I was as shocked as all of you were, who watched the CNN report entitled "Planet in Peril" with Anderson Cooper. For those of you who did not see it, it reported on how China is the number one pillager of animals for food and medicine. Among those animals in danger are bears, tigers, turtles, geckos, snakes, deer, and more. They use them for food and for Traditional Chinese Medicine by the tons.
I want to assure you that I do not use any of these in my practice. I believe that they are not even allowed to come into the United States legally.
