Link to Tequia SARS article with excerpts

[Guest guest]

I find the following Tequia translated article on SARS in 2003 to be

of great relevance.

 

http://www.pulsemed.org/sarsupdate4.htm

 

Here are several excerpts:

 

" Currently, Guangzhou City has sent two TCM experts to Hong Kong to

diagnose and treat SARS patients. We can consider this as the first

step taken by TCM to participate in the war against SARS. However,

these two TCM experts are facing thousands of SARS patients. They

cannot stay here for a long period of time. I am afraid that this is

like using a cup of water to put out a carload of blazing bundle of

sticks and twigs - as the saying goes, " distant water won¹t put out a

fire close at hand. " Under the current health system in Hong Kong, it

seems that TCM cannot put into full play it's positive role. And some

of the community seem to have a deficient knowledge and awareness of

what the discipline of TCM is. " ......

 

......TCM has historically faced life-threatening emergency clinical

situations. Concentrated preparations, pellets, pills, and powders

have been studied and pre-formulated for quicker use. Acupuncture and

traditional massage on acupuncture points have been used in

life-threatening clinical situations with consistently immediate

results......

 

End quotes.
