West meets East 1 This section contains numerous papers dealing with general and specific areas of East/West medical juxtaposition, explanation and integration.
The broad domain of focus for these papers is the relationship of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), especially acupuncture, with the whole area of western medical biosciences (WMB). The therapeutic role of hatha yoga is also of interest. The content of papers will be mainly 'lead' by the view from the East. Further papers dealing with topics in this general area will be posted from time to time. These can be expected to deal with various topics reflecting the integrated approach to medicine, therapy and theory which is undertaken at ACU Centre - embracing TCM, WMB and/or hatha yoga. NOTE West meets East I is complete. West meets East II, III, IV, V, VI, VII & VIII are under construction. All downloadable documents are in Acrobat 5 PDF format.
