Reminds me of the old story about 3 blind men, each touching a different part of an elephant, and each being certain that they knew everything about what they were touching, what it is, what it is for, etc.

In the age of science as the new religion, too many times things are falsely propagated as absolute law. There is no law, only more exploration. Perspective is everything. . .

So, I heard that Google is censoring natural medicine, and is biasing its search engine. I decided to test it myself. I typed in "Acupuncture is" on google and then on Duckduckgo. As you can see Google really is censoring natural therapies. I recommend everyone switch their browsers to duckduckgo, a search engine that is unbiased and protects your privacy.

There are many herbal formulas in Chinese medicine for repairing and building bone. It’s nice to see research catching up and confirming what we already know.

https://news.ubc.ca/2017/08/29/new-osteoporosis-treatment-uses-traditional-chinese-herb-to-prevent-bone-loss/

An herb widely used in traditional Chinese medicine might hold the key to a new osteoporosis therapy that could prevent bone loss without causing side effects.

We thought we’d won and protected the future of traditional medicine – but it looks like the win is under threat. Now we need to fight again, and quickly!

Senators who voted in February to protect the use of traditional medicine claims on natural medicines, are under pressure to backflip.

Skeptics and anti-complementary medicine activists are supporting a last-ditch campaign to try to persuade Senators to move a Disallowance Motion by June 25.

If successful it would see warning labels placed on natural medicines.

Tell Senators you want the current law upheld and traditional use claims protected.

How did we get here?
In February, the Senate – in line with the World Health Organisation – protected traditional use claims and voted against calls for warning labels to be placed on natural medicine products and affecting modalities, including Chinese Herbal Medicine.

Rural Health Minister Senator Bridget McKenzie criticised calls for the legislation to be changed saying: “I think it is offensive and disrespectful to those who practise traditional medicine. It’s not consistent with the World Health Organisation.”

“We as a country, have endorsed the World Health Organisation position on the role of complementary medicines in the natural medicines framework, and this position acknowledges that traditional medicines do have a valid function in the modern medicinal framework,” Senator McKenzie said.

“For some, particularly those using Chinese medicine, the history of practising in that traditional medicine paradigm goes back thousands of years. It’s been extensively refined, practised and documented and in many cases incorporated into mainstream medicine. So, a statement required by the Australian Government that the indication is not in accordance with modern medical knowledge and that there is no scientific evidence will be seen as arrogant and insensitive to those practising and using traditional Chinese medicines,” she said.

Your Health Your Choice, in a Senate submission, objected to the proposed changes.

What can you do?
We have until June 25, 2018, to act.

The deadline for a Senator moving a Disallowance Motion is Monday next week.

Use the form to tell Senators in your State or Territory to stand firm.

Two in three Australians use complementary and traditional medicine – now is the time for your voice to be heard!

There is no such thing as a superfood. Or should I say everything is a superfood/medicine, or poison, all depending upon the functional imbalance of the individual. Consuming something trendy can cause many problems to the consumer, the environment, and entire communities that depend upon growing herbal medicine for centuries. With demand, price increases, as does fraud, and corruption.

“It’s exciting to see medicinal mushrooms suddenly coming into the spotlight but the rapid ascent to mass popularity has lead many people to jump into the production, marketing, and consumption of mushrooms without a full appreciation of their nuances.

A licensed Chinese medicine herbalist can be a great resource in assessing the best way for you to incorporate medicinal mushrooms into your wellness routine.

One of the most important considerations with medicinal mushrooms is sourcing. In Chinese medicine, the quality of natural medicine is dependent on both where and how it was cultivated. This is especially true of mushrooms as fungi are nature’s great composters. They are built of the plants and animals they grow atop of.

Reishi, maitake, cordyceps, and turkey tail are quickly becoming all the rage as the latest superfood trend.
In Chinese medicine, however, the use of medicinal mushrooms dates back to some of the first medical texts on record.
For example, reishi’s reputation as a powerful medicine dates back to about 200 AD in the great classic herbal text, the Shen Nong Ben Cao.”
