Why all the Trouble?
1. Cultural cognition2. School’s failure to communicate
“coherent vision of Chinese medicine and an infinitely reproducible, step-by-step methodology for its practice.” (Flaws, Problems Making CM work in the West, Blue Poppy Blog)
3. The Myth of ‘Body, Mind, Spirit’ in TCM
![Page 4: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Cultural Cognition
TCM bears a bias of subjectivity in the form of reliance upon the patient’s lived experience of illness This is a wonderfully empowering bias in
regard to the treatment of chronic disease – which inevitably involves subjective aspects of illness (i.e. lifestyle)
It is a disaster for Western model of research which treats disease (as opposed to patterns) and maintains a bias of ‘objectivity’
![Page 5: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Jung on Eastern Thinking
“Even a superficial acquaintance with Eastern thought is sufficient to show that a fundamental difference divides East and West. The East bases itself on psychic reality, that is, upon the psyche as the main unique condition of existence . . . It is a typically introverted point of view, contrasted with the typically extroverted point of view of the West.” (ibid)
![Page 6: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Jung on Subjectivity
“The prominence of the subjective factor does not imply a personal subjectivism, despite the readiness of the extraverted attitude to dismiss the subjective factor as “nothing but” subjective.”
![Page 7: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Jung on Subjectivity
“The psyche and its structure are real enough. They even transform material objects into psychic images . . . They do not perceive waves, but sound; not wave-lengths, but colours. Existence is as we see and understand it.”
![Page 8: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Manfred Porkert
“As a result of their fundamentally different perspectives on reality . . . emphasis on functional and organic factors in the one case, and retrospective analysis of past events (with) emphasis on somatic and material factors on the other – Chinese and Western medicine can make their observations and then present us with two different ‘versions’ of the same phenomenon.” (Porkert, Chinese Medicine)
![Page 9: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Cultural Cognition
“Ideas must be transmitted by the head, and, of necessity will undergo change. Where could a foreign idea be accepted, assimilated or transmitted without being influenced by the particular situation it meets . . . And by the preconditioned patterns of thought cherished by the final receiver?” (Unschuld, p. 55)
![Page 10: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Thinking Which Accompanies
“Modern science and technology require an absorption of the thought processes which accompany them.” (Huntington, p. 73)
![Page 11: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Journey to the East
“Concern for historical accuracy and theoretical orthodoxy weren’t part of the zeitgeist (of those who first brought TCM to the West).” (Flaws, Body, Mind, Spirit – Also Not, Blue Poppy Blog)
![Page 12: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
History and Perspective
“With us . . . The grace of God is everything; but in the East, man is God and he redeems himself.” (Jung, Eastern and Western Thinking)
![Page 13: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Bias of the West
"Measurement! It is the very foundation of the modern scientific method, the means by which the material world is admitted into existence. Unless we can measure something, science won't concede it exists, which is why science refuses to deal with such "non-things" as the emotions, the mind, the soul or the spirit.“ (Pert p.21)
![Page 14: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Going Deeper
What do MD’s despise?
Lack of Methodology!
It is not that most really cannot acknowledge there are other systems of healing
It is lack of rigor that they cannot stomach
![Page 15: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Methodology of TCM
Gather Facts (clarify facts) = questioning, tongue and pulse - Reframe patient's Western disease into corresponding TCM diseases by focusing on the clinical signs and symptoms
Differentiate (hypothesize) patterns - Pattern discriminate each TCM disease(s), considering patient's sex, age, body-type, and any common disease mechanisms
![Page 16: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Methodology of TCM
Hypothesize disease cause / disease mechanism - Question and examine to confirm or deny your working hypotheses.
State treatment principle / treatment plan - When you have identified the presenting patterns, state the treatment principles for those patterns in the same order.
![Page 17: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Where to Put Effort
What are the most common patterns in chronic disease?
