Während aber sowohl die Pulsdiagnose als auch das Gespräch/Befragung zahlreichen subjektiven Faktoren von Patient/Therapeut unterworfen sind, ist die Zungendiagnostik gut dokumentierbar und auch für den Patienten zumindest in groben Zügen nachvollziehbar. So kann der Verlauf der Behandlung auch durch ihn beobachtet und der Effekt von therapeutischen Maßnahmen wie Akupunktur, Kräutern, Ernährungsänderungen und Änderung der Lebensweise kontrolliert werden.

(Teil eines Vortrags in Düsseldorf, September 2011) Prof. (Univ. Chengdu/China) Andreas A.Noll Tue, 27 Sep 2011 13:40:58 +0200 152bec5cd653bb36d8262858d500e624 http://tcm-praxis.podspot.de/post/umweltgifte-und-tcm/ Vortrag (Auszug) auf der 7. Internationalen Daoismuskonferenz in Nanyue/China Sexuality and Infertility: From Han dynasty medicine to modern IVF Qiuzi- the desire of sons or the desire for children nowaday is main theme of mankind since the beginning of he human race. Getting descendants was ever more than existencially for the survival of each individual as well as any community. In China as well in the modern western world, issues of reproduction and sexuality have been determined significantly by the culture as a whole. There in China since the fifth century BC, the culture and the way of thoughts were shaped by the two great religious-philosophical currents, namely Confucianism and Daoism, and later since the first century CE also by Buddhism. Daoism is designed much more loosely than Confucianism. We can distinguish between several developments since its creation by Laozi and Zhuangzi, most likely contemporaries of Kongzi: • Sociopolitical developments (Laozi), • philosophical teachings (Zhuangzi), • a religion with a particular world of deities (assimilated from popular religion, which also included the fangshi magicians, widely popular until the Qing period), • the ability to cultivate life (yang sheng), • religious cult with sometimes sexual practices, etc. Especially the aspect of “cultivating life” (yang sheng), which included efforts to achieve longevity and immortality, developed numerous strategies in the areas of sexuality and reproduction. Confucianism is rooted in a worldview that defines the individual as part of society, and that not only on a synchronic plane, that is, during the person's lifetime, but in addition also in terms of obligations towards ancestors and descendants. All individual efforts should serve first and foremost the creation and preservation of a good and just society by a system of mutual, carefully graded rights and responsibilities. The personal fulfillment of wishes and claims of the individual was secondary to this, unlike the West, where the individual was the governing force since Plato. All human efforts, hence also including sexuality, had to be subordinated to this overarching benefit to society as a whole. Reproduction assumed a central role until the modern age, especially since Neo-Confucianism developed around the 12th century CE in the Song dynasty. Concepts of sexuality, on the other hand, were primarily developed in Daoism. Confucianism, which should in fact be considered a philosophical and social concept rather than a religion, moreover incorporated ancestor worship, practiced in China since thousands of years. This tradition is based on a system of mutual obligations within families, far beyond the present existence. The “Begetting of sons” was therefore an indispensable part of this system. In regards to reproduction, Confucian thought also influenced the other two great religions in China. For Buddhism, all life is suffering. This suffering has four causes, among which the second cause is desire, or thirst, that is, for the so-called “lusts of the five senses,” for existence, for becoming, and for non-existence. The goal of Buddhism is liberation from the eternal cycle of rebirth. In this context, Confucian ideas about descendants and ancestors are just as irrelevant as Daoist ideas about longevity and immortality. Hence, Buddhist monks are not allowed to touch women or spend time with a woman in a secret or non-public place, let alone engage in sexual intercourse. In Buddhism, sexuality is not seen as reprehensible per se, but only as part of general badness that must be overcome because it stands in the way of enlightenment. We also need to mention that Tantric Buddhism, a school of Buddhism, consciously cultivated sexuality in “red” or “left-handed” Tantra and engaged in sexual practices to unite the polarities. But not all forms of Tantrism include real sexual intercourse, such as Buddhist and Hindu Tantrism. Especially during the times of Kublai Khan (1216-1294 CE), this school exerted considerable influence, which however declined afterwards and partly continued to exist in turn in Daoist communities like the Quanzhen order.. But over thousands of years it was a mystery: why can some people get children and others not? What could be the cause for infertility. May be ghosts and demons…good for everything on the world, what was not explainable. May be the ancestors, who didn´t receive enough attention and care. But since the beginning of medicine in imperial some causes for infertility, based on health and habits of women and men as well as in astrological constellations were found. That means in contradictory to the intention of the heaven and the fate. the ancient doctors diagnosed the cause for infertility in internal and external factors. 