LOL. That’s just awesome, on so many levels.

I’m not completely against TCM - if something works then it works - but 95% of it appears to have been experimentally tested and confirmed as complete bollocks.

As regards kidney failure, there’s also the Taiwanese habit of swallowing medicine - traditional or otherwise - as a matter of routine. The theory seems to be that if medicine works when you’re ill, it must work even better when you’re not ill. Older people especially seem to have a vast collection of pills and potions that they pop once-a-day to ward off the grim reaper (possibly with the exact opposite effect).

In the old country, we also have a long tradition of herbal medicine and interstingly enough, there are several Western -Europe and US- universities institutes doing research on the actual medical properties they may have.

That´s how they “discovered” coke and MJ and other stuff.
