Then there is a top class of herbs. There are about fifty. Of those,
there are about twenty that we would call supertonics that are the
top of the top. Those herbs are called superior herbs, better taken
earlier on in life, starting when you are healthy. Take them all the
time, and you will build radiant health, superior health and then
you never get sick in the first place. That is why they are called
superior herbs or tonic herbs because they tonify your body.
For an herb to be a tonic herb is it has to nourish one, if not more,
of the Three Treasures. The Three Treasures is a profound
philosophical system that runs through all of the Chinese healing
arts. Some people know this stuff that I am talking about. I am just
giving a little lay down, because some people don't know, and I
really want this to be clear before I talk about Jing.
The Three Treasures are three energies that the Chinese believe
make up your entire life. The Jing is the essence, the primal
essence, and that is the energy that is inherited ancestrally through
your mothers and father's lines. Their genes change based on the
life experiences they go through and what they adapt to, and what
they eat, and what they think, and how long they live, and on and
on. That is passed on. It goes into the fetal cells from the sperm and
the ova into your body.
You have original Jing which is stored in the lower lumbar. That
feeds the whole body. That genetically determines how long you
are going to live, how strong you are going to be, when you are
going to go into menopause, when you are going to get gray hair,
when you are going to lose bone density, how long your offspring
will live, how much will and drive and courage you will have, and
how strong and young and vital your body is. It will determine
everything about your makeup your brain, your psychological

Page 5
outlook on life, whether you have more courage or more fear, and
how you adapt to stress. It's fundamental one of the most
important things about our physical existence that we have to
respect and understand how to use. So, the Jing is the first
treasure.
The second treasure is Qi, which is immediate energy, vitality. That
is the active energy we use on a daily basis. As soon as we are out
of the womb and we are operating on our own energy, we release a
little bit of Jing to function; then the spleen and lungs act upon the
air we breathe and the food we eat to make Qi that goes to the
meridians to animate the body.
The Shen is the third treasure.
That is the spirit that comes from
the heart up. That's the light of
our being. We have a lovely
picture of a candle here. The
candle analogy is used in the
Three Treasures system.
If you look at a candle, the wax
the substance is the Jing. If
you took energy and retracted it
and condensed it into a form
that was stored and very potent
that's Jing. It's so potent that
you can release it when you
want. The body will release Jing on demand into any organ it needs
to if something is off-balance, or if it goes into a stress response, or
if it goes through extreme trauma. It's that Jing that gets you
through. Learning how to preserve it, and learning how to build it

Page 8
And then it starts to affect the fourth treasure, if there was one:
your will. It affects your Shen, because now you don't have fear.
You are not in a preservation or survival state to try to deal with
life. You have an abundance of excess energy, eventually and
then it gets exciting. You can go out into life and you can use this
energy to bounce back if you hit some resistance or contrast. To be
able to do that in today's world, where chronic fatigue is as
common as headaches, is rare.
I started using Jing herbs at higher doses and I started mixing them
more and more. A lot of the people who have been following the
work that David Wolfe and Longevity Now are doing have heard
about these Jing herbs, to some degree, because I helped to bring
these hot-water-extracted cooked herbs to a larger raw food
audience that wasn't really interested in them before. I think it
probably all started at Erewhon about seven or eight years ago,
when I convinced David (after three hours) to buy a bottle of hotwater-extracted reishi.
I started taking the Jing herbs and mixing them up, more and more
and more. About six months ago, I wanted to take it a little further.
I got a new version of shilajit. I didn't think it was important to put
shilajit in hot tea. I just thought, Its a superfood mix it in stuff.
What I did next was I took all my best Jing herbs at the highest
dose. I have gone around the different deer antlers; I've gone
around the different schizandras; tried deer placenta straight in the
mouth; I've tried it in a hot tea. Finally, I struck on a recipe with a
pretty good dose of all the main gentle yin and yang kidney tonics
the best extracts that need to be done in alcohol tinctures or
liquids and then a very special extra substance (if you are not a
vegan, that is): the deer placenta.

