One of the primary assertions of Chinese medicine is a simple law of energetics. Changes in matter are always preceded by a change in the state of ENERGY. A basic general relativity statement is that mass tells space how to curve, and space tells mass how to move. In other words, mass forms the geometry of space, the geometry of space, in turns, dictates the behavior of mass within it.
Space tells mass how to move (energy), the space of the acupuncture channels, the space of the gravitational field of our bodies, in which the mass has to fill up the geometry of the field. As we manipulate the force of the gravitational field of the body through acupuncture, the mass has no alternative but to behave accordingly within the field. So change the energy and you change the mass. Chinese medicine works by manipulating the energetic force fields. Since all states of matter are preceded by a change in the state of the energy, Chinese medicine allows us the opportunity to detect these changes in the states of energy before they've had an opportunity to change the state of the mass. The alteration or imbalance in the energetic field of the system is reflected in the pulse, the tongue, or complexion. They reveal the configuration of the force before it actually manifests as physical damage. We can detect it before it's done damage, and return it back to homeostasis. We don't have to wait for tissues to degenerate, because the energetic alterations send out detectable red flags before there's an opportunity for damage, and can be corrected at that point.
The Lingshu says "The superior doctor PREVENTS disease; the mediocre doctor treats imminent illness, the inferior physician treats the actual disease."

I love your thoughts about how energy medicine can heal the person before their body starts to reflect the disease. Returning balance and homeostasis is what it's all about. And that quote from the Lingshu is great- inspiring words.
Joe, you are a superb scientist, a great philosopher, and will be a phenomenal doctor. Clear and concise thoughts on acupuncture as effective energy medicine. Lingshu, truest words... I resonate with your analogies of energy and how it relates to the practice of TCM.
