- Not only are the methods of treatment as listed above quite different than
- allopathy, the methods of diagnosis have to be included in the list as being
- a part of TCM. They too differ from allopathic diagnostic methods.

- It is curious to me that two such different systems, TCM and western allopathy,
- can describe and treat the same organism. It would indeed be a challenge to
- find a way of reconciling the two systems.
