@algancao – on TCM as Pseudoscience

@chigurh is TCM pseudoscience? Only when we’re trying to explain it in the West. Many feel the need to try and speak in biomedical terms.

TCM and pseudoscience: I think that our expectations of anything called “medicine” must be “scientific”. That’s a modern prejudice.

TCM (herbalism) is more like cooking than pharmacology. Different chefs include variant ingredients for the same dish, such as pasta sauce.
