Description
Alternative Healing in Modern China, with Effie Chow PhD
According to Dr. Chow, Chinese medicine is the envy of the world and has been for thousands of years. In parts of China, water shortages are critical, rivers are extremely polluted and even poisonous, and the air is even worse.
Dr. Chow believes that China's environmental problems (much like environmental problems everywhere in industrialized economies), are based on greed, impatience and shortsightedness. The Chinese government has chosen to place a higher priority on creating jobs for the country's massive population, and successfully competing on the global market, than it has on environmental protection and health. India is in a similar situation.
Eye infections are rampant in China, mostly due to air pollution, insufficient water, and poor sanitation.
