The best anti-aging …
The best anti-aging product I’ve ever seen is actually Alex Chiu’s Magnetic
Discovery. The other people are just nonsense.
The rats are …
The rats are jumping ship.
CHEMRISK – a research company hired by the Corn Refiners ociation has recently taken down it’s YouTube channel.
The removal was in response to negative public perception resulting from the discovery of dangerous levels of MERCURY in HIGH-FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP. Apparently it has become a liability to defend the sweetener.
See one of the last remaining ChemRisk videos at CornRefinersAssoc on YouTube.
I find it highly …
I find it highly depicable to stick to esoteric non-sense and to exploit naive people who possibly seek real help.
Alternative medicine is based on nothing.
There are no meridians.
Stop the madness.
you’re right, I’m 5 …
you’re right, I’m 5 years old and can’t differentiate between medicine and culture
durrrrrr…
It’s magnificently …
It’s magnificently clear that you are clueless about acupuncture so one can only conclude that your rantings are a feeble racist attempt to minimize another culture’s achievements to make you feel better about your own.
being treated by an …
being treated by an experienced acupuncturist is indistinguishable from a NHS nurse randomly poking you with needles as far as health effects go, hth
Bravo! Bravo! …
Bravo! Bravo! Beverly Burns. You have done the world a service of highest order. Words do not describe my delight with your highly intelligent, clear and accessible presentation. Thank you x 10.
Junosdaughter. Your …
Junosdaughter. Your response to archipankrator is correct but you diction is far too complicated for the idiot you’re talking to.If you want to get your point across, speak to him as you would to a child.
archipanktator. …
archipanktator. It’s the west that coined the phrase,”alternative medicine”. because4 they didn’t understand it. Fact is,Chinese medicine is about 3000 years old and and the western world now recognizes that it is far more advanced then their arrogance lead them to believe. What were your ancestors doing 3000 years ago?Did you ever see the movie,”Braveheart”?They lived like cavemen didn’t they?That was only 700 years ago. So hole.Read a book before you speak.
Ummm….it’s only …
Ummm….it’s only called ‘alternative’ from the perspective from countries dominated by Western Medicine…’alternative’ doesn’t describe TCMs potential for accurate diagnosis and treatment, nor does it ess TCMs scientific merits. It merely positions TCM (among other medical traditions) SOCIALLY – TCM is an alternative to the dominant medical system.
As a Naturopathy student I find TCM valuable as a diagnostic tool which indicates areas in the body requiring treatment.
it helps foreign …
it helps foreign people learn and understand more about traditional chinese medicine and underlying theories.
Very interesting.
Very interesting.
The reason it’s …
The reason it’s called “alternative medicine” is that if it worked, it’d just be called medicine.
OWEND MUCH?
“When the fool …
“When the fool hears the Tao he laughs.
If he didn’t laugh it wouldn’t be the Tao.”
-Lao Tzu
I thought this was …
Thumbs up to “Quackery”!!
I thought this was the best video to explain the basics for TCM! I enjoyed it… I am a first year student of TCM, and have just learned this info in the class room setting. I’m really disturbed to see the number of people posting such negative comments surrounding this subject. This is a practice that is supposed to bring harmony and peace to the individual. I hope one day those negative bloggers will be able to experience “enlightenment”
Well, it’s like in …
Well, it’s like in science there’re lots of theories that can’t be explained. Same with Chinese medicine, it only works, but cannot be explained using our current amount of knowledge of science.
Normally I treat Chinese medicines as models. Like in science there are lots of models to explain some phenomenons.

Hello Taijicheng
…
o Taijicheng
Are the Yin and Yang the north and south of two magnetic fields ?.
Im just reading a book by Michio Kushi called “Your face never lies” written in the seventies. I find this to be a truely interesting field. In the book Michio Kushi tends to use general terms though there is much to be found online, I am only beggining to understand what invaluable practice Oriental Diagnosis is.
And much, much more …
And much, much more. The evidence is there. The proof is there. The scientific and medical establishments just ignore it and say it’s not there. Don’t take their word for it. Do some reading yourself into what kind of research has been done, and what results have come up.
The problem, …
The problem, tlcambell, all stems from the fact that, despite scientific evidence of the existence of qi and the bio-energetic field, the scientific and medical establishment mostly refuses to even consider it. Take a look at the work of Dr. Robert O. Becker for one thing, and then take a look at the experiments done with Qigong masters Lin Housheng, Zhao Wei, Huang Xiaquan and Yan Xin in the late 70s and early 80s in China; also the reseach by Prof. Feng Lida.

ignorance at its best!!
Traditional Chinese …
Traditional Chinese medicine is proven, but there are still questions about exactly HOW it works. This video does nothing to solve that mystery. It doesn’t explain, for instance, how the parts of the tongue are connected to other parts of the body. Until we see a more satisfactory explanation, it will remain an open question whether or not the positive effects of Chinese medicine are those of a powerful placebo backed by 1000+ years of history.
you sound really …
you sound really studip airrick. put tiger penis in you …
look at that …
look at that airick16 lol i hope u and ur whole family die very soon and donnt see a chinesee doctor ok and b 4 u all die let me tell u what ur life is full or jealous and sad haha i hope u all keep going sad and die
One more thing. If …
One more thing. If this is quakery then how come almost half of the U.S. and more everyday turn to atleast one form of alternative medicine. Im sure that many people wouldn’t spend there hard earned money for something that doesn’t work. Also, why would insurance companies be covering these treatments if they were not proven? Some states such as california actually require them to cover it by law. Like I said before, educate yourselves.
