Cures! Chinese Medicine and repercussions of...

I have been majorly sick the past 2 weeks. I finished a course of antibiotics, a bottle of benedryl and a strip of antihistamines. That didn't stop be from coughing non stop or blowing my nose like it was a broken faucet.

My Mom comes over with a miracle Chinese herb. I drink it every night and now I'm about 90% better. Amazing stuff! I really do believe in Chinese traditional medicine.

I did more research on this herb and got a bit freaked - that is to say I got a wow factor.

So...all week I've been drinking and eating the dead body of a caterpillar that got infected by a cordycep and grew from its head.

But do not fear! Because this stuff works. I can attest. I found out it's also used to treat fatigue, asthma and cancer. It's expensive as it only grows in Tibet (on top of mountains mind you - the movie potential for this is exponentially increasing), and it gets harvested in the winter (WINTER IN TIBET) and pays the harvestor's livelihood for the year. (A really ridiculous selling price $41,000 per kilogram. )

Unfortunately this will lead to an ecological catastrophe in Tibet. http://www.chinadialogue.net/article/show/single/en/5143-How-long-can-the-caterpillar-fungus-craze-last-

And with that, I leave you with reading...
