It was so-called Western medicine which believed in blood-letting. There is also SO much more to TCM, Traditional Chinese Medicine, than the infamous rhino horn bullshit. And, what makes you think Chinese medicine does not progress? It adapts to the changing world. My accupunturist never uses animal parts, for instance.

I've given western medicine all of my life and I don't like where it's brought me. What I have experienced, drat there's that direct experience LH mentioned, with TCM, has been much more efficacius AND my MD fully embraced my treatments in TCM and was as pleased with the results as I.
