Para-Tech
PARATECH (Parasite formula) - 60 caps
Each capsule contains:
Sweet Annie (Artemisia annua) (300 mg)
Grapefruit Seed Extract (7:1) (150 mg)
Black Walnut Hulls (75 mg)
Characteristics and function:
The occurrence of parasites in the body is more common than most people realize. These can range from small pinworms to hook worms, liver flukes and tape worms. This simple parasite formula is designed to take care of all varieties. We can also have invaders, such as fungi (Candida albicans), etc. Many of these organisms will be inhibited from growing when using this formula. There is a recent resurgence of an old theory that many of our most critical health issues stem from internal parasites. Some people feel many types of cancer might have their start with parasites. We know that parasites can weaken the body and most likely the immune system with their presence.
The major herb in this formula is Sweet Annie (Artemisia annua). It has had quite a bit of research around it in the last several years. It has been used in Asia for a long time as an excellent parasite herb. Present studies show it is one of the most potent cures for malaria, both as a preventive and after being bitten by malarial insects. It is recommended when going on a tropical adventure that takes one into the tropics. The Chinese use it "to resolve summer heat," as it makes handling hot weather much easier. Black walnut (green hulls) is one of the well established parasite herbs from the West. It has been used for centuries for intestinal parasites.
Directions:
Two capsules, twice daily for one month; take a month break and consume acidophilus-like bacteria for one month. Repeat two to four times.

Characteristics and function:
Reishi (GP 14% Triterpenes) has become a central product in clinical practice. It has a calming effect on a person. This calming effect is one of reishi's best attributes. It has also been very good for treating digestive problems, asthma, allergies, insomnia, as an immune tonic, CFS, fibromyalgia, AIDS, sugar-metabolism problems and even cancer. Both of the echinaceas are known as immune modulators, for strengthening and regulating the immune system. Ginger is a great stimulant, specific for the digestive tract and lungs. Barberry is a good herbal antibiotic and tonic, toning up the mucous membranes of the body.

Reishi Premium
REISHI PREMIUM- 60 Vcaps
Each Vcap contains:
Rieshi Extract (15:1) (Ganoderma lucidum) (100 mg)
Reishi Mushroom Powder (300 mg)
Characteristics and function:
Reishi is a hard, woody-type mushroom that grows on old trees and tree stumps in many parts of the world including northern Europe, the eastern United States, Asia and Canada. Reishi has long been revered as anti-aging, possessing an extremely broad range of health benefits. It has been used daily as an immune strengthener as well as for many diseases and disorders, including chronic pneumonia, rheumatism, asthma, liver disease and cancer. Reishi also seems to work particularly well with certain organs and conditions that may affect them, these include: heart, liver, lungs and kidneys. Studies have shown that reishi has the ability to regulate or balance the immune system, whether the immune system is overactive in the case of autoimmune diseases or underactive in the case of chronic illness.
Researchers also noted that reishi supports our T-cells in attacking tumors, inhibits the growth of human leukemic cells and helps to re-establish normal levels of white blood cells. Reishi has been shown in studies to help 80% of people with heart problems, reducing and balancing cholesterol, lowering blood-pressure in as little as 10 days and lowering platelet aggregation, which reduces the incidence of blood clots and strokes as well as migraines. Reishi's ability to calm the body and regulate energy appears to be the key to its affect on blood-pressure, the immune system and ultimately how long that system will last. Japanese research demonstrates the effectiveness of reishi mushroom on inhibiting histamine release, which means it is useful in the treatment of Type 1 allergies, including anaphylactic shock, atopic dermatitis, hay fever, hives, drug allergies and bronchial asthma. When it comes to sleep disorders, reishi's calming effect can help people off to sleep, giving them freedom from the usual nagging thoughts that prevent them from sleeping. Research also shows that taking reishi before bed can help increase the most restful sleep, which is gained in the REM stage (Rapid Eye Movement). Reishi also helps regenerate and protect the liver from toxicity.
Researchers say that "Reishi appears to accelerate the clearance of drugs from the system through its effect on the liver." This helps to explain why it is prescribed in Chinese medicine for mushroom poisoning and chronic hepatitis. In a three-month clinical study, acute hepatitis-B patients showed significant improvement even from the first month of treatment. Reishi is a supplement that can be taken on a daily basis. It provides strong support for a long and healthy life. It's benefits are the following:
- Balances immune function
- Improves heart health
- Calms high stress levels
- Combats allergies and hay fever
- Relieves insomnia
- Supports liver function
- Lowers blood-pressure and glucose levels
Directions:
Two capsules, twice daily or as directed by a healthcare pracitioner.
Migraherb
MIGRAHERB - 60 caps Natural relief for Headaches and Migraines
Each tablet contains:
Feverfew Leaf (Tanacetum parthenium) (78 mg)
Ginger Root (Zingiber officinale) (100 mg)
White Willow Bark (Salix spp.) (50 mg )
Cayenne Fruit (50 mg)
Characteristics and function:
One of Feverfew's most notable features is its outstanding ability to reduce the incidence of headaches and migraines. Its effectiveness in this regard is due to its parthenolide content. There is, however, great variability in the chemical constituents of this herb and many commercial products tested were shown to contain none of the active ingredients associated with migraine prophylaxis. Wild Rose Migraherb uses Guaranteed Potency feverfew to ensure maximum effectiveness and overcome problems with quality variability.
Feverfew helps reduce platelet aggregation and also dilate the micro vessels in the head. Both vascular construction and platelet aggregation can be associated with migraines. Prophylactic use of feverfew is recommended as it seems to have little effect if its taken during an acute migraine attack (best taken in regular, daily small dosages). Feverfew is also highly regarded for its anti-inflammatory benefits, making it of use with arthritis and asthma. As its name implies, feverfew has often been used for colds and flus, especially when accompanied by a high temperature. Ginger root decreases platelet aggregation and is a circulatory stimulant, aiding in blood flow. Willow bark contains naturally occurring salicylate constituents, which reduce platelet aggregation, lower cholesterol and are an excellent circulatory tonic.
Directions:
Two or three capsules, twice daily for one month, then one to two capsules twice daily or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.