5 Taxations leads to 7 damages of the flow of qi in the body. Main symptoms for these damages for women were different disturbances of the menses. They had to be cured as a precondition for pregnancy. But also man could be responsible for infertility – described in this medical classic from the Tang Dynasty. Zhu Bing Yuan Hou Lun (Thesis on the Origins and Symptoms of Diseases). Written by Chao Yuan-Fang. No essence jing, no yang qi or stagnation of qi therefore cause childlessness. Misscariage was possible by bad habits of woman during pregnancy. some important medical classics about pregnancy, women diseases and infertility. In the recent past, the “sexual revolution” and the anti-baby pill have separated sex from reproduction. “Free love” created the possibility of having sex without begetting a child, while modern biomedicine now promises a child without sex. We apparently must distinguish here between two terms that in fact exist separately from each other but are nevertheless intimately interwoven. The close connection between sexuality and reproduction was formed in our culture only under the influence of Christianity. Hinduism likewise postulates “chastity in marriage,” as a result of which sexuality was shifted into the realm of extramarital activities like prostitution. A process that was and is certainly also found in the Greco-Roman-Christian cultural complex as a result of sexual asceticism. The notion that the male seed (just like a seed of grain) already contained all life and that women therefore merely served as a fertile field survived into the 17th century CE. Thomas Aquinas (13th c.) still imagines the sexual act in paradise without any sensation of pleasure and considers matrimony as the will of god, as long as it serves the begetting of children. Luther also sees sexual pleasure as resulting from the Fall of Man, but tolerates marriage also “for the sake of harlotry,” as a medicine against unchastity. This purposive-rational attitude continues to survive in Calvinism and in radical Puritanism (USA). In the course of enlightenment, which demanded in the 17th/18th century a “free man, absolved from a self-imposed immaturity” (Kant), sexuality experienced a partial redefinition in the relationship between man and woman, in the sense that it stressed emotional, sensual relationships based on respect and mutuality. This development was continued by the Romanticists in the 18th century. Very different, however, Sigmund Freud. In his work and on the basis of psychoanalytic reasoning, he created new notions about sexuality that have influenced our thinking deeply even to this day. Influenced by mechanistic ideas, terms like “drive,” “suppression,” “the unconscious,” etc. are deeply anchored in our use of language. Freud “mechanized” and (pathologized) sexuality as a source of neuroses as well as of cultural developments. In the most recent past, AIDS and Viagra have contributed significantly to a more open treatment of questions of sexuality. Many couples in fertility treatment appear to give priority more to the above-mentioned problems than to a lively sexuality; and sexual intercourse itself as well as fertilization become increasingly mechanized in the course of the various attempts, and are performed with a purposive attitude Therefore the problem of infertility is still very important in the modern world. Modern technics cause new possibilities. And the practitioner of Chinese Medicine has to consider this fact. He has to combine the experience and knowledge of the old chinese medical classics with the stormy development and achievements. the modern artifical reproductive technics ART offers manifold mechanic methods. these methods are necessary, because the modern life cause some general problems and questions. in my two clinics in Berlin and Munich in Germany I am loking for the comprehensive constellation of partnership, body and mind, which could be the cause for infertility. The consequence of the diagnosis are several advices and therapeutic strategies. but: beside the strategies, don´t forget the surrounding! Prof. (Univ.

Chengdu/China) Andreas A.Noll Sat, 23 Jul 2011 08:17:47 +0200 180867e2b84c88965916f177fe920016 http://tcm-praxis.podspot.de/post/blutegel-im-schauglas/ Lecture at the 3rd International Conference for Modernization of TCM, Chengdu 2011 Three decades ago in Germany and in Europe large parts of the population and doctors usually only knew acupuncture and not the other parts of the overall system of TCM. Since the 70s more and more patients have been treated with acupuncture. The range of literature - translated from Chinese and as secondary literature – grew and therefore the need and opportunities for special training and courses grew too. Since about 20 years Chinese herbs are available in larger quantities and good quality in Germany, so that the herbal therapy is now an integral part of the treatment options. Indigenous medicine in Germany In Germany there is a very long tradition of natural healing. This tradition has always been popular and widely accepted in large parts of the population as an addition to the established modern Western medicine. This includes in particular the indigenous herbal medicine, homeopathy and other methods of traditional medicine. At one third of the 36 medical universities in Germany it is possible to study homeopathy as an elective subject to the western medicine. Since 2003, natural remedies are part of the official teaching and examination material for prospective medical students. Natural healing methods are also used in many combinations and variations of the patients in the self-treatment without any professional prescription. In many therapeutic facilities they were prescribed for decades. About 50% of all chronically patients in Germany have experiences in alternative and complementary medicine. In acutely ill people, this ratio is 30%. These local natural healing traditions have also led to the development of specific legal structures in the practice of medicine in Germany. Thus, both western-trained doctors and naturopathic practitioners are accepted and registered as medical professionals. The economic importance