Patient discussion about Medical herbalism.
Q. Which HERBAL medicine will increase my memory? I am reporter working for a familiar news channel with reputed name. The management trusts my words because I am very good in my memory. But for the past few months I am facing some memory loss and took some English medicine which is not much effective. So now I like to change my medication. Which HERBAL medicine will increase my memory?
A. You can also play games increasing your memory like the game - MEMORY. You have a lot of carton-pannels with always a pair with the same picture and then you put the cartons hiding the pictures (face on the ground). If you have not this game, create yourself one and train yourself. There are also many auto-didactic CD's in book-stores which will help you to increase your memory. Soon you will be able to remember also numbers, phone-numbers, addresses and whatever you often need. Good luck and have fun playing with yourself. MEMORY is not a game only for kids!
Q. I am worried about the allergic reactions I had from the Chinese herbal drug. I am worried about the allergic reactions I had from the Chinese herbal drug that I took for my arthritis…..are these safe?
A. Many people have some type of reaction to either a drug and even a supplement. You can check with your doc to get tested to see what your sensitivities are. Regarding arthritis, no milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, anything with milk for starters, AVOID like the plague! Suagr consumption too will raise hell with it. There is a product that someone I knew took, called, "Cell Guard" which he bought at a health food store or Whole Foods. After a couple of months, he was pain free. Its worth a try! Cell Guard is made with SOD or "superoxide dismutase"
Studies have shown that SOD can play a critical role in reducing internal inflammation and lessening pain associated with conditions such as arthritis! Check it out! Let me know how you do!
Q. Now I am suffering from diabetes, is there any best Chinese medicine for diabetes. One of my uncles had an allergy problem and was cured by a Chinese medicine which was prescribed to him when he visited China. First he hesitated to use it but later he was convinced by it after seeing a better result of his friend who used the same. Now as I am suffering from diabetes, is there any best Chinese medicine for diabetes?
A. Yes there are! Firstly it depends on a constitutional analysis of the patient, in other words, how their body or mind is functioning. Remember that pancreatic dysfunction within Chinese Medicine can have a range of diagnosis. The greatest difference would be whether it is Type 1 or Type 2, the nature of the beginning and chemistry factors. I would not self-medicate with any herbs for this condition without seeking out a well qualified and competent practitioner.
