Standing in our colorful, abundant, circular garden at the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center in Patagonia, Arizona, I am in awe of the life force vibrating around me. The green plants exude incredible energy. The bees are busy buzzing and the worms are plowing the rich soil. Just standing for a moment in this flow, I feel nurtured and rejuvenated. The secret of life is happening here.

By experiencing the green power in our gardens, we can develop a greater understanding of the overall play of life forces. As we jump from the poetry of my circular garden to the poetry of the biophysics of our planetary garden, it is important to understand the words of Nobel Prize laureate Dr. Szent-Gyorgyi: "We live by a small trickle of electricity from the sun." The green of our garden, the algae in our water, the trees, grasses and herbs in our lands are the transforming agents that harvest the sun's light via the process of photosynthesis. When we consume these foods, this stored sun energy is released into our bodies as electrons; it is then transformed into ATP, adenosine triphosphate, the biological energy necessary for all cellular functions.

If we are gaining electrons in our diet, we are able to build up an ATP energy surplus of vital life force. This ATP surplus is healing, sustaining, and rejuvenating. Unfortunately, in these modern times, such an electron surplus is uncommon. This is why it is important to incorporate foods with concentrated electron life force into our diets. They are foods that contain pure, unadulterated sun energy in a synergistic, assimilable form. My interest in the superfood formula called Pure Synergy came out of my search for the highest-vital force, highest-electron food concentrate for myself and my clients.

When we lose electrons because of excess free radicals in our bodies and unhealthy lifestyles, then our vital force is diminished and we accelerate aging and cellular and tissue degeneration. One we know this, the importance of eating a variety of green plants, grasses, algae, high-enzyme foods, herbs, and other life force-enhancing foods takes on new significance.

Every plant has a specific energy pattern, just as does every human. In my book Spiritual Nutrition and the Rainbow Diet, I refer to these patterns as Subtle Organizing Energy Fields (SOEFs)1. In my theory of nutrition, eating high-life force foods, such as organic and uncooked foods, energizes our life force. Low-life force foods, such as junk foods and foods grown on pesticided and herbicided soils, deplete our SOEFs of energy and move them toward disorganization. Another part of my nutritional theory is that as we assimilate algae, herbs and other plants containing abundant sun energy and life force, we are affected by their specific patterns on all levels of being: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Each reverberating plant pattern synchronizes with our own oscillating human energy fields to enliven, heal, and rejuvenate us on all levels. It is through assimilating pure, highly organized energy patterns into our own energy fields that our own life force patterns are energized, revitalized, and made more coherent.

When our own energy fields are enlivened and made more coherent, entropy (the process of degeneration) is reversed and rejuvenation occurs. However, when our SOEFs are depleted of energy, they become more chaotic, and entropy, or aging, occurs. A coherent SOEF pattern creates more coherent RNA and DNA patterns. When our RNA and DNA energy structures are organized and energized, our cells divide properly and our organs function and heal efficiently. When these structures are disorganized, the cells do not divide properly. If the structures are sufficiently disorganized, the ultimate chaos, which we call cancer, might occur. One of the most effective and powerful ways I have found to help patients to bring their energy systems (SOEFs) back to a condition of coherency and vitality, thereby creating and supporting a high level of health and wellness, is to eat living superfoods of the highest quality.

Kirlian photography, which measures the electromagnetic fields around living organisms, gives us a visual way to grasp the meaning of the SOEFs. As we look at Kirlian photographs of different foods, we can see patterns that are unique to each food. When the plant is organically grown and harvested at the optimal time, its pattern is more clearly defined, and it has a stronger energy field than its commercially and chemically grown counterpart. From this we can see that plants with weak electromagnetic patterns are probably not providing us with complete nutrition or energy. Those with highly organized and energized patterns, on the other hand, deliver more complete, harmonious energy to our systems. Thus, an optimum food is one that will transfer, in the most balanced and synergistic way, a complex of healing and rejuvenating life force patterns into our biological systems. In my quest for the highest-life force food concentrate with the most coherent SOEF synergistic pattern, I have seen that Pure Synergy is at the top of the list. It is the most balanced and complete superfood complex I have found.