I add the right oils that I think are very helpful for the endocrine
system. Keeping with what I call BED (Body Ecology Diet), I also add
stevia (no sugar), and a little bit of some creamer; and a filler agent
like Dandy Blend, to help smooth out and suspend the whole drink
and make it taste really good. I came upon a recipe that was really
strong. I call it Jing City.
Jing City Tea
Heres an example of the power of this recipe. About two weeks
ago, a lady came to the tonic bar. She was in her mid-thirties, six
months into chronic fatigue, just really burnt out. She heard about
me, came to the store, wanted me to make her a drink, and waited.
I knew the Jing City tea this new recipe was going to be
perfect for her. I made the full dose, which a lot of people can
handle. There might be a little bit of cleansing for some people that
are new, but these herbs aren't about cleansing; they are really
about building and nourishing.
She
probably
only needed a
half dose she
could only drink
half the tea. She
drank it slowly,
and she got
really calm. She
said she didn't
want to move,
and she didn't even want to think. She sat in the chair for about 45
minutes; because when the herbs come in, it stops you leaking Jing.
That's the first thing that happens.
Copyright 2011 Truth Calkins and New Horizon Health, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Page 10
Page 11
You can feel the energy coming in, but you can't use it yet because
it's still coming. Then, when it wears off in about 45 minutes for
most people you are all of a sudden completely replenished.
When the Jing is replenished, it feels like the morning you wake up
after a good night-long deep sleep. Its as if you got all your power
back.
Anyway, that lady went home, cleaned her whole apartment, slept,
had amazing dreams, woke up and felt amazing. Later she told me,
"I think I only need that one drink, because for two weeks straight
my chronic fatigue was completely gone." That was great to hear.
Some people need it every other day. She drank the other half the
next morning. So that's an example of what these herbs can do.
There is a time in our lives when we start getting depleted and
don't know how to get the energy back. Or maybe we are at our
peak, but outputting at such a high level that we can feel we are
pushing it a little too far. It's okay to get tired once in a while, but
you never want to tap too deep, to get exhausted because thats
burning up your prenatal Jing, and that's shortening your life span.
That's aging your body. That's changing your genes in a
disadvantaged way.
When you know how to take a tea like this and put it together for
yourself, this is like a human battery recharge tonic. You have to
feel it, to experience it. I've been making this drink a lot, and have
been hearing some great testimonials from people. I am very
excited to be seeing the results.
Putting It All Together
I'm going to make Jing City tea here. We've got enough liquid to
make four one Vita-Mix pitcher. I have taken all the herbs the
Copyright 2011 Truth Calkins and New Horizon Health, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Page 12
Ho Shou Wu, the cordyceps, the eucommia, the cistanche, and the
rehmannia from a few different sources, the best places I could
find from my experience working with the herbs, and I have added
a little bit of bupleurum and dragon bone instead of pearl. When I
make it at the bar sometimes I use pearl, but the pearl is really hard
to get the quality grade I want. The dragon bone works as a
grounding supplement, to kind of anchor the Jing because it's a
lot of Jing herbs at once, and sometimes the energy rises pretty
fast.
There was a Dragon Herbs store inside Golden Bridge yoga studio.
Gurmukh, the famous yoga teacher there, has been taking Ron
Teeguarden's herbs for a long time. She said the reason why she
wanted the store and why she takes the herbs, and why she
wants her yoga students to take them is because these herbs
have the kundalini energy. They go to the core where that energy
is, and then the kundalini starts coming up.
This is life force, or the ojas. The source of prana is so deep. You
can't get this from food. You can try all kinds of diets. Maybe some
primal foods start building up some of this energy because they
have a lot of yin some of the raw animal foods but it's really
something you can't get in another food group. This is like a fifth
food group that doesn't exist in the normal system. We westerners
don't know anything about this. To us, it's all just theory. And if
someone tells us about these things, were like, "You're crazy.
That's too good to be true. Herbs can't do that." But the Taoists
studied these sacred substances for a long time, and they felt what
they did.
Coming out of chronic fatigue, I opened that door through
research. I just thought I needed energy. But I realized I needed

