Guest guest Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Hello: I have a friend who was in a terrible auto accident about 16 years ago. She was in very bad shape and her husband ended up with a closed head injury. She has done EVERYTHING to help him heal (he has motor problems, balance problems, speech problems, ataxia, etc. although he is a complete angel!) It is very heartwarming to see such dedication and she has never given up. QUESTION: She was surfing and found the: Hsin Kuang Herbal Store on line and one of their products was designed for just about every symptom her husband has. Does anyone know if this is a reputable company or can you give me any other source as a recommendation of herbs? Of course, she (and I) are new to the herbs but would like to try anything that may help. Thanks for your time! Terry Todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Hi, Terry: While I don't know much about that source, Bob Linde belongs to this list: http://www.acuherbals.com/about/about.htm You may wish to consult with him about the particular product you have in mind, and your friend's injury. While it is good that you seem to have found something " off the shelf " that meet's his needs, you would do well to consult Bob or another herbalist first. In Chinese medicine, it is very important that a practitioner examines the patient, makes a diagnosis and tailors herbs for the specific patient, to precisely meet the patient's needs.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Thanks for the vote of confidence Jack. I'm not familiar with the companies in Europe. I did go to there website to check them out. Seemed ok but... I didn't see anything about quality control testing of their herbs, doesn't mean they don't....just like to see what their standards are. I'm also not a fan of making such bold claims without a proper TCM diagnosis. Price is a bit high for 3 months of herbs...should be about half that or less.... but maybe herbs are extra pricey in England. On the other hand, I looked at a few of their formulas and they are generally right on if you go off the most common pattern for each western disease. oh yes and not a fan of their statement about their keeping secret their research. We had a few teachers like that...herbal knowledge is for everyone and not to be hidden away. Not sure that helps any....for a serious disease such as the one you mention, I would suggest seeking out a well trained TCM practioneer in your area.
