That kind of diagnosis is generally done by feeling the subdosha pulses.

I'm not hearing anyone talk much about pulse diagnosis these days.
That was Dr. Triguna's thing.
I recall getting a pulse diagnosis from him in India. I thought he
called it pretty well.
He said my mind was a little jumpy, or something along those lines.
I would think pulse diagnosis could be tested scientifically.
Say someone had a liver problem. That should be evident in a pulse
diagnosis.

"For the record" a lot of alternative medicine *is* very science
based. Only the peanut gallery seems to think it isn't. There's a
lot of university research out there that hasn't yet been implemented
by the conservative mainstream "science based" medicine. But they're
beginning to catch on and learning that the centuries old concepts of
the metabolic causes of medicine that East Indians and Chinese use
have some validity. Just like one size shoe won't fit us all neither
does just one medical approach to a problem.

The term allopathic, which is often used in a derogatory sense,
was invented by Hahnemann, the creator of homoeopathy. So it is
basically a quacks take on regular medicine, although at the time
the term came into use, regular medicine was still pretty
primitive, and probably not very effective. Today the term
'evidence-based medicine' is used, or 'science-based medicine'.
Here is an interesting site that deals with various conflicts
found between alternative therapies (which I usually call the
alternative to medicine) and modern medical practice.

I've been staying out of the Alternative Therapies free-for-all
for a number of reasons. First, it's been done to death here
before, so the whole faux outrage thing has a decidedly been
there, done that, don't need to do it again vibe to it. Second,
possibly because I bailed from the TMO early, I never got
infected with that uber-hypochondria that so many long-term TMers
exhibit. I never got into fad diets or mega-supplements or any of
that stuff, and have managed to remain remarkably healthy
*anyway*, never having to "go there" and put any attention on my
health. I've been lucky enough to be healthy and stay
healthy...what was there to focus on or obsess on?
Third, I currently write articles for all sorts of people in the
health care industry. A few of them probably work for Big Pharma,
but most are just everyday practitioners of allopathic medicine
or chiropractic or some alternative practice or some mainstream
specialty like cardiovascular medicine. And to a person I don't
think any of them would disagree with the comments one of them
put on the T-shirt below (some MDs might get a bit of a hitch in
their panties over the mention of chiropractic, but that's about
it).
Most of them would LOVE it if their patients would just pay more
attention to their diets and to getting enough exercise. But they
don't. They want a "quick cure." And they want it whether it
comes from a Big Pharma pill or a homeopathic sugar pill or a
Chinese tonic or an Ayurvedic potion. Health care providers --
whoever they are -- get pushed into the savior role because
people go to them demanding the "quick cure" and shouting "Cure
me, cure me!" They're not willing to do the work every day that
keeps them healthy in the first place, so they expect someone
else to do it for them.
