Muira Puama is most definitely safe for women to take and is not just for men! Muira Puama has been used by the Brazilian local tribes for centuries for treating impotence, reinforce virility, reduce stress, stimulate the nervous system and others. Its action is amplified when combined with other herbs known as being aphrodisiac, adaptogenic or nervous tonics.
Another product that may be of interest to you is a blend of herbs manufactured by TerraVita. The name of the product is Female Libido Support and it is specifically designed to help women with their libido, stamina and other concerns. One of the ingredients is Muira Puama, as well as Ginkgo Biloba, Guarana, Sarsaparilla, Siberian Ginseng and Maca. All of these ingredients combined work together harminiously to help you achieve your desired results.

The three types of clays vary in colour, but are similar in terms of health benefits and chemical composition. Healing clays may be used externally in masks or mud packs for bone breaks, burns, cuts, and skin wounds. They may be taken internally for stomach or gastrointestinal tract concerns, food poisoning, or heavy metal poisoning. They all have absorptive properties and have the ability to draw out toxins and impurities when used inside or outside the body. However, each clay reacts differently with each individual, and it is difficult to say which clay would work best for any given person's health needs. We can summarize some of the general properties of each type of clay we offer, however.
White Clay
White clay, or kaolin clay, is considered the mildest of the colored clays. Due to its inability to draw out oils from the skin, when used topically, it is deemed suitable for those with sensitive or dry skin. For internal use, white clay would be best for those with very sensitive systems requiring a mild detoxifying action. Anyone prone to constipation or dehydration should begin a detoxification regime with a mild white clay. As with any clay for internal use, large quantities of quality water must be consumed regularly throughout each day of use. Some people find that occasional use of a natural herbal laxative (like cascara sagrada) or supplemental fiber (like psyllium) is helpful for maintaining proper eliminations.
I will post the exact mineral breakdown for the white clay as soon as the information is made available to me.
Green Clay
Our Green Clay is a French Green Clay (not necessarily sourced from France) also called Illite. Green Clay seems to be the most sought after due to its natural green colour indicating the presence of therapeutic decomposed seaweeds and other algaes. Green Illite Clay is widely considered the most flexible, the most adaptable, and is the most popular of all the clays. It is a non-swelling clay falling between white (the mildest) and grey clay (the strongest) in terms of absorptive properties; nevertheless, it is the most versatile of the three clays. Here is the mineral breakdown of our Green Clay:
Silica - 47 - 52%
Aluminum - 13 -15%
Calcium - 7 - 9%
Iron - 4 - 6%
Potassium - 3 - 5%
Magnesium - 2 - 3%
Sodium - 0.1 - 0.3%
Magnesium - 0.1 - 0.3%
Phosphoris - 0.1 - 0.2%
Copper - 20 +/- 10 ppm
Cobalt - 15 +/- 10 ppm
Lithium - 3 +/- 1 ppm
Molybdene - < 1 ppm
Gray Clay
Gray clay, or bentonite, is not as versatile as green clay nor as mild as white clay. Gray clay, a silica-rich volcanic ash byproduct, is, nevertheless, the most powerful internal clanser and detoxifier of the three clays. It has the ability to draw toxins into its porous sponge-like caverns as it swells up when taken internally. This makes it especially useful for absorbing intestinal parasites and harmful bacteria, facilitating the healing of stomach ulcers, or simply for regular maintenance of the gastrointestinal tract. Here is the mineral breakdown of our Gray Clay:
Silica - 55.7%
Aluminum - 28.9%
Titanium - 1.2%
Iron - 1.1 %
Calcium - 0.2%
Magnesium - 0.4%
Potassium - 1%
Sodium - 0.3%

There are no documented specific drug interactions for graviola extract. However, because of its hypotensive, vasodilator, and cardiodepressant activities demonstrated in animal studies, graviola is contraindicated for people with low blood pressure. Large single doses have elicited effects that include nausea, vomiting, and uterine stimulation in animals. Graviola may enhance the antihypertensive and cardiac depressant effects of certain drugs. It may also have an influence on some antidepressant drugs and interfere with MAO-inhibitor drugs.
Reishi may interfere with certain anti-coagulant or anti-platelet medications like heparin and warfarin, so these should be avoided. Reishi, like graviola, may also cause additional hypotensive effects if combined with certain antihypertensives.
As far as interactions with one another, there doesn't seem to be any documented evidence why graviola and reishi cannot be taken together. It would be advisable to consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before attempting to put into place an alternative healthcare program; any potential side effects or adverse reactions from medications can be foreseen and avoided.
Red clover is another herb that has frequently been used for cancer treatments; studies have shown how compounds in red clover may not only shrink enlarge prostates, but can kill prostate cancer cells in the early stages. Laboratory studies have shown that curcumin, the substance found in the spice turmeric, interferes with melanoma cells and may be valuable in the fight against skin cancer. Essiac and Ojibwa 4-herb and 8-herb tea have been used with great success by many people, although there doesn't seem to be any documented scientific evidence to support their claims as a 'cancer remedy.'

