There is a Chinese herbal formula that has been in use for 1000 years to boost the immune system and to increase energy. It is also used today in cancer patients for its antitumor and antimetastatic effects as well its radioprotective effects with no adverse effects.
The formula is: Shi Quan Da Bu Tang or the Ten Complete (All Inclusive) great Healing Formula.

The days are getting shorter. Autumn is here and soon, winter will be upon us. Many of us who work long hours in office buildings will leave for work before the sun come comes up and go home after the sun goes down. We may not see any sunlight for weeks or even months on end.
During this time, if you experience some of these symptoms: fatigue, lack of interest in normal activities, social withdrawal, craving for foods high in carbohydrates, weight gain, then you may not have a simple case of the “winter blues”. You may have Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). This is a type of mood disorder that happens at a similar time every year. Symptoms start in the autumn and can continue through the winter. What causes SAD is still debated. Western Medicine treatment includes light therapy (phototherapy), psychotherapy and antidepressants.
So, how can acupuncture help with SAD? Acupuncture releases serotonin and noradrenaline-norepinephrine which are common stimulants used in the treatment of SAD. Recent studies indicate that electro-acupuncture may be a viable alternative to the use of antidepressants. Furthermore, acupuncture can regulate the hypothalamus in the brain which controls circadian rhythms and hunger.
Thanks for everyone’s support! My goal is to advance the profession of TCM by promoting awareness and visibility. As a result, the public will benefit by learning of a good alternative or complement for their healthcare. The president’s push for healthcare reform has heightened the public’s sensitivity to all matters concerning their health, thus making them more receptive to the subject of TCM. In the long run, TCM practitioner and layman both benefit.
I thank Dr. Oz for being a great champion of Energy Medicine. His support of acupuncture has helped the profession immensely. I thank Ms. Oprah Winfrey not only for allowing me to introduce acupuncture to her viewers but also for producing Dr. Oz’s new show. It will educate and entertain millions of people and motivate them to live healthier and happier lives.
People in China almost universally take these herbs every cold and flu season.
