    Western traditional medicine also had working stuff along with the poison, for example aspirin. So I'd have to hear more before believing Chinese traditional medicine isn't also 98% trash

        Ursodiol is just bile, nothing specific to bears in it. I assume TCM has much broader uses too.

      Thank you for astutely illustrating the attitude of "it came from non-whites and hasn't been verified by whites, so it must be trash until proven otherwise."

        What does "also" refer to there?
