Guest guest Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 My doctor truly cares for me and even calls me several times a week to see if I need anything. One for one. He's even tried to find ways to reduce the cost of my medicine and has given me 'stock' meds for free. I don't think he is out to get me and that's the point...it's not eastern vs. western it's people vs. people. There are good and bad doctors on every side and good and bad scientists on every side. Your experience makes me happy for you but I know others who have been scammed on both sides. --- Hunter <us2china2@...> wrote: > I think you hit on the one reason I chose to give > this a try.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 I think you said in one post that when things go bad that the drugs are pulled off the counters UNLIKE herbs,, THAT is NOT true,, look at vioxx,that is just ONE OF the HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of drugs out there that are eventually recalled..., THEY KNEW it was going to cause AT LEAST 100,000 incidents or deaths,, but they put it out there anyway ,, why? because of the money... and current tx,, dont get me wrong,, Im glad I took it as my hep is in remission now 3 years,, but I AM left totally disabled from tx,, from the INF and riba and I KNOW MANY MANY others who are left disabled like me,, and yet, they keep putting out this particular combo,,even tho IT IS leaving many ppl damaged,IF an herbal combo did this,, it would be pulled for sure,,,, so your version is not always correct,,, sometimes yes, but not always,, its about the money,, when they take the money out of it,, then things MIGHT change,, Rath <kdrath@...> wrote: My doctor truly cares for me and even calls me severaltimes a week to see if I need anything.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Sweetie,, YOU are the one getting angry here,, ok,, Im putting this conversation to bed,, it does no good to try to discuss things when one person gets angry,, I am not going to respond to any more conversations regarding herbs vs western meds tonite,,Im tired,, my father is in the hospital dying,, and I just dont have any more of me that I can spare right now... THERE are good and bad in both,, its just too bad that one side has all the controls,, sleep well hon,, lets let this go,, ok? Rath <kdrath@...> wrote: that's great- don't read a word that I a have written-no you all are so correct- herbs are not about moneyright? there are no people getting arested for sellingwestern meds healing patients and claiming its easternright? no there is no money scandals with easternmeds- by the way I like how you turn everything overto Western meds and ignore any debate about the herbs-kind of funny- defending something without a realargument...money money money...you know what if I canbe cured of something than did the motive matter? youthink families push their children into Chinesemedicine because of the goodness? are they not peoplewho need money too? please I get it- no one can talkabout herbs without getting their head ripped off- usewhat you like and hope your minds create strong enoughbelief systems because that is what you need-placebos- is it not about money? most people turn toeastern meds after there is no other alternative- theyprey on peoples hopes and desperation to squeeze alast dollar out of them- you want proof? I can giveyou study after study, arrest after arrest- but stickto your guns and attack something that wasn't evenbeing discussed. does it matter that WEstern medssuck? I have said there are issues? but you keep usingthat to cover the real topic. I can't get to the topicb/c the same thing keeps getting thrown at me and sothe burden of proof is always on me and no one answersa question they just attack me with the same thingthat has been stated fifty times- --- Jackie on <redjaxjm@...> wrote:> I think you said in one post that when things go bad> that the drugs are pulled off the counters UNLIKE> herbs,, THAT is NOT true,, look at vioxx,that is> just ONE OF the HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of drugs out> there that are eventually recalled..., THEY KNEW it> was going to cause AT LEAST 100,000 incidents or> deaths,, but they put it out there anyway ,, why? > because of the money... and current tx,, dont get me> wrong,, Im glad I took it as my hep is in remission> now 3 years,, but I AM left totally disabled from> tx,, from the INF and riba and I KNOW MANY MANY> others who are left disabled like me,, and yet, they> keep putting out this particular combo,,even tho IT> IS leaving many ppl damaged,IF an herbal combo did> this,, it would be pulled for sure,,,, so your> version is not always correct,,, sometimes yes, but> not always,, > its about the money,, when they take the money out> of it,, then things MIGHT change,, > > Rath <kdrath@...> wrote:> My doctor truly cares for me and even calls me> several> times a week to see if I need anything.
