PRYUEN,Please,someone said yao will recovery within a month if using chinese medcine

Wouldn't HGH and Steroids be legal for Yao now? I think as long as itis prescribed by a Doctor it should be ok.

 

I am sure Yao knows about chinese medicine, and if he thinks it is successful, he would have tried it last year and the year before. I think this type of information did not surface last year because there was no panic in China, but now due to the Olympics, people are suggesting anything to get this guy back on the court.

 

How about the fact that more people that live with/in Western societies are fatter, more disease ridden than ever before in the history of mankind? How about the fact that today, "diseases" that have never existed EVER in the history of mankind are popping up all over the place, only to be suppressed with pills that don't provide a cure, only suppressed symptoms that don't treat the cause of the disease? How about the fact that heart disease was basically unheard of 100 years ago? How about the fact that you can prevent/cure basically ALL of your "diseases" (unless it's beyond the point of no return) just by drinking half your body weight in ounces of water daily (check out "Your Body's Many Cries For Water: You Are Not Sick, You Are Thirsty)?

How about you provide some evidence that Western medicine is more effective than any other society that doesn't practice it? Look around man, do some research. It's amazing what is being suppressed in this country and what is being pushed on us because it's all we know in America. People living in America and Western countries are more unhealthy than anbody ever has been....ever.

I'm not making a case for TCM. I'm making a case against Western medicine. I'm not a doctor by any means, but the reason why I started this rant in the first place is that I guarantee you somewhere (not here), somebody could help Yao cure his problem without surgery, and do it more effectively than a traditional Western approach.

 

LScolaDominates, the difference between chinese herbal medicine and western medicine is methodology not efficacy. western medicine emphasizes clinical research and controlled trials while chinese medicine focuses on pathology and empirical results. I dont know if you realize this but modern scientific pharmacology is entirely trial and error. That's why a single marketable drug costs billions to develop, companies are simply cranking out tens of thousands of trials on random combinations to try to hit a jackpot

a lot of people think the difference is that western medicine is developed through some theoretical, scientific way and chinese medicine is mysticism but the differences between the 2 are not as great as you may think. in fact there's great effort being put out by companies to figure out why chinese medicine does work, to isolate the active ingredients and to develop drugs based on them. there's already innumerable western drugs based on chinese plants, trees, roots and herbs. if that sounds nuts remember that the most prescribed western drug aspirin is itself based on a type of tree bark

can this chinese dude cure yao's foot in one month? probably not. but only very close minded and ignorant people close the door entirely. most doctors in the US today have an understanding that there's things they can learn from chinese medicine and alternative medicine. go ahead and ask your doctor next time you get a checkup whether acupuncture and chinese medicine "works" unless he's 80 or ignorant he'll say a lot of it does.

 

Can someone just answer this question:

Is this a legit claim or not because if it is, someone needs to tell Yao and the Rockets.

 

AHAHAHAHAH!!!!! The rest of your rant was comical, but this knocked me over in my seat!

All kidding aside, PLEASE DON'T NEGLECT SERIOUS MEDICAL ISSUES! WATER WILL NOT CURE CANCER!

 

This is the dumbest thread ever.

 

THis thread could be bull****. I am chinese and I know from my mother that herb medicine practice is mainly used to cure internal sickness. With fractured bones, it is best left to use Western medicine to heal it.

 

well if it's true.. I am sure the Chinese would try it on him if he weren't ready for the Olympics.

right?

I call shens

 

Well to give it some more thought, I think Chinese medicine or Massage therapy can accelerate Yao's injury. Let's remember this was not a sudden injury like the time he got inhured by Tim THomas.

I have had broken bones in my knee and in my hand recently. I went to a chinese herbalist doctor and she would prescribe me herbs to make into a soup that tasted real foul. She also gave me some special herb ointment that smelled kinda funky to wrap on the injured area. I mean within days my hand and knee were like brand new. So I am pretty sure Chinese Herb medicine can help Yao to recover faster or maybe even possible be ready for the playoffs.

