Two houses (with windows opened) are inhabited by flies and mosquitoes, for house A, a group of people use insecticide to eliminate the insects, however, more insects come after they leave; for house B., another group of people check the rooms and the surrounding and clean up the trash which draw insects, the insects fly away hours later. When people get fever caused by catching cold, western medicine use antibiotic to eliminate and suppress the abnormal flora. Unfortunately, some normal flora being killed and suppressed too, while Traditional Chinese Medicine check and clean up the houses of bacteria, open the pores and release excessive heat by making body sweat, and thus making abnormal flora restore to their normal condition.
TCM views human body as an integral ecosystem (the same goes for correlations between human being and the nature). When the ecosystem is in balance and prosperity, health is predominant; when it loses balance and prosperity, diseases or un-wellness occurs. Health is an expression of environmental harmony, while diseases are expressions of disharmony. TCM looks at the symptoms along with other diagnostic methods, instead of looking at the names of diseases, to identify what is impaired in the ecosystem. When the causes of the environmental disharmony are resolved and changed, health is restored.
Cardinal concerns exist in modern medicine. It is an unbelievable and irrational defeat that medicine, as a life and health science, is not able to get to the root of diseases, illnesses and un-wellness, but simply place a band-aid over the symptoms. It is the time for both masses and medical practitioners to reflect on and be aware of the cause and effect of disharmonies, and the pathogenic correlations, and look for natural methods and solutions to restore the balance and prosperity of the ecosystem, instead of spraying pesticide and fertiliser for the living beings. How many of us notice that after taking antibiotic to treat cold, some of us begin to suffer from bad cough or itches on skin, even nasitis and asthma after repeatedly taking medicine? How many of us notice that a high percentage of people taking antihypertensive agent suffer from, instead of avoiding from, brain haemorrhage and stroke years later? How many of us suffer with such” sub clinical symptoms” through long periods unnecessarily and are told that there is nothing wrong? Are you disappointed at and tired of medical futility?
We get used to a segmentary thinking pattern, and are not able to trace to the causes. The public are in a state of” collective unconsciousness” due to the propagation of mainstream media , which greatly impacts how we feel, how we view our bodies, and how we determine our choses and behaviors. We are suffering because of ignorance and unconsciousness. Nevertheless, this is the time we open our eyes to get the insights, refuse to live out our lives in ignorance and lies. This is the time we look for the panoramagram and clear our visions of life and health. And this site will be a window for people who want to benefit from and who are interested in learning the panoramagram from TCM viewpoint, including its philosophies, modalities, strengths and weaknesses as well, and people who are interested in learning traditional Chinese culture.
