Skeptics surround us and are very vocal with their anti-Chinese Medicine opinions, which are 95% of the time based on un-true information. They make me angry mainly because they publish lies and twisted information which they present as true. Why must it always be one thing or the other? Why can’t Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine co-exist and provide the best of both worlds for the patient? [...] [...] Penn & Teller vs. Chinese Medicine is taken from The Life Giving Sword, a blog about Chinese Medicine.

Saying "the Lung Channel" doesn't provide anywhere near the implications that "Shou Tai Yin" does. I mean, there's got to be a reason why it was named that instead of "the Wei Channel."

Perhaps that's what you're saying? That they miss something by leaving out the REST of the system? I think that's true and a symptom of the materialist culture that contemporary TCM grew up emulating. Hand Taiyin includes the lung organ network, but also includes the damp aspects of the body, the connections to the Spleen and many other functions and locations of the human being as well as interconnections with macrocosmic phenomenon. When we reduce this to "lung" we lose all of those layers of meaning, thus pathologies confuse us, formulas elude us and we become generally ineffective. Yeah?
