Spirulina and Vital Wonderfood 12/09/2011
Dear Friends, Spirulina has been seen as a superfood which may be useful in today's world. Besides being a perfect survival food, it contains a wide spectrum of nutrients which are very useful for our physical and emotional well-being as well of great benefit in supporting us through our everyday challenges and modern lifestyle. We would like to share with you more information about the importance of Spirulina and let you know that this amazing ingredient is part of the many healthy ingredients which make Vital Wonderfood a unique product. This may be why it is an essential product to have in your home at all times! Please read below the short article about how Spirulina works with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). For any further questions about Spirulina and Vital Wonderfood please email us at info@tonysamara.org. Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to hearing from you! Love, The Heart Herbs Team *** Blue-green algae tested for treating ALS Nutritional supplementation with Spirulina, a nutrient-rich, blue-green algae, appeared to provide neuroprotective support for dying motor neurons in a model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, University of South Florida neuroscientists have found. Although more research is needed, they suggest that a Spirulina-supplemented diet may provide clinical benefits for ALS patients. A Spirulina dietary supplement was shown to delay the onset of motor symptoms and disease progression, reducing inflammatory markers and motor neuron death in a model of ALS. Spirulina, an ancient food source used by the Aztecs, may have a dual antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect on motor neurons, the researchers said. Their study is published in the current issue of The Open Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine Journal (3:36-41). "ALS is a degenerative motor neuron disease," said the study's lead author, Svitlana Garbuzova-Davis, PhD, DSc, assistant professor in the Department of Neurosurgery and Brain Repair at USF. "Most available treatments relieve symptoms without altering the underlying disease. However, evidence for oxidative stress has been associated with ALS and, in our past studies, we demonstrated potent decreases in markers of oxidative damage and inflammation in models fed diets supplemented with Spirulina or spinach. In this initial study, the diet supplement was fed only to pre-symptomatic models. Further studies showing the diet supplement's effect on the lifespan of symptomatic ALS models are needed to prove the treatment's effectiveness." Specifically, when the USF researchers tested compounds found in blueberries and Spirulina for effectiveness in models of stroke and aging in past experiments, they noted neuroprotective effects of the nutritional supplements. The current study compared ALS models receiving a Spirulina-supplemented diet over a 10-week period with models that did not receive the diet supplementation. The Spirulina-fed ALS models showed reduced inflammatory markers and motor neuron degeneration over that period. "The focus of our future ALS experiments will include motor neuron counts and an examination of lifespan following dietary Spirulina supplementation in symptomatic ALS models," said study co-author Paula C. Bickford, PhD, a professor in the USF Department of Neurosurgery and Brain Repair and a senior research biologist at the James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital in Tampa, Florida.

We believe this new year is going to be an amazing year for many reasons. One of them is that Theriaca Elixir will show to even more people that it is the number 1 resource for health and vitality, we believe this to be very exciting! Almost every week we keep finding amazing new information about one of the ingredients in this amazing mixture created by Tony Samara. We would like to share with you today what we have found out about Olive Leaf. Such a simple leaf carries such powerful and significant sources of health and vitality! Here is what we have found: "There is increasing interest in the use of natural antioxidants as bioactive components in foods. The protective effects of diets rich in fruit and vegetables against cardiovascular diseases and certain cancers have been attributed partly to the antioxidants contained therein, particularly the phenolic compounds (Hertog et al., 1993; Benavente-García et al., 2007). Flavonoids are a widely distributed group of polyphenolic compounds which have been reported to act as antioxidants in various biological systems (Saskia et al., 1996; Benavente-García et al., 1997). The Mediterranean diet has been associated with a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease and cancer. The major lipid component of such a diet is olive oil. Some polyphenols from olive oil and leaves have recently been found to act as antioxidant compounds and therapeutic agents in the treatment of several vascular disorders (Table 102.1). The polyphenolic compounds present in virgin olive oil, which are also present in olive leaves, are responsible for the protective effects in acute and chronic inflammation (Martínez-Domínguez et al., 2001). They were able to scavenge superoxide anion and to depress its production in the cells (Leger et al., 2000) and may explain some of the protective effects found in epidemiological studies of cardiovascular disease (Patrick and Uzick, 2001). Recent reports have specifically shown the antioxidant properties of the main polyphenols present in olive extracts, oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol. Thus, both polyphenols show a substantial degree of inhibition against lipid peroxidation in vivo in liver microsomes (Gutierrez et al., 2001), in oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide or xanthine oxidase in vitro (Manna et al., 1997), increase the LDL resistance to oxidation and reduce the plasmatic levels of total, free and esterified cholesterol (Coni et al., 2000). According to all these data, oleuropein and/or its metabolites may confer a positive health benefit most likely via an antioxidant mechanism (Edgecombe et al., 2000). Free radical formation is associated with the normal natural metabolism of aerobic cells. The oxygen consumption inherent in cell growth leads to the generation of a series of oxygen free radicals. The interaction of these species with lipid molecules produces new radicals: hydroperoxides and different peroxides (Benavente-García et al., 1997, 2000)."

