Singapore, Feb 01, 2012: China Health Resource, engaged in the development, manufacturing, processing, marketing and sale of raw and pharmaceutical TCM products, has announced that world renowned Traditional Chinese Medicine expert, Professor Liang Li, has been engaged to lead the Company's Gastrodia Deep Processing Research. The research initiative is focused on optimizing yields from raw Gastrodia and to find new potential uses of Gastrodia using deep processing.

Professor Liang Li, 73, is currently a member of the State Modernization of Chinese Medicine Technology Industry (Sichuan) Base Expert Committee. He is also Professor Director of the Institute of Chinese Medicine in Mianyang City. Professor Li is currently employed by Tailing Bio Technology Co., Ltd as technology director; Chief Editor of "National TCM Herbal GAP Guide." He participated in the world's traditional medicine event in Las Vegas, USA (Vitality Cup) and received the Gold award for best paper. His current focus is now in "Modernization of Chinese traditional medicine research and industrial development" and "Sichuan TCM origin Gastrodia planting standardized research" projects. He prepared the "Gastrodia ('TianMa') standardized planting procedure" (GAP).

"We are very excited at having Professor Liang Li lead our Gastrodia research. He is a highly accomplished and well known scientist in TCM," stated Jiayin Wang, Chairman and CEO of CHRI. "Gastrodia is known by name by many but little scientific research has been devoted to it. Professor Li is one of the few experts worldwide in Gastrodia. Gastrodia has not received the level of research it deserves and we intend to take advantage of this opportunity. It is undervalued as a healthcare component and CHRI is planning to capitalize on this fact just as we did by creating a franchise in GAP DAR before others and making us a recognized leader in DAR," added Mr Wang.
