This document compares and contrasts traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and western medicine (WM). It notes that TCM has existed for thousands of years in ancient China and utilizes herbal medicines, acupuncture, massage, and tai chi. WM has existed for around 800 years since ancient Greece and relies on pharmaceuticals, injections, and surgery. The document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each approach. It concludes by advocating that the future should involve developing new medical technologies while combining the strengths of TCM and WM, with healthy lifestyle practices like exercise and diet.
Fundamental concepts of chinese medicineHaley Vosburg
The document discusses fundamental concepts in Chinese medicine, including yin and yang, the five phases (earth, metal, water, wood and fire), qi or energy, essential substances like blood and fluids, essence and spirit, the viscera and bowels which are the 12 major organs. Yin and yang are contrasting yet complementary phenomena that exist in dynamic equilibrium, maintaining health. The five phases have a dynamic relationship and can be applied to life and the body. Qi is a broad concept like energy that causes physiological functions and health. Essence is the physiological aspect of health while spirit is the mental aspect. The 12 organs are divided into 6 solid viscera and 6 hollow bowels connected by channels where qi flows.
Traditional Chinese medicine is based on the principles of yin and yang balance and the flow of qi energy through energy channels. Diagnosis involves examining the pulse, tongue, questioning the patient about their symptoms, sleep, diet, etc. Illnesses are believed to be caused by imbalances among the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, which relate to different organs. Acupuncture and herbal remedies are used to treat energy imbalances and restore balance. Qigong exercises also aim to promote the flow of qi energy. Famous early practitioners included Bian Qiao, Hua Tuo, and Sun Simiao who made important contributions to diagnosis, treatments, and recording knowledge of Chinese medicine.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has over 2000 years of history and uses different approaches than Western medicine. TCM is based on Daoist ideas of balance in the universe and diagnosis focuses on identifying energy imbalances. Massage called tui na works on meridian points like acupuncture without needles. Herbal remedies are commonly used to treat illnesses based on diagnosis of pulses, tongue, and the Five Elements theory. Qigong exercises and meditation are practiced for preventative health, stress relief, and treating chronic conditions. Acupuncture regulates qi and blood flow using stimulation of meridian points. The yin-yang theory describes opposing natural forces applied to understanding the human body.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been used in China for over 2000 years based on principles of Yin Yang balance and Qi flow. TCM uses several treatment methods including herbalism, acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, massage, and exercises like Tai Chi and Qigong to balance the body and prevent or treat illness by restoring harmony. Herbal remedies are commonly used and involve formulas of different herbs to target organ imbalances based on the five element theory.
Traditional Chinese medicine is an ancient system of healing that considers the body, mind, and spirit as a whole. It has been practiced for over 2,500 years in China. Some key components of traditional Chinese medicine include herbal remedies, acupuncture, massage, exercise, and diet. Diagnosis evaluates the pulse, tongue, sounds and smells of the body. The goal of treatment is to balance the flow of qi or life energy through the body. Maintaining health involves diet, exercise like tai chi and qigong, and preventing illness through lifestyle habits. Traditional Chinese medicine continues to be widely used today both in China and other parts of the world.
This document provides an overview of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It discusses key concepts like yin-yang balance and the five elements theory. Treatment methods covered include herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, tui na massage, qigong, tai chi, and meditation. Diagnosis techniques involve observing the patient, listening to their pulse, and examining their tongue. While generally safe, some potential risks from TCM are also outlined, such as herb-drug interactions and infection from unsterilized needles.

