Subject: herbal tea and more ...

Dear Dr. Ming

After the firt day of preparation the herbal tea,  I can now understand more clearly de small details. Thanks a lot for all your explanations and your pacience in explaining everything.
I am taking notes about Humberto's health state and I will send it to you soon.

Just another question about the costs of TCM treatment in your hospital: the $60 per day, is for the herbal tea, massage, acupuncture and a room in the hospital, as You said. And it also including the meals, is that right?
And for an accompaigning person, is it the same price or lower ?

If we will travel to China, could You provide support and help for driving from the airport to the clinic? This is a very important detail for Humberto, due to the fact that, at the moment,  he is not able to walk or even to stand up alone or to help moving his body from one place to another.
If you don¨t mind, Please let me know this questions, to allow us to evaluate the hypotesis of visit and stay in your clinic for treatment.

Thanks in advance.
Best wishes, for You and your team

Dear Dr. Chen (and Dr. Ming)
 
Thanks  for your suggestions about my heath. I use to take care about myself, but in this present moment I really need some time for me because I feel a litle beat hot, tiered and an impression on my throat. I use to do some exercise (Lu Jong and Tsa Lung - tibetan healing exercises, very similar to Qi Jong) in the morning, I drink a lot of ginger tea, and I rest at least 8 hours per night.

I already have a kind of patient form to fill regulary, in order to easily follow Humberto`s disease/health evolution. I will e-mail it for You times
to times.
Humberto is very happy with the herbal tea arrival, and we have a strong hope on it effects. Humberto is doing exercises with arms and legs each day (with my help), and also I am giving to him daily sessions of Cranio-sacral and Chi balancing, massage, ... . His mental power is now much much more strong. I am quite sure his phisycal power will follow the mental one ...
Thanks for Your help and Hope
With Love

Dear Jacinta,

Thanks for your e-mail. As to your question about drinking the tea, I suggested you boil and drink it twice a day, and you'd better drink it in the morning and in the afternoon in each internal 8 hours if you don't mind. If there is something inconvenient to you , you may choose the time convenient to you but the interval should be 8 hours. After boiling the first tea and drinking 200ml of it,you'd better add 200-300ml water to boil it again. And take another 200ml. Is that clear to you now? Please don't hesitate to let us know your condition.

Best wishes to you!

Dear Dr. Ming
Thanks for your explanation about the preparation of the herbal tea. So there is no problem to make the tea in the afternoon and take the firts
dosage at that time of the day and then boiled it again in the next morning and taken the second dosage ?!
And if we add again 500 mL, for  a second time, and boiled it again, it should have some remaining tea after 2 dosage of 200 mL.
As You say to drink 200 mL of tea in each internal 8 hours, it means that Humberto could take more than 2 dosages a day, if we respect the 8 hours between each dosage and if we still have some remaining tea ? Or  is not convinient to take 3 dosages a day (8X3=24 hours)?
I hope you could understand quite well my question.
Best regards
Jacinta

Dear Dr. Ming

I am sorry because today this is my second e-mail, but I have forget some thing very important in the previous one.
And the question is:
- Could you inform about the aproximate costs of a treatment in your Hospital. Let say if Humberto will like and will be able to travel and saty in your Clinic to received a complete treatment on TCM (herbs, acunpulture, ...), how much it could be the total costs (the hospital room, the meals, and all the treatments).
I would be very grateful if you could answer this question as soon as possible.
Thanks, in advance.

Subject: herbal tea arrived already

Dear Dr. Ming

The herbal tea, order by Humberto Pires on October 24th, have arrived yesterday, the 21 of November.

Tomorrow Humberto will begin to take the tea, in morning and afternoon. But , first I will like to know the follow detail: could we made the infusion in the afternoon instead of in the morning as You suggest ( i.e. put the bag with the herbs on the 500 mL of water during 30 minutes,  after that let it boiled during 25 minutes, and then take/drink about 200 mL in the afternoon and latter on, in the morning take/drink the second dosage, the remaining 200 mL). The reason is only a pratical one, because at Humberto´s home it will be difficult to prepare the tea in the
morning.

And, should we boiled again the infusion, the remaining tea (about 250 mL) with the bag inside, before drink the second dosage? If we do this, as I can understand, the second dosage will be must more concentrate as the firts one, is it right?

Thanks for every thing. Have a nice day

Subject: nutritious food ? and more

Dear Dr. Ming

I am Jacinta, talking in the name of Humberto Pires, from Portugal.

The medicines (the herbal tea) that we have order have not arrived yet. We still waiting. During this waitting period, Humberto is taking Aloe vera medicines (juice, pills, cream for massage, etc.) and doing morning stretching exercices, massage, Reiki ...

While waiting for the tea, I would like to search about the plants of this specific herbal tea. So, could you please send me a list of the latin names of the species including in the tea that we are waiting for? I have not told you before, but I am a scientist, and one of my fields of
interest is plant ecology and herbology. So if you have references about the medicinal properties of those plants, please could you let me know it ?

And a second question, for today, is: what you mean by "during the period of using this medicine, please have more nutritious foods ?". What kind of food are you refering to - protein, like tofu, seitan, milk, meat (white meat), fish, leguminosae (pea, beans, etc), ...  ???

Thank you in advance

Dear Dr. Ming

I have a detail question about the preparation of the herbal tea.
You said:
"put the herbal powder bag in a jar or a mug with about 500ML water. Soak this gauze bag for twenty minutes. Heat the water to the boiling point with strong fire, then make the fire to be mild and decoct (i.e., simmer) the herbal powder for about 25 minutes. When the decoction is lukewarm, please take 200ML pure decoction in the morning. Repeat all these processes in the afternoon and take another 200ML. Actually, it means that the same dosage (i.e., the same powder bag) is used in the morning and in the afternoon." And my question is: - in the afternoon, what means "repeat all these processes" ? "All" means since the step of "heat the water to the boiling point" (the remanescent decoction or
liquid, after taking the 200 mL for morning tea drinking) until  it is lukewarm and able to drink ?

and between the morning and the afternoon preparations, the herbal powder bag should be taken off the container/mug/jar/decoction liquid  and soak it again for twenty minutes in the second daily preparation or afternoon preparation ? and then boiling it during more 25 minutes ? Is that what you means ?

I hope you will understand my question. Sorry and Thanks for taking your time.
Have a nice day
With Love
