Horned Reishi
Reishi is
commonly prescribed in China for the treatment of chronic hepatitis. In
treatments lasting 2 to 15 weeks, the overall rate of efficiency was 70.7 to
98.0%.(4) In Japan, Reishi extract has been reported to be effective in
treating patients with liver failure.(1) In animal studies of mice with carbon
tetrachloride-induced hepatitis, the extent of liver damage was significantly
inhibited by continuous dosing with Reishi tincture, and the regeneration of
the liver was promoted.(7) (From “The Medicine of Kings” – Entire article

Organic
Triphala
Ayurveda is
a 5,000 year-old healing tradition rooted in ancient Indian culture. This vast
body of healing knowledge--sometimes referred to as the Mother of All
Healing--has recently come to the attention of Western medical researchers
seeking novel therapeutic compounds. While screening a number of traditional
Vedic formulas scientists discovered that one of the most revered of all
Ayurvedic compounds-- Triphala--exhibits a number of health benefits,
including:
• Protects and improves liver function
• Lowers cholesterol
• Normalizes blood pressure
• Inhibits HIV
• Reduces tumors in animals

Organic
Burdock
Burdock
Root is an effective blood purifier containing iron which helps to clear toxins
from the body. It works by helping the
liver to cleanse itself from a build up of toxic substances.
It also helps
to relieve congestion of the lymphatic system. Burdock root increases in flow
of urine, relieves pain in the bladder and helps fight kidney and bladder
infection. It promotes perspiration which helps lower fevers. It also helps
reduce the swelling and deposits of joints and knuckles and breaks down
calcification
Organic Artichoke Leaf
Extract
Artichoke
Leaf Extract is known for its liver tonifying action and it is often used to mobilize fatty stores in the
liver. It aids in digestion and even helps lower cholesterol. It can
also help prevent heart disease and enhance detoxification in the body – which
further reduces stress on the liver.
Artichoke is used to increase bile production in the liver, increase the
flow of bile from the gallbladder, and to increases the contractive power of
the bile duct. These bile actions are beneficial in many gallbladder and liver
disorders.
In a recent
study, artichoke leaf extract relieved symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome
(IBS) and upset stomach (dyspepsia). IBS is characterized by abdominal
discomfort with alternating constipation and diarrhea. Many of those with IBS
also experience dyspepsia or upper abdominal pain without any apparent cause.
Researchers at the University of
Reading, England, enrolled over 200 adults with IBS in an open-label (no
placebo) study for two months. Doctors used the Nepean Dyspepsia Index to
measure symptoms and improvements both before and after treatment. Of those
taking the artichoke leaf, 26% reported fewer IBS symptoms and more normal
bowel function. Upset stomach also improved in 41% of participants.

and Complementary Medicine; 2004,Vol. 10, No. 4, 667-9.
N Acetyl
Cysteine
N-acetyl
cysteine (NAC) is an amino acid and antioxidant that protects the liver from
damage from advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and the effects of a
high-fat diet. N-acetyl cysteine increases production of the antioxidant
glutathione in the liver. The liver uses glutathione to help break down toxins.
Several scientific articles have found a direct link between glutathione levels
and hepatitis B and C viral activity. When viral load increases, glutathione
decreases. Researchers have reported that adding NAC to hepatitis-B producing
cell lines can reduce hepatitis viral load up to 50 fold.
Quercetin
Quercetin is a plant
pigment found in many foods such as onions, apples, berries, tea, grapes and
red wine. It's classified as a flavonoid and a beneficial anti-oxidant,
anti-inflammatory, and anti-histamine. Quercetin is used in many countries as a
vasoprotector. The liver of rats given toxins
was much better protected when they were pre-treated with quercetin.
Organic
Cranberry Powder
Cranberries were historically
used in poultices for treating wounds. Cranberry leaves were also typically
used for diarrhea and urinary disorders and maintaining proper urinary tract
health.
CRANBERRY provides an
excellent source of condensed tannins (proanthocyanidins) - phenolic compounds
that studies have shown to significantly reduce the ability for certain
bacteria to attach to cells. Organic cranberry powder is an excellent source of
bioavailable Vitamin C which boosts the absorption of other nutrients and works
as a cofactor many vital immune system processes.
