I am a great believer of acupuncture but am really disappointed by the fake so-called "Chinese Doctor". My girlfriend used to work in one of the above mentioned companies, she said the business was sales targeted and many so-called doctors are from less-developed area in China with limitation in proper education and practice. They paid a significant amount of money to the UK registered company and the company could sponsor them to gain a "working visa" in the UK. After working for five years the doctors then are able to apply the "Indefinite leave to remain" in the UK and become British citizen. No wonder the bosses could afford hundred ...  Read the complete review

The first time I used Pepto Bismol was last year, I had been feeling rough all day but stuck it out at school, knowing that if I returned home I wouldn’t be able to attend the Christmas lighting in town. I think Dr Ramsden of Coronation Street ...  Read the complete review

Those of you who have read my op on accupuncture will know that I had accupuncture for quite a length of time and that it was very succesful! At some point during the treatment, the chinese Doctor suggested that I also try Chinese herbs. The Chinees believe in a very holistic approach. One advantage to the Chinese herbs, is that it is better for the needle phobic amongst you. Chinese herbal medicine is the term for formulae which can be made from stems, flowers, seeds, bark, roots, and leaves of many plants as well as some mineral and animal products. I was very concerned about animal use having seen programmes on bear bile farms in China. Thankfully, it is illegal to ...  Read the complete review
