    A reply on Talk: William Li: Can we eat to starve cancer?

    May 21 2010: Can't agree more. Chinese people depend on parts of plants and animals for thousands of years to cure all kinds of deseases. Comparing to modern science, the traditional Chinese medical practice (massage and acupunture included) is more like witchcraft, but it worked for thousands of years. Fortunately there're more people beginning to appreciate hidden gems like that:

    A comment on Talk: William Li: Can we eat to starve cancer?

    May 20 2010: I happen to know a Chinese hospital that specializes in hermagioma -- excessively overgrown blood vessels on the skin or in the liver. My father had a pretty nasty one found in the brain in 2003 which paralyzed him, and got cured by taking their herbal medicine and avoided surgery.

    Sep 3 2009: Come to China and you'll reach your goal by 2012! 1 out of 3 nearsighted person in the world lives in China. We have literally hundreds of millions people who need sight correction, and the eyeglass industry in China has been ripping people off for too long.

As a ethnic Han which makes 96% of the Chinese population and living in my homecountry, I'm one of the majorities in China. But it's the Korean woman she showed us touches me the most, and even got tears rolling in my eyes.
