RE: Chinese Pseudoscience #2: Cupping
I've put arsenic oxide on my list of stuff to check out thanks. 'Result oriented' is possibly the problem I'm trying to get at, but again, I'll explain what I can in follow up posts (perhaps not the next one since I want to focus on placebo specifically first) since these comments are getting really long. And, I'm sure I'll learn more as I go too!
Ha no worry ~
TCM is somehow like a black box to me.
(oh by the way I was told that neuron network for AI is also like a black box as well, ie: it works but you just dont know why; but I am not and expert on it and thats just what I heard)
You raise an interesting point that "qi", and I and my supervisor have some debate on it and have some interesting view point on it scientifically.
And by the way, in the Chinese doctor, if you get certain kind of diseases, they will tell you "you should eat this and not this this this" and like a long check list; if you dont follow that, you will get worse quickly, and I got a considerable number of friends having the same situation, which actually supersize me.
One of the few examples would be those with rheumatism, eating goose and drink beers would get worse quickly. Everyone with rheumatism agree that.
haha examples pop up from time to time
Anyway ~
