Dissolves away the cholesterol shield that hides viruses from the immune system, allowing recognition, targeting and destruction of the invader. Essential for cell membrane fluidization (allowing the cell membrane to stay flexible and youthful) helping each cell resist viral invaders. The more flexible the membrane, the tougher it is for viruses to invade the cell. An ion transporter integral for immune system communication and intercellular communication in all organs. (Helps coordinate cellular teamwork within organs) Sometimes restores hair growth and thickens hair with less falling out.

Dunaliella Carotene Australia

Harvard studies have shown Dunaliella Carotene Complexes to be impressively effective for supporting the body's own immune production of Tumor Necrosis (killing) Factor Alpha (TNF Alpha) - In the Harvard cancer studies that inspired the carotene craze, Dunaliella & Spirulina Carotenes were shown to be 12 times more effective in supporting TNF than common carotene supplements. Yet common "natural" (actually "nature identical" manufactured from petroleum by-products) is what recent, less effective carotene studies have utilized. The manufacturing process to convert petroleum chemicals to beta carotene uses a carcinogenic industrial solvent called hexane. Traces remain in these "natural" carotenes. Their mediocre immune results should come as no surprise. Dietary or life-created sources of carotene are superior sources of dozens of different carotenes in a genuinely natural and bioactive form. Carotene is useful for improved vision and as a general tonic. (See vitamin A text for details).

Ampalaya (bitter melon, kugazi, Balsam pear) (fruit) (Momordica Charantia)

The most bitter food on earth, commonly eaten by one-fifth of the people on earth, and a mainstay of healers in China, Japan, India, (used at Mother Teresa's cancer and leprosy clinics, (first Ayervedic uses recorded 1,000 BC), Africa, Philippines, the Carribean, Central and South America, and recently in America, (now served in Hollywood juice bars). It is often eaten for detoxification and for relief of hepatitis and neuromuscular situations. It is Scientifically acknowledged for its liver cleansing characteristics, increased blood oxygen delivery and parasite ridding qualities (round worm, ringworm, malaria and others). Enthusiasts declare increased energy, reduced aches and pains and enhanced sense of well-being. For the natives of the Yucatan, this translates to "aphrodisiac".

Enthusiasts note a more beautiful skin and clearing of acne and psoriasis. For dieters and diabetics, it is a source of an insulin-like substance, polypeptide-P, and also is noted to increase pancreatic beta cells, source of the body's own insulin - ultimately moderating blood sugar and temperament as well as reducing sugar cravings for naturally reducing body fat.

Long used elsewhere as an immune system tonic, a 1983 UCLA and Kansas State University collaboration reported anti-tumor activity. (A view made popular in certain alternative healing circles by Hulda Clark's book, draws a connection between parasites and cancer.)

Further, a 1990, New York University School of medicine report identified a specific protein in bitter melon called MAP-30, as an "inhibitor of HIV infection and replication." Enthusiast's, since eating bitter melon on a daily basis, report substantial to dramatic increases in immune factors across the board - Perhaps a reason why it is also regarded as a tonic for colds and flu.

Fructooligosacharides (Nutraflora FOS) (A naturally occuring component of fruit carbohydrates) Japan

You are utterly dependant upon your intestine as a primary organ for assimilating nutrients and eliminating toxins. You share the use of your intestine with 100 trillion microorganisms weighing roughly the same as your left arm from elbow to fingertip. Beneficial microorganisms, like p-cidophilus, support your health by creating specially needed nutrients like vitamins B-3, B-6, B-12, biotin, folic acid and K, plus natural antibiotics, antitumor factors and other immune factors.

Undesirable microorganisms like Candida albacans eat your food and poison you in return. Environmental pollution, antibiotics and sugary, processed foods can drastically alter your intestinal environment allowing undesirables to take over.

When eaten at the rate of 1 gram per day, FOS has been shown to decrease undesirables and to create a fivefold increase in beneficial, health-creating flora.

Red Clover (flower) N. America (Tri folium Pratense)

A favorite of natural health pioneer Ellen G. White and master herbalist Jethro Kloss - "One of Gods greatest blessings to man." Has earned especially high regard among cancer survivors and is a cornerstone of legendary formulas and programs.

There is a parasite called a fluke. It inhabits the intestine and then the liver. When it is present, there is production of cell division factor ortho-phospho-tyrosine. This disrupts normal cellular schedules and results in the runaway cell growth of cancer. It has been discovered that the phytonutrient Genisteine in Red Clover Flowers is able to disrupt a precursor to the division factor thus defusing a potential biological time-bomb. When ortho-phospho-tyrosine production is disrupted, cell growth returns to normal.

Red clover is also useful for soothing frantic nerves, systemic cleansing, coughs and for the lungs.

A deep-rooted legume, perhaps the oldest agricultural crop, cultivated since prehistoric times. Important to Celtic, Chinese, Russian, Greek and Roman cultures and healing traditions. "One of God's greatest blessings to man". According to Jethro Kloss, author of the famous herb book Back To Eden. Also a favorite home remedy of natural health pioneer, Mrs. E.G. White. And red clover is mentioned in Dr. Hulda Clark's book, The Cure For All Cancers and is an ingredient in the Hoxsey program. National Cancer Institute researchers have found antitumor properties in the herb.