When you do so you become more radiant, life flows more effortlessly and you are blessed with good health and success." Do invite all your friends to take advantage of this amazing gift so that more and more people have the possibility to consciously choose to include Theriaca Elixir®in their Lives! What will you find out in this amazing e-Book? Theriaca Elixir® is the ultimate botanical formula for vitality and well-being in the 21st Century. To explain more: • It is an anti-oxidant so it assists in removing many toxins from the body. • It is an alkalinising elixir, which means that it changes the chemistry of the body to change the physical environment to a healing one. • It is an adaptogen which means the more you drink the stronger the effect the healing by boosting organs, energy levels, hormone balance and a sense of mental well-being. • It contains virtually all the beneficial minerals known to man so it replaces trace minerals that are very much missing in the modern diet. • It has substances similar to antibiotics, which help to heal the body from parasites and viruses. • It contains saponins which are immune stimulants that are especially useful in times of low energy and disease. • It also contains germanium and Pau d'Arco, which oxygenate the body and are especially useful if you smoke, live in polluted cities or don't exercise. • It contains beta-glucans which are amazingly healing for weak bodies. Theriaca Elixir® also contains ingredients that are not fully researched but have been shown in native societies to create an amazing sense of health and freedom from disease, extending life so that people are very long-lived without losing mental or physical faculties. And of course, Theriaca Elixir® contains Tony Samara's alchemical magic. The mixture is in a very specific proportion that makes it much more than the ingredients as they synergistically work together. A little bit similar to an ancient formula called ESSIAC formula, but much more relevant in today's world. Theriaca Elixir contains very high levels of the only vegetarian source of Vitamin D thanks to the medicinal mushroom powders Maitake, Shiitake and Reishi. Here is an extensive article about this wonder Vitamin written by Dr. Mercola. The Astonishing Power of Vitamin D to Transform Your Health In recent years vitamin D has emerged as a star of the “vitamin” world. For example, there are currently over 800 studies showing vitamin D’s effectiveness against cancer. Optimizing your vitamin D levels can literally cut your risk of several cancers by 50 percent! Further, middle aged and elderly people with high levels of vitamin D could reduce their chances of developing heart disease or diabetes by 43 percent. How Does Vitamin D Do What it Does? Vitamin D is actually a “prohormone,” which your body produces from cholesterol. Because it is a prohormone, vitamin D influences your entire body -- receptors that respond to the vitamin have been found in almost every type of human cell, from your brain to your bones. So what modern science has now realized is that vitamin D does more than just aid in the absorption of calcium and bone formation, it is also involved in multiple repair and maintenance functions, touches thousands of different genes, regulates your immune system, and much, much more. Just one example of an important gene that vitamin D up-regulates is your ability to fight infections, as well as chronic inflammation. It produces over 200 anti microbial peptides, the most important of which is cathelicidin, a naturally occurring broad-spectrum antibiotic. This is one of the explanations for why it’s so effective against colds and influenza. In addition, since vitamin D also modulates (balances) your immune response, it can prevent an overreaction in the form of inflammation, which can lead to a variety of autoimmune disorders, such as Crohn’s disease for example. When you consider the fact that you only have about 25,000 genes in your body, and vitamin D has been shown to influence nearly 3,000 of them, the bigger picture of its true impact on your health can be easily understood. It may, in fact, have literally thousands of health benefits! However, it’s also very clear that unless you have taken specific measures to address it, the odds are overwhelming that you are deficient in this important nutrient. Are You Vitamin D Deficient? Vitamin D deficiency is a growing epidemic across the world and is contributing to many chronic debilitating diseases. There are a few reasons for this trend. First, most people spend far too much time indoors during daytime hours. You may also have also been seriously misled by “expert’” recommendations to avoid all sun exposure, and to slather yourself with sunscreen whenever you do go outside. Please understand that sunscreen will virtually eliminate your body’s ability to produce any vitamin D because it blocks the UVB radiation that