History of traditional chinese medicine powerpointjoan63
1) Traditional Chinese Medicine originated from ancient mythology and legends attributed to legendary emperors like Huang Di from around 2600 BC.
2) The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, compiled around 100 BC, is considered a foundational text of Chinese medicine and discusses theories like yin-yang and the five phases.
3) During the Han dynasty from 206 BC to AD 220, Chinese medicine developed further with integration of concepts like yin-yang and the five phases into diagnosis and treatment. Major texts from this period organized therapeutic approaches.
Chinese medicine has been practiced in China since the 3rd century and focuses on balancing Yin and Yang energies as well as the body and mind. Some key components of traditional Chinese medicine include acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal remedies, massage, qi gong, tai chi, and meditation. Acupuncture involves thin needles inserted at meridian points to stimulate the flow of qi, while moxibustion uses burnt moxa placed on points to strengthen blood and qi flow. Herbs are also vital for boosting qi and balancing Yin and Yang.
Physiotherapy has been used for thousands of years to treat pain and physical impairments through techniques like massage, manual therapy, and hydrotherapy. Greek physicians like Hippocrates were early practitioners of manual manipulation for pain relief. In the 1800s, Per Henrik Ling established schools of Swedish gymnastics and massage therapy. Physiotherapy treats patients through physical exercise and understanding of human biomechanics, while pharmacy focuses on biochemistry and recommending medication to treat illnesses. Physiotherapists work directly with patients, using exercise and manual therapy, whereas pharmacists treat patients by advising on appropriate drug-based treatments.
History and devolopment of physical therapy globaly and in pakistan. FurqanAli71
This document summarizes the history and evolution of the physical therapy profession. It began with ancient practices of massage and manual therapy techniques. The profession was formalized in the late 19th century with the establishment of training schools and professional organizations. Major developments included the treatment of soldiers in WWI, the first physical therapy school in the US in 1918, and the founding of the APTA in 1921. The field has continued to advance through specialization, adoption of the DPT degree, and establishment of professional programs in Pakistan beginning in the 1950s.
Physiotherapists rehabilitate and treat injuries, diseases, and impairments through programs that improve motor function and movement ability while relieving pain. Physiotherapy has evolved over thousands of years, with early concepts dating back to Hippocrates, Susrut, and Patanjali in ancient Greece and India.

We are today faced with numerous debilitating chronic illnesses related to aging, environment, and hedonistic lifestyle, such as cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular diseases as well as many incurable diseases such as AIDS. Modern medical advancements provide the rationale for the integration of various traditional healing techniques including Yoga to promote healing, health, and longevity. It is imperative that advances in medicine include the wholistic approach of Yoga to face the current challenges in health care. The antiquity of Yoga must be united with the innovations of modern medicine to improve quality of life throughout the world. While modern medicine has a lot to offer humankind in its treatment and management of acute illness, accidents and communicable diseases, Yoga has a lot to offer in terms of preventive, promotive and rehabilitative methods in addition to many management methods to tackle modern illnesses. While modern science looks outward for the cause of all ills, the Yogi searches the depth of his own self. This two way search can lead us to many answers for the troubles that plague modern man. It is suggested that a two way integration of the experimentally tempered modern science with the experientially modelled science of Yoga can lead us to many answers for challenges plaguing modern humankind such as debilitating chronic illnesses related to aging, environment, and hedonistic lifestyle.

Massage therapy has a long history in both Chinese (Tuina) and Indian (Nirvana) medical systems. Tuina is based on acupuncture meridians and aims to increase blood flow and remove pathogens. Nirvana adds a sense of calmness based on Ayurveda. Massage involves manual manipulation of muscles and soft tissues to aid circulation, relax muscles, and provide stimulation. Tuina techniques include soft tissue massage, acupressure, and musculoskeletal manipulation. Research shows massage therapy benefits infants' development and helps conditions like neuralgia, arthritis, and pain. It can also benefit cancer patients by reducing side effects from treatment and improving quality of life.
Alternative or Complimentary therapies were in practise long before conventional medicines came into being. Here we give a perspective of what are these therapies and the timeline
Acupuncture is a procedure originating in ancient China involving the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body. It is based on traditional Chinese medicine theories of balancing qi or life energy along meridians. Potential benefits include pain relief, prevention and treatment of disease, and addressing both physical symptoms and their emotional causes. Common conditions treated with acupuncture include pain, digestive issues, weight control, and addiction. Research also suggests acupuncture may improve rates of pregnancy and live birth when used alongside in vitro fertilization. While acupuncture has been practiced in Iran for around 20 years, training and equipment still often comes from abroad.

