Herbs: Safe and Powerful
SAFETY OF HERBS USED IN FORMULAS
I use herb concentrates produced by two companies in Taiwan. Both companies have GMP certification from Taiwan and Australia. Both companies sell herbs to Europe where strict standards for exclusion of pesticides is in effect. In addition, each batch of herb concentrates is tested for molds, bacteria and heavy metals The technology used includes: Gas Chromatography (GS), Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC and HPTLC), High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) and UV-Visible Spectrophotometry (UV/Vis). Testing by certified independent laboratories includes Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-M/S) and Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS). In this way, safety, potency and consistency are maintained. Encapsulation is performed at the company facilities.
HOW HERBS CAN BE POWERFUL
Herbs can stop the progression of disease at an early stage! One of the first signs of aging is drying of tissues. That’s how we get wrinkles. Stress especially dries tissues.
Herbs for “yin”/fluids reverse drying of tissues and heal inflammation. Inflammation has recently been understood by researchers to be the precursor of most serious disease.
When you treat dehydration/inflammation with herbs, you prevent the development of more serious conditions.
6 STAGES OF DISEASE PROGRESSION:
1) Mild symptoms - the body has enough yin/fluids to heal
2) Inflammation symptoms - the body lacks enough yin/fluids to heal
3) Toxins & debris unable to exit, trapped outside cells in tissues
4) Invasion of cells with toxins or debris: mitochondrial dysfunction
5) Degeneration starts with mitochondria and cells being destroyed
6) Cellular DNA damage progresses to cancer
Note: mitochondria make all the ATP (energy) used inside cells
EXAMPLES OF THE 6 STAGES OF DISEASE PROGRESSION:
1) Mild symptoms are: coughing, sneezing, eyes tearing, joint pains, difficult to concentrate.
If you have enough fluids to act as a carrier to excrete the irritation, toxin, debris, virus or bacteria that caused these symptoms, you become healthy.
2) Inflammation symptoms include: dry skin, dry eyes, hotflashes, sluggish bowel, acne, sinusitis, acute bronchitis, heart burn, urinary tract infection, thyroiditis, acute infections, hyper-reactive immune system (allergies & sensitivities).
These symptoms all share the cause of yin/fluids deficiency. Yin/fluids are not abundant enough in the body to carry away the irritants, clear the pathogen through the lymphatic system, or to heal the inflammation of drying tissues.
Yin herbs can supply the fluids and the yin “sponge” to retain those fluids in our bodies.
If yin/fluids are not added to this body, these symptoms may progress.
3) Storage of waste unable to leave the body can result in symptoms like: cellulite, nasal polyps, plaque in arteries, gout, intestinal polyps/cysts, gall bladder or kidney stones, chronic weight gain.
These symptoms are reversible using herbs and other methods.
4) Invasion of cells with toxins or debris: mitochondrial dysfunction are associated with symptoms like: fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, adrenal exhaustion, migraines, recurrent vaginal inflammation or urinary tract infections, chronic bronchitis, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high blood sugar, autoimmune reactions, menopausal symptoms, thyroid: hypo- or hyper-, coronary heart disease.
***IN GENERAL, THIS IS THE STAGE WHERE BLOOD TESTS TELL YOU THERE IS A PROBLEM.***
These symptoms are reversible using herbs and other methods.
5) Degeneration-mitochondria and cells are being destroyed. The associated diseases are: scleroderma, Alzheimer’s, macular degeneration, osteoarthritis, COPD, congestive heart failure, diabetes.
There is good response to herbs and other methods if the person still has enough energy to carry out the healing process.
6) Cellular DNA damage leading to cancer
There is good response to herbs and other methods if the person still has enough energy to carry out the healing process.
You can see that detecting YIN/FLUIDS DEFICIENCY & INFLAMMATION gives you a way to take care and treat the body before the body is more progressed in the disease process. Chinese medicine has a system that has stood the test of time and is very detailed. If you want to age in good health, find out more about this system.
