200 mushroom species, are good for our
health.
Ganoderma lucidum is one of the most
beautiful mushrooms in the world. When very
young its varnished surface is red, bright
yellow, and white. Later the white and yellow
shades disappear, but the resulting varnished,
reddish to reddish brown surface is still quite
beautiful and distinctive.
The 6 different types of Ganoderma lucidum
differentiated by color: red, purple, blue,
yellow, black, white. While Ganoderma
lucidum is annual and does not actually grow

FACTS ABOUT THE LIVER
Liver is the largest gland in the body, as well
as the only organ that can reproduce itself if
part of it eliminated.
The functions of the liver are:
*Production of the bile that is accumulated in
the gall bladder (pear shaped muscular sac
under the live). Bile is necessary for digesting
fats by emulsifying them into little bubbles,
which later are absorbed.
*Liver helps bile absorb vitamins A, D, E & K
and calcium.
*Accumulate the excess of vitamins A, B12& D
for future use.
*Help in the synthesis of fatty acids and sugars
as well as in the production of cholesterol and
in the oxidation of fats to produce energy.
* Produce fat from foods that the body does
not use, fat that later is transported through
the blood and accumulated as blood fat (in the
stomach and other areas.
*Along with the kidneys, detoxify the body.
*Control the blood sugar, acting on the
hormone thyroxin, responsible for cellular
metabolism.
*Convert excess sugar in the body into
glycogen (glucose) and store it, to be
reconverted into sugar when the body needs
energy.
Note! For our liver to be healthy, strong and
active enough to carry out more than 500
functions that it’s assigned to do in our body,
there is need for us to always take care of our
liver, by detoxifying (cleansing) it periodically
and giving it some of the nutrients that it
needs to function at its peak.
The questions are:
*How do you cleanse your liver?
*What do you give to your liver?
*How do you nourish and rejuvenate your
liver?
We are proud to recommend the Edmark
Splina Liquid Chlorophyll,Shake Off Phyto
Fiber and Bio-Elixir, they contain all the
natural medicinal and nutritional properties
that cleanse, nourish and rejuvenate the liver,

The Goodness of Ginseng
Ginseng Coffee made from the natural blend
of the finest Arabica coffee beans from Brazil
and Columbia and Korean Ginseng extract.
Ginseng coffee is a health drink that will truly
satisfy your discriminating taste.
The active ingredient of Ginseng called
Ginsenoside has the healing powers that aid in
sharpening the mind and memory as well as in
lowering the blood pressure.
Possible health benefits of ginseng
Traditionally ginseng has been
used to treat a number of
different ailments.
However, it should be noted
that ginseng's therapeutic
properties are often
questioned by Western
scientists and health
professionals because of little
"high-quality" research
determining its true
effectiveness in medicine.
The following ginseng health benefit links have been suggested:
Energy provider
Ginseng may help with stimulating physical and mental activity among
people who are weak and tired. A Mayo Clinic study revealed that
ginseng showed good results in helping cancer patients with fatigue.
Cognitive function
Ginseng may improve thinking ability and cognition. Research
published in the The Cochrane Library, conducted at the Medical
School of Nantong University in China, examined whether this claim
holds any truth.
Lead author, JinSong Geng, M.D., said that given the results of the
study "ginseng appears to have some beneficial effects on cognition,
behavior and quality of life." However, the authors of the review
cautioned that despite some positive findings, studies included in the
systematic review did not add up to a "convincing" case for ginseng's
effectiveness as a cognitive enhancer.
In commenting on the study, Richard Brown, M.D., an associate
professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia University, said: "It was a
very careful review. But as with many Chinese herbs and treatments,
while ginseng has been used by millions of people, there aren't a lot of
rigorous modern studies."
Another study, published in the Journal of Dairy Science, explored
whether it would be possible to incorporate American ginseng into
foods. The researchers developed ginseng fortified milk with sufficient
levels of ginseng to improve cognitive function.
Anti-inflammatory effects
Ginseng has seven constituents, ginsenosides, which may have
immune-suppressive effects , according to results of experiments which
were published in the Journal of Translational Medicine
Allan Lau, who led the study, said that "the anti-inflammatory role of
ginseng may be due to the combined effects of these ginsenosides,
targeting different levels of immunological activity, and so contributing
to the diverse actions of ginseng in humans".
Cancer prevention
There may be substances in ginseng that have anticancer properties. A
few population studies in Asia have linked the herb's consumption to a
lower risk of cancer. 1
Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center researchers found that Ginseng
improved survival and quality of life after a diagnosis of breast cancer.
The American Cancer Society said that "clinical trials are still needed to
determine whether it is effective in people."
