Principle 1: Nourish, Balance, and Cleanse

Dr. Chen's Message continued:

1. Nourish, balance, and cleanse: We want to nourish and cleanse
the body so it reaches an optimal balance. Yin (nourish) and yang
(cleanse) is how life functions, like breathing in and breathing out.
Consider five horses pulling a cart. The five horses represent the
body’s five major systems; the body is the cart. The cart, or your body,
runs smoothly only when the five horses run in harmony, in balance.
One horse, or system, running too fast or too slow will tip the balance
of the cart. Balance is the guiding principle.

Chinese history is 5,000 years old. We have had many kings, but few lived more than 50 years old despite the base health care and the best doctors. Although the kings' doctors also used herbs, their philosophy was different. The doctors would try to make the king stronger and more energetic by giving them tonics or ginseng. This made one system too strong so the kings' bodies were out of balance, and it killed them.

It's important to have the right combination of variety. The Philosophy of Regeneration TM is the blueprint for our formulas.
