MORE INFORMATION

Chinese herbs and natural medicines have been used for thousands of years to help people feel better, with the intent of promoting deep and lasting health improvements safely and effectively. As you read this, many are being used to treat illness and restore normal bodily function everyday. One of the most appealing qualities of herbal therapy is the low risk of adverse reaction or side effects, especially when compared to certain pharmaceutical drugs. Chinese medicinals have accumulated a sizable pharmacoepeia based on actual human trials compared to the United States and other countries; thereby they are unsurpassed in number, sophistication, and documentation.

Unfortunately, alternative health care is under attack by mainstream medical corporations who focus profit and population control by keeping us away from herbs and on synthetic drugs. Deceptive marketing and corruption of regulatory and educational institutions keeps many from ever knowing the truth. To ethically serve and protect clients from disinformation, we provide for you today the defining qualities of the herbals in our formula.

Many of today's drugs and medicines were originally derived from combinations of plants and other items found in nature. Some well-known examples of plant-derived drugs include quinine, morphine, codeine, and aspirin. Drugs of practically any pharmacological category can be found among Chinese medicinals, too. We are not suggesting that you ignore the help of trained medical professionals when you need it. We simply want you to know you have additional options. Often the most effective treatment for many ailments involves a responsible blend of better eating habits, regular exercise, detoxifying the system, and using both modern and traditional treatments.

The emphasis on herb use for health is usually to restore balance rather than accelerated healing and fighting disease. Most countries use herbs for health. The successful health-care system in most developed countries is due to the support provided by traditional medicine combined with alternative treatments (which are used simultaneously to reduce side effects and stress and to increase well-being). Oriental Medicine and Ayurvedic Medicine include herbal therapies and until this past century, family doctors in the United States readily accepted plant remedies over drugs for various ailments. However, as medical technology advanced, most physicians in America lost touch.

Recently, the media's attack on natural remedies has crippled natural products even further and prevented them from getting to people who need them. In addition, while herbal medicine is prominent in developed countries, they also use a rational approach, and are therefore experiencing a growth of popular interest and renewed respect. People in the Unites States, however, still fail to understand the benefit of using herbal products and plant-derived medicines over synthetic alternatives, unaware that they are relatively safer and more affordable for treatment.

This is probably because there are no standards or licenses for the practice of herbalists in the United States . Herbalists are in fact, not recognized by law in any state for practice. Anyone can claim they are an herbalist without regulation. There is no accreditation available for even the best schools. Consequently, this has led most people to believe that even the very knowledgeable and authoritative sources with good hearts are quacks peddling plants, or even worse, street pimps.

Many herbalists actively teach and practice therapeutic herbalism but it is not paying off. Most believe that their knowledge is important and that herbal medicine will emerge as present-day thinking changes with the acceptance of alternative medicinal therapies. Then the good herbalists will be acknowledged. Right now, however, there is no legal basis to diagnose or prescribe herbs in the United States .

Medicinal Herbalists trained and licensed in other countries such as England practice and teach in the United States but again, without state recognition or national approval. Naturopathic Doctors are trained to use herbs and may be licensed in some states to prescribe herbs but does society take them seriously? Both Medicinal Herbalists and Naturopathic Doctors are trained in the same diagnostic skills as medical doctors but are taught to use a more holistic range of therapies without the use of pharmaceutical assistance.

Herbal therapies focus on the root causes, more than the symptoms of degenerative diseases that continue to defy modern medical care. Herbal remedies are less toxic and less expensive than drugs, radiation, or surgical therapies. Nevertheless, the media also touts them as less effective. Is that true?

Plant materials and herbs are present in or have provided the models for a number of drugs used today, and drug companies continue to use modern science to explore their healing components. On the surface this looks favorable, but it is really more of a ploy to spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt, discrediting herbs and herbal medicine. They pretend they are looking into the validity but in reality, they want to create synthetic drugs to replace all herbs. Once they patent methods for manufacturing more drugs, you will be left with an array of side effects their pills offer that herbs do not. The toxicity of many drugs produces side effects that are full-blown diseases themselves. Back to square one. Who wins? The pharmacy, not you.

Naturalists know that there are real benefits to using whole plants instead of highly refined drugs. Instead of always seeking a specific chemical to force specific changes in body function, whole herbs provide a more balanced and synergistic mix of natural nutrients that work with the body. The body can easily use herb material to perform its own healing and from this perspective, most all herbs really are food supplements.

Except for the strongest herbs, the ones essentially accepted as wild herbs (marijuana, stimulants, etc.), people should be eating herbs daily to build health and thus prevent disease. Everything in our Internal Cleansing System has shown promising results in boosting your health and addressing your fitness goals, but none of which are anything more than food grade supplements. Just like the ones used in ancient and modern Chinese Medicine.

The satisfaction of enjoying uncommonly good health and watching your body look better and better is profoundly rewarding.
