I don't know; it was my friend who studied extensively with Ron, not me. But I do know that *none* of the herbs he prescribes ever come from anywhere but the valleys in China he knows about, and was taught about by his teachers. He once advised me that the ginseng he's tested from America wouldn't even be allowed to be sold in China. Then again, he was the one making the profits from the herbs he went to China to collect, so his point of view may have been slightly colored by that. His customers include rock stars and movie stars and the like, who have no trouble paying his prices. The Stones won't go on tour without a set of his specially-brewed teas for every member of the band and the crew. They have learned from sad experience that if even one member of the crew gets sick while on tour, it can jeapordize a show. No one has gotten even a cold since they've been drinking the teas. Mel Gibson ordered a special yang tea for all of the extras in the battle scenes in "Braveheart," because he wanted a certain level of ferocity in the Scot warriors. He was happy with the results. I was once visiting my friend at Ron's and he had just finished brewing up Billy Idol's special tea. He had some left over, so he gave it to me to drink. I basically had a hardon for a week. Billy pays a great deal more for his tea than I could ever afford, but I guess it's worth it to him if it allows him to...uh...keep it up on stage. ------------------------ Yahoo!
