Guest guest Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 Sorry if this is a subject already covered in earlier posts but does anyone know if Xi Xin and Kuan Dong Hua are officially banned? KPC does not sell xi xin and evergreen is not selling it nor Kuan Dong Hua. Are there other sources for granules or have we lost these herbs? Thanks Rich PCOM Chicago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Hi Rich, KPC and Crane Herb does have Xi Xin and Kuan Dong Hua that have been tested appropriately at Exygen Research Lab in Pennsylvania and FDA has accepted and double-checked the lab results.(Exygen is the only lab in the country,as far as we know, that the does this testing and the FDA accepts their test results). Regarding the AA issue : FDA continues to have a zero tolerance for AA. Several years ago, less than .5PPM of AA was acceptable. Lab testing limits have gone lower to .2PPM and these herbs now show AA as ND(non-detectable) and NQ(non-quantifiable).

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 KPC doesn't have any xi xin- I tried to order yesterday, they said that thecost of testing is prohibitve. I told them that I would be willing to pay as much as 40$ a bottle (ren shen costs this much) because we use so little in each formula and it is hard to replace it espec for sinus pain. Perhaps if other practitioners wouldtell them as well they might be willing to do it. Samegoes for evergreen. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCOM took xi xin off the shelf a year ago. Andy Ellis says he cannot find any raw herb that meets FDA standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
