Was at my local hangout last night when I spotted 2 bottles on the lowest shelf .

Well I never . Thought they'd stopped bringing them in already . Been using this product very infrequently ( the effect is still as good ! ) , for the past ten years or more but of late , one can only find it sold at inflated prices in organic stores .

" Any more stock ? If you have some more , I'd like a few more bottles please "

The sweet young Malay girl informs me that these are really the last 2 on the shelf .

" I haven't seen this brand in your store for at least 2 years already . Thought your company had stopped selling it "

What she told me next made my jaw drop .

" This product comes in limited batches and it's so hot , some customers even prebook a carton at each time "

Wow. Imagine that .

When I bought my first bottle , it cost around MYR 17 plus for the largest . 

Today , I coughed up MYR 28 plus for just one large bottle at this store . That's still cheaper than Bentong ginger vinegar which goes for around MYR 50 to MYR 70 per soy sauce sized bottle . If that is not blatant profiteering , I don't know what it is then . Oh yeah , it's bullshit harping on our insecurity with our health in general .

See , my people have a funny mindset . The more expensive a food ingredient is , the better they think it is  . But then again , we have one of the most unscrupulous traders in the world who will not bat an eyelid when they tamper with the goods , dilute them with fakes , heck , even sell you a completely fake product , and yet have the gall to blame it on the source country . Don't you ever believe them . 

So no thanks , not taking any chances . Sticking to my regular and only supplier for the past 10 years thank you .

Curious , I started checking .

Online stores are selling it for MYR 3 to MYR 5 more . Organic shops ....tell you what , I don't even want to know . Some are just profiteers of the highest degree . Others are pure bs ( when you contract something incurable due to the illegal substances used to prolong the shelf life and authenticate the flavour , it will be too late ) . Of course , there are reputable operators I am sure , but since I can never tell the difference , avoid avoid avoid at all cost .  

Anyway , I only use this for times when I've got the flu . First 3 years of consumption, all it did was stop the sniffles and help me cure faster . Prolonged usage builds up our defense system . 

If I used to get flu every month , and get infected everytime someone so much as sneezed , now , I can tell you I have developed a certain immunity .

I do get flu of course , but I would put it at less than 4 times a year and that's a huge difference for someone like me who used to be so prone to it .

It has other uses , of which I never apply . This works for me , takes time though . 

Why am I telling you all this ?

Because you're here because you either believe me or find me unbelievable . Either way , I make you think about things because you know I'm doing this for free and you also find that unbelievable as well . Well , believe it . 

Plus , I only recommend or show you things which I like , use and purchase and I think you like that don't you  ?