Erectile dysfunction
Men may take ginseng to treat erectile dysfunction . A 2002 Korean
study revealed that 60 percent of men who took ginseng noticed an
improvement in their symptoms. In addition, research published in the
British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology provided "evidence for the
effectiveness of red ginseng in the treatment of erectile
dysfunction." 2
Flu and RSV
Research published in the International Journal of Molecular Medicine
has suggested a possible link between ginseng and the treatment and
prevention of influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) . This study
was conducted in mice and found that red ginseng extract improved
the survival of human lung epithelial cells infected with influenza
virus.

Lose Weight! Stay Fit! Feel Good!
Being Overweight Puts You At Greater Risk Of
Developing Serious Health Conditions.
“2.8 million Adults die each year as a result of
being
overweight or obese”-World Health
Organization
(WHO)
Today, there are more than 1.4 billion
overweight
adults
That is more than 10% of the World
Population. This
works out to about 700 million people.
The World Health Organization(WHO) has
projected
that by 2030, 2.16 billion people will be over-
weight
by 2030.
What is overweight?
Overweight is defined as EXCESSIVE storage of
FAT
more than 20% above normal.
Why do people gain weight?
Causes of Obesity
*Over consumption of food.
*Lack of physical activities.
*Metabolism problems
*Hormonal imbalance
If you consume more calories than you use or
burn,
then you gain weight.
Because your present weight is largely
determined
by how you balance your intake of calories
from food with the energy you use in everyday
activities.
So if you consume more calories than you
burn then
you will definitely gain weight.
Example: If you consume 5000 calories per
day and
you only burn 3000, what happened to
2000? Obviously it will turn into FATS.
The human body can only support limited
extra FAT
While fat is important for storing energy and
insulating the body, after a certain point, body
fat.
Ultimately, being overweight puts you at
greater risk,
obesity can even be
life threatening!
Do you know your Body Mass Index ( BMI)?
BMI is a measurement to know whether your
weight
is appropriate to you height
How many of u are in serious health risk?
Do you know that there is an easy way to know
whether you are overweight or obese?

Benefits Of Splina Liquid
Chlorophyll - Natural Health Drink.........
EDMARK Splina Liquid Chlorophyll is a
nutritional drink made of fresh and pure liquid
chlorophyll from White Mulberry Leaves. Part
of the proven P4 Healthy Slimming Program,
Splina Liquid Chlorophyll is a rich source of
natural minerals, vitamins, proteins, trace
elements and anti-oxidants, which are essential
in balancing and maintaining the alkalinity of
the body.
Liquid Chlorophyll heals chronic conditions
both internally and externally, and
development of toxic bacteria. It counteracts
toxins in the bones, blood tissues, and
intestines; the result is that the body heals
faster.
Consumed food undergoes changes in our
body in about a day. Therefore, we must get
rid of such unwanted food residue from the
body. Otherwise, it will accumulate in the big
intestine and become toxic, which is
hazardous to our health.
Liquid Chlorophyll improves the digestive
system and bowel movement to discharge the
toxic f***s from the body.
Disease causing bacteria find it difficult to live
in the presence of liquid chlorophyll. In the
colon, liquid chlorophyll helps keep the colon
healthy by destroying disease causing bacteria.
It works well in eliminating body odors,
abscesses, and other skin sores in people as
well as animals. In fact, it's a great help for
any digestive problems, constipation, or
diarrhea. It helps in increasing peristaltic
action and relieving constipation.
It works in purifying the liver by eliminating
old toxic material. It also aids in normalizing
the secretion of digestive acids, soothing the
inflammation and reducing the excess pepsin
secretion associated with gastric juices,
promoting regeneration of damaged liver
cells.
Chlorophyll deodorizes the bowel and entire
body; a natural antiseptic to the intestinal
tract. It also aids in rebuilding damaged bowel
tissue and helps to eliminate mucus.
Reduces Pesticide Residue and
Toxin
Liquid Chlorophyll effectively reduces toxin
caused by pesticides and chemicals in the
body. It traps and forms complexes with
mutagens. Liquid chlorophyll also facilitates
the degradation of toxic metabolites.
Balances Body Acid-Alkali Level
Balances body acid-alkali levels to maintain
good health. Liquid chlorophyll provides an
excellent source of health-promoting
nutrients. Because liquid chlorophyll’s
composition contains calcium, it is highly
useful for people as well as animals with
arthritis, bone diseases, and hip dysphasia. It
is very high in RNA and DNA and has been
found to protect against the effects of
ultraviolet radiation.
Assists in Increasing Blood Counts
Liquid Chlorophyll assists red blood cells
generation to ensure sufficient oxygen and
nutrients for cell regeneration.
The brain and all body tissues function at an
optimal level in a highly oxygenated
environment. It has been roughly estimated,
that in a normally developed healthy adult,
there are approximately 600,000,000 air cells
composing the lungs, and 80 gallons of oxygen
(400 gallons of air) are inspired in 24 hours.
