I'm NOT going to start a health Q & A section for the simple reason that I'll be driven round the bend by freakin proponents of Chinese voodoo cures otherwise known as TCM.... bullshit talk about heaty and cooling crap and moronic grandmother stories about how to cure various ailments... all with no scientific foundation, zero evidence that the mumbo jumbo works, no double blind testing and no peer reviews.

It boggles the mind that in the 21st century where the understanding of how the world and the human body works has improved by leaps and bounds and where we have mapped the whole human genome, the absolute bullshit that is TCM can still flourish. It simply proves how dumb the majority of the human race is.

In medicinal chemistry, TCM is one area that we often looked into to find active leads compounds for potent drugs. But i do agree that many of the TCM concepts are way outdated.

There could well be a scientific basis for some TCM claims. If there is evidence that a particular compound works in curing certain ailments, by all means prove it scientifically via a double blind test regimen and it can then be incorporated into mainstream medicine.

long before scientists could establish any foundations your great great grand fathers were under voodoo gig mumbo jumbo for all their ailments

 

[looneytan]

Anyone has gone for a checkup on their prostate?

How do you check the prostate? What kid of tests are there?

my doc poked his finger in my arsehole twist here twist there then declared my prostate slightly enlarged

 

[vamjok]

actually...i will not really say the chinese are non-scientific. its just another way of classification of science which was known to their world then, but of course its to me seriously outdated. For example the burning sensation of acid reflux near our UTR, to them that is heat.

You might be surprised that there are many TCM doctor publishing their finding in western scientific journals. Example finding out the active ingredients etc, performing biological assays or in silico calculations using computers. just few weeks back, the group i was in was reviewing a scientific paper submitted by a TCM group in beijing.

things have changed uncle sam, they too are moving ahead and getting more "scientific".

So did the doctor gave you any advice apart from saying it is slightly enlarged?

TCM is flourishing even in new shopping malls in the US and in the west. The patients you see are whites. Not because it works but popular with those with chronic issues and looking for hope. It is now part of alternative medicine like ayurvedic, supplements, osteopathy, naturopathy etc.

Something that I thought was genuine for years - acupuncture is now turned out to be something else.

The power of placebo !

I'm glad you asked. If you've winds, bloatiness and flatulence at all times of the day, you could be having a gastric reflux.
For example, if you've heartburn or pain that moves around your body and after some days, subside, but you know it's still
there in your body, then you could be having GERD. Now, GERD is dangerous and may lead to cancer of the osophegus and
must be treated with specialized gastric reflux medication. See a doctor.

Using charcoal is treating the symptoms and not the source. If charcoal can cure you, then Actal or any similar products from
Guardian can do so too. Guardian also sell charcoal, but in the remote chance, you could be suffering from gastritis, which culminates
in reflux symptoms, it is time to see a doctor and tell him to treat you for GERD. Google GERD for more info.

He said "Irreversable lah ha, buddy, but I can give you medicine to slow it down if you want anyway it not so serious yet lah wait until cannot pee then come back"

The body is made up of so many biochemical reactions. Western science is based on ceterus paribus but claims to be the most authoritative and accurate in its knowledge which I find a joke. Ceterus paribus is only good as a mental exercise. Any branch of non-western science that can keep a body working fine is equally good to the manufactured poisons of the west that give you more side effects after all. Western science does not really know. Maybe when we seriously get down to complete DNA mapping and seriously poke from there, then maybe something might come from there. For now, western medicine today is more of a tool for MLM spins.

Usually they will request you to go for urine test where you are required to drink lots of water and when your bladder is full you have to pee in a special latrine where your flow is then measured.
