Hello,
I have been taking a Chinese medicine (herb) that my TCM doctor prescribed. It is supposed to be treating my liver. However, I have never been able to find ANYBODY who has heard of it. That includes 200+ people in a group that discusses just such topics. Can you illuminate this mystery? The name is “Cing Yeh Tan” tablets. I’d like to know what I’m taking. (more…)

Reader Question About Hepatitis C and Chinese Medicinal Herbs:
Hello! Thanks so much for all your help. I am suffering with Hep C and I think it’s wonderful that I do have some alternatives to the dreaded interferon/peg treatments. I am a little hesitant about taking herbs, I am very sensitive and have had reactions to say, dandelion, other things I am able to tolerate. My herbalist, the one you recommended in Santa Monica, said he would work with me on this, by prescribing one herb at a time to see how well I tolerate them. I was wondering, do you have any kind of screening process for your recommendations of herbalist and acupuncturists? I haven’t seen Al Stone yet, but I do get a good “vibe” from him on the phone. Thanks so much, and please see if you could list any current studies on herbs and acupuncture in dealing with Hep C. Thanks so much for all your help!!!!! (more…)
