Patent Application
20190070239
The present invention relates to the field of herbal supplements to improve overall health. More particularly, the present invention discloses an herbal formula that adjusts the pH balance of the human body's fluids to lower acidity in minimal time.
The overall health benefits of maintaining slightly alkaline body fluids are well known. Changing the pH level to one that is slightly alkaline helps the body safeguard itself against illness and numerous life threatening diseases. Unfortunately, popular foods and beverages that are widely consumed adversely affect the body's pH level. Coffee, soda, alcohol, dairy products, red meat, juices, sugar, and fried foods are highly acidic as are many ingredients used in restaurants or prepared/boxed foods such as preservatives, additives, and coloring agents.
Natural and whole foods such as raw vegetables, salads, fresh fruit, and whole grains can counteract excessive acidity levels attributed to poor dietary choices. In the past, in order to raise the alkalinity of body fluids, health professionals recommended an alkaline diet which includes anise seeds, barley grass, burdock roots, caraway seeds, dill seeds, fennel seed, mustard seeds, wheat grass, bilberry, sea products like kelp, and dulse, as well as herbal complexes which includes rose hip, turmeric root, horseradish, dandelion ginger, parsley, garlic, and white willow etc. Few people, however, eat sufficient quantities of such foods or can reasonably implement and maintain such a diet long enough to raise the alkalinity of their body fluids in the necessary amount of time it takes, which can be months or years.
These and other advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description.
According to the present invention, a herbal formulation which raises the alkalinity of the human body in a short period of time is disclosed. The major ingredient in the formulation is Camptotheca. Although the formulation may consist entirely of Camptotheca, it preferably includes poria cocos, astragalus membranacaus, ostrea vivularis gould, prunella vulgaris, bombyx mori and phellodendron amurense Rupr.
While the herbal formulation used to increase the alkalinity of the human body in accordance with the present invention may be a mixture containing Camptotheca and all or some of the above ingredients, it is most preferred that the herbal formulation include the three ingredients of Camptotheca, poria cocos and astragalus membranacaus.
According to the present invention, an edible herbal formulation which raises the alkalinity of the human body in a short period of time is disclosed. The major ingredient in the formulation is Camptotheca which may be present in the formulation in the amount in the range from 1% to 100% by weight. The genus Camptotheca is included in the dogwood family Cornaceae where it has two species, namely, Camptotheca acuminate decne and Camptotheca Lowreyana. The Camptotheca ingredients in the formulation may include seeds, leaves, bark, stems and roots. It should be noted that chemical ingredients from Camptotheca containing alkaloid camptothecin and several chemical derivatives of camptothecin are presently being studied for use as drugs for cancer treatment, including irinotecan, topotecan, and rubitecan. Camptotheca also contains the chemical compounds trifolin and hyperoside.
While the formulation may consist entirely of Camptotheca to effect the desired increase in the alkalinity, it is preferred that the formulation include other beneficial ingredients in quantities which may range from 1% to 20% by weight. Those ingredients are poria cocos, astragalus membranacaus, ostrea vivularis gould, prunella vulgaris, bombyx mori and phellodendron amurense Rupr.
Poria cocos contains β-pachyman, pachymic acid, tuonulosic acid, 3 β. hydroxylanasta, etc. It has diuretic, antibacterial and antacid effects.
Astragalus membranacaus contains choline, betaine, quercetin, sitostero, etc. Its beneficial effects are as pH raiser, antacid, vascular dilation, and pulse reducer
Ostrea vivularis gould contains 80%-95% calcium carbonate and acts as an antacid and an antiperspiration agent.
Prunella vulgaris contains oleanolic acid, ursolic acid, rutin, hyper side. Its beneficial effects are as antihypertension agent, antibacterial, and vascular dilation.
Bombyx mori contains phytol, β-sitostorol, cholesterol, ergesterol, tetracosanol, and lupeol and they remove wind and dampness (toxical invisible gas matter) and are anti-itching.
Phellodendron amurense Rupr contains barberine, jatrorrhizine, magnoflorine, phellodendrone, obacurone, obacunoni acid, etc. Its beneficial effects are to act as an antibacterial and to lower blood pressure. Phellodendron, however, has a bitter taste that is a disadvantage when used for diets.
