Biophysics and Oriental Medicine

I think the thinking patterns and perception that forms the foundation of Oriental Medicine could really serve those in the field of biophysics. This thinking can be and is applied to both the largest and smallest particles, concepts of energy and movement and matters of life, death and beyond. One of its strengths is that it can be applied to anything in the universe and is not dependent on what something IS, rather what it is like; specifically, how it behaves. We can not necessarily and with definitely explain what wind IS but we can describe how it behaves and interacts with other elements and beings. Because emphasis is placed more on how things behaves and less on what they are fundamentally, I think it is a more versatile school of thought, with more possibility for evolution of understanding. As "the West" embarks on more complex endeavors to control life and health, there is more danger of toying with things not fully understood and perhaps creating severe problems. Molecular biology, genetics engineering, nanotechnology, all could benefit from taking (several!) steps back and viewing the whole picture, outside the boundaries of modern scientific thinking.
