Stephan says he is qualified to write Dr. Gourd because:  I have done more with bitter melon than anyone, anywhere,   anytime in history. I have planted it, grown it, harvested it,   cooked it, eaten it, and drunk it. I have bought it, and I have  sold it. I have dyed clothes with it. I have imported it from  four countries, and exported it to seven countries. I have  shipped it to all 50 states. I have given it away, and I ve had  it ripped off. I made bitter melon spaghetti. I have prepared  topical compresses from bitter melon leaves, and applied them   to skin eruptions.   I have read a thousand scientific reports on bitter melon. I ve   made Christmas ornaments from it. I have extracted it,   encapsulated it, juiced it. I have used it clinically, and I ve  used it at home. I have loaded trucks with tons of it. I found  romance through it. I have photographed it in the wild, and   photographed it in studio. I have talked about it on radio shows and podcasts. I love bitter melon!
