| sweet and cold drink are killing asian_xl?
I was complaining about I feel so tired at work the other day, it seems that
even I had 8-9hrs of sleep on friday and saturday night, I still feel like shit
the next day.
My eyelids are so heavy and I have a shoulder pain, which made me did
poorly in Saturday job interview. My family doctor couldn't tell what's wrong
but saying I am just too stressful.
I went to a chinese herbalist yesterday, she said I should stop all the sweet
and cold drinks. The white layer on my tongue is getting thicker and thicker,
which means my digestion system is not very healthy. She asked me to drink
those bitter herbal tea last night and the next few days, so far I had a very
bad diarrhea but I do feel slightly better this morning.
So sweet and cold drink are really bad for us?
I drink sweet lemon tea, some pepsi, and cold milk tea every day. I guess
water only for me from now on.

Cold drinks are the same for you as boiling hot drinks. your body heats/cools the liquid to homeostasis. however, pepsi lemon tea are bad simply because they are high sugar drinks and are empty calorie foods.

Cold has nothing to do with it, but definitely the sugar will fuck you up and make you tired.

| Are you eating enough and are you eating nutrition or just dessert? Try getting some exercise as well and see if that helps.
When there's nothing wrong with you, go back to your herbalist and see if she sends you home with more herbs. OT: I'd like to be a doctor and run my own pharmacy.

Go back to your family doctor and say your fatigue is starting affect your work/social life. The least he can do is to send you to a lab for some blood tests. TSH deficiency? Iron deficiency? Infection? There is a whole fuck ton of stuff that can cause fatigue.

have you ever looked at some of the claims herbalists make? i remember riding the bus westbound on hastings and it stopped by some herbalist shop. i'm pretty sure i saw a sign about curing aids. complete BS, so don't waste your time on these morons.
that white layer on your tongue has nothing to do with digestion. you wanna know if your digestion is good? if you literally shit bricks, then no.

I guess everybody here has a PHD of pharmacy or biology. They all know the 5000yrs knowledge is a complete bs.
I don't want to say it is better than western medicine, at least everytime it cures my allergy much quicker than pills, and I won't feel drowsy at all.

Go back to her ask why you don't feel any different.

i will never be convinced that chinese medicine is any less than complete and utter bullshit.

I don't think it is all complete bullshit. Much of it is the same as western medicine, but they just use herbs in pure (weak) form instead of synthetics.
But most of it is, especially their diagnosis techniques.

Just wondering, what's the Elementary and HS Biology curriculum like in HK compared to ours (eg. up to Science 10)?

The real deal Chinese herbalist doctors are good... but there are wayyyy too many fakes who pretend to know shit, well what do you expect from China?
About the tongue, start brushing it? LOL
And how tired you feel depends on many things... Do you exercise regularly? What kind of food are you eating? Did you drink enough water?

You sound pretty damn clueless by assuming that none of the people who replied to your thread have any background in western medicine.
In any case; Chinese medicine is not without it merits. But seriously you're probably better off rearranging your furniture than to take the Chinese herbal medication that gives you the runs.

why argue?
I take the best both worlds, Chinese meds kicks my cough's ass way faster then Western meds. And any serious disease, i'm going with wester meds.

i don't understand where you guys come from... hot fluids are actually better for you than cold fluids. i don't know what sort of quacks you guys go to - but all doctors will tell you that. that's why when you get the flu/cold, you are recommended to drink plenty of HOT fluids and have plenty of rest. no doctor out there will tell you to drink COLD water as opposed to hot water.

does it ever occur to any of you that when you have an irritated throat, drinking any sweet and/or cold drink would make you cough more?
you get the runs from one of two reasons: you drank the medicine without eating beforehand OR you got some bad medicine. what you should do is find a reputable chinese doctor (one that has been around for 15 years or so)
what you also need to do is fix up your diet, stop eating steak everynight and switch to a more diverse diet of vegetables and meat. some fruits will help too

It's a fact that cold food and liquids make the body burn more calories in order to maintain homeostasis of the core body temperature.
