Chinese American: Information from Answers.com (3510 words)
Chinese Americans constitute one group of Overseas Chinese and are a subgroup of Asian Americans.
These Chinese Americans still consider their place of origin to be their homeland, and feel that they are sojourners who are displaced from home, as opposed to considering the U.S. as their home and are ethnic minorities living in their homeland.
Chinese Americans are divided among many subgroups based on factors such as generation, place of origin, socio-economic level, and do not have uniform attitudes about the People's Republic of China, the Republic of China, the United States, or Chinese nationalism, with attitudes varying widely between active support, hostility, or indifference.

In the context of Chinese medicine, the term "herb" is actually used to describe any natural material of plant, animal, or mineral origin, or any traditional or modern preparation of the natural materials short of preparing an isolated chemical.
The rationale for use of Chinese herbs is twofold: to attack the tumor and to support and strengthen the patient's immune responses.
