General Information
This unique immune regulating formulation offers the combined benefits of Sutherlandia, African Potato, Propolis Extract and Spirulina. Sutherlandia is an adaptogen, which has enjoyed a long history of use by all cultures in Southern Africa. Presently it is being used in numerous rural clinics in the treatment of AIDS and TB patients, where it is having a remarkable impact. Sutherlandia improves their appetite; resulting in significant weight gain, as well as enhancing their exercise tolerance, sleep patterns and mood. L-canavanine has well-documented anti-cancer, anti-viral and anti-microbial activities, and is a nitric-oxide synthase inhibitor. Pinitol has anti-diabetic activities, and has been patented in the United States for treating the wasting in cancer and AIDS patients. GABA is a well-known inhibitory neurotransmitter with application in the management of anxiety and depression. Triterpenoids closely related to SU1 have known immune-stimulating activity. Sutherlandia .Immunologists have found that extracts of Sutherlandia are tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNF inhibitors). Excess production of TNF drives the wasting syndrome in cancers, TB and AIDS. Improvements in CD4 counts and decreases in the viral load in AIDS patients taking Sutherlandia have also been reported by clinicians in South Africa and Australia. Sutherlandia is regarded as a very safe, widely used herb. African Potato (Hypoxis hemerocallidea) is included in this formula because of its unusual chemical constituents and their efficacy in the treatment of immune system disorders, including HIV and cancers. Researchers have found that the plant sterols and sterolins, which are found in high concentrations in the African potato, increase the functioning of T-cells, which control and regulate the immune system. This increases the body's natural resistance to disease and helps fight illnesses. Reduction in allergy symptoms has also been shown. Propolis Extract The term Propolis comes from the Greek: “pro” which means “before” and “polis” which means “city”. The ancient word came into being when it was noted that bees used Propolis to narrow the entrance to their “cities” or hives to keep intruders at bay. Hypocrites, considered “The Father of Medicine”, prescribed Propolis more than 2000 years ago for the treatment of sores and ulcers. It was also commonly employed in ancient Egypt and Rome. Today, doctors and complementary practitioners alike are rediscovering it as a powerful healing tool. Propolis is made from a sticky resinous material which bees collect from the leaf buds and bark of certain trees; chiefly conifers. This “bee glue” is then combined with enzymes, pollen and wax (secreted from special glands found on a bee’s abdomen) to create Propolis. Bees use Propolis for sealing, lining, strengthening, repairing, preserving and defending their hive. Its antibacterial and anti-fungal constituents protect the crowded colony against contamination and disease. In fact, the inside if a beehive is considered to be the most sterile environment in nature! There are many active constituents in Propolis, which contribute to its value in warding off disease. In addition there are a host of nutrients such as vitamins B, C and E, and the minerals calcium, copper, iron, manganese, silicon and vanadium. In addition 27 other compounds have been identified, the activity of which are yet to be understood. Research shows that Propolis contains antibacterial, anti-fungal and even anti-viral properties. In a research report entitled Therapy with Bee Honey, Russian biochemist K.A. Kuzmina states that Propolis equips the immune system to fight bacterial, fungal and viral infections more effectively than antibiotics. It achieves this by augmenting the action of the white blood cells. Dr Bent Havsteen, a researcher form Kiel University in Germany, found that it is the bioflavonoids present in Propolis that help to keep viruses inactive. A virus is harmless as long as it remains enclosed in a protein coat. Propolis works by inhibiting the enzyme that normally breaks down this coating, keeping the dangerous material locked inside. Dr Remy Chauvin from the Sorbonne in Paris, an expert in bee products says, “The overuse of antibiotics is causing bacteria to develop marked resistance. Infections are on the increase, and some contagious diseases – formerly not contagious – are becoming highly transmittable. Antibiotics kill the “friendly” bacteria in the system which the body requires to maintain good health. Propolis does the opposite. Its antibacterial and antiviral activity prevent the bad bacteria from multiplying in an organism and stimulate the immune system to fight against them.” Spirulina, considered the cornerstone of the House of Health range of nutritional supplements, because of its wide range of health benefits, is included in this formulation for the immunity regulating properties that it demonstrates. Spirulina is a broad spectrum multivitamin, multimineral supplement which provides the basic nutritional insurance against any shortages in your diet. Plus, Spirulina's vitamins are naturally bio-chelated. If a mineral is to be considered a natural food it must be biologically incorporated in a living plant or organism which absorbs it. Spirulina's minerals are formed biologically and are organically bound (chelated) into the cells the same way that they are synthesized by the human body. The pigments and vitamin complexes in Spirulina products are therefore naturally grown, not chemically synthesized in a laboratory like most commercial vitamins. Compounds formed and assimilated by the vegetable plankton cells during its natural growth process in the mineral waters are formed in the same way as the small amounts of minerals that are taken up from the soil and found in all organic natural foods.