In stress, anxiety, depression?Pain?Specific Western medical diseases
(i.e. named diseases)
![Page 18: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Example: MS
Multiple Sclerosis Clinical Signs and Symptoms
Unilateral numbness, weakness of limbs, decreased libido, shao yin body-type, difficulty walking, cold feet and general cold; menses scant and irregular; muzzy head and general lethargy
red, slightly peeled tongue, hammer shaped and swollen and red on the edges;
pulse: fine, forceless and bowstring
![Page 19: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Example: MS
Patient was diagnosed with lesion in the cervical spine six months prior to visit and is still suffering symptoms
![Page 20: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Logic
Decreased libido, cold feet and general cold, as well as lack of strength indicate spleen qi and kidney yang vacuity
Numbness and shao yin body indicate vacuity of blood and yin
Hammer tongue, peeled and red along with muzzy head indicate evil heat consuming yin fluids as well as phlegm obstruction in the upper jiao
![Page 21: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Logic
Fine, forceless confirms vacuity of qi and yin
Bowstring indicates lack of free-flow
![Page 22: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Disease Mechanisms
Former heaven insufficiency, over-exercise (taxation), habitual bodily vacuity
Spleen qi vacuity with marked liver depression, depressive heat has consumed yin and damaged blood
Qi vacuity has now given rise to yang vacuity and aging and heat have all contributed to yin and blood vacuity
![Page 23: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Pattern Discrimination
Spleen qi, kidney yin and yang dual vacuity with liver blood vacuity and phlegm heat obstructing and harassing above
![Page 24: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Treatment Principles
Supplement the spleen and boost qi and yang, nourish yin and supplement the blood, clear heat and transform phlegm
![Page 25: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Treatment Plan
Acupuncture and moxabustion: He gu, tai chong, feng long, yang ling

Moxa at: qi hai, guan yuan ming men, shen shu
Pick 4-6 (do not over treat with needles!!)

Translating the Untranslatable
Qi – is not electricity (bioelectricity)
Energy? Don’t even go there!
See Robert Becker’s explanation of the ‘current of injury’ in Body Electric
![Page 27: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
How to Talk About Qi
1. Every question is an opportunity to teach
2. Knowing holistic metaphors and TCM methodology are pre-requisites for speaking to MD’s
3. Qi is function – i.e. when speaking of qi, refer to aspects of function
![Page 28: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Functional Medicine
Functional medicine is personalized medicine that deals with primary prevention and underlying causes instead of symptoms for serious chronic disease. It is a science-based field of health care that is grounded in the following principles:
![Page 29: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Functional Medicine
Biochemical individuality Patient-centered Dynamic balance
of internal and external factors Web-like interconnections of
physiological factors – an abundance of research now supports the view that the human body functions as an orchestrated network of interconnected systems
![Page 30: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Functional Medicine
Health as a positive vitality – not merely the absence of disease.
Promotion of organ reserve as the means to enhance health span
Functional medicine emphasizes . . . functionality at many levels . . . rather than a single treatment for a single diagnosis. Functional medicine uses the patient’s story as a key tool for integrating diagnosis, signs and symptoms
![Page 31: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Examples Good and Bad
Liver/gallbladder = sympathetic nervous system This approach is fraught with
opportunities for trapping oneself into a pissing contest
![Page 32: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Objections from the West
No Placebo – no dice
General mistrust of studies from outside the U.S.
![Page 33: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Placebo
“Dismissing the effect of faith on one’s physical well-being as merely a placebo effect misses the existential truth central to our being – that Mind is preeminent.” (Flaws, Blue Poppy Essays 1988, p. 307)
![Page 34: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Research
Seek research done via pattern discrimination for use in presentation or circulation among MD’s
It may (will) require explanation, but if you are competent, you will find opportunities to teach conventional folks about TCM methodology and metaphors
![Page 35: Communication and Integration. 96% of LAc’s And 100% of MD’s and Hospital Administrators Report that Communication is the #1 topic of significance.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649e495503460f94b3d3fe/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Conclusions
Take control of the game by learning to teach
If you do not know TCM pattern discrimination and the metaphors of holism COLD, you are not ready to speak to MD’s
Be (extremely) clear about methodology
Treat questions as non-questions and use them as opportunities to teach