ProCoQ10
ProCoQ10 is
a highly bioavailable water-soluble form of CoenzymeQ10 which dramatically cuts
DNA damage and supports high level immune function. Along with its key role in
energy production in mitochondria, it helps to prevent heart failure, kidney
failure, and high blood pressure.
CoEnzymeQ10’s
role in liver health cannot be overstated and its lack can be a limiting factor
in rebuilding healthy liver cells. Your
daily intake of ProCoQ10 with UltraLiver8 is equal to the levels used in recent
human clinical trials (30mg/day) which showed an average 51% reduction in DNA
damage for participants.
It’s the
broad spectrum actions of these EIGHT foundational nutrients that makes
UltraLiver8 a top formula for support of Liver recovery and wellness.

Organic Reishi Mushroom:
'The
Medicine of Kings'
By VRP
Staff
For over
2000 years the Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) has been recognized by
Chinese medical professionals as a valuable remedy. Its Chinese name Lingzhi,
means spiritual potency. Reishi mushrooms are regarded by the Chinese as the
Medicine of Kings. Dr. Shi-Jean Lee, the most famous Chinese medical doctor of
the Ming Dynasty, strongly endorsed the effectiveness of Reishi in his famous
book, Ban Chao Gang Moo (Great Pharmacopoeia). He stated that the long-term
taking of Reishi (Lingzhi) will build a strong, healthy body and assure a long
life.(2)
A Mushroom for the
Nerves
Reishi mushrooms
have been traditionally recommended by Chinese and Japanese herbalists for
insomnia due to their sleep-promoting factor.(1) Long-term use causes a significant
promotion of slow wave sleep.(1) Reishi mushrooms are prescribed in China for a
number of psychiatric and neurological afflictions, including diseases
involving the muscles, anorexia, and debility following lengthy illnesses.(3)
In Japan,
the dried mycelium of Reishi, the root-like body that produces mushrooms, has
been found to be highly effective in the treatment of neuroses caused by
environmental stress.(1) In addition, in an eight-month study of Alzheimers
disease, patients taking a Reishi mycelium product demonstrated significant
improvement.
In China,
Reishi is used for its muscle relaxing and analgesic (pain-inhibiting) effects.
In one study, Reishi alleviated anxiety in 18 of 20 patients after four months
use. It was concluded that the mushroom has an essentially calmative function,
but is neither a narcotic nor a hypnotic.
Reishi as a Cardiotonic
For
centuries, Reishi has been known as a cardiotonic herb. It was prescribed
routinely to those with a knotted and tight chest symptoms consistent with both
stress and/or coronary artery disease-related angina. Researchers in China
found that Reishi improved the blood flow and lowered oxygen consumption in the
heart muscle.(3) Similar results were also found by Japanese scientists.(1,4)
They found that Reishi contains ganoderic acids (which belong to a group of
natural substances called triterpenes) which lower high blood pressure, lower
cholesterol, and inhibit platelet aggregation (the clumping together of blood
cells), which can lead to heart attacks and other circulation problems. In
fact, Reishi's triterpenes are so important that in Japan they are used to
determine Reishi’s quality and authenticity.
In a
six-month clinical trial performed in a university hospital in Tokyo, nearly
half (47.5%) of 53 hypertensive patients lowered their blood pressure by 10-19
mmHg, and 10% of the subjects dropped their pressures 20-29 mmHg (both systolic
and diastolic readings) after taking Reishi extract.(1) Similar results were
observed in a Chinese clinical trial without any side-effects.(1) Another large
Reishi study in China found that low-density lipoprotein (LDL the harmful
cholesterol) levels dropped in 68% of 90 patients following only one to four
months of Reishi use.
Recently,
Russian scientists have taken an interest in Reishi. They found that in
addition to all the cardiovascular benefits mentioned above, Reishi showed a
significant preventive and therapeutic action against plaque build-up (plaque
is a fatty goo which is comprised of a combination of oxidized cholesterol,
calcium, and degenerated white blood cells [foam cells]. It is deposited on the
walls of arteries which restricts blood flow by narrowing the passage within
arteries resulting in atherosclerosis).
Reishi in Cancer
Research
Studies of
Reishi in cancer research have been largely conducted in Japan, where Reishi
was scientifically proven to have an anti-tumor effect. This research has
continued in Korea, Japan, and China.
