I am so glad the main stream study is beginning to study Chinese herb formula. Chinese herb is the longest clinic trial in the whole world. We have used it for thousands years. It still continues to help people health. Yale medical group found an old famous herb formula HuangQinTang can easy the side effect cancers treatment caused by chemotherapy. It is under phase III clinic trial now.
