GOOD HEALTH QUIZ Have you been told that you are healthy or normal, but you know you aren't? The problem may be that by many MD's criteria, if your laboratory tests come back within normal limits then you are normal, even if you don't feel good and know that something is wrong. People spend a lot of time and money trying to find a MD to diagnose them. They will travel from doctor to doctor until finding a doctor to tell them that yes, you are sick. For some conditions new diseases are named because so many people are suffering from similar problems without distinctive laboratory test results. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is recognized now as a condition. Thirty years ago, this condition was not listed as a disease. Traditional Chinese Medical Healers do not rely on disease names or laboratory tests to tell us if you are unhealthy. We can tell by examination. A Traditional Chinese Medical examination consists of Questioning, Pulse taking and visual inspection of tongue and eyes. The results of the examination tell us what is going on in your body and we use this information to prescribe Acupuncture, Herbal formulas, lifestyle changes and exercises. If you have been told by a practitioner that you are healthy, take our simple Good Health Quiz to see if we would agree. Our belief is that you have to know what is good health in order to recognize when a patient is not in balance and needs treatment. 1. DO YOU HAVE A BOWEL MOVEMENT EVERY DAY AT THE SAME TIME? YES/NO 2. DO YOU HAVE A NORMAL APPETITE? (FOOD TASTES GOOD, YOU DON'T OVEREAT, YOU GET HUNGRY) YES/NO 3. DO YOU URINATE 5-7 TIMES A DAY WITHOUT PAIN OR DIFFICULTY? YES/NO 4. DO YOU SLEEP ALL NIGHT THROUGH? YES/NO 5. DO YOU HAVE WARM FEET AND HANDS AND A COOL FACE? YES/NO 6. DO YOU SWEAT DURING NORMAL EXERTION? YES NO 7. DO YOU WAKE WITH AN ERECTION (PENILE IF MALE, BREAST NIPPLE IF FEMALE)? YES/NO 8. ARE YOU RELATIVELY PAIN FREE? YES/NO 9. IS YOUR ENERGY LEVEL WHERE YOU WANT IT? YES/NO If you are able to answer YES to all the above questions, then you are in good health.

Introduction to TCM With a history of 2000 to 3000 years, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has formed a unique system to diagnose and cure illness. The TCM approach is fundamentally different from that of Western medicine. In TCM, the understanding of the human body is based on the holistic understanding of the universe , and the treatment of illness is based primarily on the diagnosis and differentiation of syndromes. The TCM approach treats zang--fu organs as the core of the human body. Tissue and organs are connected through a network of channels and blood vessels inside human body. Qi (or Chi) acts as some kind of carrier of information that is expressed externally through jingluo system. Pathologically, a dysfunction of the zang-fu organs may be reflected on the body surface through the network, and meanwhile, diseases of body surface tissues may also affect their related zang or fu organs. Affected zang or fu organs may also influence each other through internal connections. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment starts with the analysis of the entire system, then focuses on the correction of pathological changes through readjusting the functions of the zang-fu organs. Evaluation of a syndrome not only includes the cause, mechanism, location, and nature of the disease, but also the confrontation between the pathogenic factor and body resistance. Treatment is not based only on the symptoms, but differentiation of syndromes. Therefore, those with an identical disease may be treated in different ways, and on the other hand, different diseases may result in the same syndrome and are treated in similar ways. The clinical diagnosis and treatment in Traditional Chinese Medicine are mainly based on the yin-yang and five elements theories. These theories apply the phenomena and laws of nature to the study of the physiological activities and pathological changes of the human body and its interrelationships. The typical TCM therapies include acupuncture, herbal medicine, and qigong exercises. With acupuncture, treatment is accomplished by stimulating certain areas of the external body. Herbal medicine acts on zang-fu organs internally, while qigong tries to restore the orderly information flow inside the network through the regulation of Qi. These therapies appear very different in approach yet they all share the same underlying sets of assumptions and insights in the nature of the human body and its place in the universe. Some scientists describe the treatment of diseases through herbal medication, acupuncture, and qigong as an "information therapy".
