check out the prices for 2 months of herbs for Cholecystitis - $299.00

(US). Also I find the information quite lame, no TCM presentation at all, no

info on how to differentiate the disease.. they are just selling products.

Did I miss something?

Agreed: the price is high, and no TCM details of the FORMULA

were listed, nor were the % of each ingredient in the formula listed.

That page said:

HERBAL TREATMENT ... [is] designed to control infection,

dissolve and eliminate gallstone, stop pain and improve symptoms,

correct imbalance and adjust immune system, prevent and treat

complications and/or post-surgery syndrome, prevent relapse, and

most importantly, to boost energy and strong body for better health

and quality of life.

However, clicking on the 9 pictures on the page, displayed data on

the ingrediends.

The formula was based on: Chaihu, Dahuang, Huangqin, Jineijin,

Jinqiancao, Muxiang, Qingpi, Xiangfu and Yinchenhao. Sounds

reasonable for a Cholecystitis formula?

Also, the data listed under each herb in the formula were useful,

IMO. See below. [i have added the Pinyin name; it was not in the

website].

What do you think of the data, below, Jason? I have no problem

with commercial sites, probided that they contain useful data.

Best regards,

Phil

[Jason]

I am not at all impressed with the data below. I would actually say that

the below information is extremely misleading because the herbs DO NOT do

what they say. Many of the below functions are only in combination with

other herbs. Furthermore, yes the Rx presented in reasonable, but of course

zero tcm differentiation. or modifications. I would say that because this

site is set up for patients not practitioners the information would be more

detrimental than truthful for a practitioner. One would just do better

cracking a basic book and one would access much more information.
