Shilajit is perhaps the most potent rejuvenator and anti aging block buster ever known to mankind. Attributed with many magical properties Shilajit is found predominately in Himalayan region bordering India, China, Tibet and parts of central Asia.
The existence and use of Shilajit was a closely guarded secret of Yogis of Himalayas for many centuries. The Indian Yogis considered Shilajit as God's gift and a nectar of longevity. Ancient Indian scriptures mention of the wonderful powers of Shilajit in tackling most of the ailments of body and mind.
Origin of Shilajit: SHILAJIT generally speaking is a concentrated historic plant life essentially from the Himalayan region. Himalayan region encompassing India, China, Tibet and parts of central Asia was home to rich plant life right from the prehistoric times. The plants absorbed various nutrients and minerals from the soil to form rich and green vegetation. The life of trees and plants there extended to many hundred and even thousands of years. After their time the plants returned back to earth along with the minerals. This process continued over a period of many centuries. These remains of the plant life in the specific climatic condition and altitude of Himalayas formed the mineral pitch known as SHILAJIT.
SHILAJIT contains more than 85 minerals in Ionic form and FULVIC ACID.
We use a patented method of processing Shilajit which includes reverse osmosis and freeze drying. The FULVIC ACID concentration in our shilajit is anything between 60% to 75% - the highest ever.
In Sanskrit the literal meaning of Shilajit is " Rock Like " - the power to make our body like a rock enabling it to withstand the ravages of time. Shilajit has that unparalleled powers of arresting and reversing the aging process. Indian Yogis on seeing the powers of Shilajit considered it to have divine powers capable of healing the body of virtually any ailments and above all preserve our youthfulness.
Ancient Chinese and Indian literature mention of Shilajit as Amrit or Elixir of evergreen life and fountain of youth. Indian Yogis widely used Shilajit. It is not uncommon to find many Indian Yogis even aged 100 years in Himalayan regions and above having similar stamina and Body structure of a youth.
Mythology of Shilajit: Shilajit has extensive mention in ancient Hindu literature. King Chandra Varma who is supposed to have ruled much of Northern India had to spent most of his youthful years in Governing the vast empire, waging wars and protecting it from enemies. When there was peace and stability in his kingdom he was past 60 years of age.
He wanted to enjoy the pleasures of life. He unfortunately found that he had lost most of his youthfulness and could not enjoy the natural pleasures of life despite having enormous material richness and power. He then went on penance in the mountains of Himalayas and prayed to Lord Shiva - Prime most among Hindu Gods and considered the originator of Yoga. Lord Shiva was pleased with his prayer and offered him a substance originating from his body. That restored King Chandra varma's youthfulness. That substance is Shilajit and is found mostly in Himalayan mountains. King Chandra Varma who was the first to take Shilajit is considered immortal and still revered even now by local populace in India. Lord Buddha who was originally born into a royal family is considered as one of the descendants of King Chandra Varma.
There is also extensive mention of Shilajit as a powerful aphrodisiac and restorer of youthfulness in The Kama Sutra - the most widely read treatise on sex.
Shilajit and Shangri La: The Shangri-La is a place described in the 1933 book "Lost Horizon" by British author James Hilton. In the book, "Shangri-La" is a mystical, harmonious valley enclosed in the western end of the Kunlun Mountains( Himalayan mountains bordering Tibet). Shangri-La has become synonymous with any earthly paradise but particularly a mythical Himalayan utopia—a permanently happy land, isolated from the outside world. In the book Lost Horizon, the people who live at The Shangri-La are almost immortal, living years beyond the normal life span. The word also evokes the imagery of exoticism of the Orient. The story of Shangri-La is based on the concept of Shambhala, a mystical city in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
James Hilton mentions of an elixir found in The Shangri La as a fountain of youth and great healer. Though he has not specifically mentioned the name of Shilajit there is a possibility that it could be shilajit as it is found essentially in those areas of Himalayan mountains where the mythical Shangri La is supposed to be located.
Shilajit was first discovered in Modern times by British Explorer Sir Martin Edward Stanley during 1870s when India and Nepal were part of the British Empire. Most of the monkeys in plains of Northern India age and bald by the time they reach 10 years of age. Sir Edward Stanley on his exploration in higher altitude of Himalayas to his surprise found there was hardly any monkeys with aged look in his months of expedition. He subsequently observed that monkeys there regularly ate something from earth near the rocks. That was a odd behavior as monkeys do not eat anything from earth . He observed that the monkeys ate a blackish mineral pitch oozing near the rocks. The locals there called it "silajitu". Only some Indian Yogis there knew how to treat and purify silajitu and it was offered to very select people there .This has mention in his book .