Reishi
mushrooms help fight cancer in four ways ; the immune boosting properties of
this mushroom help T-cells to fight off cancer more effectively, the glucan
helps immune cells bind to tumor cells, canthaxanthin slows the growth of
tumors, and finally reishi mushrooms help reduce the overall number of
cancerous cells.
An example
of Reishi's cancer-fighting potential occurred in the summer of 1986. A
39-year-old Japanese woman approached Dr. Fukumi Morishige, M.D., Ph.D, a
renowned Japanese surgeon and a member of the Linus Pauling Institute of
Science and Medicine, for help in treating her lung cancer. It was a
complicated case, and she had been refused an operation by several hospitals.
Hopeless, she returned home where she found her husband had collected Reishi in
the forests. He boiled the mushroom and gave it to her to drink as a tea.
While this
was going on, she begged Dr. Morishige to do something for her cancer,
regardless of its very advanced stage. From what was evident six months
earlier, Morishige was surprised when he found no increase in swelling. Then he
looked at her X-rays. Something wasn't right: her tumor showed as only a trace
on the X-ray. When she told him she had been drinking Reishi tea, Morishige
operated with great curiosity. He was astonished to find only scar tissue, and
although cancerous cells remained, they were now benign.
That was
the impetus for Dr. Morishige to begin his studies of Reishi as a treatment for
cancer especially cases given up as hopeless. Dr. Morishige now believes that
Reishi is also an effective cancer preventive. The active anti-cancer
constituents in Reishi are called Beta-D-glucan. Beta-D-glucan is a polysaccharide--basically
a huge sugar molecule made up of many little sugar molecules chained together
bound to amino acids. These intricate sugars stimulate or modulate the immune
system by activating immune cells such as macrophage and helper T-cells, as
well as increase the immunoglobin levels (immunoglobins are specific types of
antibodies) to produce a heightened response to foreign cells, whether
bacteria, viruses, or tumor cells.
One
interesting and important finding by Dr. Morishige was that the effectiveness
of Reishi could be increased by combining it with high doses of vitamin C.
Polysaccharides are huge molecules absorbed by the body with difficulty.
Vitamin C helps to break down these huge molecules to much smaller molecules
called oligoglucan, which can be easily absorbed. Vitamin C thus increases the
bioavailability of Reishi, and therefore, synergistically increases Reishi's
immune-stimulating and anti-cancer effects.
Anti-Allergic
/Anti-Inflammatory Actions
During the
1970s and 1980s, Reishi's anti-allergy action became the subject of ongoing
research in both China and Japan. Studies showed that Reishi extract
significantly inhibited all four types of allergic reactions, including
positive effects against asthma and contact dermatitis. In 1990, researchers at
the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio found that Reishi
could be effectively used in treating stiff necks, stiff shoulders,
conjunctivitis (inflammation of the fine membrane lining the eye and eyelids),
bronchitis, rheumatism, and improving competence of the immune system without
any significant side-effects.(6)
Part of the
anti-inflammatory effect of Reishi may be due to its free radical scavenging
effect. Reishi extract significantly elevates the free radical scavenging ability
of the blood, especially against the particularly harmful hydroxyl radicals.
The hydroxyl radical scavenging effect of Reishi is so strong that even after
the Reishi extract was absorbed and metabolized the scavenging action still
continued.