causes your skin to produce it naturally. As a result, in the United States the late winter average vitamin D is only about 15-18 ng/ml, which is considered a very serious deficiency state. In fact, new studies show that about 85 percent of the U.S. population is vitamin D deficient. This is primarily related to the recent appreciation that your levels of vitamin D should be MUCH higher than previously thought. Consider the following vitamin D facts: • Vitamin D deficiency is epidemic in adults of all ages who have increased skin pigmentation, such as those whose ancestors are from Africa, the Middle East, or India, who always wear sun protection, or who limit their outdoor activities. • African Americans and other dark-skinned people and those living in northern latitudes make significantly less vitamin D than other groups. • 60 percent of patients with type 2 diabetes have vitamin D deficiency. • Studies showed very low levels of vitamin D among children, the elderly, and women. • One nationwide study of women revealed that almost half of the African American women of childbearing age might be vitamin-D deficient. • Winter, when sun exposure is at its lowest, is the time of year when you need to be most concerned about the amount of vitamin D you are receiving, as your vitamin D levels can drop by up to 50 percent in the winter. Of course, if you have the tendency to spend the summer months indoors, out of the sun, or you only go outside with sunscreen on, then you would need to be concerned during the summer months as well. The Many Health Benefits of Vitamin D It’s absolutely tragic that dermatologists and sunscreen manufacturers have done such a thorough job of deterring people from the sun -- your optimal source for natural vitamin D. Their widely dispersed message to avoid the sun as much as possible, combined with an overall cultural trend of spending more time indoors during both work and leisure time, has greatly contributed to the widespread vitamin D deficiency seen today -- which in turn is fueling an astonishingly diverse array of common chronic diseases, including: Cancer, Hypertension, Heart disease, Autism, Obesity, Rheumatoid arthritis, Diabetes 1 and 2, Multiple Sclerosis, Crohn’s disease, Cold & Flu, Inflammatory, Bowel Disease, Tuberculosis, Septicemia, Signs of aging, Dementia, Eczema & Psoriasis, Insomnia, Hearing loss, Muscle pain, Cavities, Periodontal disease, Osteoporosis, Macular degeneration, Reduced C-section risk, Pre eclampsia, Seizures, Infertility, Asthma, Cystic fibrosis, Migraines, Depression, Alzheimer’s disease, Schizophrenia Vitamin D Against Cancer A study by Dr. William Grant, Ph.D., internationally recognized research scientist and vitamin D expert, found that about 30 percent of cancer deaths -- which amounts to 2 million worldwide and 200,000 in the United States -- could be prevented each year with higher levels of vitamin D. Other studies showed that you can decrease your risk of cancer by more than half simply by optimizing your vitamin D levels with sun exposure. Vitamin D has a protective effect against cancer in several ways, including: • Increasing the self-destruction of mutated cells (which, if allowed to replicate, could lead to cancer) • Reducing the spread and reproduction of cancer cells • Causing cells to become differentiated (cancer cells often lack differentiation) • Reducing the growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones, which is a step in the transition of dormant tumors turning cancerous We thank you for taking the time to read through this article and we invite you to let us know if you have any questions on the matter as we are more than happy to help you understand deeper the complexity of Theriaca Elixir in its totality. We invite you also to let us know your feedback and testimonial which enrich the world of Theriaca Elixir. The Theriaca Elixir Team Theriaca Elixir Newsletter • September 2010 01/09/2010
Theriaca Elixir is one of the leading botanical formulations in the market when it comes to slowing down your aging process and help stave off heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. In order to achieve this very common situation we would like to offer you some tips on how to do it: Free radicals. Free radicals are chemically unstable molecules that attack your cells and damage your DNA. You can limit your exposure to them by avoiding cigarettes, trans fats, charred meats, and other sources. Theriaca Elixir is a very powerful mixture of ingredients such as Jiaogulan, Suma, Cat's Claw, Olive Leaf, Chaga mushroom, Muscadine grape, Agaricus Blazei Murrill and Tulsi which easily fight free radicals preventing your body from deteriorating quicker. Organic fruits and vegetables will also limit your exposure to pesticides and herbicides, which contain the harmful molecules. Inflammation. Inflammation is a major player in many diseases of aging, including cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and Alzheimer's. One way to avoid it is to follow a Mediterranean-style vegetarian diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables which are in season. Other great anti-inflammatory ingredients present in Theriaca Elixir include Turmeric, Licorice, Pau d'arco and Elder flower, and the anti-aging compound RESVERATROL can be found for instance in Grape Seed Extract and Muscadine which are also present in Theriaca Elixir. Exercise is another great way to lower inflammation. Glycation. Glycation is what happens when sugar mixes with proteins and fats to form molecules that promote aging. Advanced glycation end products, or AGEs, are thought to accelerate your aging process by churning out free radicals and promoting inflammation. One way to avoid ingesting AGEs is to turn down the heat when you cook. The browning effect of high-heat cooking causes these molecules to form. Limiting your intake of sugar-filled foods in general will also help. Stress. Stress initiates the release of a variety of hormones that make your pulse race and cause your blood pressure to rise. The hormone cortisol, released to lessen these effects, also creates problems when it remains chronically elevated. Try practicing relaxation techniques to help manage stress like the "Nostril Meditation" by Tony Samara http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVKtN0xmB_s, and get enough sleep every night. Choosing high quality products like Theriaca Elixir can not only provide you with an immensely high quantity of RESVERATROL hence keeping the FREE RADICALS in your body under harmonious balance, but can also provide you with the purest forms of compounds, vitamins, mineral and trace minerals, flavonoids, polyphenols, beta-glucans and antioxidants since it uses only organic and wild-crafted ingredients.

Time as we perceive it is accelerating and passing us by very fast and the precious moments that remain are vital to be used in the most conscious way possible. Recently we have had one of our team member overcome a very intense health situation which brought us all to an alertness of what means to be alive and to cherish every moment as a learning opportunity. Theriaca is today one of the few products in the world which can guide us to a more aware state of our mental, physical, psychological and spiritual health. We invite you to share Theriaca with your communities and friends as a way to promote health, vitality and well-being which is a must so that we can face the challenges which nowadays are being more and more regular. Theriaca is ever evolving and is introducing two new more ingredients. As all the other ingredients that make Theriaca a super booster for any season, these two new ones are extremely beneficial for our bodies’ optimal well-being. Shiitake and Coriolus Versicolor are two medicinal mushrooms that contribute immensely to keep our immune system at its peak performance and enhance our physical balance. Please read below a more complete explanation about the properties of these ingredients. Lentinula edodes (Shiitake) The Shiitake is the most popular edible mushroom in Japan. The Asians have used it for thousands of years as a tonic and stimulant to increase vitality, prevent cerebral hemorrhage strokes, as well as improve circulation. Currently, scientists in the west are studying the shiitake mushroom by extracting lentinan, a substance found in this type of mushroom. Research by the scientific community is curious about the anti-tumor, Cholesterol, and blood pressure lowering properties. In Japan, a highly purified form of this substance has been approved and is being used to fight cancer and help with chemotherapy. Partly because evidence has shown lentinan as helpful in reducing chromosomal damage that is caused by pharmaceutical anti-cancer drugs. Eritadenine is also found in the shiitake mushroom. This compound is believed to be responsible for reducing blood levels of cholesterol and fats by promoting their excretion. Another healthy compound in the shiitake mushroom is lentinula edodes mycelium (LEM). LEM is thought to be helpful in not only treating and preventing cancer, but also Heart Disease, Hypertension, infectious diseases and also Hepatitis. Trametes versicolor (Coriolus versicolor) Its main effects are to strengthen the immune system, particularly by enhancing the workings of one of the most critical cells, known as T helper cells. T helper cells tell all the other cells in the immune system what to do and to what degree, and when to stop. In cancer, the runaway cells often secrete compounds known as cytokines that give false signals to immune cells to stop working. This further enhances the ability of the cancer to survive. An unfortunate side effect of chemotherapy and radiation therapy is that they further damage the immune system, in part by inadvertently killing T