Traditional Chinese Medicine vs Western Medicine vs Food

Last Friday a friend shared with me about Chinese medicine, which is usually claimed to be safer and lesser side effects. 

This Chinese medicine is very commonly recommended when a person is having flu, fever and fever. 

Thankfully equipping with the Nutritional Immunology, instead of looking at the function of the medicine, first thing that I look at is the labels. 

Some of you probably seen this before as it's available at over the counter. 

First thing that I saw in the label is Ephedrae. 

Often we thought since it's plant food, it must be safe. 

However, Natural isn't Always Safe

For example, Ephedrae. 

Ephedrae is a common plant exists in weight loss products. FDA actually banns the use of the Ephedrae in dietary supplement. 

However, why it appears in medicine for flu, cough and fever? 

It turns out that it's being used in medicine because of it's ability to induce sweating!

In Harvard Health, 

• "In 2003, FDA announced it was banning the sale of products containing ephedra."

• "It claims for promoting weight loss as well as for increasing energy and alertness"

• "Side effects of herb include heart palpitations, nausea, and vomiting. More than 800 dangerous reactions have been reported, among them, heart attacks, strokes, seizures, and sudden death"

• "According to Annals of Internal Medicine, ephedra products make up only 1% of herbal supplement sales in US, but they are responsible for 62% of herbal related reports to poison control centers"

Natural is not always safe. 

If it's safe, it should be able to be consumed on daily basis. 

The question that I will always ask is that, is pregnant lady, kids or infant, elder safe to consumer the products? 

In the Nutritional Immunology, we know We have best doctor within us, which is our Immune System

Among TCM, Western Medicine and Food, which do you think will nourish our Immune System the most?

Do you have dry lips or chapped lips?

It can be very irritating to have chapped lips or dry lips, especially we are at indoor aircond room most of the time. Things may be worst if we travel to winter country with dry air. 

I traveled to Korea during winter early this year, thankfully I have the Liprotect Gel to protect my lips. 

Besides, it helps with those who has chapped lips too. 

The lip protect gel is not for sales, only comes as a free gift :)

Currently, Lip Protect Gel is available as free gift.

Do you encounter constant hair falls and hair thinning?

Is this getting common when body starts to age?

• Frequent hair falls
• Hair thinning
• Split ends
• Unhealthy hair follicle 

For healthy hair, prevent premature aging is one of important factors. Other than this, we need to look into Biotin, if we are lacking of biotin in our body

Let's look at What can Biotin do for my body?

Without Biotin, it will cause many issues, which also contributing to hair loss. 

Where can you find Biotin? 

There are many products out there in the market promoting Biotin. As a consumer, how do you know if it's safe?

Let's look at the ingredient label, to know if it's made from Synthetic chemical or Wholesome food

Comparing the both labels highlighted, which one is safer and healthier?

How safe is the organic fruits and vegetables?

Grateful to be able to attend a training on 3rd March with Dr Chen and family, to understand more in depth in various aspects including the safety of the food and ingredients that we take. 

How safe is our organic food? 

According to wikipedia

Organic food is food produced by methods that comply with the standards of organic farming. Standards vary worldwide, but organic farming in general features practices that strive to cycle resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity.

Organic farming means a healthier method in producing the fruits/vegetables, however, does it ensure that it's safe from contamination? 

The only way to really sure the safety of the fruits and vegetables produced are via the testing, to ensure that it's safe from those heavy metals, pesticides, micro-organism, poisonous and chemicals. 

I am grateful that all the Superfoods that I am taking are free from those chemicals. 

These are the list of pesticides being tested up to today, in all the Healthy Fast Food that I am consuming. In the future, the list will grow when there are new pesticides come up in the market. 

Pesticide List

These are the poisons that have been tested in all the Superfood that I am taking

Poisons testing

Looking at the label of the Vegecolor that I am taking, which contains 28 types of vegetables in rainbow of color and free of all the pesticides and chemicals, definitely it's safer than much vegetables out there. 

Cheers
