Chinese Ginseng Panax ginseng Asian Ginseng Chinese Ginseng Korean Ginseng
Among all the Chinese herbs, the fame of the Chinese ginseng is the greatest and it is the most valued in the herbal lore of China. Indeed, the value place on the Chinese ginseng herb goes back to the very dim beginnings of Chinese history itself, to a time when even wars were fought in ancient China for control of forest where the herb grew wild, this herb has been esteemed from about 7,000 years ago for its therapeutic benefits and has remained at the very pinnacle of herbal remedies in China from very early times. The western world’s acquaintance and knowledge of the herb’s ability to boost the stamina and provide the body with increased resistance to stress was recognized pretty late, and the herb gained recognition only in the 18th century in much of the western world, though an Arabian physician brought the ginseng back from China and introduced it to Europe as early as the 9th century.

Image via Wikipedia
from the traditional long-hair styles of the nineteenth century – to new short-hair styles like “the bob”, a process that started during the great war (WW1). The original straight, plain, and relatively simple short bobbed hair styles of the early 1920′s were transformed into much more interesting and feminine bobs (with stylish curls and waves) in the middle to late twenties. The stylish bobbed hairstyles of the late nineteen twenties continued their popularity well into the 1930′s.
Many of the popular and attractive shorter womens hairstyles from the 20′s and 30′s are currently experiencing a modern day revival as hair stylists go back in time seeking fresh ideas and inspiration from the beautiful short hairstyles of this trend setting era.
The most popular hairstyles of the nineteen twenties included the bob, marcel wave, finger wave, and shingle, all of which came with numerous variations. Other hairstyles like the Eton Crop were only temporary phenomenons. As women of all ages sacrificed their long tresses on the altar of fashion, hairdressers and even barbers competed for this booming business.

In news that is beginning to take many people by surprise, more and more research data is
Image via Wikipedia
confirming that many people suffer from serious nutritional deficiencies. We normally think of people with nutritional deficiencies as living in poor, Third World countries. But in fact, the problem is far more widespread and complicated than that. Ironically, many of the obese people living in America are suffering from one form of nutritional deficiency or another.
So a lack of good nutrition is not just the province of the poor anymore. Many wealthy people suffer from abysmal diets that put their health at great risk, because food companies care more about profit than health. Americans have one of the poorest diets in the developed world. But the good news is that diets in America are slowly changing for the better. More and more people are increasing their intake of fruits and vegetables and decreasing their intake of fried, fatty junk foods.
That is why more and more people are taking dietary health supplements everyday. Many diets are deficient in some nutrients, and we just can’t get all the nutrition that we really need from our diet alone. Vitamin and [...]

Numerous medical studies were conducted on colloidal silver throughout the early 1900′s, and the substance was used in hospitals and laboratories around the world, in a wide variety of forms, to help fight infection and disease. Studies documenting its phenomenal infection-fighting qualities were written up in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), the British medical journal Lancet, and many others.

Healthnews.com reports “American consumers spent an estimated $34 billion on alternative medicine in 2007. In fact, alternative medicine accounts for over 11 percent of out-of-pocket spending on health care in the United States. “
Alternative medicine is anything not controlled by the pharmaceutical mafia which protects hundreds of billions of dollars in profits every year by manipulating and exploiting groups such as senior citizens into becoming drug addicts courtesy of your local doctor and the mainstream medical establishment, which includes the FDA, your friendly local government strong-arm men.
Think yoga, biofeedback, diets, nutritional and fitness coaching, chiropracters, naturopathy, hypnosis, vitamin supplements, herbs, natural and organic foods, a brain that actually functions part of the time, meditation, tai chi, gardening, long walks and prayer to the holy godfather in the sky.

Whey Protein
Whey is a great source of protein and has a high biological value (BV).
Image via Wikipedia
A high BV means that the amino acid ratio in the formula is bioavailable and excellent for building muscle and that a large percentage of the protein consumed is in a form readily absorbed and utilized by the body. In addition, numerous studies from reputable scientific journals have shown that whey protein and colostrum have immune-system enhancing benefits as well.
Whey is a dairy protein that is a by-product of the cheese making process. Before it is processed, whey contains large amounts of fat and lactose (milk sugar), not exactly what you want to ingest to build lean muscle mass. That’s why it is filtered and processed: to remove most of the lactose and fat. If you’ve ever heard of microfiltration or “ion exchange,” you’ll know they are methods of separating the fat and lactose from the protein in order to purify it for fitness purposes.
The end result is a more concentrated protein for sports performance and muscle-building – either concentrate or isolate. Whey protein isolate and whey protein powder concentrate are two alternatives on the [...]
