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) throughout the brain cells, nerve tissues and cerebro-spinal centers; 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 brain cells or nerve tissues throughout the entire cerebro-spinal centers; 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 (especially the head region), and exhibits powerful antioxidant effects in order to enhance the transport of additional oxygen directly into the cells and tissue-systems throughout the brain and cerebro-spinal centers; 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 brain cells or nerve tissue; displays cell proliferant activity in order to inhibit the normal aging process within the brain cells or nerve tissue by promoting increased tissue repair and the accelerated growth of healthy new cells, thereby extending the overall lifespan of the brain and cerebro-spinal centers; 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 in nature), especially upon the immune system, brain cells or tissues, 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 brain cells and various other degenerative brain tissue or cerebro-spinal conditions; 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 brain and cerebro-spinal centers; acts as a circulatory stimulant by increasing the blood flow through the arteries and blood vessels in order to enhance greater oxygen and nutrient transport, absorption and utilization in the brain cells and tissue-systems, thereby accelerating the healing processes associated with the repair of any damaged brain or nerve tissue; 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 mental retardation or various other degenerative brain disorders; acts as an effective nutritive and rejuvenative tonic to the brain, nerve tissues and entire cerebro-spinal centers during convalescence (due to the presence of rich sources of calcium, carbohydrates, chromium, fats, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, niacin, protein, selenium, silicon, sodium, zinc and vitamins A, B1, B2 and C) in order to enrich, nourish and replenish any nutritional deficiencies or insufficiency within the brain cells or cerebro-spinal tissue-systems, which leads to the development of various degenerative or debilitative conditions in the brain or cerebro-spinal centers (including Alzheimer's disease, cerebral dementia, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and stroke); 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 debilitating or degenerative brain diseases or illnesses, while facilitating greater recovery response during convalescence in order to regain optimal health and well-being; strengthens, revitalizes and energizes any worn-out brain cells or nerve tissues while promoting greater longevity throughout the tissue-systems of the brain, and balances the left and right hemispheres of the brain; promotes greater mental clarity while increasing overall calmness, and develops greater memory retention and intellectual capabilities or learning abilities; activates the bodily processes of detoxication and elimination in order to cleanse and purify the bloodstream and tissue-systems while increasing the secretion and elimination of urine in order to provide further support to the inner cleansing process, and enhances the overall cleansing process by dilating the surface capillaries in order to more effectively remove any toxic debris or metabolic waste materials through the pores of the skin; 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;
