SIMBA* - african potato tuber
It's all about BALANCE.
SIMBA™ (
Hypoxis Hemerocallidea
)
can be used to treat both an
under-active
and an
over-active immune system
, because it helps to
restore normal immune function
. It also acts as a potent
natural anti-inflammatory
.
The immune system is very complex and is connected to so many other body systems. Even our thoughts and feelings affect immunity, which is suppressed by sadness and increased with laughter.
Too little immunity leads to colds and flu, our undefended body an open invitation to passing infections and diseases. But then, an overactive system creates its own devastation, becoming confused and attacking the body it is supposed to protect.
This can result in
psoriasis
,
rheumatoid arthritis
,
MS
,
lupus
,
chronic fatigue syndrome
and many other
'auto-immune'
disorders.
How do I know if my immune system is disfunctional?
-
Frequent colds and flu
-
Cold sore (herpes) outbreaks
-
Allergies
-
Continual fatigue
-
Candida
-
Painful joints and muscles
-
Parasite infections
-
Psoriasis and eczema
-
Inflammatory disorders
The wonderful thing about the
African Potato Tuber
is that it
balances
the immune system
and keeps it regulated. It is an African root, much like a potato or a turnip plant. Inedible as a vegetable, it has been used traditionally in Africa to keep away colds and fight infections. It is currently being used to treat AIDS patients, whose immunity is severely compromised.
The
African Potato
works because it is a
very rich source of plant sterols and sterolins
- 'plant fats' found in all plants, though modern processing and pesticides reduce their levels. These plant fats ensure that cells function optimally when dealing with infection and are also potent anti-inflammatory agents.
We have called our African Potato Tuber '
SIMBA™
'
, the African Shona word for 'strength'. To us, that is what
SIMBA™
is.
And remember,
perseverance
is key with
SIMBA™
as it generally takes
6 - 8 weeks
for your body to begin to feel the benefits.
We recommend a minimum 6 month course of SIMBA™ if you are treating the conditions listed below:
…To improve immunity against viruses and infections
…For immune/auto-immune disorders
· Psoriasis
· Lupus
· Multiple Schlerosis
· Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME)
· Rheumatoid Arthritis
…For inflammatory conditions
· Osteo Arthritis
· Fibromyalgia
…To help prevent prostate problems
…To lower cholesterol
…For allergies
…For general wellbeing, particularly during winter months
How to take it
· Take one capsule three times a day on an empty stomach (up to 30 minutes before a meal or 2 hours after food). This is very important for SIMBA™ to work effectively and ensure optimum absorption.
· We recommend
perseverance
with SIMBA™ as it generally takes 6 - 8 weeks for your body to begin to feel the benefits, especially for immune system related conditions such as psoriasis, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus and arthritis.
· Suitable for diabetics.
· Do not take SIMBA™ if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have had a bone marrow or solid organ transplant.
· SIMBA™ is not suitable for children under 14 years.
· Suitable for vegetarians as we use 'vegecaps'.
· SIMBA™ is not tested on animals.
. SIMBA™ should not be taken while on anti-coagulants such as heparin and warfarin.
Our vegecaps contain
only
the dried
African Potato tuber
itself, no fillers or binders. Beware of cheaper brands! The presence of other components, especially in tablet form, may interfere in absorption.