Healing the Liver
Reishi is
commonly prescribed in China for the treatment of chronic hepatitis. In
treatments lasting 2 to 15 weeks, the overall rate of efficiency was 70.7 to
98.0%.(4) In Japan, Reishi extract has been reported to be effective in
treating patients with liver failure.(1) In animal studies of mice with carbon
tetrachloride-induced hepatitis, the extent of liver damage was significantly
inhibited by continuous dosing with Reishi tincture, and the regeneration of
the liver was promoted.(7)
Recent Applications
As the
Medicine of Kings, Reishi is widely used for different purposes. It is used for
symptomatic relief of arthritis and of menopausal anxiety. It is also used in
treating allergic asthma, hypertension, hypothyroidism, bronchitis, insomnia,
general anxiety and stress, and cardiovascular problems. Reishi also is often
the main ingredient in herbal formulas for immune dysfunction syndromes, such
as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
Dosage
Chinese
medical texts traditionally call for using 1.5 to 9 grams of dry mushroom per
day which approximates to 150 to 900 mg of concentrated Reishi extract.(1) For
serious problems like cancer, Dr. Morishige adjusted the dosage from 2 to 10
grams of Reishi extract per day.(1,5)

Organic Triphala
Modern
Health Benefits of Ancient Compound
By Jim
English
Ayurveda is
a 5,000 year-old healing tradition rooted in ancient Indian culture. This vast
body of healing knowledge, sometimes referred to as the Mother of All
Healing has recently come to the attention of Western medical researchers
seeking novel therapeutic compounds. While screening a number of traditional
Vedic formulas scientists discovered that one of the most revered of all
Ayurvedic compounds-- Triphala--exhibits a number of health benefits,
including:
• Exhibits antioxidant activity
• Lowers cholesterol
• Normalizes blood pressure
• Inhibits HIV
• Reduces tumors in animals, and
• Protects and improves liver function
Triphala
Triphala is
a botanical preparation comprised of equal parts of three herbal fruits: Harada
(Terminalia chebula, black myrobalan, The Buddha’s Chosen Herb), amla (Emblica
Harada (Terminalia chebula)
According
to the renowned herbalist, Dr. Michael Tierra, Tibetans so revere Harada
(Terminalia chebula) that the fruit is depicted in the hand of the Medicine
Buddha in sacred paintings (Fig. 1).1 Numerous studies have found that
Terminalia chebula (TC) supports digestion and aids in treating both acute and
chronic constipation.
Amla (Emblica officinalis)
Amla
(Emblica officinalis) is the edible fruit from a small tree native to India. As
with Terminalia chebula, EO has been shown to increase gastric emptying and to
possess a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity against a number of test
bacteria.2
Bihara
Bihara
fruit (Terminalia bellerica) is rich in protein (40 percent) and oils (35
percent), and is particularly high in the omega 3 essential fatty
acid--linoleic acid.
Gastrointestinal
Motility
Healthy
digestion requires the coordination of a complex pattern of contracting and
relaxing muscles in the stomach and intestines (gastric motility) for proper
digestion and absorption of nutrients. Gastrointestinal motility is disrupted
when the nerves and muscles of the GI tract fail to function in a strong or
coordinated fashion.
Motility
can be disrupted by stress, inflammation (i.e. Crohn’s disease), disease (i.e.
muscular dystrophy, systemic sclerosis and amyloidosis) and from use of
over-the-counter and prescription medications.
Symptoms of
motility disorder range from mild cases of heartburn and constipation to more
severe problems, such as chronic vomiting, nausea, cramping, bloating,
abdominal distention and diarrhea after eating. The most prevalent form of
motility disturbance is Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), which fully accounts
for 50 percent of all patients who go to a GI specialist.3
Safe
Alternative to Prokinetic Drugs
To increase
GI muscle contractions and improve gastric emptying, Western doctors often
prescribe prokinetic drugs such as Metoclopramide or Bethanechol. When
researchers compared the Triphala herb Harada (Terminalia chebula) to
prokinetic drugs they found that Terminalia chebula increased gastric emptying
by 86 percent, compared to 76 percent for metoclopramide. Since Terminalia is
free of side effects, the herb may be a useful alternative to the prokinetic drugs
currently available.4
Antibacterial Effects
Recently
published studies report that Terminalia exhibits antibacterial activity
against a number of bacterial species.5 One group of researchers found that
Terminalia is effective in inhibiting the urease activity of Helicobacter
pylori (H. pylori), a ubiquitous bacterium implicated in the development of
gastritis, ulcers and stomach cancers.6 Another research team has shown that
extracts of Terminalia chebula strongly inhibit the growth and adherence of Streptococcus
mutans (S. mutans.), a virulent cavity-inducing organism. Oral rinsing with an
extract of Terminalia chebula was found to significantly reduce both total
bacterial counts and streptococcal counts in saliva samples. The protective
effect lasted for up to 3 hours after rinsing, demonstrating a potential role
for TC in the prevention of dental caries.7
Antiviral Effects
Terminalia
has been found to possess antiviral activity. Researchers have reported that
Terminalia protects epithelial cells against influenza A virus, supporting the
traditional
use of
Terminalia for aiding in recovery from acute respiratory infections.8
Terminalia has also demonstrated therapeutic activity against herpes simplex
virus (HSV) in in vivo tests.9 These findings prompted a team of Japanese
researchers to investigate Terminalia’s effects on human cytomegalovirus (CMV).
