greetings, i have been reading the list since 9/00. being busy with

taking nccaom exam etc, i have been too busy to write, untill now.

 

back in sept. there were a couple of posts about the heavy metal /

pesticide toxicity of herbal medicine coming from china. while in

china 2-6/00, i met some people from europe. they had mentioned that

germany was stopping the importation of chinese medicine due to a

couple of deaths atributed to this kind of toxcity. most of the

companies that are importing concentrated powders from china into the

usa, claim that their products contain minimal to no heavy metals,

pesticides etc. does any one have more information on third party

inspection of these products? what is the true content of toxic

polutants?

we still get everything... but this belgian and english stories with

kidney toxicity are regularly brought in medias. The companies(I

know) importing the herbs get tests done by independant labs.

Herbs are mostly sold in pharmacies (in Germany) so they have to have

these tests done.

Just write to any company you know and ask them for the tests they

do. They should reply.
