Herbal Sars cures in China

Asian , • Miracle Cures, Health Quackery

First it was vinegar, now Chinese herbalists are recommending concoctions such as cicada tea and turnip soup as a means of fending off the deadly Sars virus. The Health Daily suggested another safeguard: boiling 10 grams of dead silkworms and 10 grams of cicada skins in water with five herbs for 20 minutes and drinking the water for seven to 10 days.

Chinese seek Sars remedies

Dude, I think that is the wierdest cure ever. I've heard of bleach and vinegar but this is ridiculous.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Herbal Sars cures in China. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
