Guest guest Posted September 17, 1999 Report Share Posted September 17, 1999 Hi , My name is Gilbert Arnold; I am a trade and marketing officer for the Canadian Government. Herbs and their products are among my responsibilities. I am also a former benedictine monk trained to make spagyric pharmaceutical and herbal preparations any thing from antibiotics to Hawthorne tinctures. We also made beer and wine. I have as a hobby, a fully equipped lab. I also have about 3000 hours of training in acupuncture, shiatsu and tuina. I can do pulse diagnosis. Unfortunately, I never learnt about the medicinal use of herbs to any serious extent. In my travels to martial arts seminars I met and treated (for aches, pains and injuries) practitioners of tcm who got me interested in tcm herbs. I applied western and ayurvedic preparation technology to some of the less palatable decoctions and, according to these physicians, the things worked better, probably by increasing patient compliance. My academic background include a degree and professional registration in engineering, degrees in agriculture and general science, theology and chemical technology. Having noted a shift in Chinese agricultural production following their reception of a world bank loan, I have begun to work (as a hobby) on growing Chinese herbs in North America. In order to alleviate my ignorance about herbs, but without wanting to hang out a shingle, I was thinking of purchasing the following; Advance Textbook on Traditional and Pharmacology, Vol. I History - Basic Theory - Diagnostics, Vol. II Pharmacy - Prescription , Vol. III Internal Medicine Vol. IV Acupuncture and Moxibustion shown at http://www.china-guide.com/tcm/advanced.html. I'd would appreciate opinions on these texts. I am looking for a good book on Chinese herbal processing and chemical make up of Chinese herbs.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 1999 Report Share Posted September 17, 1999 Hi Mark, Thanks for the response. My current policy is to empower people by teaching them how to make their own spagyric products. I've a good electronic " course " free of charge, that will introduce you to the art. Let me know if you are interested. Gilbert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 17, 1999 Report Share Posted September 17, 1999 Gilbert, It sounds like you have an interesting and eclectic background. For some decent chemical breakdowns, try " Oriental Materia Medica " by Hong-Yen Hsu, PhD, published by Oriental Healing Arts Institute and Keats Publishing. Dan Bensky's Materia Medica lists some chemical constituents and has very good descriptions of the herbs' traditional actions as well as some research abstracts on pharmacological actions. Good Luck! If you have any Spagyric tinctures available for sale, please let me know. Mark Goldby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 17, 1999 Report Share Posted September 17, 1999 Welcome Gilbert For processing, try Pao Zhi by Philippe Sionneau from http://www.bluepoppy.com For understanding herb formula, try Chinese Herbal Medicine: Formulas and Strategies by Dan Bensky. For treatment of illness, get a catalog from Blue Poppy. They are the best company for authoritative work. If you are interested in pharmacology, contact Subhuti at http://www.itmonline.org. He is phd biocehmist/herbalist. One of his favorite english books is The Pharmacology of Chinese Herbs by Kee Chuang Huang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
