This potent formula supplies the body with a raw source of plant protein and nutrients essential for a healthy and fit lifestyle.  <br><br>
<b>Sprouts </b>offer the most bio-available nutrition of any food in the plant or animal kingdom. Our enzymatically active sprouts harness high-quality, complete proteins and nutrients utilized throughout the entire body. Abundant in vitamins, minerals and chlorophyl, sprouts ease the digestive system's workload and stimulate the body to function at superior levels. Sprouts also contain phytonutrients - essentially powerful antioxidants contributing to the body's energy, stamina, growth, and overall health. <br><br>
<b>Hemp </b>is a complete, highly-digestible, plant-based protein containing all the essential and non-essential amino acids. Amino acids serve as the building blocks of protein and are vital for muscle regeneration, the development of lean body tissue, and the continued health of bones, skin, hair, and nails. Hemp is also a primary source of essential fatty acids (EFAs), as well as dietary fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. <br><br>
<b>Goji Berries </b>are loaded with an impressive array of nutrients and phytochemicals, including all amino acids, minerals, EFAs, polysaccha- rides, monosaccharides, phenols, antioxidants, betacarotene, lutein, lycopene, and essential vitamins. <br><br>
<b>Lucuma </b>- popular for its sweet exotic flavor - is a tropical fruit native to regions of South America. Lucuma is known for especially high levels of beta-carotene, niacin, iron plus other vitamins and minerals. <br><br>
<b>Black Maca Root </b>grows high in the Andes Mountains in South America. Maca is highly regarded for its ability to increase stamina, endurance, energy and sexual function in both men and women. Maca is also a great source of proteins, EFAs,fibers, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, and minerals.
<br><br>
<b>Yacon Root</b> is a high-fiber, low- calorie vegetable native to the Andes, used as a non-gluten swee- tener and known for its sweet taste and nutritional value. Yacon root is considered the world's richest natural source of FOS (Fructo-oligosacch- arides). <br><br>

      <title>Aloe Ferox Powder, 100 Gram (160 Servings) - ImmunoLogic</title>

      <description><![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.therawfoodworld.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1005403"><img src="http://www.therawfoodworld.com/images/aloeferox.jpg" alt="Aloe Ferox Powder, 100 Gram (160 Servings) - ImmunoLogic" title=" Aloe Ferox Powder, 100 Gram (160 Servings) - ImmunoLogic " width="70" height="100" style="float: left; margin: 0px 8px 8px 0px;" /></a>Indigenous to the Cape in South Africa, Aloe Ferox contains over 130 biological active compounds including amino acids, minerals, vitamins, polysaccharides, glycoproteins, anthraquinones, enzymes, lignins, chlorophyll, saponins, sterols and other plant chemicals that strengthen and support all body systems.  Aloe Ferox is particularly known for its positive effect on the bowel, skin and immune function.  Consuming both the leaf and the bitter extract together, provides the “whole-plant” benefits of this spectacular plant.<br><br>

<li> Immune support
<li> Bowel cleansing
<li> Skin health
<li> Liver and gallbladder performance
<li> Natural multi-vitamin energy
<li> No dairy, yeast, corn, sugar, flavors  <br><br>

<b>*Simply nothing added.</b><br><br>

Aloe Ferox Leaf Powder is made with the whole leaf for spectacular immune support and bowel health.<br><br>

Aloe Ferox Leaf Powder makes an excellent tea to soothe your entire digestive tract and help keep you regular. Aloe Ferox Leaf Powder is prepared by harvesting the mature leaves and most of the Bitter sap is drained. The leaves are then hand washed and dried under the Cape sun before being milled to a fine powder. This nutrient dense whole-leaf powder easily dissolves in water for brewing exceptional tea. Separation of the Bitters from the leaf provides the extraordinary digestive tract soothing and immune specific benefits of the Aloe Ferox plant, with the ability to finely adjust the amount of Bitters you add to each cup of tea. Some people prefer more than just a pinch of Bitter in their Aloe Leaf tea and many people take increased amounts as they become familiar with the purgative properties of the Bitters.<br><br>

<a href="http://s867.photobucket.com/albums/ab237/rawworldservice/?action=view¤t=aloeferoxpic.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i867.photobucket.com/albums/ab237/rawworldservice/aloeferoxpic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br><br>

Different parts of the Aloe plant contain different concentrations of nutrients.  The Bitter sap layer found between the gel and skin of this miracle plant, contains high concentrations of aloin, a phyto nutrient that affords exceptional bowel cleansing in just one or two days of drinking one or two cups of tea per day.  The Bitters in Aloe Ferox is in no uncertain terms, very, very potent so a little goes a long way.  All you need is a pinch or two of the Bitter Extract powder to get the job done.  It is not only immune strengthening, but functions to cleanse the bowel, liver and gallbladder by helping bile production which is good for proper digestion and bowel elimination.  Since all the other key nutrients are found in the gel and skin of the Aloe leaf such as polysaccharides, amino acids and other compounds, comprehensive support for overall bowel function and elimination is best achieved by drinking the Aloe Leaf Tea with the Bitter Extract. This way you get the whole-body benefits of the true whole leaf.  People like this combination because they can customize their bowel cleansing needs by making small adjustments to the amount of Bitter Extract added to the Leaf Tea. <br><br>

<b><u>Aloe Ferox Nutrient Profile</u></b><br><br>

<b>Amino Acids</b> – Aloe Ferox contains 34 amino acids, including 7 of the 8 essential ones such as Alanine, Anserine, Arginine,
Aspartic Acid, Asparagine, Citrulline, Cystine, Ethanolamine, Glutamic Acid, Glutamine, Glycine, Histidine, Hydroxyproline, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Phosphoserine, Proline, Serine, Threonine, Tyrosine, Ureum, Valine, Methylhistidine, Amino butyric acid.<br><br>

Amino Acids are the building materials of the body needed for growth and repair. Amino acids are used to make hormones,
enzymes, antibodies and neurotransmitters.<br><br>

<b>Chlorophyll</b> – Nature’s way of protecting against radiation while helping to produce energy. The electron flow produced by chlorophyll pigments is used to shuttle H+ ions in the production of cellular ATP (cell energy). The body also uses Chlorophyll for blood purification and production of red blood cells in bone marrow.<br><br>

<b>Glycoproteins</b> serve diverse and essential roles in human physiology. Over the past decade, scientists and physicians around the
world have been studying the remarkable benefits of glyco-nutrients on human health especially in the immune system. Many of
the key molecules involved in the immune response such as immunoglobulins are glycoproteins. Glycoproteins have structural
functions and are a constituent of healthy cell walls and connective tissue such as collagen. Glycoproteins are also found in
gastrointestinal mucous secretions and are abundant in the blood plasma. Glycoproteins play an important part in hormone
function. The action of hormones depends on the initial binding of the hormone to a protein receptor molecule. This molecule is
a glycoprotein. Glycoproteins appear in nearly every biological process studied.<br><br>

<b>Glycosides</b> – Saponins, Phenols, Anthraquinones: Aloin, Aloeemodin,
Aloinoside A/B, 5-hydroxyaloin, Chrysophanol, Aloesin,
Aloe resin A/C, Iso-aloeresin A, Furoaloesone, Chrysophanic acid,
Cinnamic acid, Emodin, Coumarins and Resistannols all enable the
Aloe Ferox plant to be an extraordinary boost for the immune
system. Nutrients in the Aloe Ferox plant are well known for their
role in management of pain and inflammation.<br><br>

<b>Minerals</b> – Aloe Ferox contains Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus,
Potassium, Sulphur, Boron, Chromium, Cobalt, Copper, Iron,
Manganese, Nickel, Selenium, Strontium, Tin, Vanadium and Zinc.
All vitamins and enzymes require minerals for activity. All
physiological processes depend on the presence of minerals which
are commonly lacking in our food. Minerals in their organic state
(present in plant life), function more effectively in the body
compared to common dietary supplements that use non-live source
ingredients. Whole-body pH balance depends on minerals,
specifically in their live-source, enzyme form with naturally
occurring trace mineral activators.<br><br>

<b>Monosaccharides</b> – Rhamnose, Arabinos, Xylose, Mannose,
Galactose, Glucose are known to be of significant benefit in
immune support, inflammation and wound healing, used in the
production of cytokines, supports proper blood sugar metabolism
and joint tissue health.<br><br>

<b>Polysaccharides</b> – Arabinogalactans, rhamnogalacturonans,
glucomannoglycans, and hemicellusoses are used by the body to
support immune processes, blood sugar metabolism and heart
health. Polysaccharides also function as pre-biotics in the digestive
tract promoting a healthy gut ecology.<br><br>

<b>Sterols</b> – Sitosterol, Cholesterol, Lupeol naturally
occurring plant sterols, have a long history of
research documenting both safety and efficacy in
promoting heart health by positively affecting
cholesterol.<br><br>

<b>Fiber</b> – <u>Insoluble Fiber:</u> Cellulose and Lignins
promotes stool bulk, peristalsis, improved defense
against immune challenges to the digestive tract,
soothes the mucous membrane of the bowel.
<u>Soluble Fiber:</u> Arabinogalactan,
Rhamnogalacturonan, Mucilage have great benefit
in sugar metabolism, blood pressure and cardiac
health.<br><br>

<b>Vitamins </b>– Aloe Ferox contains vitamins in their
enzyme form: A, C, E, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, Folic
Acid and Choline all of which have a wide function
in human physiology and wellbeing. Together with
minerals and trace elements, vitamins function as
catalysts for all enzyme processes.
“The spark of life.”<br><br>

<b><i>Very small amounts of Aloe Ferox are needed
to experience bowel cleansing. For best
results, make tea with Aloe Ferox Leaf
Powder and combine with Aloe Ferox Bitter
Extract powder to get all the benefits of the
whole leaf which include immune, liver and
gallbladder support.</b></i><br><br>

      <description><![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.therawfoodworld.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1005961"><img src="http://www.therawfoodworld.com/images/moringacaps.jpg" alt="Moringa Leaf, 120 Caps - Moringa Delight" title=" Moringa Leaf, 120 Caps - Moringa Delight " width="109" height="100" style="float: left; margin: 0px 8px 8px 0px;" /></a>We are located in Leon, Nicaragua in fertile, volcanic soil, close to the Pacific Ocean, 50 meters above sea level which makes it ideal to grow and cultivate Moringa. <br><br>

Moringa is originally from Southern Himalaya and has spread to all tropical and sub tropical lands of the world, where it is known by many local names and used in each country to treat different diseases as well as an addition to local diets. <br><br>


Moringa was brought to the West thanks to the work done by scientists who studied its properties in Africa and India. FAO, UN, UNESCO, World Health Organization and others are promoting and endorsing its use to treat malnutrition and many medical conditions. Major research centers throughout the world, John Hopkins, University of Leicestere, Duke University and others are doing experiments to verify claims made by Ayurvedic medicine and other traditional medicines throughout the world who have used the products of this plant. <br><br>

