Staff Cecil Lee Posted June 17, 2008 Staff Share Posted June 17, 2008 1. In my opinion, scientifically, so long as the "disease" is not contagious - spread thru air, then frankly, there is no scientific basis other than what you had mentioned based more on a "taboo".2. It makes more sense to say to that it would be most likely the concern that such impressions or a sudden situation e.g. someone having a heart problem or in some cases, some people "foam thru their" mouth prior to death.3. Thus, we do not inadvertenly want to "scar" someone so young with such "a horrible" - painful situation endured by others.4. stand by dentures all these are merely "old folk" theories, that's all.Anonymous wrote:I was told not to bring my young children near to old people who is critically ill due to the "qi".
