Re: not answering my posts
I have noticed that some of your posts are lengthy, maybe the request got buried. But, you also need to realize that Charlie is NOT required to give you his sources info. Like candida wrote, that is a private email request to Charlie. If you bother to look at the post reply that you are referencing, though Charlie told the person he would share the info, he did NOT post it on the forum. Charlie has shared the information with people who are his customers. If you are not one of his custom tonic customers, then you may not qualify as entitled to know the information.
There are a number of excellent herb supply companies in the US. The company Charlie uses doesn't have the market on quality herbs. In fact, depending on what the herb is that I am ordering, sometimes dictates which company I order from!
Take the previous posters suggestion and do some of your own research. It can be as simple as inquiring at your local health food store as to which bulk herb company they have found to have the best quality of herbs.