FAO has feeding programs to reduce malnutrition among children in Africa, as well as supplementation to pregnant women to supply the much needed calcium, protein, vitamin A, B and iron for the healthy development of the fetus and to increase milk production of the nursing mothers. <br><br>


Other programs have been initiated to supply Moringa to people with HIV to reinforce their immune system and thus prevent complications from other diseases. <br><br>


Much has been said and written about Moringa, users swear that this plant is a “cure all” product. Ayurvedic medicine, the oldest medicine practiced in the world has prescribed Moringa to treat and prevent over 300 diseases. Modern science has found that the reason this “miracle plant” has so many curative properties is the combination of nutrients, enzymes, vintamins, minerals, proteins, amino acids and anti oxidants it contains: <br><br>

Over 27% protein, more than twice the calcium in milk, all 8 essential amino acids and 21 total, 46 anti oxidants, 36 anti inflammatory agents, vitamin A, B, D, E, K as well as magnesium, manganese, copper, zinc, iron and calcium in high dosages. In total, more than 92 beneficial elements have been found in Moringa. It is no wonder that many of the common diseases affecting modern society are relieved or cured by using Moringa. It is well known that many sicknesses affecting modern societies are caused by the ingestion of foods lacking in minerals, vitamins, micronutrients, enzymes which have been depleted from the soil because of bad agricultural practices, by the use of chemical fertilizers, insecticides and herbicides. It has been found that the lack of the nutrients missing plus pollution, stress and sedentary life style has caused an upsurge of illnesses in modern society. <br><br>

Moringa is a safe and proven way to supply the much needed nutrients as well as help fight free radicals with the 46 anti oxidants found in Moringa’s leaves. It has been classified as a GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) food source without any negative secondary effects. <br><br>

<b><big><u>What makes us different from other growers and producers? </b></big></u><br><br>

From the onset of our project an uncompromising decision was made to cultivate, harvest and process Moringa following only the more sound and best methods available, friendly with the environment and using only the safest and most hygienic method to obtain the healthiest and freshest product available in the market. It was decided to break away from all Indian and African practices of washing and disinfecting leaves using chlorinated or salt water as well as drying under the sun or under a “shed”, as it can be seen in most of the YouTube’s available. Chlorinated water leaves a residue in the dried leaves with all the negative “connotations”. <br><br>
Drying under the sun eliminates most of the vitamins available in Moringa and exposes leaves to contamination from the environment. Drying “under sheds” is even a worse practice since it takes over 4 days to dry, forming mold and yeast as well as contamination from insects, rodents and other animals attracted by the protein and other nutrients in Moringa. To eliminate all the contamination bacteria, Escherichia coli, also known as E. coli and other pathogens, most imported Moringa products from those countries require treatment with Gamma irradiation which also reduces or eliminates most of the vitamin and other positive properties. We wash leaves using ozone water, dry in a stainless steel rotary drier at less than 110 Degrees Fahrenheit thus preserving nutrient and enzymes intact and making our food “Raw”. Our processing plant is USDA compliant, FDA registered and we follow Good Manufacturing Practices. Our products are free from germs, bacteria, mold and yeast without the need to decontaminate as others do.

Ron Teeguarden's Super Pill is a special kind of formulation. It is composed entirely of super tonics, the elite tonic herbs in the world. Each of the herbs in this remarkable formulation are "King Herbs," herbs that typically are the lead herb in major formulations. They all have huge reputations for promoting radiant health, longevity and wisdom. It is possible to purchase each of these herbs individually, but by purchasing and consuming this one product, you are assuring yourself of consuming four of the most special health promoting herbs ever known to mankind. <br><br>
 
<b><big>The Herbs in Ron Teeguarden's Super Pill</b></big><br><br>
 
<b>Gynostemma Leaf</b><br><br>
 
Gynostemma is popularly believed in Asia to be an anti-aging, longevity herb. Gynostemma is generally reinforcing to overall health, has a strong anti-fatigue effect. It is also used throughout the Orient as a virtual "cure-all."  Gynostemma is a major adaptogenic herb, in the same league as Panax Ginseng, Siberian Ginseng, Reishi, Schizandra and Astragalus. <br><br>
 
In China, Gynostemma is widely believed to reduce oxygen deficiency at high altitudes, to improve digestion, to strengthen the mind, and to improve sex functions.  It is also believed to help calm the nerves and to ease pain.  <br><br>
 
The ultimate greatness of Gynostemma lies in its broad spectrum adaptogenic quality. It has double-direction activity in many areas. It has the ability to bring balance to the body under a wide range of stressful circumstances. Constant consumption of Gynostemma tends to have a highly protective quality because it strengthens the adaptive capacity of the person at every level of their life. The chemical constituents responsible for the adaptogenic characteristic of Gynostemma are saponins called gypenosides. <br><br>
 
Gynostemma contains more than eighty different gypenosides.  This is the broadest range of saponins in one plant in nature.  Ginseng, for example has about thirty-six saponins (ginsenosides) and Astragalus has about thirty-two saponins (astragalosides).  These gypenosides are very similar to that of Ginseng and to the eleutherosides of Siberian Ginseng.  In fact, four of Gynostemma’s saponins are precisely the same chemical structure as the saponins found in Ginseng and eleven more are almost identical.  The similarities are so close and so extensive that Gynostemma is now called “Southern Ginseng.”  To the local people who grow it and consume it, it is simply called “Magical Grass.” <br><br>
 
Studies indicate that Gynostemma has a double-direction, regulating, and adaptogenic influence of the central nervous system. It is calming when one is overexcited and stimulating when one is depressed.  Japanese studies have shown that Gynostemma is clinically useful in a number of mental and neurological conditions, including simple depression, anxiety and schizophrenia. <br><br>
 
Though Gynostemma is regarded as a tonic herb, it is already perceived by many Asian people to be a “cure all.”  In China, Gynostemma is being used to treat inflammation, stop cough, as an expectorant to remove sputum, to treat chronic bronchitis, and much more in actual clinical practice in Asia.  <br><br>
 
What is more important, Gynostemma does not cause any side effects and can be taken orally for a long time.  <br><br>
 
<b>The Gynostemma Extract used in Ron Teeguarden's Super Pill contains 60% gypenosides. This is much more potent than normal extracts, which typically contain approximately 10% gypenosides. </b><br><br>
 
<b>Lycium (Goji) Fruit</b><br><br>
 
This delicious fruit is very widely used as an excellent Yin Jing and blood tonic. Regular consumption of Lycium is traditionally believed to lead to a long and happy life. It is said that prolonged consumption of Lycium will promote cheerfulness and vitality. Lycium is also said to brighten the eyes and improve vision. It is said that Lycium strengthens the legs and enhances sexual function. Lycium fruit contains polysaccharides that have been demonstrated to strongly fortify the immune system. Lycium is also very rich in a vitamin C precursor that converts to vitamin C in the blood stream, and in B vitamins. Furthermore, it is the richest source of carotenoids, including beta carotene, of all known plants on earth and is thus a powerful antioxidant. <br><br>
 
Fructus Lycii, the dried fruit of Lycium barbarum is one of the most commonly prescribed Yin-modulators used in Chinese herbalism. In Asia and wherever Chinese herbalism is practiced, this herb/superfood is used as a tonic, and is widely used specifically for the treatment of general debility with a deficiency of vital essence. It replenishes the Yin component and blood elements, improves eyesight, lumbago, impotence vertigo and other symptoms of Yin deficiency of the Kidney and Liver energy channels. In traditional Chinese medicine, it has been documented extensively as a favorite ingredient in recipes for elderly people. This herb contains simple sugars, polysaccharides, betaine, zeaxanthin and physalein.  <br><br>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
 
Various human studies have shown the oral administration of goji (lycium fruit either as an extract or as dried fruit) to in have improved their immune functions, raised the serum levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and hemoglobin but lowered the level of lipid peroxides as well as reduced senility symptoms. Traditional medicinal preparations for sick persons and the elderly usually contain it as one of the ingredients. <br><br>
 
Goji berries contain an abundance of health-promoting constituents including: Lycium polysaccharides, 18 amino acids, 6 essential fatty acids, vitamins B1, B2, B6, E (not  commonly found in fruit), more beta carotene than carrots, as much vitamin C as contained in lemons or oranges, and more than twenty trace minerals including calcium, organic germanium, selenium, zinc, phosphorus, and iron. <br><br>
 
High-grade, fresh Chinese goji is extremely rich in beta-carotene (some researchers estimate that it has the highest content of beta-carotene among all foods on earth).  Beta-carotene can be transformed into vitamin A under the influence of human liver enzymes. Therefore, vitamin A ultimately plays a major influence in Lycium’s actions. Lycium’s function on the eyes is related to this factor.  Lycium’s vitamin B1 and B2 contents are significant and the vitamin C content of freeze-dried Lycium has been measured to be 73 mg / 100 grams.  Goji berries appear to help support our health in many ways. They possess powerful immune-supporting phytochemicals. Goji berry and its extracts have been shown to neutralize free radicals and to protect DNA. Evidence indicates that goji berries are likely to protect our nervous system (including our brain) and our sexual organs from damage due to stress, temperature variations and free radicals. <br><br>
 
Convincing evidence supports the traditional notion that consuming goji berries regularly can help support cardiovascular health, protect the pancreas and liver, enhance immunity, support eye health, increase libido and fertility and improve mood. <br><br>
 
The fruit also contains beta-sitosterol (an anti-inflammatory agent), linoleic acid (a fatty acid), sesquiterpenoids (cyperone, solavetivone), tetraterpenoids (zeaxanthin, physalin), and betaine. <br><br>
 
<b>Reishi Mushroom</b><br><br>
 
Reishi mushroom is arguably the most revered herbal substance in Asia, certainly ranking with ginseng as the elite substance for the attainment of radiant health, longevity and spiritual attainment.  It has maintained that position for at least 2000 years, and its reputation and value are only increasing. Since Reishi has been known to have many functions, it has been the subject of a great deal of research in recent years. It is absolutely safe, being non-toxic. <br><br>
	
Reishi has traditionally been used as an anti-aging herb and has been used for many diseases and disorders as well. Taoists have continuously claimed that Reishi promotes calmness, centeredness, balance, inner awareness and inner strength. They have used it to improve meditative practices and to protect the body, mind and spirit so that the adept could attain both a long and healthy life and spiritual immortality.  <br><br>
 
