Chinese Pharmacy

The picture above shows a Chinese 'pharamacy'. On offer is a falcon, snakes, flattened lizards and seahorses. Anyone know what the falcon cures? [via]

Yeah, you really do find that stuff in chinese pharmacies. Sometimes I really wonder if that stuff works, or it sells so well because it's rare. (It's like that whole uh..that bird's saliva thingy, it's really expensive and supposedly very good for you. But it's been proven an egg has more nutrients then it.)

My mum took chinese medicine for stomach ulcers (im chinese-australian, personally i prefer western medicine) she said it worked, but she had symptons of... whats the opposite of drowsiness? stimulated? well she wasn't hyped up, she just had trouble falling asleep, so she takes western medicine now.

And the bird saliva thing, its called bird nest, studies suggest the very small about of nutrients it has, would be gone in washing/preparing it. Its a delicacy cos one of the emperors ate it.

And if you think a falcon is weird, as an alternative to viagra, you can take tiger testicles.