supermarket. It's like Vons, but it's healthier; and I've got to make
drinks taste goodso I started using chocolate.
Chocolate tastes good, but it stimulates a lot of people. That leaks
Jing so I don't want to stimulate. It also releases serotonin. I
want a serotonic; I want something that restores serotonin,
because that's your yin. So the Dandy Blend started getting
popular. One of the girls at the tonic bar started using it in the
drinks. It tastes really great. It's gluten-free, with a tiny bit of carbs,
but no stimulant. It has a little bit of dandelion. It's good for the
liver. It's mostly roasted barley, rye, a little bit of a grain. That
suspends the herbs, keeps it smooth with the oil so there is no
head on the drink. It's not all frothy, with all the herbs settling into
the bottom like mud.
So we have a suspended, smooth drink with a little Dandy Blend, a
little RenewPro and our New Chapter raw whey protein, with a
little bit of polypeptides and a little bit of immunoglobulins left in
there. It's like a Qi form of colostrum, kind of but more
affordable. You could use colostrum, but you are probably going to
kill the growth factors in it because of the heat.
I put in a little RenewPro to cream it, smooth it out. That has a little
bit of protein. And just a dash of Miracle Salt or an ionic trace
mineral supplement to add the minerals. At Erewhon, we have
never had a certified organic stevia in 10 years. I got the first one I
could get in here, which is great. It's just a little bit to bring the
sweetness up.
The key new ingredient for me is the shilajit. I used to think shilajit
was to put into cold superfoods. But the first time I got the dark,
strong shilajit, the high-mountain Tibetan stuff it's really black
and potent I put a half teaspoon of that into the hot tea with the
Copyright 2011 Truth Calkins and New Horizon Health, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Page 17
herbs, then blended it on high to cook it and get the mix. When I
drink it, I realize that shilajit is a potentiator.
When they make really good ginseng, they always use a
potentiator, they use a harmonizer, they use a catalyst some
jujube date or a little licorice or a spleen tonic to help the spleen
work a little bit better. Shilajit is a full-blown amplifier. It doubles to
quadruples the potency of all those Jing herbs if it's hot in the tea
and they are mixed together. You cook them together. You blend it
on high for a minute or two until there is smoke coming off like
it's hotter than it was before you made the tea.
That cooking alchemizes all of the ingredients the oils, the Dandy
Blend, the RenewPro, the sweeteners and the herbs. And you end
up with a final product that is like something you get at Starbucks,
like a strong coffee espresso: smooth, nice, light taste, no sugar, no
gluten, and really good fats that actually have some hormonal
intention. The zinc and the other trace minerals in the pumpkin
seed oil are amazing for the prostate and the ovaries.
Now we add ghee. This is true
Ayurvedic ghee, Ancient Organics.
This is from Ayurvedic herbalism; this
is like God. This is like the essence of
life. They put a teaspoon in every
infant's mouth when it is first born.
And it's refined down to have more
of the conjugative linoleic acid. It's
good for detoxing, and it helps with
certain cholesterols. Read about it;
it's an amazing food. And then a little
bit of coconut oil, which we all love.

Page 18
Now you have this drink that tastes like Starbucks, but we are
talking Jingbucks. This is a whole other stratosphere. I can bring
someone in fresh off the street who is depleted and they might
not even know they are depleted. They just want something that
tastes good. And this tastes good. But what they start feeling is
beyond any experience they have ever had; because it stops them
from stressing, and it brings them into the now. Their blood starts
flowing and circulating, and their serotonin and their yin comes
back; and when it's done recharging they've got their core back,
something they haven't felt for years.
It's amazing, but you can do it all the time. And the good news is:
the longer you do it, it builds. It's cumulative. The Taoists are all
about not leaking Jing
changing, refining the
DNA, building Jing, eating
these substances all the
time so that your great
grandchildren will live
longer. You're modifying
the human race, but
you're
empowering
yourself for your creation.
Understanding Dosages and Ingredients
So we make it taste good, we make it smooth, we make it BED, we
make it hot and we drink it on empty. You've just got to find out
how sensitive you are, whether you go full dose or half dose. You
may have great Jing and just do it once a week or you may be
someone who needs it every other day in the beginning.

