Guest guest Posted February 17, 2002 Report Share Posted February 17, 2002 Hi, I spoke with my acupuncturist and she says you can get the berries in Chinatown. She actually gets them through the acupuncture school here, b/c she knows they will be hign quality, which I guess is of some question when foods are imported from China. She also says that these berries are not for everyone, and that they should only be eaten under supervision of an acupuncturist. They are warming/nourishing/tonifying and are NOT OK for excess or hot folks; so if you are interested in these berries, you really need to know if you have heat signs or excess. A good place to go to find this out (this is from me, not the acupuncturist!) is Paul Pitchford's Healing with Whole Foods.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2002 Report Share Posted February 18, 2002 I really don't think such an attitude is necessary when I am just trying to be helpful. Of course do what you want, Morton. I just felt I was being responsible by passing along the information that a licensed acupuncturist would want you to have before consuming these berries. If you have heat signs and take these berries and have a negative result, wouldn't I have felt terrible not informing you ahead of time?

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2002 Report Share Posted February 18, 2002 Only under the supervision of an acupuncturist, you say! Really. And should I have a seance with my acupuncturist before I plan my next visit to the local art museum? Or my visit to the proctologist?
