Some Chinese say swallowing a newborn baby rat alive can cure asthma.Is that true?

proably not. I think people think that Chinese medacine  is all correct. It is not. About half of the chinese mediace will be gone in 50 years with the exstection of bears, rhinos and tigers.

I believe that a medicine works if it has been used by many cultures that haven't had contact with eachother. If something has been used that much, it must work at least a little.

Again, depending on how it is prepared if it is holistic.
And, the stuff about swallowing rats-old wives' tales!

I love the interest in primitive medicine that I have brought about. I also found an odd remedy for snakebite but it includes an ingredient I'm not familiar with. Its onion mixed with rue and honey applied to the wound and taken internally. If you know what rue is could you let me know? I wonder if that would work... only one way to test it but I dont want to hurt anyone in the process.

I would think heavily that given the difference in snake venom chemical composition, it would have to be a pretty species-specific sort of cure. Some snake's venoms are neurotoxic, others are sarcopahgous, some are paralytic

Rue, by the way, Grey_wolf, is a species of evergreen subshrub with bipinnate or tripinnate leaves, with a strong scent, native to the mediterranean area, and related to the magnoliopsids, if memory serves me correctly.
