I'm going to try to say this in the most simple terms possible...
CHINESE RAW HORMONE FACTORIES ARE UNDER DAILY INSPECTIONS AND THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT HAS MADE IT ILLEGAL UNDER CHINESE LAW TO SHIP THESE HORMONES OUT OF THE COUNTRY. CHINESE SOURCES ARE DISAPPEARING WITH PEOPLES MONEY AND NOT REPLYING TO EMAILS, OR SAYING THEY REFUSE TO DO BUSINESS RIGHT NOW.
The reason prices are going up is NOT because we are in hysterics, it is because they (sources) don't know when they will get more powder so they are charging more for what they have left.
I am hopeful that soon these daily inspections will stop and SOME of these sources will risk their freedom to supply what we need, but prices will never be the same, not til well after the olympics. As for those who believe that powders will pop up in another country...why haven't they yet? There are other hormone producing facilities in the world, yet china is where it's all coming from, despite what one unsubstantiated claim says.
