Can TCM strengthen our immune systems?
"strengthen the immune system" is a phrase that can be used for a variety of products and services. Luckily, this statement is within the federal guidelines of what is safe to say about medicine. I personally feel TCM can do much more and should be allowed to have the information disclosed about it. The world health organization and various other groups invested in health care have defined effective applications for TCM...and now because of their efforts groups like Kaiser recognize it's aptitude for helping with pain management. Ultimately, TCM does not only strengthen the "immune" system, but it actually recognizes that their is one, and understands it as a complex and alive interaction...though we don't call it "immune system" we'd more likely refer it to "wei level qi"
I definitely had this in mind as I reflected upon that question. Yes, let's take it beyond strengthening the immune system--and I like how you are talking about it in the language of TCM, too!
