Chinese Medical Advice

If you start to get a cold or have ANYTHING wrong with you: no matter how minor, it’s very important that you go directly to a hospital (they don’t have doctor’s offices – just hospitals). I’ve known my friend Nicole for three months and in those three months she has been to the hospital five times. This is completely normal. All of our friends visit the hospital at least once a month.

When a girl is on her period, she CANNOT wash her hair for any reason. If she does, she will get a range of health problems after she turns 50 years old. If she only washed her hair a few times when she was young and on her period, she will only get migraine headaches. If she washed her hair often, she will get cancer. ALL of our Chinese friends believe this.

If a woman doesn’t get pregnant by 30 years old, she will get cancer.

Oranges are junk food. They’re not good for your health and you should avoid them. Orange juice is even worse than pop.

Eating peanuts will make a man’s penis smaller

This is my favorite: If you sleep with your socks on, you will get a cold or the flu or have more serious health problems.

If you go to sleep with wet hair, you will experience a range of problems later in life. You will have bad eye sight, headaches and “brain problems.”

Standing next to a copy machine is very dangerous for your health.
