preservation and longevityPosted on November 15, 2008 at 8:03 PM - 0 Comments - Post Comment - LinkAmerican doctors have spent their entire professional careers focused on tinkering with chemicals and running clinical trials to scientifically prove the effectiveness of traditional medicines. So naturally there will be some resistance and attempts to subvert traditional Chinese practices. Here I would like to add that traditional Chinese medical practitioners attach comparatively great importance to the "science of health preservation". They are of the opinion that "the imperative job is to cope with a disease before it occurs." Wouldn't the result of so doing be more satisfying and more perfect than any effect that may be achieved by attending to the illness after it has arisen? The oft-told "prevention is better than cure" is what is remarkable as a national trait of the Chinese people.

Since pine pollen was often prescribed to treat anorexia if the patient was rich enough to afford the high price, we may infer now that it was certainly considered beneficial to the human digestive system. Some traditional Chinese medical practitioners believe that the pine pollen can facilitate the deposition of calcium in the bone. Otherwise, the calcium administered to an old patient might soon be excreted in the urine and the patient’s bone mass could not seem to increase so fast, the practitioners say about the past. It is a well-known fact at present that in primary osteoporosis bone mass may be reduced by 40 to 50 per cent before symptoms or signs of the disease become evident. Recent investigations have suggested that the main aetiological factor is a prolonged deficiency of calcium resulting from inadequate intake, diminished absorption from the gut or increased excretion in the urine. Pine pollen in the chewing tablet serves to improve the digestive system and to prevent the loss of calcium through the renal system. In the past, traditional Chinese medical practitioners encouraged old patients to engage as much as possible in shadowboxing not because they knew that a prolonged sedentary state promotes the loss of calcium from bone and muscle, but because they had learned from experience and observation that old people should lead an active life for as long as possible. In the same way they had learned that pine pollen and pulverized oyster shell could help old people get rid of what we now call osteoporosis.
