Why Try Chinese 

 Advanced Experience – 2,500 - 5,000 YEARS.

  • The causes and treatments of many "incurable" diseases that ravage many Westerners today have been documented in great detail and the treatments have been practiced for over 5,000 years.

  • You will be amazed to see the advancement and sophistication of various treatments based on traditional Oriental medicine in the areas of internal medicine, mental health, and gerontology, gynecology, dermatology, pain management, and neurology. Perhaps Chinese Medicine’s strongest suit is its ability to treat chronic diseases, which conventional medicine has poor results with and correct imbalances before western medicine can detect problems (when the Dr. says ‘it’s in your head").

 Over 5,000 Natural Ingredients Are Used.

  • The effects and usefulness of over 5,767 unique natural ingredients of herbal formulas have been scrutinized and documented in great detail. It is known that among these ingredients, there are 4,773 botanical ingredients, 740 animal-based ingredients, 82 different minerals, and 172 processed herbs. (Chinese Herbal Pharmaceutical Dictionary) The wealth of knowledge is directly applied in naturally treating diseases without side effects. This monumental achievement has taken thousands of years of study and documentation. Traditional Oriental Medicine offers time-tested options.
     

 Inexpensive and Non-Invasive

  • It costs the patient $30,000 to $40,000 to undergo an extremely risky heart bypass surgery. Don't forget the cost of post-surgery pain, a severely scarred body, diminished prospect of future health, and precious years of human life. Doctors admit that open-heart surgery is not the panacea for heart disease.

  • On the other hand, the same patient; if he had only known, might have been able to wipe out obstructions in coronary artery vessels and reverse heart disease non-invasively with ambitious Oriental medical treatment procedures such as nutrition, herbal tea, and acupuncture, paying as little as $500! Don't forget that your health is the best asset of your life. What is health worth to you?

 Little Side Effects

  • One rule supersedes all others in health care: Do no harm! Traditional Oriental medicine profoundly amplifies this to: DO NO HARM!! Ancient Oriental medical practitioners pride themselves on this philosophy.

  • Herbal formulas were developed, tested on humans, refined, and utilized for many centuries have withstood the test of time. Because of this, there are little or no side effects, virtually no damage or toxic accumulation in the body. Many herbal formulas are so highly prized in the Orient (and more recently in the West) because they have profound effects without negative side-effects, unless grossly abused (anything grossly abused is dangerous).

  • It is documented that many herbal formulas took over 250 years to evolve and be utilized widely. Chinese formulas have centuries of tested experience. Compare that with 12 years of research and the 20-year life-span of most of today's pharmaceutical drugs.

 Treatment Goals Are Rebalance-Oriented Rather Than Symptom-Suppression.

  • The goal of Traditional Oriental Medicine is to rebalance the body. This is different from the goal of conventional medicine that does its best at halting the undesirable symptoms, but lacks in its ability to get at the root cause. Any obstacles to this goal are either the incompetence or lack of experience of the Oriental medical doctor or the improper selection of herbal formulas. Be sure to choose a practitioner who has studied Chinese herbal medicine thoroughly.

 Refined & Proven Herbal Formulas

· The Oriental practitioner’s role is to select the best formula among numerous ones that are documented in hundreds of medical books.

· These formulas have been tested directly on humans and refined for a long period of time. Fortunately, no need for anxiety!

 Whole-Body Approach

  • There is a universe in a small cosmos in every person. This is the fundamental concept that governs the central thesis of Oriental medicine.

  • The factors causing disease are intertwined among various internal organ functions. Oriental scientists have observed and understood the important organ interactions and therefore they were able to successfully treat diseases.

  • All of this may sound bizarre to anyone unfamiliar with Oriental medicine. The idea that the earth was round and circled the sun was bizarre during the time of Christopher Columbus and Copernicus. However, several centuries later, science has proved that the earth was round and that it circled the sun. Similarly, we live in a similar situation where science will discover more facts about the human body.

  • Newly emerged in the 21st century medicine: 3 Dimensional Medical System, which interacts with the body-mind-spirit. – the ancient system of Traditional Chinese Medicine, including Acupuncture and Herbal Therapy.