While the herbal formulation used to increase the alkalinity of the human body in accordance with the present invention may be a mixture containing Camptotheca and all or some of the above listed ingredients, it is most preferred that the herbal formulation include the three ingredients of Camptotheca in the range of 10% to 90% by weight, poria cocos in the range of 5% to 20% by weight and astragalus membranacaus in the range of 5% to 20% by weight. In that combination poria cocos adds to the beneficial effects of Camptotheca in increasing the alkalinity of the human body and astragalus membranacaus substantially reduces, if not eliminates, the side effects of Camptotheca.
The following examples further illustrate the invention but are not to be construed as limitations on the scope of the invention contemplated herein.
One hundred percent (100%) Camptotheca powder was prepared by taking leaves, seeds and branches from Camptotheca grown in the inventors own herb garden, drying them in 250° F. for four hours and grinding them to powder.
Dry Camptotheca powder from sample A was mixed with prunella vulgaris (Chinese Herbal tea extract, Ming-Tong 1164 which is available commercially). The amount of Camptotheca powder was 80% by weight and the balance 20% by weight was prunella vulgaris.
Dry Camptotheca powder from sample A was mixed with astragalus membranaceus (concentrated extract from Ming-Tong 1074) and poria cocos in dry powder form of natural poria cocos. The amount of Camptotheca powder was 75% by weight, the amount of astragalus membranaceus was 15% by weight and the balance 10% by weight was poria cocos.
A 66 year-old Asian woman who was in good general health took a Quantum Resonance Magnetic Analyzer test. The test showed a pH score of 3.194 which is within the normal score range of 3.156 to 3.694. Out of 206 total test items, 25 items were out of normal scope. Then, she took herbal formulation from Sample A daily at a rate of 1 gram per day for a month. After taking herbal formulation from Sample A for a month, she was retested. The basic physical quality (pH) showed an elevated pH score of 3.267 and the out-of-norm items were reduced from 25 to 20.
A 75 year old Asian woman who has been suffering for the last 20 years with diabetes had low back pain due to a ruptured disc. She took a Quantum Resonance Magnetic Analyzer test which showed a pH score of 3.053 and a health scope having 32 items off scale. She was put on a regimen of 1000 mg of herbal formulation from Sample B taken twice per day for twelve days while undergoing daily acupuncture treatment for low back pain. Twelve days later, she was retested. The basic physical quality (pH) showed an elevated pH score of 3.199 which is within the normal range and the out-of-norm items were reduced from 32 to 23. The test showed a much improved health overall. Further, the low back pain was completely gone.
A 63 year old Asian man complained of cervical hyperplasia. He took a Quantum Resonance Magnetic Analyzer test which showed a pH score of 2.962 and a health scope having 33 items off scale. He rejected the recommendation of taking herbal formulation of Sample B; instead, he wanted to pursue his own way to improve the alkalinity of his body by eating alkaline forming diet foods such as oranges, lemons, vegetables, etc. Three months later he took another Quantum Resonance Magnetic Analyzer test that showed a pH score of 2.946 which was lower than the pH score of the first test. It also showed a scope having 37 items off the normal range. He was then put on a regimen of 3000 mg of herbal formulation per day for experimental use. One month later he took a third Quantum Resonance Magnetic Analyzer test which showed a pH score of 3.125 which was still lower than 3.156. It also showed an improved health scope having 28 items off scale. Another month later, he took a fourth Quantum Resonance Magnetic Analyzer test which showed a pH score of 3.229 which is between 3.156 and 3.694. The out of scale items dropped down to 21, an indication of great improvement in overall health scope.
A 64 year old male patient with a family history of Alzheimer's and colon cancer and a personal history of sports injuries, sciatica, arthritis, CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy) with Parkinson syndrome was treated with the herbal formulation of the present invention over a period of several months. On Mar. 18, 2016, he took a Quantum Resonance Magnetic Analyzer test which showed a pH score of 3.101 which is outside the normal range and a health scope having 33 items outside the normal range.
Starting on Mar. 18, 2016 and continuing thereafter on a daily basis, the patient took 1 gram of herbal formulation comprising camptotheca (75% by weight), astragalus membranaceus (15% by weight) and poria cocos (10% by weight twice a day. Thereafter, the patient took the Quantum Resonance Magnetic Analyzer test on May 6, 2016, Jul. 8, 2016, Sep. 8, 2016, and Nov. 7, 2016. During the testing period of Mar. 18, 2016 to Nov. 7, 2016, results indicate improvement of patient's pH index to Normal range from 3.101 on Mar. 8, 2016, to 3.188 on May 6, 2016, to 3.459 on Jul. 8, 2016, to 3.423 on Sep. 8, 2016, and then to 3.209 on Nov. 7, 2016. Further, the total number of out of Normal health systems decrease from 33 on Mar. 8, 2016, to 23 on May 6, 2016, to 18 on Jul. 8, 2016 and then to 10 on Nov. 7, 2016. Twenty three health systems showed improvement to Normal range during the subject testing period testing period. That is an indication that by improving the acidity level of body fluids to Normal range, additional health systems will show improvement as well. The results of each test and the improvement in the health systems is shown in detail in Table 1.
