astragalus (huang qi) in traditional chinese medicine: the root of vitality and immunity
INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS ASTRAGALUS (HUANG QI)?
Astragalus, also known as Huang Qi in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is a powerful herb that has been used for thousands of years to enhance vitality, immune function, and overall health. Its name, meaning “yellow leader,” refers to both its golden color and its esteemed place among herbal tonics. Astragalus is known to help fortify the immune system, boost energy levels, and support the body’s natural defenses.
ASTRAGALUS IN TCM: A HOLISTIC HEALER
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Huang Qi is classified as a “tonic herb,” meaning it helps restore balance and vitality to the body. It’s known for its ability to strengthen Qi (the vital life energy), particularly in the lungs and spleen, making it a go-to herb for anyone recovering from illness or seeking better resistance against infections and fatigue.
ASTRAGALUS IN TCM: ENERGETIC PROPERTIES
THE ENERGETIC QUALITIES OF ASTRAGALUS
Astragalus has a sweet taste and is considered slightly warm in TCM. Its warmth makes it ideal for people suffering from coldness, weak digestion, or fatigue. Huang Qi helps nourish Qi (the body’s life force), fortify Wei Qi (defensive energy), and strengthen the body’s resistance to external pathogens.
THE CHANNELS AND MERIDIANS IT AFFECTS
Astragalus works primarily on the lungs and spleen meridians. The spleen is responsible for producing Qi from food, while the lungs regulate Qi throughout the body, particularly immune defenses. By enhancing these systems, Astragalus helps improve overall energy and immunity.
HOW ASTRAGALUS WORKS IN TCM: ITS MULTIFACETED BENEFITS
BOOSTING QI AND VITALITY
Astragalus is renowned for its ability to boost Qi—vital life energy. For individuals experiencing chronic fatigue or weakness, Astragalus is considered a powerful remedy. It’s often recommended for people recovering from illness or long-term exhaustion. Astragalus increases energy levels by stimulating the spleen and lungs, promoting better digestion and oxygen distribution throughout the body.
ENHANCING IMMUNE FUNCTION
One of the most prominent benefits of Astragalus is its ability to enhance immune function. It strengthens Wei Qi, which acts as a protective barrier against external pathogens like viruses and bacteria. This makes Astragalus an excellent tonic during cold and flu seasons, or for anyone looking to boost their immunity naturally.
SUPPORTING CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME
Astragalus is also widely used to combat chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). In TCM, Chronic-Fatigue-Syndrome is often seen as a result of deficient Qi, and Astragalus helps restore this vital energy. By improving the energy flow and stimulating the immune system, Astragalus helps people recover from extreme tiredness and weak immunity.
MODERN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH ON ASTRAGALUS
IMMUNE SYSTEM SUPPORT: WHAT RESEARCH SHOWS
Modern studies confirm what traditional practitioners have long known: Astragalus boosts the immune system. A study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology in 2012 found that Astragalus enhances the activity of macrophages, which are key cells in the immune system responsible for attacking pathogens. Additionally, Astragalus promotes the production of interferons, proteins that help cells fight off viral infections.
ASTRAGALUS’ ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AND ANTIOXIDANT EFFECTS
Research has shown that Astragalus possesses significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It’s known to reduce inflammation, which is at the heart of many chronic diseases. A study from the Journal of Clinical Immunology (2013) highlighted its ability to suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines, thereby reducing inflammation and oxidative stress that contribute to conditions like Arthritis and asthma.
ASTRAGALUS AND CANCER: A PROMISING ALLY
Astragalus has also shown potential in cancer treatment. In vitro studies have demonstrated that certain compounds in Astragalus, particularly polysaccharides, have the ability to inhibit tumor growth and promote cancer cell apoptosis (programmed cell death). These findings suggest that Astragalus could serve as a complementary treatment for individuals undergoing chemotherapy, although further studies are needed to confirm its effectiveness.
ASTRAGALUS IN AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE TREATMENT
Astragalus is also being investigated for its potential to modulate the immune system in autoimmune diseases. A study published in Autoimmunity Reviews (2014) found that Astragalus may help regulate the immune response in conditions like Rheumatoid Arthritis and lupus. However, caution is needed, as Astragalus may stimulate the immune system, which could worsen symptoms in some autoimmune conditions.
INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT ASTRAGALUS
THE “EMPEROR’S HERB”
Astragalus was known as the “emperor’s herb” in ancient China. It was considered a powerful tonic for warriors and rulers, helping them maintain energy, increase longevity, and recover quickly from injuries and illnesses.
A KEY INGREDIENT IN ANCIENT TCM FORMULAS
Astragalus is a key ingredient in many traditional TCM formulas. For example, Yu Ping Feng San, a famous TCM remedy, uses Astragalus to boost immunity and protect against external pathogens. This formula is especially helpful during flu season or for people who suffer from frequent colds.

