When to see a Doctor

If you have definite physical problems you should follow your

doctor’s advice as well. You are not to think of this method as some

sort of magical cure-all, and should seek to obtain whatever you need to improve your health, with whatever resources may be available.

Problems most often arise in practice with those who are ill

or in a weakened physical condition. If they want to progress rapidly,

they would be well-advised to use a physician. A number of

practitioners have had misgivings for thinking that they could depend

solely upon their esoteric practice and never see a doctor

again and have ended up with sad stories to tell. To help solve your

health problems you should use what modern medicine offers and

the Taoist practices you have learned, as well as anything else that

you might have found to be effective, being careful to be open to

the best choice for you.
