Yiwu Zhang, I think in case of the patients in China, a lot of them do have response for combined Western medicine and Chinese traditional medicine treatment, read "antibiotic + Chinese herbal medicine". And compared to the patients who only used antibiotics, or only used Chinese traditional herbal medicine, the patients who were treated with combined medicine got the best result. You could be correct. Chinese herbal remedies have long been known to contain some powerful drugs, ranging from trace amounts to a fairly large dose. Without knowing specifically what herbal remedies were used, and what chemicals/drugs are in those remedies, it would be impossible to guess what effect the "cocktails" would have on the disease. Western peoples used to laugh at common Chinese folk medicine and herbs, but recent research has shown that many of those herbs contain the exact same chemistry as powerful, modern drugs. The Chinese layman may not have known why some herb worked, s/he only knew that it did work. Modern science is taking the mystery out of some of those herbal remedies, and showing that they do indeed work, and work well. KJC
