Poison or cure? Traditional Chinese medicine shows context can make all the difference

whatever I'll stick with traditional western medicine. I don't want any medical crap from China

A very pro-TCM article with many hand-waving 'facts' and blanket statements, utterly devoid of meaning or substance.

I particularly liked the part: "Ultimately, there is more to a medicine than its active ingredient." Which is utter nonsense. If you remove the active ingredient, it is still medicine? Of course not. The active ingredient is what makes it medicine, by definition.

Entire article could have been replaced with the very well known adage, "It's not the drug it's the dosage" and it would have carried just as much information.

Seriously, people get paid to write this waffle?