strong yin and strong yang. A little yin stabilizing calms and helps
you replenish so that you get that download.
Eucommia is another good gentle yin and yang tonic more yang
than yin. It's a rubber tree. You can stretch it. You can see the
stretchy fibers. That goes right to the ligaments and tendons, and
builds the joints. All the martial artists would take it to help joints.
Like rehmannia, it also helps to regulate the endocrine glands and
the hormones.
And then we've got cistanche. I wouldn't have discovered cistanche
if I wasn't so into Jing herbs. I noticed early on that most of the
Chinese herbalists like to formulate things. They'll sell a few
supertonic herbs straight, like reishi, because it's so good; it's a
complete tonic by itself. Or
sometimes schizandra,
or
lyceum, or deer antler, or
cordyceps; but not many
others. When you go further
down the list of Jing herbs and
you get to an herb like
cistanche, they never sell it
straight. As I read each one, I
thought, I've tried this one,
I've tried this one, I've added
this one, and I love this
philosophy of Jing "but how
can I go further?"
They never do this one, cistanche, separately. But I wanted it
separate, so I asked someone to get it for me by the kilo. The first
time I had cistanche straight, I put a teaspoon of it in a tea. It tastes
Copyright 2011 Truth Calkins and New Horizon Health, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Page 22
really good. The next day, I felt the increase in sex hormones. It's
used in all the sexual classics. It's a powerful sex hormone and
libido tonic. It's also a yin and yang Jing tonic that is great for the
large intestine and the kidneys, and it builds blood. I felt the yin
when I first drank it. I felt the calming, like Ho Shou Wu or
rehmannia. And I felt the kidney and the warmth a little bit in
there. Then I noticed the potent libido effect, so I realized, "Okay,
that's why they use small amounts when they mix it." So you have
to be careful.
Just keep taking it mixed with the other herbs, because we're
looking for the long-term building effects. We're looking for the
quick download recharge. We want the inner power that these
things provide. I would have never gotten to experiment with
isolated Jing herbs if I had not been curious enough to try to dissect
them.
And I never would have never done that if I had spent thousands of
dollars to go through four years at acupuncture school, learning to
use the herbs the way they do. If I had, I would probably be
tiptoeing around these herbs, thinking, "This is too yang, this is too
extreme, this is too strong, you're going to hurt somebody's
kidneys." I came to it from a different point of view and I feel
blessed because I feel like I'm getting amazing results that are
very pertinent for people who want to know how to replenish this
kind of energy quickly, safely and deeply.
Adding the Tinctures
Now we are going to go through our tinctures, the Jing herb addons that we are using in this drink, starting with deer antler. I have
moved around with different deer antlers, and I get some
customers that are a little confused with some of the new high-tech
Copyright 2011 Truth Calkins and New Horizon Health, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Page 23

Page 24
Next, Ill add schizandra. If you take it every day, schizandra is one
of the best herbs long-term. It builds all Three Treasures. Ive tried
a lot of different extracts. Some companies have changed over
time. I love the extracts that George is doing at Jing Herbs. They are
very thick, very concentrated, and really strong. This schizandra has
lycium (the goji berry) with some longan added. So same thing,
six squirts per drink. It should be about 24 squirts for four doses.
And then Dew Drops. This is an amazing herb. I think Ron got
separated from his teacher in the early '70s after a few years
because they were in an argument over whether or not people
could fly by consuming wild red asparagus root like, literally fly.
And Ron said to his teacher, "No, you mean people could fly
metaphorically. They could go out of their body or they could
meditate," and Master Park
said, "No, no. They would chew
on the roots for long periods of
time. They would do this for
years. They would fast. They
would do baghua martial arts,
they would cultivate their Qi,
and they would meditate. They
would get buoyant. They would
walk up hills and they wouldn't
feel gravity. They would be
light."
If you do the Five Rites of Rejuvenation enough, its almost like
there is an invisible pogo stick at the base of the spine that is lifting
you up, and when you walk there is a lightness, there is an airiness,
there is a buoyancy. You can hike up hills and you don't feel your
gravity quite the same. It's as if your cells are spinning faster and
Copyright 2011 Truth Calkins and New Horizon Health, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Page 25
you are levitating just a little bit. And then you get to the point
where you can jump a little further; and then you start to get to the
point where, like in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, you can run
and fly.
And Master Sung Jin Park said they could fly. So it was, I don't
know, early '70s when they were flying to the East together
because Sung Jin Park was going to take Ron there to the hermitage
in the mountain in Korea where he came from, and let him meet
the people who could fly. But there was a war going on, and at the
stopover Ron was separated from him because he was American.
They sent him back, and that was the end of that story. But I think
there could be some truth in it.
So we are going to put in the Dew Drops, wild red asparagus root.
This is yin and cooling, and it promotes fluids, moisture. The Taoists
were all about not leaking excessive fluids: incontinence, loss of the
semen, over-sweating, getting dehydrated, and diarrhea
anything that makes you lose the fluids that we have in abundance
when we are young. A woman who is going through Jing depletion
and menopause at the same time, and who is really stressed out
gets dry hot. She doesn't have those fluids.
Once you start building the Jing back and getting the core, you start
changing your intracellular hydration. If you are drinking better
water it helps. If you start getting the toxins out, that helps. If you
start putting some of the fluids in, like the extracellular matrix that
is probably in the mucilage of deer antler tip it's hyaluronan, true
bioavailable hyaluronic acid it puts the fluids back. When you
look at the structure of the tissue of a 16-year-old person, it's thick
and pliable and tight. Its plump, beautiful healthy tissue. This is a

