One concept that is central to Chinese medicine that the scientific world is still struggling to accept is an internal substance that the Chinese call "Qi" (pronounced "chee", sometimes spelled "Chi"). In the West we could describe this as bio-electric energy. You can't look at it under a microscope, you can't detect it with any scientific instruments, you can't isolate it from a substrate. Western science tends to forget all the things they claimed didn't exist until they developed a way to measure something. I am old enough to remember when vitamins were a silly fad and there were only four food groups and the concept of eating certain foods to fight cancer would have gotten you locked up in a looney bin. There IS something there, I just don't know what it is but it is fun to play with.
