Detoxification & Anti-cancer

Destroys parasites in the digestive system and throughout the body.
Counteracts the effects of aluminum, lead and mercury poisoning.
Removes toxic accumulations in the fat, lymph, bone marrow, bladder, and alimentary canals.
Neutralizes acids, absorbs toxins in the bowel, and eliminates both.
Relieves the liver of its burden of detoxification by converting fatty toxins into water-soluble substances that can then be easily eliminated through the kidneys.
Purifies the blood.
Protects against toxins entering the brain.
Protects the body against radiation and X-rays.
Increases the production of antibodies like lymphocytes and T-cells in the thymus gland, which is the defender of our immune system.
Protects the cells against free radicals.

Blood Sugar Control

Improves the functions of the pancreas and spleen by increasing the effectiveness of insulin.
Increases the appetite for healthful foods.
Decreases sugar cravings due to better blood sugar control.

Cardio Support

Prevents the buildup of excess fatty deposits in artery walls, heart, kidney and liver.
Regulates cholesterol levels by transforming sugar and fat into energy.
Increases red cell production, and keeps them from rupturing.
Increases the body's ability to utilize oxygen by raising the oxygen level in the tissue cells.
Increases energy available.

Joint Health & Structural Support

Strengthens and improves the functioning of muscles, organs and tissues.
Makes bones, joints, ligaments, lungs, and membranes strong and flexible, and therefore less vulnerable to stress or stress injuries.
Promotes the absorption of fluids in the tissues.
Reduces, perhaps eliminates, heavy metal deposits in tissues (especially those surrounding the joints) to reduce inflammation and stiffness.

General

Assists the liver to produce lecithin, which forms part of the myelin sheath, a white fatty material that encloses nerve fibers.
Maintains the balance between potassium and sodium within the body so that the fluid inside and outside each cell is regulated; in this way, cells are nourished with nutrients and are also cleansed properly.
Converts calcium and potassium oxalates into a harmless form by making them solvent in the urine. Regulates the amount of oxalic acid delivered to the kidneys, thus reducing the risk of stone formation in the gall bladder, kidneys, or urinary tract.
Relieves pain.
Speeds up wound healing by regenerating the damaged area.
Nourishes and stimulates the brain and nervous system.
Boosts mood and leads to an improved sense of well being.
