I bought “ the Barefoot Doctor’s Manual “ years ago. I wish more Western medical folks had a copy of it.
I’m going through a regimen of natural medicines presently for my damaged inner ear. It’s way better than an operation.

He is in a great position now as a well trained scientist. Wish the best of his career. Would love to see what he can achieve.

I'm a firm believer in lifestyle medicine. Western medicine has its place. But only when everything else fails.

This was a really great and rare interview. It highlights the nuances of naturopathic therapies in relation to phytochemical research. I really appreciate when science can support what cultures around the world have been experimenting with for thousands of years. Not only that, but to acknowledge the intelligence of plant life and the millions of chemo-diversities that work synergistically and in conjunction with each-other to create a desirable outcome is the perspective in science that I think will support the balance of humanity with the planet.

I can sit and listen and learn about herbs all day and never get tired of it. Someday I will go back to school to learn herbal medicine ❤️

What a pleasant presentation! Well done. I have lived in China and am a firm believer in TCM . The Motherland has produced such genius - and continues to. I don’t understand why the bother to CONVINCE the West of this brilliance - When the student is ready (I don’t believe the West is mature enough) =the Master will appear.

Herbal medicines have been practiced by all human races, all walks on the earth; but Chinese as an ancient country may reserve most of the treasures

Remember the movie ( save the private Ryan) ? After the company broke through the German 1st line of defense on Normandy the Sargent started to collect the dirt . The Philosophy is the different dirt grows different life. After the life is formed, the local material is the best support for that life form.

I’m in Canada and my naturopath walks around with a Chinese medicine book like it’s her bible.

Learning Traditional Plant medicine has to go hand in hand with ecology preservation. It is pointless to have all these knowledge only to find that these plants have gone extinct because we decided to clear the land for civilization. Then scientists go back to labs to create synthetic versions which is essentially modern drugs. It goes in circles. Not saying TCM is unimportant, in fact very important for everyone to afford their own healthcare. But we must all do our parts to encourage the growth of natural ecology. ✌️

This is so interesting. I would love to learn about some plants. This video could have done without the background music.

[evian]

Chinese medicine is not only plant based. Good information though.
