Traditional Chinese medicine makes complex combinations with hundreds of herbs, each of which has a clinical effectiveness. The dialectical composition of them can help cure the most stubborn ailments in the world.
Jin Liwu, the owner of Golden City Supermarket in Flushing of New York, has once and again fortified his long-standing love for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as all his family members have fully recovered from COVID-19 after taking the TCM decoction prepared by Deyutang, a New York-based TCM clinic that excels in the fight against the pandemic.
What made Jin happier was that a dozen of his infected townsmen from Wenzhou, east China's Zhejiang Province, also recovered after taking Deyutang's medicine, prepared by soaking and decocting the slices or coarse granules of medicinal materials with water, and removing the dregs for a liquid dosage.
Deyutang comprises three clinics within walking distance in Flushing. They are respectively owned by Cheong Tak Chio, Zhang Weichao, and Zhang Zongming. The clinic has helped locals in New York and other Americans in neighboring U.S. states conquer the virus.
The treatment of such epidemic as COVID-19 -- typically with TCM decoction and acupuncture treatment -- has become an eye-opener for many Americans of different nationalities.

Unintentionally humorous that this was in Flushing.
Both Indian Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese alternative medicines include various types of animal urine as part of the remedy. Powders or liquids.
Gulp it down.
So, what are the magic ingredients?

Funny you should ask. I think that one ingredient is “Smoking Frog”. ;)
Will you end up feeling sick an hour later?
“...So, what are the magic ingredients?...”
Any zoos or sanctuaries missing one or more of their male tigers in the last few weeks (if you get my drift)?
During the Chinese Cultural Revolution, the Red Guard youth destroyed everything that had to do with ancient Chinese culture - including writings dealing with chinese medicine and the priests and practitioners who kept the knowledge. It’s only been in the last few decades that Chinese were able to travel to Japan to ‘rediscover’ Chinese medicine and make it their own. According to wiki listing on Kampo, “The 14th edition of the Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP, Nihon yakkyokuhÅ) lists 165 herbal ingredients...” Apparently Kampo is a strictly regulated industry in Japan, with pharmaceutical-level testing of herbs for contaminants and control over exact dosing, something not likely found in Chinese-sourced ingredients.
the CCP has directed that chinese medicine be ‘reclaimed’ and pimped to the rest of the world, in part to discredit western ways, in part to re-establish their ‘ancient society’ that they erased via genocide 50 years ago, and in part to one-up Japan, which either invented or improved upon ancient ‘chinese’ herbal concoctions and methods such as acupuncture, depending on who’s relating the history.

The "dialectical" composition of herbs can help cure the most stubborn ailments?
LOL!
Way back in the 1960s, when USA high school students were required to take a course on Communism, we studied Dialectical Materialism.
Materialism - in the mid-1800s - was a challenge to the then dominant philosophical theory of Idealism.
In its simplest terms, Idealism meant that all of reality was essentially constructed inside your own mind.
Materialism, in sharp contrast, took the view that everything in reality - including ideas - were based on tangible, three dimensional, matter.
Karl Marx, or one of his mentors, came up with the idea of Materialism as a dialectical process of thesis, antithesis, and ultimately synthesis.
Somehow, Marx stretched the idea of Dialectical Materialism into political Communism.
Long story (not) short...
There is a certain comical quality to the idea that even Communist Chinese medicinal herbs are Dialectical in nature.
After watching the horror on the euro soccer pitch today....sometimes you need western medicine. That player was on his way to the afterlife...western medicine brought him back.
Re: horror on the euro soccer pitch
I do not know what happened.
High speed player collision?
No. Went into what is now being called cardiac arrest. He just dropped. He was out and dying.
The massaged him back to life. His career is over in Italy. Not sure if anyone else will let him play
Years ago had a really bad viral lung infection, antibiotics, erythromycin etc couldn’t knock it out. So I went to my pharmacist in Chinatown. He told me to go to the
Lady at the herbal shop across the street. She gave me a box of dried powder made from the glue that holds nests of the cliff swallows together in China. Guys have to climb the cliffs to get it. I made a tea and went to the doc the next day. I wuz cured. Found out later that the nest glue is the same chemical that holds the lung cells together. Now how did the Chinese know that?
Not always. It depends on what the TCM practitioner puts in it.
