It is so nice to know that the Officials in the Chinese Government are making sure that all of the Chinese people have access to a good modern-era education. And yet I am so touched by the inherent simplicity and ages old knowledge of those villagers. Whether the belief is in flying dragons or the awareness is in dinosaurs--at least some of which could, indeed, fly--these villagers are right on in using calcium-rich bones as natural homeopathic remedies. Leg cramps, AKA Charlie Horses, are often the result of calcium depletion in the leg muscles due to excessive exertion and/or dehydration. The brain knows the heart, as a critically important muscle, needs the calcium more than the legs do so it re-routes calcium to the heart, so to speak. One of the best examples we have of robbing Peter to pay Paul.
It was really quite generous of the villagers to give away some of their precious find. And now that Chinese Officials are aware of the villagers perhaps they will supply them with some modern-era supplies of calcium.

As behind as the Chinese seem to us modern Westerners, a lot of their "home-remedies" have something to them! They've been using glucosamine for joint pain long before Tylenol or Advil was ever invented!
