Dr. Oz and the Controversial Healing Methods of Iridology, Tongue and Pulse Diagnosis, and Common Sense
Dr. Oz seemed stumped today as he watched Dr. Ali give two correct diagnoses for the two audience members he evaluated on the show today.
While Dr. Oz calls these methods controversial, we call them holistic and traditional. Tongue and Pulse Diagnosis has been an integral part of TCM for thousands of years. Any good acupuncturist worth their salt will perform this diagnosis. It’s nothing new and it has been sufficient for much longer than Western Medicine has existed!
Dr. Oz is still somewhat arrogant in his assessment of other healing methods and it certainly showed today. It was almost as if he suddenly wanted to find out exactly how Dr. Ali saw what made the diagnosis. He’ll be thinking about this for quite some time to come, if he is truly a Healer. He’ll want to know more. Clearly, Dr. Oz was surprised that Dr. Ali was correct both times in his diagnosis.
Iridology is not new to us. It was one of the primary holistic diagnostic tools that we were exposed to in the early 1980’s. It’s incredulous to me that Western Medical Doctors are so oblivious to these techniques and ‘schools of thought’. They dismiss it and discredit it without even making an effort to understand it…
Dr. Ali was humble and just went about his business. He began to move into the ‘treatment mode’ with the woman who presented with headaches. I would have done the same thing to help her alleviate her headaches.
Both audience members acknowledged that Dr. Ali knew what he was doing with his diagnosis and they were satisfied. This is why so many patients are moving over to be treated by holistic practitioners. They understand that these Healers know more and have all of the tools and resources they need. When Western Medical doctors learn to integrate these holistic approaches into their practices or make referrals or work as a Team, they will have finally begun doing more for their patients than for their own egos.
There’s no controversy here, there’s only arrogance and ignorance on the part of physicians who have not been completely trained in the Healing Arts from around the world. Common Sense dictates that they will open their minds and embrace all of the techniques that help people…
Dr. Oz and Dr. Ali on Iridology and Tongue/Pulse Diagnosis
If you learned anything today, it’s that Dr. Ali is not practicing some ‘unorthodox’ or ‘controversial’ form of medicine. He is utilizing proven techniques and methods that have been used my so many of us who are using a holistic approach to Healing and Wellness. Dr. Oz needs to expand his horizons…