United States Patents on Shilajit: There are several patents filed with the United States Patents & Intellectual Property Rights Department on Shilajit. Extensive proof has been submitted on the healing, anti-aging and restorative properties of shilajit. This has been verified, approved and patents offered by United States PTO.
Following two Patents are worth a mention. Please use the United Sates Patent Office web site http:/www.uspto.gov for more information.
United States patent number : 5,405,613 excerpts : "The present invention relates to the use of Shilajit or extracts thereof in vitamin and/or mineral compositions; to vitamin and/or mineral compositions containing Shilajit or extracts thereof and to methods to restore energetic balance or intensity, or to support or enhance a bio energetic field in a mammal using Shilajit or extracts thereof. "
"The present inventor has found that Shilajit over and above its nutritional and herbal content has novel energetic properties. Measurement of subtle energy changes indicate that Shilajit has a vibratory field that is substantially stronger than any vitamin, mineral, food substance or herb.
The present inventor has also surprisingly found that when a small amount of Shilajit is added to a vitamin or mineral preparation, the energetic properties of the vitamin or mineral preparation are enhanced "
United States patent number: 6,440,436 excerpts : "This invention relates to shilajit compositions, and particularly to purified shilajit compositions obtained from native shilajit, which compositions have an abundance of defined bio-active constituents and are devoid of toxic components, and to personal care, pharmaceutical and nutritional use formulations thereof "
"Aging and its associated problems are degenerative diseases. The aging process involves the action of highly reactive free radicals, produced systemically, which interact with other cellular compounds and produce oxidative damages and eventually kills cells and tissues and impairs the immune function of the organism" Such free radical damage accumulates and increases with age, creating degenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's, cardiovascular, arthritis, cancer and over a hundred other diseases.
"Native shilajit is a blackish-brown exudation, of variable consistencies, obtained from steep rocks of different formations found in the Himalayas at altitudes between 1000-5000 m,.Shilajit also is found in other mountain ranges of the world, e.g. Afganisthan (Hindukush, Badakh-Shan), Australia (Northern Pollock Ranges), and in the former USSR (Tien-Shan, Pamir, Caucasus, Ural). Native shilajit is believed to arrest aging and also produce rejuvenation"
Energy metabolism & aging process: From the time we are born our internal organs are continuously at work without rest. This causes wear and tear of internal organs and decay of the body cells.
Electrical potency of the Cell is the single most aspect of body cells survival. Along with the chronological age the electrical potential of the cell continuously decreases leading to weakness and decreased power of the body cells. Ultimately when the electrical potential of the cells become zero the cell disintegrates and dies.
Decrease in electrical potential of the Cells bring about decrease in Energy Metabolism. Energy metabolism is the internal Biological reaction in our body cells - deep in the mitochondria and protoplasm of our cells converting mass into energy. Metabolism is generally divided into two functions.
Anabolism or Constructive Metabolism - In this the food we eat - Carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals and Vitamins go into building up of new cells and tissues.
Catabolism or destructive metabolism - This includes the chemical reactions that break down complex molecules into simpler ones for energy production, for recycling of their molecular components, or for their excretion.
After certain age an internal degeneration process sets in the body.
It is widely accepted and proven that for men the energy level, stamina, potency and functioning of the internal organs peaks at the age of 21 years. From then on a wear and tear sets in the internal organs of the body. In the case of men starting from age of 21 there is a continuous decrease in electrical potency of the body cells.
For women youthfulness peaks at the age of 18 years. Starting from 18 years onwards there is a decrease in hormonal levels, lower secretion of body fluids, slowing of metabolism, low levels of stamina, high levels of fat build up and greater wear and tear of internal organs.
The stress of Modern day life, pollution, lack of exercise and orientation towards junk food aggravates the process of aging & degeneration further. The body cells loose their electrical potency faster leading to decreasing levels of energy metabolism .
Another major reason for many modern day diseases and faster aging process is Chemical farming. Modern day chemical farming depletes the soil and the plants we consume of naturally available Minerals.
Wrinkles on skin, thinning hair, receding hemlines, tendency to put on more weight despite consuming less food, decreasing energy & stamina, decrease in level of sexual life, susceptibility to major degenerative ailments are the signs that mean that aging process is setting in our body.
