Cured fo-ti (zhiheshouwu) is a key ingredient in our PhytoChi, one of several supplement products I have formulated which is still on the market, now only manufactured by Phyto CZ, s.r.o. in the Czech Republic. It is sold/distributed worldwide. All the other PhytoChi, using the brand name “EarthPower” stolen from me, are fake.
At the start, PhytoChi was manufactured by Phyto-Tech and marketed by Earth Power, both companies owned by my family. Then, our Earth Power brand was stolen from us and PhytoChi was marketed under the EarthPower brand by companies without our permission. Yet, they didn’t even have our formula nor the sources of the ingredients! Not long after, we gave PhytoCZ the exclusive rights to manufacture PhytoChi in the Czech Republic under my guidance and market it worldwide. Hence, PhytoChi has been on the market for over 20 years now and is still going. So, only the PhytoChi originating from PhytoCZ is the genuine product! I have been watching the treatment of Cured fo-ti (zhiheshouwu) by the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (ChP) since the late 2000s. If I notice anything unusual resulting from this change, I’ll let you know.
From now on, I will concentrate on drug therapy with synthetic drugs vs. therapy with natural traditional medicines because I believe these two kinds of therapies are the answer to our future that soon would be overwhelmed by synthetics and the vicious cycle they cause. These chemicals have lots of deficient qualities that can only be complemented with the experience and accumulated wisdom of natural medicines.