helper cells. Turkey tail mushroom has been the subject of a large number of controlled clinical trials in Asia showing that it can help rebuild the immune system in people with a wide range of cancers. The benefit is quite powerful, for it has been demonstrated again and again that turkey tail, taken together with mainstream cancer therapies, significantly lengthens lifespan by as much as double. Turkey tail may also improve quality of life by reducing susceptibility to infections and other negative effects of having a suppressed immune system. More research is needed to quantify these effects, but they should not be overlooked, as living well is just as important as living. Because of its positive effects on the immune system, it's possible that turkey tail mushroom could prevent cancer or help other conditions in which immune suppression is a major problem, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Turkey Tail contains several polysaccharides demonstrated to be antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, inhibit Candida, bolster immunity, protect the liver and kidneys.

Grapefruit Seed Extract Also, to let you know that Tony has decided that he no longer wishes to include grapefruit seed extract in the ingredients of Theriaca Elixir. Should you have it listed anywhere (on your websites or flyers etc) now would be a good time to remove it. We appreciate your comments, feedback, healing stories, etc so that we can pass them on to everyone to help this wonderful healing elixir be discovered by more and more people. Here is one testimonial received recently from the UK "Never thought I would love my tea so much! I was prepared for a bitter taste, uninteresting at best, and oh what a lovely surprise. It is good for me AND tastes great. That is a first!!" The Theriaca Elixir Team Theriaca Elixir NEWSLETTER • May 2009 01/05/2009
Swine Flu - The Importance of Theriaca Elixir Daily Theriaca Elixir has been created for epidemics such as swine flu as this will not be the only epidemic to challenge the world. I would suggest drinking Theriaca Elixir daily and you will find that your immune system then is much less likely to be in a position to get these types of new diseases. I am also creating a new remedy that is Theriaca Elixir in tablet form which will be a super dose of the herbs and this should be ready by the end of the summer. In the meantime, let your friends know about Theriaca Elixir (www.TheriacaElixir.org) as all research shows that the synergistic combination of ingredients in this product is one of the most powerful ways of keeping the body vital and healthy. Please read below as a reminder about Theriaca Elixir and its importance in our everyday lives. Love Tony “In today's world nutrition is vital. We may get occasional and life-sustaining nutrients from our everyday diet but to catch up and keep up with today's extraordinary demands we must seek out essential nutrients and minerals to flood our systems so that our health is not only optimal but our well-being is functioning at its peak. This entails eating fresh and natural foods such as vegetables, fruits, grains, and nutrient dense herbs such as Theriaca Elixir that cleanse and supplement and super-charge the whole process of living that is missing in today's modern society. The Weston A. Price Foundation speaks about the vitamins and nutrients present in fresh food becoming more optimum in the presence of certain naturally occurring co-factors such as trace minerals and vitamins. These trace minerals, vitamins and co-factors are abundantly present in Theriaca Elixir and are what give this product its tremendous life-giving synergy. Part of what makes Theriaca Elixir an essential part of our daily routine is its supply of an incredible depth and breadth of critical anti-oxidants like superoxide dismutase (SOD) and a host of other key micro-nutrients including saponins which have been found to support the immune system in an incredible and remarkable way. All of the ingredients have centuries of tradition and are supported by impressive research and today are being discovered as wonder nutrients by the scientific community. The unique ingredients have powerful anti-aging, anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, antiseptic, anti-bacterial, anti-tumor as well anti-oxidant properties of awesome proportions. Studies of these compounds confirm that they protect, heal and even reverse modern day sicknesses. These powerful ingredients revitalise the bodies most fragile tissues preventing abnormal cell growth. They help stop oxidation, inflammation and the damaging cycle of disease before it starts. Historically mankind used herbs as a powerful means to protect and enhance health and well-being helping to create longevity, rejuvenation and a sense of extraordinary well-being that helps us today to re-experience these extraordinary health benefits. Theriaca