TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE & TECHNIQUES (TCM)

Many persons are turning to various alternative healing and health practices which include many from Asian sources, as well as some from indigenous peoples or tribes in South America, Africa, etc. which include shamans.... Nowadays, this 'wisdom from the East' has penetrated into areas once reserved for 'traditional' medicine of the West.....and now Western Medicine is considering the possilbe value and function of such in various ways, even to the extent of acknowledging some of them have an effect,whether helpful or not, curative or not...and perhaps in their wake, the pharmaceutical companies have seen such as a boon and boost to their 'industry' and so forth... Many methods of the ancient world and the past were considered inferior to that of the official medicine of the day.....and some still are.....but people are turning to alternative cures and medicines and systems or practices for things they cannot receive otherwise from Western Medicine.... Therefore, I have placed a few indications of what can be looked at by those interested in 'becoming their own best physicians' and who want to work out their own cures, if any, in their own 'laboratories' which are, of course, their bodies, which can and may undergo a 'transformation' if not a 'transmutation' .....depending on what they do or follow.... At any rate a discussion of things old and new, far and wide, ancient and modern, with a lot thrown in between,is what I plan to do on this blog until t he government, as it has for some in the past, shuts me down......if it does.....
