was I taught wrong? Yehuda ______________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand! Surf the web up to FIVE TIMES FASTER! Only $14.95/ month - visit www.juno.com to sign up today!

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2003 Report Posted November 4, 2003 Hi Yehuda, Within the western medical paradigm I am fairly certain that that description is a good one, but lets have some input from Jose Rivas and Alon and others... N.B. remember your question is about western definition of a western term and there is no problem with that but then what? Transferring translating comparing contrasting and so forth with Chinese medicine is the important part presumably since that is what you will be qualified to do...

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2003 Report Posted November 4, 2003 pain, redness, swelling and heat. Was I taught wrong? >>>These are signs of most acute inflammations. However, there are conditions in which one finds " inflammatory cells " in which there is not heat, swelling, redness or pain. Alon Quote
