Though scientists aren’t sure which compound (or compounds) in shell
ginger reduce thyroid hyperactivity, they have seen it work. In fact, they think
it may also work to restore underactive thyroid (called hypothyroidism) as
well, since plants in the ginger family often work as adaptogens, which work
to balance systems in whichever way they need.
Erasing eczema quickly and easily
Dr. Makise has also treated hundreds of patients suffering from eczema
(officially called atopic dermatitis), with stunning results. Rather than follow-
ing the mainstream protocol of cortisone ointment—which lose power, and
can cause unpleasant side effects—he takes the “inside out” approach, with a
shell ginger twist.
For years he treated people with a focused mix of vitamins, minerals, and
herbs, which was effective, “but not perfect.” Then in June 2009, he started
adding shell ginger into the regimen for more than one hundred patients—
and he saw better results almost right away.
One reason for shell ginger’s success here, believes Dr. Makise, is its detox-
ification effect. Many patients starting on shell ginger notice an immediate
improvement in their bowel movements—and that’s essential for detoxification.
“Be careful when you take the supplement of shell ginger,” says Dr.
Makise, “because 60—70% of the patients may suffer from some aggravation
of symptoms temporarily. And some may suffer from diarrhea. This is due to
the detoxification effect of shell ginger, and do not worry. Reduce the dose
and gradually increase.”
Jam-packed with healing substances
for a wide range of healthy effects
Shell ginger is packed with dozens of healing components, all with unique
curative effects on the body. No other plant contains this rare and abundant
mix of more than fifty polyphenols and plenty of bioflavonoids—and that’s
why no other plant has such widespread curative capabilities.
Take a look at some of its most powerful compounds:- Ferulic acid has powerful antioxidant properties with wide-ranging func-
tions, from anti-aging support to improved cholesterol management to
cancer prevention - Kawain (which is the key polyphenol of Kava) enhances sleep, relaxation,
and collagen production
