Intro to Asian Medicine, Chinese Herbal, Qigong, Tui Na

[ClementsTom]

It's all a money-making scam. There's no scientific evidence to suggest "Chi" even exists. Don't buy into it. If you have a health problem, go to your GP and seek real help.

[stonetop]

the only people that are talking about energy medicine are those already lost in the woo

[ArgoSG]

I smell bullshit.

[simonizr]

blah blah

[gummyworms80]

aaah boring introduction, the arrogant westerners arent going to buy into this, got to show more actual cases.

[Fire4FX]

Her big-uns' look medicinal :p

[cwaj]

@Fire4FX I agree.

[skeletonmom]

Vairocana23 and Prospero811 the FDA (Food & Drug Administration) who oversees all of the commercial drug and foods (including additives) in the US, state ON THEIR OWN WEBSITE that the burden of scientific proof can be given by the companies who stand to profit from the sales of the drugs. And they are not held accountable for any suppressed or unpublished negative results regarding those drugs. Plus, most trials are not long term-so sometimes using a drug is a gamble.

[This19]

good morning, jeremy! would you like to take your medicine now?

[mitchmanTX]

Damn! I just noticed that chick has some big... eyes. That and she knows her Oriental Medicine. I take Chinese Medicine I purchased while in Shanghai. Very impressive, and nice blouse.

[fatlion12]

Chinese and Western medicine could complement each other wonderfully if we westerners stopped being so arrogant and profit driven and started seriously using herbal medicine. Hard drugs have many side effects and don't help the body heal, herbs can actually encourage healing if used correctly.

[prospero811]

If Chinese "medicine" is so much better, then why do the Chinese not live longer, healthier lives than Americans?

[trypsin881]

what data are you basing this on? Personal opinion?

[vairocana23]

The health of the Chinese people declined as they switch away from their traditional diet of nutritious foods and abandoned their ancient healing arts and began to utilize "Western Medicine"

[stonetop]

@vairocana23 that has more to do with industrialization and societal changes... not the presence of "western" medicine.

[zivkovicable]

@vairocana23 Really? so mortality rates have gone up in China since the introduction of so called Western medicine? I don't think so.

[trypsin881]

that'll never happen.

[abyssquick]

I agree that Chinese medicine is useful. There are great formulas with traditional herbs, and the understanding of the human body / organ systems does somehow cohere when observed.

It is also, however, full of superstitions. Much of it does not work, and this is the side of it which the public is prone to perceiving.

We need to research these traditions scientifically to weed out the good treatments from the superstitious, erroneous ones.

What we need this day and age is synergy.

[deltaxml]

Very interesting, I have to admit that I'm quite sceptical about eastern medicine but I'm seeing more and more that western medicine is becoming about pharmaceucticals which is really disturbing, so maybe a look at the eastern ideas would be a step in the right direction. Also, what's with all the idiot comments, seriously - there's plenty of other videos to post stupid remarks on.

[vairocana23]

And where does western medicine get all of their pharmaceuticals especially their "miracle drugs" from? From the very same plants and herbs that various peoples around the world have been used for centuries and some from thousands of years. But those same medicinal plants and herbs are not consider valid treatment for illness or disease based on FDA regulation. It a very sick joke played with the public's health.

[prospero811]

No. A medicinal plant and herb is not considered a valid treatment if there is no evidence that shows that it works. If you properly conduct a double-blind study that can be verified and repeated that shows grass seeds cure cancer, everybody would use it. The sick joke played on the public's health is played by snake oil salesmen who make unsubstantiated claims.

[vairocana23]

LOL, and who determines the validity of these so called double-blind studies? If you look at the amount of pharmaceutical drugs that has been recalled in the last 5 years alone should make any one with common sense question these so-called double-blind studies that approved those drugs in the first place.

[leajo47]

legalise weed , i dont smoke but its way better tha tabacci and other perscription drugs

[RefugeeT]

hahaha true, i don't smoke either but it should be legal. peace

[boony68]

Fuck the pharmaceutical mafia......Traditional medicine rocks.

[Ephemerance]

The fake tan is too distracting, maybe choosing a green garden as a background contrast wasn't such a good idea.