Reishi is now used as a general tonic to help develop energy, to improve digestion and to improve sleep. Reishi is a profound immune potentiator. It has been found to significantly improve the functioning of the immune system whether the immune system is deficient or excessive. In this sense, it is an immune "modulator"---that is, it helps to modulate, or regulate, and fine tune the immune system. Our immune system is a virtually miraculous network of activities designed over millions of years to protect us from viruses, bacteria, parasites, molds, dust, pollen and malignant cells.  It is the responsibility of the immune system to detect the intrusion, or invasion, of these entities and to mount a defense in order to eliminate them. A healthy immune system is capable of resisting most such intruders and a very hardy system may be able to resist invasions that many other people's systems cannot. If the immune system is weakened or malfunctioning, the invading microbes can easily establish a foothold in our body and disease sets in. Antibiotics can often be used to stop the invasion at this time, but chronic use of antibiotics further weakens the immune response. Furthermore, antibiotics are useless against viruses, pollens and most parasites. They are certainly useless against malignant (cancerous) cells generated in our own bodies. It is much better to resist the invasion from within with a fully fortified immune system and not become ill in the first place. This is where herbs like Reishi our now attracting the attention of scientists and consumers alike. <br><br>
 
Chemical constituents known as polysaccharides play an important role in attacking cancerous cells, but not healthy ones, while simultaneously strengthening the body's overall immune functions. The polysaccharides appear to help the body attack microbial invaders such as viruses, bacteria and yeast. Reishi does not just "stimulate" the immune system. It regulates it. And that is what makes Reishi so precious. If the immune system is excessive, as is the case with auto-immune diseases and allergies, Reishi can have significant positive influence. A group of chemicals known as the ganoderic acids help fight auto-immune diseases such as allergies. Ganoderic acids inhibit histamine release, improve oxygen utilization and improve liver functions. Ganoderic acids are also potent antioxidant free-radical scavengers.  .  <br><br>
 
Reishi is widely used in Asia to improve the cardiovascular system. It helps lower HDL (the "bad" cholesterol) and reduce excess fatty acids. It has been found to prevent  and treat hardening of the arteries, angina and shortness of breath associated with coronary heart disease.  <br><br>
 
It has been demonstrated that Reishi can help reduce the side-effects of many kinds of chemotherapy and radiation treatment and simultaneously contribute to the rebuilding of the immune system – an essential part of the recovery from cancer. Reishi stimulates the production of interferon and interleukins I and II, all being potent natural anti-cancer substances produced in our own bodies. <br><br>
 
It has also been approved in Japan and China for the treatment of myasthenia gravis, a serious auto-immune disease. Besides that, it is commonly prescribed by MD’s in Japan for chronic bronchitis, memory loss, insomnia, hyperlipidemia and a whole range of degenerative diseases of the elderly, including disorders associated with senility. <br><br>
 
Reishi is a superb anti-stress herb. Throughout history it has been used to bring balance into the lives of people who needed help in this department, and that means most everyone. Deep in antiquity, it was routinely used by mountain hermits, monks, Daoist adepts and spiritual seekers throughout Asia because it was believed to help calm the mind, ease tension, strengthen the nerves, strengthen memory, sharpen concentration, improve focus, build will power and, as a result, help build wisdom.  That is why it was called the "Mushroom of Spiritual Potency" by these seekers. The people of Asia have never lost their faith in Reishi. They believe more than ever in Reishi's power to improve the quality of life by improving the inner life of a human being. All the scientific validation only explains the physical nature of Reishi, but it is the profound ability of Reishi to improve one's life on every plane that makes it so miraculous. Reishi is indeed calming and centering. Everyone who takes Reishi notices the peacefulness that seems to accompany its use.  Many people are able to stop using chemical drugs. And Reishi seems to be cumulative, gradually strengthening the nerves and actually changing how we perceive life. <br><br>
 
This product is made from 100% Duanwood, which studies have shown is the most powerful Reishi in the world from a pharmacological perspective. It is extremely rich in all of the components that make Reishi great in the first place. Duanwood Reishi is far more powerful than common hot house Reishi and Reishi mycelium, the most common sources of raw materials on the American market. 
 
Duanwood Reishi is a substance that builds health on all levels. But high quality Duanwood Reishi is among the rarest of jewels in nature. Life itself is based on the ability to adapt to the stresses, the attacks, the challenges that come our way every day. Duanwood Reishi seems to provide an incredible resource of the full range of energies we need to meet these challenges. Duanwood Reishi is indeed "the great protector," protecting us on every level – physically, immunologically, mentally, spiritually. It helps us adapt to the world and provides additional power for us to achieve a superior level of life. When we are so protected and so provided for, we can achieve things that otherwise would be impossible. That is why Duanwood Reishi has been called the "herb of good fortune." <br><br>
 
<b>Tibetan Rhodiola </b><br><br>
 
<b>Tibetan Rhodiola sacra</b> is an exciting herb, only recently available outside of Tibet. It is a rare herbal substance because it grows in one of the harshest environments in the world. In the Orient, Rhodiola sacra is called “Plateau Ginseng,” and as the species name “sacra” indicates, the Tibetans consider Rhodiola sacra to be a sacred herb. It has been used by the Tibetan people as a powerful adaptogenic vitalizer and as a substantial medicinal agent since the beginning of Tibetan civilization. Rhodiola sacra has also been prized by the Chinese and was very positively reviewed in the very first Chinese herbal classic over two thousand years ago. It was regarded by the author of that classic text, Shen Nong, as a life-prolonging, wisdom enhancing “superior herb.” However, the rarity of Rhodiola sacra has prevented it from becoming a well-known commodity outside of Asia. <br><br>
 
According to Tibetans, Tibetan Rhodiola sacra may be used as a tonic, in which case it strongly increases vitality. It is good for strengthening the body and mind, resisting fatigue, resisting a lack of oxygen and excessive radiation (including solar radiation), and for prolonging life. It is especially well known for increasing the intelligence of those who consume it regularly. Rhodiola sacra has the action of “supporting and strengthening the human body” and the immune potentiating effects of Rhodiola sacra are, according to some researchers, stronger than those Ginseng (a VERY potent immune potentiator). Rhodiola sacra has a notable restorative effect if one consumes a preparation while the tired body is recovering or is failing to recover from strong or excessive exertion. Tibetan Rhodiola sacra is now being distributed and consumed in China and Japan. According to the Chinese Ministry of Health, Rhodiola sacra has the following functions: <br><br>
 
<li> It has the action of supporting and strengthening the human body and intelligence, and prolonging life.
<li> It has double-direction adjusting effects on the nervous and endocrine systems.
<li> It is good for resisting fatigue, lack of oxygen and radiation, and it can improve a person’s memory, power of concentration and work-efficiency.<br><br>
 
Consumption of a small amount of Tibetan Rhodiola sacra extract significantly improves a person’s capacity to absorb and utilize oxygen. This is a major key to the incredible benefits associated with this herb. When you consume Tibetan Rhodiola sacra, it is the same as inhaling pure oxygen. <br><br>
 
Tibetan Rhodiola sacra is a superior tonic for those who work from behind a desk or at a computer terminal for long periods of time.  It is a powerful brain tonic and alertness enhancer. People who consume Rhodiola sacra find that they can work for much longer without losing their ability to concentrate and create. It is a superb herb for writers, executives, lawyers, etc. <br><br>
 
Tibetan Rhodiola sacra is especially beneficial to those who live under stressful conditions. It has been proven that Rhodiola sacra reduces the body’s stress response, and thus protects against the physical side effects of chronic or acute stress. It protects from the damaging effects of mental stress as well. All this is due to its powerful adaptogenic activity. People stay focused and suffer far less from fatigue even under severe stress. Rhodiola sacra is the ideal herbal supplement for the modern world. 
 
This incredible herb has long been used by the Tibetan monks to enhance their spiritual power, the power of concentration and physical endurance. It has undoubtedly played a major role in the development of Tibetan culture. It is a superb herb to take before meditation, since it improves respiration and clears the mind and promotes focused mental states. Tibetan Rhodiola sacra gained its name because it is considered a sacred herb in Tibet and Bhutan. <br><br>

Evidence has shown that Tibetan Rhodiola sacra is in many ways more powerful than Ginseng, and, for that matter, every other adaptogenic herb in the world. It is a superb herb for people who work very hard physically. Rhodiola sacra has been shown to improve physical endurance. It has been shown to be a superb tonic and energizer for those into physical fitness and for athletes, including extreme athletes. <br><br>
 
Rhodiola sacra has been found to be extremely beneficial to the cardiovascular system, and is used in China and Tibet to prevent heart disease, the number one cause of death in the United States. <br><br>
 
Rhodiola sacra is also a powerful immune modulator, building the immune system into a well tuned fighting machine. <br><br>
 
Tibetan Rhodiola sacra also is being used as a powerful and safe antidepressant. It is believed to be more powerful than St. Johns Wort, currently the world’s number one selling natural antidepressant substance. <br><br>
 
Rhodiola sacra has been found to be stimulating to the appetites and strengthening for weakened individuals and for those recovering from illness and surgery. However, it may be used by people of excessive weight to help in losing fat because it increases respiratory power and thus can act as a thermogenic agent. By providing increased oxygen and increased energy, Rhodiola sacra improves the ability to lose weight through exercise. Rhodiola sacra is the perfect herb for those who want to gain muscle and lose fat. <br><br>
 
Rhodiola sacra is rich in the primary active ingredient, salidroside. However, it is important to know that this single active agent is not the sole active agent in Rhodiola sacra, and that Dragon Herbs’ <b>Diamond Mind</b> is extracted so that the full range of phytochemicals are fully extracted. This is a full potency herbal extract. It is effective in very small quantities and its effects are felt by many people almost immediately. <br><br>
 
Rhodiola sacra is a non-toxic herbal nutrient. Safety studies, as well as 2000 years of experience, indicate conclusively that Rhodiola sacra is extremely safe, having no side effects in humans when taken even at high doses. Numerous studies have been presented to the Chinese Ministry of Public Health, which has reached the following evaluation: “Tibetan Rhodiola sacra has no poison, no sub-slow poison and does not cause any sudden change and deformity.” <br><br>
 
Rhodiola sacra, and several other very closely related species of Rhodiola (which may be used interchangeably with Rhodiola sacra) grows on the Himalayas at more than 14,700 feet above sea level, under extremely adverse conditions. The region in which Rhodiola sacra grows is extremely barren due to the extreme climatic conditions of the Tibetan alpines. This is considered to be one of the harshest environments on earth, with dry air, insufficient oxygen, strong ultraviolet radiation and a huge day-and-night temperature variance (often as much 60 degrees Centigrade or more). Rhodiola sacra, which belong in to the Crassulaceae family, is a sub-shrub plant with a succulent stem. Its adaptability to the harsh environmental circumstances and its vitality are seldom found in any other plants. <br><br>
 
Rhodiola sacra’s root and stem are mainly used as a precious tonic. The major effective contents are salidroside (C14H20O9), tyrosot (C8H10O2), p-sitosterol, ethyl gallate, gallic acid, flavones, phenol compounds, 35 kinds of biologically active trace elements (e.g., Fe, Al, Zn, Ag, Co, Cd, Ti, Mo, Mn, etc.), as well as a complex volatile oil. Tibetan Rhodiola  also contains 18 amino acids which are needed by the human body, 7 of which are "essential" (cannot be produced by the body). Such a spectrum of bio-nutrients is seldom seen in any other natural plant. <br><br>
 
