Tu Youyou has become the first Chinese woman to win a Nobel Prize, for her work in helping to create an anti-malaria medicine. The 84-year-old's route to the honour has been anything but traditional.   (Beijing) - China's Tu Youyou collects her country's first Nobel Prize for medicine next week for extracting an anti-malarial drug from a herb mentioned in a traditional text, but her award has prompted debate over the role of science in the practice. Tu derived artemisinin from sweet wormwood, which she found cited in a 4th century traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) document as a fever treatment, developing a crucial weapon in the global fight against the mosquito-borne disease as resistance to other treatments spread. Traditional medicine is a source of cultural pride in some Chinese quarters, with Beijing planning to expand its provision, and even Premier Li Keqiang seized on the Nobel award, hailing Tu's discovery as "a great contribution of T...

Alzheimer Disease involves the shrinkage of frontal or temporal lobes and nerve cell death in several areas of the brain. This leads to a loss of key functions such as memory loss, impaired learning ability and concentration. Depression and anxiety can also accompany this debilitating condition.   Chinese Medicine especially Acupuncture can lower or delay these brain changes. It works by inserting small disposable needles into specific acupuncture points in the brain, which stimulate nerve regeneration and brain function. This method has been known to increase the patient’s verbal and motor skills and improve mood and cognitive function.     A new study by researchers from Wellesley College Centre for Research on Woman investigating the effects of two important acupuncture points on the human brains of Alzheimer disease patients discovered new evidence that acupuncture has a striking, sustained effect on Alzheimer patients and that the use of acupuncture c...

Winter is here – and with it stuffy colds, coughs, chest infections, sore throats and energy draining flues. Good news is that by treating yourself to Acupuncture Treatments and healthy doses of Chinese Herbal Medicines you can prevent or eliminate these annoying symptoms and maintain a fit, active, lifestyle.   According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, there is a protective layer of energy called ‘chi we’ running the length of your body. This energy acts to prevent any outside attacks from harsh weather, viruses or bacteria entering the body.   But when the weather varies this energy is especially susceptible to attack and the body finds itself unprepared to resist the colder temperatures. When this happens the lung meridian (channel) looses it’s ‘chi we’ protection and catches cold. This leads to the immune system breaking down and allowing infections to infiltrate the body system causing coughs, sore throats, chest infections, colds and flues.   Acupu...

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine standpoint asthma is the direct result of a deficiency in the lung meridian (channel). Once this lung energy becomes blocked, the chi (vital energy) becomes unstable and triggers an immune system response restricting both inhalation and exhalation. This is accompanied by wheezing and sometimes a cough   In Care Cure Acupuncture clinics we clearly differentiate between actual asthma attacks and the periods before attacks. Acupuncture can have a remarkable effect of stopping an asthma attack and many of our patients experience immediate relief after an acupuncture treatment feeling that the air way blockage was simply removed. Stimulation of acupoints can also relieve both physical and emotional stress. The patient can therefore experience both a physical release from bronchial restriction and also an emotional release from the fear of suffocation. According to acupuncture theory asthma can have 5 causative syndromes: 1.  ...

An allergy intolerance is an acute sensitivity to an otherwise harmless substance, which the immune system confuses with a dangerous infection thereby releasing a surge of histamine, which causes allergic symptoms. At Care Cure we conduct an extensive intolerance test, which measures the sensitivity of up to 110 food items, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, food additives, colouring and preservatives. In addition to this the test also checks for dust mites, pollen and animal hair.   We conduct the test by taking a strand of hair, which contains your DNA and it makes no difference to the results if you dye your hair or not. Next the hair is posted to our labs for a complete analysis and the results are sent back to us within 5-10 working days. At this stage we will give the person a call and discuss results over the phone or ask them to come in and talk to us. Results can be emailed or posted depending on preference. The results are colour coded with red being the most ...
