Gallstones & Kidney Stones:
Gallstones and kidney stones are a major health problem in the United States. In fact, over 600,000 people are treated by medical doctors each year for this condition. In addition, over 20 million people in the U.S. suffer from gallstones at some point in their lives.

Many uses of Stone Crusher:
Chanca Piedra, the primary ingredient in Stone Crusher, has also traditionally been used for many health problems, including: diabetes, prostate disorders, asthma, bladder infections, swelling/edema, gout (removes excess uric acid), painful joints/arthritis, jaundice, indigestion, constipation, poor circulation, excessive phlegm, bronchitis, coughs, and more!

Chanca Piedra Facts:
• Chanca piedra (literally translated: “break stone”) got its name because one of the outstanding qualities of this herb is to break up and expel both kidney stones and gall stones. It is believed to help stimulate the production of bile and to promote healthy liver and gall bladder function.
• Brazilian researchers have recently discovered powerful, long-lasting, pain-blocking activity in the Chanca piedra plant.
• Chanca piedra is also known for its liver-protecting effects against: Hepatitis types A, B, and C, herpes, and even HIV.
• Chanca piedra is customarily used to clear obstructions throughout the various internal organs of the body by promoting the elimination of mucous and stones.
• Since the 1960’s there have been a growing body of published information is on Chanca piedra. Indian and Brazilian research groups were the first to conduct these studies since the plant was indigenous to their areas, with a long history of use by its inhabitants. The antispasmodic activities of alkaloids in Chanca piedra were documented by Brazilian researchers in the mid 1980’s, which explains the popular use of the plant for kidney and bladder stones. The alkaloid extract demonstrated smooth muscle relaxation specific to the urinary and biliary tract which the researchers surmised facilitates the expulsion of kidney or bladder calculi.
• Chanca piedra gained world-wide attention in the late 1980’s due to the plant’s antiviral activity against Hepatitis B. preliminary clinical trials on children with infective hepatitis showed promising results which fueled the subsequent studies. The inactivation of Hepatitis B by Chanca piedra was reported in India in 1982. A study that followed indicated that Chanca piedra eliminated hepatitis B in mammals within 3-6 weeks.

Flaxseed Oil

Fact:

The oil of the flax plant is one of nature’s richest plant sources of the Omega 3 essential fatty acid, alpha linolenic acid (ALA) plus valuable linoleic fatty acid. Flax seed oil also contains lignans that contain powerful properties. These little seeds improve digestion, help stabilize blood glucose levels, fight tumor formation, and enhance cardiovascular health.

The Components of Flaxseed Oil

Protein: There’s about 25g of protein for every 100g of flax seeds. The protein in flax seeds is easily digested and contains a complete amino acid profile that your body needs.

Lignans: Lignans have anti-cancer, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial properties, and Flax seed has 75 to 800 percent more lignans than other vegetables and grains.

Essential Fatty Acids: Flax seed oil is a rich source of 3 essential fatty acids: alpha linolenic acid, omega 3 essential fatty acid, and omega 6 essential fatty acid.

Research has shown that majority of diets are deficient in Omega 3 essential fatty acids. This can lead to a variety of serious health problems including:

Coronary Heart Disease - Flaxseed oil helps reduce cholesterol levels, blood pressure, plaque formation, and helps strengthen the heart.

Arthritis - Studies have found that flaxseed oil can help reduce pain and inflammation causing less of a need for prescription drugs.

Cancer - Omega 3 oils (such as those in flaxseed oil) have been found to kill cancer cells without harming normal cells.

Skin Problems - Acne, eczema, psoriasis, and other skin disorders have been shown to be related to Omega 3 deficiency.

Flaxseed Oil and Blood Pressure:

In a 12-week long study of 59 men with high blood pressure, those taking 8 grams of flaxseed oil per day saw significant reductions in blood pressure compared to men who took safflower oil.

