I found this from another blog post from Da Fitness ...
About Fitness, about Health!
Western and Chinese medicine have radically different views about how we become ill. In Western medicine, for example, the notion that the emotional life of the person plays a significant role in a person’s physical health is still a controversial hypothesis. Because so little is as yet understood about the complex physiological mechanisms operating, physicians in the West have often denied that physical illnesses frequently have a psychological basis. The word “psychosomatic” has always had pejorative overtones, implying that the patient could get better if only he or she tried hard enough. ? “Stress”, however, became a fashionable word in the 1980s to explain the cause of all manner of illnesses and yet the Western doctor’s Pharmacopoeia did not significantly alter in response to this development. It is a strange paradox that although nowadays GPs often cite stress as the cause of a person’s complaint, the main medical text-books do not even list it in their sections on the causes of disease. In Chinese medicine, however, the links between body, mind and spirit have always been recognised and indeed lie at the heart of the system. ? The Chinese formulated three main categories of disease causation: External, Internal and “neither external nor internal”. The internal causes are emotional and affect the mind
and spirit in the first instance. Once the mind/spirit starts to suffer, the person’s energetic balance is affected and chronic physical illness is often the result. Diet, climatic factors, congenital abnormalities, injury, lack of exercise, exhaustion and various other causes can all be important factors in a person’s health, but one’s well-being in mind and spirit is probably the most important. Henri Amiel, the Swiss philosopher, expressed what most people feel to be true “Happiness gives us the energy which is the basis of health”.
About this article... And Health. This people have a different approach compare to other "chinese culture resellers" -Health via Herbal formulation is a matter of realistic Science... Global (and more accurate than some other Feng-Shui advises..)
Talking about Science, I think about Medicine... What have learnt those students in medicine before they are allowed to take the Hippocratic Oath? Let’s face reality: Doctors have soaked-up an extraordinary volume of details regarding the human body, (if your memory is not so good enough, pharma is still a good alternative) and at the end, they have to deal with the other Great Grand Master named pharmaceutical Industry.
It is written “To please no one will I prescribe a deadly drug nor give advice which may cause his death. I will preserve the purity of my life and my arts” bullshit...
Maybe some of them still think about this few words? Let's make a Hollywood piece of Art (humor) let's think our dear doctors are not so bad, they still have this light inside them, there somewhere between their Mirror and their account statment. They still cultivate themselves...(It should be a kind of interesting mix of Ethic, fashion and other existential problems… )
For those made Doctor of Medicine, their Hippocratic Oath is most of the time forgotten... Somewhere 'round the golf court)
Health? They don't care anymore... They play & deal chemicals...
