		<title>$72,000 – A High Price to Pay for a Common Cold / Flu</title>

Western medicine has little to offer in the treatment of colds and flu and antibiotics, as controversial as they are, are often the primary treatment available. In contrast, Chinese medicine is very effective at treating colds and flu, thereby avoiding the many complications that can accompany antibiotic treatment such as abdominal cramps, diarrhea, superinfections, antibiotic resistance, etc.

		<title>Gan Mao Ling &amp; Studying the Classics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[_______
Another Perspective: Studying the Classics For A Firm Foundation
By Jason Blalack, LAc and Z&#8217;ev Rosenberg, LAc
In Jake Paul Fratkin&#8217;s Acupuncture Today article entitled &#8220;Going Beyond the Classics,&#8221; it was suggested that Western practitioners of Chinese medicine are ignoring modern research only to be &#8220;married to the classic formulas.&#8221; Fratkin makes the case that China has been making advancement after advancement in medicine over the last 60 years that Westerners would be foolish to ignore.
Thus, Chinese medicine&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Slow Pulse &#8211; DGR &#8211; Draft</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There has been some recent discussion and debate on some online forums about the meaning of a slow pulse in Chinese medicine. Many believe this relates solely to rate of the heartbeat and thus corresponds to something like three beats per breath or less than 60 BPM. Although this is substantiated in modern and historical literature, it is only half the story. The slow pulse can correspond to a sluggishness or slowness in the arrival and departure of the wave. Consequently&#8230;]]></description>

One year ago, in the late fall, her hearing loss worsened and she developed a sensation of blockage in the ears. She always thought it was related to allergies (external or possibly dairy).

		<title>Antivirals treat cold and flu?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Issues in Using Antiviral Medicinals in the Treatment and Prevention of the Common Cold and Flu (Gan Mao)
by Jason Blalack 
 Originally published in the Chinese Medicine Times (Summer, 2011)
Introduction
There is a current trend for Chinese herbalists to prescribe medicinals based on their Western function. For example, modern research demonstrates that da qing ye (Isatidis Folium) and ban lan gen (Isatidis/Baphicacanthis Radix) are antiviral. Consequently, there are those in both Asia and the West that recommend their use&#8230;]]></description>
