IMF/WTO itself are evils The Globalizer Who Came In From the Cold: Or How the IMF and US Treasury Fix Elections, Stir Up Riots, Kill, and Scoop Assets With Interchangeable Masks... A pattern emerges. There are lots of losers in this system but one clear winner: the Western banks and US Treasury, making the big bucks off this crazy new international capital churn. ... In the Opium Wars, the West used military blockades to force open markets for their unbalanced trade. Today, the World Bank can order a financial blockade just as effective - and sometimes just as deadly. ... And they don't work. Black Africa's productivity under the guiding hand of IMF structural "assistance" has gone to hell in a handbag. Did any nation avoid this fate? Yes, said Stiglitz, identifying Botswana. Their trick? "They told the IMF to go packing." http://www.gregpalast.com/the-globalizer-who-came-in-from-the-cold/ http://centurean2.wordpress.com/2009/10/08/the-globalizer-who-came-in-from-the-cold-or-how-the-imf-and-us-treasury-fix-elections-stir-up-riots-kill-and-scoop-assets-with-interchangeable-masks/

Easy, be calm, that will good to your health according to TCM. You missed the point. What I said is to tell that 1. Chemical medicine is dangerous. 2. Regulations and laws did not make western chemical medicine not-dangerous. That is a response to those who said TCM is dangerous. Give you an example: Flu, no western medicine are good enough, some Antiviral medication can be used, but influenza can resist it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influenza#Treatment With TCM, there is universal medication for flu: The municipal health department in Beijing has claimed that some A (H1N1) flu patients in the city have been cured with a 5,000-year-old traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment. As of Thursday, eight out of 17 flu patients handpicked for the TCM-only treatment have fully recovered from the pandemic, said a notice issued by the Beijing Health Bureau today. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/world/2009-07/02/content_8349789.htm

It has no point for you to blame a medicine if you did not use it correct. The time when Chinese called "the sick man of East Asia" and died before their 40s is the time before 1949, at that time the Nationalist make TCM illegal, and western powers dominating China. After 1949, when the western nations led by the US block China from trading, the using TCM make great progress that lot of thing about TCM been taught in colleges, Chinese become winning Olympic metals. In the year 2001, 38 percent of people in China go to see doctors with TCM medications. In 2000, the life expectancy in China is 71.40 according to CIA world fact book. I think it is a shame to totally deny the advantage of TCM when you don't have an understanding of it.

But why would the government and the pharmaceutical industry conspire to be so evil? It's all too clear to Schapira: "It's a desperate effort to destroy this industry that's threatening the profits and viability of conventional medicine. Natural medicine works so well — and is becoming so widely used — that both the Canadian and American governments have decided to 'nuke' the industries by passing new laws that effectively criminalize anyone selling such products. They simply cannot tolerate allowing consumers to have continued access to natural products. To do so will ultimately spell the destruction of Big Pharma and the outdated, corrupt and criminally-operated pharmaceutical industry that these criminally-operated governments are trying to protect." -- From http://www.ottawaskeptics.org/topics/alternative-medicine/191?task=view

You can even contribute some pieces by yourself into wiki if you love to. Did you use a western chemical drug by reading something from wiki?

post #25: (Medical errors killing up to 24,000 Canadians a year, http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2004/06/09/med_errors040609.html) post #25 as above, post #26: For the western medicine, let's look at this phenomenon: http://198.83.120.7/SocialSciences/ppecorino/MEDICAL_ETHICS_TEXT/Chapter_3_Moral_Climate_of_Health_Care/Reading-Death-Rate-Doctor-Strike.htm or google "Death Rate Drops During Doctor Strike " DOCTORS ON STRIKE Whenever medical doctors go on strike, a most interesting phenomenon occurs - death rates go down! In 1976 in Bogota, Columbia medical doctors went on strike for 52 days, with only emergency care available. The death rate dropped by 35%. In 1976 in Los Angeles County a similar doctors' strike resulted in an 18% drop in mortality. As soon as the strike was over, the death rate went back to normal. A 50% decrease in mortality occurred in Israel in 1973 when there was a one month doctor's strike! post #39: The vast majority of western chemical medicine has side effect. side effect examples from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adverse_effect#Examples_of_adverse_effects_associated_with_specific_medications

Did you majoring TCM in college? How did you know ephedra is for weight loss? In your logic, maybe cocaine will be better for that purpose.

