Excerpts:
1. SNAKE BLOOD REMEDY
For 35 years old New Yorker,
Jake Ray, has no sense of smell,
After a 3rd surgery,
i lost the sense of smell
because i can't smell
i have not taste
so the only thing i can really taste
are very salty things
and very sweet things.
I'm finding it hard to understand
medicine i can't see or touch
But i do believe in placebo effect
Its one of medicines greatest puzzles
when symptoms are reliviated
simply because of patient believes
the treatments works.
Professor Suen* believes
tongue is the map of body's entire meridian system
- the newtwork that control the flow of Qi or energy
around the body.
And by treating it with acupuncture needle
he believes he can cause a physical change
in different parts of the body.

2. COW URINE CURE
To me it looks like archaic
blood letting was performed routinely in the west
for almost 2000 years
it was dismissed in the 19th century
as having no medical benefit.
