A Real Breakthrough; New Formula,

What people say makes us excited::

Yes, I DID receive your new formula. Sorry I didn't respond sooner, but I took some time off and went away for a long weekend. I am VERY impressed with the sample you sent.

I have used it about six times now, and I have really experienced great relief...more than any other product that I have tried so far! So, I am very happy to pass that news along to you. And, I am also very happy to have found a product that works.

It seems to work almost immediately. The smell as well as the color is much more pleasant than your last formula, too. Congratulations on a very fine product!! You must be very excited to share this with people.

Sincerely,

Mary Selfridge

PHARMACOLOGICAL EFFECTS

• Cholagogic: Administration of Jin Qian Cao is associated with a marked increase in the production and excretion of bile acid in rats. It has also shown marked effectiveness in treating dogs for severe pain from jaundice and gallstones. In addition, it has a preventative influence on the formation of new gallstones in rabbits. 2

• Urinary stones: The decoction of Jin Qian Cao is effective in preventing and treating urinary stones, with better action against kidney stones than bladder stones. Furthermore, different species of this herb serve to markedly increase the excretion of bladder and kidney stones. Jiang Su Jin Qian Cao (Herba Glechoma Hederacea) has a marked diuretic action in rabbits; and Guang Jin Qian Cao (Herba Desmodii Styracifolii) and Si Chuan Xiao Jin Qian Cao (Herba Dichondra Repens) increase the excretion of urine and sodium in rats. 3

• Cardiovascular: An intravenous injection of water- extracted Guang Jin Qian Cao (Herba Desmodii Styracifolii) in anesthetized dogs increased blood perfu-sion to the heart and the kidneys by 197.4%. 4

• Antibiotic: Both water and alcohol extracts of Jiang Su Jin Qian Cao (Herba Glechoma Hederacea) inhibit the growth of Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and E. coli. Alcohol extract of Guang Jin Qian Cao (Herba Desmodii Styracifolii), but not the water extract, has an inhibitory effect against Candida albicans?

CLINICAL STUDIES AND RESEARCH

• Cholelithiasis: Four cases of cholelithiasis were success­fully treated with a preparation of Jin Qian Cao. 6

• Infection of the bile duct: Decoction of Jin Qian Cao given once daily, for 30 days per course of treatment, for a total of 2 to 3 months, was 76.9% effective in treating 52 patients with non-bacterial infection of the bile duct. Those with low-grade fevers received 30 grams of herb per day, others received 10 to 20 grams per day. 7

• Hemorrhoids: A decoction of Jin Qian Cao was used to effectively treat 30 patients with hemorrhoids. Most patients responded within 1 to 3 doses. The dosage used was 100 grams for the fresh herb, and 50 grams for the dried herb. 8

 

HERB-DRUG INTERACTION

• Diuretics: Jin Qian Cao has a diuretic effect. Though there are no documented instances of this potential interaction, concurrent use with diuretic drugs may lead to increased elimination of water and/or electrolytes. [Note: Examples of diuretics include chlorothiazide, hydrochlorothiazide, furosemide (Lasix), bumetanide (Bumex), and torsemide (Demadex).] 9

 

TOXICOLOGY

No abnormalities were observed in dogs or mice following oral administration of decoction of Jin Qian Cao at 200 times the normal adult dose. No fatalities were reported following oral administration of Jiang Su Jin Qian Cao (Herba Glechoma Hederacea) at 20 g/kg/day for 6 days in rats. An oral bolus dose of Jiang Su Jin Qian Cao at 100 grams increased respiratory rates, but did not change blood pressure levels in dogs. 10

 

SUPPLEMENT

Various species of this herb have been used as the medicinal herb in China. The following list includes the three most commonly used forms and their special applications:

• Chuan Da Jin Qian Cao (Herba Lysimachia Christinae) clears heat and eliminates toxins, and is best for gallstones.

• Lian Qian Cao (Herba Glechomae) clears heat and eliminates toxins, and is best for kidney stones.
