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

1. Yes i agree, people that would come into a tea forum and advertise
something like viarga are clearly wasting everybodies time, becuase
people that read a tea forum are intrested in reading about tea. keep
in mind that jiaogulan is in fact a tea.

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


people say that the taste of jiaogulan is 'slighty sweet and a little
bitter'

it has been used as a natural sweeter and suger alternative to suger in
japan. the taste is very middle ground and most people will enjoy it.
You are probably reffering to the 'Chinese Jiaogulan' which in fact
can be a bit bitter and not so nice to drink. We provide the softer
Thai grown Jiaogulan, which has a slight sweetness and is pleasureable
to drink

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


Well let me put it this way. If you went to Bejing and wanted to buy a
bowl of duck soup from little resturant how much would that cost you?
Probably under a dollar. However if you went to San Francisco and
wanted to order that same bowl of duck soup, how much would that cost
you?

got my point?

and btw even in Thailand where we grow and distribute the Jiaogualn, it
is not cheap and the price of it is on par with the most expensive
ginseng and oolong teas.

Hope that clarfies things Kevin and I encourage you to try our
Jiaogulan, it is quite different than anything you have ever tried.

Best regards

ha intresteing - well since we are on a morouse trip let me also remind
you that the 'offical' side effects of our beloved green tea are the
same and worse and including

"People with heart problems, kidney disorders, stomach ulcers, and
psychological disorders (particularly anxiety) should not take green
tea. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should also avoid green tea."

not to even get into the side effects of caffinee of which Jiaogulan
has none

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
