Thank you Dr Chen for your Webinar in which you succinctly shared you immense knowledge to bridge Western Pharmacology and Chinese Herbal Medicine prescriptions. Now when I start writing my TCM prescription and checking against antagonist reactions I will remember the many examples you showed us. It was good to look at Chemo and Radiation patients who become so depleted as well as common cardiovascular prescriptions. Your teaching also opened up my mind to think more about the benefits of using the complementary interactions between Chinese Herbal Medicines and my patients Pharmaceutical Drugs. I noticed you have published “Chinese Herbal Formulas for Veterinarians” which I am excited to buy. Lexie Petroff Australia