Elixir is a powerful nutritive energiser and cleanser. It works gently yet when taken for 2 or 3 months creates an amazing balance that is sensed not only on the physical level but also in the mind and the emotions. This balance is due to its synergistic and adaptogenic effects. Modern society has shown an increase in many physiological and psychological problems such as insomnia, irritability, lack of energy as well as cancer, heart problems, diabetes and immune disorder. The good news is that we today know that many rare essential minerals and nutrients can reverse and prevent what has become a major issue for many of us despite modern advances in medicine.” Tony Samara - 2008 The Theriaca Elixir Team Theriaca Elixir NEWSLETTER • January 2009 01/01/2009
Thank you for introducing Theriaca Elixir to so many people around the world in 2008. We appreciate that in 2009 we will continue to reach people from various countries so that all have access to this wonderful product. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Resveratrol is a major component of Theriaca Elixir as it is found in many of the ingredients. Resveratrol has been linked to anti-aging, a healthy glow to the skin and detoxifying of the body due to its unusually high ORAC value. Here is a little excerpt from an article, by Harvard researchers, we received recently that you may enjoy reading. Resveratrol Linked to Healthy Aging Harvard researchers studied three groups of mice, the first group was placed on a standard diet, the second group was placed on a high caloric diet with 60% calories from fat and the third group was placed on the same high caloric diet that was supplemented with resveratrol. The diets were started around 52 weeks of life for the mice, which would be the equivalent of middle age. At 60 weeks, the mice that were on the high caloric diet began to die and develop disease. At 114 weeks, 58% of the mice fed this high caloric diet had died, compared to only 42% of the mice that were either on the standard diet or on the high caloric diet supplemented with resveratrol. Additionally, it was found that those mice fed the resveratrol on the high fat diet had a much higher quality of life, outperforming the other mice on motor skills. They were living better, more active lives. Two years ago when the Harvard Study on resveratrol hit the news, we reviewed the study and felt that it was very significant. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - We received this question from a distributor recently which is worthy of your attention. “I get many people interested in Theriaca Elixir but they say they don't drink tea at all, it's just not part of their eating habits. So I kept wondering what to do to make them benefit from Theriaca Elixir anyway, without having to drink it. The only idea I have is to use it in the preparation of food, like a seasoning that can be used either raw in salads or cooked in prepared dishes. Used this way, will the properties of Theriaca Elixir still be kept intact? I mean, would it have the same healing properties?” Here is the reply from Tony. “We already have suggested to some people that the remains of Theriaca Elixir after brewing and drinking can be added to food and we have done this on various occasions ourselves. As for drinking tea I am not so into this either and instead I brew in the morning for one hot/warm cup and drink it cold in the afternoon. Sometimes I even add fruit juice - organic red grape juice is my favourite.” The distributor continues, “P.S. I've just prepared a stir fry (which is rare, because I eat mainly raw, but it's too cold for that at the moment). I added Theriaca Elixir and a bit of turmeric and it tastes great!” Tony's comment, “Stir fry is a great idea! If you create more recipes we can add them to the newsletter.” Tony also says, “At some point I will create Theriaca Elixir supplements but this is a future idea for when I am not so busy.” Another question today: “Is Theriaca Elixir raw? Can I use it in my Raw Food Centre?” The Answer, “Everything in Theriaca Elixir is 100% raw, organic or wild-crafted. All the items have been selected from pristine environments and preserved in a way that doesn’t detract from the plant's natural goodness. Nothing has been heated, irradiated or preserved in any of the ways that modern foodstuffs are often subjected to. Also the packaging is totally ecological. The tin being food grade with no coatings, the label being ecological utilising non-toxic inks and glues making this product as close to pure as humanly possible. Normally it is boiled to make a tea but you can heat it to 45 degrees or place it outside in the sun in a glass jar and this will create an infusion. Alternatively it can be ground and sprinkled as an amazing healing herb on top of salads and in smoothies. This is a product that you will understand by using. You will find that a lot of its properties