Topical Vitamin C Stops Basal Cell Carcinoma
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Orthomolecular Medicine News Service, November 9, 2007
The most common form of skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma, often responds to a remarkably simple, safe, at-home treatment: vitamin C. Physicians and patients report that vitamin C, applied directly to basal cell skin cancers, causes them to scab over and drop off. [1] Successful use involves a highly-concentrated vitamin C solution, directly applied to the blemish two or three times a day. Vitamin C is selectively toxic to cancer cells, but does not harm healthy skin cells. This is also the basis for high-dose intravenous vitamin therapy for cancer. [2] Even higher concentrations of vitamin C can be obtained by direct application. The use of topical vitamin C to kill basal cell carcinoma has been known at least since 1971. Frederick R. Klenner, MD, wrote: "We have removed several small basal cell epithelioma with a 30 percent ointment" of vitamin C. [3]
One person, who reported that a 2mm diameter spot on the nose would not heal for months, had it disappear within a week with twice-daily concentrated vitamin C applications. Another patient reported that after dermatologist-diagnosed multiple spots of basal cell carcinoma were coated with vitamin C, the spots fell off within two weeks. [4]
Basal cell carcinomas are slow growing and it is rare for them to metastasize. This provides an opportunity for a therapeutic trial of vitamin C, provided one has proper medical diagnosis and follow-up.
Preparation of a water-saturated vitamin C solution is simple. Slowly add a small amount of water to about half a teaspoon of vitamin C powder or crystals. Use just enough water to dissolve the vitamin C. Using less water will make a paste. Either way, application with the fingertip or a cotton swab, several times daily, is easy. The water will evaporate in a few minutes and leave a plainly visible coat of vitamin C crystals on the skin.
Consult your doctor before employing this or any other self-care treatment. A physician’s diagnosis is especially important, since other forms of skin cancer, such as melanoma, are faster growing and more dangerous. If the vitamin C treated area is not improved after a few weeks, a doctor should be consulted once again.

Notably Royal Jelly has all the B Vitamins from flower source and another dense food, Chaga Mushroom is considered extremely anti-cancer and "Both" are famous as Luxury foods for the face skin.
"strange" how so much history exist with the use of chemical vitamin C for cancers internally and externally-- vitamin c (acid) made from corn makes all foods, bad.
With all cancers, some cancer books believed cancer starts in the liver first, because it can be detected anywhere else..
The boss's where I worked, died of horrible skin cancers and they finally discovered it was caused by the florescent lights above their desk..D_____ Christopher son of Dr. John C. of S_____ of Natural Healing Fame---25 years ago was covered in skin cancer---5 years later it was from his feet to his forehead-----exactly like all my boss's experienced and sure enough---the school of natural healing which is a room above the herb store----all have florescent lights and above his desk---was a low hanging light--the same light his dad experienced.....and to make matters worse---on top of the same building, maybe 15 feet to the roof top---sets a Cell Phone "repeater"----and wild enough, when I explained that to him---he was too far "gone" to comprehend and I know 5 years later when it had moved to his feet----the exact same lights were there---proving he was too ate up to comprehend.
The light does not cause the skin cancer--it is the cheap little "starter" that enables the light to work...the frequencies caused deadly skin cancer..that often covers most of the body over a 20 year period.
With every disease, every cancer---the only true treatment is the entire body. Treating what hurts is great, but the full cure, if a healthier body...empowered blood...healthy blood.

