Convenient, high strength (6:1) productSun Herbal has introduced a range of high strength Chinese herbalcapsules to satisfy the growing demand for a convenient product thatwould address specific diseases and conditions commonly encounteredin theWestern clinic.

Developed to address common biomedical conditionsSome of the ChinaMed formulas are adaptations of commonly usedtraditional formulas, with modifications to enhance their clinical efficacy.

Biomedical disease based indicationsAll have been developed with the assistance of several renowned Chinese herbaldoctors, who are leaders in their field, with a lifetime of clinical experience as well asexpertise in the development of prepared herbal products for the domestic market in China.

User friendly product namesAn unique feature of the ChinaMed range is that each formula has been named and labeled so that you are able to see at aglance the major indication for each product.While it is true that one formula may have several uses clinically, we havechosen to name each one according to the most common clinical indication. This is especially appropriate as most of theformulas have been developed to treat a specific condition, such as eczema, IBS or chronic sinusitis.

Manufactured in China from ‘A’ grade herbs to GMP standardsThe ChinaMed capsules are all manufactured in China from ‘A’ grade herbs, according to both Australian and China NationalGMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) standards. The most advanced methods of extracting and concentrating whole herbsare used in the manufacture of ChinaMed capsules to produce a 6:1 final product.

Guaranteed free from aristolochic acidAs with the BLACK PEARL pills, the formulas that make use of the herbs: MuTong (Akebia),Wei Ling Xian (Clematis), and HanFang Ji (Stepahania), are tested before and after manufacture to ensure the absence of contamination with aristolochic acid.

Competitively priced.Two weeks supply per bottle.For the convenience of both practitioner and patient, each bottle contains 78 capsules, which will last 2 weeks at therecommended dosage. You will find that ChinaMed formulas are competitively priced and cost considerably less than astandard 60 capsules bottle.

Herb SelectionOnly high quality Chinese herbs are used in the manufacture of ChinaMed formulas.When the herbs arrive at the factory, thebotanical identity of each ingredient is checked, both by appearance as well as HPLC testing, by a trained Chinese medicalpharmacognosist. Herbs that are of poor quality, as well as substitute herbs are discarded.

ProcessingThe herbs are first cut and then ground, in order to increase the surface area, and thus maximize the extraction process. Theyare then decocted twice in a specific mixture of purified water and alcohol. The volatile oils, which come off more quickly, arecaptured and added back to the formula just prior to drying. The liquid from the first decoction is strained off and the dregsundergo a second decoction before being strained off and discarded. From start to finish, manufacturing takes place instainless steel equipment.

SynergyDecocting the herbs together creates a complex interaction which results in a considerable enhancement of the effects ofthe individual ingredients. This is the ancient, time-tested method. Some companies use a simpler process. They extract eachherb individually, and then combine the powders together.While all of the ingredients are present, they lack the vitalsynergistic benefits.

Yet other companies are even less ethical. They press their herbs into pills or capsules directly from raw powdered herbs.These products are full of inert plant fibers, and contain little of the active components. This results in a product with minimalpotency and medicinal value.

LowTemperature ProcessingThe liquid from the two stage decoction process is mixed together prior to being concentrated and spray dried. This extract isthen vacuum-dried and ground into a fine powder. Final mixing, to ensure that the heavier components are evenly distributed,precedes encapsulation and bottling. During the entire process, the temperature never exceeds 100° centigrade, thuspreserving the delicate chemical actives in each formula. Another unique feature of this process is that it only requires aminimal quantity of excipient – 0.5% or less, soluble maize starch.

Quality ControlDuring manufacture the product undergoes rigorous two-stage testing, both in house as well as externally (by anindependent third party authority), for contamination with bacteria, heavy metal, pesticides and aristolochic acid. Samplesfrom each completed batch are retained for ongoing stability tests. Any batch that does not meet the Australian and Chinesegovernment standards is discarded. The Chinese factories that manufacture our formulas are certified GMP (GoodManufacturing Practices) facilities, licensed and inspected by the Australian Health Department. They are also Chinesegovernment GMP licensed and inspected to meet the standards of the Department of Health of the People’s Republicof China.

Quality Control – addressing the Heavy Metals issueQuality Control – addressing the Heavy Metals issue

We often receive enquiries from practitioners as well aspatients concerning the standards for purity that are followedin the production of the Sun Herbal formulas.

