Traditional Chinese medicine could be a remedy for failure at Olympics

Wang Cheng has the perfect remedy for athletes struggling to recover from injury during the Beijing Olympics. “Deer's penis,” she said, proferring a desiccated sample across the counter of the Tongrentang traditional Chinese medicine store in central Beijing.
“Mix it with some alcohol, take it every one or two days, and you'll soon feel better,” Ms Wang, a graduate in Chinese traditional medicine, said.
When asked what her remedy contained however, Ms Wang was stumped. Therein lies a problem for Chinese authorities anxious to avoid a doping scandal during the Olympics.
Chinese Olympic officials have advised national athletes not to take traditional remedies because some contain banned substances such as herbal ephedrine, a stimulant.

Looks like the master race is already at it.

If you are an olympic athlete, taking sudafed is a major risk as the test to distinguish diastereomer's requires an appeal. Landis lost such an appeal...

anyway back to the topic...

All this flowery nonsense masks the abhorrent decision to let the jack boots in the chinese government host the olympics.

Given this putrid regiemes civil rights violations do they really think fluff pieces about accupuncture changes the nature of the underlying shame of the chinese government?

Do you know what ignorance means? It means you don't know. Not knowing thus of course leads to your statement of how such traditional remedies is a death wish. I showed how your statement was out of ignorance by providing sources that show how acupuncture indeed works - the opening video with the open heart surgery should be proof enough. Thus indeed, you are ignorant about Traditional Chinese medicine. Care to explain nirvana?

What does civil rights have anything to do with traditional remedies?

What does Nirvana have to do with "traditional chinese medicine"?

I know your game. anyone who dares critisizes the jack booted thugs in the chinese government you cry about "bashing your ancestory" (even though you made the same exact statment" and call them "ignorant".

You fool no one. Now you brought this current discussion this way, not me, so when you start complaining again. take a hard look at your own actions.

The typical feigned outrage when someone can't debate the subject at hand but insists on attacking the individual. Please, spare me the hyperbole and support your own premise. I've shown how your premise is utterly rubbish - the video of the open heart surgery in of itself should put any doubt of the effectiveness of traditional chinese medicine to rest.

Again, demonstration of utter ignorance. The communist regime wanted to toss out traditional medicinal practices all together during the cultural revolution, hence it is anything but a "master tell the slaves" routine but rather quite the opposite.

China does not practice slavery. You must be thinking of another nation - I suggest you open your eyes a bit RH rather than be yelling your ignorant stereotypes here.

Oh please. You think I am attacking "traditional chinese medicine" and you call me ignorant?

Get a clue.

So critisism of your vaunted chinese government is "ignorant stereotypes"? DId you report me again?

If you understood one iota of the idea of liberty you would not be spewing this revisionist propaganda for the jack booted thugs you defend. the slavemasters of the chinese government dictate to the slaves everything from economics to religion. It is a morally bankrupt system of abhorrent oppressive design. There is no moral defense of it and what it does to its people will take generations to fix if it is ever wiped from this earth.

You think tearing down a mosque and sticking needles in patients make a great contry you are far beyond pathetic in the areas of judgment and a sad manifestation of the propagandist kool-aid drinker.

Pity.