“I have seen personally in the ER:
- A 16 year old who was shot in the face during a robbery gone wrong. She died. Unfortunately, we were not able to save her. Her injury was unsurvivable. That was due to illegal immigrants, the gang activity going on at the apartment complex that she lived

- I have seen assault victims of things that felt with rape
- I have seen assault victims from just illegal activity.
- I have seen people dropped off by their friends in our ambulance bay due to fentanyl overdoses
- I have seen so many car accidents. I can't even count how many. It's like at least one a day if not more because these people come to our country and they don't know our laws, just basic laws like driving laws. Then they get in a wreck.
Oh, and guess what? Aurora PD is so severely understaffed. When you get into a wreck here in Colorado, they don't even immediately respond. Almost always, the wreck happens, EMS gets there, they take the patients who need to be transported to the hospital to the hospital. we care for them and then a couple hours later a couple accident investigation officers and sometimes the patrol officers show up
- I had a patient the other day that had severe trauma and a liver lack. She was bleeding internally (This was from being hit by an illegal, it was a vehicle with license plates from Chihuahua, Mexico)
- A 15 year old kid got jumped by a gang of illegal, he now has severe facial fractures It doesn’t end there, she explains more and more things she’s seen all through Colorado.
This is the cost of Democrats illegal immigration

A Holistic Approach to COVID-19 in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
Herbal Medicine, Acupressure, and Qigong in the Fight Against the Virus and Its Complications
The COVID-19 pandemic turned our lives upside down, affecting both physical and mental health. In addition to conventional treatments, many people have turned to alternative methods of supporting their health, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This ancient practice offers a comprehensive approach to health, encompassing herbal medicine, acupressure, and Qigong exercises. Moreover, TCM also provides treatments for COVID-19 complications, such as "Long COVID."
In this article, we will discuss how TCM can support the treatment of viral infections, strengthen the body, and reduce the side effects of COVID-19.
What is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)?
Traditional Chinese Medicine is a medical system with over 3,000 years of history. It is based on the concept of Qi (vital energy), whose flow in the body must be harmonious. In TCM, diseases are interpreted as the result of disturbances in the flow of Qi, often caused by "external pathogens" (e.g., cold, dampness, heat).
COVID-19 in TCM is classified as a disease related to "heat and dampness," attacking the lungs. Treatment focuses on strengthening immunity, eliminating toxins, and supporting the body's regeneration after infection.

