Acupuncture and Chinese medicine journal for practitioners and students

I have myasthenia gravis and I am told that the only way to treat this is to have an operation that involves the removal of my thymus gland (which has a small tumor and is located right behind my heart). However, I’m also told that myasthenia gravis is curable using traditional medicine such as acupuncture or chinese massage.
Can the traditional approach help cure me from myasthenia gravis? Is there any evidence that supports this?

When it comes to invention, China is one if not the greatest inventor of many things that has helped transformed the world into what it is today. The very first forks were used in China. The very first functional axe and arrows were made in China. The very first studies on pharmacology, medicine, and the disciplines of archaeology, and philosophy started in China before any other empire. Gunpowder, paper,printing, ink, making cast irons for constructions, and developing mining techniques and salt mass production all started in China.

In about a week I’m dying my hair blue, but I have pretty bad psoriasis, and I have to use a dandruff shampoo. I only wash my hair two times a week (I know I should be doing it more often if I have psoriasis, but it dries out my hair too much), but after I wash all of my hair and let the medicine sit for a couple of minutes, I have to wash my scalp again, and let it sit. If I don’t, I might as well not be using dandruff shampoo at all.
Obviously, that isn’t going to be very good for blue hair if I want it to last. Does anyone have any suggestions or tips to keep the color from fading so fast from the strong shampoo? Or maybe some alternative ways to sooth an itchy scalp? Thanks.

Well my girlfreind has to put eye drops every single day and take medicine everyday because her immune system is not very great. But when I asked her about her eyes she told me she started having to take medicine 2 years ago and the skin on her eyes gets ichy every single night for her. When she puts the eyedrops on her eyes get so watery and she is Chinese btw and he eyes are slightly different than a Chinese they look more philepeno to me but she is full Chinese. I’m wondering what do you guys think is wrong with her eyes? What would of caused it? Her eyes usually have dark circles when she awakes and her eyesight is bad when she awakes as well sometimes causing dizziness. What do you guys think the cultprit for her eyes would be? Thank you educated and smart answers preferred

I try to spend time on this category because I actually love herbs and I have some extensive knowledge of herbs and their uses. And I also have information on why the FDA and Pharma Industries are only a business who profit on disease. Which is sad.
I am here because I want to help and give advice to those who are seeking herbal home remedies for their illnesses.
I always answer questions to the best of my knowledge, and if I don’t have the answer right away, I’ll always get back to you with thorough information and make sure it is always scientifically proven.
And on the last question I asked, this person (no names) did nothing but try to bash every single thing that I said about alternative medicine, and kept asking me for ”proof” and scientific studies, and how ‘testimonials’ were useless.
To me, there is no better ”proof” then the 5 star reviews from tons of people who have tried the product with positive results.
So… if you are one of those people who HATE natural medicine.. then why are you here? Go to a more appropriate subject and provide any usefulness you have (if any) at the more appropriate category for your knowledge.
*sigh* why are people so rude and closed minded
-Silencing the Critics, Enlightening the Skeptics-

Herbal remedies have been my whole LIFE, and I have seen better results on myself and others from their use of herbal remedies. An herbalist is not legally able to ”diagnose” a disease. We all know this, but after the diagnosis from a licensed practitioner, a lot of people turn to herbalists and homeopathic doctors for NATURAL cures because of their non existent side effects and their absence of harmful chemicals. I am a few tests away from becoming a certified herbalist, and I really don’t appreciate my fellow herbalists being called ”quacks” because of their practice. If anything, it is the medical doctors and medical industries who are the charlatans because they do NOTHING except treat the symptoms of a disease. Chinese doctors for example treat the whole person and the CAUSE of the disease… not just the symptoms.
There are people who have REVERSED their diabetes just by using Coconut Oil! If you don’t believe me, here are the reviews that people wrote about Coconut Oil: http://www.coconutresearchcenter.org/Suc…
And another example, Valium. Valium is mainly used for anxiety, and we all know this. But why would you take Valium which is A). HARMFUL B). Produced in a laboratory, and C). Is often abused and addictive. SO… Why would you take that when you can take Kava? Kava is an herb found in the Oceanic region like in Polynesia and Macronesia. Back in the day it was used in rituals as a calming drink and given to new comers as a welcoming drink to relax them and make them comfortable to socialize. And medicinally, it has the same effect on anxiety like Valium does except it’s natural, safe, zero side effects. I don’t see why people are so closed minded to these amazing herbs, and why they consider the people administering and recommending these herbs as ”quacks”.
Granted… I won’t lie, I will say that herbs should be used as a preventative thing and in emergencies a medical doctor should be consulted and prescribed an allopathic drug. But in my opinion, there is absolutely no reason to keep taking these medical drugs… because of their high toxic chemical properties, they only sit in your liver, and are USELESS when they COULD have saved your life in a real medical emergency since you are basically immune to them.
So, I was just wondering… all of these amazing herbs that are given to us from Mother Earth, and we choose to poison our bodies with toxic chemicals. That and we are also keeping these pharmaceutical pigs in business.
What’s your opinion?
And don’t be rude please, we’re all adults here and should act like such.

Does the bachelors in Alternative Medicine give you certification to practice Message therapy and the other areas you study or does it just teach you about it? If its the second one does that mean you would have to take a full course in Message therapy or other areas you studied just to work in it?
Thank you all who anwers!

If i was to get a bachelors in Alternative medicine would it meet the requirements to enter most chiropractor schools? Also are there any associates degrees that would meet the requirements of chiropractor school that deal with any sort of therapy or message?
Thank you all who answer! I’ll rate best answer!

so i’ve attempted it, but my god, there are alot of mistakes and parts that i’m not sure of
good luck !
