Weibo supports medical decolonization:

--- Quote ---
> The influencer son of a Chinese billionaire has been banned
from posting on China's Twitter-like Weibo platform after he
questioned the efficacy of a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)
endorsed by Beijing to treat mild Covid cases.

> "The user is currently banned for violating relevant laws and
regulations," reads a message on Wang Sicong's Weibo account,
where he has more than 40.5 million followers.

> Known for flaunting his lavish lifestyle online, the
34-year-old is the son of real estate mogul Wang Jianlin, who
was once China's richest man.
>
> While Weibo did not provide details behind the ban, reports
said it is related to the influencer's now-deleted posts on the
Lianhua Qingwen capsules, a popular herbal medicine used to
treat Covid.

This is how stupid the Western model of nutrition ("vitamins"
LOL) is.
While we're at it, let's look at some history:
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin#History
--- Quote ---
> In 1881, Russian medical doctor Nikolai I. Lunin [ru] studied
the effects of scurvy at the University of Tartu. He fed mice an
artificial mixture of all the separate constituents of milk
known at that time, namely the proteins, fats, carbohydrates,
and salts. The mice that received only the individual
constituents died, while the mice fed by milk itself developed
normally. He made a conclusion that "a natural food such as milk
must therefore contain, besides these known principal
ingredients, small quantities of unknown substances essential to
life."
--- End Quote ---
No, the mice died because you were experimenting on them, you
Western scientist! If you had simply let the mice eat whatever
they themselves wanted to eat, all of them would still be alive!
And this does not require the mice themselves to have any
abstract concept of "vitamins"! Therefore we do not need such a
concept either! All we need are our tongues!

pollutants enter the environment there unfiltered… This also
applies to anesthetic gases, which are used in seven million
operating rooms in Germany every year. The gases are potent
greenhouse gases and are often discharged directly to the
outside via the hospital roof. But many hospitals are now paying
more attention to sustainability.”

healthcare system would already have been sufficiently rundown,

In short, our enemies want to keep Western medicine going
irrespective of the environmental damage it is causing.
We, in contrast, advocate looking for replacements to Western
medicine. In the case of pain suppression for surgery:

> Acupuncture anesthesia has some benefits: (i) it is simple and
easy without complicated tools, (ii) there are no side effects,
(iii) non-painful areas are induced without the involvement of
innervations of the areas stimulated by acupuncture, (iv) the
anesthetic effects last after acupuncture anesthesia and (v) the
wound heals more quickly.

Western anaesthetic equipment:

Non-Western anaesthetic equipment:

This is how inferior Western civilization is. (No prizes for
guessing which is more environmentally friendly!)
--- Quote ---
> There are some drawbacks, however: (i) anesthesia produced by
acupuncture has individual variations and (ii) too much time is
needed to induce anesthesia.
--- End Quote ---
Doctors are supposed to view patients as individuals! Yes, this
requires a level of sensitivity on the part of the doctors that
is probably out of reach of most Westerners.
As for time, I would like to see a recalculation that takes into
account the time required to manufacture the Western vs the
non-Western equipment.

Why would you even want to artificially slow down the passage of
food through the stomach?! The speed of passage is what it is
for a reason!
Why not simply space out your meals differently? You decide when
and how much you eat; that is the only control you should need.
Why even try to exert control at a different point in the sytem
when you already have control at the usual one? That is
equivalent to playing a video game and not using the joypad but
instead trying to move the character by directly manipulating
the circuit board!
But Western medicine doesn't care.....