But how does this enormous quantity of
oxygen get into the blood? Iron is the
magnetic element which extracts oxygen, and
it there is sufficient iron in the blood, as it
passes through the lungs, it will take up the
gaseous oxygen, condense it into liquid, and
generate hemoglobin, which releases it to the
cells and tissues, enabling them to breathe
out their carbon-dioxide and other waste
gases, and re-absorb the life-giving oxygen.
Chlorophyll helps to rebuild the bloodstream.
Dr. Birscher, a research scientist, called
chlorophyll "concentrated sun power".
According to him, chlorophyll increases the
hemoglobin production, the function of the
heart, affects the vascular system, the
intestines, the uterus, and the lungs.
One great side effect of liquid chlorophyll is
that, it seems helps to either cool the body
and help balance the loss of nutrients you can
loose through sweat or dehydration on a hot
summer's day, or warm the body on a cold
winter's night. This is the normal function of
the blood and can be optimized when your
blood is healthy.
Reduces Wrinkles and Aging
The chlorophyll in mulberry contains anti-
oxidants, which can help reduce free radicals
in our body. Free radicals weaken our body,
making us more susceptible to sickness. Free
radicals are an active oxidized substance,
generated by our own body through
metabolism (breakdown of food and oxygen),
that will destroy protein, lipid and DNA. It will
affect normal cells to change and cause
various diseases to the human body. Free
radicals are a major contributor to aging.
Liquid chlorophyll is an antioxidant - it has
the ability to scavenge free radicals. It also
improves the body's natural free-radical
fighting ability by increasing the levels of
certain enzymes that help in this process. It
acts as a superb antioxidant to help support
the body in maintaining healthy tissue and
fighting the effect of aging. The results are
smoother skin, clearer complexion and
youthful looks.
Promotes Cell Regeneration and
Boosts the Immune System
And because chlorophyll helps to thicken and
strengthen the walls of the cells, it is also a
nutritional aid for the immune system. As a
nutritional supplement it accelerates tissue
cell activity and normal re-growth of cells
which helps the body heal faster.
Following is a list of disease conditions that
have either improved or cleared up entirely
by using liquid chlorophyll in conjunction
with a living foods diet:
Hepatitis and other liver diseases
All forms of anemia
Asthma and hayfever
Pyorrhea
Varicose veins
Hemorrhoids
Ulcers - internal and external
High and Low blood sugar
Offensive body odors
Sore throat
Actually chlorophyll will assist in correcting
any imbalances in the body due in part to its
high bio-available iron content. This allows
the body to utilize more oxygen, aiding in the
removal of accumulated toxins. We also know
that the internal use of chlorophyll
strengthens the cells and inhibits bacteria
growth.
Who Should take Splina Liquid
Chlorophyll
People with liver problems
People with respiratory
problems
People with rheumatism
Anemic people
Those with pale complexion
People with weight problems
Very skinny people
Very Fat people
Smokers and those who consume
alcohol frequently
Those who dislike eating
vegetables
Those who suffer from
constipation
Those who experience menstrual
pain
Those who often catch cold
Those who often have sore
throats
People with body odor and bad
breath
Busy and stressful people
Easily fatigue people
People who often eat out
How do we consume Liquid
Chlorophyll?
For daily intake of Liquid Chlorophyll, add
one tablespoon of Liquid Chlorophyll into a
glass of water, stir well and drink at lest three
times a day. It can be taken anytime as it
provides you with the essential nutrients for
better growth.
Aside from drinking, Liquid Chlorophyll can
also be used in various situations.
For diseases of the throat like tonsillitis and
laryngitis, gargle a solution of one part
chlorophyll to nine parts warm water every
two or three hours. Do not swallow this
solution due to the germs and bacteria it may
contain from gargling.
In cases of gastric or peptic ulcers, and other
cases of gastritis, the use of chlorophyll can
provide fairly immediate relief. The suggested
dosage is one tablespoon of chlorophyll in a
half glass of water taken every two hours.
Liquid chlorophyll is also appropriate for
diseases of the female organs. A solution of
one part chlorophyll to nine parts water is
very soothing applied as a do**he.

Anemia signs and symptoms vary depending
on the cause of your anemia. They may
include:
Fatigue
Weakness
Pale or yellowish skin
Irregular heartbeats
Shortness of breath
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Chest pain
Cold hands and feet
Headache At first anemia can be so mild that it goes
unnoticed. But symptoms worsen as anemia
worsens.
When to see a doctor
Make an appointment with your doctor if
you're feeling fatigued for unexplained
reasons. Some anemias, such as iron
deficiency anemia or vitamin B-12
deficiency, are common.