Major advance in generating electricity from wastewater
Major Advance in Generating Electricity From Wastewater
January 24, 2013 |
Aaron Jackson, Guest Writer
Waking Times
Engineers at Oregon State University have made a breakthrough in the performance of microbial fuel cells that can produce electricity directly from wastewater, opening the door to a future in which waste treatment plants not only will power themselves, but will sell excess electricity.
The new technology developed at OSU uses new concepts — reduced anode-cathode spacing, evolved microbes and new separator materials — and can produce more than two kilowatts per cubic meter of liquid reactor volume — 10 to 50 more times the electrical per unit volume than most other approaches using microbial fuel cells, and 100 times more electricity than some.
This technology cleans sewage by a very different approach than the aerobic bacteria used in the past. Bacteria oxidize the organic matter and, in the process, produce electrons that run from the anode to the cathode within the fuel cell, creating an electrical current.
Almost any type of organic waste material can be used to produce electricity — not only wastewater, but also grass straw, animal waste, and byproducts from such operations as the wine, beer or dairy industries.
The researchers say this could eventually change the way that wastewater is treated all over the world, replacing the widely used “activated sludge” process that has been in use for almost a century. The new approach would produce significant amounts of electricity while effectively cleaning the wastewater, they suggest.
“If this technology works on a commercial scale, the way we believe it will, the treatment of wastewater could be a huge energy producer, not a huge energy cost,” said Hong Liu, an associate professor in the OSU Department of Biological and Ecological Engineering. “This could have an impact around the world, save a great deal of money, provide better water treatment and promote energy sustainability.”
Experts estimate that about 3 percent of the electrical energy consumed in the United States and other developed countries is used to treat wastewater, and a majority of that electricity is produced by fossil fuels.
The system also works better than an alternative approach to creating electricity from wastewater that is based on anaerobic digestion that produces methane. It treats the wastewater more effectively, and doesn’t have any of the environmental drawbacks of that technology, such as production of unwanted hydrogen sulfide or possible release of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, the researchers believe.
The OSU system has now been proven at a substantial scale in the laboratory, Liu said, and the next step would be a pilot study. A good candidate, she said, might initially be a food processing plant, which is a contained system that produces a steady supply of certain types of wastewater that would provide significant amounts of electricity.
Once advances are made to reduce high initial costs, researchers estimate that the capital construction costs of this new technology should be comparable to that of the activated sludge systems now in widespread use today — and even less expensive when future sales of excess electricity are factored in.
The approach may also have special value in developing nations, where access to electricity is limited and sewage treatment at remote sites is difficult or impossible as a result.
The ability of microbes to produce electricity has been known for decades, but only recently have technological advances made their production of electricity high enough to be of commercial use. OSU researchers reported several years ago on the promise of this technology, but at that time the systems in use produced far less electrical power. Continued research should also find even more optimal use of necessary microbes, reduced material costs and improved function of the technology at commercial scales, OSU scientists said.

Middle class living in cars
Credit crunch forcing US middle classes to live in their cars
* Dan Glaister in Los Angeles
* The Guardian,
* Thursday June 26, 2008
* Article history
Homeless people living in cars and motorhomes across the US are being joined by a new breed: the middle class.
As mortgage foreclosures continue to rise, growing numbers of middle-class professionals are losing their homes and downsizing from four bedrooms to four wheels.
With numbers rising, New Beginnings, a homeless agency in Santa Barbara, California, has launched a safe parking scheme, whose aim is to provide a refuge of sorts for those who have nowhere to go other than their vehicle.
Guy Trevor lost his job as an interior designer when the sector contracted thanks to the foreclosure crisis. With his furniture sold and his belongings in storage, he now lives in his car, spending the nights in one of the 12 gated car parks in Santa Barbara run by New Beginnings.
"I see myself as a casualty of a perfect storm," he said. "The people sleeping at the [car parks] are ... just like me. They come from normal, everyday homes. I think a lot of people in this country don't realise that they, too, are a couple of pay cheques away from destitution."
In normally affluent Santa Barbara there were 150 foreclosures last month, with a total of 800 for the year ending in May, according to the county assessor's office, which assesses property for tax purposes.
Each month, an auction of foreclosed properties is held on the steps of the Santa Barbara courthouse.
"The way the economy is going, it's amazing the people who are becoming homeless. It's hit the middle class," Nancy Kapp, of New Beginnings, told CNN.
Another of Kapp's clients, Barbara Harvey, 67, also lost her job and subsequently her home thanks to the foreclosure crisis. As with Trevor, her job as a loans processor was connected to the housing market.
Harvey now lives with her three dogs in her car, parking at night in a women-only car park run by the agency. "I didn't think this would happen to me," she said. "It's just something that I don't think that people think is going to happen to them."
The rise in the number of homeless people sleeping in cars has led to a clampdown in Los Angeles. In common with many US cities, it is illegal to live in vehicles on public streets. This year the city banned almost all overnight parking on residential streets. A first violation receives a $50 (£25) fine, while subsequent offences carry fines of up to $100.
"For more working class and lower middle class people, the car is the first stop of being homeless, and sometimes it turns out to be a long stop," Gary Blasi, a University of California, Los Angeles, law professor and homelessness activist told the Associated Press.
The city has the highest number of homeless people in the US, with an estimated 73,000 living rough. A survey last year of more than 3,000 of them showed that 250 were sleeping in their cars.