Then make a second Jing City. That's exactly what I did this
morning, because I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. It works like
nobody's business. You're calm and you're strong and you're there.
To know how to cultivate that kind of inner power, that is an art
form. For some people, it's live fast, die young. They are born with
some Jing and they just take it for granted and burn it out. They are
only 30, or they are 40, or they are 50, whatever that is still so
young. I mean, you want to be able to live to 200 if you want to
even start getting spiritual. That's what the masters are saying.
Most people burn out too fast. When you learn the arts of
cultivating life force like this, you've got something that nobody
else has. You don't have to be a raw deadhead, or a yogi, or a
spiritual person, or a Buddhist to get into this stuff. You could be a
totally regular, normal person. You can be a Wall Street matrix Jing
slinger. You could just have a blender in a corner and boom, just go.
You can have a place at work to make one in the afternoon if you
want to. It's rocket fuel.
In Gratitude
This is a good moment to give thanks to some of my teachers,
because I wouldn't know this stuff if it wasn't for Ron. I studied
online, and then I got one of Rons old books, his first book that
came out in the '80s. That's like finding the Holy Grail. Imagine if
there were only 500 copies of the Bible ever printed, and you found
one at a used book store. It was pretty amazing.
I got into buying a few bulk herbs when I found Teeguarden Herbal
Emporium. My car broke down and I had to walk for miles at night.
I remember feeling really bummed out. I was struggling with my
BED ups and downs, the early years this was 2001 or so and
then I stopped to put the gas can down. I'm resting and I turn
Copyright 2011 Truth Calkins and New Horizon Health, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Page 29
get it? Nah, I'll just skip it." They don't really know how good this
stuff is, because they don't take it right.
I give thanks to people like George Lamoureux, because I would talk
to him over and over again when he worked for Teeguarden Herbal
Emporium; and Roger Drummer who worked beside him. He was
an amazing man and a practitioner of these arts. When I went on to
Dragon Herbs, the same thing happened. Rehmannia Dean Thomas
helped me get to the next level there. Without Ron and then these
other people subsequently, I would have never been led to this
stuff.
Now I'm over my chronic fatigue. I have new goals. I'm moving on
with my life. But I have learned something. You dont have to go on
a pilgrimage to China and find some Taoist monk by accident in a
cave and live with him for 10 years and they don't like Americans
very much, anyway. They don't want to tell you this stuff. They
think we have no respect for this kind of thing. This is so sacred and
deep.
Ron healed his own chronic fatigue with Shou Wu Chi just this
cheap formula from Chinatown. He had been in bed with chronic
Copyright 2011 Truth Calkins and New Horizon Health, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Page 30
fatigue and burnout from study and sex and overwork and
everything that everybody did in the late '60s, I guess. He had low
Jing to begin with. Nothing could get him out of bed, so his
roommate got him a bottle of Shou Wu Chi. He drank the whole
thing in a couple days instead of doing the recommended one
teaspoon in a hot cup of water. He could feel the life force coming
back, and he was up and out of bed and saying, "What is this?" He
bought a case, and kept slugging it down.
He quit med school and moved to California. He went to the Tao
Healing Arts Center in Santa Monica, looking for how to get these
herbs going when he found an ad for a very rare form of Qigong.
Master Sung Jin Park was I don't know maybe in his late
teens. He was young, and he was sent from a Taoist hermitage cave
to America to teach ten people about Taoism. Kind of an initiation
for manhood. And he didn't like it; he couldn't find anybody that
would listen, so he put out an ad for an ancient form of Qigong that
most people had only read about.
Ron answered the ad, and there was one other guy there. Then a
Korean kid walks in and says, "Head on floor, back against wall,"
walks out, starts smoking a cigarette. So Ron is upside down like
this, and his neck is cracking. The other guy gets down, swears, and
walks out. The Korean kid walks in and says to Ron, "Okay, you're
the one. I'm going to teach you, and you are going to teach ten
people about Taoism." And then Ron had to drive him everywhere
and do his laundry. Just to learn one herb.
You know, I had to get really sick. My soul had to make a big change
in my life, and I had to come to terms with what really matters to
me. That meant letting go of a lot of things. I had to pray and, from
a very truthful place, really want divine guidance. Something above

