Guest guest Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 I will support Doug's well considered view of Robert Newman. After Robert served as the president of the American College of TCM, he went off to China to fill a post as a botanist maintaining and learning to grow CM herbs. Didn't you spend at least a year as the director of that herbal garden Robert? Perhaps you can expand on my comments and correct them as necessary. At any rate Robert got to rub shoulders with expert agronomists specializing in the growing of Chinese medicinal herbs. He is also friends with Dr. Liang where I work who travels through 5 to 7 provinces of China annually to visit with agronomists and local growers and to fill shipping containers with herbs that fit her and Dr. Kang's preference as Shanghai doctors. Robert's knowledge and facility with herbal growing is rare here in the Western countries. Also he now has significant insight in to the growing strategies and the challenges of the Chinese grower. In each remote region of China where herbs are grown, there are unique local traditions just as there are unique local Chinese medical customs and orientations. Some of it has been lost over time (especially recent times), and some of it is retained. Thanks Doug for mentioning this.
