Hi David,

The theory base for TCM acupuncture was formalised by the Chinese government in the 1960’s. This was the basis of the Barefoot Doctor movement in China.

Since then there have been various texts – which all basically re-state the same data in somewhat different forms.

Giovanni Maciocia has a good one.

It’s confusing but people have chosen to translate Chinese terms with similar Western ones. In TCM the ‘organs’ of the body have functions different to the western ones – which includes psychological functions.

For instance in western medicine the Kidneys are water filters in TCM they contain the life essence we are born with.

These ‘organ’s’ functions are related to other organ’s functions.

Thus in TCM the spleen is in charge of digestion. So problems with digesting oil can involve both the spleen and the liver. Because digestion is one source of energy for our living, if this is disrupted, it can affect the other organs. This may be what is going on with what appears to be the confusing diagnoses you’re getting.

I have written my own approach to TCM theory. It is waiting on illustrations but I can send you the bare text if you like. It is quite long but you can just look up the parts relevant to you. Let me know your email and I’ll send you the text.

Hope you find a way to get the problem fixed.

I’m curious, a lot of this makes sense but one thing i find that education and research in TCM/Acu lacks is siting sources. Where did you get this information? (not questions just curious). It seems every practitioner i go to they have some theory and it all comes out different. I know I have a liver problem and when i go for treatment for my liver, they end up telling me I have some spleen something or kidney something and always change the diagnosis. I franktly just want to treat my liver.. frustrating.

The answer is almost certainly. I can’t really say more than this general reply.

You’ll need to get to an acupuncturist so they can see you. How long it takes and how often you need it will depend on how severe the problem is and how long you have had it. It may also involved herbs and dietary change.

For the acupuncture it is possible it may be twice week for 10 weeks. This would be a common scenario.
