Yesterday, on our last day on board the Ruby Princess, maaseru and I went to a shipboard talk on Chinese Herbal Medicine, given by an Australian woman named Tanya. It was held in a room on the Sun Deck (Deck 16) that I hadn't been in before; in style was a nice blend of Shinto temple and Christian church, though there were no religious symbols on any ( Read more... )

I would definitely have gone to that talk if I were there, it sounds fascinating.

So... are you going to try Gu Ben Wan? And let us know if it works??

I don't know yet whether I'll be able to find Gu Ben Wan in Ottawa, or how much it will cost. But if I find it... And if I can afford it... I'll let you know how it works.

One of my professors, Dr. Deanna Chang, is from Hawaii and will not listen to anyone who denigrates Chinese medicine. She is, as far as I've personally seen, totally right -- as are you. Remember how a Chinese doctor helped Ken Gale when no conventional doctor could? Yup.

I hope that encounter provided you with useful insight. Keep me posted?

It was a comfort to hear from a medical professional (of any sort) that the many odds and ends of things bothering me might be treatable and curable. It's a nice thought, and I'll hold to it. Can't try the Gu Ben Wan till I get some, when I get home, but I look forward to it.

I haven't talked at all about the detox system I'm on, at the same time - will go into it later, no doubt, but I've been wanting to see what results are like. So far so good.

Yes, I was pleased to hear of that, too; I can imagine how good it felt for you to experience it. If you cannot find the Gu Ben Wan (but I imagine you will), let me know, and I'll help look ( ... )

With any luck, I can look for Gu Ben Wan on Somerset St. tomorrow.

The detox is working, I think. I'm feeling good, anyway. That's a plus!
