While i am fairly earnestly pursuing Spring Forest, this is one of the things that puts me off considerably - along with some of the Feng Shui discussions.. How could this concoction possibly do anything but hydrate a person. It sounds like simplistic new age mumbo jumbo. I believe Chunyi Lin is a very sincere and skilled person, but this stuff makes me wonder if his success isn't due mostly to his perserverance and dedication t rather this supposedly unique and powerful system that he has developed. Just my own thoughts....Harry
