(Milk Vetch Root)
Powerful immune system builder.
Comes to us f rom Chinese herbal medicine with the recommendation
of nearly 2,000 years of recorded satisfactory use as a powerful
immune system builder.
We know from use and clinical investigation in the Western world
that the root of this legume (a type of plant which enriches the
soil and produces proteins by having nodules or "bumps" on its roots
that collect nitrogen from the air) does indeed activate the liver
to produce a substance called interferon. Interferon holds tightly
to the surface of body cells and causes them to produce the body's
own antibodies (proteins) which kill viruses and viral infections.
This can be especially helpful where drug medicine has no answer.
Also, please understand that many times a vaccination or immunization
can leave lingering viruses to masquerade as a whole host of symptoms
and baffling "diseases" which are seldom connected with being
the true cause.
As just a single instance, who would ever think of warts under the
eyes or elsewhere as being a side effect of an immunization, but
they can be.
Astragalus, with its ability to see to it that
viruses are killed, can be very helpful as an answer
to the common cold provided a person has a decent diet and 2 to
3 bowel movements per day.
Because viruses are killed, pus is expelled from wounds and they
are healed. Astragalus also works to improve appetite where needed,
and either cause the skin to sweat and expel poisons or, if perspiration
is unwarranted, reduce it.
Astragalus strengthens the ability to digest, repairs
chronic lung problems, reduces fluid swellings, provides energy
by being an adrenal gland(s) nutrient and increases circulation.
Astragalus and another Chinese herb Dong Quai (Chinese Angelica)
are often used in combination for this purpose.
Dose: 40 to 80 drops 3 times a day.
If Dong Quai is also taken to form a team, then take both in the
same amount.
