@algancao – On Yin and Yang
@Baridegi asks about the “third force” with yin and yang. The third force is “change” (If I understand the basis of your question.)
@Baridegi The original text says “one bore two, two bore three and three bore the 10 thousand things”. So, the character is the number “3″.
@Baridegi Also: little yang, big yang, and yang brightness, little yin, big yin, and terminal yin? Yin and yang are split up into 6 phases. (少陽, 太陽，陽明， 少阴，太阴， 厥阴)
@Baridegi Korean Constitutional medicine prefers four phases, big and little yin, big and little yang.

@algancao – On Korean Rhetoric
Ultimate yang becomes yin. When at the top, the only change can be down. That’s why I figure any “supreme leader” is only temporary. Fri Jun 19 17:11:57
Korean political rhetoric has better feng-shui. “Dear Leader” and “Sunshine Policy”. Nice.

@algancao – On Extenze
@notmytao Extenze’s ingredients are known to make research rats’ balls heavier. No change in penis size, though. :)

@algancao-on Three Wise Men
@pmsgeisha wise men brought baby Jesus frankincense and myrrh, both Chinese herbs, for tissue trauma (likely for Mary more than Jesus). Fri Jun 12 19:44:50

@algancao-on Herb Names
Just learned of a European herb: “Lobelia inflata (pukeweed)”… any wonder why it has trouble gaining popularity? Tue Jun 02 19:32:32

@algancao-on My Twitter Name
@samv I chose “al licorice root” (algancao) because “al caterpillar fungus” was taken. :) Mon May 04 04:48:56

@algancao-on Acupuncture Research
@Pihoqahiaq acupuncture beats non-acu outcomes, but ties sham-acu. I question channel theory, but not acupuncture.

@algancao-on the Placebo Response
Smart money (and big Pharma) is focusing on placebos. There’s a lot there beyond the bane of drug trials.

Or are acu-channels the local equivalent of constellations? Merely projections of our world on to the unknowable mysteries of the body?
