For much of the last hundred years science has been searching
for a cure for cancer, arthritis, and even the common cold. Most
of the research has been focused on finding a "magic bullet" in
the form of an antibiotic, anti-inflammatory or vaccine. All the
while, inside our own body lies the most powerful cure for what
ails us, our immune system. The immune system is a person's
primary defense against disease. The following helath conditions
may be a direct result of immune system dysfunction:
Frequent Colds and Flu
Allergies and Asthma
Chronic
Fatigue
Fibromyalgia
Candida Yeast Overgrowth
Parasitic Infections
Psoriasis and Eczema
Rheumatoid
Arthritis
Viral Disorders
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Hepatitis
Cancer
Diabetes
Multiple Sclerosis
AIDS
Lupus
What is RM-10?
For thousands of years people have
used herbs to promote healthy immune system function and ward off
many diseases. RM-10 is a combination of 10 medicinal mushrooms
synergistically balanced with Aloe Vera and Uncaria tomentosa.
These unique nutrients have been specifically chosen to feed and
nourish the immune system. Each of the powerful ingredients in
RM-10 have been pre-digested using the Poten-Zyme process of
bio-fermentation creating enhanced absorption and utilization
while also providing beneficial probiotics and enzymes. RM-10 was
formulated by Jordan S. Rubin, C.N.C., for his grandmother who had
been diagnosed with metastatic cancer (see testimonial section).
Garden of LifeTM believes RM-10 will create a new standard in
immune system supplementation.
Why take RM-10?
Medicinal mushrooms have been used
traditionally for thousands of years and are now being validated
by modern science for their remarkable healing potential.
Mushrooms and their extracts have been the subject of hundreds of
scientific studies which conclusively indicate their tremendous
therapeutic value. According to these studies, medicinal mushrooms
and their extracts:
May have powerful immunomodulatory activity and enhance immune
system function*
May have potent anti-tumor activity and
inhibit the growth of existing tumors*
May help lower
cholesterol and can prevent and treat cardiovascular disease*
May have anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties*
May
protect against harmful effects of radiation*
May have
applications in treating viral diseases such as AIDS*
What's in RM-10?
Ganoderma lucidum
(Reishi): Appearing in ancient Chinese herb texts more
than 1500 years ago, this unique herb was considered to be the
"mushroom of immortality" and the "great protector". Reishi
appears to greatly aid in the immune system and have a strong
effect against tumors and cancer. A potential treatment for
arthritis, it has been further shown to increase the
cardiovascular system and has been found to prevent and treat
hardening of the arteries, angina, and shortness of breath
associated with coronary heart disease.
Cordyceps sinensis: Commonly used for
impotence and fertility, Cordyceps sinensis greatly improves
immune system function and strengthens the body's resistance to
bacteria and viruses. It has further been used in China as a tonic
for the lungs and kidneys to relieve excessive fatigue, anemia,
and depression.
Coriolus
versicolor: It is considered to be a very powerful
anti-bacterial, anti-oxidant, anti-tumor agent, and immune
enhancer. Coriolus versicolor has been helpful in treating and
decreasing the recurrence of gastric cancer and significantly
inhibits the growth of leukemia cells.
Lentinula edodes (Shiitake): Extracts
from this mushroom have been shown to be effective against Type 1
Herpes Simplex virus as well as depressed immune system function,
cancer, AIDS, environmental allergies, candida infections, and
frequent colds and flu. Shiitake has been used in the Orient for
prevention of high blood pressure, controlling cholesterol levels,
and is a potent kidney and liver tonic.
Agaricus blazei: Has amazing immune
enhancing effects on the body as well as anti-tumor, anti-viral,
and blood sugar lowering properties. It also helps to form the
enzyme tyrosinase which is used in the body to synthesize the
protein melanin; Melanin gives color to the skin and is a vital
component of skin and semen.
