The cuppa that stops Chronic Fatigue Syndrome ( M.E)

It seems a bit far fetched that a cuppa can improve worse case symptoms of  M.E but this is no ordinary cup of Typhoo ! According to Dr James Zhou Ph.D creator of Three Treasure Teas ‘chronic fatigue can be treated by addressing the causes rather than the symptoms'. He says ' one of the primary causes of chronic fatigue is an imbalance in the function of the liver’. So to treat the cause of chronic fatigue , this ex-Yale scientist and doctor of Chinese Medicine used active chemicals called polysaccharides, extracted from 7 different types of medicinal mushrooms. These natural chemicals encourage the liver to boost immune function to fight viruses (believed to be one of the many causes of M.E) as well as improve metabolism and detoxification.
 
The Three Treasure tea has been tested in a clinical trial in China with 100 people and demonstrated a 63% success rate in reduction and elimination of HBV surface Antigens in the blood. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that the liver-energy controls and balances the Spleen and Stomach energy. The Spleen plays a major role in the immune function. 

This cuppa must be really special for the The Action For M.E Society to take the  unprecedented step of printing a letter in it’s UK magazine on the success of one if its members, an M.E sufferer of 12 years who made a ‘miracle like’ recovery after drinking the tea. We reckon that Dr Zhou's amazing cuppa must be something special!

Iodine-rich Greens Can Improve Our I.Q


James McDonald, BSc. Dip ION & PhD Nutrition student
It’s now official, women who suffer from iodine deficiency during pregnancy may have kids born with an impaired IQ, claims a clinical study reported in The Lancet on 23 May 2013. A team of investigators from Surrey and Bristol universities used data and samples from Bristol-based Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), commonly called "Children of the 90s." The ALSPAC is a long-term health research project in which over 14,000 mothers participated during pregnancy in 1991 and 1992 - the health and development of their offspring have been tracked closely ever since.