<b>Salidroside, tyrosot</b> and <b>sitosterol</b> mainly enhance the resistance of the human body for adapting to stressful conditions and adjust physiological functions for restoration. It has double-direction adjusting effects on the nervous system and endocrine system, and possesses many kinds of physiologically active components which studies have shown have anticarcinogenic, antiviral, and antimicrobial activity in in vitro and animal studies*.<br><br>
 
The people of Tibet knew over a thousands years ago that by decocting Rhodiola sacra with water or extracting it in alcohol, it can be drunk to overcome fatigue from heavy physical labor and to help increase the vitality necessary for completing extraordinary physical tasks. The benefits of Rhodiola sacra were recorded in the Jingzhu Materia Medica (the Tibetan Medicine Documents). According to that ancient Tibetan medical classic, Rhodiola sacra is nourishing to the lungs and respiratory functions, it is antipyretic, and vitalizing. It was said by “Supernatural Peasant’s (Shen Nong’s) Materia Medica Classic” that “Rhodiola sacra will make the body light and relaxed, and will make the eyes bright.” <br><br>
 
According to a large numbers of pharmacological experiments and clinical reports, weak and sick men and women can be helped in building up their strength, intelligence and efficiency of working or exercising power by taking a Rhodiola sacra product frequently. A healthy man or woman can noticeably raise his or her memory and power of concentration. <b>Rhodiola sacra has also been used for stimulating the mental energy and working efficiency of those who work primarily with their brains</b>. <br><br>
 
It can be used for relieving internal heat and for detoxification. It is used for invigorating blood circulation and stopping bleeding. With respect to gynecology, it has a beneficial effect on women’s consumptive disorders, and abnormal menstruation, either excessive or deficient. <br><br>
 
Traditionally it is believed to have a remarkable curative effect on neurosis and asthenia resulting from various causes.* Therefore, it plays a very important role in military medicine, space medicine and sports medicine. Tibetan researchers have been studying Tibetan Rhodiola sacra with great interest in the last twenty years, and have conducted experiments for toxicology and physicochemical and pharmacological analyses, together with various large hospitals, including the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, the Chinese Ministry of Space, the Chinese Military Academy of Medical Sciences, Beijing Medical and Scientific University, Qinghua University, Chinese Preventive Medical and Scientific College, and the Capital Academy of Medical Sciences. As a result, a large body of supportive research is confirming the benefits of Tibetan Rhodiola sacra, and new functions are being discovered. <br><br>
 
Rhodiola crenulata, a very close relative of Rhodiola sacra, is used interchangeably with Rhodiola sacra in both Tibet and China. They are pharmacologically very similar and are indistinguishable clinically. In Bhutan, they are regarded as the same herb, though their flower is a different color. They are merely considered different varieties of Tibetan Rhodiola. <br><br>
 
Tibetan Rhodiola is a health treasure presented by Tibet and Bhutan to the whole world, and by Ron Teeguarden’s Dragon Herbs to you.  <br><br>

