Digest Number 508

[Guest guest]

I talked with the founder of Green Medicine Company, now making a tour of the

West coast. Obviously, he is not a disinterested party and wants to sell his

product of " modular herbs " . He said that all RAW herbs coming out of China have

to be irradiated because of health codes in Taiwan (Qualiherb) and the US (bug

control). He says that his product is ground up/ granulized in mainland China

thus does not need to be irradiated.

I know that my Chinese friends say that Da Zao and other herbs in china always

have bugs and are amazed by the " quality " of the herbs here.

Also:

Although I didn't see the Macciaocia lecture, the description is what I hear

from other native born Chinese practitioners. (brainwashed? - these guys aren't

exactly lovers of the communist system). Everybody has their agenda.

I've sat, open mouthed, as an American (with 3 years experience), tell a class

of 2nd year students that Masters Tong's system was superior because " the

communists destroyed " .

Will wonders never cease? Douglas, Will and I all agree with each

other and with Giovanni on this point.
