Discussion On Chinese Patent Medicine
A Discussion On Chinese Patent Medicine “Mini Lecture No. 1”
Many of the patent medicines from China come in various forms. Let’s review some of the most popular forms available, they are:
1. Tablets (which are coated and un-coated).
2. Concentrated pills (some of the pills are honey pills and water-honey pills).
3. Syrups
4. Plasters (mostly adhesive type).
5. Injection (which on occasion may require a skin test for any possibility of an allergic reaction).
6. Granules (usually dissolved in hot water to make a tea).
7. Capsules (which are generally used when the medicine cannot be made into pills or tablet form).
The tablet form is generally absorbed into the body faster than the concentrated pills. A rule of thumb is that one dose of 4 tablets will equal one honey pill.
Concentrated pills are generally round and very hard on the outside coating. The coating is usually mixed from one of the herbal ingredients that are in the formula. These pills are concentrated and because of the concentration, a person will generally only have to take a few pills at a time. Remember, these pills absorb moisture very easily, so please try to keep the pills away from any moisture.
Syrups are generally sweet tasting but the medical action from the syrup is somewhat slower than pills or tablets. Also, it should be mentioned that some syrups may contain 10% to 20% alcohol. However, the children’s syrups do not contain alcohol, or if they do, it is a very small amount. There are also some manufacturers that are producing some syrup without any alcohol whatsoever.
Plasters are usually combined into an adhesive medicinal formula. None of the plasters are ever to be applied to an open wound. Plasters are required to be reapplied, according to the directions, for a specific ailment. Note: some of the adhesive plasters may cause an allergic reaction to some individuals.
The injection form has to meet rigid quality control, strict standards and sterile procedures. The injection form works very rapidly on the patient. At times a skin test is required to determine if the patient is in fact allergic to the solution.
The granule form of herbal medicine is arrived at by using herbal extracts and powders which are dried in granule form. These granules are then placed in hot water, made into a tea and ingested.
Capsules are generally used when the medicines cannot be put into pill or tablet form. The herbal medicine is placed in a clear capsule and can be swallowed with water. The medicine in the capsules is very easily absorbed into one’s body.
There are some other forms that are used to deliver patent medicine, but the ones that are mentioned here are the most popular. Suffice to say that in order to make this oriental medicine information “easy” to understand, the information offered will be limited to specifics and importance.
Since most of the Chinese patent medicine taken around the world is usually in pill form, you can say that the medicine “looks like little red, white, black and brown pills.” And, you would be right. These pills are concentrated and they clearly are a very effective way to take your medicine, rather than going to a Chinese pharmacy and buying all the raw herbs, weighing them, mixing them and then taking the medicine. Some of the patent medicine formulas will work very quickly but there are other herbal medicines that will take some time to work. Western drugs are expected to work very quickly, but in Chinese medicine, especially of you are treating a chronic illness, the results may take awhile. The herbal medicine might take some time to make the proper changes in your body. It is not uncommon for a person to take a Chinese patent medicine for 3 to 4 weeks and sometimes longer to receive the satisfactory results. The raw Chinese herbs will work faster than the patent medicine in pill form, but the patent medicine is much easier and convenient to take. In addition, as the medicine works slowly and effectively in your body, this will certainly give you time to actually see how the medicine is working to clear up your health problem. And, remember when you’re taking Chinese patent medicines there are many that really work as “tonics” and these tonics work like a vitamin. They can be taken over a long term to improve your health, vitality, well-being and longevity.
But as with any medicine, it is important to remember that when you use Chinese medicine, be consistent when you take the remedy and be certain that you only take the medicine as recommended in the packaging or on the bottle. If you follow the directions accordingly, you will receive very good results. - END

“Mini Lecture No. 2”
Chinese medicine is one of the leaders of healing in the new upcoming millennium. This particular method of healing can give you a step up and provide your body with a very powerful natural defense against the ugly prospects of illness, disease and premature aging.
I hold the concept that Chinese medicine promotes good health and well being and that one’s body is dependent of the maximum production, maintenance and flow of energies throughout the body. Chinese medicine does this job, and more. Just to mention a few beneficial results of oriental medicine I can say that it will allow you to improve your proper metabolic function, correct circulation problems, and improve body assimilation, digestion and elimination. Chinese herbal medicine has the ability to help you purify your blood, rebuild your body and strengthen your immune system.