of natural medicine can bee seen by the amount of money spent for herbs. For example, in the years 2003-2004: 5 billion Dollars were spent for herbal remedies in Western Europe. Germany annually consumes about 45,000 tons of medicinal plants and thus takes the leading position in Europe. Practice of Chinese medicine in Germany In the last decades mistrust and disliking of Western medicine grew in the German population. This was due to the many discovered side effects and increasing mechanization of modern scientific medicine. Naturopathic methods and resources are regarded as free of side effects and safe. Therefore Chinese medicine in Germany is very popular and demanded. The reason for this popularity is the high reputation of Chinese medicine, especially the long traditions of China and the great respect for the achievements of recent decades. Treatment with TCM is for many people an alternative to Western medicine. The most important reason for this acceptance is the comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic system. But the philosophical background of Chinese medicine from Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism seem particularly attractive too. The effectiveness of acupuncture for pain disorders has been proved in extensive scientific studies with up to 500,000 participants by now. The acceptance of acupuncture is particularly good for functional disorders but also for psychosomatic disorders, immune system disorders, pain, male and female diseases. About 1.5 million people per year in Germany have been treated by acupuncture. The average age of patients being treated by the methods of TCM decreased significantly in the last 20 years. For example in my clinics, the average patient is now 40 years old, at the beginning in the early 80 it was approximately 60 years. Usually treatments in Germany take place in private clinics of doctors and medical practitioners as well as in more than 10 mostly private hospitals. An estimated 40,000 doctors and many of the 15,000 medical practitioners at least are treating occasionally with acupuncture. But less than 10% of these therapists are trained in the use of Chinese herbal medicine. The cost of acupuncture is covered by the public health insurance for some pain diseases when they are treated by medical doctors. The private health insurances will refund the cost for treatment by a medical practitioner too. About 10% to15% of the population are members of a private insurance. Already 10 years ago 250 million Euro are spent per year for acupuncture. Some figures from recent years: Expenses in the entire field of TCM in Germany are around 3.2 billion euros. In Germany more than 500 tons of Chinese herbs processed per year The practice of TCM as a legal profession is in Germany only allowed for Western-trained physicians and government certified medical practitioners. These naturopaths are trained mostly in private schools. Some areas of TCM, such as Tuina, Tai Chi and Medical Qigong can be practiced by physical therapists and lay people. For the education and training of TCM there are no fixed legal requirements in Germany. Any doctor or therapist may treat with acupuncture, without having to undergo extensive training. Voluntary certification is done by the professional associations of doctors and medical practitioners. The recommended training duration in TCM, including acupuncture and herbal medicine consist of about 1000-1500 hours of lectures in theory and practice. Many universities offer less comprehensive courses for doctors in acupuncture and TCM. In recent years several cooperation agreements between Chinese and German universities have been arranged. The training is also carried by professional associations at conferences and conventions, such as at the TCM Congress in Rothenburg annual since 41 years, currently with about 1,200 participants. This congress is the largest of its kind in the Western world. -Folie- Outlook Chinese medicine is very well known and very popular in Germany. Both the practice of acupuncture and herbal therapy, however, require an extensive education and training. Necessary and essential for this purpose is an intensive connection of the therapists and the professional associations to Chinese universities. By this way TCM - like German natural healing traditions - will become an accepted and integral part of the medical health care. Prof. (Univ.

In der alten chinesischen Medizinphilosophie ist dies die Wandlungsphase Erde- sowohl im Makrokosmos (Um-)Welt als auch im Mikrokosmos Mensch – der in seiner Subjektivität auch immer der Mittelpunkt seiner Welt ist. Jede Wandlung und Veränderung in dieser Welt braucht einen Ursprung und hat die Erhaltung und Erweiterung des Festen und ursprünglichen Zustands als Folge. Diese Wandlung ist Dynamik und somit Qi, das zwischen Himmel und Erde entsteht. Es hält gewaltiges Potential für jegliche materielle und geistige Entwicklung des Lebens bereit. Leben ist Entwicklung, die sich sowohl synchron und als auch diachron in der Zeit um ein stabiles Zentrum herum aufbaut. Impulse materieller wie immaterieller Art werden ständig aufgenommen. Je nach aktuellem Bedarf werden diese dann entweder assimiliert oder eliminiert. Ein ständiger, unablässiger Vergleich findet zwischen Vorhandenem und Überflüssigem statt. Aus der Leere heraus erwachsen Bedürfnisse und Verlangen, die Triebfedern des Daseins. Fülle hingegen bewirkt Sattheit, Zufriedenheit und Stagnation. Achtsamkeit und das Bewusstsein der Wertigkeit sind die wichtigsten Strategien für eine überlastete Wandlungsphase Erde im Menschen. Die Überforderung der Kapazitäten für die Assimilation von Energien vielfältigster Art aus der Um- und Mitwelt belasten Milz und Magen, führen zu Verdauungsstörungen auf materieller wie geistig-seelischer Ebene.
