value of research

[Guest guest]

" But if western patients do not typically present with the same

patterns as chinese patients, then it is likely that most chinese

allopathic style research focuses on formulas that address patterns

seen commonly in chinese patients. "

 

 

 

This is exactly why it takes me so much research and consideration

before introducing a new Blue Poppy Herb formula to our line. I may

have to look at scores of Chinese research formulas before I find one

that I think will fit a large percentage of Western patients with a

given disease. Even then, I typically have to make one or more

modifications based on legal issues, endangered species, cost, or

typical Western presentations.

 

That being said, you can find Chinese research formulas that are

appropriate for Western patients. You just have to be discerning and

look for them. As Eric said, even though the incidences may be

disproportionate, Chinese and Western patients do present with the

same combinations of patterns. Western patients are not necessarily

more complex than Chinese patients. It all depends on diet and

lifestyle. Given the same diet, lifestyle, and iatrogenesis, you get

the same combinations of chronic diseases with knotted patterns.
