((TEXT)) BEIJING, NOVEMBER 9 (XINHUA) -- WHEN 50 AIDS PATIENTS
WERE TREATED WITH TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE IN TESTS CONDUCTED BY
THE OREGON COLLEGE OF ORIENTAL MEDICINE, THEIR CHRONIC PAIN,WAS
GREATLY LESSENED, AND THE COST WAS REDUCED By 30 PERCENT TO 50
PERCENT.
DR. FREDRIC COLLEY GAVE THE INFORMATION TO THE CHINESE
PARTICIPANTS AT THE CURRENT SINO-AMERICAN AIDS SYMPOSIUM. IT IS NOW
A FACT THAT TRADIOIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE HELPS TO ALLEVIATE THE PAIN
OF SOME AIDS PATIENTS AND TO IMPROVE THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE, HE SAID.
PROFESSOR WU PINGBO OF THE INSTITUTE OF TRADITIONAL CHINESE
MEDICINE SAID "TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE HAS ITS SPECIAL
THEORETICAL SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR TREATMENT." THE TREATMENT OF
OVER 3,000-AIDS PATIENTS IN AFRICA DONE BY WU AND HIS COLLEAGUES HAS
PROVED TO BE VERY EFFECTIVE: THE LIVES OF THE PATIENTS WERE
PROLONGED AND THEIR SYMPTOMS ALLEVIATED.

EPIDEMIC VIRUS." SAID CUr JINCAI 00 THE T-IANJIN MEDICAL COLLEGE.
'PROF. TI-d-SiYUAN OF THE SINO-JAPANESE FRIENDSHIP HOSPITAL HAS
FOUND THROUGH EXPERIMENTS 14 KINDS OF CHINESE TRADITIONAL HERBS
WHICH ARE EFFECTIVE IN CHECKING THE HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS.
"MOST WESTERN MEDICINE, ALTHOUGH PROVED EFFECTIVE IN TREATING
AIDS, HAS SIDE EFFECTS OR IS POISONOUS. CHINESE TRADITIONAL HERBS,
EVEN WHEN THEY ARE USED OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, WILL NOT LEAD TO
NEGATIVE RESULTS," THE PROFESSOR SAID.
PROFESSOR YANG WEIYI OF THE CHINESE ACADEMY OF TRADITIONAL
MEDICINRSAID THAT TRADITIONAL REHABILITATION MEDICINE, WHICH
INCLUDES THERAPY, ACUPUNCTURE, BREATHING EXERCISES, PHYSICAL
EXERCISES, DIET, PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPY, CAN INHIBIT HIV REPLICATION,
REINFORCE AND REGULATE THE PATIENT'S IMMUNITY AND PREVENT SECONDARY
INFECTIONS.
CHINESE DOCTORS HOLD THAT AFTER ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT, THE IMMUNE
SYSTEM OF AIDS PATIENTS IS ADJUSTED AND THEIR ABILITY TO RESIST
DISEASE IS RAISED.
