Even though Eastern and Western medicine are very different I believe that they can work together.
In traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis do not exist the way they do in modern medicine. There concepts deal mainly with the belief of Yin and Yang. Everything should be in Balance and Harmony. Qi, which is one of the main fundementals of this belief system, is everything in the universe. It is the thread that connects all matter organic and inorganic. Without it Yin and Yang would not exist.
In the body Qi flows along pathways called meridians.
