    Amazon sells it but to my mind I will not try anything without my rheumy approval....so, at my next appointment I will ask about it.

    Please do share with us if your doc says its ok to take. I don't hv a very good local doc who only keep increasing my medication and add prednisolone and never advise me when to stop them. I hv. Been on it for two months now.

      Hi Sia,

      I asked the doc if I can take herbal, he says no and he is not sure about those herbal medicines.

      Thank you 😊 Sia.

      Prayer is our only hope besides these medicines. I'm planning to try homeopathy medicines.

    No matter what ails you, Chinese alternative medicine has a cure for it, just a few examples:   Dried tiger penis, it'll make your male more virile!   Urine therapy is another excellent Chinese treatment, drinking others urine will cure hyperthyroidism.    Then we have ant eating therapy, the eating of ants has anti-aging effects.   Green bean therapy, by simply eating green beans, one can cure diseases of all sorts.   Urine eggs, boil eggs in boys urine and your circulation will improve markedly.   Deer penis,  it has important therapeutic properties and is very effective for athletic injuries.   Deer antler builds up physical and spiritual powers, true story.   But, my personal favourite:   Flying squirrel faeces, if consumed raw, invigorate the blood vessels.   All very scientific these Chinese medicines, almost makes one want to stick pins in oneself
