4. Physiomedical diagnosis (Alternative / Holistic medicinal aspect)
Symptoms: the subjective and objective superficial evidence of systemic disturbance.
Functional disorders: variations from normal standard performance or balance function in any organ or system, reflecting imbalance of autonomic function.
The true disease state: involving organic changes in cells and tissues.
The limit of treatment is restoration to a state of relative equilibrium.

5. Western Scientific Medicine
The most significant difference in the approach of orthodox Western medicine is it emphasis on symptom suppression primarily through the use of surgery and drugs.
Treatments are prescribed according to the specific disease, often with little regard for the nature and condition of the patient.
Differential diagnosis (lab tests, sensory technology ie. ultrasound , isotope tech, MRI, ECG, )

6. Comparison of Eastern and Western Medicine
Reductionism (reducing the body to its smallest components, organ system, tissue, cell)
Diagnosis is made from inside out (a cause is searched for a particular symptom [heartburn>antacid])
Often therapy is designed to kill symptom
No concept of an energy system
Mind and body considered separate-”mental health”
Balanced diet is defined in terms of dietary requirements and food group servings
Eastern
Holism – The whole is greater than the sum of the parts
Diagnosis is made from the outside in –as are many of the treatments :acupuncture massage
Therapies are designed to treat the underlying cause of symptoms
An energy system exist within the body “Qi”
The mind and body are not separated
Diet emphasizes eating particular food types to maintain balance of Qi doshas etc.
