“No,” he insisted, “I want to die in peace. I slept with your sister, your best friend, her best friend, and your mother!”
“I know, I know,” she replied. “Now just rest and let the poison work.”

Finally back in Shanghai
I’ve been in New York for the past 3 months and it was so quiet. The city that never sleeps was a city worried if they would have a job or not next week. Everyone was out and looking for something to do that didn’t cost money. When your in China for a while it’s hard to get back to the real world, before you sit down and get something to eat you have to remember that almost 25% of the bill goes to tax and tip. When you drive to Chinatown and park your car in the lot and it cost$25 and your lunch for 2 only came out to $20 it sort of makes you lost!
I just got back to Shanghai May 1st and the city seems to be as it was. What slow down, does not seem to be one in Shanghai. More news to come when I get back into gear and check out the city.
Chinese traditional Medicine (TCM) Scientific view Efficacy
Efficacy: Acupuncture: Scientific research into efficacy
Much of the scientific research on TCM has focused on acupuncture. The effectiveness of acupuncture remains controversial in the scientific community, and a review by Edzard Ernst and colleagues in 2007 found that the body of evidence was growing, research is active, and that the “emerging clinical evidence seems to imply that acupuncture is effective for some but not all conditions”. Researchers using the protocols of evidence-based medicine have found good evidence that acupuncture is moderately effective in preventing nausea. A 2008 study suggest that combining acupuncture with conventional infertility treatments such as IVF greatly improves the success rates of such medical interventions. There is conflicting evidence that it can treat chronic low back pain, and moderate evidence of efficacy for neck pain and headache. For most other conditions reviewers have found either a lack of efficacy (e.g., help in quitting smoking) or have concluded that there is insufficient evidence to determine if acupuncture is effective (e.g., treating shoulder pain). While little is known about the mechanisms by which acupuncture may act, a review of neuroimaging research suggests that specific acupuncture points have distinct effects on cerebral activity in specific areas that are not otherwise predictable anatomically.

Chinese Traditional Medicine (TCM) Diagnostics
Following a macro philosophy of disease, traditional Chinese diagnostics are based on overall observation of human symptoms rather than “micro” level laboratory tests. There are four types of TCM diagnostic methods: observe (望 wàng), hear and smell (闻/聞 wén), ask about background (问/問 wèn) and touching (切 qiè). The pulse-reading component of the touching examination is so important that Chinese patients may refer to going to the doctor as “Going to have my pulse felt.

Theory behind Chinese traditional Medicine
The foundation principles of Chinese medicine are not necessarily uniform, and are based on several schools of thought. Received TCM can be shown to be influenced by Taoism, Buddhism, and Neo-Confucianism.
