  3. For over 4,000 years, the Chinese have used certain herbs to prevent common diseases.

Modern scientific research is confirming that they were right. Thousands of years later, and sixty years after the discovery of penicillin, the study of herbs affecting the immune system is one of the hottest topics in pharmacological research.

Both the wisdom of centuries of observation, and the scrutiny of the scientific laboratory, support the view that they can.
