Mr Bowe and Dong Quai

We have made every attempt to contact Mr Bowe but no response has been forthcoming. Last weekend it was discovered that Mr Bowe had set up yet another blog this time purporting to be the work of our web consultant; Mr Chris Farmer.

As we are unable to contact Mr Bowe directly our only option is to demonstrate publicly the true facts about Mr Bowe.

A recent posting by Mr Bowe on one of his numerous blogs stated that:-

"This is what Tibetan Way claim:

"The primary botanical in Woman’s Choice is Dong Quai (Angelica sinensis), used in traditional Tibetan medicine for thousands of years."
.........
I approached the Tibetan Medical and Astrology Institute of HH the Dalai Lama, who are the premier and authoritive source of knowledge and training in Tibetan medicine. I provided them with the recognised herbal description, botanical name and images of Dong Quai and enquired if this herb was featured in traditional Tibetan medicine. The response was clear, their Director stated that, "this herb is not commonly used in traditional Tibetan Medicine"."

That simply isn't true; what the office of the Dalai Lama actually says is:-

"Some medicinal plants of the Tibetan Plateau, which are widely used in allopathic, homeopathic, Tibetan and Chinese medicines are; ......... Angelica sinensis,"

If you visit http://www2.bremen.de/info/nepal/Gallery-3/Medical/8-26/Medic26-8.htm you will see an image of 9 medicinal herbs. Clicking on the white herb fourth from left in the top row will take you to a description of Angelica including the Tibetan name for this plant. The image is taken from a Tibetan medical Thangka based on original 17th Century paintings.

We realised some weeks ago that Mr Bowe has serious issues with separating fact from fiction and with the truth but to involve the name of the Dalai Lama in his falsehoods really is beneath contempt.