More than 30 different cultures around the world use red clover in natural cancer remedies. An enzymatic cell growth factor called ortho-phospho-tyrosine is a common cancer marker, or indicator. It is produced by body parasites. Red clover provides a substance called genistine which inhibits ortho-phospho-tyrosine.

Other enthusiasts describe its value for the lymphatic system, digestive tract, and as a reliever of water retention and menstrual discomforts, and "able to kill TB bacteria".

Saffron (Flower, Stigma portion of the pistil) Egypt & Spain (Crocus Sativus Iridaceae)

The most desired and highly valued of all the spices, literally over the centuries, worth its weight in gold. There are only 6 mg of spice per flower. Its production is tedious, requiring 75,000 flowers be hand picked and processed to produce only one pound of spice.

The legendary herbalist John Gerard is quoted as saying: "For those at death's door and almost past breathing, saffron bringeth breath again." Favored for the heart, hysteric PMS, digestion, cleansing the lungs, as a sexual stimulant and to calm pain. Used to rejuvenate the skin. Current studies focus upon saffron's bioactive phytonutrient, crocetin and its ability to lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Crocetin also increases oxygen in the blood. Used generously in Spanish European cooking. The most expensive spice by far - The stigma portion of the blossom must be separated from 165 hand picked blossoms to produce a single gram of the spice. A superior source of enzymatic pigments used as dyes.

Saffron has been a favorite of ancient Egyptian royalty, European nobility, and Ayuruedic and Chinese physicians. Saffron is now a favorite of chefs and is used liberally in European Spanish cuisine.

The blood oxygenating factor crocetin in saffron has given it a reputation as "elegantly exhilarating" and as an aphrodisiac. Herbalist John Gerard noted "For those at death's doure and almost past breathing, saffron bringeth breath again."

Herbalists over the past 200 years have noted its value for bringing laughter and reducing menstrual depression, a supporter of the kidneys and liver, strengthening the heart and digestion and for cholera and for clearing the lungs.

Modern research lead by an article in the British medical journal Lancet, credits saffron's crocetin as a cholesterol reducer and as a protector against human heart disease in certain Spanish populations who consume dietary saffron regularly. Not surprisingly, Chinese research indicates it is valuable for reducing blood pressure. Saffron is regarded as entirely safe at dietary levels. (Consumption of larger medicinal amounts should be avoided during pregnancy. Serious circulatory conditions should only be treated under the supervision of a health professional.)

Vitamin A & Carotenes

Vitamin A comes in 2 forms; Preformed vitamin A (essential but toxic in extreme amounts) and plant-form ("provitamin A") or Carotene (a safe, non-toxic form you may store up in great reserves and the body will convert to vitamin A as needed without any toxicity). There are dozens of different carotenes. Different carotenes have different benefits. Beta carotene is the most popular, however, studies indicate that a variety of different carotenes as found in green and yellow-orange plants work best as a team. These are a superior quencher of singlet free radicals (formed during exposure to radiation and during normal metabolism). In addition they are building blocks for your body's anti-tumor immune factors. They operate as communicators between cells to keep cells normalized and functioning properly and in unison. These carotenes and vitamin A also support a more vigorous production of several different disease-fighting cells. In studies, this has more than doubled the immune system's Candida kill rate, an especially important benefit for AIDS sufferers. Vitamin A and carotene have grabbed their share of headlines. "Miracle antioxidant", "The Immune Vitamin", "The Anti-infective Vitamin", "The Anti-wrinkle Vitamin", "Fountain of Youth for the Skin" and "The Anti-cancer Vitamin".

Vitamin A "The anti-wrinkle vitamin" is essential to the growth and repair of all body tissues. A lack of vitamin A is especially obvious as unhealthy skin (including acne and psoriasis) Vitamin A is critical to the health of the mucous membranes of the eyes, lungs, throat, nose, mouth, digestive tract, bladder, kidneys and reproductive systems. These membranes are often your first line of defense against invaders.

Vitamin A is also significant for reducing high cholesterol and production of hormones - important factors for quality and quantity of life.

Vitamin A is necessary to support strong digestion, the building and maintenance of bones and teeth, and for good eyesight, especially night vision - an important safety factor for driving at night. Plentiful vitamin A is required for healthy blood. Your body is creating millions of new blood cells as you read this. The creation of these and other cells requires RNA. Ribonucleic acid transmits the instructions of life within each cell. Vitamin A increases the rate at which new RNA is created, thus new cells can be created as fast or faster than old ones are being worn out or destroyed. When the replacement rate falls behind the needs, you age faster. When the replacement rate keeps up or surpasses the need, you age more slowly, perhaps heal old problems and even "de-age".

This is why carotene is so important. 5,000 iu (100% RDA) of vitamin A per day is a very safe level for everyone. Three or more times this amount can start leading to problems for some people. However, your body may require 20 times this amount when health is under attack. This huge gap should be filled safely with caro
