Chinese Medicine Vs Western Medicine

in #esteem6 years ago

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.

image

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.

image

Anyway it's a good book and I recommend it.

image

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.

image

Interestingly enough, most nurses I've met here in the usa do not use western medicine but use alternative therapies instead.

image

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.

image

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.

image

I actually think it's kinda fun.

image

Some mixtures taste better than others... Or worse depending on your point of view.

image

@yenmoon pretty much doesn't wanna drink any herbal mixture because she doesn't like the taste but I think it is fun and kinda cool so I don't even mind the exceptionally strong tasting ones.

image

Acupuncture is what @yenmoon likes when she goes to a Chinese Doctor. I very much like acupuncture too so we both get treated when we go.

Well I guess that's all for now. I hope you've enjoyed this posting and have found it interesting.

I had a surreal experience this weekend. My sweet Wife had a fever high enough I had to take her to the doctor. The doctor saw her, and sent her to the ER. The ER saw her, and sent her to the floor.

Now for the amazing part, I treat her MS herbally, and they told me she would pass away in 2007. Her doctor is really paying attention to the herbals now! I fully intended to continue proper treatment in spite of where she was, and expected a real fight! BUT,Her Doctor had written an order that I was giving her herbals under HIS direction, and they were to offer me all assistance! The Hospital Pharmacist showed up, with a lot of RESPECTFUL Questions; which I was happy to answer. I was again surprised to note, that he was actually LISTENING! I wonder what that doctor actually wrote?

The second fun thing was that before I knew how high her fever was, I gave her Colloidal Silver. Right after she got to the floor, the silver worked, and the infection died, and her fever broke! Now, HOW do you explain to Hospital staff, that their antibiotics (already hung on the IVAC) are at best second string medicine? THAT they never understood, except for possibly one RN, who asked a lot of good questions! :(

After her fever broke, they had no reason to keep her, so she is home now! A VERY unusual trip to the Hospital for sure, and the first time I have ever given Herbals in a hospital, with written permission! :)

I am not nearly as good as your talented Chinese Doctor, but I will keep studying....

This is a very beautiful story!

Yes there are and will be western medicine professionals who are capable of breaking through their miseducation & will actually fight against the "bad medicine" that they are taught.

Thank you for sharing your experience and also for being prepared to stand your ground.

I'm very happy that your story had a happy ending. 😊

She is the air I breathe, and it is wonderful to have her home again! Our little girl Dachshund slept as close to her as she could get for the first day home!

A few will learn! I used to design medical monitors, and I have changed my opinions on a lot of things myself.

I'm with you, my friend!
both about your opinion about medicine and Pharma, and about your love to herbal mixtures and such a specific kind of treatment.
You're wise and clever, I always knew it, it's written in your face;)

for what is this tea?
I respect Eastern medicine more than ours as well

Thank you very much my friend.

I appreciate your comments and compliments and because you yourself are very wise and clever your observations are very important and valuable.

You ask what this tea is for?

After the doctor asked me some questions and did pulse reading he created this tea to help restore much needed balance/harmony to my system.

I could tell you more but I would rather focus my attention on harmony and good health because it is better to talk about and reinforce the positive. 😊😊😊

Thank you so much for your comment and support.

You are the best part of my Steemit experience. 😊

aah, ok;))

I've heard once about pulse diagnostic and medicine...it's very sgtrange for our perception (western one), but I do believe it works because Eastern medicine is really much wiser!

our doctors can make dozens of analysis and investigations and finally make a wrong diagnosis! fully shit..

We agree! 😊😊😊

I just realized that you ReSteemed my post!
