Patients, who have been successfully treated, regularly refer others who are experiencing the same problem. This on this surface seems straightforward. Common sense suggests that if a condition can be treated easily for one patient, then it can also be easily treated for another. This however is not necessarily the case.
Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine are by nature highly idiosyncratic. This means there are a multitude of variables involved in its application. Effective treatment requires specific custom designed acupuncture and/or herbal medicine prescriptions which exactly match each patient’s individual situation.
To add further difficulty, Chinese Medicine is an effective energetic medicine. The system of diagnosis is designed to identify the underlying energetic imbalance which is causing the illness/symptoms.
All this leads to a somewhat unusual situation. A condition, as we understand it in western medical science, can be caused by more than one energetic imbalance. So, two patients who presented with, for example an absence of a menstruation could be successfully treated using very different approaches. To add to the complexity, one of these patients may have received a treatment very similar to someone else who was experiencing a totally different condition (such anxiety and depression). There is a saying in Chinese Medicine which translates to say, there are multiple approaches to treat a single condition, and there are multiple conditions which can be treated with the one approach.
Given this, it is easy to see how treatment outcomes can be very different between two friends who seek treatment for what appears to be the same fertility problem.