It is clear that you know nothing about TCM. Most of TCM medications are from plant instead of from animal.

If you don't pay it by tax, then you pay it by insurance that will be exploited by 2 industries, or you pay much more when you have to use it.

That is what pharmaceutical industry want, they can increase price 100 times or 10000 times higher than its original natural form and ask you to pay through tax. To do this, they need to dominate market with the help of laws or "regulations". Under Health Canada's regulation, tens of thousands of life's lost each year. (post #25) Regulated hospitals and pharmaceuticals is dangerous. (post #25, #26, #39)

The vast majority of frequently used chinese medicine works very well in curing lots of diseases. Lots of them have effects to diseases that no western counterpart can do. The vast majority of western chemical medicine has side effect: * Abortion, miscarriage or uterine hemorrhage associated with misoprostol (Cytotec), a labor-inducing drug (this is a case where the adverse effect has been used legally and illegally for performing abortions) * Addiction to many sedatives and analgesics, such as diazepam, morphine, etc. * Birth defects associated with Thalidomide and isotretinoin (Accutane) * Bleeding of the intestine associated with aspirin therapy * Cardiovascular disease associated with COX-2 inhibitors (i.e. Vioxx) * Deafness and kidney failure associated with gentamicin (an antibiotic) * Death, following sedation in children using propofol (Diprivan) * Dementia associated with Coronary artery bypass surgery * Depression or hepatic injury caused by interferon * Diabetes caused by atypical antipsychotic medications (neuroleptic psychiatric drugs) * Diarrhea caused by the use of orlistat (Xenical) * Erectile dysfunction associated with many drugs, such as antidepressants * Fever associated with vaccination (in the past, imperfectly manufactured vaccines, such as Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) and poliomyelitis, have caused the very disease they intended to fight) * Glaucoma associated with corticosteroid-based eye drops * Hair loss and anemia may be caused by chemotherapy against cancer, leukemia, etc. * Headache following spinal anaesthesia * Hypertension in ephedrine users, which prompted FDA to remove the status of dietary supplement of ephedra extracts * Insomnia caused by stimulants, methylphenidate (Ritalin), Adderall, etc. * Lactic acidosis associated with the use of stavudine (Zerit, for anti-HIV therapy) or metformin (for diabetes) * Liver damage from paracetamol * Melasma and thrombosis associated with use of estrogen-containing hormonal contraception, such as the combined oral contraceptive pill * Priapism associaded with the use of sildenafil * Rhabdomyolysis associated with statins (anti-cholesterol drugs) * Seizures caused by withdrawal from benzodiazepines * Drowsiness or increase in appetite due to antihistamine use. Some antihistamines are used in sleep aids explicitly because they cause drowsiness. * Stroke or heart attack associated with sildenafil (Viagra), when used with nitroglycerin * Suicide, increased tendency associated to the use of fluoxetine and other selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants * Tardive dyskinesia associated with long-term use of metoclopramide and many antipsychotic medications It has been banned since tigers are considered as animal to be protected. Even not, at least it has no side effect.

Yesterday, when I click that link, it pop up a message tell me I have not install anti-virus software and start to install something in my PC, I close the window at once. Nothing to surprise if it is in United States, a nation that cops can taser 10 year old girl who refuse to take a shower. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/11/18/national/main5697860.shtml

So you mean you need not to respect human rights in western nations, human rights only need to be respected in non-western nations? So in western nations human right can often occasionally violated and you need not care about? Do you mean Chinese are better human beings that need more human rights than Canadians that you need to take special care of? So your human right can occasionally violated without respect? Your brothers, sisters' human right can occasionally violated without respect? Or do you mean native people's human right can occasionally violated without respect?

!!!The above link looks like a Trojan, please be careful if you decide to click on it.!!!

