While in China Town, San Francisco, California recently we visited a Chinese Doctor Herbalist and he put together a preparation for me.
I like and respect Chinese Medicine very much whereas I stay as far away from western medicine and their pharmaceuticals as possible.
In the book "Whole: Rethinking the Science of Nutrition" the author declares that (and I'm forgetting the quote exactly but it's something like) pharmaceuticals are the 3rd leading cause of death in the usa. And we're talking about properly prescribed pharmaceuticals.
Anyway it's a good book and I recommend it.
Of course this insanely high death rate due to the pharmaceutical industry is not really in the media or in the public awareness. This is exactly the kind of thing that they do not want you to know.
Interestingly enough, most nurses I've met here in the usa do not use western medicine but use alternative therapies instead.
I think that should tell us something...
Of course I've also met a few who think the doctor is some kind of god and will follow his suggestions blindly but uhmmm whatever.
Nurses just tend to be smarter about this because they've seen a lot of the western medicine tragedies up close and personal. So in my experience the smart ones look for alternative methods for themselves and family.
Which is of course what I do.
Here's one of the packets that he prepared.
I'm back home now and preparing to make the herbal mixture in my favorite "herbal mixture" teapot.
I actually think it's kinda fun.
Some mixtures taste better than others... Or worse depending on your point of view.
Acupuncture is what
