Don’t doubt your stats, but you do have to make some adjustments for standard of living. In 1960 the Chinese were a pretty backward society, no?

Currently it’s 74 vs our 80.

True, but don’t you think a lot of that is because China has accepted Western medicine?

There may be some value in some of the Chinese medicines, but they should be scientifically studied. A thousand years of tradition can still be completely wrong.

The one Chinese med I tried didn’t seem to do anything.