On the label, there is a recipe for the half Jing City. Just use
three tablespoons in hot water or gynostemma tea. You don't have
to use the oil, but it really helps suspend it. I think it helps the
release if you use a little bit of one of the healing oils, or all three.
Then there is a recipe for the full Jing City, which is six tablespoons
in hot water or tea with the oils. The full Jing City Max is what I like.
That's with the add-ons, including the deer placenta.
Deer placenta is a little expensive. If you are depleted, you can take
four to six capsules of this blended up with some other hot Jing
herbs to potentiate it all. When you drink it, you can smell the musk
from the deer placenta a little bit when it comes off. It adds a nice,
slightly salty taste. Placenta is what nourishes new life. It is a deep,
profound, powerful substance.
This
is
10-to-1
concentrated
New
Zealand deer placenta.
The ranchers have
very special farms out
in the country. It's a
pretty
high-end
business. They love
the deer; they take
really good care of
them. They are free to roam, and they come back with their flock
on their own. They are safe from predators and they are fenced,
but they are out in beautiful places and are fed well, and cared for
and loved. The ranchers clip the tips off the horn once a year when
the fork happens. It's an annual rhythm. That deer antler tip grows
back. The tip grows out from the heading, releasing the stem cells.

It's the only mammal that can regenerate. The difference between
healing and regeneration is big. We all know that if we sever our
nerves, our spinal cord, we can't regenerate that. Most probably,
we wouldnt be able walk. Or if we lose a chunk of muscle, the skin
heals over but the muscle doesn't grow back. If we damage our
heart from cardiovascular problems we get scar tissue, but heart
cells can't grow back.
If you hurt your liver, you could chop out three-quarters of it and
grow the whole thing back pretty fast, because you have organspecific stem cells that are helping that. Or the intestinal crypt in
your gut you can grow that back quickly. Thats regeneration, the
definition being the reactivation of developmental processes to
restore missing or damaged tissue to its original state with its
original functionality instead of having an operation and putting
a metal thing in your knee or a fake thing. That's actually growing
back the original tissue, like you had when you were 16 years of
age. That's real regeneration, and that's where we're going. That's
more exciting. Stem cells can help with that.
There are some animals, like the salamander, whose arm can be
clipped off; and every single time, it will grow the whole thing back
perfectly because it's got those organ-specific stem cells. But the
only mammal we know that does this, the closest animal to us, is
the deer. And the Chinese knew it 4,000 years ago.
And then theres the placenta. When people have been through
extreme trauma and shock, like war victims who have been
tortured for weeks in a camp and are ready to die from total fear,
paranoia, exhaustion, or trauma; that is when to bring out large
doses of straight placenta because it can bring back the life

eat, what we go through, and what we learn, our genes change and
it changes our makeup.
When you start using these herbs on such a deep level because
the DNA is part of the Jing you will find many correlations with
Jing and telomeres. For example, after you get to a certain point
when it's hard to build the Jing back. That last repetition of DNA
that stops your chromosome from unraveling and your genes from
turning off, and stops you getting cancer and dying that's your
prenatal Jing. You don't want to go there. You want to build up
reserves of postnatal Jing. You can burn in the postnatal, but you
can also build it back up, and you can add excess. That's life
extension.
But yeah, I think it's gentle enough for kids. Even a low dose of
some of these tinctures, like Dew Drops, is safe for kids. The Three
Sisters is pretty safe; but the deer antler is pretty powerful. This is
nature's answer to steroids, so I would just do low doses for kids.
When they start growing, they could start doing a little more. If
someone starts taking those herbs at that age, you are going to
have an anabolic biomachine, like a recon marine.
Going to the other end of the spectrum, as a postmenopausal
woman you have to know how to regulate yin and yang. You have
to take much more cooling herbs. You have to regulate the
hormones gently, bring in the bupleurum and peony formula. There
are lifestyle diets and certain oils and minerals that can help with
the hormones getting younger.
If you are not going to take bioidenticals hormones; if you are not
going to do something outside your body; if you want to do it
endogenously again, as you once did, you have to go slowly and
carefully. When the hormones start getting more balanced, you can

add in some yang herbs and it won't give you a hot flash, it won't
stimulate you because the body is behaving more like that of a
premenopausal woman, or younger.
And then sometimes, depending on how many years since they
stopped menstruating, I have seen women get their cycles back
whether they think that's good or not. Every two years after
menopause, most women's hormones are diving by 90 percent. If
you use Jing herbs and reverse that, that is not going to happen to
you. You are going to be more like the women at Hunza Valley in
the 1960s, when Bernard Jensen went there. At 90, some were still
having babies, and didn't look a day over 40.
