Kelly: Chi Shao too cold?? Most patients were on formulas for 1 week maximum then wouldreturn to check in. Formulas were almst always modified. The doctors on our shifts reiterated that the highest quality herbs in China are exported to countries who will pay top dollar for them, not kept in China. The high doses are indicative of poorer quality herbs...not always but in this case..yes.. Economics is a huge factor for people so they always use the cheapest possible substitute first. I hope this is of assistance..Kelly _______________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2001 Report Share Posted February 23, 2001 Kelly Thats interesting about the dosage issue again. I was wondering about those practitioners in the States who are using really large doses of herbs , recently mentioned them , if they are using high/medium/low grade herbs .And these doctors who used high doses in China where the quality is lower , could they be getting better results than China or posibly even aggravating. I suspect better. Any chance, Kelly, if you saw any cases in China where women had hep B and were breast feeding at the same time and precautions ( if any) were taken.
