Astragalus Formula
The body is an internal battle ground of two opposing forces: antigens (harmful bacteria, viruses, and all manner of natural and man-made toxins) and Leucocytes (white blood cells), which are the building blocks of defense. Leucocytes are a complex array of cells and cellular products which act to destroy antigens in various ways. A large number of oriental studies have shown that certain herbs, especially in combinations such as Albi's Astragalus Formula, have a notably positive effect in the resistance of human disease and in the strengthening of the immune system.
Astragalus is one of the major Chinese tonic herbs. It works best when properly combined with other herbs according to the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is a natural tonic and energizer; it enhances the immune system. It is a leading ingredient in herbal tonics used in China’s hospitals and medicines; it is always included in blood tonics. Astragalus is one of the more expensive Chinese tonic herbs, ranking with ginseng in demand by those “in the know.”
A group of researchers reported that when astragalus extract is added to a culture medium in which human lung cell mass is grown, the cellular aging process appears to be significantly postponed. In two identical groups of cultured cell mass, one treated with astragalus, and one not, the untreated cells survived 61 to 66 reproductive generations, while the cells treated with astragalus survived an average of 98 generations.
The ancient rejuvenator Chinese Ginseng forms a great combination with astragalus. Ginseng possesses immune restorative abilities which strengthen the body’s metabolic equilibrium. At the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Jilin Province, China, researchers in the pharmacology department evaluated the effects of ginseng on immune responses.
Siberian Ginseng is used in Chinese hospitals to treat cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy in order to protect the immune system, and it is used in the Soviet Union as a preventative for colds and flu.
Echinacea plant is an amazing botanical chemical factory. It contains immune-stimulating polysaccharides reported by West German technical journals.
Schisandra is a very special oriental herb highly prized by the ancient nobility in China. Its fame is due to its reputation as a youth preserver. It contains schisandrin, schisandrol, volatile oil, chomigrenal, malic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, vitamin C, etc. Schisandra has immune properties as in Chinese and Siberian Ginseng. They combine well.
