Chiness mdicine?

Posted by Sebastian on January 16, 2005, at 15:53:02

Any one had success getting off meds, by use of chiness medicine? Freind of my suggestes it, he is studying to be a doctor of chiness medicine and says it can get me off all the meds and be well. That sounds tempting, as much as I would like to get off the meds and live a happy life again.

I don't know of anyone but a friend of mine is really into it and she keeps trying to talk me into it too. It's hard to believe but I'm recently opening up to a lot of things I didn't believe in before. I'd be very interested in talking to people who have had success as well.

Actually there was one poster who recently said that he had more success with a particular acupressure therapy for his anxiety then he ever did with medication. I was just looking for his post again when I saw your message.

Just a word of advice. The one thing you have to cognizant of with Chinese herbs and herbal meds is contamination. A lot of the products and fresh herbs in Chinese stores come from China itself, and an astonishing amount of the soil in China is heavily contaminated. And I mean HEAVILY contaminated. You have to be really careful to make sure what you're getting is clear of lead, arsenic and numerous other toxic compounds. If the product you buy is from the U.S., it probably isn't overly contaminated (though even then you should check the source), but if it's from China, be doubly, triply careful.
