Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 G'day Sis Kariji, Thank you for your grrreat input! Tested some (blue fruit) Quandongs from a certain location in Ozland. Would like to share that some are brittle, contains high amounts of citric acid and are not as well-defined as Indian, Nepali and Indonesian rudraksha. Have yet to test further with ones from other locations before reaching conclusions. When cut open, the interiors are similar to Himalayan expartite segments but not of the same quality. In the meantime, the two batches I have, produced allergic reactions that sprounted tiny skin rashes on the arms. The rashes are not contagious and did not spread anywhere else, phew....! Thank Shiva! Btw, Quandongs are also used as bush food by our Aboriginals. Other than this, I am not aware of any medicinal uses regarding Quandongs. Or at least some companies may be trying to produce formulas but I don't know of any that have been released to the public.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 BTW-- Medicine is my field, with a special interest in neuro- and psychopharmaceuticals. I've sort of been obsesively researching Western experimentation on elaeoparpus, for awhile. Lot of references-- no specifics. :-( Love, K. , "Simone" <syzenith> wrote: > G'day Sis Kariji, > > Thank you for your grrreat input!
