*A thread on why the trouble in #China is real*
#Singapore is one of the best test cases to judge the sentiments in #China. Now I gather that many Mainland Chinese families living in 🇸🇬are shipping essential medicines to their loved ones in 🇨🇳owing to a lack of stocks.

Reports show that anxious relatives in #Singapore are waiting for hours together in long queues to procure medicines and then courier them to addresses in #China.

Seeing this, Singapore's Ministry of Health has advised the public to buy medicines for their own use only.
The major drugs being shipped from SG to 🇨🇳 include the painkiller Panadol & the traditional Chinese medicine #LianhuaQingwen.
Now, there is a story about LianhuaQingwen!

I've been deep in conversation on FB and IG about this, so I'm sharing my opinion here, too, just so I'm crystal clear on my position.
When I posted the appearance of #MarilynMonroe's dress at the #MetGala, I did not share any of my feelings about it. But I will now. #TCM 1/7

This never should have happened. This is a dress that's culturally significant to both the film and fashion communities and a tremendous amount of work has gone into its preservation since 1962. For those of us who wear vintage, we know how fragile these garments can be. #TCM 2/7
#JeanLouis' gown is beyond fragile, especially because of the delicate fabric. But even the thread ages - as I've discovered in my own vintage - so the littlest bit of movement can cause strain on the garment and you run the risk of damage. #TCM #MetGala #MarilynMonroe 3/7
Ummm...Krush Groove is on #TCM right now....was not expecting that #AllYouCanEat
Seriously? No other Krush Groove fans....one of the best bad movies of all time....plus Run-DMC, Fat Boys, LL Cool J, and Rick Rubin in probably his only acting role :)
I mean LL when he was young, "My Radio" young....
@WHO shd introduce Traditional Chinese Medicine to the countries whose medical resources are collapsing, if they use it to treat the #COVID19 like China. Many lives will be saved in time, many cost also wl be saved beacuse TCM price are much lower. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
A tweet thread on AYUSH.
I think these traditional medicine systems are here to stay. They are of course pure junk, totally unscientific, snake-oil, voodoo medicine.. call it whatever pejorative term you like.. but they are here to stay.
Why are they here to stay?

Why are they here to stay?
Well they are here to stay quite simply because many many people have faith in them. The source of this faith and whether it is faith backed by research is debatable but the fact is people have faith in them. Mainly upper caste Hindus when it comes to Ayurveda,
But homeopathy, Unani and Siddha have their own adherents.China is promoting its #TCM - traditional Chinese medicine and the English speaking world has its #AlternativeMedicine movement. On TCM see: economist.com/leaders/2017/0…
Thread alert! Atherosclerosis (official journal of @society_eas) publishes a #review on #TraditionalChineseMedicine (#TCM). It's simultaneously a bit frightening and hilarious (1/16)

First of all, TCM is BS. It may have been useful thousands of years ago when nothing was known about science but nowadays we know better. Besides, "modern TCM" was pretty much invented by Chairman Mao in the 50's: slate.com/articles/healt… (2/16)
Look at this terrifying aim of the review! "WHAT IS NECESSARY FOR TCM TO SPREAD TO WESTERN SOCIETIES". Ideological bias, much? (3/16)
