All About Astragalus, The Cancer Fighter

Image

(NaturalNews) Astragalus is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb that has been around for over 4,000 years. Astragalus is an adaptogenic, nontoxic herb and plant extract that helps the body resist the damaging effects of stress while restoring normal physiological function. Astragalus aids adrenal function, digestion, metabolism, combats fatigue and increases stamina. Astragalus is very effective in helping people with AIDS and has even proven to have an anti-tumor effect and can increase the efficacy of chemotherapy.

A native plant of China, astragalus is officially known as astragalus membranaceus: AKA Milk Vetch Root and Huang Qi. Astragalus is a perennial plant that grows up to 4 feet tall. The root of the plant has a sweet taste and contains choline, flavonoids, amino acids-gamma aminobutyric acid, canavanine, beta-sitosterol, saponins (astragalosides) and oil. The primary actions of astragalus are adaptogenic and immunomodulating. The secondary actions are anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, cardiotonic, diuretic and hepatoprotective.

Medicinal Use

Astragalus is an herb that has actions in nearly all of the body systems. It is used to treat chronic colds, Epstein Barr Virus, HIV and candida by preventing infection recurrence. Astragalus stimulates bone marrow blood cells while enhancing deep immune strength. Studies show that the polysaccharides in astragalus increase phagocytosis (the engulfing of microorganism invaders by the immune system), increase production of immunoglobulins and macrophages and modulate the pituitary-adrenal cortical activity. Astragalus protects the kidneys and lungs from damage from autoantibody complexes, regulates sweating, decreases fatigue and increases tolerance to stress.

Astragalus protects against oxidative damage by increasing mitochondrial function without increasing the mitochondrial oxygen consumption. In the liver, astragalus is a mild choleretic and also increases repairs in chronic viral hepatitis while reducing inflammation and othersymptoms. Astragalus also lengthens telomeres for longevity(TA 65 is a very pricey extract made from Astragalus that is touted to reduce all the effects of aging and mimics pretty much all the benefits of the inexpensive herb form of astragalus). Astragalus even increases motility of human sperm.

Astragalus is considered to be a cardiac tonic.In the cardiovascular system, the saponins in astragalus inhibit lipid peroxidation in the myocardium and one study using patients with angina revealed that cardiac output increased after two weeks of treatment. Astragalus strengthens left ventricular function and reduces free radical damage in patients after a heart attack and increases super oxide dismutase activity in cardiac muscle.

Astragalus: the unsung cancer fighter

Studies at the University of Houston have shown that astragalus can improve immune function in cancer patients by increasing T-cell counts. Astragalus increases the ability of NK cells and T-cells to kill cancer cells while switching on the anti-tumor activity of Interleukin-2. Inchemotherapy treatmentsastragalus provides anti-neoplastic activity anddecreasesimmunosupression. Astragalus reduces the consequences with both chemo and radiation of fatigue,weight loss, anemia, nausea and loss of strength while increasing WBC production for leucopenia (a common side effect of immunosuppressive therapy), thereby decreasing life-threatening infections.

Even though this incredible herb is listed on the Botanical Herbs Board Exams and in theCompendium of Pharmacological Actions of Medicinal Plants and Their Constituents, naming the benefits of astragalus can bring a warning letter from both the FDA and FTC, as Dr. Andrew Weil found out when he listed the benefits of taking astragalus to prevent the swine flu. So don’t expect to see any of this information on a vitamin or herb label. Despite what modern medicine and the FDA says, healing did occur long before pharmaceuticals were invented. True health comes by good foods, minerals, herbs, fasting and cleansing. Astragalus is a good guy for natural health!

Did Bill Ayers Poison Andrew Breitbart? Do we have Probable Cause for Murder?

Did the President use the #NDAA to murder Breitbart? Is there a purge coming in America between the left and right?


Update to this story: Breitbart recently had ‘dinner’ with Bill Ayers and two weeks ago Breitbart announced he had video tapes that will embarrass Obama… Obama and Ayers have a relationship and Ayers has a history of trying to kill people.

“Breitbart had dinner with Ayers and Dorhn three weeks ago at the couple’s Hyde Park residence on Chicago’s South Side, which is near Obama’s home. Breitbart was invited by Daily Caller Editor-in-Chief Tucker Carlson, who won an Internet auction for a dinner party with the couple.”  Michael Savage

I have not seen anyone in the main stream News ask the question?  Could Andrew Breitbart have been killed or murdered for something he knew or was about to release Video information,  Someone did not want him to get out to the public to see!  We will know more info after the official  autopsy is done till then this is all just speculation!  

The question is who would want Andrew dead who stands to gain from his death!  As a political activist the list of names would be a long one!  I would start the top of the list with the Illuminati NWO gang!  I’m sure you can guess who I’m talking about without saying his name!  Because if I do I will get my door kicked in tonight and also die of so called Natural causes like a boot to the head!

For his effort in being a Patriot maybe not the best Anti NWO Guy but an American who stepped out in faith to fight for what he believed in we will put Andrew on the Anti New World Order Party Wall of Fame!

Andrew Breitbart, the US conservative author and activist known for publishing embarrassing sting videos of left-wing groups, has died, aged 43.

He helped launch the Huffington Post and was an editor on the Drudge Report website before running his own sites, including Big Journalism.

His website’s editor-in-chief confirmed his death of “natural causes”.

Breitbart reportedly collapsed when walking near his house, according to the Associated Press.

Update to this story it turns out that Breitbart recently had ‘dinner’ with Bill Ayers and two weeks ago Breitbart announced he had video tapes that will embarrass Obama… Obama and Ayers have a relationship and Ayers has a history of trying to kill people. Do the math.
