As I have said repeatedly over the years and in my blogs, the best medicine is where Western and Eastern medicine merge. Knowing what to do when and using both medicines diagnostically and therapeutically is the "best medicine". 

Chinese medicine really shines when it comes to keeping your immune system up and creating a "shield" over your immune system that helps a person prevent succumbing to colds and flus easily. However, no person is completely immune no matter how much they cultivate themselves.

In my dissertation I discuss the importance of the ovaries to the health of women and how
removing the ovaries may negatively impact and inter-relate to IC (chronic bladder problems).

.....who I have the deepest respect for! He is a man who stands up for what he believes. This is not an easy task because his opinion is not so popular amongst the Western medical community.