They found that Terminalia was effective in inhibiting the replication of human
cytomegalovirus (CMV) in vitro and in immunosuppressed mice. Stating that
Terminalia chebula significantly suppressed MCMV (murine CMV) yields in lungs
of treated mice, the researchers concluded that Terminalia may be beneficial
for the prevention of CMV diseases in immunocompromised patients.10
Adaptogenic Benefits
Animal studies
show that when extracts of Terminalia were administered following induction of
anaphylactic shock, serum histamine levels were reduced, indicating that
Terminalia may possess a strong anti-anaphylactic action.11 Indian researchers
have also shown that Amla (Emblica officinalis) protected experimental animals
when exposed to a variety of biological, physical and chemical stressors. Oral
Emblica was shown to normalize phagocytic activity, fitting within the
definition of an adaptogen. Emblica was also found to protect tissues from
stress-induced free radical damage, with a strong affinity for cells involved
in prostaglandin synthesis.12
Antioxidant Effects
Because
Emblica officinalis fruit (commonly known as amla) is the world’s richest
source of natural vitamin C, researchers have attributed many of its
traditional benefits to its antioxidant properties.13 In one study amla was
found to be more effective than vitamin C in improving lipoprotein values and
glucose tolerance. Volunteers given amla were compared to controls receiving
500 mg/day of vitamin C. After 8 weeks the amla group showed significant
improvements in lipoprotein serum profiles, including increased HDL, decreased
LDL, and lower total cholesterol levels.14
In addition
to vitamin C, researchers at the Bose Institute in Calcutta, India have also
isolated a number of tannins in amla that exhibit potent antioxidant activity.
The antioxidant effects of amla were measured on the basis of their effects on
rat brain concentrations of the oxidative free radical scavenging enzymes,
superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and
lipid peroxidation. The results were compared with effects induced by deprenyl,
a selective mono-amine oxidase (MAO) B inhibitor with well documented
antioxidant activity. Amla and deprenyl both effectively increased SOD, CAT and
GPX activity, with concomitant
decreases
in lipid peroxidation when administered once daily for seven days. These
results indicate that the antioxidant activity of amla may derive from the
tannoids of the fruits of the plant, which have vitamin C-like properties,
rather than vitamin C itself.15
Anti-tumor Effects
Indian
researchers have shown that extracts of amla exhibit anti-tumor activity. Solid
tumors induced by DLA (Dalton’s lymphoma ascites) cells were reduced
significantly when mice were fed either amla or an herbal preparation
containing 50% amla. Amla extract was also shown to increase the life span of
tumor bearing animals by up to 60%. The researchers theorize that the
anti-tumour activity of amla may partially be due to its interaction with cell
cycle regulation.16
Lipid Lowering and
Anti-atherosclerotic Effects
In addition
to the previously reported effects of amla on normalizing lipid profiles,
Indian scientists have reported that flavonoids extracted from amla exert
highly potent hypolipidemic and hypoglycemic activities. Moreover these
flavonoids were effective in raising the hemoglobin levels in rats.17
Amla has
also been shown to possess potent antiatherosclerotic effects. Researchers
evaluated the lipid lowering effects of amla in rabbits fed a cholesterol-rich
diet to induce hyperlipidemia. Following 60 days of supplementation with amla,
serum cholesterol, triglyceride, phospholipid and LDL levels were lowered by
82%, 66%, 77% and 90%, respectively. The researchers also reported a
significant reduction in aortic plaque deposits in rabbits treated with amla,
leading researchers to conclude that amla is an effective hypolipidemic agent
and can be used as a pharmaceutical tool in hyperlipidemic subjects.18
Conclusion
It is
important for those of us who are schooled in western medicine to recognize
that many of the ancient Chinese and Aryuvedic formulas contain healing
potentials that are often qualitatively different from the simple sum of each
individual ingredient. Triphala has shown itself to be one such herbal
combination. This herbal combination can have profound healing benefits in
complex, multi-organ systems. Its role in preventive medicine cannot be minimized.
