Dit Da Jow + Other Internal & External Concoctions

[ab12]

Hi all,

I have recently been looking at getting herb packs for Dit Da Jow. Here in the UK its very difficult to fill any of the available formulas written on the internet or in books. Many herbs are not available here.

I was wondering if the TCM pros could help a bit here.

Is it as simple as looking up the ingredients of a Dit Da Jow formula in a materia medica and finding alternative ingredients that you can source?

also does anyone know of a materia medica which has chinese herbs & western equivalents

Have seen josh's but not sure if that has the western equivalent herbs (not just names)

if not

Does anyone know of anywhere in the UK i can obtain herb packs? as for instance looking at dale or josh's website, while they are worth every penny. as soon as you add shipping to the uk (normally $45+) and then add the cost of the alcohol here in the uk (usually needing about $100 (£60) worth . it gets costly!!


Have any of the USA based (josh + Dale and others) considered supplying UK in a vast quantity, or considered having a reseller here?


thanks guys

A great source of Authentic Dit Da Jow and Iron Palm herb kits, is at
eastmeetswest.com, I believe they ship all over. They alsosell internal Dit Da Jow which is pretty cool.

I heard there are different kinds of Dit Da Jow depending on what you need. Is there a standard Dit Da Jow for the injures fighters usually have, or is there a specific kind for each kind of injury, for example dislocated shoulder?

What kind of alcohol are you using, jeez.

If you take what other sellers charge for a 2 ounce bottle of jow, usually 10-18.00 do some simple math to see how these sellers are ripping you off.

128 ounces in a gallon. That means you need to purchase 64 two ounce bottles to have a gallon of a specific formula.

64x15.00 = 964.00 which is HUGE money. This does not even include shipping.

I gave up selling anything other than 8 ounce bottles so for a gallon of dit da jow that would be 16x40.00=640.00 for the same gallon if you bought individual bottles, again minus shipping fees.

I sell gallons of premade Dit Da Jow formulations for Iron Palm or Injuries for 199.00 which includes shipping within the USA. I make official school liniments and do not sell formulas as most other suppliers out there. Unfortunatley I cannot ship premade gallons internationally. The shipping fees would be astronomical as the container in its heavy duty Hazmat cardboard shipping container weighs 10 pounds.

Now compare the cost of buying premade over what you would have to spend with me and what I offer. The cost of the herbs from me averages from 45-108.00 to make one-3 gallon formulas of most of the well known and closed door formulas on the open market.

So it would be 45-108.00 + 45.00(shipping)+ 100.00(booze)= average of $200.00 to 300.00 or slightly more to make a gallon or more, again depending on the formula you purchase from me.

This is still INCREDIBLY less than if you bought single bottles to come up with a gallon from myself or other suppliers.

It is still cheaper to buy herbs from me and make your own.

Remember you can make 3 gallons and then sell 8 ounce bottles for 30.00 to 40.00 a bottle to your students or friends, patients and not only recoup your initial investment, you can make some money selling strong medicine, not some of the watered down commercial jow you see on the market.

Let me know how I can be of service. I will always beat other suppliers prices. I also get better deals on herbs as I am a licensed Acupuncturist and Herbalist. Some companies do not sell their high quality herbs to unlicensed people.

so Caveat Emptor but remember I am here to be of service to those seeking great formulas for the best prices.

Have we spoken on the phone already? I used to supply a few stores and schools in the UK, but its much better for everyone involved to just buy 10 or 20 herb packs at a time and make them up yourself. More cost effective all the way around. Shipping 100 bottles overseas is just a ridiculous mess.

I will always beat other suppliers prices.

I almost never choose to beat other suppliers prices. Neither does Porsche or Ferrari...

Josh,

Let's be honest.

You are not what you claim you are.

Does not matter what you charge as you are misleading people into thinking you are something that you most definitely not.

I have heard from many people that they assumed you were a licensed herbalist from all the advice you gave them on various herbs and internal formulas.

My advice would be to stop pretending to be a licensed herbalist and stop giving out medical advice.

[PlumDragon]

And just what do you think I claim to be??

I never claimed, here or anywhere else, to have any kind of licensure in any kind of medical field. I never claimed to practice any kind of medicine, provide diagnosis or give medical recommendations. Period. And I definitely have no desire to. Ive never misled anyone into thinking otherwise, nor do I have any reason to. Im proud of the fact that I didnt have to get a degree in TCM to build what I have. Its a selling point, in fact.

Maybe I should have expected this from a competitor after the Porsche jab...But I didnt expect it from someone that I used to have long friendly conversations with over the phone in years past. Maybe you should have contacted me about something if you had an issue with it or if something seemed awry. But whatever; its much easier to draw convenient conclusions. You ever want to clear **** up, you know how to get a hold of me...