I am pretty sure the Chinese Govt has lined up their top Doctors to help Yao recover from his injury. He just needs to fly back to china asap and get evaluated by their doctors.

If all fails give Yao some HGH or steroids when he is in CHina. All papertrails will be destroyed leaving no evidence.

 

Here's a side not if u guys are suffering from acne. My father told me that brewing a special soup which consisted of a polar bear's kidney would cure your acne. It is illegal to sell this but if u can find a chinatown herb store and ask them for polar bear's kidney, they will most likely sell them to you.
Just bring a along a sharp chinese interprerator to find out how to prepare such a concoction.

 

Weirdest. Post. Ever.

By the way, when did the GARM become a place to discuss bizarre and unrealistic Chinese medicine?

 

Polar bear's kidney? wow. just wow. yao should seriously consider some chinese medicine. it's herbs, it shouldn't be of any risk.

 

I'm sorry but this strikes me as a very misinformed and frankly dangerous post.

Do you understand why cardiovascular disease and cancers are more prevalent now than they were a 100 years ago?

Its because life expectancy and nutrition is so much greater now than it was before. A 100 years ago most people didn't live long enough to suffer heart disease or cancer. For that matter a 100 years ago when few people had access to high calorie food there was little chance of heart disease but on the flip side famine was a real concern. If you're likely to die from small pox, polio, infection, blood loss during childbirth or plain starvation you're not going to be around long enough to get cancer or worry about hardening arteries because without access to anti-biotics, vaccines, blood tranfusion or even good food you're going to die from a lot of other things a lot faster.

This doesn't just sound like quakery this is plain dangerous. Why many people don't hydrate enough there is a danger to over hydration. We may be roughly 75% water but that needs to be kept in balance. Suddenly adding too much water can be just as damaging to your system as losing too much.

Uh have you checked out life expectancy for societies that practice Western Medicine vs societies that don't? While I don't discount traditional healing practices I will take my chances down at the city hospital vs Papua New Guinean tribal healers.

Somehow I'm not surprised that you're not a doctor.

 

Not exactly. Just because something is herbal based or natural doesn't mean that it isn't dangerous. Various herbs while having medicinal effects if used wrong could be dangerous. Consider the digitalis, also known as foxwort, which is used to regulate heart arythmia but if overdosed could be lethal.

Also since most of the evidence so far in this thread for the safety and efficacy of traditional medicine has been anecdotal I will throw in my own anecdote. My grandma would use Chinese medicine every now and then for a variety of ailments and it turns out that one of the medicines she used active ingredient turned out to be opium. It was pretty much no better and likely worse than the snake oil that used to be peddled in old time medicine shows. So while I believe there is a lot of good to be learned from traditional Chinese medicine that doesn't automatically mean that it is better or safer than western medicine and given the lack of regulation and quality control in many cases it might be more dangerous.

 

Even if you're really a chinese it doesn't mean that you know everything about the chinese traditional medicine. I've seen it first hand (western doc screw up, old chinese bone doctor snap/break the bones, alligned it, put herbal paste, wrap it up with 3 sticks and 4 weeks after, my bro can walk like normal) and I believe the alternative medicine has it's place. I'm sure with thousand years of experiences, they know a thing or two about human body.

 

Yao, u should make a try. and i pray for a miracle!

 

He didn't do a Medical tests on Yao,just got some msg from TV,paper and internet,no more information from status of Yao,it was a joking!
Just a man who wanna to be a famous on the internet,no address,no telephone,nothing!

There is no miracle on chinese medcine,Perhaps treatment of specific disease it was very magical, but not so exaggerated!

Sorry,my english is poor,I hope that I have described it clearly about the chinese medicine.

 

absurb!!!!
Even in china,nobody will turn for Chinese tradition medcine when gets a facture of the bone.

 

The real question is if it's only $4.99 + tax and does not contain MSG. Then I'd say, why not. DO IT!
