Forum Question Posted By: Replies:
Beijing Are you coming from China / HK to San Francisco? I need your help!
Posted: Wed March 12, 2008 11:18 PM UTC
I am desperately trying to purchase Berberine Hydrochloride which apparently is available cheaply everywhere in China but nowhere in the U.S.
It is an OTC herbal medicine for treating intestinal parasites and and other intestinal problems.
If you are coming to the San Francisco Area any time soon and are willing to bring over this medicine, I would be very grateful and of course repay you.
Please pm or e-mail:
alpinegroove (at) peacetour (dot) com
I hope you are out there.

Here is an image of what I am looking for:

It does not have to be by this manufacturer.

May I suggest that you ensure that this remedy is legal in the US before you ask anyone to bring it in for you.

I did what I could to check. The herbs containing Berberine (ie. Huang Lain Su, Goldenthread, Goldenseal) are completely legal in the U.S. and readily available.
Berberine Hydrochloride is an extraction from the herbs mentioned above.
The herbs are available in the U.S. The extraction, which is what I need, is not.
