Western Medicine and Oriental Medicine
Dear Readers: Kenji Sawada, a famous Japanese acupuncturist once said, "It is said in the Ori- ent that the practice of medicine is the way of the sage." Oriental Medicine is the amalgamation of past sages' desires to search for the universal truth with the purest of heart, and to look for answers in astronomy, deducing from the Yin and Yang* balancing, and ultimately to cure the human body. Its core is based on the Tai Chi, the Oneness**. The practice is based on the foundation of logic and clini- cally tested truth that when we treat the root cause, peripheral symptoms would naturally disappear. Oriental Medicine considers that any object cannot be sepa- rated from the whole, and it always has the relationship to the whole. For exam- ple, by balancing the zang fu***, all symptoms such as headache, sinus, vision, and hearing problems would naturally be diminished. In Orient Medicine, it is said that a master heals the Tai Chi, and a doctor cures a disease. This is the fork that separates the extraordinary from the ordinary. *Yin & Yang: polar opposites in the relationship of balance, cannot separate, and each cannot exist without the other *Tai Chi: Daoist idea of One creates Two (Yin & Yang), Two creates Three (Liver, Spleen, Kidney), Three creates Five (diseases of the five Yin organs*), and Five creats milliard of things. *Yin organs: Liver, Heart, Spleen, Lung, and Kidney.
**Zang Fu = internal organs. Please read newsletter, vol. 1 no.1 (November issue)
