1) spammers should be sent to jail with guys who have "enlarged penis",
take "viagra soft tabs" and "are looking for rough sex".

2) jiaogulan has a quite special taste (mainly aftertaste); not many
people in the west would like it I think.

3) like most chinese herbals it costs vitually nothing; less than 1USD
for 100g.

Green Frog's reference says the only major side effect seems to be
nausea, except it might kill the pre-born. Toci

No offense Neyma, but I can assure you that no one here is interested,
nor into the same thing you are. You may have more success in another
newsgroup. We've seen your posts before, we understand what you are
about, and it is not a real close "fit" with what is discussed here.
Thanks.

Back, for a moment, to jiaogulan:

It can be beneficial for some things, but only if used appropriately.
There are also some indications that long-term use may be problematic.

I'll reiterate some of what I said on another thread in reference to ku
ding cha:

Just a note on the "health benefits" of ku ding [or, in this case,
jiaogulan]: like any Chinese
medicinal, it's good for you if you need it--that is, if your
constitution and/or medical condition make it appropriate for you.
Very few things are considered to have health benefits all the time;
this is part of the yin-yang aspect of TCM. [If you have an
appropriate condition it'll help; if you have a different condition
than would benefit from jiaogulan's properties, it could wind up making
you sicker.] Western alternative health maestros like Andrew Weil
seem to enjoy making universal prescriptions (everyone should drink
green tea, everyone should take selenium, everyone should eat broccoli,

whatever...). This, however, is generally not done in TCM--it's a bit
more subtle than that.

Hope that helps.

Mike
