I’m definitely of the belief that much has been disproven. But, Chinese medicine has roots in truth and has evolved to modern practices. I think we’d be better placed to honor those traditions and their evolution rather than label them quackery. Save that for label for homeopathy

Japanese Nat’l Health pays for approved “Kampo” (traditional herbal remedies) Delivered in aluminum packets of granules extracted in pharma factories. Big biz. ManyJPN prefer it for colds etc. I find it ineffective https://www.tsumura.co.jp/english/kampo/01.html …

Chinese medicine wasn't even accepted in China until Mao made it so, in order to be able to claim that the People's Republic had medical treatment available for everyone.

I went to a Chinese medicine “hospital” as part of a tour in China a few months ago. They claimed they could diagnose all my ailments by feeling my pulse. Of course they literally got everything wrong. Some people in the tour spent thousands that day.

Another example of "complementary therapy" meaning "useless but theatrical placebo that can be tacked on to the side of real therapy while claiming credit for any improvements".

We (the TCM criticizers) always say that in China, where the integrated Western-Chinese medicine is promoted, Western meds take care of curing the disease while the TCM 'meds' are responsible for the financial profit of the hospital