[zappaelcrappa]

The Asian girl would have been good in this segment ...... i miss her soo :(

[bajan13k]

Interesting, informative, and lots of information.

[WMEC38]

What's up with this hippie crap! If eastern medicine is so great then how could it fall into disuse in China? Maybe because science and logic work better than superstition. People stick with what works and scrap what doesn't. Plus, what does she mean when she says, "we don't practice surgery in the west." Nothing she says makes any sense. Maybe someone should help her put her thoughts together better so normal people can understand what she's talking about.

[sugarpuddin88]

Specifically in the USA, physicians treat only symptoms

[vairocana23]

You are so right about that comment. And the root causes go untreated which lead deepening pathological manifestations in the body.

[sugarpuddin88]

Thanks

For 12 years all the scientific research has proven that cholesterol lowering drugs increase morbidity & mortality - So why are they the number one USA prescribed drugs?

In fact, cholesterol does NOT cause atherosclerosis, (hyperinsulemia triggers cytokines that cause it)

Cholesterol is needed to form hormones; so by turning off cholesterol, you turn off hormone production; the agent ages quicker & dies faster

USA medicine is ranked 54th in the world

[abyssquick]

Yes;

Linus Pauling linked it to Vitamin C deficiency- his last great contribution. Cholesterol levels in the blood do not matter if one has adequate Vitamin C (2000 mg/day - to match blood levels found in other great apes) for collagen formation.

When collagen is strong, no weaknesses develop, cholesterol does not stick to artery walls.

It also helps significantly to not eat bad fats (saturated, trans, overabundant omega-6), which weaken collagen.

USA medicine sucks, agreed.

[vairocana23]

I am aware of that fact and many others about the scam that is allopathic medicine. The key to optimum health is for people to educate themselves about nutrition, and learn about plants, and other herbs that have centuries and even millenniums of safe usage. As long as a person chooses to remain ignorant, and don't take responsibility for their own health that person is relegating himself or herself to substandard quality of life.

[sugarpuddin88]

Vairo

People are going to choose ignorance; and continue to serve themselves up as steak to the International Cartel of Bankers as well as to their physicians

[sugarpuddin88]

I have studied as a physician both occidental & oriental medicine; and your introduction is absolutely brilliant!

[c16467]

Janus,

I welcome learning more about this much misunderstood and suppressed area of knowledge and endeavor in America.

Making any data or information all about the physical appearance of the presenter merely labels the poster of such tripe for what they are: rude, ignorant humanoids.

[hoosiergambler]

c16467,

rude, obviously. ignorant? please forgive my ignorance in presenting this inquiry: could you please explain your application of 'ignorant' in this context? ignorance does not equate a rejection of mores.

[hoosiergambler]

c16467'

i just saw your profile, you're a scientologist!?! wtf dude, you have absolutely no business calling anyone ignorant of anything, not even a 6 year old little child!! scientologists are the ultimate in 'lemmings'. please disregard my previous inquiry.

[7410n0]

Does this woman do messages too?

[7410n0]

massage* lol

[ShardedFire]

i use the Wu Tang sword style

[Sonic88Reducer]

nice breasts!

[7410n0]

Absolutely!

[xxXghislainXxx]

this is great info

thanks for sharing!

[flowithego]

There was a time when this channel wasn't so bad. Now it's all this sort of tripe. Basically, anything that's not mainstream/Western is assumed to be true simply based on the fact that it's not mainstream/Western.

Also, is it now a requirement of this channel that all videos feature women in extremely tight tops or short skirts? Are they not capable of making their points without using their bodies? If people only agree with you when they're staring at your chest, then your arguments need work

[cane443]

wwood14 and youngturker are douchebags.

[Twinturbo120]

right on!

[Beatnuk]

I do Qigong and Tai Chi.

It's... incredible.

[koolbossjock]

lol...That will be known as project bluebeam.And the useless government will screw it up like they do everything else.They can't manage tooth decay let alone try to pull this off.Google project bluebeam..but you may already know about this foolish idea.

[SSparks555]

Pharma is man made, Herbal is God made. The Good Book talks about this.

[IWannabeJew]

Yep, I made a video about it.

"Pharmaceuticals Condemned in the New Testament?"
