A Push to Back Traditional Chinese Medicine With More Data
Today I read the article A Push to Back Traditional Chinese Medicine With More Data on wsj.com.
This article was about Chinese medicine's growing popularity in the West.
For example, research shows that the idea that there are imbalances in people's bodies - hot and cold - seem to be true so far. People who are diagnosed with hot syndromes have more of certain chemicals in their urine and people diagnosed with cold syndromes have more of other chemicals in their urine. This suggests that in the future there will be two different medicines for each disease or ailment - one for the hot and one for the cold.
Another example of this possible development is Yale University pharmacology professor Yung-Chi Cheng ’s work looking at four-herb combination known as PHY906 for reducing the side effects of chemotherapy. The treatment appears to contain more than 60 chemicals. Researchers are studying it for its ability to reduce nausea and diarrhea and to enhance colon-cancer treatment.
In conclusion, I think Chinese medicine is pretty cool!
