Is the pathology under Oriental medical sciences OM pathology or Western pathology?
Here the concept of pathology is the OM view except it is explained in modern terms that can be understood and appreciated by any medical professional. The OM model is much more integrated in that it considers the total human situation involving external and internal factors, including emotions and vitalities. Now medical doctors are making discoveries covered by the OM pathogenic model with respect to the neuroendocrine system and behavior involved in health and disease. Soon they will be making claims they discovered something new, just as they are in the process of reinventing acupuncture and now condemning acupuncture taught using energy-meridian concepts as being metaphysical or a religion. Western pathology is studied in biomedical sciences which can then be correlated with the OM perspective during the OM medical science studies.