TCM qigong and self-healing in cancer recovery qigong4us
Most current cancer treatments focus on the cancer itself, but little on the internal environment that cultivated cancer growth in the first place, such as the stress and anxiety, cancer-phobia, emotional disturbance, relationship issues, life-style, nutrition, and purpose in life, etc. which may lead to cancer growth or recurrence. The self-healing retreat in University of Maryland is going to introduce the latest breakthrough in cancer therapy – YOU (the patient’s self-care and self-empowerment)!
TCM Qigong Self-Healing in Cancer Recoveryqigong4us

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medical practice with a scientific basis. Traditional Chinese Medicine views the body as having meridians and qi that acupuncture can influence to promote health and treat illness. Recent biomedical research shows acupuncture may work through peripheral sensory stimulation and modulating pain pathways in the central nervous system. Theories on how acupuncture relieves pain include stimulating the release of endogenous opioids, blocking pain transmission, vasodilation effects, and autonomic nervous system regulation.
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to improve health. It is used to treat conditions like back pain, arthritis, nausea, and depression. While acupuncture has benefits, there are also risks like infection, bleeding or organ puncture if not performed properly. It is performed by licensed acupuncturists or physicians with acupuncture training in settings like hospitals, chiropractic offices or medical clinics.
The document provides an overview of pain management in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It discusses the history and philosophies of TCM, including Yin-Yang theory and the five elements theory. It also describes TCM diagnostic techniques like pulse and tongue diagnosis. Key TCM concepts for pain like Qi, meridians, acupuncture points and bi syndromes are explained. The mechanisms of acupuncture for pain relief like the gate control theory and endorphin theory are summarized. Clinical applications of acupuncture for various pain conditions like headaches, arthritis and low back pain are also covered.
This document discusses various complementary and alternative therapies (CATs) that are used to treat female infertility, including in conjunction with traditional medical treatments. It provides definitions and categories of CATs, and describes several therapies in detail, including acupuncture, acupressure, cupping therapy, and moxibustion. The document explains how these therapies are believed to work in traditional Chinese medicine frameworks to improve blood flow, regulate hormones, reduce stress, and enhance fertility treatment outcomes.
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical practice that involves inserting thin needles into precise points on the body. It originated over 2000 years ago in China and was introduced to Europe in the 17th century. Modern research studies have found acupuncture can help reduce pain from conditions like arthritis, headaches, back pain, and some effects of cancer treatments, though evidence is still limited or inconclusive for other conditions. Potential risks of acupuncture include soreness, bleeding or infection at the needle sites. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health continues to research how and why acupuncture may relieve pain and other health issues.

Interstitial Cystitis (IC) is a chronic bladder condition characterized by pelvic pain and urinary urgency and frequency. The cause is unknown but may involve defects in the bladder lining. It predominantly affects women and symptoms can worsen premenstrually. Diagnosis involves patient history, physical exam, cystoscopy and ruling out other causes. Treatment progresses from behavioral modifications and physical therapy to medications, hydrodistension, nerve stimulation and rarely surgery. The goal is a multimodal approach to manage symptoms, with conservative treatments tried before more invasive options.
Alternative medicine is any practice that aims to achieve the healing effects of medicine, but which lacks biological plausibility and is untested, untestable or proven ineffective. Complementary medicine (CM), complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), integrated medicine or integrative medicine (IM), and holistic medicine are among many rebrandings of the same phenomenon. Alternative therapies share in common that they reside outside medical science, and rely on pseudoscience. Traditional practices become "alternative" when used outside their original settings without proper scientific explanation and evidence. Frequently used derogatory terms for the alternative are new-age or pseudo, with little distinction from quackery.
Dr. Kirk Johnson practices holistic and alternative medicine using chiropractic care, acupuncture, and functional medicine to treat common women's health conditions. He received postgraduate training in various complementary therapies and approaches the body as a interconnected system. Common treatments include chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, herbal supplements, dietary changes, and stress management to restore balance and support the body's natural healing abilities. Research shows that acupuncture and chiropractic care can effectively treat low back pain and that integrative approaches are beneficial for conditions like PMS, infertility, and adrenal fatigue.
This document summarizes research on using acupuncture to treat Meniere's disease. It discusses Meniere's disease and its symptoms from both Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine perspectives. A literature review found 3 studies showing acupuncture improved vertigo and dizziness associated with Meniere's disease. However, the research did not clearly show acupuncture improved hearing loss. The document discusses Meniere's disease and its treatment in the context of Yin-Yang balance and Traditional Chinese medicine patterns like dampness and wind. It concludes that while acupuncture may not treat hearing issues, it provides a feasible alternative or addition to Western treatments for controlling other Meniere's disease symptoms.