Please allow me to provide you with the specifications taken directly from the Certificate of Analysis for Graviola 4:1 Extract. These certificates consist of thorough specifications and microbiological results acquired by an independent laboratory. They accompany every TerraVita product we receive from the manufacturer to satisfy us that we can deliver a product that meets our standards of purity, potency, freshness, and safety.
This Graviola powder, ground from the leaves of Annona muricata, is sourced from Ecuador and undergoes a meticulous analysis before it is ever put into capsules and bottled:
* The powder is tested for heavy metals with a tolerance of less than 10ppm (parts per million);
* it is examined to insure that the active compounds (annonaceous acetogenins, annocatalin, annohexocin, annomonicin, annomontacin, and annomuricatin A and B) are in the exact 4:1 extract ratio;
* the moisture content must fall between 3% and 5% (it is most often just over 3%);
* test results for E. coli, salmonella, psedomonas aeruginosa, and staphylococcus aureus must all be negative;
* total plate count must be & lt; 10,000 cfu/g or < 10,000 colony forming units per gram (it is most often < 10 cfu/g);
* yeast and mold results must be < 200 cfu/g (it is most often < 10 cfu/g).
TerraVita gelatin capules are derived from bovine and pork, the most commonly used source for all gelatin capsules on the market used by all manufacturers of prescription and non-prescription encapsulated products. Therefore, anyone with these specific allergies, or those looking for vegetarian supplements should avoid gelatin capsules and only use products encapsulated in the more expensive and less common 'VegiCaps'.

Does Orthosiphon Powder aid in weight loss??

Java Tea is used for kidney and bladder stones, liver and gallbladder problems and urinary tract infections. It is also used to reduce cholesterol and blood pressure.
Java Tea is also taken for rheumatism and gout, although its effectiveness for these problems has not been verified.
While Java Tea (Orthosiphon) does have traditional uses as a diuretic, I have been unable to find any studies showing that it aids in weight loss.

I just received a 'break through' in weight loss from Superior Labs and Clinics on Orthosiphon. It's claims are rapid, massive weight loss. Do you know anything about this particular plant to that effect?
ZooScape Moderator - June 19, 2006, 15:44
#10001472
Orthosiphon, or java tea, has diuretic properties and so the only weight loss effect, as far as I can see, would be due to the temporary loss of water. Whether or not the amount of diuresis is significant enough for any real weight loss, I can't say. Orthosiphon does have confirmed diuretic properties, as evidenced by the results from animal studies, and it may be better used in conjunction with other herbs with a more established foundation for promoting weight loss.
Garcinaa cambogia, a natural source of hydroxycitric acid (HCA), has been the study of many animal studies and a few human clinical trials. While weight loss benefits have not been absolutely confirmed in all studies, results are very promising. HCA does seem to inhibit fat synthesis, and results suggest that it can be a healthy and effective adjunct to a weight control program.
Fat Burning Complex combines both Garcinia cambogia and Orthosiphon stamineus. The diuretic properties of the java tea in conjunction with the actions of lipid synthesis inhibition associated with HCA would combine to make an effective weight loss supplement.

The Java tea that I purchased causes constipation and was wondering if that was a side effect of the capsules.
ZooScape Moderator - May 2, 2006, 12:13
#10001328
The only thing I can think of is that java tea is used for flushing the kidneys and for natural 'irrigation' of the urinary tract. Perhaps, the water loss in his body was enough to cause a little bit of a dehydrating effect, and if he didn't replensih the fluids in his body, he would be prone to constipation. All references I've seen suggest that java tea consumtion is safe and side effect-free. My suggestion would be to drink lots of water with the capsules or try java in actual tea form. You should be drinking lots of quality water anyway if you're consuming supplements of a purgative nature.
Is this good for low blood or anemia? I saw on a herbal show today that it helps people who are anemic.
ZooScape Moderator - April 24, 2006, 14:19
#10001274
Yes. Stinging nettle is rich in iron and, therefore, useful in cases of iron-deficiency anemia. In the 1800s, Ruissians concocted a juice made of nettle herbs to aid chronically ill and anemic people; the high mineral content (including iron) makes nettle useful for other ailments related to mineral deficiency.
It is always important to know the causes of your anemia (dietary, blood loss, etc.) and then make attempts to correct the condition - and only after being thoroughly evaluated and tested by a healthcare practitioner. It might seem like a simple fix, but more iron is not necessarily the smartest way to tackle anemia. There may be a very serious life-threatening condition at the core of it. Blood iron and ferritin levels must be carefully monitored, and a colonoscopy or upper GI scope may also be required.
After an accurate diagnosis has been made, you can supplement your diet with iron-rich, blood-building foods/supplements and avoid any foods damaging or irritating to you.

