In Russia there is a very popular remedy that is harvested in the Tuva area
ajasent to Mongolia and is called "mumie". This is harvested from the
crevasses of rocks in high deserts. It looks like black tar and is used for
tissue and bone regeneration, among other things. It is also found in Egypt
and was described in many Arab medicinal texts of the early middle ages.
When I worked there as a geologist we would gather it during field work and
sell back home. That would at least triple our salaries.
I know it works because my wifes late grandmother broke her hip when she was
80 and after taking mumie her hip got healed faster than if she was 20 years
old. Recently is also helped my friends daugher who has very complex knee
surgery. But it is not 100% safe, because if a person has undiscovered
cancer, mumuie can accelerate its growth.
This mumie is actually fermented excrements of a small mouse that lives in
teh rock crevasses and is known to be complete vegetarian. It also has a
funny custom to releave itself in teh same location over its lifetime. I
still have about 100g of it in my fridge here in the US twenty years later.
So poo-poo puerh is not THAT unusual.

As long as I love it, who cares? Remember that droppings of some insectes
that are cultivated on puerh are called Poo-poo puerh. I6ts about
$1,000/lb
and some people worship it.

For an interesting picture of Poo Poo Puer check out
http://www.teahub.com/jingchang.htm and look for the picture that
refers to Long Zhu. This is actually a natural, not cultivated, string
of insect excrement AKA Poo Poo Puer. I do have it on good authority
though that this insect excrement is cultivated now and available for
much less that $1000. See http://www.pu-erh.net/review-poopoopuer.html
for my personal review of Poo Poo puer and see
http://www.pu-erh.net/poopoopuerh.html for a much more detailed
description.


Now, is THIS tea, or just moth s**t?