With Chinese medicine you can defy the ravages of sickness and disease. You now have a wonderful helping hand to answer some of your questions about your health problems. You now have a safe, tried and true alternative in health and healing.
Many people take medications and drugs over and over again for many years on end, but still receive very little value from them, especially if their body is in a deficient, fatigued and unbalanced state. When the body is depleted to a certain degree it cannot perform adequately and do a good job in metabolizing and delivering the benefits from the drugs and medications. And, some of the medications may actually be causing severe side effects. But, Chinese medicine is a wonderful alternative to some of the harsh effects of drugs and medications.
As you try Chinese medicine as a health alternative you will find that you will receive the health building, disease busting power from the Chinese medicines that your body needs. Remember, if you suffer from most any illness or disease, Chinese medicine might be the proven method of treatment. The practice of Chinese medicine is over 5000 years old and this method of treatment has been used on most diseases throughout the centuries. This information and regimen in oriental medicine can provide you with the information to help you prevent disease. Plus, it will tend to make your body as healthy as it can and should be.
Over the many centuries, Chinese medicine has been respected by both Eastern and Western medical doctors. Many medical professionals from around the world believe that the working benefits of Chinese medicine is necessary to prevent and sometimes even reverse these health problems that are mentioned in this information and regimen program, and much more.
This Chinese medicine health alternative and this specific information and regimen may even turn your life around like it has for the many people that I have treated with it and for those who have used Chinese medicine over the years. It is clearly a very good medical solution for this day and age.
Once you embark on the road to Chinese medicine you may experience a satisfactory improvement in your over-all health. This alternative treatment can be a very essential building block in your all around health care. You can actually provide your body with the help it needs to generate good health and wellness.
I truly believe that Chinese medicine is right for you, for that matter most everyone. I practice what I preach and I personally use this health alternative as a part of my complete health care plan. It had proved to be a blessing for some people and a dramatic life-changer for many others. So, please, do not let your body slip to such a degree that you run the risk of contracting a terrible illness or disease. I would highly recommend that you immediately begin to take advantages that are available in Chinese medicine in conjunction with any other health program that you may be using at this time. - END

A Tool For The War On Disease and Illness
“Mini Lecture No. 3”
Oriental medicine and Chinese herbs is an excellent tool which is now being used in the fight against most disease and illness. For example most Chinese herbs contain a rich source of natural and organic healing properties that has been derived from nature and mother earth. Many of the natural enzymes, minerals and healing properties which are found in the composition and make-up of these herbs are often necessary to life itself. They in turn provide the ability to assist in the regulation of the entire body system. These very useful and valuable Chinese herbs have been used through the centuries to alleviate disease and illness.
Chinese herbs, like other alternative medicines such as homeopathic remedies can be acquired from numerous Chinese pharmacies in the United States, Europe, the United Kingdom, and Asia. Why? Because the acceptance of oriental medicine is world wide and because the world is becoming such a small place, with the modern day ease of travel. Oriental medicine is recognized in most any part of the world as a truly effective healing art and science. Remember, oriental medicine is more alive in this day and age than ever before.
Everyone wants to improve their health in some way, whether it’s losing weight, relieving stress, improving ones memory, building up your energy, resolving an illness, etc., and oriental medicine can usually provide you with that desire. The Chinese herbal formulas that are used on a daily basis around the world fit into most every stage of a persons life. They indeed offer a lifetime of treatment options, no matter what a persons age or health problem. So, take this opportunity to build your health with the information provided in Dr. Kuhns books while using the proven techniques of oriental medicine. - END

Cholesterol Levels
“Mini Lecture No. 4”
Let’s take an example and discuss a medical condition that afflicts many people worldwide. High cholesterol. But, what is “high LDL cholesterol?”
In easy terms, high LDL cholesterol can be described as a “bad” type of cholesterol. This bad cholesterol usually sticks to the inside of one’s arterial walls. Eventually this will cause a hardening of the arteries, better known as arteriosclerosis.
What is “low HDL cholesterol?” When a person has a low concentration of the “good” HDL, this usually is a good indication that there may be some cardiovascular disease present. The HDL works to clear the bloodstream of LDL “bad” cholesterol. Generally when one has a high cholesterol condition, fatty deposits will build up in the blood and cause a narrowing in the arterial walls. Thus, pressure builds up. For this problem there are a number of very good Chinese medicines that significantly reduce ones high cholesterol levels. You will find a few select herbs in this Chinese medicine regimen program to treat this particular condition.
In addition to the Chinese herb formula for this condition it should be fair to mention that there are many herbs and different natural supplements that can actually lower the LDL “bad” cholesterol. However, it appears that there is currently only one food source that can be attributed to raising a person’s HDL, “good” cholesterol levels. That food source is grape seed oil, and it takes very little to raise the HDL levels. In fact, there are now some vitamin supplement manufacturers placing grape seed extract and/or oil in their vitamin supplement formula. When using the natural grape seed oil, less than one ounce daily will usually do the job and in some vitamin supplement formulas you will possibly find 150-300 mg. of the oil and/or extract.
It should be noted that cholesterol is not the dreaded threat that many people may think when it comes to h...
