Former:

Your response is very amusing. I need to clarify a few points here:

1. I am NOT in a debate with you.

2. I am NOT trying to convince you about TCM. Whether you do or do not has no implications on me whatsoever. I could care less if you existed in a world in which TCM had never been heard of.

3. I have my beliefs and you have yours. TCM works for me and Western medicine works for you. You would rather rely on drugs for keeping healthy, and I would rather rely on my body's natural ability to stay healthy to be healthy. By the way, for what its worth, I am extremely healthy, have no mental/depression problems, and since my arrival in the US over twenty years ago, I have only been to a doctor twice (once for a severe sore throat in the early eighties and the other for a checkup required by my insurance company). I stay healthy by natural means, and almost never take drugs. I do supplement my daily exercises with a healthy diet and Chinese herbs when needed.

In any case, I wish you well and a healthy life. It has been very interesting conversing with you and sharing thoughts with you.
