Hi Wanzhu Hou.
Figures themselves are data which support the idea.
I deduce the difference between male and female kidney channels in foot-ankle
because the sexual organs are very different for shape and function, also if
complementary.
Chinese herbal medicine doesn't need to be supported by qi channels system as
acupuncture does. You could prescribe one herb or a combination of herbs without
to know where channels and points are involved. The patiens say you "I'm very
cold" and you will use a warming combination of herbs.
The herbal treatment probably came after the acupuncture treatment, when old
chinese (and also western people) had already lose the "qi vision" to which I
refer in my observation and theory.
If you open the chinese herbal bible tha is "Bensky and Gamble" book, very
rarely you could find something about the channels, besides the generic "channel
entered" row. Nearly everyone can feel that rou gui is acrid, hot and sweet, but
I heard nobody says having felt it has entered the liver channel... We can
perceive the organs as they are described in wester anatomy, especially when
they are ill and changed in volume, but nobody can see the channels as they are
described in the classic maps.
Western science makes possible to see the bones by the mean of X-rays. Within a
few years postmortem examination will not be necessary any more, because the CT
examination will be enhanced enough to show us every anatomic detail without the
doctors cut the corpses.
I want to say that herbs are in sinthony with the actual way to feel and
perceive. You see the herb, you taste it, you feel its by your senses. You
cannot see, cannot taste, cannot feel the channels. And if someone can it,
cannot absolutely demonstrate it.
Last thing: amongs the senses we, as modern men, have elected the sight as
dictator. Nobody would prefer being blind rather than deaf, blind rather than
without taste or touch.
For this reason I want the acupuncture to become "evident".