Grifola
frondosa (Maitake): In Japan, the Maitake mushroom is
called the "king of the mushrooms", and many researchers believe
that it has anti-tumor effects. In the feudal era of Japan,
Maitake was exchanged for its weight in silver by local lords who
in turn offered it to the Shogun. Maitake can be used on a daily
basis to promote healthy metabolic function and maintain vibrant
immunity.
Hericium
erinaceus: Commonly prescribed in traditional Chinese
medicine for stomach ailments and for prevention of GI tract
cancer. Hericium erinaceus has also been shown effective as an
immune enhancer, nerve tonic and it aids in respiratory system
function.
Poria cocos: This
herb is valued because it is easy to assimilate, helps the body
shed surplus fluid, and aids in digestion. It is further used to
strengthen the spleen and stomach, eliminate phlegm, calm the
heart, and lower blood sugar levels.
Tremella fuciformus: A highly prized
health food that is commonly cooked in soups to strengthen the
lungs, restore physical vitality, improve mental acuity, and
replenish body fluids. It is recommended in China to assist in
weakness after child birth, constipation, abnormal menstruation,
gastritis, and reduce fever.
Polyporus
umbellatus: In a Chinese clinical study of 146
patients, Polyporus umbellatus was used to reduce the recurrence
of bladder cancer by nearly 50%. It has been very useful in the
treatment of urinary tract infections and may limit leukemia cell
proliferation. It is also a potent anti-bacterial, anti-oxidant,
immune enhancer, and assists with lung and respiratory function.
Aloe Vera: Aloe Vera has
been used by nearly every civilization dating back some 6,500
years to the Egyptians. Aloe helps to reduce inflammation
involving internal or external effects as well as regulate blood
sugar levels. It is a powerful antioxidant, contains
anti-bacterial, anti-viral nutrients, and supports the immune
system.
Uncaria tomentosa:
Herbal practitioners around the world have used Uncaria tomentosa
to treat a variety of conditions including arthritis, AIDS,
allergies, dermatological problems, ulcers, colitis, irritable
bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, and conditions involving chronic
inflammation. It further helps lower blood pressure, reduces
inflammation, and prevents the spread of tumors and viral
infection.
The Poten-Zyme Process
The nutrient dense herbal
combination in RM-10 is pre-digested using the proprietary
Poten-Zyme process (Poten-tiation by Enzym-atic activation). This
proprietary process is an exclusive natural process of
lacto-fermentation and enzymatic predigestion using 14 strains of
beneficial microorganisms within a matrix of carefully selected
whole foods. The bioavailability and absorption of nutrients using
this unique process may be increased 2-5 times. Many people have a
difficult time obtaining nourishment from certain foods and herbs.
The Poten-Zyme process solves this problem. The Poten-Zyme process
creates and liberates valuable compounds within the herbs,
including enzymes, antioxidants, beta glucans, phytosterols, and
many others.
The UltraZorbe Caplet Delivery System
The UltraZorbe
caplet delivery system (Ultra-absorption) is a revolutionary
technology whereby all nutrients and ingredients in RM-10 retain
their maximum nutritive content, viability, and "live" food and
herbal properties. The UltraZorbe caplet delivery system
accomplishes this without the use of heat, animal products,
traditional binders, fillers, or excipients. UltraZorbe caplets
are designed to provide rapid disintegration and dissolution, and
thus deliver the desired nutrients in the most efficient and
effective time frame possible.
Testimonial
"Two years ago, I was diagnosed with
cancer. The visible tumors were surgically removed and I underwent
no further conventional treatment. My grandson (Jordan Rubin)
formulated a special blend of herbs and probiotics for me to take
(RM-10). He told me that if I took this blend my immune system and
digestion should significantly improve. Whatever it was he gave
me, boy did it work! I have been using RM-10 for about 18 months.
I've never felt better in my life. I experience more energy than I
ever remember having. I have a general feeling of well being that
I have never experienced. As a side note, I have been constipated
all of my adult life. I have always required the use of laxatives,
which didn't always help. After a few months on the RM-10 I've
eliminated the use of my laxatives and have almost perfect
elimination. According to my last check up, I am cancer-free."
