this is a story from along time ago but it is as true today as it was then it happened in a little village at the foot of wudang mountain as you know wudang mountain is in china in what is called hubei province life in the village moved along as can be expected joy and sadness mixed in appropriate measure .one very important personage of the village was the doctor .. he was loved and revered by everyone all would help him tend his rice fields he was given the plumbest chickens for feast and the sweetest fruit of the harvest even the richest man of the village would bow his head low when they met on the path ...one day all this changed .
the doctor was hurt and shocked no more kind words for him no show of respect no gifts for his enjoyment and well being instead cold stares and angry words behind his back in anguish the doctor finally cried out what have i done to deserve this ... dont u know the villagers answered last week mr wu took to his bed with a fever his throat is parched his head is hurting you failed us..i marvel at this long ago story how well these ancient folks understood that even though it is a great art to cure sickness it is even a greater art to keep the body healthy and glowing this story of thr doctor of wudang moutain should not come a suprise to us living in the west after all it was thomas edison who stated the doctor of the future will give no medications but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame ,dietand in the cause and prevention of disease