<b><u><big>DMSO: Many Uses, Much Controversy </b></u></big> <br><br>
<b>researched by Maya Muir</b><br><br>
<b><u>Abstract</b></u> <br><br>
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), a by-product of the wood industry, has been in use as a commercial solvent since 1953. It is also one of the most studied but least understood pharmaceutical agents of our time--at least in the United States. According to Stanley Jacob, MD, a former head of the organ transplant program at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, more than 40,000 articles on its chemistry have appeared in scientific journals, which, in conjunction with thousands of laboratory studies, provide strong evidence of a wide variety of properties. (See Major Properties Attributed to DMSO) Worldwide, some 11,000 articles have been written on its medical and clinical implications, and in 125 countries throughout the world, including Canada, Great Britain, Germany, and Japan, doctors prescribe it for a variety of ailments, including pain, inflammation, scleroderma, interstitial cystitis, and arthritis elevated intercranial pressure. <br><br>
Yet in the United States, DMSO has Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval only for use as a preservative of organs for transplant and for interstitial cystitis, a bladder disease. It has fallen out of the limelight and out of the mainstream of medical discourse, leading some to believe that it was discredited. The truth is more complicated. <br><br>
<b><u>DMSO: A History of Controversy</b></u> <br><br>
The history of DMSO as a pharmaceutical began in 1961, when Dr. Jacob was head of the organ transplant program at Oregon Health Sciences University. It all started when he first picked up a bottle of the colorless liquid. While investigating its potential as a preservative for organs, he quickly discovered that it penetrated the skin quickly and deeply without damaging it. He was intrigued. Thus began his lifelong investigation of the drug. <br><br>
The news media soon got word of his discovery, and it was not long before reporters, the pharmaceutical industry, and patients with a variety of medical complaints jumped on the news. Because it was available for industrial uses, patients could dose themselves. This early public interest interfered with the ability of Dr. Jacob--or, later, the FDA--to see that experimentation and use were safe and controlled and may have contributed to the souring of the mainstream medical community on it. <br><br>
Why, if DMSO possesses half the capabilities claimed by Dr. Jacob and others, is it still on the sidelines of medicine in the United States today? <br><br>
"It's a square peg being pushed into a round hole," says Dr. Jacob. "It doesn't follow the rifle approach of one agent against one disease entity. It's the aspirin of our era. If aspirin were to come along today, it would have the same problem. If someone gave you a little white pill and said take this and your headache will go away, your body temperature will go down, it will help prevent strokes and major heart problems--what would you think?" <br><br>
Others cite DMSO's principal side effect: an odd odor, akin to that of garlic, that emanates from the mouth shortly after use, even if use is through the skin. Certainly, this odor has made double-blinded studies difficult. Such studies are based on the premise that no one, neither doctor nor patient, knows which patient receives the drug and which the placebo, but this drug announces its presence within minutes. <br><br>
Others, such as Terry Bristol, a Ph.D. candidate from the University of London and president of the Institute for Science, Engineering and Public Policy in Portland, Oregon, who assisted Dr. Jacob with his research in the 1960s and 1970s, believe that the smell of DMSO may also have put off the drug companies, that feared it would be hard to market. Worse, however, for the pharmaceutical companies was the fact that no company could acquire an exclusive patent for DMSO, a major consideration when the clinical testing required to win FDA approval for a drug routinely runs into millions of dollars. In addition, says Mr. Bristol, DMSO, with its wide range of attributes, would compete with many drugs these companies already have on the market or in development. <br><br>
<b><u>The FDA and DMSO</b></u></big> <br><br>
In the first flush of enthusiasm over the drug, six pharmaceutical companies embarked on clinical studies. Then, in November 1965, a woman in Ireland died of an allergic reaction after taking DMSO and several other drugs. Although the precise cause of the woman's death was never determined, the press reported it to be DMSO. Two months later, the FDA closed down clinical trials in the United States, citing the woman's death and changes in the lenses of certain laboratory animals that had been given doses of the drug many times higher than would be given humans. <br><br>
Some 20 years and hundreds of laboratory and human studies later, no other deaths have been reported, nor have changes in the eyes of humans been documented or claimed. Since then, however, the FDA has refused seven applications to conduct clinical studies, and approved only 1, for intersititial cystitis, which subsequently was approved for prescriptive use in 1978. <br><br>
Dr. Jacob believes the FDA "blackballed" DMSO, actively trying to kill interest in a drug that could end much suffering. Jack de la Torre, MD, Ph.D., professor of neurosurgery and physiology at the University of New Mexico Medical School in Albuquerque, a pioneer in the use of DMSO and closed head injury, says, "Years ago the FDA had a sort of chip on its shoulder because it thought DMSO was some kind of snake oil medicine. There were people there who were openly biased against the compound even though they knew very little about it. With the new administration at that agency, it has changed a bit." The FDA recently granted permission to conduct clinical trials in Dr. de la Torre's field of closed head injury. <br><br>
<b><u>DMSO Penetrates Membranes and Eases Pain</b></u></big> <br><br>
The first quality that struck Dr. Jacob about the drug was its ability to pass through membranes, an ability that has been verified by numerous subsequent researchers.1 DMSO's ability to do this varies proportionally with its strength--up to a 90 percent solution. From 70 percent to 90 percent has been found to be the most effective strength across the skin, and, oddly, performance drops with concentrations higher than 90 percent. Lower concentrations are sufficient to cross other membranes. Thus, 15 percent DMSO will easily penetrate the bladder.2  <br><br>
In addition, DMSO can carry other drugs with it across membranes. It is more successful ferrying some drugs, such as morphine sulfate, penicillin, steroids, and cortisone, than others, such as insulin. What it will carry depends on the molecular weight, shape, and electrochemistry of the molecules. This property would enable DMSO to act as a new drug delivery system that would lower the risk of infection occurring whenever skin is penetrated. <br><br>
DMSO perhaps has been used most widely as a topical analgesic, in a 70 percent DMSO, 30 percent water solution. Laboratory studies suggest that DMSO cuts pain by blocking peripheral nerve C fibers.3 Several clinical trials have demonstrated its effectiveness,4,5 although in one trial, no benefit was found.6 Burns, cuts, and sprains have been treated with DMSO. Relief is reported to be almost immediate, lasting up to 6 hours. A number of sports teams and Olympic athletes have used DMSO, although some have since moved on to other treatment modalities. When administration ceases, so do the effects of the drug. <br><br>
Dr. Jacob said at a hearing of the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Health in 1980, "DMSO is one of the few agents in which effectiveness can be demonstrated before the eyes of the observers....If we have patients appear before the Committee with edematous sprained ankles, the application of DMSO would be followed by objective diminution of swelling within an hour. No other therapeutic modality will do this." <br><br>
Chronic pain patients often have to apply the substance for 6 weeks before a change occurs, but many report relief to a degree they had not been able to obtain from any other source. <br><br>
<b><u>DMSO and Inflammation</b></u></big> <br><br>
DMSO reduces inflammation by several mechanisms. It is an antioxidant, a scavenger of the free radicals that gather at the site of injury. This capability has been observed in experiments with laboratory animals7 and in 150 ulcerative colitis patients in a double-blinded randomized study in Baghdad, Iraq.8 DMSO also stabilizes membranes and slows or stops leakage from injured cells. <br><br>
At the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1978, 213 patients with inflammatory genitourinary disorders were studied. Researchers concluded that DMSO brought significant relief to the majority of patients. They recommended the drug for all inflammatory conditions not caused by infection or tumor in which symptoms were severe or patients failed to respond to conventional therapy.9  <br><br>
Stephen Edelson, MD, F.A.A.F.P., F.A.A.E.M., who practices medicine at the Environmental and Preventive Health Center of Atlanta, has used DMSO extensively for 4 years. "We use it intravenously as well as locally," he says. "We use it for all sorts of inflammatory conditions, from people with rheumatoid arthritis to people with chronic low back inflammatory-type symptoms, silicon immune toxicity syndromes, any kind of autoimmune process. <br><br>
"DMSO is not a cure," he continues. "It is a symptomatic approach used while you try to figure out why the individual has the process going on. When patients come in with rheumatoid arthritis, we put them on IV DMSO, maybe three times a week, while we are evaluating the causes of the disease, and it is amazing how free they get. It really is a dramatic treatment." <br><br>
As for side effects, Dr. Edelson says: "Occasionally, a patient will develop a headache from it, when used intravenously--and it is dose related." He continues: "If you give a large dose, [the patient] will get a headache. And we use large doses. I have used as much as 30ÝmlÝIV over a couple of hours. The odor is a problem. Some men have to move out of the room [shared] with their wives and into separate bedrooms. That is basically the only problem." <br><br>
DMSO was the first nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory discovered since aspirin. Mr. Bristol believes that it was that discovery that spurred pharmaceutical companies on to the development on other varieties of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories. "Pharmaceutical companies were saying that if DMSO can do this, so can other compounds," says Mr. Bristol. "The shame is that DMSO is less toxic and has less int he way of side effects than any of them." <br><br>
<b><u>Collagen and Scleroderma</b></u></big> <br><br>
Scleroderma is a rare, disabling, and sometimes fatal disease, resulting form an abnormal buildup of collagen in the body. The body swells, the skin--particularly on hands and face--becomes dense and leathery, and calcium deposits in joints cause difficulty of movement. Fatigue and difficulty in breathing may ensue. Amputation of affected digits may be necessary. The cause of scleroderma is unknown, and, until DMSO arrived, there was no known effective treatment. <br><br>
Arthur Scherbel, MD, of the department of rheumatic diseases and pathology at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, conducted a study using DMSO with 42 scleroderma patients who had already exhausted all other possible therapies without relief. Dr. Scherbel and his coworkers concluded 26 of the 42 showed good or excellent improvement. Histotoxic changes were observed together with healing of ischemic ulcers on fingertips, relief from pain and stiffness, and an increase in strength. The investigators noted, "It should be emphasized that these have never been observed with any other mode of therapy."10 Researchers in other studies have since come to similar conclusions.11  <br><br>
<b><u>Does DMSO Help Arthritis? </b></u></big> <br><br>
It was inevitable that DMSO, with its pain-relieving, collagen-softening, and anti-inflammatory characteristics, would be employed against arthritis, and its use has been linked to arthritis as much as to any condition. Yet the FDA has never given approval for this indication and has, in fact, turned down three Investigational New Drug (IND) applications to conduct extensive clinical trials. <br><br>
Moreover, its use for arthritis remains controversial. Robert Bennett, MD, F.R.C.P., F.A.C.R., F.A.C.P., professor of medicine and chief, division of arthritis and rheumatic disease at Oregon Health Sciences University (Dr. Jacob's university), says other drugs work better. Dava Sobel and Arthur Klein conducted their own informal study of 47 arthritis patients using DMSO in preparation for writing their book, Arthritis: What Works, and came to the same conclusion.12  <br><br>
Yet laboratory studies have indicated that DMSO's capacity as a free-radical scavenger suggests an important role for it in arthritis.13 The Committee of Clinical Drug Trials of the Japanese Rheumatism Association conducted a trial with 318 patients at several clinics using 90 percent DMSO and concluded that DMSO relieved joint pain and increased range of joint motion and grip strength, although performing better in more recent cases of the disease.14 It is employed widely in the former Soviet Union for all the different types of arthritis, as it is in other countries around the world. <br><br>
Dr. Jacob remains convinced that it can play a significant role in the treatment of arthritis. "You talk to veterinarians associated with any race track, and you'll find there's hardly an animal there that hasn't been treated with DMSO. No veterinarian is going to give his patient something that does not work. There's no placebo effect on a horse." <br><br>
<b><u>DMSO and Central Nervous System Trauma</b></u></big> <br><br>
Since 1971, Dr. de la Torre, then at the University of Chicago, has experimented using DMSO with injury to the central nervous system. Working with laboratory animals, he discovered that DMSO lowered intracranial pressure faster and more effectively than any other drug. DMSO also stabilized blood pressure, improved respiration, and increased urine output by five times and increased blood flow through the spinal cord to areas of injury.15-17 Since then, DMSO has been employed with human patients suffering severe head trauma, initially those whose intracranial pressure remained high despite the administration of mannitol, steroids, and barbiturates. In humans, as well as animals, it has proven the first drug to significantly lower intracranial pressure, the number one problem with severe head trauma. <br><br>
"We believe that DMSO may be a very good product for stroke," says Dr. de la Torre, "and that is a devastating illness which affects many more people than head injury. We have done some preliminary clinical trials, and there's a lot of animal data showing that it is a very good agent in dissolving clots." <br><br>
<b><u>Other Possible Applications for DMSO</b></u></big> <br><br>
Many other uses for DMSO have been hypothesized from its known qualities hand have been tested in the laboratory or in small clinical trials. Mr. Bristol speaks with frustration about important findings that have never been followed up on because of the difficulty in finding funding and because "to have on your resume these days that you've worked on DMSO is the kiss of death." It is simply too controversial. A sampling of some other possible applications for this drug follows. <br><br>
DMSO as long been used to promote healing. People who have it on hand often use it for minor cuts and burns and report that recovery is speedy. Several studies have documented DMSO use with soft tissue damage, local tissue death, skin ulcers, and burns.18-21  <br><br>
In relation to cancer, several properties of DMSO have gained attention. In one study with rats, DMSO was found to delay the spread of one cancer and prolong survival rates with another.22 In other studies, it has been found to protect noncancer cells while potentiating the chemotherapeutic agent. <br><br>
Much has been written recently about the worldwide crisis in antibiotic resistance among bacteria (see Alternative & Complementary Therapies, Volume 2, Number 3, 1996, pages 140-144) Here, too, DMSO may be able to play a role. Researcher as early as 1975 discovered that it could break down the resistance certain bacteria have developed.23  <br><br>
In addition to its ability to lower intracranial pressure following closed head injury, Dr. de la Torre's work suggests that the drug may actually have the ability to prevent paralysis, given its ability to speedily clean out cellular debris and stop the inflammation that prevents blood from reaching muscle, leading to the death of muscle tissue. <br><br>
With its great antioxidant powers, DMSO could be used to mitigate some of the effects of aging, but little work has been done to investigate this possibility. Toxic shock, radiation sickness, and septicemia have all been postulated as responsive to DMSO, as have other conditions too numerous to mention here. <br><br>
<b><u>DMSO in the Future</b></u></big> <br><br>
Will DMSO ever sit on the shelves of pharmacies in this country as a legal prescriptive for many of the conditions it may be able to address? Will the studies we need to discover when this drug is most appropriate ever be done? Given the difficulties the drug has run into so far and the recent development of new drugs that perform some of the same functions, Mr. Bristol is doubtful. Others, however, such as Dr. Jacob and Dr. de la Torre, see the FDA approval of DMSO for interstitial cystitis and the more recent FDA go-ahead for DMSO trials with closed head injury as new indications of hope. The cystitis approval means that physicians may use it at their discretion for other uses, giving DMSO a new legitimacy. <br><br>
Dr. Jacob continues to believe that DMSO should not even be called a drug but is more correctly a new therapeutic principle, with an effect on medicine that will be profound in many areas. Whether that is true cannot be known without extensive a publicly reported trials, which are dependent on the willingness of researchers to undertake rigorous studies in this still-unfashionable tack and of pharmaceutical companies and other investors to back them up. That this is a live issue is proved by the difficulty the investigators with approval to test DMSO for closed head injury clinically are having finding funds to conduct the trials. <br><br>
In 1980, testifying before the Select Committee on Agin of the U.S. House of Representatives, Dr. Scherbel said, "The controversy that exists over the clinical effectiveness of DMSO is not well-founded--clinical effectiveness may be variable in different patients. If toxicity is consistently minimal, the drug should not be restricted from practice. The clinical effectiveness of DMSO can be decided with complete satisfaction if the drug is made available to the practicing physician. The number of patient complaints about pain and the number of phone calls to the doctor's office will decide quickly whether or not the drug is effective." <br><br>
It may be premature to call for the full rehabilitation of DMSO, but it is time to call for a full investigation of its true range of capabilities. <br><br>

