Okay, great. Thanks a lot. I was planning to go to get my neck Xrayed as well. My ankle is much better, now. But I think the neck needs to be done.
If you ever get any made up i'd really like to try yours, if possible. I'd pay for the materials, etc.
Thanks a lot!

What is wrong with your neck? Same pain as before? or an injury that is new?
Those that are the most sucessful are also the biggest failures. The difference between them and the rest of the failures is they keep getting up over and over again, until they finally succeed.

I was going to come by class yesterday, but I was too bogged down with work to do so.
Hopefully things are beter now.

It's just a chronic pain on my left side and when I turn it to a certain extent it sends a sharp pain.
I feel like it's slowly getting better, because i've recently started practicing good kung fu - but not sure. I plan on meeting a specialist soon.

It could be a slight dislocation from an injury. I got mine from training. There was abt 1mm dislocation at the 7th vetebrate. Specialist told me I need physio & surgery. I got a good chinese ditDar & fix it back in a week. It have been 2 years. There is no repercussions.. C-T Scan has reveal my problem where X-ray had failed. I believe get a scan then search for a good DitDar.
Let me know how u going.

Dependant on the specific formula there are some dit da cho that require no cooking. Southern Mantis Cho is merely herbs soaked for a few months in vinegar.
In hakka:
da yok jiew = wine
da yok cho = vinegar
da yok yow = oil
In our tradition we use cho and jiew. They are slightly different in purpose. I also know a bak mei guy who uses cho (made with such things as a rusty bolt and scorpions!).

Why not make the alcohal yourself? I bet you can get 40% far cheaper by making it, than buying it.

Base for Jow
Hi,
Other than off the shelf bottled spirits, can anyone recommend an alternative base in which I can use for my Dit Da Jow? Can I use 50% ethanol and 50% water? Is there a better alternative?
The tax on spirits here in NZ is pretty high. The cheapest I can find for one Gallon (3.7 l) of Vodka is NZ$130.
BTW am following the formula in Tooth from a Tigers Mouth.
Any help appreciated.
Many thanks,
David

You can try fermenting rice to make rice wine, then freezing out the water
to up the alcohol percentage. It takes some time but it will probably be
very inexpensive.
I believe there was a thread/discussion on this subject over a year ago.
Try searching the archives, or 'Google search" .
Hope this helps

Yeah, that's a tough one... indeed, as OTD has pointed out, a search of the forum will certainly return many threads where this issue has been discussed... even outright argued about. I believe it was PlumDragon who uses the rice wine freeze technique with good results. Seems like a lot of hassle to me, though. Although that's how you'd have to do it if no cheap vodka was available.
You may have different taxes for pure lab-grade ethanol. Try calling some chemistry supply houses to see what they can offer you. Though you might have to buy a 55 gallon drum of it 
Outside of distilling your own or using isopropyl alcohol (not recommended) you can always try using vinegar. Do a thread search for that one, too... much debated but worth a try. The properties of the formula will likely be modified as a result of vinegar base, therefore I suggest you modify the ingredients to reflect the warm, astringent nature of the vinegar (also depends on which type you use). Avoid white vinegar straight, I'd say... the acidity is just plain too high.
good luck

Herb Ox and OTD,
Thanks both for your advice. I like the idea of the Brewing my own Rice Wine......apparently it can stink pretty bad I hear so will have to get wife approval first
Some great tips too...cheers for pointing me in the right direction...saved me a lot of time.
