No, my point is that "Traditional Chinese Medicine" didn't exist as such before Mao. There were lots of folk remedies all over the place, like anywhere else really, and Mao decided to repackage them as TCM because he didn't succeed in getting enough medically trained doctors to cover the huge population that he was supposed to lead into a better future. He basically figured that a mass-scale placebo effect was better than admitting to his people that his healthcare plans never quite took off. And people in the West are eating that shit up because they pretty much think that Asians are unicorn wizards. If there's anything in "T"CM that works, it's thanks to the broken clock principle.

100s of centuries? So now they've been curing cancer in China for tens of thousands of years all of a sudden? And it's *proven*? I must really have no clue indeed, thanks for enlightening me.