<b><u><big>DMSO: Many Uses, Much Controversy </b></u></big> <br><br>
<b>researched by Maya Muir</b><br><br>
<b><u>Abstract</b></u> <br><br>
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), a by-product of the wood industry, has been in use as a commercial solvent since 1953. It is also one of the most studied but least understood pharmaceutical agents of our time--at least in the United States. According to Stanley Jacob, MD, a former head of the organ transplant program at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, more than 40,000 articles on its chemistry have appeared in scientific journals, which, in conjunction with thousands of laboratory studies, provide strong evidence of a wide variety of properties. (See Major Properties Attributed to DMSO) Worldwide, some 11,000 articles have been written on its medical and clinical implications, and in 125 countries throughout the world, including Canada, Great Britain, Germany, and Japan, doctors prescribe it for a variety of ailments, including pain, inflammation, scleroderma, interstitial cystitis, and arthritis elevated intercranial pressure. <br><br>
Yet in the United States, DMSO has Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval only for use as a preservative of organs for transplant and for interstitial cystitis, a bladder disease. It has fallen out of the limelight and out of the mainstream of medical discourse, leading some to believe that it was discredited. The truth is more complicated. <br><br>
<b><u>DMSO: A History of Controversy</b></u> <br><br>
The history of DMSO as a pharmaceutical began in 1961, when Dr. Jacob was head of the organ transplant program at Oregon Health Sciences University. It all started when he first picked up a bottle of the colorless liquid. While investigating its potential as a preservative for organs, he quickly discovered that it penetrated the skin quickly and deeply without damaging it. He was intrigued. Thus began his lifelong investigation of the drug. <br><br>
The news media soon got word of his discovery, and it was not long before reporters, the pharmaceutical industry, and patients with a variety of medical complaints jumped on the news. Because it was available for industrial uses, patients could dose themselves. This early public interest interfered with the ability of Dr. Jacob--or, later, the FDA--to see that experimentation and use were safe and controlled and may have contributed to the souring of the mainstream medical community on it. <br><br>
Why, if DMSO possesses half the capabilities claimed by Dr. Jacob and others, is it still on the sidelines of medicine in the United States today? <br><br>
"It's a square peg being pushed into a round hole," says Dr. Jacob. "It doesn't follow the rifle approach of one agent against one disease entity. It's the aspirin of our era. If aspirin were to come along today, it would have the same problem. If someone gave you a little white pill and said take this and your headache will go away, your body temperature will go down, it will help prevent strokes and major heart problems--what would you think?" <br><br>
Others cite DMSO's principal side effect: an odd odor, akin to that of garlic, that emanates from the mouth shortly after use, even if use is through the skin. Certainly, this odor has made double-blinded studies difficult. Such studies are based on the premise that no one, neither doctor nor patient, knows which patient receives the drug and which the placebo, but this drug announces its presence within minutes. <br><br>
Others, such as Terry Bristol, a Ph.D. candidate from the University of London and president of the Institute for Science, Engineering and Public Policy in Portland, Oregon, who assisted Dr. Jacob with his research in the 1960s and 1970s, believe that the smell of DMSO may also have put off the drug companies, that feared it would be hard to market. Worse, however, for the pharmaceutical companies was the fact that no company could acquire an exclusive patent for DMSO, a major consideration when the clinical testing required to win FDA approval for a drug routinely runs into millions of dollars. In addition, says Mr. Bristol, DMSO, with its wide range of attributes, would compete with many drugs these companies already have on the market or in development. <br><br>
<b><u>The FDA and DMSO</b></u></big> <br><br>
In the first flush of enthusiasm over the drug, six pharmaceutical companies embarked on clinical studies. Then, in November 1965, a woman in Ireland died of an allergic reaction after taking DMSO and several other drugs. Although the precise cause of the woman's death was never determined, the press reported it to be DMSO. Two months later, the FDA closed down clinical trials in the United States, citing the woman's death and changes in the lenses of certain laboratory animals that had been given doses of the drug many times higher than would be given humans. <br><br>
Some 20 years and hundreds of laboratory and human studies later, no other deaths have been reported, nor have changes in the eyes of humans been documented or claimed. Since then, however, the FDA has refused seven applications to conduct clinical studies, and approved only 1, for intersititial cystitis, which subsequently was approved for prescriptive use in 1978. <br><br>
Dr. Jacob believes the FDA "blackballed" DMSO, actively trying to kill interest in a drug that could end much suffering. Jack de la Torre, MD, Ph.D., professor of neurosurgery and physiology at the University of New Mexico Medical School in Albuquerque, a pioneer in the use of DMSO and closed head injury, says, "Years ago the FDA had a sort of chip on its shoulder because it thought DMSO was some kind of snake oil medicine. There were people there who were openly biased against the compound even though they knew very little about it. With the new administration at that agency, it has changed a bit." The FDA recently granted permission to conduct clinical trials in Dr. de la Torre's field of closed head injury. <br><br>
<b><u>DMSO Penetrates Membranes and Eases Pain</b></u></big> <br><br>
The first quality that struck Dr. Jacob about the drug was its ability to pass through membranes, an ability that has been verified by numerous subsequent researchers.1 DMSO's ability to do this varies proportionally with its strength--up to a 90 percent solution. From 70 percent to 90 percent has been found to be the most effective strength across the skin, and, oddly, performance drops with concentrations higher than 90 percent. Lower concentrations are sufficient to cross other membranes. Thus, 15 percent DMSO will easily penetrate the bladder.2  <br><br>
In addition, DMSO can carry other drugs with it across membranes. It is more successful ferrying some drugs, such as morphine sulfate, penicillin, steroids, and cortisone, than others, such as insulin. What it will carry depends on the molecular weight, shape, and electrochemistry of the molecules. This property would enable DMSO to act as a new drug delivery system that would lower the risk of infection occurring whenever skin is penetrated. <br><br>
DMSO perhaps has been used most widely as a topical analgesic, in a 70 percent DMSO, 30 percent water solution. Laboratory studies suggest that DMSO cuts pain by blocking peripheral nerve C fibers.3 Several clinical trials have demonstrated its effectiveness,4,5 although in one trial, no benefit was found.6 Burns, cuts, and sprains have been treated with DMSO. Relief is reported to be almost immediate, lasting up to 6 hours. A number of sports teams and Olympic athletes have used DMSO, although some have since moved on to other treatment modalities. When administration ceases, so do the effects of the drug. <br><br>
Dr. Jacob said at a hearing of the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Health in 1980, "DMSO is one of the few agents in which effectiveness can be demonstrated before the eyes of the observers....If we have patients appear before the Committee with edematous sprained ankles, the application of DMSO would be followed by objective diminution of swelling within an hour. No other therapeutic modality will do this." <br><br>
Chronic pain patients often have to apply the substance for 6 weeks before a change occurs, but many report relief to a degree they had not been able to obtain from any other source. <br><br>
<b><u>DMSO and Inflammation</b></u></big> <br><br>
DMSO reduces inflammation by several mechanisms. It is an antioxidant, a scavenger of the free radicals that gather at the site of injury. This capability has been observed in experiments with laboratory animals7 and in 150 ulcerative colitis patients in a double-blinded randomized study in Baghdad, Iraq.8 DMSO also stabilizes membranes and slows or stops leakage from injured cells. <br><br>
At the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1978, 213 patients with inflammatory genitourinary disorders were studied. Researchers concluded that DMSO brought significant relief to the majority of patients. They recommended the drug for all inflammatory conditions not caused by infection or tumor in which symptoms were severe or patients failed to respond to conventional therapy.9  <br><br>
Stephen Edelson, MD, F.A.A.F.P., F.A.A.E.M., who practices medicine at the Environmental and Preventive Health Center of Atlanta, has used DMSO extensively for 4 years. "We use it intravenously as well as locally," he says. "We use it for all sorts of inflammatory conditions, from people with rheumatoid arthritis to people with chronic low back inflammatory-type symptoms, silicon immune toxicity syndromes, any kind of autoimmune process. <br><br>
"DMSO is not a cure," he continues. "It is a symptomatic approach used while you try to figure out why the individual has the process going on. When patients come in with rheumatoid arthritis, we put them on IV DMSO, maybe three times a week, while we are evaluating the causes of the disease, and it is amazing how free they get. It really is a dramatic treatment." <br><br>
As for side effects, Dr. Edelson says: "Occasionally, a patient will develop a headache from it, when used intravenously--and it is dose related." He continues: "If you give a large dose, [the patient] will get a headache. And we use large doses. I have used as much as 30ÝmlÝIV over a couple of hours. The odor is a problem. Some men have to move out of the room [shared] with their wives and into separate bedrooms. That is basically the only problem." <br><br>
DMSO was the first nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory discovered since aspirin. Mr. Bristol believes that it was that discovery that spurred pharmaceutical companies on to the development on other varieties of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories. "Pharmaceutical companies were saying that if DMSO can do this, so can other compounds," says Mr. Bristol. "The shame is that DMSO is less toxic and has less int he way of side effects than any of them." <br><br>
<b><u>Collagen and Scleroderma</b></u></big> <br><br>
Scleroderma is a rare, disabling, and sometimes fatal disease, resulting form an abnormal buildup of collagen in the body. The body swells, the skin--particularly on hands and face--becomes dense and leathery, and calcium deposits in joints cause difficulty of movement. Fatigue and difficulty in breathing may ensue. Amputation of affected digits may be necessary. The cause of scleroderma is unknown, and, until DMSO arrived, there was no known effective treatment. <br><br>
Arthur Scherbel, MD, of the department of rheumatic diseases and pathology at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, conducted a study using DMSO with 42 scleroderma patients who had already exhausted all other possible therapies without relief. Dr. Scherbel and his coworkers concluded 26 of the 42 showed good or excellent improvement. Histotoxic changes were observed together with healing of ischemic ulcers on fingertips, relief from pain and stiffness, and an increase in strength. The investigators noted, "It should be emphasized that these have never been observed with any other mode of therapy."10 Researchers in other studies have since come to similar conclusions.11  <br><br>
<b><u>Does DMSO Help Arthritis? </b></u></big> <br><br>
It was inevitable that DMSO, with its pain-relieving, collagen-softening, and anti-inflammatory characteristics, would be employed against arthritis, and its use has been linked to arthritis as much as to any condition. Yet the FDA has never given approval for this indication and has, in fact, turned down three Investigational New Drug (IND) applications to conduct extensive clinical trials. <br><br>
Moreover, its use for arthritis remains controversial. Robert Bennett, MD, F.R.C.P., F.A.C.R., F.A.C.P., professor of medicine and chief, division of arthritis and rheumatic disease at Oregon Health Sciences University (Dr. Jacob's university), says other drugs work better. Dava Sobel and Arthur Klein conducted their own informal study of 47 arthritis patients using DMSO in preparation for writing their book, Arthritis: What Works, and came to the same conclusion.12  <br><br>
Yet laboratory studies have indicated that DMSO's capacity as a free-radical scavenger suggests an important role for it in arthritis.13 The Committee of Clinical Drug Trials of the Japanese Rheumatism Association conducted a trial with 318 patients at several clinics using 90 percent DMSO and concluded that DMSO relieved joint pain and increased range of joint motion and grip strength, although performing better in more recent cases of the disease.14 It is employed widely in the former Soviet Union for all the different types of arthritis, as it is in other countries around the world. <br><br>
Dr. Jacob remains convinced that it can play a significant role in the treatment of arthritis. "You talk to veterinarians associated with any race track, and you'll find there's hardly an animal there that hasn't been treated with DMSO. No veterinarian is going to give his patient something that does not work. There's no placebo effect on a horse." <br><br>
<b><u>DMSO and Central Nervous System Trauma</b></u></big> <br><br>
Since 1971, Dr. de la Torre, then at the University of Chicago, has experimented using DMSO with injury to the central nervous system. Working with laboratory animals, he discovered that DMSO lowered intracranial pressure faster and more effectively than any other drug. DMSO also stabilized blood pressure, improved respiration, and increased urine output by five times and increased blood flow through the spinal cord to areas of injury.15-17 Since then, DMSO has been employed with human patients suffering severe head trauma, initially those whose intracranial pressure remained high despite the administration of mannitol, steroids, and barbiturates. In humans, as well as animals, it has proven the first drug to significantly lower intracranial pressure, the number one problem with severe head trauma. <br><br>
"We believe that DMSO may be a very good product for stroke," says Dr. de la Torre, "and that is a devastating illness which affects many more people than head injury. We have done some preliminary clinical trials, and there's a lot of animal data showing that it is a very good agent in dissolving clots." <br><br>
<b><u>Other Possible Applications for DMSO</b></u></big> <br><br>
Many other uses for DMSO have been hypothesized from its known qualities hand have been tested in the laboratory or in small clinical trials. Mr. Bristol speaks with frustration about important findings that have never been followed up on because of the difficulty in finding funding and because "to have on your resume these days that you've worked on DMSO is the kiss of death." It is simply too controversial. A sampling of some other possible applications for this drug follows. <br><br>
DMSO as long been used to promote healing. People who have it on hand often use it for minor cuts and burns and report that recovery is speedy. Several studies have documented DMSO use with soft tissue damage, local tissue death, skin ulcers, and burns.18-21  <br><br>
In relation to cancer, several properties of DMSO have gained attention. In one study with rats, DMSO was found to delay the spread of one cancer and prolong survival rates with another.22 In other studies, it has been found to protect noncancer cells while potentiating the chemotherapeutic agent. <br><br>
Much has been written recently about the worldwide crisis in antibiotic resistance among bacteria (see Alternative & Complementary Therapies, Volume 2, Number 3, 1996, pages 140-144) Here, too, DMSO may be able to play a role. Researcher as early as 1975 discovered that it could break down the resistance certain bacteria have developed.23  <br><br>
In addition to its ability to lower intracranial pressure following closed head injury, Dr. de la Torre's work suggests that the drug may actually have the ability to prevent paralysis, given its ability to speedily clean out cellular debris and stop the inflammation that prevents blood from reaching muscle, leading to the death of muscle tissue. <br><br>
With its great antioxidant powers, DMSO could be used to mitigate some of the effects of aging, but little work has been done to investigate this possibility. Toxic shock, radiation sickness, and septicemia have all been postulated as responsive to DMSO, as have other conditions too numerous to mention here. <br><br>
<b><u>DMSO in the Future</b></u></big> <br><br>
Will DMSO ever sit on the shelves of pharmacies in this country as a legal prescriptive for many of the conditions it may be able to address? Will the studies we need to discover when this drug is most appropriate ever be done? Given the difficulties the drug has run into so far and the recent development of new drugs that perform some of the same functions, Mr. Bristol is doubtful. Others, however, such as Dr. Jacob and Dr. de la Torre, see the FDA approval of DMSO for interstitial cystitis and the more recent FDA go-ahead for DMSO trials with closed head injury as new indications of hope. The cystitis approval means that physicians may use it at their discretion for other uses, giving DMSO a new legitimacy. <br><br>
Dr. Jacob continues to believe that DMSO should not even be called a drug but is more correctly a new therapeutic principle, with an effect on medicine that will be profound in many areas. Whether that is true cannot be known without extensive a publicly reported trials, which are dependent on the willingness of researchers to undertake rigorous studies in this still-unfashionable tack and of pharmaceutical companies and other investors to back them up. That this is a live issue is proved by the difficulty the investigators with approval to test DMSO for closed head injury clinically are having finding funds to conduct the trials. <br><br>
In 1980, testifying before the Select Committee on Agin of the U.S. House of Representatives, Dr. Scherbel said, "The controversy that exists over the clinical effectiveness of DMSO is not well-founded--clinical effectiveness may be variable in different patients. If toxicity is consistently minimal, the drug should not be restricted from practice. The clinical effectiveness of DMSO can be decided with complete satisfaction if the drug is made available to the practicing physician. The number of patient complaints about pain and the number of phone calls to the doctor's office will decide quickly whether or not the drug is effective." <br><br>
It may be premature to call for the full rehabilitation of DMSO, but it is time to call for a full investigation of its true range of capabilities. <br><br>

