John,

Sorry - I don't remember if I read it somewhere or a teacher had

mentioned it in conjunction with adaptogenic herbs. And I could be

completely off-base there. On a related note, I do remember a few

years back when they started selling ginseng extract in all the quicky

marts and we started seeing patients with anxiety, dark urine,

insomnia, palpitations, fevers, etc - only to find out they were

popping ginseng left and right. Our profs generally preferred huang qi

for a general qi tonic since it doesn't get locked in the body as ren

shen can.
