TONGUE VS PULSE VS SYMPTOMS in combination

[size=18:0bab7b5796][/size:0bab7b5796] This work is dedicated to my tutor David Du and to the students of MEDBOO center all around the world ..
This is a single approach to make a good step for differentiation of the syndromes as they presented in the course A ..
I extracted this data wherever I meet tongue –pulse –symptoms in combination .. of course one must be very careful to conclude about the disease
It seems a good beginning but much work must be done..for there may be two or more syndromes complicated and concurrent , and must watch what is urgent or less important !!
This approach doesn’t include the differentiation of the meridians ..( there is not tongue –pulse observation in course A)…but they must be taken as exterior syndromes ..this data attached most likely to the ZHANG FU organs and I have found very helpful to me as I wish to be for every serious student .. good luck ..
