Dear Mr Rosenberg, thank you for your reply. I\'d like to use some

Chinese characters for clarity if that\'s okay? In the UK there seems

to be confusion about what the weather is in terms of ²¡Òò. Of

the Íâ¸Ð the ÁùÒù I\'ve seen described as a collective

term for untimely climatic influences. I\'ve seen it translated as the

six evils, six pathogens, six abnormal climatic changes. However,

isn\'t there a difference between ·ç and ·çа ,º® and

º®Ð°, Êî andÊîа ,ʪ andʪа, Ôï and

Ôïа ,»ð and »ðа, ÈÈ and ÈÈа? Normally

·ç, º® andʪ etc aren\'t harmful and thus not pathogenic

or а. And as the theory goes it is only an untimely appearance or

when in abundance that they become harmful. However, in the UK when I

talk to my colleagues it seems that they conceptualise ·ç , º®

Êî ʪ Ôï »ð ÈÈ as ·çа etc. This lack of

clarity or insecurity with theory and terminology seems to have an

effect on how we diagnose and which formulas we apply. I\'m interested

in how other people think about the differences between the

weather/climate and the Íâ¸Ð ÁùÒù, are they the same?

Also, if we are talking about the ÁùÒù how do you conceive of what

happens when they meet the human body, I have an expectation that the

response is heterogeneous? Within medical anthropology there are

commonly held cross cultural folk and lay beliefs surrounding the

interaction of the for want of a better word \'weather\' and illness.

(I can supply interesting examples and the references for this

discourse if you are interested?) I wonder, when patients present with a

condition they attribute to the \'weather\' if they, and we, as Chinese

medicine practitioners are actually talking about the same thing? I\'m

not looking for the essentialist \'answer\' rather the range of

opinions, a dialogue perhaps? Kindest regards, Ashley Brammah
