Chinese medicine is way better than western medicine....if it wasn't for chinese medicine I would seriously would be dead right now. I had a blocked intestine- and after 2 months of consistently getting worse and visiting doctors, I went to an accupuncturist, and within 2 weeks I was feeling better. The reason I said I almost died is because the guy from the bee gees had died from the same thing. So I'm living proof that chinese medicine works! And I congratulate you if you are considering/taking it

The media and a lot of the medical community does not agree with the use of Chinese and other natural medicines, because it takes money out of their pockets. I have successfully used a lot of natural herbs and herbal remedies for most of my adult life. I have borderline high blood pressure, and about two years ago, I began researching some natural medicines as I did not want to become dependent on multiple blood pressure medications and then have to take diuretics to balance out my system from the blood pressure meds. I watched my parents struggle with that mess of meds for years. I exercise a bit more, at least a half an hour per day, and cut out margarine; which clogs your whole system. I added in steamed rice and eat lots of fresh ginger, grated in the rice, or sliced and stirfryed in a bit of olive oil. I only occationally have the white foods, potatoes and white bread and chips, these do not help your health. I have not given up anything, if I want chips, or some other not so great food; I have a reasonable amount. My health is a lot better, I have lost and kept off weight, I have less problems with allergies and my blood pressure and stress has dropped remarkably. If you do some research on the Internet and in Health food stores, you can improve your health also, just find what works for you. I also read that book entitled; "Why Japanese Women Never Get (old and fat.)There are a lot of great and easy recipe suggestions in there. It is just the media and the big political and medical connection. Medicine is a wonderful thing, but sometimes we are safer to take some of our care into our own hands. Have a good night!

Its not bad for you, most the time it works better than western medicine.
media lies because it gets people's attention. they want to Tell you everything is different than we believe to catch our attention.
If you are taking Chinese medicine, good for you!
