Can Traditional Chinese Medicine Help You Live Longer?

  From the article: > --- Traditional Chinese Medicine > Legtimacy comes from thousands of years of collective experience, in oral and written traditions. > --- Western Biomedical Science > Legitimacy based on statistical analysis of objectively measurable responses, averaged over large populations in the last decade or two. The article is full of comparisons like this. There is also a lot of "Traditional Western Medicine" with "Legitimacy [that] comes from thousands of years of collective experience, in oral and written traditions." It include leaches. The Modern Science Based medicine includes vaccines and antibiotics. (I refuse to call it "Western", because many of the discoveries of the "Western" medicines were done by medics from China, Japan, other Asian countries, and other places of the word.)
