I mean seriously, what would that look like? Compare to a control and see which one feels more/less 'protected'?https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/889339541110177792 …

Here it appears that @TGAgovau is specifically endorsing the unscientific theory of "Qi"pic.twitter.com/wW0LJPmlmS

Do you believe that medications can "Disseminate Lung Qi" @TGAgovau? What does that even mean?https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/889353323798605825 …

What about descending liver Yang? Not a term I've ever heard in modern medicine, but then this is a table of complete bullshit isn't it?pic.twitter.com/LCVeTt9yAo
Here's another specific nonsense claim apparently endorsed by @TGAgovau: Chinese medicine can "Open body orifices"pic.twitter.com/rNSNh0YhHT
Health Nerd Retweeted Health Nerd
(Side note: which orifices do they think are closed? How does one "open" a closed orifice? So many questions)https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/889354245673074689 …

Some more gems: maintain/support healthy sexual performance, except not for serious conditions because obviously those need real medicine!pic.twitter.com/GxhqLfWNm9

Hint: if it can't be used for 'serious' conditions, it is probably ineffective for all of themhttps://twitter.com/GidMK/status/889355361647448064 …
Health Nerd added,
A better gauge imo is if it can be used on almost any condition under the sun it's probably garbage.
Both are true I think. If you can use it for anything, but not if it's serious, then it's probably worthless
You should see the rubbish they try to peddle to the chronic and terminally ill down here
