				How to use Cabbage to solve your 
				health problem: You may use
				Cabbage to solve 
				some of your health problems. Followings are some of folk tips 
				used by Chinese in 
				China
				for years and years.  The tips may or 
				may not replace your professional treatments. You may try it if 
				you have no time to visit your doctor, have no money to go to 
				him, or if he fails to help you with chemical drugs, or the 
				professional treatments have caused side effects that you cannot 
				tolerate any longer, or you suffer from the trouble again and 
				again while the biomedical system found nothing wrong in your 
				body.  If there 
				are some herb ingredients in the formula and you cannot find it 
				by yourself, welcome to come and check with us, see if we can 
				help you to get it.  It is well known 
				among Chinese that some tips work even much better than doctor's 
				prescription. A good TCM doctor does not and should not refuse 
				to use such “simple” tip for his patients. So many times, we 
				know the tips (as well as the whole TCM) work, though we do not 
				know why it works from modern science point of view. There are 
				so many mysteries around us, even if modern science has tried so 
				hard to understand it.
