This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Throughout medieval Europe, pepper was commonly traded, ounce for ounce, for gold. This irreplaceable spice has long been recognized as an ingredient for stimulating the appetite. Peppercorns can be, depending on their processing, either black, white, green and red. That is, the same plant produces all four types, depending on the time of harvest and the method of processing. 'Black pepper' is harvested nearly ripe and dried at a moderate temprature. 'White pepper' is harvested fully ripe, so that the outer hull can be easily removed, usually by soaking. This produces an equally strong, but less flavorful pepper. 'Green pepper' is harvested unripe, and then either pickled in salt or vinegar, or quick-dried. This produces a less pungent, more herbal flavor. 'Red pepper' is harvestedripe, and then pickled in salt or vinegar. This produces a very pungent, aromatic and tasty pepper that, since the pickling stopped the natural fermentation, still retains some of the more herbal flavor of the green variety. This is probably the most widely used spice in the world. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Aromatic, stimulant, carminative; is said to possess febrifuge properties.... As a gargle it is valued for relaxed uvula, paralysis of the tongue. On account of its stimulant action it aids digestion and is specially useful in atonic dyspepsia and torbid condition of the stomach. It will correct flatulence and nausea. It has also been used in vertigo, paralytic and arthritic disorders. It is sometimes added to quinine when the stomach will not respond to quinine alone. It has also been advised in diarrhoea, cholera, scarlatina, and in solution for a wash for tinea capititis. Piperine should not be combined with astringents, as it renders them inert.' King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Black pepper is a gastro-intestinal stimulant, and is much used as a condiment to improve the flavor of food, and to favor its digestion by stimulating the stomach. It has been advantageously used as a carminative to remove flatulency, and to correct the nauseating or griping quality of other drugs, and is sometimes added to quinine in cases where the stomach, from torpidity or other cause, is not acted upon by the quinine alone. 'As a gastric stimulant it is very valuable in congestive chill, cholera morbus, and associated with hydrastis, nux vomica, or other stomachic bitters is effectual in atonic dyspepsia. Combined with macrotys it has rendered good service in atonic amenorrhoea and dysmenorrhoea.' |

• Promotes Joint Comfort* • Promotes Healthy Connective Tissue* Glucosamine helps provide the building blocks for healthy cartilage and maintain structural integrity of joints and connective tissue.* Glucosamine is a building block for joint fluid, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, membranes and blood vessels.* Primary Use: Supports healthy joint function.* Glucosamine sulfate is produced from shrimp shells, which have esentially the same biochemistry as human cartilage. Glucosamine is not only safe but an active supporter of proteoglycan synthesis (i.e., a producer of cartilage macromolecules consisting of a protein bound to a glucosaminoglycan). There is increasing evidence that Glucosamine does in fact relieve joint pain and inflammation for many arthritis sufferers, and that it may slow progressionof the disease. Because of its ability to reduce and--in some cases--completely eliminate the pain of osteoarthritis, some physicians and researchers feel Glucosamine might offer similar benefits for people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, spinal disc degeneration, tendinitis, bursitis, and physical injuries to the joints. There is even speculation that it could play a preemptive role, eliminating the development of osteoarthritis. Glucosamine stimulates the production of glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans, two essential building blocks of cartilage. This appears to 'jump start' the body’s own natural production of Glucosamine. Combining Glucosamine with chondroitin Sulphate has been demonstrated to increase its effectiveness. Glucosamine has been used to treat osteoarthritis in Europe since the 1980s. Several recent scientific studies have supported its effectiveness, and its popularity in the U.S. is spreading quickly. In November 1999, a Belgian group of researchers presented a study to the American College of Rheumatology showing that glucosamine may slow the progression of osteoarthritis of the knee. At a recent symposium of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the official 'green light' was given to glucosamine as a valid therapeutic alternative when NSAIDs such as aspirin and ibuprofen are ineffective or contraindicated. Other clinicians at the symposium suggested that glucosamine could be recommended as first-line therapy in selected patients with osteoarthritis. Glucosamine, in either the Sulphate, HCL, or acetylated forms, is so safe that it is a dietary supplement not even subject to FDA approval. This product is manufactured at our own state of the art facility. |

This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Used as an infusion, decoction, tincture and poultice. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Comfrey herb for 'External: Bruises, sprains. Note: Application should only occur on intact skin. During pregnancy use only after consultation with a physician.' 'Dosage: Ointments and other preparations for external application with 5 - 20 percent dried drug; equivalent preparations. The daily applied dosage should not exceed 100 µg (mcg) of pyrrolizidine alkaloids with 1,2-unsaturated necine structure, including their N-oxides. Mode of Administration: Comminuted herb and other galenical preparations for external use. Duration of Administration: Not more than 4 - 6 weeks per year. Action: Antiinflammatory.' Comfrey has an ancient reputation as a wound-healer. Comfrey abounds in the healing agents mucilage and allantoin. A water extract of comfrey has been shown to stimulate production of protective substances known as prostaglandins in the stomachs of experimental animals, thus confirming comfrey’s ancient reputation. These same constituents make it useful for bronchitis and diarrhea. Note that, unlike the old herbalists, the Commission E recommends external Comfrey use only. The FDA warns of the potential for liver damage: 'The pyrrolizidine alkaloids that are present in comfrey, in addition to being potent hepatotoxins, have also been shown to be toxic to other tissues as well. There is also evidence that implicates these substances as carcinogens. Taken together, the clear evidence of an association between oral exposure to pyrrolizidine alkaloids and serious adverse health effects and the lack of any valid scientific data that would enable the agency to determine whether there is an exposure, if any, that would present no harm to consumers, indicates that this substance shouldnot be used as an ingredient in dietary supplements.' Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'As the plant abounds in mucilage, it is frequently given whenever a mucilaginous medicine is required and has been used like Marshmallow for intestinal troubles. It is very similar in its emollient action to Marshmallow, but in many cases is even preferred to it and is an ingredient in a large number of herbal preparations. It forms a gentle remedy in cases of diarrhoea and dysentery.' 'A decoction is made by boiling ½ to 1 oz. of crushed root in 1 quart of water or milk, which is taken in wineglassful doses, frequently. For its demulcent action it has long been employed domestically in lung troubles and also for quinsy and whooping-cough. The root is more effectual than the leaves and is the part usually used in cases of coughs. It is highly esteemed for all pulmonary complaints, consumption and bleeding of the lungs. A strong decoction, or tea, is recommended in cases of internal haemorrhage, whether from the lungs, stomach, bowels or |