Flaxseed Oil and The Prostate:

 A study of 25 men with prostate cancer found that a low-fat diet along with ground flaxseed reduced serum testosterone, slowed the growth rate of cancer cells, and increased the death rate of cancer cells.

A small study of 15 men found that a low-fat diet along with flaxseed lowered their blood prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels and slowed the growth of benign prostate cells, suggesting that it might be useful in reducing risk of prostate cancer.

Flaxseed Oil and Dry Eyes:

 One study compared oral flaxseed oil capsules (3,000 mg daily or three capsules a day) with the antibiotic doxycycline (100 mg twice a day) for the treatment of dry eye in patients who had undergone LASIK eye surgery. Eighty-one patients (152 eyes) were treated with either 3,000 mg. daily of flaxseed oil or 100 mg twice daily of doxycycline for seven days before and after LASIK surgery. Study results indicated that flaxseed oil was just as effective as doxycycline in preventing dry eye after LASIK. An added benefit is that flaxseed oil has fewer side effects than doxycycline, making it a great alternative.

Flaxseed Oil and Digestion

Flax seeds contain 12% mucilage, which makes it a gentle, natural laxative. Flax seeds are perfect for individuals who have a sensitive stomach. Flax seed oil acts as a buffer for excess stomach acids and soothes ulcers and irritable bowel disorders. It also helps lubricate the digestive tract, absorbs toxins, and helps prevent toxic buildup in the bowl.

Evening Primrose Oil

Do you suffer from an uncomfortable or embarrassing skin condition? If so, Evening Primrose Oil may be the relief you’ve been looking for! One of the most popular, proven benefits of Evening Primrose Oil appears to be its ability to treat dry, scaly, or itchy skin conditions, such as rosacea, acne, and atopic dermatitis. It may even reduce reliance on corticosteroids by patients with certain skin conditions.

Eczema, Dermatitis, and other Skin Disorders

Today, one of the primary uses of Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) is to relieve the itchiness associated with skin conditions (such as eczema and dermatitis). Eczema symptoms can include itching, redness, and scaling. With certain skin conditions, the blood vessels become inflamed and irritated. The prostaglandins produced by Evening Primrose Oil contract the blood vessels, resulting in a reduction in redness and inflammation. There are over 30 positive human studies reporting benefits in eczema and dermatitis when using EPO. A review including 1,207 patients reported that EPO was beneficial for skin conditions, including itching, crusting, edema (excess fluid/swelling), and redness. It has even been reported effective for allergic skin conditions such as rashes, itching, or hives. EPO can be used in both children and adults for skin problems.

PMS EPO can help with symptoms of PMS, including mood swings, bloating, cramping, and breast tenderness. A study at St. Thomas Hospital in London found that when PMS suffers were given Evening Primrose Oil three times daily, 67% of the participants were symptom-free and 22% achieved partial relief. (In all total, 89% had positive results with the EPO.)

Breast Pain

EPO is officially licensed for the treatment of breast pain (mastalgia) in the United Kingdom and is considered the first-line of therapy in several European countries. In addition, EPO has been found effective at decreasing breast pain in many clinical studies.

Diabetic Neuropathy

The GLA in EPO may help to prevent and even repair nerve damage caused by diabetes. Studies have shown that symptoms such as: tingling, numbness, pain, burning, and loss of sensation associated with diabetic neuropathy improved when patients took EPO.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Studies show that the anti-inflammatory properties of EPO may provide relief for those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. Multiple Sclerosis Damage caused by inflammation in people multiple sclerosis, as well as other inflammatory processes, may be reduced or prevented with EPO supplements.

Alzheimer’s Disease

EPO is also thought to be capable of encouraging transmission of nerve impulses, making it of possible use in treating memory problems associated with Alzheimer’s disease.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome

As an anti-inflammatory agent, EPO has shown to be very effective in treating flare-ups of IBS.

