* Do not be fooled by martial art sites that
want to sell you just the "package" of herbs or merely the pre-made jows
in liquid, without divulging each and every separate ingredient in the
formula. Each "package" should contain a list of each ingredient's Mandarin
/ Pin Yin name as well as Pharmaceutical name, plus the weight of each
ingredient!
Not only is it the law to do so, you deserve this
information so that you can tell your Western and Eastern doctors of exact
ingredients and measures. This is so that contraindications and side effects
can be studied as well. Remember, we pass these ancient herbal lists on
to you for historical purposes and do not recommend that you need to try
them. It is merely a glimpse of the past for us martial artists to gain
somewhat of an understanding as to why the monks may have thought a certain
formula was beneficial for a certain thing. Also, any ingredient that is
now illegal or impossible to get, needs to be substituted by a safe ingredient
by a licensed Chinese herbalist.
Again, do not waste your time and money getting
formulas that are not completely broken down. Check out my almost 60 international
major martial art magazine feature articles on herbs going back to 1986,
when I was a columnist for "Chinese Traditions" in Karate/Kung Fu Illustrated!
I was the first to share Five Elder formulas with the mainstream public.
My vast personal collection of priceless formulas prepared and in the original
monk's writing were displayed for the world to see in my 7 tape Panther
Dim Mak series! I was the first person world wide to author a book in the
Library of Congress entitled "Authentic Five Elder Martial Arts Formulas."
My co-author was Zev Rosenberg who is head of the herb department at San
Diego's well known Pacific College Of Chinese Medicine. Zev is also an
accomplished acupuncturist. The book sold out immediately with Ryukyu Distributor/Publishers. They are the largest martial book source in America. We have recently revamped
this book and soon it will be in second print available world wide. Eight
"other" of my best selling martial arts books have also sold out and are
in the process of being revamped.
For those of you interested, Lohon Williams and
Lohon Keen are helping me to compile the world's largest full color Chinese
herbal Materia Medica ever produced. We will list 1500 separate ingredients.
Each ingredient will be broken down and indexed. We are in the process
of breaking down and putting into a series of books, over 1000 classical
five elder formulas passed down to me. Actually I have three or four times
that many when you count the variations, but for now my goal is to let
out the biggest materia medica in full color and at least 25 formulas completely
broken down in full color per book.
I have been studying herbs since 1965! It is a
fascinating subject, but beware of buying packaged formulas without a guarantee
of full breakdowns with weights!
Sincerely, Jung Shee James Patrick Lacy.
This way with a good Materia Medica and eventually
access to a wholesale herbal supply store, in the future, once you know
these well enough, you can order the ingredients in bulk and weight the
