FYI

 

Ban xia is still readily available in Chinatown LA. If you need a

source, write to me privately.

Ban xia raw herb is still legally available from all major suppliers as is ma

huang. Patents containing ban xia also appear to be legal if the supplier can

prove no ephedrine alkaloids are present. the rule only bans sources of

ephedrine alkaloids. It does not name specific herbs. We still need to fight

this with regard to ma haung, but a number of suppliers have had their ban xia

products tested for ephedrine alkaloids (contact your supplier). Upon the

advice of counsel, these companies are continuing to sell their ban xia

products. I always believed there would be a way around the effect of this

rule on ban xia since prepared ban xia does not contain ephedrines.

 

I have read the summaries of the legal briefs and if the products are still

covered by the manufacturer's product liability and your malpractice

insurance, I think it is safe and legal to provide ban xia products if and only

if

the supplier can provide you copies of COA's for each batch they sell to you.

You should keep these COA's on hand in case anyone ever makes a claim against

you. Whatever anyone does privately to secure ban xia products through

illegal means is of no concern to me personally. But a product that has not

been proven ephedrine free is probably illegal and I don't want this list used

to circumvent the law.
