* Modern Chinese Herbal Formulas for Menopause

by Brian Benjamin Carter, with Philippe Sionneau

and Jean-Claude Brézillon

 

I'd like to make the point that there is a Chinese herbal tradition,

but it's not frozen in time. Chinese practitioners write new formulas

for new and old diseases. They are also innovating by combining

knowledge from scientific studies with the principles of traditional

Chinese herbal medicine. In this way, they've created formulas for

serious modern diseases like cancer, hypertension,

hypercholesterolemia, glaucoma, diabetes, and sciatica.

* Pain Management with Acupuncture and

by Brian Benjamin Carter

 

My wonderfully well-read wife s to a journal called The

Pain Practitioner (www.aapainmanage.org/literature/PainPrac.php).

After reading that for a few months, I suddenly realized that they

never mentioned acupuncture. That's crazy, I thought. After all, it

competes with drugs in terms of effectiveness and doesn't cause

side effects. Plus, it's superior in permanently removing neurogenic

pain, and preventing temporary pain from going through the

" grooved into the brain " process that leads to chronic pain

syndromes.

* SARS Update: The Development of TCM in Hong Kong and

the SARS Disease Epidemic

Written by Mr. Wu Jia Wen, Translated by Rey Tiquia

 

Currently, Guangzhou City has sent two TCM experts to Hong

Kong to diagnose and treat SARS patients. We can consider this

as the first step taken by TCM to participate in the war against

SARS. However, these two TCM experts are facing thousands

of SARS patients. They cannot stay here for a long period of

time. I am afraid that this is like using a cup of water to put out a

carload of blazing bundle of sticks and twigs - as the saying

goes, " distant water won't put out a fire close at hand. "

* Eczema Case Study

by Attilio P. D'Alberto

 

Asthma started at the age of 3 in summer. Itching (eczema) started

at the age of 4, one year after the development of asthma, but

ceased at the age of 14 and then re-occurred at the age of 28.

Asthma ceased at the age of 18. The location of the itching varied

from the age of 14 at the antecubital fossa to the popliteal fossa at

the age of 28. Between the ages of 4-14, the patient's GP

prescribed steroid creams which helped the itching but the patient

later chose not to use them as he disliked steroids.
