DUONGLAM, VIETNAM: Do Doan Quat, 71, a 6th generation traditional medicine doctor, is seen with his wife Tran Thi Thanh in their home. They are grinding two different kinds of pangolin scales and mixing them with other herbs to create a medicine supposedly good for tumors. Quat confided that he has never been convinced of the efficacy of Pangolin scales but that his clients believe in them so he uses them. He states that a lot of this kind of medicine is a testament to the power of belief. He adds that the use of pangolin parts in Vietnam was so common in the past that it was like using chickens. He says the use has declined and is not so common anymore, the recent ban has moved the trade more underground and there are very few local pangolin left. He states that much of Vietnam's traditional medicine is imported from China. The Vietnamese tend to prioritize traditional medicine but, in an emergency, will go for Western Medicine first.
