Abstract :

Traditionally, chrono-acupuncture ziwuliuzhu has always been performed in premodern China under the guidance and rules of the Traditional Chinese Calendar lifa. However, with the political demise of the lifa (traditional Chinese Calendar) in 1911, the Chinese calendar was translated or rendered in a one-sided fashion into the image of the �universe� of the Western Gregorian Calendar and the Greenwich Mean Time. In this presentation, I illustrate the performance of chrono-acupuncture ziwuliuzhu (or the �law of midday-midnight� or Chinese biological clock pattern) in the Southern Hemisphere using the �2013 Chinese Stems and Branches Calendrical Clock. Specifically, I will demonstrate through the medium of the Medical Case Record yi an the successful use of chrono-acupuncture and chemotherapy in dealing with lung cancer as kesou (�cough�).
