After three months, it seemed to make little or no difference, despite the fact that the treatment called for taking 18 pills a day in three groups of six. What specific type of treatment are you using? thanks, -jim ---- 2112 F/X :: Reloaded :: www.2112fx.com There is no spoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2002 Report Share Posted July 28, 2002 Chinese medicine is based on the theory of the elements and treatments are based on balancing those elements, through lifestyle, diet, herbs, and bodywork, such as acupressure, acupuncture and massage. The five elements are fire, earth, air, water, and metal. There are a variety of treatments and they are not all " medicines " as we define medicine in the west. You have to put on a completely different hat to understand and study Chinese medicine. Balancing Yin and Yang is key to this system, Chinese medicine considers the whole body and the whole person and does not fragment treatment as western medicine often does. Personally I appreciate both. Regards, Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2002 Report Share Posted July 29, 2002 If " Chinese medicine " does the trick for someone, that's fine. But I'm certainly not going to knock modern medicine and paint this ancient discipline as universally superior. After all, if Chinese medicine is so much better, why don't Chinese live longer, healthier lives? In China, the infant mortality rate is 28.08 per 1,000 live births and the life expectancy is 71.62 years overall -- 69.81 for men, and 73.59 for women. In the United States, the infant mortality rate is 6.76 per 1,000 live births and the life expectancy is 77.26 overall -- 74.37 for men, and 80.05 for women.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2002 Report Share Posted July 29, 2002 >>>Chinese medicine is so much better, why don't Chinese live longer, healthier lives?<<< Because most people in China can't afford it. those herbs can get pretty expensive. it's usually considered a luxury. > If " Chinese medicine " does the trick for someone, that's fine.
