You could go back and create a good digest of information. I also seem to remember an article in one of the English language journals, probably JCM from England. There is an English language file in the CHA files called " TCM doctors look at SARS.pdf " (you have to log into /CHA website to get to this). Further to that, I'd see if you can find information published since then related to SARS in Guangzhou, where I'm told the CM treatment was very effective, and no deaths as a result. I haven't checked this out myself, so the emphasis is on " I'm told " in the last sentence. Hope this helps. Rory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 " The Guangdong TCM Hospital has recieved a confirmed 112 SARS cases between January and May 2003, among which 105 have been cured and left the hospital, and 7 patients have died. All SARS patients were treated by traditional medicine techniques (Deng, 2003, p.2). These resultsdemonstrate a 6.25 per cent case-fatality rate versus the 15 per cent case-fatality rate observed in conventional treatment alone (Galvani, 2004, p. 1351). Deng appears in " SARS Update, May 16 2003. " Pulse of Oriental Medicine. Retrieved from http://www.pulsemed.org/SARSupdate3.htm and Galvani, Alison, 2004 " Emerging Infection:What Have We Learned from SARS? " Emerging Infections Diseases, 10(7): 1351-52. -Brandt Stickley , Rory Kerr <rorykerr@o...> wrote: > > On Oct 9, 2005, at 3:22 AM, jeffrey smith wrote: > > Oh, I would like to comment on the government and the bird flu.