Fact:

Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) is a great source of essential fatty acids. EPO contains an omega 6 essential fatty acid, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which is believed to be the active ingredient. The oil is one of the richest natural sources of Gamma-Linolenic acid as it contains about 72% Linoleic acid and 9 percent GLA.

SPECIAL NOTES:

• Taking EPO with food will help to ensure adequate absorption of GLA.

• When EPO is used to treat skin conditions, it may take several months to notice complete effects.

• People with temporal lobe epilepsy should not take Evening Primrose Oil. EPO may interfere with medications used to treat epilepsy and should be avoided by people taking anti-epileptic drugs.

• Phenothizines -- Individuals taking a class of medications called phenothiazines to treat schizophrenia should not take EPO because it may interact with these medications and increase the risk of seizures.

E-Complex

Hope For Health’s Vitamin E-Complex is the highest quality Vitamin E supplement available and is 100% natural! Our E-Complex contains the entire family of compounds called tocopherols, which are composed of: d-alpha, d-gamma, d-delta, and d-beta-tocopherol.

A Powerful Antioxidant

Vitamin E is a major antioxidant that protects the body’s cells from free radicals. As we age, the damage done by free radicals accumulates in our bodies causing cell damage. As an antioxidant, Vitamin E neutralizes the damaging effects of the free radicals and limits their production.

Heart Disease

Numerous studies have looked at the role and benefits of E-Complex supplements in heart disease. Some studies, such as the Nurse Study in 1993 involving 90,000 nurses, associated E-Complex supplementation to an astonishing 30 - 40% lower rate of coronary heart disease! One of the most compelling studies of the benefits of Vitamin E is the Women’s Health Study, in which 40,000 healthy women, 45 and older, took 600 IU of Vitamin E supplements or a placebo every other day for 10 years. Women taking the supplements had 24% fewer deaths from heart disease. Vitamin E ’s protective effect appeared even stronger in women 65 and older. Those taking the vitamin experienced a 26% reduction in cardiovascular events and a 49% reduction in cardiovascular deaths!

Beautiful Skin

Vitamin E taken orally plays a role in the anti-aging of skin. It helps skin look younger by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Also, free radicals are believed to be a part of the cause of skin aging and therefore the antioxidant activity of Vitamin E is extremely valuable for slowing down the aging process.

Menopause

E-Complex has proven extremely effective in reducing vaginal dryness and combating hot flashes. Because of this, E-Complex is being taken by many women as a safe alternative to Hormone Replacement Therapy (side effects of HRT include: an increased risk of multiple types of cancer, increased risk of blood clots, increased risk of gallbladder disease, increased risk of heart attack or stroke, and more). Why risk it? Try E-Complex, the safe alternative.

PMS

Studies show that Vitamin E is useful in treating premenstrual syndrome and fibrocystic breasts. Alzheimer’s Disease A major study published in the New England Journal of Medicine indicated 1,200 IU - 2,000 IU

of E-Complex per day is safe and slowed the progression of Alzheimer’s Disease.

Cancer Prevention and Treatment

• E-Complex helps block the formation of nitrosamines, which are carcinogens (cancer-causing agents) formed in the stomach when you eat foods that contain nitrites.

• E-Complex vitamins may also protect you against the development of cancers by enhancing immune function.

• Some evidence links higher intake of Vitamin E with a decreased incidence of prostate cancer and breast cancer.

• The Iowa Women’s Health Study provides evidence that an increased dietary intake of Vitamin E may decrease the risk of colon cancer, especially in women under 65.

IMPORTANT

NOTE: While 400 IU or more of supplemental Vitamin E a day has been shown to reduce the risk of heart attacks in healthy people, those with pre-existing coronary artery disease often take 800 to 1600 IU a day based on the pioneering work of the Shute brothers in the mid 1940s, and other studies that have continued to  prove the benefits of high doses of Vitamin E.

DRUG INTERACTIONS: If you are taking anti-clotting medication, consult with your doctor before taking Vitamin E.
