@algancao – On Chinese Medicine Diagnosis
@acupunisher Diagnosis is knowing what signs and symptoms to include, and knowing which S&S to exclude. Fri Jul 10 05:47:16
@acupunisher Can’t include all symptoms. When shen-disturbed patient complains of aliens controlling mind, gotta know when to say when.
@acupunisher Color of aliens helpful information? Not sure, but I do agree re:patient’s reaction to them. I take same approach with dreams.
@acupunisher My point is sometimes you gotta ignore signs. To which of the 5 diagnostic colors do you attribute “plaid” as an example.
