@algancao – on Endangered Species use in Chinese Medicine

Tiger parts used in TCM getting a lot of buzz lately. Seems the “year ‘o the tiger” is spiking demand for endangered animal parts.
Legitimate modern TCM docs don’t traffic in endangered species. Poachers and sex addicts do. Trad. Med takes the rap. http://nyti.ms/bfZE7J
By extension, we should also blame conventional medicine for black-market sales of opiates or “feel-good” prescription drugs.
We should also blame the use of tiger penis as an aphrodisiac on professional golfers, since that’s in the news today. #tigerwoods
