American Ginseng is a classic adaptogen herb with sys-
temic action. It increases resistance to illness and envi-
ronmental stresses, improving vigor, vitality, and energy.
American Ginseng does not treat disease directly, but
strengthens the body’s ability to adapt to stress and
therefore may help to avoid acute episodes from mani-
festing when one is dealing with a chronic disease.
American Ginseng is especially helpful during the later
stages in life, the effects of years of stress, wear and tear
on the body begin to manifest themselves.
Dosage: 20-40 drops, 2-3 times per day It is best used
as a long term tonic (1-3 months and longer).

Ginkgo Biloba Leaf 1:1.5 works well with American
Ginseng, especially if mild depression is a problem.

Most health problems are either directly or indirectly
related to oxidative (free-radical) damage. While vitamins
and minerals (vitamin C, vitamin E and selenium, for
example) are antioxidants, it is now recognized that phy-
toantioxidants, rich in a broad spectrum of flavonoids,
polyphenols, anthocyanidins, etc are the most
powerful.or is exposed to a toxic lifestyle. Those who are

References: Acai Berry (Euterpe oleraceae) is the fruit
of a palm tree native to South America. The pulp and
skin of acai are rich in anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins,
and other fatty acids. Studies have shown that acai has
anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and apoptic (programme
cell death). effects A study published in the Journal of
Agricultural and Food Chemistry, showed extracts of Aca
berries triggered apostisis in up to 86 percent of
leukemia cells tested.
Mangosteen (Garcinia magostana) is a plant native to
Southeast Asia. Studies reveal that xanthones from the
fruit hulls of mangosteen have antioxidant, antibacterial,
antifungal, and anti?inflammatory properties. In one
study mangosteen’s xanthones significantly inhibited the
growth of leukemia cells. One xanthone in particular,
alpha?mangostin, showed complete inhibition of
leukemia cells through the induction of apoptosis (pro-
grammed cell death). Other studies indicate xanthones
from mangosteen inhibit the activities of COX?1 and
COX?2 enzymes, prevent oxidative damage of LDL cho-
lesterol, have cytotoxic effects on liver cancer cells, and
are antiproliferative, antioxidative, and apoptic against
breast cancer cells.
Goji Berry (Lycium barbarum) polysaccharides exhibit
anti-tumor, immune enhancing and liver-protective prop
erties. Studies suggest that Goji polysacharides have posi
tive effects when used with conventional cancer treat-
ments. A 1994 study done in China on patients with a
variety of cancers revealed that patients who were given
Goji Berry polysaccharides along with their conventional
cancer treatment had a 40.9 percent response rate to th
treatment, while patients who received conventional
treatment without the Goji Berry supplement had only a
16.1 percent response rate. Additionally the Goji Berry
supplemented patients experienced longer remissions
and had a significant increase in natural killer cell activit
Goji berries contain high levels of Zeaxanthin, a
carotenoid necessary for healthy vision that is present in
high amounts in the macula of the human eye. The
Zeaxanthin in Goji berries is a naturally esterifed zeaxan
thin which has been proven to cause a higher increase i
plasma levels than the non-esterified form contained in
many supplements. Researchers have concluded that
Goji is one of the best antioxidants to promote healthy
aging.
Pomegranate (Punica granatum) contains thousands of
phytochemicals including anthocyananins, ellagic acid
derivatives, catechins and procyandins, flavonols, fatty
acids and sterols. Human studies show that pomegranat
polyphenols and their metabolites offer protection
against various diseases. Pomegranate increases nitric
oxide production in the endothelial cells of the vascular
system protecting against cardiovascular disease. Studies
show consumption of the juice benefits patients with
carotid artery stenosis, those with hypertension, and
those with coronary heart disease. Pomegranate has bee
heavily studied in the treatment of prostate cancer. In