are adaptogenic meaning that they become obvious over time as they work with different parts of your body, physically and emotionally. Hope this helps.” - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Some more exciting news about Theriaca Elixir with the addition of an amazing new ingredient. Please read the below information about Chaga from the wilderness of Siberia. According to recent scientific research lending support to a wide range of historical references, certain mushrooms are now touted by many experts to have numerous health benefits including providing anti-aging antioxidants and phytonutrient compounds that support a healthy immune system. This botanical family of fungi has powerful nutrients to maintain our health and immunity. One of the most powerful of all the mushrooms revered for their life enhancing qualities is a rare, precious mushroom called Chaga. With a mystical history, Chaga (Inonotus Obliquus) has been referred to for centuries as the 'King of Herbs". Siberian Chaga contains a unique and potent variety of antioxidants and phytonutrients when compared to other fungi or mushroom. Chaga, which grows on birch trees, was ingested by the local people of the Siberian mountain regions in tea or powder form, inhaled from smoke, and even applied to the skin for its beneficial properties in promoting good health. Chaga contains an extraordinary amount of phytonutrients such as beta glucans, (a unique family of sugars called polysaccharides known to be immune activators), special compounds such as betulinic acid, special pigments including melanins, amino acids and nucleosides. The purest and most potent Chaga is not cultivated but rather "wild-crafted", or grown naturally in the wild. Siberian Chaga, naturally found in the birch forests of the Siberian mountain regions, is the most potent of all the varieties of mushrooms. This superior grade of Chaga is harvested once only every 20 years from selective birch trees. Chaga will be introduced into all new Theriaca Elixir orders from today.

Dear Friends, As we come to the end of 2008 let us celebrate the magic of this season with the help of the wonderful elixir – Theriaca Elixir. Let us together create an awareness of Theriaca Elixir in the world and in places where Theriaca Elixir would be so greatly appreciated. We ask your help to find new Alpha distributors in countries where there are none so that we can reach more and more people. Some of these countries such as Italy, Spain, Poland, Norway, Russia, Hungary, Denmark, Netherlands all have shown interest in Theriaca Elixir. Are you able to help by introducing Theriaca Elixir to people from these places as well as continuing to reach people who live closer to home. What a great goal for 2009. Here are some points that we would like to highlight to help you with this intention. Theriaca Elixir is best shared through your personal touch - by meeting and talking to those you already know, as well as by speaking to your clients and colleagues who, when tasting the elixir and reading about the health benefits, are more than grateful that you introduced them to this unique gift for health and well-being. By providing free tastings for people to enjoy the wonderful flavour and combination of these herbs and nutrients people can learn more about the intrinsic values and experience the healing qualities of this amazing elixir personally. Alternatively, why not create an evening or a 3 hour mini-workshop at a minimal cost price to invite people to deepen their knowledge and skills of how to use Theriaca Elixir in their healing modalities whether it be for simple self-healing or as a very vital part of the healing in their clinics and practices. Perhaps you want to create a more social event whereby a circle of people gather regularly for interaction and enjoyment of Theriaca Elixir and communication of the experiences they and their friends, family and clients can be shared. It may be interesting to advertise these events or write an article for your local paper or to have some flyers made up and distribute them to your health food shops, yoga centers, vegetarian cafes, libraries, etc. Perhaps another way is to approach an alternative center or alternative healing practice or health food shop whereby they can assist with the organisation of such an event. To assist with this or any other Theriaca Elixir promotional project please go to the Theriaca Elixir media page on www.theriaca.eu where we have created information which is possible for you to download. The various flyers available can be given to people so that they can have a physical reference point for the product that they can then share with their friends and hence assist in the spreading of the Theriaca Elixir message. Alternatively, it is possible to create your own flyers. We look forward to hearing from you and we wish you the best for this Festive Solstice Season.
