week eleven: can I synthesize east and west
I think that it is already being dome on a large scale. In China many of their hospitals integrate both eastern(TCM) and western medicine. A typical cancer treatment might include surgery, chemo acupuncture,herbs,and creative imaging, and qigong. I am synthesizing east and west by studying western medicine in conjunction with my acupuncture.So I am proud to say the synthesis is happening.

Perhaps a better word might be symbiosis rather than synthesis...how one treatment affects another
ReplyDeletehow they blend
Where I live alternative medicine is a way of life.
My personal doctor in addition to being a alliopathic doctor is an acupuncturist a naturopath,as well as homeopath! Believe me it's great to have 'one stop shopping'...for one ailment I might need an antibiotic while for another perhaps simple yet effective herbal teas would cure the ailment..incur less stress be much more economical with a happy result...course you kin blend east n west...it's done daily..it's also nice to have a doctor who's 'multi-talented' & sees the BENEFIT of offering more than one cure fitting the needs of each individual patient
