Alternative medicine, The mystery of chi

The Mystery of Chi

Vintage documentary, vhs rip, sound could be a bit better.

In this video, Bill Moyers spends his time touring Beijing with David Eisenberg. Eisenberg was a graduate of Harvard Medical School and was an intern in a Boston hospital, but he also had extensive experience with traditional Chinese
medicine (and speaks Chinese well enough to carry on simultaneous conversations with the informants and with
Moyers)

One emphasis throughout the film is the importance of chi(vital energy) to Chinese medicine/thought in general. For the Chinese, the human body is based on energy: when these energies are in balance, one is healthy, and when they are out of balance, one is unhealthy. Eisenberg and Moyers go to several different places and look at several different therapies used to either bring the body back into balance, or to strengthen the action of the chi itself.
