  4. China for the win. . !

  5. China for the win. .

  6. @ ClementsTom: In addition, how is it Justified That Prevent the pharmaceutical companies testing of natural substances Legitimate curing in dockage, Simply to Protect profits? Is The One example of cannabis use to cure Some forms of cancer (most notably skin cancer using hemp oil topically) and Relieve Symptoms of MS; Which is denied by pharmaceutical companies due to the inability to isolate single components and Which Have the obvious effect modified chemical insulation.

  7. @ ClementsTom: Double-blind tests all Have Recently Come Into Question Placebo in Many tests have never WAS Documented. In the U.S. for instance, There Is No Requirement to placebo document What is (The U.S. Consumer 80% of all pharmaceuticals, despite Being only 5% of the population). That it has-been found in a box Claimed Many inert placebo HAS Been Truly not inert (eg Giving Diabetics sugar pills). Those double-blind Claiming IS a way of proving efficacy in Their May Be Wrong Assumption

  8. In Every generation in my family (That we are Able to trace), at least There Was a tcm doctor, Who has done wonders for Their Patients-through medicine as well as Humanitarian work for the poor. Industrialized unlikable modern thinking; Many ppl in the world choose medicine to help others (like my grandfather) and not to make money. Would He Even give out free services and medications, and although our family Was Not rich, dirt poor We Were not Either! That IS what a Meaningful life is about!

  9. Any system of medicine icts Will Have Benefits and downfall, as well as supporters and Critics. Purpose, Just Because you do not understand it Does not mean icts wrong! It Always gets me when ppl SOME (despite of race) from the West think That Their system for Anything is superior to everyone else’s That They Are and know-it-alls.

  10. Before the advancement of modern Western medicine, WAS “traditional” Western medicine as witchcraft Not Seen? How old Is The scientific / evidence-based medicine system-been around for? Probably from around the 1600′s When Leeuwenhoek’s “amazing” discovery! And What Was Not Even the start of modern medicine mainsteam, just aim the starting point for lab work.

  11. Please, if you talk about So Much scientific-research, follow your-own advice and go do Your Own Research Before putting a 5,000 + year old medicine down system. And I Can Understand Why Some are Westerner’s Opposed to the use of TCM, They Do not Understand it really! And fear / ignorance causes thesis Kinds of senseless bashing.

  12. It really bugs me That ppl like to ridicule Any form of thinking (Meaning TCM) Just Because It Is different from the Belief Systems Have Been Exposed to THEY. Differences of opinions Means We Have to just listen. For All Those Who TCM ridiculous, I ask That You Try to understand it first. I can see from your comments, That You Have Been Exposed to Other only Westerner’s view of it, or That You Understand it only on the surface, and Have Been Exposed to a tiny and very biased opinion of it.

  13. @ Yoshii88 placebo effect

  14. Of course as we know only TCM WAS Heavily Pushed by Mao due to the lack of proper medicine Any. That is not it about time TCM gets Treated the Same testing as western medicine? We are talking about After All peoples lives here.

  15. @ Watch123456 Exactly. It’s time we put the myth That Paid To Chinese Medicine Is The acceptable face of alternative medicine. It’s a huge, money-making scam based on superstition as Opposed to Fact.

  16. Oh what bullshit. Chinese medicine is the greatest fraud. How Can it work from a Scientific point of view? The concept of Chinese medicine IS based on a lie in the universe That IS made of qi (chi).

  17. @ ClementsTom Why direct your anger at TCM Practitioners? western medicine doctors, Especially “Specialists” charge exorbitant fees too. (I’ve seen my share of So-Called Specialists) I am sorry That You find a load of BS TCM. But I Do not blame you, sincere TCM IS NOT Accepted as well and practiced Where You Live. You tend to find better TCM Practitioners in Chinese Communities, e. g. in Hong Kong

  18. @ SugarKatie So it’s Perfectly Justified thesis for Practitioners charge exorbitant fees to desperate people to? How Much money do I Have to Spend to find a “good” doctor? There’s Only So Much I Can Spend money Before I realized This is a load of bullshit Actually! Placebo effect only works with people with minor dockage, not with People Who are Actually quite ill.

  19. @ Every chinese balsa Actually not believe in TCM (I live in Hong Kong), But TCM IS Gaining more and more recognition. Some advocate Even Combining Western medicine and TCM to Treat Illness. It looks Promising. you’re right, I Tried oz TCM, I Could not pop a pill again Without trepidation. I do not want chemicals thesis and Their side effects to ruin my body

  20. @ ClementsTom you disapprove of TCM Because it does not work for you, fine. but you can not speak for Others and say it’s a scam. i see no harm in placebo effect if it Can help heal the patients. Everyone knows IS Psychological well being crucial in the recovery process. Also, TCM did not work for you Because You Probably a bad doctor consulted. It takes a lot of trial and error to find a doc Good, Both in Western medicine and TCM.

  21. @ ClementsTom Yes, I Would Actually. That Is Because only purpose of my direct personal experience and level of the Because of the proficiency of Practitioners in my area. I would first consult the Chinese medicine specialist to get idea of ??the year situation and decide if chemotherapy From There Could Be Avoided. If needed chemotherapy WAS then the TCM Would Be the primary method of repairing the long term damage to the Body That Would Result from using western therapies and medications.

  22. @ Balsa That’s just prejudice. Westerners are elderly and living along Healthier Than Ever due to science. I think Life Expectancy is Governed by lifestyle and diet Which is far less health-Giving in the West, NOT due to the Benefits of unfoundead year medical practice. Are you telling me That if You Had a cancer or malignant growth You’d go straight to a Chinese doctor INSTEAD of a Western one?

  23. @ SugarKatie I tried it for my ME (a real debilitating Illness Which Nothing Can cure) and it DID nothing to help me, except make me feel a little relaxed After EACH session. It’s a big money-making scam as far as I see it. Double-blind tests show it IS only really effective in Treating lower-back pain, using both “fake” acupuncture or placebo and “real” acupuncture.

  24. Interestingly Enough, Those Who Usually dimiss TCM ASBS are the ones Who Have Actually never tried it. THEY feel superior efficacy for bashing TCM Whose Can not Always Be Proven by scientific methods. My personal experience with TCM has-been Largely positive. It not only controlled my overactive thyroid, purpose made me look better with Healthier complexion. That aside, the placebo effect of therapy Can Be Such hugely beneficial as well, as evidence shows. So do not knock it Until You try it.

  25. Just look at the end effect. Needing to find Forget That explanation fits year Within Our current limited understanding of science. Look at pill-poping westerners. When They Are They are healthy old? No, They are like the walking dead. Now look at old Chinese people, They look healthy do not they? No walkers, prescriptions or medical supplies needed Costly! And What is with this Need to find a scientific explanation? Can I show you some “science” from 50 years ago today That Is not true lol. . .
