I've seen those food combination posters at friend's homes, but thankfully, Ying is weternized enough that she, like me eats what she wants and has no problem mixing tofu and spinach, because she knows I like both, but when TCM comes up, because her older brother is a Dr of TCM, she believes every word of it.
I like a fan blowing air over my face whenever I sleep. If the weather is hot at night, I like turn the AC off, open the windows and turn the celing fan over the bed on high. Ying on the other hand will turn it off, because, according to her brother, cold air over your joints causes athritis.
A practice she has recently started and it really bugs me, is the practice of slapping herself on the arms and legs. She claims that it beats all the poison out of her body or when she is sitting on the toilet, it helps her, "do her business," but the constant smacking sound both drives me nuts, but it also tugs at my heartstrings. At first her arms were a huge mass of bruises, which she claimed was the toxins leaving her body, but I'm afraid I might get accused of beating on her. Now she doesn't bruise as much, but the sound still gets to me
