dynamic points vs dynamic treatment
I need to acknowledge that to a certain extent I'm using Prof Wei's distinction between dynamic and static points towards my own ends - namely fighting against a certain style of acupuncture practice that I would describe as "fallout-from-TCM-education-system style" or "static treatment"; ie diagnosing a disease (usually WM), basing the choice of static points on that diagnosis, then repeating the same acupuncture treatment until the disease is cured or the patient gets fed up.
More on that later, but I need to be careful not to muddy the waters by mixing up 'dynamic points' with 'dynamic treatment'; the latter being a style that makes dynamic use of static points - changing the 'point prescription' based on the feedback (from palpation, needle/moxa response, symptoms, signs) gained about the current state of the disease.
