The Yin and Yang of it all

Well.it's been a while since my last post. I need to collect my thoughts and express my views about the massage therapy learning experience. There is so much information thrown at the student that unless one knows how to separate the wheat from the chaff (and trust me,there's a LOT of chaff) It causes total confusion. Case in point; Traditional Chinese Medicine or TCM for short.This has to be the biggest hoax/scam to ever be foisted on a far too gullible profession. It is a confusion of terms,systems,conjectures and imaginings that parade as "medicine" or a" treatment" for all things and everything that ails us. But it's more than that. It is a world view,a way of looking at life and it's meaning from an Eastern point of view that is adverse to a Judeo/Christian outlook. As a Christian looks only to Jehovah as the source of life, The TCM practitioner would have a god-is-within-you and god is in all sense of mystery about everything that is based too much on feelings and navel gazing and not enough empiricism. And the amount of time in school devoted to this as well as the number of questions on the final certification exam shows the overdone emphasis on the subject.Now there may well be some validity to acupuncture/acupressure but it's all anecdotal, not verifiable, and to my knowledge not repeatable. Now I must give an example of what I'm talking about. From the literature;
"The Yang channels flow downward on the back of the legs and arms.The Yin channels flow up the front of the body and the inner surfaces of the body. The primary meridians(12 in all ) are dominated by the influence of either heaven or earth. So they produce a flow coming down from heaven(Yang) or flow upward from the earth(Yin). Ki or Chi is distributed throughout the whole body through the channels or meridians".
Without explaining in detail what all this might mean which even if I did you wouldn't be any closer to grasping it, the first questions that pop into the inquiring mind might be this; is there any proof at all that such a force as Yang/Yin exists? Any evidence that "Ki is distributed throughout the whole body"? Any proof that there is such a thing as "KI" exists or originates in your solar plexis(actually the kidneys) as is claimed? How about those ol meridians? Any proof for that? Did you guess the answer might be NO? How about the idea that there are five elements that, quote " govern the relationships between the changes of, interaction and transformation of the environment, nature and people and how it affects the emotional,physical body and energetic being-the life force."?????? This is gibberish. And the more you study it the more convaluted and down right annoying it becomes.Can someone explain to me how this is necessary for massaging a sore calf muscle?
