thanks for this usefull answer.
The problem is that in some cases a therapeut will consider one of the sequence
as a parameter to deteremine his/her treatment. And this is where it could
trigger problems. And many other schools consider yang ming as the pivot between
internal and external... so this is why I find it difficult to solve.
Kind regards
Gerard

possible and both have a textual
basis in the classics. Usually, shaoyang is seen as the pivot between
internal and external, and the clinical manifestations reflect that
(chills and fever alternating). Sometimes a yangming condition
appears as being more internal than shaoyang (deeper in the body-the
bowels- and more severe) but malaria is a shaoyang disease and is
more severe than a little burning anus that might come from eating
pakistani food (thats good stuff!)- The shang han lun, the text from
which this theory comes, even states that a disease could attack a
level other than taiyang first, so really, anythings possible.

Its not really a contradiction of theories as it is an observation of
the various ways things can work in nature.