<b><u>Dental Hygiene and Sweet Wheat</b></u><br><br>
Many people are aware that they can replace their multi-vitamin with Sweet Wheat due to its complete nutrients, but did you know it could replace your toothpaste?<br><br>

Yes it’s true; you can brush your teeth with Sweet Wheat! Many of our clients are finding whiter teeth and healthier gums as a result of brushing with Sweet Wheat.
You can use a small amount of powder on your toothbrush and literally brush your teeth clean. I like to open a capsule and use a small amount in the morning then close the cap and use the rest later in the day. The added benefit is that not only do your teeth get sparkling clean but the mucosal membranes in your mouth absorb nutrients quite quickly, especially when a substance is soluble like Sweet Wheat. Gargling with Sweet Wheat and holding it in your mouth for a period of time allows for greater absorption into your blood and there is no worry of swallowing any harmful chemicals!  <br><br>
Many people write to us about their receding gums halting and coming back to a healthy state. We have had some dentists measure the effects Sweet Wheat has had on receding gums and they were amazed with the results. In fact, our treasurer, Debra, had severe dental issues to a point where there were open pockets in her gums and her teeth were loosening. She decided to start brushing with Sweet Wheat and within days she noticed an improvement. She has continued brushing with Sweet Wheat since then and her gums along with her teeth have never been healthier. I believe it is the immediate and full absorption of nutrients, as well as the anti-bacterial properties that make this possible. <br><br>

Different parts of the mouth have different degrees of permeability and by brushing and swishing Sweet Wheat in your mouth you get on all of the surfaces. People with disorders of the mouth including gingivitis and pyorrhea are seeing benefits in short periods of time after using Sweet Wheat. <br><br>
Sweet Wheat’s high chlorophyll content also acts as a breath freshener! Dr. Ward Bond of “Nutritional Living” calls Sweet Wheat the Swiss Army knife of supplements, and is what he’d choose if he were stranded on an island and could only have one supplement. <br><br>


<b><u>Sweet Wheat Benefits Diabetes</u></b><br><br>

Diabetes is a metabolic disease in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the body does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. Supply and demand for fuel is compromised in a diabetic body. Diets that raise insulin levels are high in refined carbohydrates, refined sugar, high calorie meals, low in fiber and fresh foods. Does this sound like you? <br><br>
Eating this way raises insulin in your blood and reduces insulin in your cells. <br><br>
Diabetes can do considerable damage to the pancreas, kidneys, retinas of the eye and liver among other things. <br><br>

Your body readily does two jobs that a Diabetic metabolism cannot perform, which is sending glucose for energy across membrane walls and to convert glucose fuel in the liver into glycogen. <br><br>
 Sweet Wheat can be a great addition to a diabetic healing protocol. It has been studied at The Hippocrates Health Institute and The Optimum Health Institute, that supplementation of wheatgrass juice daily, along with wheatgrass juice implants have helped many overcome this deadly disease. Wheat grass juice used daily in therapeutic servings of 3 ounces to 6 ounces has been the protocol many diabetic customers have used to see fantastic results. Below are several testimonials from Diabetic sufferers who have tried Sweet Wheat with outstanding results. They have achieved these results within 3 months or less of consistently using Sweet Wheat! <br><br>

Optimum Health Institute encourages clients to continue Sweet Wheat supplementation after they return to their daily life, as it is the highest quality wheatgrass juice on the market that they have researched and implemented in their protocol. They take a tray with Sweet Wheat powder along with competitors products and powders and use Hydrogen Peroxide drops to test for active enzymes and Sweet Wheat wins every time. Sweet Wheat has every trace mineral in a form that your body can absorb. They are exacting amounts that only nature could have balanced. Sweet Wheat also provides enzymes which are essential for the absorption of glucose. Your pancreas can become taxed by a high carb, high calorie diet. It has a job of it’s own to do after all! Your pancreas produces insulin, but also works diligently producing lipase, amylase, proteases, tryptase, cellulase and others. The less living enzymes your body receives daily the harder your poor pancreas has to work to help digest foods. In turn it requests help from other organs, like the kidney and liver to take on the extra load of work. Suddenly, you are exhausted, I mean really exhausted, your organs are just about asking for a sabbatical. <br><br>

Nutrient dense supplementation of trace minerals and enzymes allow them a much needed siesta. The high chlorophyll content in Sweet Wheat cleanses and detoxifies the blood and organs as they go through the Sweet Wheat car wash. Toxins are expelled with your stool, urine and sweat, and organs are rejuvenated with nutrients like chromium, zinc and B6, all prevalent in Sweet Wheat, which have proven abilities to benefit diabetics. <br><br>

Chromium rich foods added to the diet should be considered by diabetics and those suffering from pre-diabetic symptoms.  According to HA Schroder of Dartmouth Medical Center, white sugar is stripped of all trace mineral content during the refining process. His diabetic patients treated with chromium showed lowered glucose and blood fat levels. <br><br>

Changing your diet to one which adheres to a diet rich in nutrient dense fresh foods, complex carbs, fresh water and exercise has done wonders for diabetes sufferers. It has been shown that avoiding sugar could give a boosted resistance to infection. Try to make a change a day. Start with Sweet Wheat alone if you like. Kathy Wright, whose testimonial is below used supplementation of Sweet Wheat alone and was able to reduce her daily blood sugar levels dramatically. Many customers are using 3 ounces, ( 2 caps or ½ tsp of powder 3x a day, in AM, Midday, and at Bedtime), to 6 ounces as Finus Wright has done. ( ½ tsp or 2 caps 6 x a day). Naturally as your body cleanses its toxins and your body repairs itself, you will begin feeling better with the duration. You will begin craving nutrient dense foods and clean water. Exercise will not be a chore anymore. You will want to move your body and you may find new and exciting ways to enjoy your new healthy life! <br><br>




<b><u>Sweet Wheat TESTIMONIALS from Diabetic customers</u></b><br><br>

<b>I ate Sweet Wheat and…</b> <br><br>
Sweet Wheat brought my blood sugar down from 200 to 106 on a regular basis. It has even gone down to 97 on several occasions when taking it. I still take my diabetes medication two times a day but plan to be rid of my diabetes soon. <br><br>

I started on a diet awhile back where I was not allowed to eat any grains so I was worried that I couldn’t eat Sweet Wheat because it is, after all, from wheat. However, Linda (my account rep) assured me it was OK because the wheatgrass juice is gluten free and I started taking it. <br><br>

I lost 5 pounds right away and 5 more pounds a little later. I am feeling better and I finally noticed I don’t have carpal tunnel syndrome anymore after having it for at least 20 years! <br><br>
It’s really hard to notice the good changes in our lives but so easy to notice the bad. <br><br>

My account rep called me every few weeks to check up and helped me a lot. I would like to thank her as well since I would not have continued with the product and achieved these results without her. <br><br>
I will never stop taking Sweet Wheat as long as I can afford it! <br><br>

         <b>  Kathy Wright  - Waverly, KS.</b><br><br>

<b>I ate Sweet Wheat and…</b><br><br>
My Blood Sugar was between 200 and 300 and nothing could bring it down for over a year. I noticed my wife’s blood sugar came down and all with just taking Sweet Wheat. Now my blood sugar goes to 103 and what a real relief to my wife and I. We were really worried about it. <br><br>

We both feel better since taking Sweet Wheat. My wife tells me that taking it is like eating more greens in one day than we could eat in several days. That’s really a plus to us because I’m not much on eating vegetables. <br><br>

We plan to always keep Sweet Wheat in our lives forever. <br><br>
 
           <b>Finus Wright – Waverly, KS. </b> <br><br>

<b>I ate Sweet Wheat and… </b><br><br>
Three years ago, my daughter was diagnosed with Type1 Diabetes at the age of nine.  She has had further complications due to mal-absorption, gluten sensitivity, and an underactive thyroid.
Although we’ve been able to manage this devastating disease, it requires a lot of time, energy, and supervision to ensure the best possible health and future for her. <br><br>
	
Her condition has improved since our life style choice of a Raw Food diet with supplements. One of the best supplements introduced by a friend has been Sweet Wheat. I have been thrilled at how her digestion has improved and at her substantially increased energy levels within days of beginning Sweet Wheat. <br><br>

It gladdens my heart to see her so full of life and vitality. As time continues, I expect to see even more progress in Kolaiah’s health. <br><br>

