It has been an interesting and valuable experience. Medically speaking, I feel that the treatments have had some benefits. I did not get the miracle cure that I once may have hoped for, but I found other things. I found out how to better manage my condition; what makes it better and what makes it worse. I found out that I get results when I stick to my regular strengthening exercises, and that when I slack off it shows. I have learned that daily meditation is my greatest ally and that my brain needs to be &#8216;turned off&#8217; for a while every day. Most importantly, though, is something that I already knew was confirmed; a positive mindset goes a long way to healing and feeling better. When doubt or anger or impatience clouded my mind, I did not show any progressive results. When my thoughts were positive I did. So I am happy to be at more or less a similar state as I was 5 months ago, which in my opinion is a positive when all I have been promised in the West is a steady decline of health. I am continuing my daily herbal tea (or capsules) and hope to continue on this path of positive progression.<br \/>\nAlso, it is always worth it. The things that my family and I have experienced, seen, tasted, touched and lived were like no other in our lives. As always, life is an adventure&#8230;!<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/huntadventures.ca\/our-travels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/flower.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/huntadventures.ca\/our-travels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/flower.jpg\" alt=\"There is beauty in life\" title=\"There is beauty in life\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1006\" srcset=\"http:\/\/huntadventures.ca\/our-travels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/flower.jpg 560w, http:\/\/huntadventures.ca\/our-travels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/flower-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our stay in China has come to an end after 5 months.
