Jake Paul Fratkin, DOM, Dipl.Ac., author and educator. Dr. Fratkin is the author of Chinese Herbal Patent Medicines: The Clinical Desk Reference, THE resource on this topic. This book includes any Chinese Patent Medicine sold in the U.S., which he has tested for ingredients and impurities. Dr. Fratkin is also an excellent educator who integrates Functional Medicine in his practice and teachings. I learned tincture-making primarily through his teachings years ago (but he now uses a different and less inventory-intensive process).
