Description

Background of the Invention

The homeopathic medical literature is replete with formulae for curatives and palliatives for every imaginable injury and disease. Over the ages, the widespread adoption and usage of myriad herbal based medicines, salves, potions and tonics have been prescribed by healthcare professionals, nutritionists, and others in many cultures, often with highly beneficial results. The present invention is directed to a composition of natural and herbal products which may be compounded in dry form into a mixture which is readily soluble in a fluid for ingestion by humans. Specifically, the new mixture, when digested, has provided users of the same with an energy boost and associated feelings of well being when the mixture is taken as part of a regular regimen to supplement normal nutritional intakes and to supplement any therapeutic processes to which the users may be subject.

While no therapeutic claims are made in this patent application for the mixture of the present invention, it has been observed that the usage of the mixture of the invention has had beneficial palliative effects on certain terminal cancer patients for whom the mixture has been prescribed as a supplement to traditional chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.

The new mixture of the present invention is compounded in dry form for dissolving in a fluid such as water or fruit juice and, most advantageously, tomato juice before usage. The mixture of the invention, which has been found to be palliative, includes a combination of specific algae powders with a series of specific green grass juice powders along with a series of Chinese herbs and western herbs, further combined with mushroom powder and a specific series of oils, seed extracts, fibers, royal jelly, and bee pollen. This highly esoteric combination, as more specifically described hereinafter, has had unexpected beneficial effects.

Detailed Description of the Present Invention

In accordance with the present invention, a beneficial palliative nutritional drink may be formed by combining approximately 10 to 20 ounces of water, fruit juice, or most advantageously tomato juice with the following mixture of dried natural and herbal ingredients:

The aforementioned dried ingredients are appropriately blended into unit portions which advantageously may be prepackaged into individual envelopes for later usage before they are mixed in the fluid selected for the preparation of the new potion of the present invention.

While a mixture formed from all of the aforementioned ingredients has been determined by initial testing on a series of terminal cancer patients to have beneficial palliative effects on the patients, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that certain qualitative and quantitative variations in the aforementioned formulation of the nutritional base mixture may be made without deleterious effect on the efficacy of the disclosed mixture. Indeed, by reducing the amount of fluid with which the mixture of dried ingredients is mixed, should it be desired, the nutritional powder composition of the present invention may be prepared as a food paste or spread rather than as a potable solution.
