As
we strive to live longer and stay younger, we deal with
the reality of a rapidly growing health care crisis. As the first of
millions of "Babyboomers" are about to reach retirement age
and overwhelm our already overloaded health care system.
As we lose faith
in our health care system as well as the safety of
pharmaceutical medications, our search takes us closer to natural cures and effective
medicinal herbal compounds. Hundreds of billions of dollars are spent on pharmaceutical research
to find "cures", yet little in comparison is spent on prevention and
anti-aging.
Why? Because unless
pharmaceutical companies can patent new chemical compounds, there is no financial motivation.
And who funds most of the research? The big pharma
companies. And they can't patent nature.
Nevertheless, researchers and scientists at the forefront of research are finding
great promise in botanical curative substances like Chaga. Science is confirming folk medicines such
as Chaga, which have been known for centuries for their superb healing and
anti-aging properties.
Our superior Wildcrafted
Chaga Extract is the all-natural solution to anti-aging.
It is the richest of all foods and oils in
anti-oxidants, which are needed to fight free radicals.
Free radicals damage our cells - setting the stage for
disease and aging.
Chaga also contains:
- Polysaccharides which enhance
the immune system, treat cancer, liver, HIV virus and
other anti-bacterial and viral infections.
- Betulinic acid which helps
counter viral infections and tumors.
- Triterpenes which helps lower
cholesterol, improve digestion, detoxify the liver,
treat hepatitis, chronic bronchitis, coughs and
asthma.
- Germanium, which helps
cleanse the blood, normalize blood pressure and
prevent tumors.
- Melanin, which enhances the
appearance of hair, skin and eyes, and restores a more
youthful appearance.
- Important Nucleosides, Phytonutrients, minerals
and amino acids such as Saponin, Magnesium, Chromium,
Iron, Kalium, Beta-glucan, Inotodiol, Isoprenoid and
others, all offering tremendous health benefits. .
King of the Herbal
Adaptogens
Chaga belongs to the group of herbs distinguished as
"adaptogens." It normalizes all kinds of vital functions inside your body, raising
low levels up to normal, or lowering high levels down to normal. The
word Chaga derives from indigenous languages which are spoken around the entire Arctic Circle, and in
North America native people use it for medicine and
call it Tiaga or Tsi Aga. The Nez Perce people used it
in pemmican and were immune to diseases brought in to them by early
trappers.
Soviet research on Chaga
also showed a potent mixture of Adaptogens. The
word adaptogen, coined by Russian Scientist Dr. Nicolai
Lazarev in 1947, refers to a natural herb product that
increases the body's resistance to stresses such as trauma, anxiety and bodily fatigue. Adaptogens can help the body adapt
better to its environment, whether that environment be one of many harmful chemicals or simply
one of rapid change. The guidelines Lazarev created for an herb
to be considered an adaptogen are:
- It must cause only minimal
disorders in the body's physiological functions
- It must increase the body's
resistance to adverse influences not by a specific
action but by a wide range of physical, chemical,
and biochemical factors
- It must have an overall normalizing effect,
improving all kinds of conditions and aggravating
none.
It is claimed that adaptogenic
herbs are unique from other substances in their ability
to balance endocrine hormones and the immune system, and
they help the body to maintain optimal homeostasis. Most
herbal adaptogens that have been identified are used in
either Ayurveda or Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
These herbs and other adaptogens have been proven in
clinical and laboratory studies to help us adapt to the
rapidly changing conditions in our modern, often
synthetic environment.
The Russian scientist, G.M. Barenboim stated:
"For the first time in the history of human
civilization the biological potentialities of the human
body have failed to meet the requirements imposed on it
by the epoch. One witnesses an unusual 'epidemic' of
fatigue aggravated by the powerful action of man-made,
external chemical and physical environmental factors.
Like the drugs that saved the world from numerous
bacterial and viral epidemics that cost millions of
lives in the past, the adaptogens are needed to help man
withstand the diverse stresses of today."
Adaptogens may show the following health benefits:
- Eliminate the Effects of
Stress
- Support Immune Function &
Strengthen Immune System
- Improve Mental Clarity
- Improve Physical Perforation
Aging Effect
- Regulate Function of Muscles
and Nerves
