Alleviates any general fluids dyscrasia
(abnormal or pathological condition) within the arteries, blood
vessels or capillaries throughout the circulatory system that
leads to the onset of various degenerative or debilitative
conditions associated with any blood disorders or blood
impurities involving the presence or persistence of various
pathogenic bacteria or microorganisms and their toxins in the
blood (sepsis) or the retention of excessive by-products of
protein metabolism in the blood that leads to various toxic
conditions (uremia), and eliminates any form of cachexia (state
of malnourishment and general debility) within the arterial,
venous or capillary system while removing any chronic fatigue or
exhaustion associated with excessive accumulations of toxic waste
materials throughout the bloodstream and tissue-systems; removes
any general toxemia (chronic systemal toxicity), and neutralizes
any excessive uric acid diathesis (due to the presence of certain
alkaloids) by increasing the excretion of uric acid and other
urates; stimulates the functional capabilities of the kidneys in
order to excrete additional quantities of water, thereby flushing
any toxic debris, metabolic waste materials or pollutant-type
residues from the body; eliminates any anemic conditions,
chlorosis and other blood disorders, due to the presence of high
levels of iron and vitamin C (which enhances the assimilation of
iron); 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 arteries, blood vessels and
capillaries 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 sepsis,
septicemia or uremia; 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 sepsis, septicemia or
uremia by exerting an extremely positive influence towards
correcting any internal inflammatory conditions within the
arteries, blood vessels or capillaries; 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
arteries, blood vessels and capillaries throughout the entire
organism; 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); increases the
production of healthy red blood cells (due to the presence of
rich sources of iron), and nourishes the blood in the liver and
uterus; displays astringent properties (due to the presence of
tannins) in order to strengthen the functional capabilities of
the spleen, thereby maintaining proper blood supply throughout
the arteries, blood vessels and capillaries; relieves any passive
or symptomatic uterine hemorrhaging, as well as any blood
deficiencies in the uterus accompanied by delayed, scanty or
suppressed menstruation; alleviates any hematuria (the presence
of blood or blood cells in the urine), hemoptysis (spitting up
blood from the respiratory tract), and hematemesis (vomiting up
blood), and provides greater tonicity and capillary strength to
the entire bronchial mucosa; displays vasoconstrictor activity in
order to remove any vascular constrictions (Buerger's disease),
and eliminates any impaired circulation or circulatory
insufficiency associated with coronary artery constriction;
restores greater suppleness to any hardened arteries, while
activating, cleansing and strengthening the entire circulatory
and lymphatic systems in order to enrich and fortify the blood;
exhibits immuno-potentiating and immuno-stimulatory effects in
order to enhance greater long-term immune potential and overall
non-specific 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 congested arteries, blood vessels
or capillaries throughout the circulatory 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) properties 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
throughout the arteries, blood vessels, capillaries and the
entire circulatory 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 arteries, blood vessels,
capillaries and the entire circulatory 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 arteries, blood vessels or capillaries during
convalescence (due to the presence of rich sources of calcium,
chlorine, chromium, cobalt, copper, iodine, iron, magnesium,
manganese, niacin, phosphorus, potassium, protein, selenium,
silicon, sulfur, zinc, and vitamins A, B1, B2, C, D and E) in
order to enrich, nourish and replenish any nutritional
deficiencies or insufficiency within the arteries, blood vessels
or capillaries, which leads to the development of various
degenerative or debilitative conditions throughout the entire
circulatory system; 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; activates the bodily processes of
detoxification and elimination in order to cleanse and purify the
bloodstream and tissue-systems, and increases the secretion and
elimination of urine in order to provide further support to the
inner cleansing process; 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.
