China's mainland has a three-part health risk problem.
- despite all the advancements over 2 decades the food safety, I mean the natural kinds of problems, e-Coli, salmonella, food, bacteria, very unclean cooking standards, pests, vermin, worms is STILL shockingly bad in far too many places and cases.
- Squeezing in with that is the problem of 'fake foods', chemical fillers, poisons in foods, contamination of metals and other inedible substances. btw I do NOT mean 'chemicals' the way health nuts in 1st world countries mean it, i mean chemicals like kerosene or lab chemicals unrelated to any kind of food usages.
Now those two compete to get people sick but there is a terrible 3rd which how a world of fake medicine, fake therapy, fake cure does not stop being promoted like its real. I don't mean this in the way some California goes to a goofy holistic medicine but I mean hospitals in China giving people bogus 'chinese herbal medicine' and acupuncture and then boxes of smoke and convincing themselves that actually China cured the 'American Virus' by once again herbal remedies and TCM that the world is jealous of and grovels to know China's powerful healing formulas etc.
This is notorious among village aunts and uncles but its actually shocking just how many younger people in China are utterly convinced the foolish world and their hospitals can't understand the godlike healing powers of Chinese special techniques.
but no, actually that box of mushroom smoke is not actually going to cure the cancerous growth by 'rebalancing hot and cold water' and this shlt.
As for the caner part here. yes this probably will happen because just a decade ago, we recall and uncle dying of cancer. I knew it was cancer. The cancer actualy grew outside his own skin before he died of cancer. Just 10 years ago the villagers "knew" he had too much 'heat' in the area because he frequently drank very cold water on very hot days. to my memory there was not 'post mortem' and just 10 years ago they still simply put them outside and carry out the burial. no doctors were ever involved. So, there is no such registration of a cancer death.
HOWEVER,
In fact, now they ARE starting to have hospital engagement and doctors verify who died and what they died from. 10 years ago almost NOBODY ever died from ANY diseases (since nothing is registered as such other than deceased) but all were reported to have died from 'drinking hot/cold water and imbalance of heat' I'd assume, only thing i ever heard of,
so, you WILL now start getting a huge uptick in cancer deaths .. since... well since they just officially report them not that there is more.
the next problem is, as mentioned, WAY TOO MANY Chinese will dick around for months and months putting 'smoke boxes' and drinking buckets of lemongrass and frog tea and by the time they realize the cancer is obviously getting much much worse they seek treatment at a 'western hospital'. but its now too late.
Many of those will have been cancer that COULD have been caught and stopped and stalled in most any other culture and country but instead will only get proper treatment when it's months or years too late.
and that's my take on it.