Major degenerative ailments are Diabetes, Cancer, heart diseases, osteoporosis, joint pains, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other forms of dementia. The extent to which aging process and degeneration has set in these days can be seen from the medical statistics. The number of cancer patients are increasing by hundreds of thousands every year. Even school children are being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. There are around 20 million diabetics in America as on 2006 with millions joining ranks every year. Heart diseases are taking a heavy toll on American economy. Even in early thirties joint pains seem to set in for most. Alzheimer's & Parkinson's are fast becoming household names and is affecting even those who are in mid thirties.
Why does the aging and degenerative process sets in our body?
Dr. Linus Pauling categorically stated: "You can trace every sickness, every ’disease and every ailment to a mineral deficiency" Dr.Pauling was the only scientist to win Nobel Prize twice unshared.
Our body cells needs minerals more than anything else if we have to arrest the natural degeneration process and stay young for a very long time. Minerals act as the catalysts for metabolic reactions and biological functions within the body and are required for the assimilation of all vitamins. Without minerals, the vitamins are not of any use.
We may be consuming food rich in minerals and Vitamins. We may be taking wide range of Mineral supplements. But the body cells can NEVER have sufficient minerals.
There are two main reasons for this....
The minerals that are taken as over the counter - OTC like tablets, tonics etc. are in pure inorganic- metallic form also known as the colloidal form. For example you can get calcium directly from the earth as well as from the eggs. The Calcium in eggs is in ionic form and is absorbed in a much better way than the raw calcium. Moreover raw calcium if taken in excess will cause more damage than any benefit. The minerals we find in all the tablets and pills are in raw inorganic form. The Calcium example applies to all the 85 Vital minerals that our body cells need.
Even if the minerals are in Ionic form they have to be absorbed by the cells. As the body ages the cell walls become thick and it becomes increasingly difficult for the minerals to be transported into the cells - to the Protoplasm.
Thus we see that our body cells do not get sufficient minerals and as a result they are also not able to absorb the vitamins also. This is the major reason why aging and degeneration sets in our body.
SHILAJIT - FULVIC acid as an anti aging elixir: Shilajit contains 84 types of minerals in natural ionic form which are very vital for maintaining the equilibrium of energy metabolism in our body. The minerals in Shilajit are not similar to the mineral supplements available in market. These minerals are in ionic form and have previously been absorbed by rich plant life and returned back to earth. So they are easily absorbed by the body cells.
FULVIC ACID the major ingredient of the Shilajit plays a vital role in penetrating the cell walls and transporting the minerals in to the cells. This is the most important property of the Shilajit that helps in arresting and reversing the aging process.
Fulvic acid is rapidly on its way to developing into the healing miracle of the 21st century. Scientists and doctors throughout the world are beginning to discover fulvic acid and are recognizing its extraordinary potential. Interest in the medical community has been escalating rapidly in the past few years.
Fulvic acid is created in soil in the presence of micro organisms and humus (decayed plant life) so that the minerals can be transported from the soil to the plants in faster and easier manner. Fulvic acid is the best ever known electrolyte.
The power of an electrolyte has been shown in separate tests on animal cells (giant amoebae), to be able to restore life in what researchers termed "a beautiful demonstration" and "astonishing". When the electrolyte potential was taken away from the cell during the test, the cell ruptured and disintegrated into the surrounding fluid causing death. The electrical potential of the body cell is reduced to zero at death. These studies show convincingly the physical well being upon reintroducing electrical potential. The cell reconstructed and became active and healthy.
It is indeed Amazing to know that the yogis of India knew of the powers of Fulvic Acid, in the form of Shilajit very long ago.
SHILAJIT thus acts in following ways: SHILAJIT contains 85 minerals essentially derived from the plant life in ionic form. The FULVIC ACID in Shilajit transports these minerals through the cell walls thereby maintaining and restoring their electric potency. This also ensures that the vitamins are absorbed by the cells - as the body cells cannot process vitamins in the absence of minerals.
Once the electric potency of the cells is maintained and sufficient mineral supply is achieved, it prevents the decay and death of cells.
Finally the energy metabolism process - catabolism and anabolism is maintained to equilibrium condition. Shilajit thus effectively arrests and reverses the aging process. Shilajit can significantly reduce the chances of developing degenerative ailments like Cancer, diabetes, heart diseases, sexual debility, osteoporosis, rheumatism, joint pains, dementia etc.