Why? just because I have make you understand that your faith to the Modern Science actually has no difference with people before Galileo believed that the Earth is the center of the universe?

Prove it. Report in 2001: Chinese people see Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors 3.93109 billion times in China in 2001. There are 2,682 Traditional Chinese Medicine hospitals in China include 279,622 beds (56.73% in use by patients), 423,957 doctors and other workers work in those hospitals. Source: http://drug.91.cn/zytd/zydt/gndt/157822.htm (In Chinese) World Health Organization: Traditional Chinese Medicine Could Make “Health for One” True http://www.who.int/intellectualproperty/studies/Jia.pdf Once again prove it. Prove what? Western study use rats? They should send to jail too if they kill people by mistake.

Dalai Lama was assigned by Chinese government before 1949. Dalai Lama rule Tibet with slavery. Dalai Lama meeting Mao after 1949 and agree to switch from led by the Nationalist (Kumingtang, now in Taiwan ) to led by the Communist. After that Dalai Lama rebel support by the US. When he failed, he led some of Tibetans flee to India. After that Chinese abolish slavery in Tibet, People have freedom since then; the government treats them better than majority Han for a long time. For examples, they can have more than one child. They learn Tibet language in school. they have countless temples, the monks are feed by tax from government. How many native temples Canada have? How many native learn their own language in schools in Canada? After that Dalai Lama continuously try to separate China with the help of CIA. He is just one of many fighters work for the United States and Western countries try to rob from all of the world. The following videos were last year made by angry Chinese oversea students when they realize that telling lie is the most favorite thing western media enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz6epnlSWcc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQPv8RgsbSc The following is by a westerner's trip in Tibet.

Sorry, the tests for lots of Chinese Traditional Medicine is from huge amount of successful practice on human beings for hundreds of years or thousands of years, not on rats like western "scientific" methods. For the western medicine, let's look at this phenomenon: http://198.83.120.7/SocialSciences/ppecorino/MEDICAL_ETHICS_TEXT/Chapter_3_Moral_Climate_of_Health_Care/Reading-Death-Rate-Doctor-Strike.htm or google "Death Rate Drops During Doctor Strike "

I think it is not bad idea to allow African witch doctors to practice medicine, if anyone is willing to go, let them go, if they make things worse, sue them. Need not to support them with tax. And let all doctors from all nations practice medicine, sue them when they cause trouble. And the very important is sue Health Canada if they made mistake, currently it is impossible because they are too strong, even when people die on bed in hospital, no one take charge. (Medical errors killing up to 24,000 Canadians a year, http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2004/06/09/med_errors040609.html) Health Canada is the place where more than 5 thousand dollars goes from each Canadian each year. Just like telecommunication is very expansive and has very bad quality in Africa, you pay a lot does not necessary mean you get good service. The reason is they have no competitors. That is the reason for all poor services in Canada. They have power who can make laws to ensure they can dominate the market and don't let any others enter the market. Sometimes I see it similar with a godfather without a gun.

What is the difference between your religion and your faith of western medicine? Did you ever try to prove a western medicine by yourself before use it?

So how you can prove western medicine are more "scientific", what is the difference between it and voodoo magic or garbage? If it is so scientific, why new medicine still need to pass a lot of tests? Lots of traditional Chinese medicine do passed huge amount of tests long before modern western medicine exist. It is still curing lots of Chinese in China nowadays more than the population of Canada.

http://ontario.omninews.ca/index.php?language=3 Click "Mandarin Omni News -Dec 03 09", started at about 8 minute 27 seconds, you need a translator who can say Mandarin to help you if you plan to watch it. This video will not be there for very long time before it will be replaced by others newer content.

Although now is no longer the time a person have different idea will be burned like Giordano Bruno. There is not too much difference that most people have no ability to distinguish which is the truth, and which are just lies or political faith similar with religion beliefs. Just like most people don't think the stars we see at night are of identical nature as the sun in Giordano Bruno's time. That gives those huge interest groups too large space to control public thinking by media.

CAS makes me start to think and study why it happen in Canada and make me find more and more about the system.