Pushing the Point: Integrating Acupressure & Oriental Medicine in Psychiatric...Dr. Jaclyn Engelsher, DNP
With the rising costs of care, decreased
reimbursement for services, and shortage of
mental health clinicians, patients and
providers are increasingly researching and
incorporating integrative therapies as part of a
holistic care plan. A review of the literature
revealed a growing evidence base for the
integration of Traditional Chinese Medicine
(TCM) therapies with allopathic medicine. This
has prompted nursing schools across the
country to include education on TCM in their
curriculums, encouraged hospitals and clinics
to add TCM therapies to their list of
psychiatric services, and resulted in
development of new protocols for addiction,
PTSD, and pain management. Acupressure, a
component TCM, is a non-invasive, integrative
modality that can help alleviate common
symptoms such as stress, anxiety, depression,
mental fatigue, and insomnia, while reducing
barriers of cost, time, and deleterious
medication side effects frequently found in
PMH treatment. A basic understanding of TCM
theory is necessary for nurses to teach and
use acupressure effectively in the inpatient
and outpatient settings. The session will
review the function and energetics of common
acupoints easily integrated into
Psychiatric/Mental Health nursing practice,
provide a live demonstration of acupressure
techniques, and include supervised practice
time to develop beginning skills and
experience the benefits.

This presentation explores common first-year practice struggles and provides methods to cope with stressors.
This presentation was prepared as part of a group consultation assignment in the psychiatric mental-health nurse practitioner program at University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center.
Social networking, a relatively new communication phenomenon, has the ability to provide education, foster advocacy, promote the profession, and influence mental health policy. It also has the potential to violate boundaries, infringe on privacy, create liability, and damage professional credibility. A review of the literature revealed limited research has been conducted concerning the impact and use of social networking sites in nursing practice and other healthcare disciplines.
In Psychiatric/Mental Health Nursing, communication is the foundation of the therapeutic alliance. Because social networking communications have the potential to positively and negatively affect this alliance, it is imperative to develop guidelines for prudent and resourceful usage of social networking media that complies with practice acts, promotes professionalism, and maintains work-life balance for the psychiatric mental health nurse. This session will provide an overview of different types of social media outlets, review published position statements from other healthcare disciplines, and consider best practices for Psychiatric/Mental health nursing.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Editor's Notes
2005 study demonstrated decreased fatigue and EKG changes, less reduction in wbc, platlets, hemoglobin compared to control group and 2003 on appetite showed regulate metabolism by increasing cellular activity, promoting protein synthesis, and regulating blood sugar, and it is able to regulate the immune system, in part by increasing the T lymphocytes.
The beneficial effects of transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the P6 antiemetic point (Neiguan) as an adjuvant to standard antiemetics was studied in over 100 patients in whom chemotherapy-induced sickness was not adequately controlled by antiemetics alone. Although the results were not quite as good as with invasive acupuncture, more than 75% patients achieved considerable benefit from what was a non-toxic procedure. The use of large diffuse low impedence electrodes simplifies the technique. The 2 hourly application of Sea Bands prolongs the antiemetic action. Best results were obtained from the 2 hourly self-administration of 5 min of transcutaneous electrical stimulation of P6 using a simple battery-operated TENS machine (15 Hz) to activate a large, easy-to-place surface electrode and increasing current until Qi is elicited.
