Healthy Test Results Does Not Necessarily Mean You are Healthy
A lot of times, patients will come to me with their diagnostic test results and show that all markers are within the normal ‘healthy’ range.
However when I did my assessment with pulse taking and tongue diagnosis and various other assessments using ancient methods such as Metaphysics and scientific physical assessment such as Body Reading, it apparently showed that the patient is having some health problems. Even upon verbal consultation, the patient will tell me that he/she is not feeling well at all.
So why does the test result show that the person is healthy although he/she is in fact not well?
There are a few reasons:
1. You may be functionally ill already, building up towards crossing the ‘healthy’ range
The range that western medicine diagnostic tests has been set as the healthy standard is influenced by scientific controlled trials which are constantly changing year by year with every new research protocol, standard and even country. The range is for the mass public but individual conditions can vary. Although you may fall within the ‘healthy’ range, the fact that you are not feeling good means that you are already functionally building up to the stage beyond the range of clinically healthy standards.
2. The tests are not testing the right organs or systems that are affected
The mechanism of illness formation in alternative medicines and TCM encompass a whole range of theory and philosophies that are somewhat different from the Western medicine and science. For example, for eyes issues, Western medicine will only and purely focus on the eyes for treatment, at most spanning it out to the brain for finding the root cause of the issue. In TCM and alternative medicines, because they encompass the theory of meridians, eyes are located along the pathway of Liver meridian and hence when we do our assessment for patients and find that there are no physiological issues with the eyes themselves, we can trace it to the Liver as a causality factor for such condition. The thing is even though meridians and energy channels are still not fully scientifically recognized, the fact that alternative medicines can solve the eye issue by targeting the Liver shows that the theory stands.
So sometimes the tests that have been prescribed are simply not testing the root affected organs or systems, because the theories backing the assessments that help to identify the root problem don’t exist in these Western scientific tests. Hence they are only focused on the specific organ or area of lesion itself, nothing beyond.
The beauty of TCM and alternative medicines is that it is able to catch and do something at the grey area when you are feeling unwell but not officially diagnosed and labelled with the condition. So don’t be deluded by diagnostic test results, trust your feelings and sensations about your own body, seek out help in the alternative medicine world which don’t brush you off as just “everything is in your head”.
