Abstract

Whether or not the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and acupuncture are science remains controversial. It seems that both should not be judged with the criteria based on the deductive reasoning because it goes beyond doubt that the different logical reasoning models between the East and the West need more conversation. Issues affecting the efficacy of TCM and acupuncture like Collection, Processing, Acupuncture as part of the health system, Designing Pattern-based research, Locating acupoints accurately, and Proper prescriptions are presented for discussion for the modernization and the scientization of TCM and acupuncture.
