Well, I'd like to be able to give you a list of a few herbs, a special recipe, and maybe some little-known Chinese technique to practice and, boom, you'd have a healthy, strong immune system, but I can't. It doesn't work that way in CM and I'll tell you why. First of all, CM doesn't even have an immune system. There is nothing in CM that is identical to the Western medical concept of an immune system. There are aspects of CM that have similar functions as the immune system, but CM has a very different perspective on health than T-cell count.
CM views the body as a dynamic system of interrelated parts working together as a whole.
It is when this system is working in a harmonious and balanced way that a person is considered to be healthy. Disease arises when balance is lost. Everyone is absolutely unique and has his or her own individual challenges. First of all, everyone is born with inherent constitutional strengths and weaknesses. It comes from your parents.
