Dr.
Mowrey,
earned his advanced degree in
experimental psychology from Brigham Young University. His
specialized area was psychopharmacology, with related studies
in biochemistry, neurology, anatomy, and physiology. His
research in the area of medicinal botany led to the
publications of several books, including
Herbal Tonic Therapies.
JC Tonic®
is
currently the only thing on the market that really embodies
the whole body concept in the way that it was originally
designed, the way that it was used in China for centuries but
has been absent in Western medicine for hundreds, perhaps even
thousands, of years. This is a concept that embodies the
ability to restore balance and health in all of the systems of
the body; the immune system, the cardiovascular system, the
digestive system, the reproductive system, the nervous system,
and so on. Each system of the body has an optimum place where
it operates and if we can keep that system operating at its
optimum point, at the level that produces health, then our
ability to resist many diseases that are plaguing our society
is dramatically increased and that is what the promise of
JC Tonic
is, to do just exactly that.
JC Tonic
earns its right to be called a Whole Body Tonic because it
embodies the 10 essential properties required to aid all body
systems. |
1
- The
first thing
JC Tonic
does is restore and maintain balance, homeostasis,
throughout all of the body systems.
2
-
Secondly,
JC Tonic
is able to increase energy through normal metabolic
means, not artificially. You will not feel any effects
like you might get from caffeine or something like that.
It is a normal enhancement of metabolic energy.
3
- Third, it increases our general, overall resistance
to infections of all kinds and it does that by enhancing
the tonic property of the immune system. The immune
system will be in perfect balance.
4
-
Fourth,
JC Tonic
will decrease the effects of stress and anxiety on our
ability to perform and our ability to rest and sleep.
People should not be taking one herb to put them to
sleep, and another herb to wake them up in the morning.
They shouldn't have to resort to artificial drugs for
reducing sleep and anxiety. The tonic herbs in
JC Tonic
will do all of that.
5
-
Fifth,
JC Tonic
will protect from free-radical damage. That just means
that the tonic has good antioxidant activity.
6
-
The sixth thing that
JC Tonic
does is increase the body's ability to build muscle
and/or lose weight through the burning of calories. So
it improves the body's ability to utilize the dietary
calories that we consume each and every day.
7
-
Another thing
JC Tonic
does is regulate digestion processes and balance them
and, in the process, keep all of the organs and glands
that are part of that system in balance. It will prevent
such things as simple indigestion or ulcers. The tonic
is also able to lower cholesterol and so forth.
8
-
In addition to that, it is also able to strengthen the
heart, to reduce cholesterol, blood pressure, to keep
the bloods ability to clot in balance, so it isn't too
much or too little. In other words, the tonic will keep
the cardiovascular system in good health and that is a
big issue and very difficult for drugs to do. Almost
impossible for drugs to do, let's be honest about it,
and there are very few herbs that can do that over the
course of a person’s life. But the tonic herbs in
JC Tonic
have that ability.
9
-
Another thing
JC Tonic
does is target the liver, the kidneys, and other glands
related to the blood-purifying concept, and keep them in
optimum health so that they can do their job the way
that they are designed to and therefore reduce
significantly the exposure to stressful toxins and
pollutants in our atmosphere and food and so forth.
10
-
Finally, we have to address the lower bowel. This is a
difficult thing to address for any substance and it's
one in which you would not picture the tonic being very
helpful. Typically, we just want our bowels to run more
if we are constipated or run less if we have diarrhea
and it is hard to imagine something that would fight
both of those tendencies at once, but in fact, the tonic
herbs in
JC Tonic
do
that and they do it very well. |
|
So, those are the
principals that the Whole Body Tonic will address. We have
something here with
JC Tonic
that for decades has been able to offer all this to people who
are willing and ready to consume it. Again, I distilled this
from years of research and was I surprised to find out that
here was a man, Anthony's father, who managed to do this
decades ago. Well, I am glad he did and I am glad there is
somebody out there who's been able to understand the tonic
concept and put it into some kind of practical application
that people can take advantage of. I think that's just
exciting and I hope everyone understands how precious and how
valuable this particular product is.
EXCERPTS FROM
Tonics Are A Great Paradox
By Daniel B. Mowrey, Ph.D.
Was I the only American that knew this? Was I supposed to
become the prophet heralding the great value of tonics on this
continent? I searched the herbals high and low. The word tonic
was mentioned often, but the understanding was more or less
absent or misunderstood by all writers. Rudiments were there;
it was apparent that in the first decades following the
settlement of America, that tonics were somewhat better
understood but the notion was lost by the early decades of the
20th
century following the ascendancy of orthodox heroic medicine.
And so the necessity for writing Herbal Tonic Therapies was
born.
But I had missed something. A
dedicated and enlightened man quietly put together a magical
combination of herbal tonics, supplemented with some important
minerals that also supported balanced health, and began giving
it away and eventually selling it to fortunate Americans. He
called it the whole body tonic. In my book, I held out the
possibility of a whole body tonic as a sort of Holy Grail. But
here it was. And here it is. And my hat is off to that man –
and to his son – for dedicating their lives to promoting
perhaps the single most useful product – nay, medicine – nay,
health solution – yet developed in America. and so it is.
EXCERPTS FROM
Herbal Tonic Therapies
By Daniel B. Mowrey, Ph.D.
BIDIRECTIONALITY
This definition of
a tonic clearly excludes the notion of “making stronger” by
pushing the body in one direction only. A particular
non-tonic drug or herb designed to enhance the function of the
immune system, for example, might stimulate the production of
white blood cells. Goldenseal is an example of this kind of
action. Administered to an ailing patient, it would increase
T-cell activity and enhance other immunological functions.
That’s all it would “know” how to do. It would not be able to
recognize the difference between a body deficient in white
blood cells and one that had too many white blood cells. Its
action is uni-directional. It carries but one signal to the
body system; in this example, to produce more white blood
cells. This over-stimulation could lead to severe imbalances,
and it is unlikely that such an agent would be able to address
the problem of an over-reactive immune system, as, for
example, in a person with an allergy.
In contrast, an
immunotonic is an herb that restores balance to the immune
system function no matter which way it departs from normal.
It is bidirectional. Echinacea is such an herb. It is
capable of sending either of two possible contradictory
signals to the body. Thus, in a person with depressed white
blood cell counts, Echinacea sends a signal to the body to
begin producing more white blood cells, and in a person with
too many white blood cells, it decelerates the production of
white blood cells. It stabilizes the histamine-containing
mast cell membrane in persons with hay fever rather than
sensitizing it, as do many immune-enhancers.
The concept of a
tonic sounds strange to modern ears. We simply have not made
room in our medical or nutritional agendas for a concept of a
substance that restores balance. This will change as the
medical community begins to realize that many modern plagues
may be prevented, and even treated by maintaining optimum
health in all body systems. Such a reorientation of thought
demands that much less emphasis be placed on finding and
killing “germs”, and much more on increasing the body systems’
natural defense and restorative powers. The concept of the
herbal tonic will be a signpost for the new research.
In summary, tonics
do not over-stimulate the body. They are bidirectional,
capable of both increasing and decreasing the activity of body
processes. Herbs whose action is bidirectional (or,
sometimes, multidirectional) are called tonics. As far as I
know, there are no bidirectional drugs, nor is any effort
currently under way to invent any. In order to conceptualize
drugs as materials for restoring balance, the scientific world
will have to undergo a total paradigm shift; it is not ready
to do that. |
