· Fighting to recover? Trying to prevent illness?
· Originally formulated to support recovery from cancer treatments.

We all know the devastation cancer brings: we know someone who has it, has had it, or we have personal experience fighting it. This ancient formula is used in Ayurveda to support recovery from cancer treatments and treatments’ side effects. It is designed to be part of a complete strategy, realizing that everyone has different needs and reactions.
TheraVeda Anti-Oxidant Cellular Support is now used for a variety of health-supporting situations and for whole body support.

Since TheraVeda Anti-Oxidant Cellular Support combines herbs to strengthen immunity and support healing and balance on a cellular and a systemic level, it is being used to support the body's recovery from a variety of illnesses and fatigued states. People recovering from any condition which exhausts the immune system may find this herbal support formula a useful part of their recovery. It is also being used as a powerful antioxidant, with the herbs being studied for cancer preventative and overall immune support. TheraVeda Anti-Oxidant Cellular Support is designed to support overall health and well-being

The first focus of TheraVeda Anti-Oxidant Cellular Support is support for the immune system. The second focus is support for emotional well being. The third focus is to provide support for normal growth of cells and tissues. And last but not least, the herbs in this formula have a tradition and a scientific record of supporting quality of life as tonics, of stabilizing digestion, and of nourishing the body overall. What herbs do we use, and why?

Turmeric- The PDR (Physicians' Desk Reference) for Herbal Medicines states that turmeric is antihepatotoxic – meaning it works to support the liver against toxins. It is anti-inflammatory, meaning it can help when the body is overheated, inflamed, feverish. Also turmeric is reported to be antimicrobial and antitumoral. It is approved for use in Europe by Commission E, specifically for loss of appetite and upset stomach.

Neem Leaf- Has anti fungal, anti-inflammatory and anti pyretic action. It has been used for centuries for wasting diseases like malaria and leprosy, and clinical research shows promise for explaining how neem works in this type of situation. (1998, Dhar et al)

Ashwagandha- Used for centuries as an excellent tonic and adaptogen, similar to ginseng. An adaptogen is an herb that supports the body's total balance, including mental, physical and emotional. Ashwagandha is used for fatigue, exhaustion, despair, and to improve memory and focus.

Tinospora cordifolia- This is one of the most researched herbs in the world today as an immunostimulator and an immunomodulator, as well as being an antioxidant and showing promise in heart health. It also supports healthy digestion and liver function.

Ginger- Ginger has a reputation for aiding digestion, fighting nausea, as well as for helping the body assimilate other herbs. It is also a powerful antioxidant and reduces excess inflammation in the body.

O6-alkylguanines are potent mutagenic, pro-carcinogenic and cytotoxic lesions induced by exogenous and endogenous alkylating agents. A facilitated elimination of these lesions by increasing the activity of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is likely to be a beneficial chemoprevention strategy, which, however, has not been examined. Because, a marginal enhancement of this protein may be adequate for genomic protection, we studied alterations in MGMT activity and expression in human peripheral blood lymphocytes and cancer cell lines induced by water-soluble and alcohol-soluble constituents of several plants with established antioxidant and medicinal properties. Both the ethanolic and aqueous extracts from neem (Azadirachta indica), holy basil (Ocimum sanctum), winter cherry (Withania somnifera), and oregano (Origanum majorana) increased the levels of MGMT protein and its demethylation activity in a time-dependent manner with a maximum of 3-fold increase after 72-h treatment. The extracts from gooseberry (Emblica officinalis), common basil (Ocimum basilicum), and spearmint (Mentha viridis) were relatively less efficient in raising MGMT levels. Increased levels of MGMT mRNA accounted at least, in part, for the increased activity of the DNA repair protein. The herbal treatments also increased glutathione S-transferase-pi (GSTP1) expression, albeit to a lesser extent than MGMT. These data provide the first evidence for the upregulation of human MGMT by plant constituents and raise the possibility of rational dietary approaches for attenuating alkylation-induced carcinogenesis. Further, they reveal the putative antioxidant responsiveness of the MGMT gene in human cells.