what is the iodine content and the RDA?
ZooScape Moderator - May 15, 2006, 15:50
#10001377
The total iodine varies between 0.1 to 0.8%, based on dry weight and the recommended daily intake for iodine is 150 mcg per day for people over the age of 4. Regular intake is essential as Iodine is not stored in the body.
The iodine content in kelp may cause hyper or hypothyroidism, if taken in excessive amounts, and may interfere with existing treatment for abnormal thyroid function. In view of this, ingestion of kelp preparations by children is inadvisable. The iodine content in kelp has been associated with acne eruptions and may aggravate pre-existing acne.
Black Walnut
The bittersweet and nutritious oil of the black walnut has a long history
of medicinal and food uses. Once used as treatment for diphtheria and
syphilis, black walnut is now used mostly for the astringent properties of
its hulls and bark. It has been used world-wide for several centuries for
its anti-parasitic, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal actions and remains in
use today. Studies of black walnut are scarce. However, the existing data
coupled with overwhelming cross-cultural use of black walnut in treating
similar health conditions for centuries cannot be ignored. Further studies
are certainly warranted and deserving for the use of black walnut in
Western medicine.
Quassia
Found in the Amazon rainforests of South America, this shrubby tree
produces smooth, gray bark, compound leaves, small yellow flowers, and
pea-sized black fruits. The bark of the quassia tree was first introduced
into Europe from Surinam in 1756 and named after "Quassia", a native
healer, who told Europeans of its therapeutic value. Quassia bark is used
in various countries for more or less the same thing, that is, to
stimulate the appetite and promote digestion. The bitter active
ingredients within the bark are responsible for its tonic effect on the
digestive system, increasing the production of salivary juices, stomach
acids, and bile.

Kelp
Kelp is the most common seaweed in the ocean and is an excellent source of
minerals from the sea. One of its primary mineral constituents, iodine,
is very important for the thyroid gland to function properly, regulating
metabolism and weight. Past cultural studies relating to the result of
diet including kelp have determined a link to a lower breast cancer rate;
less obesity, heart disease, rheumatism, arthritis; lower blood pressure;
less thyroid disease; less constipation and gastro-intestinal ailments and
less infectious disease. Kelp provides nutritional support to the nervous
system and heart in the form of iodine, vitamins, minerals and cell salts.
Iodine in Kelp also helps to maintain a healthy thyroid, thereby
significantly reducing one major possible cause of obesity. In addition,
seaweed increases the body's ability to burn off fat through exercise.
Thus, stamina is boosted, allowing cells to consume energy more
efficiently. Kelp has also been shown to support the lowering of blood
cholesterol levels.

Java Tea
Java Tea (Orthosiphon spicatus/Orthosiphon aristatus) is found throughout
Southeast Asia and tropical Australia. The fragmented dried leaves and
stem tips are used medicinally. Java Tea leaves have a dry, salty and
bitter taste. The plant can grow up to three feet and has blue to light
violet flowers. Java tea has been used for kidney and bladder stones,
liver and gallbladder problems, urinary tract infections, and rheumatism.
While it's not exactly clear how java tea works, it has been customarily
thought that some or all of the active compounds within java tea help to
open the ureters - the tubes leading from the kidneys to the bladder -
allowing small stones to be passed. It is for this reason that java tea is
recommended for improved urinary flow and irrigation of the urinary tract.
In vitro and animal studies demonstrate the diuretic,
antihypertensive, and hypoglycemic effects of java tea. However,
comprehensive and conclusive clinical trials are required, and certainly
warranted, for this herb to be confidently prescribed.

Graviola (Soursop)
The graviola tree is found in tropical regions of North and South America.
In countries like Brazil, graviola fruit is commonly sold in local
markets. All parts of the tree have been used medicinally with each being
associated with different health properties. Compounds within graviola,
and related species, called annonaceous acetogenins have been shown to
target `MDR' cancer cells or multi-drug resistant cancer cells in
laboratory in vitro and animal studies. Other studies have revealed
that graviola has effective anti-parasitic and hypotensive properties
suggesting it may have benefits for internal parasites, bacteria, worms,
and for lowering blood pressure. While further clinical trials are
required to confirm the efficacy of graviola on humans, the research to
date looks very promising for this rainforest plant.
