  • From DNA to Traditional Chinese Medicine

    • 1st Edition
    • Jesse Li-Ling
    • English
    From DNA to Traditional Chinese Medicine presents how genetic disorders can be explained using concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This book explores the striking correlation between the characteristics of congenital syndromes and fundamental concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine, such as Jing-Mai (Meridians or Channels) and Zang-Fu (the Yin and Yang internal organs). This correlation appears to be systematic and comprehensive, suggesting that these Chinese concepts have correctly summarized the connections between particular parts of the human body during embryonic development. Should this discovery be correct, it will have an immense impact on the understanding of genomic medicine as well as Chinese medicine. The uncovering of the mechanism of Chinese medicine, may also lead to development of new treatments for various human diseases. This book covers topics including genetic syndromes and fundamental concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Starting with DiGeorge/Velocardiof... syndrome, this book will first introduce the basics of Medical Genetics and congenital syndromes, and then the fundamental concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine including Jing-Mai and Zang-Fu. It will provide a completely new perspective on genetic syndromes with insights into how they relate to Traditional Chinese Medicine. This book is a valuable resource for graduates, medical undergraduates and researchers as well as professionals from both academia and industry.
