Dragon herbs? Performance enhancing for qi gong.

[Guest guest]

Thank you Doug,

I didn't think he was a charlatan, but his formulations did seem to be heavy

on supplements, with odd inclusions. The formulas my friend asked me about

were the qi gong supplements, which I assumed would be for otherwise healthy

people who wanted to boost some aspect of their body to perform better (qi

performance enhancing drugs?). If a balanced constitution were to take

supplements they would still supplement, wouldn't they? Do other people

have an opinion on supplementation for otherwise healthy individuals? I

recall a book on TCM formulas used for training purposes who's author was a

list r, but I can't remember who it was... time for the gingko.

That book was James Ramholz who is no longer with us.

 

Ron Teagarden favors the tonic style of herbalism and has a good

reputation here in Santa Monica though from the TCM standpoint, his

formulas can be a problem for those with excessive conditions.
