They hand select the finest wild picked or organically grown herbs whenever possible, paying close attention to species, region of cultivation, time of harvest, and the spirit in which plants are grown and collected. They use only the most potent part of the plant. They do not use herbs that are endangered, sprayed or fumigated. Laboratory Testing Trained herbalists evaluate the herbs for quality on the basis of smell, taste and appearance, as has been done for thousands of years. The amount of active components, strength, and efficacy are then verified by analysis. To screen for pesticides, heavy metals, sulfites, and bacterial contamination, samples are sent to independent labs, which use the latest technology. Capillary electrophoresis, high-pressure liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, and thin-layer chromatography provide detailed compositional analysis at the molecular level. Processing and Potency Once the herbs have passed inspection, they are processed according to tradition to maximize potency and eliminate undesired effects. Raw herbs may be steamed, baked, alcohol-soaked or ginger-processed. The selection of each herb is double-checked and quantities are weighed twice so that formulas are uniform from batch to batch. Herbs are granulated and cooked as a decoction to improve bio availability. Combining Components They devote meticulous attention to each individual component of a formula and then, of course, to how components work together. Roots are cooked over low temperature overnight. Flowers are prepared by infusion. Alkaloid-containing herbs are soaked in alcohol, and aromatic extracts are added last to preserve their volatile components. A small amount of acacia gum and cellulose are used to bind the ingredients together, while magnesium aids the tableting process.

Now, more than ever, boosting immunity has become a vital part of everyday healthcare. These key supplements work together to devitalize foreign pathogens, boost the immune system, and create natural antibacterial, anti-viral, antifungal, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antioxidant, anti-allergenic, antihistamine, mucolytic, hydrating, detoxifying, energy producing actions.  Accelerated C60™ ESS60, the compound in Accelerated C60™, has proven to be highly effective at addressing one of the most pernicious viruses that humanity has ever encountered: HIV. For a long time, there was no known cure for HIV. Now that Accelerated C60™ is observed to have virucidal (virus-killing) properties, it has gone beyond the stage of research studies and has been patented as a treatment for HIV. Not only does ESS60, or Accelerated C60™, reduce the infections caused by HIV, but it also directly inhibits the reproduction of the virus. Viruses normally cause disease in the human body by taking over the cells of the body and replicating until it overwhelms the immune system. Typically a young and healthy person has an immune system that can overcome most common viruses such as the common cold and influenza. This is why the patent of Carbon 60 or ESS60 to treat HIV is such an amazing advancement. Unlike many pharmaceutical drugs, ESS60 does not have any harmful side effects. It works to directly prevent the virus from replicating and has the potential to effectively treat many people with HIV already without the side effects associated with current HIV medications. While it is a step of inference to say that ESS60 could be used to treat other illnesses, we do know that the regular use of Accelerated C60™ can improve your immune system, and is 172 times more powerful than Vitamin C. Additionally, it is a known antibiotic, and may also improve sleep which is essential for a strong immune system. Acceleradine® Iodine Acceleradine® Iodine is the wildcard in supporting the immune system. It is antibacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antioxidant, anti-allergenic, anti-histamine, mucolytic, hydrating (2006, Miller), detoxifying, energy producing and performs a unique function known as healthy apoptosis. Healthy apoptosis, which is the natural death of traumatized and unhealthy cells, is the premise of rapid wound healing as well as disease reversal as shown in the 2003 UCLA study with lung cancer. (2003, Zhang). There is no pathogen resistant to iodine (Derry). Iodine was used to protect people from the 1918 influenza pandemic that killed over 30 million people. Iodine is a more powerful antioxidant than Vitamin C, Vitamin E and phosphatidylcholine (David Brownstein). Iodine is also a more powerful antioxidant than any oxygen therapies such as ozone (2006, Miller). All of these immune boosting benefits are in addition to Iodine’s key role for the metabolism and thyroid, the key endocrine gland for the immune system.  The thyroid produces T4 (4 stands for 4 iodine atoms), and, without iodine, the thyroid is unable to produce T4 that is necessary for the immune system. Accelerated Colloidal Silver® Not only does Accelerated Colloidal Silver® have an alkaline pH of 8.0, creating an environment that foreign pathogens may not be able to survive in, but it is programmed with Bio Informational Scalar technology to further help strengthen the Immune System and devitalize foreign pathogens. Furthermore, we use micro-clustered water technology to lower the surface tension for better absorption. No other silver company does this. The 4-piece kit offers a choice of one of the following Electrolyte Replenishment Supplements: Accelerated Ancient Salt® 4oz Refillable Shaker: Accelerated Ancient Salt® is a one-of-a-kind healthy salt, scalar charged with ancient sea salts for enhanced detox and optimal rehydration.

