Good news for the true modernization of Chinese herbal medicine! (News from the European Patent Office)

For decades I have advocated and worked towards proper standards for traditional herbal medicines.  These efforts and disruptive concepts/technologies are described in my books.

Now, 10 years after our patent application, “System and Method for Assessing Traditional Medicines” was submitted detailing our Phyto-True System, a European patent (EP 2 185 167 B1) was finally granted, published on July 4, 2018, EPO Bulletin 2018/27. The key part of our Phyto-True system patented is the Representative Botanical Reference Materials (RBRM) aka Phyto-True Reference Materials (PTRM).  These are the basic herbal standards required for properly investigating traditional medicines, especially Chinese herbs.  Without them, traditional medicines cannot be evaluated properly, yielding irreproducible results and hence controversies whenever herbal medicines are studied using misapplied technologies specifically developed for chemical drugs.

I thank my co-inventor Greg Pennyroyal and my former technical team at Phyto-Technologies, Inc. (including Darin Smith, Heather Conway, Shannon Ehlers, David Hansen, and Pat Mettler) for their contribution.  This patent is a byproduct resulting from an SBIR grant for feverfew research from the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), now renamed National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), with me as Principal Investigator and Dennis Awang, PhD, as Co-Principal Investigator.

I also want to thank my associates, Jan Matyska and Vaclav Tomek of PhytoCZ of the Czech Republic for their faith in our technology and their perseverance in pursuing the patenting of this technology.

 

RBRM for initially a dozen Chinese herbs are available from:   www.chromadex.com

RBRM for more Chinese herbs will also be soon available from:             www.ichemtesting.com.

  1. Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification appeared to be
    on the internet the easiest thing to understand of.

  2. It’s the best time to make a few plans for the longer term and it’s time
    to be happy. I’ve learn this submit and if I could I wish to counsel you some fascinating things or advice.
    Maybe you can write next articles relating to this article.
    I desire to learn even more issues about it! Hey would you mind stating which
    blog platform you’re using? I’m looking to start
    my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time making
    a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs
    and I’m looking for something completely unique.

    P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
    I’ve been browsing online more than three hours today,
    but I never found any interesting article like yours. It is lovely worth enough for me.

    In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made just right content as you probably did, the internet shall be a lot more
    helpful than ever before. http://cspan.co.uk

    the layout on your weblog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it
    yourself? Either way keep up the excellent quality writing, it’s rare to see a nice blog like this one these days.

    1. Thanks so much, Jane, for your comment. I always do my own writing and I don’t engage any editors. I initially paid for the design of my blog and the first couple of posts. Then a colleague/associate has been helping me since. In a couple of more posts, I’ll be able to do it on my own. If you read my book “My Life & Rollercoaster Career,” you would probably know why it has taken me so long to respond to your comment. It is important for consumers of drugs or herbs to know about the vicious cycle of modern drugs. Hence, I put serious thought into everything I print and I stand behind it. This is no trivial matter. Just look at the financial and health problems these toxic drugs have been causing us. I believe it’s too late for my fellow seniors and our children’s generation. But it’s not too late for our grandchildren’s and theirs. Please help me spread the word. The drug companies and their interdependent associates (medical, insurance, political, etc.) are too entrenched in their self-income-generating vicious cycle to do anything different. I believe breaking this cycle has to start from the general population, people like you and me, without born entitlements but have experienced their travails, bottom up.

  4. I will right away grasp your rss as I can not find
    your e-mail subscription hyperlink or e-newsletter service.

  6. I could not resist commenting. Exceptionally well written! I’ve been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
    It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much
    more useful than ever before. Its such as you read my
    thoughts! You appear to grasp so much approximately
    this, such as you wrote the book in it or something.

    I believe that you could do with a few p.c. to pressure the message house a little bit, however other than that,
    that is wonderful blog. An excellent read. I will definitely be back.
