Alleviates any general fluids dyscrasia (abnormal or pathological condition) within the bone tissue or skeletal structure that leads to conditions involving osteomalacia (skeletal deformities), osteomyelitis (infectious pathogenic bone disorders), osteoporosis (brittle bone conditions) or spinal degeneration, and eliminates any form of cachexia (state of malnourishment and general debility) throughout the bone tissue or marrow and skeletal system in order to provide increased protection against any nutritional deficiencies or insufficiency that leads to various degenerative bone disorders (such as osteomalacia and osteoporosis); removes any chronic fatigue or exhaustion associated with various wasting diseases in the bone tissue or marrow, and reduces any retarded bone growth or development by promoting increased granulation and greater resolution throughout the entire skeletal structure (as well as accelerating the repair of any deteriorated and debilitated bone tissue or marrow); increases the production of red blood corpuscles (up to 30 percent) and hemoglobin count (averaging 15 percent), thereby enhancing the transport of essential nutrients directly into the bone tissue and skeletal structure; displays antispasmodic and spasmolytic properties in order to soothe and relieve any localized aches or pains associated with any bone injuries (such as broken bones or fractures), as well as any degenerative bone or marrow conditions (including osteoarthritis, osteomalacia and osteoporosis); exhibits cytophylactic and cytotoxic activity in order to provide stronger cellular defense mechanisms against many physical or chemical agents, and displays anti-infective and disinfectant properties in order to promote increased resistance by destroying any invasive or harmful pathogenic bacteria, microbes or viruses that are often responsible for various infectious states or inflammatory conditions; exhibits bacteriostatic and microbicidal activity in order to strengthen and increase the resistance of the bone tissue or marrow against any invasive or harmful bacteria or microbes, as well as to inhibit the further development of any infectious or inflammatory conditions associated with the onset of osteomyelitis; demonstrates significant antiphlogistic effects in order to inhibit the formation of certain inflammatory compounds (such as histamine, leukotrienes, prostaglandin, serine proteases and thromboxanes), as well as to reduce any severe inflammatory swelling associated with any broken bones or degenerative bone conditions by exerting an extremely positive influence towards correcting any internal inflammatory conditions within the bone tissue or marrow; exhibits significant antiseptic activity by destroying the vitality of any organized living ferments in order to prevent the onset of putrefaction or septicemia, and precipitates the proteins in any inflamed tissues in order to provide a mildly antiseptic and protective coating (under which the regeneration of new tissue occurs) for the bone tissue throughout the entire skeletal structure; acts as an effective antiseptic in order to remove any septic conditions associated with tissue degeneration or ulceration, and promotes increased suppuration and a steady toning or restorative impression to the entire glandular system (especially the liver, spleen and lymph glands); displays biocatalytic activity in order to enhance greater assimilation of those essential nutrients that are necessary for the increased production of energy and vitality, thereby accelerating certain rejuvenative processes associated with the repair of any damaged bone tissue or marrow throughout the entire skeletal structure; acts as a biocatalyst in order to accelerate and accentuate the transport of all the other herbal ingredients throughout the entire organism to specific parts of the body, including the bone tissue and skeletal structure; accelerates all the cellular processes, and stimulates the intercellular metabolic activities without profoundly modifying the normal physiological action; acts as a cell proliferant in order to stimulate increased cellular mitosis (cell division and reproduction) in an adequate nutritional environment, as well as to accelerate the healing processes by promoting increased granulation and greater resolution during the repair of any damaged or broken bones and spinal injuries; displays cell proliferant activity in order to inhibit the normal aging process throughout the skeletal system, thereby extending the overall lifespan of the various cells and tissue-systems in the bone tissue or marrow, spinal column and the entire skeletal system; exhibits anabolic activity in order to accelerate the production of DNA and RNA (which enhances the production of proteins in the form of antibodies), while increasing protein and lipid synthesis in the bone marrow and DNA/RNA content in the adrenals and lymph nodes (along with increased body weight and enhanced re-synthesis of glycogen and high-energy phosphate compounds); demonstrates powerful adaptogenic (balancing and strengthening) activity in order to increase the overall resistance of an organism towards any adverse influences or stressful conditions (whether they be physical, chemical or biological), especially throughout the immune system, skeletal structure, and both the central (cerebro-spinal centers) and peripheral nervous systems; exhibits immuno-potentiating and immuno-stimulatory effects in order to enhance greater long-term immune potential and overall systemic immunity (or immune cell activity) and increased immune response (by activating the body's natural defense mechanisms), particularly in relation to the repair and restoration of any damaged or broken bones and various other degenerative bone tissue, marrow or spinal conditions; activates the overall biological systemic functions, and displays significant antioxidant properties in order to enhance the transport of additional oxygen directly into the cells and tissue-systems throughout the bones and skeletal system; acts as a secretolytic stimulant in order to promote increased gastric, pancreatic or intestinal secretory and motor activity, and enhances greater peripheral circulation (due to its antioxidant activity); exhibits significant antioxidant effects in order to provide greater oxygen-transport capabilities throughout the bloodstream, as well as enhance the transport of additional oxygen directly into the cells and tissue-systems throughout the entire skeletal system; acts as a circulatory stimulant by increasing the blood flows throughout the circulatory system in order to enhance greater nutrient transport, absorption and utilization, thereby accelerating the healing processes associated with the repair of any damaged arteries, blood vessels or capillaries throughout the entire organism; acts as an effective nutritive and rejuvenative tonic to the entire skeletal structure during convalescence (due to the presence of rich sources of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus, as well as other assorted vitamins, minerals and enzymes) in order to enrich, nourish and replenish any nutritional deficiencies or insufficiency within the bone tissue, marrow or spinal column, which leads to the development of various degenerative or debilitative conditions such as osteomalacia (structural deformities) or osteoporosis (brittle bone conditions); demonstrates significant rejuvenative and restorative properties upon the basic plasma tissue-systems throughout the entire organism, thereby enhancing the production of vital bodily fluids while providing greater enrichment through increased assimilation of the various organic mineral salts; accelerates the recuperative processes that are essential in order to overcome any chronic degenerative or debilitative diseases or illnesses, while facilitating greater recovery response during convalescence in order to fully regain optimal health and well-being; displays alterative and tonifying effects in order to remove any functional states accompanied by depressed metabolic activity, which leads to specific nutritional deficiencies or insufficiency associated with any retarded bone and marrow production or development; displays powerful rejuvenating effects, due to the presence of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, proteins and various other growth factors that accelerate the growth and development of bone tissue or marrow; displays alterative activity in order to correct any disordered bodily function, thereby activating increased alterations in both metabolic and tissue functions as a defensive measure against the onset of acute or chronic disease; exhibits restorative effects in order to regain increased vigor or vitality and greater strength, while enhancing normal tissue and metabolic functional capabilities; demonstrates alterative and restorative properties in order to re-establish healthy systemic functional capabilities, as well as to establish greater vascular tone throughout the entire organism (due to its ability to stimulate increased secretory flows); exhibits alterative effects in order to stimulate the anabolic growth processes, thereby enhancing the repair of any degenerated, deteriorated and debilitated cells or tissues (while promoting the elimination of any catabolic waste materials); displays tonifying effects in order to permanently enhance the overall energy-levels throughout the entire organism, without adversely affecting the functional capabilities of any particular organ or system.