I think this shows how valuable a good relationship with an extended family can be. I can think of many relatives who would take me in rather than let me live in my car. We keep in touch with 2nd and 3rd cousins and even more distant relatives, which I understand is somewhat unusual these days.
Of course, some people have very small families. And some might just not have the $$ to drive across the country to their families, or they would. -

This is a reply to # 1,203,235Hello New World Order: rich elite, poor servants & no middle class
Welcome to the New World Order - where the goal is to create a small upper class of the elite serviced by a large servant class of poor, with the middle class virtually eliminated.
As we continue to finance a war to make Iraq safe for big oil (and one has only to look at the numbers on the gas pumps and at the record prices in the financial news to see how much concern big oil has for our fate) and print new money to prop up the economy with stimulus packages we cannot afford, and while we bail out the loan sharks with money the government does not have, the dollar and our standard of living can only suffer. And it will only get much, much worse when the tab finally, inevitably comes due.
Someday we will have to pay that price for our economic sins by lowering our standards of living as our real money is siphoned off to our creditors - China and the international bankers. And then comes the next blows along the wonderful road to a New World Order. And, at every step along the way, the middle class shrinks and the poor, servant class grows.
The next blow, as planned, is the formation of the North American Union (which is proceeding apace inspite of the wishes of our citizens) - where the standards of living of Canada, the United States and Mexico will reach an equilibrium, resulting in a huge downward adjustment to our real incomes and standards of living. What remains of the middle class will likely be mostly the remnants present upper middle class and a great portion of the lower wealthy class who will have a rude awakening when they find out that what their place will ultimately be in the New World Order.
After the North American Union and other planned world unions are formed, if all goes according to plan, it will not take long for everyone to find their place in where the new reality of economics and power of the world is headed - because the final blow will soon come when, just as has been planned and executed right under our noses, various world unions are joined under one ruling body. For what will probably be more than 98% of the world's population, freedoms and money will be few and far between.
Folks, this has been coming for a long, long time. It has been tried and thwarted before, but this time all the right pieces appear to be in all the right places - and one of the biggest pieces of all is the lethargy and ignorance of the American middle class, even as that class dries up around their economic necks.

Bush is trying to impose a classic colonial status on Iraq
Today June 27, 2008, 3 hours ago
When Alan Greenspan, former chairman of the US Federal Reserve, wrote last autumn, "Everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil," he was treated as if he were some senile old gent who'd embarrassingly lost the plot.That argument is going to be a good deal harder to make from next week, when four of the western world's largest oil corporations are due to sign contracts for the renewed exploitation of Iraq's vast reserves

Re: Hello New World Order: rich elite, poor servants & no middle class
Four of the western world's largest oil corporations signing contracts for the renewed exploitation of Iraq's vast reserves along with those wonderful photos you posted of the oil pipeline running to and through Israel and protected by our military bases tell us all we need to know about why American soldiers lives and our economy has been sacrificed: Making the Middle East safe for Big Oil and Halliburton and giving Israel control over a huge oil pipeline.
Hey - could you post the link to those photos again?

"And, at every step along the way, the middle class shrinks and the poor, servant class grows."
This "middle class" will include the pseudo rich... those that appear to have money, but who in reality, have far more liabilities than assets.
Check out any bankruptcy court. Outside of those who are there due to a medically induced bankruptcy (pharmedico taking it all), are ALL, at least in my experience, those who put on the show without the dough.
In addition, I believe that upper middle class individuals, who have been in the know about this whole mess, have eliminated debt, while increasing their self sufficiency (edible landscaping; perhaps a bit of livestock), have bartering skills AND a decent stash of real currency (gold\silver?) will possibly weather the storm... and may just survive.
That is assuming the "man" does not come in and confiscate it all... a real possibility if things get nasty.

