I have a number of Google alerts.  There's one for food (which should come as no surprise), one for acupuncture, one for moxibustion, one for artemesia, and one for herbs.  My last set alert doesn't always pick up something interesting, but the one that arrived in my inbox yesterday was an interesting read about Huang Qin Tang's use as an adjunct to chemotherapy in treating colon cancer...and whaddyaknow, the conclusion was that Chinese herbal medicine works, even if they can't figure out why.

In other news, fire is hot and water is wet.

Anyway, for those of you interested in checking out the article, here you go: Chinese Medicine Goes Under the Microscope in The Wall Street Journal.
