What Is
Advanced Holistics |
When we feel any ache, pain or other symptom,
our first thought is, of course, relief. But, as we all
know by now, treating symptoms while ignoring cause is a sure road
to ruin. The common headache is a perfect example.
When we have a headache, we experience it
as pain in the cranial region. But, it is caused by stagnation of
Qi (chee) in the Liver System.
Qi, of course, is the Chinese name for one
of the three vital energies. When Qi stagnates in the Liver System,
excess heat is produced. Because the Liver System needs to be cool,
this excess heat is flushed up through the gall bladder channel.
As this heat reaches the back of the neck, it causes tension that
restricts the flow of blood to the brain. This reduces the blood’s
oxygen supply, which in turn gives rise to pain.
We can, of course, ease a headache’s
pain with aspirin, ibuprofen, white willow bark, feverfew
or any number of other analgesics (pain relievers). But, these analgesics
do nothing to resolve the stagnation of Liver Qi.
If not resolved, stagnation of Liver Qi
will, of course, grow more severe. As it does, it will trigger problems
that make headaches look like a picnic. Such problems can include
irritable bowel syndrome, diverticulitis, leaky gut syndrome, indigestion,
acid reflux, severe gas, bloating, ulcers, bowel spasms, and other
abdominal difficulties, ADD/ADHD, brain dysfunction, anxiety, cysts,
lumps and tenderness in the breasts, poor ovulation, any and all
premenstrual and menstrual problems, elevated liver enzymes, back
problems, inflammation of the bile duct, gallstones, bone spurs,
cramps (especially in the calves), circulatory disorders, depression,
fibrocystic disease, fibromyalgia, furuncles, goiters, hair loss,
hyperthermia, incomplete evacuation, swelling of lymph nodes, mental
disturbances, mood swings, neck pain, neuroses, any issues connected
with stress and tension, and so on.
Hopefully, this makes apparent how vitally
important it is to resolve imbalances along with the discomforts
they cause. It should also show that symptoms exist to protect
us. But, they can help only if we can correctly interpret their meaning. This
is why holistic health care is so critical.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the body
is divided into five organ systems, with the Blood being a transport
system that connects them together. For our purpose, we’ll
lump them together as six bodily systems. All health challenges
are caused by imbalances that develop in one or more of these systems, and
all imbalances are either deficiencies or excesses.
Deficiencies occur when we lack any of the
vital energies. Excesses are caused by
the accumulation of too much heat, cold, dampness, dryness, phlegm,
“wind” or toxins. Stagnation of any vital energy, or
of the Blood, is also considered an excess.
For over 4000 years, Traditional Chinese
Medicine has correlated every imaginable discomfort with the imbalances
that cause them. It has also told us how to resolve these imbalances,
so that we can readily address both symptom and cause.
To do both, however, four steps are
required. First, of course, we must relieve the symptom. Second,
we must nourish, or rebuild the vital energies that are deficient.
Third, we must cleanse, or clear offending excesses.
Finally, we must restore normal cellular function by repairing cellular
damage to the greatest extent possible.
The best natural substances for relieving
symptoms are the modern nutraceuticals produced in the United States,
Europe, Canada and Japan. They are far more potent than traditional
holistic remedies, and often as effective as drugs without the dangers
of side effects or contraindications. Combining them with
the substances holistic traditions would use for relief makes them
even more effective, so that discomforts are relieved more quickly
and completely than either modern nutraceuticals or holistic remedies
could accomplish on their own.
To rebuild vital energies, Superior Tonic
Herbs are required. There is simply nothing else on Earth that can
accomplish this.
To cleanse excesses from the body, clearing
herbs are used. These herbs are never included in general nutritional
products (like multiples) because they serve no purpose unless the excesses they
resolve are present. The discomforts we are trying to resolve, of
course, tell us whether or not such excesses exist.
To restore cellular efficiency, we turn
again to Superior Tonics, for they are the plants that contain the
phyto-nutrients that do this best. Frankly, it is unclear whether
the phyto-nutrients in Superior Tonics actually repair damage
themselves, or simply bolster the body’s own repair mechanisms.
But, either way, 4000 years of experience shows that they do, in
fact, improve the function of organ systems, which is possible only
if the performance of cells within those systems improves.
Because our Advanced Holistics 4 Way Support Systems are among the very few supplements in the world that accomplish all four of these goals, they will relieve your
discomforts more quickly and completely than any other supplements
you have ever used. As they do, they will also resolve your deficiencies
and excesses, and thus help you rebuild health as no other supplements
can.
At this point, there are eight “Advanced
Holistics” formulas. These are, 4 Way Prostate Support System,
4 Way Joint Support System, 4 Way Brain Support System, 4 Way Stress
Support System, 4 Way Libido Support System, 4 Way Virility Support
System, Transitions and Energy Plus. Transitions and Energy Plus
do not carry the Advanced Holistics logo because they were formulated
before we developed the Advanced Holistics brand. Because people
are accustomed to them as they are, we have left them in their original
packaging. They are, however, in every way, 4 Way Systems in their
own rights.