Use Accelerated C60™ ESS60: The typical recommended dose is 1 teaspoon per day (approximately 5 ml). Use this online calculator to get a more precise dose. You can take Accelerated C60™ at any time of day, with or without food. It all depends on your preferences. Our customers report the best results when taken in the morning. Our recommendation is to take Accelerated C60™ as part of your breakfast routine. Acceleradine® Iodine: Patch test.Apply to inside upper arm: if it disappears within 24 hours, this indicates that you are iodine deficient; if it doesn’t, it is a possible sign of sluggish lymph with severe iodine deficiency and dehydration. Start slowly.Start with 3 drops in water 3 times a day on an empty stomach. Increase by 1 drop per dose per day until you get to 25 drops three times a day. Continue with 75 drops per day. Take at least 15 minutes before food or other supplements. Basic/Advanced Saturation.If you experience detox, nausea, throat burn, or stimulated heart rate, stop for 48 hours. Bioavailable iodine won’t harm you, but overdoing any potentially detoxifying supplement or food can make you feel very tired, achy, irritable, restless, or experience many other cleanse reactions, so always start with small servings and gradually increase as long as you don’t have any adverse reactions. Acceleradine® Iodine never substitutes thyroid meds. Accelerated Colloidal Silver®: Take 1 TBSP 3-5 times per day. Swish it in your mouth for one minute and then swallow. May be nebulized for lung infections, bronchitis, pneumonia and more. May be sprayed in the eyes for eye infections or on the skin for acne, rashes, and burns. For Ear infections, put 1-2 drops in the ear for two minutes and then dump out. Caution: Keep out of the reach of children. Before taking, consult your health care professional. Do not take this product if you are pregnant or nursing. Child usage and dosage only upon recommendation of the child’s doctor. Accelerated Ancient Salt® 4oz Refillable Shaker: General Use Put a pinch on your tongue 15 minutes after Acceleradine, add to water or drinks, and add liberally to food. If you are following the Accelerated Scalar Ancient Salt Rehydration program Take 4-6 drops of Acceleradine in 2-4 ounces of water 3 times a day, starting first thing in the morning. Follow immediately with 12 drops of Accelerated NucNoMore. Ten minutes later, put 1 tsp on your tongue or in water. People may need 1-2 teaspoons (tsp) daily. For nausea and detox Add 1/8-1/4 tsp to 8 oz. warm water or put straight on your tongue. Detox baths Lightly dry skin brush body. Take 2-cup sea salt (not epsom) high frequency detox bath with 2-3 Tbsp of Accelerated Ancient Salt®. 70-90% of toxins can exit skin such as with sea salt detox baths helping offload internal organs & systems such as kidney, liver, colon, lungs & lymph. The reason is the negative charge of salt combined with high frequency magnetizes toxins, parasites, and undigested fat out through skin. Ola Loa: Adults: Mix 1 level scoop (or packet) with 4-6 oz of water to taste. Consume once daily or twice daily when traveling or exercising. Children over 5: 1/2 scoop daily.

