If only we could report all their wrong doing to Tom Cruise in Minority Report and he could check on his time travelling TV screen if the herb is going to kill someone in the future, we could have him/her arrested today and the victim doesnt have to die. Sigh! Hi Bernard, Who would be rightfully responsible for standardization at a global scale? Dear yenjai,

Hi Bernard,
Who would be rightfully responsible for standardization at a global scale?

They don't have a fault reporting system. If someone die from a certain herbs, no one is going to alert all other Chinese Physician of the problem. Thus the herb will still get past on from generation to generation. Milo, TCM has another bigger problem.

"standardization" should be on a more global scale. milo, standardization does not mean specifiying the species and weight of the herbs from a specific practitioner. “standardization” should be on a more global scale.

With some, you get a prescription. It does say what are the exact herbs and dosage. They dont explain to you what each one does. I read up on my own. Is there a standard? I should think they would explain differently, in that they are treating the root cause rather than the common symptoms, based on an individual condition. Hence, the standard to me translate to "some guesswork" on dosage and herbs combo for each patient. And they are those that does not have a prescription. You will never find out what you are taking. I do think we have to be somewhat more careful there! Then again, the quick-fix is hard to say no to. And then it become a matter of choice. I do like the use of the word 'complementary'. Its used and developed in ancient times and today should still be under going progressive research. Interestingly, TCM actually recommended western approach to haemorrhoidectomy to me. I was able to see the benefits of western medicine and TCM having undergone treatment from both. I do believe in finding ourself one or several good Doctor(s) and overtime getting the best advise from them and enabling us to make the right decision for our own condition at the time.

"this mixture" is for such-and-such a problem. "that mixture" is for such-and-such diagnosis. What exactly is in there? Are there standards? Is it marked "contents:..."? What are the ingredients? There's a lack of transparency. err... why do you think that you're at high risk of colonic cancer, i wonder? mott, what a colourful story! :-)…

It's not as easy for the consumer to really understand what the heck each herbal ingredient and it's "cures" are. So..instead of being ignoramous..I just go to my local pharmacy..look like I know what I'm talking about and bark orders at the pharmacists to give me my usual antibiotics. See la..how not to die from colonic cancer?????!!!!!! ;-) Actually ah Dr.. When I enter the Chinese Medical Hall..you think I want to ask the uncle uncle there..what is what medicine ah?

Just be more responsible in the use of the <em>Eurycoma longifolia</em> and <em>Labisia pumila var. alata</em>. Tongkat Ali has an anti-malarial component, still under study. Have you tried them? ;-) LM, oh no… not write off. Just be more responsible in the use of the Eurycoma longifolia and Labisia pumila var. alata.
