  3. Physiomedical diagnosis(Alternative / Holistic medicinal aspect) Symptoms: the subjective and objective superficial evidence of systemic disturbance. Functional disorders: variations from normal standard performance or balance function in any organ or system, reflecting imbalance of autonomic function. The true disease state: involving organic changes in cells and tissues. The limit of treatment is restoration to a state of relative equilibrium.

  4. Western Scientific Medicine • The most significant difference in the approach of orthodox Western medicine is it emphasis on symptom suppression primarily through the use of surgery and drugs. • Treatments are prescribed according to the specific disease, often with little regard for the nature and condition of the patient. • Differential diagnosis (lab tests, sensory technology ie. ultrasound , isotope tech, MRI, ECG, )

  5. Comparison of Eastern and Western Medicine • Western • Reductionism (reducing the body to its smallest components, organ system, tissue, cell) • Diagnosis is made from inside out (a cause is searched for a particular symptom [heartburn>antacid]) • Often therapy is designed to kill symptom • No concept of an energy system • Mind and body considered separate-”mental health” • Balanced diet is defined in terms of dietary requirements and food group servings • Eastern • Holism – The whole is greater than the sum of the parts • Diagnosis is made from the outside in –as are many of the treatments :acupuncture massage • Therapies are designed to treat the underlying cause of symptoms • An energy system exist within the body “Qi” • The mind and body are not separated • Diet emphasizes eating particular food types to maintain balance of Qi doshas etc.
