I’m glad you enjoyed it Jezreel. There are a lot of things we can learn from folks that are culturally/philosophically different than us. Chinese medicine has some principles that we would do well to explore and use. The fact that the folks who discovered those principles and techniques explained them from a very different cultural/religious paradigm doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot of truth there. They used metaphors and analogies and such to explain what was happening that made sense to their Ancient Chinese minds.

Research scientists that don’t give a hoot about culture, philosophy, religion, history, etc… have tested Chinese herbs and acupuncture and things and have found them to be very effective.

I’ve learned lots of amazing things over the years from people with whom I disagree on lots of topics. The key is to use good discernment and to not be in a hurry to throw out the baby with the bath water. :0)

Hello Jezreel, I am currently studying Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture. I too have seen the way God has made everything interconnected.

it just makes sense that there is a circular pattern to every aspect of health and healing. It is so fascinating to be able to study these ways of healing.

I became interested in Chinese medicine after listening to Doc Jones talk about it. It’s so interesting to find truths in all different kinds of places.
