Bears are farmed — needlessly — for the bile contained in their gall bladders to be
used in Traditional Asian Medicine. Effective herbal and synthetic alternatives to bear bile exist
and are gaining support from Traditional Asian Medicine practitioners. They say alternative
s are more
effective and bear bile is unnecessary.
"We definitely do not have to use bear bile as it can be replaced by herbs."
Dr. Sun Ji Xian - The Chinese Association of Preventative Medicine. Beijing, China
