where are you getting TMC in japan?

Regular GPs prescribe TCM together with modern medicine if they... think it's appropriate? I was mostly offered TCM when I was pregnant because it's seen as "low-risk". It tastes like rear end and is a hassle to take, too.
The thing that I'm allergic to is whatever they put into the root teas to make it smell/taste less terrible.

Edit: I'm not a promoter of ~alternative medicine~ but I think that sometimes mysterious problems need a mysterious cure (placebo). Please give me real medicine and vaccines for real problems.

Edit 2: omg 88 snipe :peanut:

Despite my lolling at this thread I actually have nothing against China, but that'd disgusting. There should be a campaign or something against that
They also often combine them with multilevel marketing scams and there was a really good article, that the Guardian reprinted about it.

Because if there's something worse than peddling fake medicine, it's making others do it in a false hope they'll finally escape poverty by doing so.

Hello, we have arrived at page 88. This thread is now lucky. Please do not pass page 88, as we might lose the luckiness. Sb going to read sth in this thread and have a good day.

It was 26C/78F last night here in Shenzhen and a bunch of people were telling me it is too cool outside now and that I will "catch a cold" if I go out and do anything. One of my friends who is off visiting her parents somewhere messaged me late last night with an "OMG, I heard it's cold in Shenzhen!!!" and I told her it was 26 at the moment and she was like "Wear warm clothes." Then you go outside and men and women are still wearing shorts and tank-tops. It's supposed to be 27 today and it's sunny with a breeze and people are still telling me to bundle up because baby, it's coooooold outside.

I do market research and the multi level marke.. I mean direct sellers that come of of China are bad even for Mult.. direct sellers. Sorry I don't know why I keep saying that, direct sellers are totally different.

One sold a machine that 'activates water' but even the pseudo science behind it isn't even trying.

I post on the luckiest page in this thread to say that there are no floors, suites, or apartments in the Trump Tower in Vancouver which end in the number that can not be named on this page. It is the last building in the city which will be allowed to do this.

False advertisements? Trump loves numbering his buildings in weird ways so he can sell 50th floor apartments in a house that has only 42 floors total.

I can assure you that a certain God-Emperor in Waiting from the country that can not be named had nothing to do with the numbering policy on this project. The direction for that policy came from a cantankerous peninsula which refuses to accept its return to the fold of the One True China.

There is a taxi service in my area and the number for it is 777-7777.

Fixed that for you.

I watched Dredd recently. LOL @ this comicbook cyberpunk dystopian fantasy Mega-City One that looks cleaner, friendlier, and less smoggy than any actual and true Chinese mega city we have right now. poo poo holes like Beijing and Shanghai should have been used as inspiration.