A single-strain probiotic with a concentrated dose of Bacillus subtilis HU58, formulated to support healthy immune function, SIBO, and to maintain a healthy balance of intestinal microflora. Health Benefits of HU58™ • 100% survivability in the digestive tract• 40% increase in short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production• Maintains#92D111 healthy digestion• Supports healthy immune function Survivability Bacillus subtilis HU58™ is a very robust probiotic that forms an outer protective shell, known as an endospore. This near-impenetrable coating protects the bacterium from harsh environments, including heat, acid, pressure, light, and lack of oxygen. The rugged nature of Bacillus subtilis makes it the perfect probiotic to survive manufacturing, packaging, shipping, and ultimately digestion. In fact, this species is so resilient that researchers at California Polytechnic State University reported reviving Bacillus spores from the gut of a 25-million-year-old bee that was fossilized in amber. Healthy Digestion You may have heard that “you are what you eat,” but a more accurate phrase would be that “you are what you digest and absorb.” Digestion begins in the mouth with digestive enzymes present in saliva. Your body then relies on you to chew your food into small pieces before sending it through your stomach acid for further breakdown. Once your food passes through the stomach, the final step of digestion relies almost entirely upon the digestive enzymes from your pancreas. Bacillus subtilis helps to maintain healthy digestion by increasing the production of digestive enzymes in the gut, including amylase, protease, lipase, and more. Instructions Take 1-2 capsules daily with a meal, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.

Health Concerns was the first company to manufacture Chinese herbal products in the United States for practitioners. Today Health Concerns continues to research, test, and adapt traditional formulas by applying the science of modern biochemistry. As a result, Health Concerns can offer a variety of formulas for a full range of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment protocols as well as many products that address the specific conditions of Western patients.

Mission & Values Health Concerns is dedicated to promoting the benefits of herbal therapies by providing the highest quality herbal products available today. They understand that the traditional means of administering Traditional Chinese Medicine, through the brewing and drinking of teas, is not often effective for Western patients and have therefore developed a wide range of products based on TCM formulas in a tablet form. Health Concerns delivers outstanding products that improve people’s lives. Product Quality Assurance Herb Selection Their quality control program begins with the herbs themselves. They hand select the finest wild picked or organically grown herbs whenever possible, paying close attention to species, region of cultivation, time of harvest, and the spirit in which plants are grown and collected. They use only the most potent part of the plant. They do not use herbs that are endangered, sprayed or fumigated. Laboratory Testing Trained herbalists evaluate the herbs for quality on the basis of smell, taste and appearance, as has been done for thousands of years. The amount of active components, strength, and efficacy are then verified by analysis. To screen for pesticides, heavy metals, sulfites, and bacterial contamination, samples are sent to independent labs, which use the latest technology. Capillary electrophoresis, high-pressure liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, and thin-layer chromatography provide detailed compositional analysis at the molecular level. Processing and Potency Once the herbs have passed inspection, they are processed according to tradition to maximize potency and eliminate undesired effects. Raw herbs may be steamed, baked, alcohol-soaked or ginger-processed. The selection of each herb is double-checked and quantities are weighed twice so that formulas are uniform from batch to batch. Herbs are granulated and cooked as a decoction to improve bio availability. Combining Components They devote meticulous attention to each individual component of a formula and then, of course, to how components work together. Roots are cooked over low temperature overnight. Flowers are prepared by infusion. Alkaloid-containing herbs are soaked in alcohol, and aromatic extracts are added last to preserve their volatile components. A small amount of acacia gum and cellulose are used to bind the ingredients together, while magnesium aids the tableting process. Tableting and Packaging Once the herbs are compressed into tablets, they are coated to ease swallowing and preserve freshness. To make sure they can be absorbed, their disintegration is timed. During the final stage of manufacturing, they are packaged into bottles, inner and outer safety seals are applied, and each bottle is stamped with a lot number and manufacture date. A sample of each batch is sent to an outside lab to ensure the accuracy, purity and potency. Fully Tested & Guaranteed All Health concerns formulas are made in accordance with cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practices).
