I got a recipe from an older Chinese lady I use all the time. I just boil some water and make a tea- Go Ji berries-or wolf berries, dried red dates, chrysanthemums. Use about 14 berries, 5 or 6 dates and 4 or 5 flowers. I throw in green tea with it sometimes. You can find this stuff anywhere. Great concoction for detox, liver cleansing and blood cleansing. I have been using it for years-makes a difference. In USA people are eating goji berries by the handful and you can eat them as a snack or on a salad. They have all the essential amino acids, proteins, and vitamins. You can live off them I think. The wolves do in Winter=hence the name.

Is this still on? I am interested and will actually show up.

Thanks tiger tiger and to dazzer-morphine is natural too along with tobacco, marijuana, and mosquitoes carrying dengue fever. Natural does not necessarily mean good and MSG is a chemical compound not found in nature. I am old enough to have been raised with a can of Crisco on the stove to hold the oil we used over and over. Crisco was considered safe, natural and good for you. People were dropping from heart attacks like flies but Crisco held on just like MSG is doing now. I have been told by Chinese people that MSG was good for you and I was wrong for saying it was poison!?!? I cook at home as much as possible even though it a lot of trouble with all that chopping but even then you cannot get away from it. There are many good things about Chinese cooking and traditional Chinese medicine that unfortunately within a generation won't help a bit with getting rid of the poisons being dumped into the foods. I think most average Chinese meals have more oil and calories and salt than a double cheese burger at Mickey d's-it is really too bad.

Thanks for all the information. I have been chronically ill since I have been in China, have had severe memory and sleep problems, had had stiff limbs, have had swollen feet and dry thirsty mouth. Every time I ate at a Chinese restaurant in the USA I had these same symptoms and now it is impossible to get away from them. Eating too much salt, too much oil-and dirty oil at that is very bad for you. Chinese people clean out their systems by drinking lots of green tea but that doesn't erase the problem. MSG is poison!! It is extremely frustrating not to be able to be given a choice.

I just left BOC where they told me that foreigners were no longer allowed to buy USD in China and I could not transfer 500 usd into my BOA account. Does anyone know anything?????