Fatigue has many causes besides anemia, so
don't assume that if you're tired you must be
anemic. Some people learn that their
hemoglobin is low, which indicates anemia,
when they go to donate blood. If you're told
that you can't donate blood because of low
hemoglobin, make an appointment with your
doctor.
Causes
Anemia occurs when your blood doesn't have
enough red blood cells. This can happen if:
Your body doesn't make enough red
blood cells
Bleeding causes you to lose red blood
cells more quickly than they can be
replaced
Your body destroys red blood cells
What red blood cells do
Your body makes three types of blood cells —
white blood cells to fight infection, platelets
to help your blood clot and red blood cells to
carry oxygen throughout your body.
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin — an
iron-rich protein that gives blood its red
color. Hemoglobin enables red blood cells to
carry oxygen from your lungs to all parts of
your body and to carry carbon dioxide from
other parts of the body to your lungs so that
it can be exhaled.
Most blood cells, including red blood cells,
are produced regularly in your bone marrow
— a spongy material found within the cavities
of many of your large bones. To produce
hemoglobin and red blood cells, your body
needs iron, vitamin B-12, folate and other
nutrients from the foods you eat.
Causes of anemia
Different types of anemia and their causes
include:
Iron deficiency anemia. This is the
most common type of anemia
worldwide. Iron deficiency anemia is
caused by a shortage of iron in your
body. Your bone marrow needs iron to
make hemoglobin. Without adequate
iron, your body can't produce enough
hemoglobin for red blood cells.
Without iron supplementation, this
type of anemia occurs in many
pregnant women. It is also caused by
blood loss, such as from heavy
menstrual bleeding, an ulcer, cancer
and regular use of some over-the-
counter pain relievers, especially
aspirin.
Vitamin deficiency anemia. In
addition to iron, your body needs
folate and vitamin B-12 to produce
enough healthy red blood cells. A diet
lacking in these and other key nutrients
can cause decreased red blood cell
production.
Additionally, some people may
consume enough B-12, but their
bodies aren't able to process the
vitamin. This can lead to vitamin
deficiency anemia, also known as
pernicious anemia.
Anemia of chronic disease. Certain
diseases — such as cancer, HIV/AIDS,
rheumatoid arthritis, kidney disease,
Crohn's disease and other chronic
inflammatory diseases — can interfere
with the production of red blood cells.
Aplastic anemia. This rare, life-
threatening anemia occurs when your
body doesn't produce enough red
blood cells. Causes of aplastic anemia
include infections, certain medicines,
autoimmune diseases and exposure to
toxic chemicals.
Anemias associated with bone
marrow disease. A variety of diseases,
such as leukemia and myelofibrosis,
can cause anemia by affecting blood
production in your bone marrow. The
effects of these types of cancer and
cancer-like disorders vary from mild to
life-threatening.
Hemolytic anemias. This group of
anemias develops when red blood cells
are destroyed faster than bone marrow
can replace them. Certain blood
diseases increase red blood cell
destruction. You can inherit a
hemolytic anemia, or you can develop
it later in life.
Sickle cell anemia. This inherited and
sometimes serious condition is an
inherited hemolytic anemia. It's caused
by a defective form of hemoglobin that
forces red blood cells to assume an
abnormal crescent (sickle) shape. These
irregular blood cells die prematurely,
resulting in a chronic shortage of red
blood cells.
Other anemias. There are several
other forms of anemia, such as
thalassemia and malarial anemia.
Risk factors
These factors place you at increased risk of
anemia:
A diet lacking in certain vitamins.
Having a diet that is consistently low in
iron, vitamin B-12 and folate increases
your risk of anemia.
Intestinal disorders. Having an
intestinal disorder that affects the
absorption of nutrients in your small
intestine — such as Crohn's disease and
celiac disease — puts you at risk of
anemia.
Menstruation. In general, women who
haven't experienced menopause have a
greater risk of iron deficiency anemia
than do men and postmenopausal
women. That's because menstruation
causes the loss of red blood cells.
Pregnancy. If you're pregnant and
aren't taking a multivitamin with folic
acid, you're at an increased risk of
anemia.
Chronic conditions. If you have
cancer, kidney failure or another
chronic condition, you may be at risk
of anemia of chronic disease. These
conditions can lead to a shortage of
red blood cells.
Slow, chronic blood loss from an ulcer
or other source within your body can
deplete your body's store of iron,
leading to iron deficiency anemia.
Family history. If your family has a
history of an inherited anemia, such as
sickle cell anemia, you also may be at
increased risk of the condition.
Other factors. A history of certain
infections, blood diseases and
autoimmune disorders, alcoholism,
exposure to toxic chemicals, and the
use of some medications can affect red
blood cell production and lead to
anemia.
Age. People over age 65 are at
increased risk of anemia.
