Read this forum post recently, from a guy living in China.
This doctor i’ve been seeing here in Tianjin… he is amazing.
I’ve SEEN him tell patients about the following things without them giving him any information about it. Only feeling the pulse. He assures me he doesn’t ’see’ anything else, only uses the pulse. He works in many small clinics and has no contact with any previous medical histories of the people. There’s a huge line waiting to go see this guy. He’s an expert at helping people have a baby. He said he will try teach me after chinese new year which i’m pretty excited about, but i’m sure it will be hard since my chinese is pretty crappy and my wife can’t translate every day.
- He knew a lady had just eaten a sweet potato.
- Somebody ate too many sunflower seeds – he loved them.
- Knows if your hungry or not
- knows blood sugar level
- That a lady had a real metal key inside her belly
- That a woman had a misscarage, how long it was into pregnancy and that it was due to a chromozone issue.
- Knew that a lady had a cancer removed and the exact size of it.
- Asked me if i got a run in the morning, i said no? then he said soon you will and so i did.
- Knew that a lady had semen still inside her body.
- Knows when sperm and egg have connected
- Knows when the sperm/egg has stuck on the wall of the womb
- When someone is pregnant.
- After a couple of big nights on the booze he said my sperm had no tails haha
- He knows if your baby will be a boy or a girl just according to the egg and it’s position… nothing to do with the sperm
- He can try to alter things so you can have a boy if u want or a girl if you want.
- A girl came in she couldn’t walk had to be carried by 2 people. After 1 month of eating herbs she can walk around and play normally. (the girl’s sister said it was true)
- He knew someone had cancer (they already knew but they didn’t tell the doctor) and her referred them to a big hospital.
- Knew a pregnant girl had a sore rib, and said it was because the baby’s leg was pressing against it.

The “paleo” approach to things is turning into something of a boom, particularly in the areas of movement and diet. In the movement world, you’ve got Frank Forencich’s “Exuberant Animal” approach, based somewhat in evolutionary biology; and Erwan Le Corre’s MovNat. In the diet world, paleo diets have been thrown around for some years now, with one prominent source being Weston A. Price, who inspired, among others, Sally Fallon and her Nourishing Traditions.
Recently there was a New York Times article on some “paleo” people living in New York City, essentially profiling a small group of people who wanted to have the diet and exercise part but were “happy in the modern world,” driving cars and such. There are a wide range of positions, actually; certainly the people I was with (and was one of) were more heavily in the anti-anything-to-do-with-modern-civilization crowd.
For the most part, I just want to say, kudos to people trying to get back to natural roots and effective ways of living. I’m still trying to get back to those practices.
But, just to explore this a bit, I’ve got some criticism.

The problem is one of creative manifestation.
A person with power is able to affect the world around him, literally in ripples of energy and influence that radiate from him. To me this is significant because this act of influence is an act that transforms the rules of the game that is this life.
We live by rules in all dimensions of existence. Being alive in time and space means abiding by the rule that we move forward in time, moment by moment in sequence, always from the past to the future. And we have the rule that we move about in space. These are rules we all have no choice but to follow. It represents some of the deepest rules of our existence.
Then there are the rules that govern us as biological creatures. We are born, we grow, we reproduce, we die. We absorb energy from our environment or from other creatures we come into contact with (sometimes violently), and we excrete waste from our bodies. These rules are not quite as universal; since not everything in this universe is a biological creature, not everything has to follow those rules. But we humans do.
Then we have the rules that govern us as social creatures. Here’s where the amazing variety of cultural practices and traditions come into play, things that we’ve been conditioned to do since birth. On the simple side, shaking hands with people; saying “bless you” if someone sneezes; holding the door open for someone. On the more complicated side, things like going to school, making a living, contributing to society in a “productive way,” adding to the “progress” of civilization.
