Formula
Enhance is comprised solely of Chinese herbs. It was designed in the early 1990's by Misha Cohen, OMD, L.Ac. based on her experience and the experience at the Quan Yin Clinic in treating thousands of HIV positive patients. Enhance is based on fu zheng therapy, which means "restoring normality". The main ingredient, red ganoderma (ling zhi) is a Qi tonic that appears to contain one of the most highly active polysaccharides found in mushrooms. Ganoderma has been used in China in treatments for viral hepatitis and cancer. Red Ganoderma and astragalus (huang qi) have been shown in Chinese research to have immune enhancing properties. Other Qi tonics are included for their traditional energy strengthening effects. A concentrated isatis (da qing ye and ban lan gen) extract is used in high doses for its strong clear heat clean toxin nature. Chinese research documents anti-viral activity as well as clinical applications. Used for patients with hepatitis, herpes simplex, herpes zoster, and viral warts. A high proportion of clear heat clean toxin herbs are used for the underlying heat inflammation present in persons with HIV infection, HCV, and other chronic viral syndromes as determined by traditional tongue and pulse diagnosis. Spatholobus (ji xue teng) extract was chosen for its clinically shown ability to help improve bone marrow function, thereby assisting in the formation of white blood cells and red blood cells. It is used extensively in China to treat the bone-marrow suppression effects of chemotherapy. Similarly, there are anecdotal reports form U.S. clinics that it appears to be helpful to people undergoing drug treatments that cause bone marrow suppression. Other blood tonics and blood vitalizers in the formula are speculated to be important for bone marrow functions
