> Hombre, wow, you certainly do put a lot of time, thought and care into your responses! I really appreciate it, and enjoy reading and learning from your posts...I've printed them all off to make a reference book from them ;o)

> I am definitely interested in seeing a good TCM practitioner, I like the holistic approach to health and wellness, and I'm more comfortable with Eastern med theory vs. Western med (though not against it, just think their priorities are a bit screwy) Anyhow, that said, even though you say you are an amatuer, your knowledge and comments make me source and research and learn more about these things and gives a very solid starting frame of reference. Reading through your description of kidney deficiencies...I think I need more kidney yang...def feel a bit slow/sluggish not as mentally sharp as I could be, haven't been as interested in social activity etc. Plus just started LiOr yesterday, and want to make sure that my kidneys are being nourished to function as optimally as possible. With respect to spleen, it is also likely sl weak...again, mental acuity; feeling like I am not retaining information or absorbing it. Liver sounds about right too.

>unforunately the entire ying yang philosophy may just not be backed by any solid science. You may find that the results are disappointing. Many in the East are now turning to western medicine. There must be a reason for that. Unforunately many of these myths were created before the advent of the scientific method.
I was macrobiotic at one time and after a while I realized I did not feel better. There were many claims made without any substance. Later I was horrified to find out that the founder and some family members had died of cancer.
Yes I remember how soothing the whole ying yang thing made me feel. But in my two years with the macrobiotic movement I did not see healthier people.Look eat well. Cut down on animal products and animal fat. Get lots of omega 3 based oils. Eat plenty of dark green vegatables. Do eat lean animal protein. If possible organic. That's about the best you can do. But don't waste your time on this whole ying yang thing. I'm to ying I need more yang and vice versa.
Don't deny yourself access to the appropriate meds. There must be a reason people in the far east are now also practicing western medicine. Obviously their whole peasant system of medicine was not working for many of their people.
