00:45.0
So ito yung mga branches of medicine doon sa India.
00:49.0
So yung yoga is parang may mga postural stances siya,
00:55.0
may mga breathing, pranayama, yung postural stances is asana,
01:00.0
parang kinu-coordinate niya yung wellness of body, mind and spirit
01:06.0
and usually meron siyang meditation nakasama.
01:10.0
This came from many, many years of practice na sa India.
01:18.0
So hindi lang siya physical, so sa kanila it's spiritual and also mental.
01:24.0
Yung Tai Chi naman ay Chinese, so it's based on a Taoist philosophy
01:29.0
at yung Tai Chi naman they're using parang martial arts, martial arts techniques
01:36.0
in order to regulate the flow of movement of the body.
01:40.0
Meron din siyang breathing.
01:42.0
So nakikita natin sa luneta yung mga matatandang Chinese every morning.
01:48.0
So ito yung pinapractice nila Tai Chi.
01:51.0
So not only can you for physical wellness ito, for ano rin ito,
01:56.0
for self-defense yung Tai Chi.
02:00.0
Ano pa maganda pala ito Secretary Ted kasi pwedeng health and defense.
02:09.0
Tsaka very good, yung Tai Chi is very good for senior citizens.
02:16.0
Actually slows down aging, may mga scientific studies na.
02:19.0
Exercises wherein you move beyond the center line ng body,
02:23.0
nagkakaroon ng, hihinto yung demensya o yung pag-deteriorate ng brain.
02:29.0
So movements like Tai Chi, bicycle are now considered talagang anti-aging sa brain.
02:36.0
So maganda yan, slow movements lang pero they cross the midline.
02:41.0
It keeps the brain very active.
02:44.0
Yan, dami natin napagusapan ngayon ha.
02:48.0
Ayan, so dito Secretary Ted tsaka Dr. Guzman.
02:55.0
Paano ba, ano ba yung limitations ng complementary medicine tsaka traditional medicine?
03:04.0
So lately nakikipag-usap na rin kami sa Philippine Board of Medicine.
03:09.0
Kasi lalo na sa ating mga naturopathic practitioners,
03:13.0
mahilig silang magtawag ng sarili na ng doktor.
03:16.0
So parang violation yun of the medical act.
03:19.0
Kasi yung ating mga, ako I'm also a western trained doctor.
03:23.0
We went through four years of pre-medicine and then may four years pa tayo of proper.
03:29.0
And then may one year kami of internship.
03:32.0
Then we also got the board and for those of us who went into,
03:36.0
ako three years family medicine and then two years infectious diseases.
03:40.0
Yung total number of years na nag-aaral kami is 15 years just to be where we are.
03:46.0
Plus may mga masters pa kami na dinadagdag.
03:49.0
So itong mga naturopathic natin, what we require actually from PTAC is around two years of training,
03:56.0
200 hours of training at may mga number of patients sila na dapat isubmit.
04:02.0
Pero minsan tinatawag nila yung sarili na doctor of alternative medicine or naturopathy.
04:08.0
So meron nang nakikita yung Philippine Board of Medicine na tinatawag nila yung sarili ng doctor.
04:14.0
So we have already met also with the naturopathic practitioners
04:18.0
and we have told them that you cannot use the doctor kasi violation yun ng medical act.
04:23.0
At meron din mga kasama doon ng mga penalties kung gagawin natin yun.
04:28.0
So sinasabihan namin sila na you're supposed to call yourself certified naturopathic practitioners.
04:35.0
But there are naturopathic practitioners who are also medical doctors.
04:40.0
So sila itatawagin na certified naturopathic medical practitioners.
04:46.0
So tinuturoan namin sila na ganoon.
04:49.0
And isa din doon sa medical act is hindi sila pwedeng magwear ng white gown.
04:54.0
So sinasabihan namin na they should wear olive green gown.
05:01.0
Yung olive green gown na yun ang magiging characteristic nila.
05:08.0
Distinguish sila doon.
05:10.0
And then if they have any concerns, they should refer to a medical practitioner.
05:16.0
Kasi yung naturopathic issues of parang natural supplements, the air, the sunshine, everything natural, in fact food.
05:25.0
Ang ano nila is let food be your medicine and medicine be your food.
