new jow recipe book

[blj_swmo]

Thanks Rodney and Wolfgang for publishing your text of Jow formulas! I can attest that gaining knowledge of "folk" Chinese Herbalism is rough going. I too have had my pocket picked several times by unscrupulous persons- including a couple of my "trusted" teachers. I learned a little Chinese herbalism while studying acupuncture and martial arts but I have always wanted to learn much more about hit medicine.

Plum Dragon (Josh I believe) and Dale...KUDOS for you two too It is nice to know that there are herbal suppliers out there NOT ripping people off. When I lived in Houston, TX I used to pay about $8-$35 (depending on recipe) for enough raw herbs too make a gallon of Jow. I really do miss living across the street from 3 Chinese Herbal Pharmacies. Now I have to powder my own San Qi

And from personal experience I know that Han Zi will greatly aid the Chinese herbalist filling ones prescription...

Ten Tigers: I have never hunted bear but I have used parts of deer that I have legally harvested to make wine and hit jow. Who needs Viagra when you have 80 proof deer "male-member" wine Steven Seagal can keep his powder...

Rodney, if you ever have time to waste watch a semi-terrible movie he made called the "Glimmer Man" and you will understand the joke about the powdered deer "member" BTW he also studied at Ark Wong's for a little over 3 years when he was in his late teens/early 20's.

Good luck with your Iron palm video too- I look forward to being able to purchase a copy when it is available.

Best,

BJ

Just wanted to drop a "Update note", that I personally have switched my Herb supplier
to Coiling Dragon , and that Dale offers great herbs at a fair price, with great Customer service.

Wolfgang,

Thank you for the kind words.

I try and get the highest quality herbs at the best prices to those interested.

I will beat anyone's prices on any formula from the Ancient Martial Formula's book.

Why mess with other suppliers with little or no background when you can get an 30+ year martial artists who is also an Herbalist getting his MAOM (Masters in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine) this coming August.

I agree that there seems to be a big gouging problem. What we handle has to be organic and lab certified - even at the premium, a $2 cancer tea sells for $25 commonly and from what I can see, it is the same and worse in Jow-world.

We could make these up from the formulary because we have a text that translates. (I don't know the link, but can e-mail you one. Title is "Chinese and related North American herbs)

I went over to the Coiling Dragon. Since I couldn't see formulas, it is hard to comment on the compounds beyond saying that any multi-component is going to be that price and more (often much more...) but I did go to the herbs area and those prices are cheaper on many things than what you will see on the market.

People may not be experts, but they should be able to expect significant benefits quickly. The whole US is also on a organic and certified move and so even farms and people like us who use growers are gearing that way. It helps with the problem of "some" big and well known distributors selling a "substitute" without telling the customer.

I also agree that if you are new it is good to consult with someone who has more knowledge and experience. The more powerful and effective a formula is, usually the more important it is to know the "rules" of it and stay within parameters.

We don't have any Jow recipes. Maybe we should get a copy of this formulary and explore them....

(I've sent a PM to Rodney but it seems it didn't get through
maybe a newbie can't send a PM... I don't know.)

I'm interested in this one of a kind book of external jow
formulas. However, I'd really like to know whether
the Ho Family (Mike Biggie's mod) recipe is in the book.

I practice wuzuquan (five ancestors fist) and banging
hands is part of my routines. I currently use commercial
jows to treat the bruises and swellings only to find that
they're almost non-effective, i.e. I can't get fully healed
in a week, so it only got worsen and worsen each week.

Lately I was exposed to Ho Family (Mike Biggie's mod) jow
that seems to get rave reviews from its users, everyone
vouch for this product. However, purchasing them in
bottles or in herb packs is not an option because I live
in South East Asia, the shipping would cost a lot and
the customs don't let this kind of stuff get in easily.

So, if the Ho Family formula is covered in the book
it would help me A LOT and I'd be forever grateful

Thanks a bunch,
Ray
