Are Herbs Dangerous?

 I've been told once that my misinformation about training and supplements such as herbs are not only dangerous but could get someone killed. Now granted whomever said this is a full on gym rat and quite frankly hates anything I do and only tries to "help" me so it benefits his ego. With that said, are herbs really that dangerous? Are you in danger of using an herb after an extended period of time and are there any long term effects? Well for starters, just about anything can be considered dangerous. It's not a cop out its a fact. 

Water is essential to life on earth but it also can kill you if you drink too much and get water poisoning. Even the cleanest water on the planet can still do that, should we stop drinking water? Herbs potentially can do the same thing. In the name of science, us humans sacrifice animals. A lot of herbs are being tested for what's called and LD50. What this stands for is Lethal Dose 50 as in what will kill off 50% of the test subjects. Now by writing this I mean the acute toxicity rather than the long term issues.  “Dosis sola facit venenum” or “only the dose makes the poison” was said by Paracelsus who was considered the father of toxicology and other credited notions such as Physician, Astrologer & Alchemist. 

It's the idea of understanding the difference between medicine and poison by the amount of the dosage. In the short term, this lies true and can be easily seen yet also lies true in the long term but we can't always see it. Out of the many reasons, one would being that the Western Medical Systems are one of the leading causes of death by iatrogenesis. Is there a reason why many don't trust doctors in the medical field? It's not always the medical errors but scary enough, it's the long-term side effects which don't always contribute to one thing. Other deaths have been swept under the rug as they say because a lot of people dare to question this stuff would be considered conspiracy theorists. We notice this in Pharmaceuticals as well.

Now the dose by medicine or poison is still considered true for herbs just by a lesser degree. Many of the herbs at Lost Empire are safe if you look at the research from a long term stand point. Herbs such as Reishi or Chaga are known to be very gentle on the body. Logan Christopher himself will take them just about everyday and even give them to his near 5 year old daughter. I've witnessed first hand how healthy that little girl is and it boggles my mind how energetic, smart and full of life she is. In the Daoist Philosophy, there are three distinctive classes of herbs. Superior herbs which is possible to take everyday and support enormous health. That's one of the main focuses at Lost Empire by using the motto of Do No Harm.

With superior there is also inferior herbs which are more medicinal in which they treat specific conditions. There is a class between the two such for example: Foxglove can be very useful in treating those in cases with heart failure or atrial arrhythmia but also has been known to be dangerous for those who don't have those conditions. 

There are some herbs that are not intended for the long haul. Depends on who you talk to really. Horny Goat Weed for example is one of those herbs not intended for long term use. Certain herbs that are gentle like Shilajit which is one of the best anti-aging herbs around and has great properties and benefits, shouldn't be taken with those who suffer gout. 

Make good decisions for yourself in how you apply the herbs and what they can benefit you. Are all herbs created equal? You've been reading what can be used everyday and what could be useful short term haven't you? For those playing the home game, no not all created equal and some herbs aren't meant for everyone due to certain conditions or how the organs take in certain herbs but for the most part in my own experiences, work very well and have done a great job in helping my performance, my mental clarity and energy levels. Hell for a period I was using Thor's Hammer on days of my Sprint Training days and I felt great. 

We all take a risk at what we buy but I can assure you, I wouldn't put this up if I didn't believe in Lost Empire and what they do. There's tons of research and shows you what the ingredients are and the do's and don'ts of how to use them. Be safe, take quality herbs and live in Amazingly Awesome health.

What Big Pharma Doesn’t Want You To Think About

We’re bombarded with their messages every day.


Their ads are filling our airwaves as we have the TV blaring at home.


They make it seem so normal. Like every person needs some concoction of artificial ingredients and frightening drugs that someone cooked up and put into a capsule.


So, you’re hanging out on the couch, watching your favorite TV show. You’re glad to finally be able to relax after another long day at work.


Then they cut to a break, and of course….the commercials come on. A routine you’re all too familiar with.


Images fill your screen of an attractive, yet detached woman sitting by herself - directing her melancholy gaze out the window.


You can’t help but watch, and you start to empathize with her.


I mean, we all feel like that sometimes, right? Detached and melancholy.


Then….the story shifts as they introduce the clever name of some new pharmaceutical.


The screen now shows images of the same woman strolling down the sidewalk with a smile on her face. Now she’s holding hands with her good-looking husband and adorable kid. They all look SO happy.


This could be you, right? This could be just what you need to feel alive again.


You start to wonder….


“Do I need this drug too? Is this what my life’s missing?”


...then the “fast-talking disclaimer voice” comes on and tells you that if you take this drug you might have side effects of “weight gain, diarrhea and vomiting, depression, thoughts of suicide, hypertension, high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke or even death”.


The list goes on forever.


If you’re anything like me, this is the point where you snap back to reality, and start to question how a drug with that many frightening side effects could possibly be the answer.


Yet, with all the advertising these drugs are more popular than ever!


Of course, some people need a few of these drugs, but most of them just mask problems instead of cure them.


Some of them are even designed to keep you sick.


As overdoses from all kinds of prescription drugs become one of the most tragic epidemics we’ve faced as a nation, you have to wonder why these toxic substances are so prevalent in our society.


It’s become clear that if we want real control of our health…


...we need to stop relying on Big Pharma’s expensive and dangerous concoctions that are designed to only mask our problems - and keep our bodies addicted and anxious for the next dose.


What we really need are natural solutions that actually support our bodies to work the way they were beautifully designed to.


I started looking into it - there must be a place where people live long, healthy lives without relying on medication.


As I got more and more curious, I started looking into Eastern and South America medicine. I really wanted to figure it out!What are they doing in other countries that we aren’t doing here?


It was obvious, they had some secret I didn’t know. That secret was leading to happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives, almost totally free of pharmaceuticals.


That’s why I was so relieved and grateful when I found Lost Empire Herbs.
