Coral-70 and Pedma Gyatso

Coral-70 is a treatment for cerebral thrombosis, coronary heart disease, hemiparalysis, high blood pressure, poliomyelitis, polymia and epilepsy. The medicine is the result of years of work conducted by Pedma Gyatso, a veteran Tibetan doctor.
Not long after the People's Liberation Army entered Tibet, 18-year-old Pedma Gyatso was sent to study medicine in China's hinterland. Seven years later, he graduated with excellent grades and returned to his hometown where he was assigned to work at the hospital in Xainza County. Pedma is a doctor of Western medicine, but he manages to combine elements of Western and Tibetan medicine to create remarkably effective results. He has invented effective Tibetan medicines.
In the 1970s, Pedma Gyatso was president of Xainza Hospital. Seeing that medical care was inadequate on the grasslands, he led a two-month expedition into the wilds of Tibet to gather naturally occurring herbal medicines. The team gathered 54 kinds of herbs and 28 kinds of minerals. With their harvest, they produced more than 100 patented medicines. Pedma and other medical staffers worked together to create more than 300 new prescriptions that have played important roles in preventing and treating common disease and endemics on the grasslands.
The plateau in northern Tibet is very cold and short of oxygen, therefore many people suffer from polymia and high blood pressure. Based on his rich experiences, Pedma Gyatso was able to effectively combine coral, pearl, saffron, saussurea involucrata and other natural materials to produce a medicine that treats these symptoms. Since coral-70 first came out 20 years ago, it has been used by more than 600,000 patients in hospitals throughout Tibet.
Pedma Gyatso says, "Whenever I read the letters from patients who have been helped by coral-70, I feel sincerely delighted—what I have pursued all my life is the smile on my patients' faces."
