If you do a search of jiaogulan on google.com you'll come up with over 1900 websites on the herb. If you do a search on Medline (PubMed), which lists medical and scientific research studies from around the world, you'll find dozens of studies on jiaogulan. Come out from under your rock, Harold. There's a big world out here. But be careful not to get run over by the trucks of knowledge.

Right on Michael! After taking the herb myself and feeling the results, giving the herb to my mother in law who raves about it, as well as reading all the testimonials of people who have felt the benefit of drinking the tea a similar question is in me "why is it not on all chemist and health food shelves?" I suppose there are too many "cry wolves" out there to take anything serious. Want more proof - read the testimonial of a cancer surviver on http://www.jiaogulan.net

I have been drinking Jiaogulan Tea everyday for the past 6 months. I have suffered from a repeated broken toe and ankle twists because I like to run on mountain trails. Yesterday I badly twisted my ankle while running downhill. Later, I slammed my toe into a hidden step when I went to a garden restaurant. When I got out of bed today, I notice both my ankle AND my toe felt as good as new. Usually, it would take weeks for both conditions to clear. I feel like Jiaogulan is responsible for promoting quick healing in my body.

Are you kidding me? I wish more people would drink this tea. My sister discovered it while surfing the net one day. And also my mother's doctor told my sister to check into this tea. It has only been less than 6 months since my mother started drinking this tea and oh my God, she has improved. She prepares her own meals now, she takes walks on her own, she is able to walk up 6 floors everyday. They live on the 6th floor. She does total gym. She just turned 67 New Years Day and I must tell you, life is good. One year ago, it was devastating. She was diagnosed with Parkinsons a year ago. Let me tell you about a miracle. AMEN!

I have used it for approx 6 months so far and have noticed no difference yet. It does not really do anything for me unlike the others. I believe it may be a weak diuretic. Good luck in your search.