When and if the ultimate whip comes down, the ruling elite will be but a mere comparative handful. They and their most valued members may number no more than 20,000 or so worldwide. The next level of privilege will be the new middle class - the managers and overseers who make sure that the luxuries and industries of the ruling elite are taken care of. The remaining, greatly reduced population of the world will be the servant class of workers. Communism and socialism have always been the models and Communist China has been THE model.
The clearly stated plans and goals of the New World Order are to have a total world population of about 500 million, which would be a 90 plus percent reduction in the current population level. The main questions would appear to be how are they to achieve such a huge population reduction as well as achieve the "dumbing down" and willingness of the masses to enable the population reduction and insure obedient servility by those who remain?
Forced vaccinations and forced participation by the masses into mainstream medicine and the drug labs of the World Pharma industry come to mind (and make no mistake, those who own World Pharma are part of the planned elite). Perhaps even moreso, the answer may be found by simply looking up - looking past the cameras we see at every intersection and into the sky. Aren't all those plane trails a beautiful site?
Perhaps some of us will be able to escape to the hills and wilds and remain more or less free, at least for awhile - but don't count on it. Individual freedom is not part of the plan. Nevertheless, if you are able to effect such a lifestyle you should. Gold and silver are likely good ideas too, though food and water will be far more precious mediums of trade, if you can hang on to them.
The best idea of all is to wake up and return our government to the ideals of the founders. America is the last great obstacle to the plans of world domination. If only we are not already too lulled to sleep to ever awaken again as a sleeping giant . . . and I fear that the clock is nearing the 11th hour.

This is a reply to # 1,203,235just because somebody will loan you more than u can afford
doesn't mean you should borrow it.The world will always have people who don't have any fiscal sense and will borrow and spend every penny they can.One of them is my best friend.I love him to death,but i will not help him with his financial problems. "W" bankrupted us with this war and only strenghtened the iranians, the worst of them, but obama will drive investment capitol offshore and raising my taxes to support and bail out these people who bought homes they couldn't afford, which i was smart enough not to do.i learned these financial lessons as a child when my mom forced me to live with the consequences of my actions, instead of bailing me out like i see most parents do today.i probably love her for that more than all my other reasons.love without disipline is not really love. -

This is a reply to # 1,203,235Re: Middle class cannot pay for kids education either...
As long as one has income and a home, they take out your lungs if necessary but nothing is available to the people that work for a living.
I am gainfully employed and financially destitute by education expenses. While qualifying for NOTHING for educating my children - ONE AT A TIME. Had to have one of them stay out for 4 years while one finished, then trying to finish the second one now. That is with both the children and me working as well, and both the children taking loans and paying as well as we go along. Plus - gettting out with a debt that will last for ten years afterwards. How will this kid start up?
No housing allowance, all at our expense, no grants, and this is for only a basic college education - not law or medicine or engineering.
People in Sweden, go to university and even get expenses paid as well as medical not need to even work while they attend, all included in their innate rights.
Meanwhile, whenever we receive phone calls about our assorted bills, or IT support it is coming from another country, while so many of our own IT people and manufacturing plant employees have lost their jobs and have few options.
Wouldn't it make sense to have "customer service centers" manned by people that instead of pay will get funding for their kid's school? Or get mortgage reductions? or bill pay assistance until they find a job?
My young son and his wife may lose their house because they have one of THOSE mortgages, and now cannot qualify for refinance. Both working, both willing and with good credit, but they do not QUALIFY according to their new ridiculous specifications because their house went down in price as per new 'rules'.
It is sad to have to mortgage one's life and sanity to try to accomplish what is part of inherent rights in other places. Are we not as ingenious to create such a system?
Bah humbug, thanks for listening - just feeling raw today, and this thread touched my heart. I feel that much like "The Matrix" - the world has been hooked up to America - just suck everything out of the middle class. The best working mules.
Sad....:(