05:30.0
So natural, sabi natin hindi nila pwedeng tawagin yung sarili nila na doctor kasi violation nga yun.
05:39.0
So yun yung mga limitations natin.
05:41.0
We always tell them na if possible, kung hindi siya traditional, maging complementary yung practice nila.
05:48.0
So in line with, they refer to the proper medical practitioners kung may mga problema.
05:55.0
So ayun Secretary Ted, Doc D. Guzman.
05:58.0
Akong maganda yung naging talakayan natin ngayong araw na ito.
06:02.0
But pupunta na tayo sa ating segment, Secretary Ted, na myth or fact.
06:08.0
So una dito, acupuncture is not science-based.
06:13.0
Secretary Ted, Doc D. Guzman, ano ba ang sagot nito? Myth or fact?
06:18.0
Hindi namin ituturo yung acupuncture sa DOH Retained Hospitals natin kung hindi ito science-based.
06:30.0
Actually, there are nerve paths along our body.
06:33.0
At dito lang naman nilalagay yung mga acupuncture needles doon sa mga nerve paths natin.
06:39.0
It's anatomic naman.
06:42.0
So ito ay talagang accepted na by our DOH hospitals.
06:47.0
At ito nga yung pinapractice nila sa Traditional Alternative Healthcare Centers.
06:52.0
So this is science-based.
06:54.0
We are also basing our training on textbooks, science-based textbooks.
07:00.0
Ang nagtuturo nito sa atin ay doctors of medicine.
07:04.0
Si Dr. Francis Vicente Ras, si Dr. Al Agaya.
07:09.0
So mga doctors of medicine.
07:10.0
Sila Dr. Philip Tan Gatwe.
07:12.0
And we also teach them.
07:14.0
Kasama doon sa training, we provide them anatomical descriptions of kung saan yung mga nerve points
07:23.0
at yung mga maafektohan nila ng nerve paths along the body.
07:27.0
So it is scientific.
07:34.0
Science-based ang acupuncture.
07:37.0
Not science-based. Iba lang yung science.
07:40.0
Yung modern medicines kasi ito yung tinatawag na phase trial of medicines, ibang type of experimentation.
07:47.0
Itong acupuncture, thousands of years of experience and observation.
07:52.0
Science-based din yan kasi observation is part of scientific research.
07:57.0
So yan, that's how it was developed.
07:59.0
So science-based, iba lang ang methodology.
08:06.0
So given clinical practice guidelines for the use of acupuncture in lower back pain,
08:12.0
headache, and also hypertension.
08:14.0
Ito ay sinabdip na natin sa HTAC natin para hopefully ma-accredit siya with our PhilHealth
08:24.0
so that in the future, yung ating mga medical acupuncturist,
08:28.0
meron mga subsidized din yung kanilang practice using acupuncture in lower back pain,
08:34.0
headache, and also for hypertension.
08:37.0
Ayun. So dito may next question pa, Secretary Ted.
08:43.0
Acupressure has proven to be effective in treating depression, anxiety, stress, and gynecological conditions.
08:59.0
Yes, sir. So yung acupressure, siguro tayong lahat ay naka-experience na din
09:07.0
nung may nama sa masahe using yung mga finger points, yung mga thumb points,
09:12.0
at meron tayong relief. So nakakatulong naman siya talaga.
09:17.0
In fact, ngayon sa mga SPAS natin, medical spa and wellness centers,
09:22.0
isa sa mga hinihingi nila yung acupressure o yung reflexology is also a form of acupressure.
09:29.0
Na yung mga pressure points ginagawa, ayan, yung acupressure reflexology chart.
09:35.0
At sabi nga nila, kahit sa mga pressure points lang, nare-relieve na rin.
09:41.0
Kung minsan kahit sa paalang or kahit sa kamay lang, hindi na kailangan masahiin yung buong body
09:47.0
dahil meron namang nerve points doon relating to the stomach, relating to the head, relating to the back.
09:56.0
At ito din ay nakaka-relieve. So parang complementary medicine din siya.
10:03.0
Annabel tama yan. Yung science behind it ay meron tinatawag na endorphins sa body substances that are released dahil sa pressure points.
10:15.0
And the endorphins are like internal drugs na nakakatulong sa mga anxiety, stress and everything."
