Ask The Doctor

Since February of 1995, I've received a steady stream of questions in regards to how well traditional Chinese medicine works for a variety of syndromes and symptoms. This page reflects the answers that have been written in response to these questions.

For any other questions, just scroll on down this page. At the bottom is an e-mail link that will allow your to write to me personally. If your question is already answered on this page, please forgive me for simply directing you back to what has already been written.

Keep in mind one simple point. What is a disease process or syndrome according to Western medicine does not necessarily exist in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Because we look at everything very differently, we have to begin with a chief symptom and go from there. For instance, we don't have a treatment specifically for back pain due to a nerve impingement or disc degeneration syndrome. We look at the quality of the pain, what makes it better and what aggravates it, where it is and how long it has been there before we decide what is causing the problem and how to treat it.

I suppose that really doesn't matter, all you want is relief. Fortunately, that's basically all we do. Make things better.

That is Oriental medicine. Welcome.