Referring to Table 1, during the testing period, the following improvements took place in the health systems of the patient.
As shown on Table 1, the first test of Mar. 18, 2016 indicates that 33 health systems were out of Normal range. Only about eight months later, the results of the fifth test on Nov. 7, 2016, On Test 5, indicate only ten items were out of Normal range. It should be noted that during this period, the patient did not take any additional or prescribed medications (from conventional physicians). This indicates that by improving the acidity level of body fluids to Normal range, additional health systems will show improvement as well.
A 67 year old male patient with a left disintegrated hip bone had a scheduled surgery. Because he suffered from bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP), LIPS, asthma, and cough he needed clearance for the surgery from his primary care physician, a pulmonologist, a cardiologist and one other doctor. He was taking 22 prescribed medications including Prednisone and Hydrocodone.
On Oct. 14, 2016, he took a Quantum Resonance Magnetic Analyzer test which showed a pH score of 3.15 (an indication of acidity and outside the normal range) and a health scope having 42 additional health systems to be outside of normal range. Although his pH index was just below the normal range, starting on Oct. 14, 2016 and continuing thereafter on a daily basis, the patient took 1 gram of herbal formulation comprising camptotheca (75% by weight), astragalus membranaceus (15% by weight) and poria cocos (10% by weight) twice a day.
Further, the subject began undergoing acupuncture treatment and after the second week of the acupuncture treatment, he stopped taking all the medication prescribed by his doctors. He only took the herbal formulation of the present invention.
Thereafter, the patient took the Quantum Resonance Magnetic Analyzer test on Dec. 13, 2016 and the patient's pH index reached normal. The rest of test results show great improvement. The total number of out of normal health systems decreased from 43 to 31. His pulmonary system improved dramatically. The asthma, BOOP, LIPS, and cough completely healed. The cardiovascular system improved greatly. This indicates that when pH index improves, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems can be reversed to healthy conditions. The results of each test and the improvement in the health systems is shown in detail in Table 2.

Referring to Table 2, during the testing period, the following improvements took place in the health systems of the patient.
As shown on Table 2, the first test of Oct. 14, 2016 indicates that 43 health systems were out of normal range. On the second test of Dec. 13, 2016, only two months later, the patient test results indicated 31 items are out of normal range. It should be noted that during this period, the patient eliminated his prescribed medications except two Motrin and one aspirin a day, as needed. This indicates that by improving the acidity level of body fluids to normal range, additional health systems will show improvement as well.
A 57 year old male patient with a personal history of frequent headaches, recurring yeast infection, chronic fatigue, acid reflux was treated with the herbal formulation of the present invention over a period of several months. A few months before he was subjected to the treatment, he had a cold and took three courses of antibiotic as treatment.
On Feb. 19, 2016, he took a Quantum Resonance Magnetic Analyzer test which showed a pH score of 2.821 which is quite outside the normal range and a health scope having 38 items outside the normal range.
Starting on Feb. 19, 2016 and continuing thereafter on a daily basis, the patient took 1 gram of herbal formulation comprising camptotheca (75% by weight), astragalus membranaceus (15% by weight) and poria cocos (10% by weight twice a day. Thereafter, the patient took the Quantum Resonance Magnetic Analyzer test on May 4, 2016, Aug. 8, 2016, and Dec. 9, 2016. Referring to Table 3 which is a tabulation of the test results of those dates, during the testing period, results indicate improvement of patient's pH index and took him ten months to reach a pH index of 3.196 which is within the normal range, as shown in the results of the test of Dec. 9, 2016.
Still referring to Table 3, during the testing period, the following improvements took place in the health systems of the patient.
As shown on Table 3, the first test of Feb. 19, 2016, indicated that 38 health items were out of normal range. Ten months later, on Dec. 9, 2016, the patient's test result indicated that only 16 health items were outside the normal range. It should be noted that during that period, the patient did not take any prescribed medications from conventional doctors. This indicates that by improving the acidity level of body fluids to normal range, additional health systems will show improvement as well.
