Chapter 6 - Jewish traditional medicine
(JTM) in history - Relationship modern
Western medicine and Traditional Oriental
Medicine (TOM) 107
“The basic principle of all principles and the foundation of
all wisdom is to know that there is a Primary Being
who brought into being all existence...
The reality of the Primary Being is arrived at in two ways,
through reason and through tradition”. 108

famous Jewish Medieval court physician in Egypt
107 TCM stands for traditional Chinese medicine. TCM has had a model function in South-East Asia and India, and can
be extended to traditional Oriental medicine because of its conformity in basic principles and medical practice. In this
study we regard TOM as fully and purely scientific. The conformity between JTM, TOM and modern Western medicine
is: firstly the conventionalism: each system defends itself and clings to acquisitions. Secondly the requirements for scientific
research: it must be implemented double blind and randomised and be “repeatable”. I put repeatable between quotes
because this can systematically be haggled over. All types of medicine and therapeutic practices that do not meet these
requirements and therefore are “pseudo-scientific”, are not relevant to this study.
With this, no qualitative judgment is given of the results of systems that are not defined as scientific. This dissertation
disregards positive or negative effects of medical or therapeutic practice of which results must be attributed to “unknown
possibilities”. That complaints are in remission for some time and return later, can neither be part of a value judgment, nor
of the definition of scientific. The discrepancy between “evidence based medicine” and “value based medicine” after
critical natural-scientific research, proves to be an artificial distinction in Western psychiatrics. I refer to the discussion
about the DSM V (2013) and commission Kupfer’s report in 2002 – by order of the American Psychiatrist Association
(ASA) - that demonstrated that no natural-scientific evidence could be provided for any psychiatric disease mentioned in
DSM IV. Therefore the term “evidence based medicine” is inappropriate for every psychiatric disease and only the term
“value based medicine” is justified. With this, the loud call of genetic determinism should be silenced. No schizophreniagene
was found. And even if it was, no evidence is provided that this genetic preoccupation caused the outbreak of the
disease. As I will demonstrate, connected to i.a. dr. Bruce Lipton’s new cell biology, environmental factors activate the
production of protein within the genetic arsenal. Quick conclusion: the gap between the West, JTM and TOM is smaller
than we presumed. The pertinacity is mostly in conventionalism as a defence mechanism. Where my research tapped the
deeper defence layers, it became clear that Darwinist evolution, with its struggle for life and adaptive survival programs, is
no longer tenable. No “standing up for yourself” at the expense of the “other” as a threat to your genes, but fruitful cooperation,
as the clustering of single-celled from which we too originated, has shown us. With this I have provided sufficient
opening for the view from which I conducted the research, the conclusions we will draw and the deriving recommendations
for university education and research.
