Tcm is my main source of med. Health tip top, maybe better than you and those on forever pills. Kidney good too.
Tcm knowledge is dated centuries ago. Ingredient is healthy as well. Follow the instructions, and if you don't follow right dosage, thats your problem. The same we don't mock western science when people OD themselves. Don't even say if it's come dodgy source. Who in their right mind source from dodge source.
You call western science 200 years of knowledge. Forgetting tcm over centuries.. you think it only exists yesterday? You think anyone can be tcm doctor? They also go years of training.
Eastern med also to balance the overall body. Western med to cover the symptoms. Two different approach to body. Tell me tell me. What have modern pills solved today? They only hide symptoms while create side effects that are bad long term. That's why our pharma stock is Uuu and capitalist can't wait for the next slimming, cholesterol, BP, diabetes pill. Why? Because it solves the underlying issue? Should I even start with the science of food today with all the shitty ingredients we have in our food? That's science tek too.
That's my take on tcm. Agree to disagree.
I'm not going to dispute the knowledge from long ago, I am only going to dispute the credibility and efficacy of all those ingredients because to be honest, TCM is trial and error. They can go for training, have a good source of ingredients, but god forbid your body is unique and has different interactions compared to everyone else because of some underlying condition no one knows.
That's why most people who go for TCM will also go to gov/private hospital. Otherwise hospitals here already kaput while the sinseh make $$$. It's supposed to be complementary, and it if works for you, all the better.
Science is constantly evolving and medicine is consistently progressing, but it's not immediate. Anything consumed by the body will take time to break down and work, poisons just act faster.
