Herbal medicine is an ancient and traditional practice, used in many Eastern and Western countries. In many cultures it is part of main stream living and it is the preferred source of alleviating and preventing dis-ease. For many years the medicinal properties of plants have been documented and used worldwide.
Medical Plants at risk: Because “over 50% of prescription drugs are derived from chemicals first identified in plants,’’ a 2008 report from the Botanic Gardens Conservation International (representing botanic gardens in 120 countries) warned that “cures for things such as cancer and HIV may become ‘extinct before they are ever found!’’. They identified 400 medicinal plants at risk of extinction from over-collection and deforestation, threatening the discovery of future cures for disease. These include Yew trees (the bark is used for the cancer drug paclitaxel) ; Hoodia (from Namibia, a potential source of weight loss drugs); half of Magnolias (use as Chinese medicine for 5,000 years to fight cancer, dementia and heart disease); and Autumn crocus (for gout). Their report said that “five billion people still rely on traditional plant-based medicine as their primary form of heath care. (According to the WIKIPEDIA).

#1. Anaemia
You get anaemia when you don’t have enough red blood cells and iron in your blood . This makes it difficult for your blood to carry oxygen to the tissues in your body, causing unusual tiredness, decreased energy, weakness, shortness of breath, feeling dizzy, palpitations, etc. The most common cause is losing blood faster than the body can replace it. A lack of iron in the diet is common in vegans and vegetarians because the main dietary source is red meat. The body needs more iron when a large amount of cell division occur, such as in pregnancy and during periods of rapid childhood growth. Loss of blood through heavy menstruation can deplete iron stores. Diseases of the small intestines such as gluten intolerance (celiac disease) and Crohn’s disease
(inflammation of the intestine) can reduce its ability to absorb iron. This herbal pre-mix has been formulated to increase the iron level in the blood and assist the body to produce more red blood cells and the circulation of oxygen carrying haemoglobin.
#2.Acid Clear
(Arthritis/Gout/Muscle Pain)
ARTHRITIS- refers to the inflammation of the joints. The inflammation can affect any of the important structures inside a joint, including the joint lining (synovium), bones, cartilage or supporting tissues. The condition may affect only one or several joints throughout the body. There are many possible causes of arthritis, including age-related wear and tear, infections, autoimmune conditions, injuries and others. The most common cause however is when excess uric acid accumulates in the body and crystals are deposited in the joints -elimination of uric acid. Certain foods and medications can increase the level of uric acid. This herbal mixture has specially been formulated to lower the level uric acid in the body, thereby balancing the body’s Ph level.
#3. Candida(Fungal Infection)
Candida, or Candida Albicans, is a type of yeast that is generally found in the regular flora of the skin, intestinal track and the mouth, rectum and vagina. Although candida is naturally present in the body, it can cause problems if there is overgrowth, resulting in Candidiasis. Chronic overproduction of Candida (due to a lack of “Good Bacteria” in the body to control it) can lead to a wide range of physical and mental symptoms. It can manifest as abdominal pain, fatigue, skin infections, thrush, eczema, dandruff, athletes foot and even cognitive difficulties. Candida often makes its home in those who suffer from immune system weaknesses. In turn Candida can tremendously stress the body and severely lower immunity, further worsening this cycle of illness! The most common symptoms are thrush, itching skin and athletes foot. Supplement this herbal mixture with Mixture #16 (Immune Booster) and Probiotics 8 Billion.
#4. Cholesterol
The body needs cholesterol to function normally. Too much cholesterol may however be dangerous. If you have too much “bad cholesterol’’ in the bloodstream, the excess may be deposited along the walls of the blood vessels and this may cause bad circulation, leading to a blockage/clot which in turn may cause a stroke or heart attack. Pre-mix #4 is specially formulated to assist the body to keep the “bad cholesterol” under control. There are two types of cholesterol, the body and food. The liver and other cells produce cholesterol and the rest is ingested through the food we eat. LDL is thought to be a “bad cholesterol” and can clog the arteries, stroke, heart attack, poor circulation, etc.Exercising and eating a diet low in animal products is essential when treating elevated cholesterol levels.
#5. Colds and Flu
Immunity means protection against a disease or diseases. Maintaining a healthy immune system is what so many people strive for. If our immunity is compromised we cannot live a healthy life as we will not be able to protect ourselves from invading micro-organisms that cause disease. Allergies are also a disorder of the immune system as the immune system over-reacts to what would normally be a harmless substance such as pollen. To super boost your immune system use Acid Clear (Mixture #2) and Sinus & Allergy drops (Mixture #20) in conjunction with this mixture
#6. Constipation(Infrequent, difficult evacuation of the bowl)
Regular bowel movement is very important for good health. Remember grandma’s dosages of castor oil for the kids? If you want to remain healthy, ensure that waste products in the bowels are excreted on a regular basis. A good balance between intake and bowel movement is essential for well-being. It is essential that the diet is addressed because this is fundamentally what has caused the problem. For at least a while avoid all wheat and other gluten containing foods. The only fibre should come from fruit and vegetables and not fibre enriched cereals and breads. Other issues which may aggravate the condition are medication stress. This mixture has been specially formulated to help stimulate the natural peristaltic action of the colon, mild natural plant laxatives and stimulation of the digestive juices.

#9. Diabetes