This matter falls under the requirements of the AustralianTherapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) for the regulation ofcomplementary healthcare products. There are standards formaximum allowable levels of toxic (or ‘heavy’) metals,bacteria, molds and fungi, pesticide residues as well asassessment of the risk of transmission of TransmissibleSpongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs, i.e. mad cow disease).These are primarily based on the British Pharmacopoeia (BP)and, in relation to herbal medicines unique to China, on thePharmacopoeia of the People’s Republic of China (PPRC).

The first requirement is that herbal medicines aremanufactured in a factory that complies with the ‘AustralianCode of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for MedicinalProducts’ which is based entirely on the internationalstandard, ‘Guide to Good Manufacturing Practices forMedicinal Products’, published by the PharmaceuticalInspection Cooperation Scheme (PIC/S). Compliance with theAustralian Code of GMP is ascertained by carrying out pre-licensing audits and, thereafter, regular on-site audits ofmanufacturers of medicinal products. This ensures, amongstother things, the accuracy and reliability of the tests andmeasurements that are carried out by the manufacturer.Below are some of the relevant product specifications for theChinaMed capsule formulas.

“Chinese medicine stresses the importance ofa healthy digestive system, for themaintenance of good health as well asrecovery from illness.Two important aspectsof this are body composition and the bowelmicro-flora.

We are all aware of the current obesity epidemic inWesterncountries – particularly the USA and Australia. However,many practitioners are not aware of the less obviousepidemic of dysbiosis – i.e. disruption of the normal balance

of the micro-organisms in the gastro-intestinal tract.

Sun Herbal has made available two premier herbalformulas that have been designed as foundationtreatments for these common disorders.

“He rang me three days later and told me thesneezing had almost completely stopped.”

CM111Xanthium & AstragalusCHRONIC SINUS Formula

TREATMENT PROTOCOLS

A) SIGNS OF ACUTE INFECTION

Early stage conditions need to be treated with highdosage until relief is obtained – generally about 3 to 5days. In many cases, particularly influenza withpronounced fever and general malaise, it is best thatboth formulas be taken together.

A sample protocol would be 4 capsules of Cold & FluFormula (CM133) together with 2 capsules of AntitoxFormula (CM105), every three hours, with 4-5 doses

spread throughout the day. In order to enhance absorption, the capsules should be takenat leaser half an hour away from meals.

Once symptomatic relief has been obtained, the dosage of Cold & Flu Formula (CM133)can be reduced to the standard 3 capsules, twice daily and the Antitox Formula (CM105)discontinued. This is because several of the herbs in this formula provide symptomaticrelief, so the infection may not be completely resolved by the time the patient issymptom free.

B) PREVENTATIVETREATMENT

When there has been close contact with an infected person, the following should betaken as soon as possible, and repeated one or two times within the next 12 hours (e.g.first dose on arriving home at 6:00pm, second dose before bed, third dose first thing thenext morning):

Cold & Flu Formula (CM133): 4 – 6 capsulesplus Antitox Formula (CM105): 2 – 3 capsules

“I have tried almostevery available formulato treat a patient with avery stubborn case ofchronic sinusitis, withpoor results.WhenI started him on theChinaMed Chronic SinusFormula, he was able tobreathe through the noseagain before finishingthe first bottle. He hasbeen taking this formulafor a little over twomonths now andcontinues to improve.”

M. B. (practitioner, QLD)

“My colleague asked meif I had anything for oneof her patients withchronic sinusitis togetherwith an attack of acutebronchitis. She gave mea brief description of thepatient and I prescribedthe ChinaMed ChronicSinus Formula togetherwith Antitox Formula.Next week she reportedthat her patient coughedup an enormous amountof sputum for severaldays, following which hiscondition rapidlyimproved...”

O. J. (practitioner, QLD)

“A young man presentedwith a very severe caseof hayfever. It was verydifficult to take hishistory because of therepeated bouts ofsneezing! I gave him abottle of ChinaMedHayfever Formula andasked him to take 4capsules, three timesdaily. He rang me afterthree days and told methat the sneezing hadalmost completelystopped. I advised him tocontinue at 3 capsules 2-3 times daily, as needed.After three weeks he wasable to cut down to 3capsules twice dailywithout recurrence ofsymptoms.”

R. A. (practitioner,WA)

It is important tonote that

treatment shouldbe continued foran additional 3 to5 days after allthe signs andsymptoms havedisappeared.
