KelP—Seaweeds such as kelp and dulse are a rich source of vitamins A, B, C and
contains 50 minerals including a large amount of iodine. It improves digestion by
stimulating the digestive secretions in the stomach and pancreas. Kelp nourishes
the glandular system including the pituitary thus affecting the entire body. Thyroid
function is improved by the iodine supplied in kelp and this increases metabolism.
Kelp increases oxygen consumption in the heart muscle, lower blood pressure
and increase stamina and fat burning during workouts. Kelp reduces cholesterol
by increasing the elimination of bile acids and bile salts. Brown kelp binds with
radioactive elements and heavy metals in the digestive tract rendering them
harmless or unabsorbable. Seaweeds help reduce the impact on the body from
environmental poisons thereby lowering our potential risk for cancer. Kelp helps
remove plaque from the arteries, gall bladder and kidneys by removing the heavy
metals which bind the plaque together. It cleanses and strengthens the entire body
improving energy levels, overcomes fatigue, suppresses appetite and is antibiotic.
Take 1 tablespoon or 6 tablets daily. 1 teaspoon of kelp contains approximately
one thousand times more calcium than a glass of milk.


licorice—The licorice plant (Glycyrrhiza glabra) aids adrenals, digestion,
detoxification, normalizes hormones, anti-inflammatory, protects liver, regulates
immunity, anti-viral. Licorice may reduce immune hyper-activation caused by the
shock to the nervous system during kundalini awakening. Recent studies have
found licorice has remarkable rejuvenating effects on the cells of the digestive
system, liver and to treat the gastrointestinal and urinary tracts with its soothing
and coating action. Licorice root is anticancer, antiarthritic, antitoxic, anti-
inflammatory, antibiotic, and of coarse antioxidant.


maca—Maca’s traditional use in Andean culture is to energize, revitalize and
regulate: to increase physical strength, regulate menstruation, lessen menopause
symptoms and help with insomnia. Recommended for malnutrition, convalescence,
memory loss, fatigue, and mental weakness and as an aphrodisiac and aid to fertility.
Maca is nutritious, believed to provide precursors that regulate the hypothalamus
and pituitary glands controlling the release of sex hormones, pancreatic enzymes
and adrenal gland hormones.


morinGa—(Moringa Oleifera) The Miracle Tree has over 90 naturally occurring
nutritional compounds and is the most nutritious plant so far discovered. Except
for the bark, which can be toxic, all parts of the tree are edible. The dried-powdered
leaves of Moringa Oleifera provide 7x the vitamin C of oranges, 4x the calcium
of milk, 4x the vitamin A of carrots, 3x the iron of spinach, 3x the potassium of
bananas, and 2x the protein of yogurt. Moringa is considered to have the highest
protein ratio of any plant so far identified; the cake left after oil extraction contains
58.9% crude protein. When Moringa seeds are crushed and added to dirty, bacteria
laden water, they purify the water. Moringa seed oil won’t spoil or turn rancid
and is used in cooking and cosmetics; it is also used as a preservative. Moringa
oliefera Seed Oil Seeds yield 38–40% of a non-drying oil, known as Ben Oil,
contains 65.7% oleic acids among the fatty acids. Due to its high quantities of