<b><u>Agaricus Enhances the Body’s Natural Defenses</b></u><br><Br><br>
 
Agaricus blazei murill (most commonly known simply as Agaricus) is a mushroom that originated in the rain forests of Brazil. The mushroom thrives in certain tropical areas of China and the Chinese have become the premier growers of Agaricus to the world. Agaricus is traditionally known as “God’s Mushroom” because of its near miraculous curative benefits to a wide range of disorders. People have used it to overcome numerous diseases and disorders relating to the immune system, cardiovascular system, digestion, weight management, diabetes, chronic and acute allergies, cataracts, hearing difficulties, stress syndrome, chronic fatigue, diarrhea, constipation, and certain disorders of the liver. It is not recommended to use if you have liver disease.<Br><br>
 
Several studies have documented this mushroom’s ability to activate various components of the immune system. <Br><br>
 
The active constituents were identified as the polysaccharide-protein complexes called Beta-1,6-D-glucan and an almost identical chemical, Beta-1,3-D-glucan. These glucans have been found to be remarkable immune stimulants. They are potent macrophage activators. These glucan polysaccharides work through the “glucan receptor” on the surface of the immensely important immune cells known as macrophages. Macrophages are our first line of defense and play the pivotal role in our immune response to any attack by any intruder. Macrophages are the immune cells that recognize, engulf and destroy any organisms, cells, and substances that don’t belong in the body, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, yeast, heavy metals, pollutants, bits of dead tissue, mutated cells, tumor cells, etc. They take on any challenge and further stimulate the immune system to respond. <Br><br>
 
Macrophages ignite intercellular communication by releasing chemical messengers called cytokines (interferon and interleukin). These cytokines are powerful proteins responsible for catalyzing and regulating several immune responses within the body. Agaricus stimulates the production of cytokines. Macrophages can travel from the site of their first contact with an intruder or toxin to the lymph system, where it communicates with T-cells, activating a specific immune response. Specific antibodies are then built to combat the specific intruder. Agaricus promotes this essential immune response. Beta-1,6-D-glucan and Beta-1,3-D-glucan have been shown to have inhibitory effects on abnormal cell growths. It has been proposed that Beta-1,6-D-glucan and Beta-1,3-D-glucan may stimulate cell lysing (destroying) action in specialized immune system cells. <Br><br>
 
Thus researchers have found the Agaricus polysaccharide fraction to have significant immune activating power. Agaricus mushroom has also been shown to have potent chemopreventive activity. <Br><br>
 
Agaricus in now being used clinically all over Asia for numerous diseases and disorders. However, it is also being consumed as a food and as a tonic herb, since Agaricus is a gentle, edible mushroom that has no side effects. <Br><br>
 
Agaricus mushroom is by far the richest natural source of Beta-1,6-D-glucan and Beta-1,3-D-glucan known to mankind.  Other herbs that contain similar polysaccharides include Reishi mushroom, Astragalus root, Cordyceps mushroom, Polyporus mushroom and Shitake mushroom, and all are used around the world to boost immune functions. <Br><br>
 
By enhancing the body’s natural defenses, this humble mushroom is a powerful protector. It should be consumed daily to maintain its powerful tonic effect on the immune system.   <Br><br>
 
The four great "longevity mushrooms" combined into one extraordinary elixir. All four herbs are known for their powerful tonic and protective benefits. These are the four most powerful immune stimulating mushrooms in the world, and probably the most powerful immune stimulating herbs. These herbs are all very excellent tonic herbs which protect the body and help it to ward off invasion with utmost ferocity. <Br><br>
 
This is as potent an immune system protector as you can find. It contains the three strongest immune modulators known to Chinese herbalism, which is saying a lot. Agaricus is arguably the most potent immune modulator in the world. Reishi spores are 70 times more potent as an immune system modulator than Reishi mushrooms (and Reishi mushrooms are one of the strongest immune modulators in the world). Lycium polysaccharides have been demonstrated to have very potent immune potentiating action. This formula will build your immune system. Similar (but less potent) formulas based on Reishi spores are being sold in Hong Kong and Japan for over $500 for a month's supply. <Br><br>

&#9829; All Ages  &#9829; All Races &#9829; All Cultures </b></big><br><br>

<b>In your hands you hold a gift from nature with the power to create:</b>
<li> Vibrant Health   
<li> Environmental Restoration  
<li> Connection & Friendship <br><br>
Right now we are being called to live a new way rooted in right relation with all things.  Our heartfelt thanks for your help in creating peace around the world. <br><br>
<b>Note:</b> To get the longest life out of your set, play on soft surfaces and take special care of these lightweight sticks. <br><br>
<b><u>Origin</b></u> <br><Br>
This Practice came to my brother and I six years ago in a sacred Old Growth Oak Forest. We feel it is the reemergence of an ancient game with the ability to reawaken our natural wild instincts and create friendship.  Since then we have been listening and refining the art of making peace sticks. <br><Br>
<b><u>About your Peace Sticks</b></u> <br><Br>
In every step we have made choices that we believe will create Peace.
These sticks are made from a bamboo like plant called Arrundo.  They are lightweight, and sanded so that you can play safely at the highest levels. <br><Br>
<a href="http://s867.photobucket.com/albums/ab237/rawworldservice/?action=view&current=psplay1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i867.photobucket.com/albums/ab237/rawworldservice/psplay1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
<br><br>

<b><u>Human Touch</b></u> <br><Br>
Children and members of our tribe painted these sticks with their fingers and an intention of peace.  In this way the sticks are carrying life energy.  When each person plays we are literally connecting our hands together.  Feel free to paint on these sticks with your fingers and your children’s and friend’s fingers to continue the world peace connection.  **** The paint has not been sealed or lacquered.  May wear off after a period of time. <br><Br>
<b><u>Eco Harvested</b></u> <br><Br> Hand chosen sticks from the riverbeds of our home Ojai, CA.  Arrundo is an invasive species that crowds out native Species, so by harvesting it we are creating space for the local species to thrive helping to restore the habitat. <br><Br>
<b><u>Eco Made and Fair Trade</b></u> <br><Br>
Our circle of friends harvests, crafts, and ships from our hometown of Ojai Valley, thus using the least possible amount of fossil fuels. <br><Br>
<b><u>Nothing goes to waste</b></u> <br><Br>
Our Peace Circles are Made with %100 recycled paper, and soy and vegetable based inks and wrapped in reusable hemp string..  A young kid made a necklace with the string and the circle.  Be creative, make something, and pass it on as a gift of peace. <br><Br>
<b><u>Play for the Environment</b></u> <br><Br>
Because Arrundo is an invasive species, it is routinely sprayed with a toxic herbicide mixture, poisoning natural waterways and all the plants animals and humans that swim in and drink this water.  
We are partnering with Pesticide Free Ojai to stop the spraying, find new solutions such as Peace Sticks, and restore our natural environment.  For more info. go to PesticideFreeOjaiValley.org. <br><Br>
<b><u>How you can further Support World Peace</b></u> <br><Br>
1) Share the practice of Peace Sticks and connect humanity in a web of friendship. <br>
2) Donate to our Indiegogo fund raising campaign “Peace Sticks 2012” world Documentary at http://igg.me/p/55720 and on our website PeaceSticks.com. <br>
3) Join us for workshops, teachers training courses, and our world tour. <br>
4) Invite us for a peace sticks teaching. <br><br>
<b><u>How to Play in 7 steps.  </b></u> <br><Br>
1.  Find a nice soft place to play.  Bare feet is best. <br>
2.  Stand face to face and palms to palms with the Peace Sticks in between your hands.  Look into each other’s eyes and take 3 breaths in unity.  Then each person takes a stick in the left hand.  Say “Inner Peace” as you take 1 step back, “Outer Peace,” on the 2nd step back and “World Peace” on the 3rd step back. <br>
3.  Look at each other’s hearts and on the exhale throw simultaneously. <br>
4.  Use your whole body to move fluidly with the sticks and create a rhythm.  Moving your feet is essential to staying fluid, and as you play feel free to move in any direction. <br>
5.  Make each throw so that it helps your partner as much as possible.  <br>
4.  As soon as you catch a stick throw it back immediately.  This helps the rhythm. <br>
5.  When a stick falls, stay relaxed, let it stay on the ground and keep your focus to catch the next stick.  Throw back the one you caught, pick up the stick on the ground and throw it back in the same rhythm.  This allows the game to flow continuously. <br>
6.  If you have two sticks at once throw them both. <br>
7.  You can play at any distance and with more than 2 people. <br><br>
<b>* Help spread peace by playing with new people.  Be open to a completely unique experience with each person. For more teaching tips and peace stick films visit our website   PeaceSticks.com     One Love Aho </b>

<b>Rooibos</b> tea from the Cape in South Africa is famous for its concentration of antioxidants and polyphenols.  It is naturally caffeine-free and low in tannins so you can drink it all day.  In an age-old method, Rooibos is harvested and fermented to liberate its broad spectrum of phytonutrients including Aspalathin, Quercetin, Orientin and Chrysoeriol. A patented water extraction process ensures maximum antioxidant values.<br><br>

<li> High antioxidant, great tasting tea
<li> Boosts glutathione levels
<li> Naturally Caffeine-Free
<li> Low tanins No chemicals used to process
<li> Suitable for infants, athletes and seniors
<li> No dairy, gluten, yeast, corn, sugar, flavors.  
<li> No chemicals are used to process Rooibos P.E.
<li> No added flavors or preservatives. <b>Simply nothing added.</b> <br><br>

Rooibos is a high antioxidant, caffeine-free tea.  Special water extraction process ensures high antioxidant values.<br><br>

<li> Servings per container: 196
<li> Amount per serving: 1/4 Teaspoon<br><br>

<b>Suggessted Use:</b>  Mix ¼ teaspoon in 6-8oz of water.  Serve hot or chilled. <br><br>

Dr. Carl Albrecht from South Africa’s Medical Research Council has been studying the positive effect of Rooibos and increased glutathione levels in animals. In a separate study, Jeanine Marnewick, PhD of the Cape University of
Technology found that healthy volunteers elevated their blood glutathione levels by 100%, drinking 6 cups of Rooibos tea per day for three months. Rooibos is an excellent tea for its antioxidant protective nutrients especially Aspalathin and Quercetin.<br><br>

A collaborative study by scientists at four international research facilities has found the first clinical evidence that drinking rooibos significantly increases the antioxidant capacity in human blood, thereby boosting the body’s natural defenses. Researchers in Rome and Glasgow found that the antioxidant
capacity in the blood of 15 healthy volunteers peaked one hour after drinking 500ml ready-to-drink rooibos. “On the basis of the results of our study, we conclude that Rooibos is able to deliver antioxidant ingredients to the body, thereby stimulating the body’s internal redox network,” says Professor Mauro
Serafini, leader of this research project and Head of the Antioxidant Research Laboratory at INRAN, a nutrition research institute in Rome, Italy. “It is highly possible that, once absorbed in the circulatory stream, the unique ingredients of Rooibos may display other biological activities in the human body. Further intervention studies are under way in humans to investigate the
effect of Rooibos on the body’s management of cardiovascular health.”
