"I am 19 years old, and had been trying to
gain control of my acne for many years. Not only did the acne appear on my face,
but also on my chest and back! Needless to say, I could not muster up the courage
to remove my shirt in public, nor could I in front of the people I cared about
most.
I found your site through a search engine, and purchased the Advanced
Acne Treatment System, as it seemed to be the best value. Well, 8 weeks later
my skin is blemish-free. I feel as though a huge weight has been lifted off my
shoulders. I am so grateful to DermaPure for this wonderful program, I look forward
to recommending it to others that suffer like I once did."
Best Wishes, and continued success in the future. Thomas

Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine is the oldest, most comprehensive,
safest, and most effective medical system in the world. It has sustained the health
of the world's longest ongoing civilization for over five thousand years. Its
premises may be conceived as inductive rather than based in cause and effect.
Practitioners have recorded in medieval archives that span for more than three
thousand years of medical history their results of meticulous clinical research
that support such claims. This medicine is deeply rooted in the primordial principles
of the "Tao", a harmonious balance of Yin and Yang.
While modern medicine might view disease as a malevolent external
invasion by an enemy that must be destroyed, Traditional Chinese Medicine (T.C.M)
would tend to see it as a state of depletion or vacuity, establishing vulnerability
and allowing malevolent agents to enter the body and cause disease. Treatment
protocol in T.C.M. would be directed toward what is referred to as the ?root?
of a disease rather than aggressively attacking superficial manifestations or
symptoms. Since Chinese medicine is a whole person medicine, the root of the disease
might be found in the physical plane (viscera, trauma, or genetic, etc) but most
frequently on the inspirational or spiritual plane (the seven passions: anger,
joy, preoccupation, grief, fear, fright, and rage).
There are more than 2000 items listed in Chinese herbal pharmacopoeias,
but only about 350 are used in general practice, and less than one hundred are
regarded as indispensable in formulating the most popular prescriptions. When
applying these herbs in treatment protocol, the primary focus is to support the
rehabilitation of natural functions of the body and its mechanisms. This can be
accomplished through the application of strategies like tonify, transform, regulate,
drain, release, clear, expel, calm, and relieve. This differs from modern medicine
which tends to replace, augment, supplement, and remove. For example, in the case
of menopausal syndrome, modern medicine approach would be to augment or supplement
sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone) in order to stabilize the blood levels
of these messengers. In T.C.M. the approach is to tonify all glands and physiological
mechanisms responsible for the production of these hormones to prevent blood levels
from fluctuating thereby allowing the patient to experience a gradual withdrawal
without dominating symptoms.
In closing, Chinese herbal medicine may take a bit longer to achieve
desired results than with Western medicine, but it will ensure longer-lasting
benefits without the potential for long-term side effects. |