Kirlian photography is a means of taking pictures of the nonmaterial world without a camera. It provides a way of viewing the unseen patterns of energy and force fields that probably permeate all substances. It offers mankind a tool with which to view both art and science. The technique can serve as a medical diagnostic instrument as well. The Kirlian effect is useful for recording energy balances and harmonies in all forms of life.3 The earliest experiments in Kirlian electrophotography were conducted by the three legendary pioneers in the development and application of electricity, Michael Faraday, Nikola Tesla, and Thomas Edison. Kirlian photography, as science knows it today, was developed by the Russian physicist S.D. Kirlian in the 1930s.

Discussing the Kirlian effect in their book, The Dark Side of the Brain, Drs. Harry Oldfield and Roger Coghill suggest that the Kirlian effect results from a high-voltage corona discharge caused by pulsed high-frequency waves.4 The equipment that produces the Kirlian photographic effect uses no light, but only the radiation spark discharging from an object being photographed on a film emulsion. The object being photographed is brought into direct contact with a specially constructed photographic plate and briefly exposed to a precisely controlled high-frequency electrical charge. As this high-frequency charge resonates with the research object being photographed, a corona discharge emanation, or energy field (SOEF), consisting of billions of electrons moves from the photographed object to the photographic plate. Depending upon the type of film used — instant color film, 35-millimeter black-and-white film, or something else with an emulsion that records images — different colors or shadings appear in a brilliant corona surrounding the object.5 William A. Tiller, Ph.D., of Stanford University, has expressed deep interest in the Kirlian effect. He says that each organism or material radiates and absorbs energy via a unique wave field that exhibits certain geometrical frequency and radiation-type characteristics. Whether animate or inanimate, all forms of matter have an extended force field around them.

Pure Synergy was created by Mitchell May, who spent over 15 years researching and developing the product. The result of his work is the best source of synergistic plant energy patterns available on the planet today. Pure Synergy offers a pure, concentrated, live-food source of complete, complex nutrition for all levels of being. And it is the only one of its kind. Though many companies have tried to copy the product, they do not really understand or choose to follow the principles of optimal harvesting conditions, organic growing, and pattern resonance that forge the profound healing and rejuvenating qualities provided in Pure Synergy.

In order to more fully understand the potency of Pure Synergy, one must know how and why Mitchell May developed it. In 1972, May nearly died from a catastrophic automobile accident. He sustained 40 fractures, with several inches of bone loss, severed nerves, massive muscle loss, punctured lungs, and other serious complications. His leg was so badly mangled that, in order to save his life, his UCLA doctors insisted on amputation. Fortunately, Jack Gray, a highly researched and extraordinary healer, agreed to administer his unorthodox healing skills to Mitchell May in a tightly controlled research capacity. Using various forms of electromagnetic transfer to restore Mitchell May's life force, Gray worked with May for several years. At the end of these treatments, May experienced nearly complete regeneration of skin, bones, muscles, nerves, and organ tissue. Over 70 orthopedic doctors had insisted that a recovery to this extent would be impossible. Today Mitchell rock climbs, race walks, dances, and enjoys long hikes.

May worked with Gray for seven years as his apprentice. In this time, he was able to further deepen his understanding of the healing powers of life force energies, and what began as a personal healing quest grew into what became an intense research project into the power of life force. He began to see the life force (referred to for centuries by many names in other cultures, such as chi in China, ki in Japan, and prana in India) as that which nourishes, sustains, heals, and gives us the spark of life. Once he learned how to tap into and enhance the life force within himself, he searched to find ways to help others do the same.

The life force May experienced and researched seemed to manifest in certain specific patterns and structures. These patterns, according to his findings, have the capacity to not only help us heal and regenerate, but to expand our consciousness and to see life in a whole new dimension. As he penetrated deeper into the ways to activate the life force, May began to see that certain specific natural substances such as, herbs, algae, mushrooms, sprouts and other plants, contain very coherent and radiant harmonic patterns of life force energy. These gifts of nature are actually reservoirs and transmitters of pure life force energy. It also became clear to May that when these high-life force organisms are properly grown, harvested, and prepared, there is a powerful transfer of their energetic patterns into our energetic fields in a way that greatly energizes our beings and promotes optimal health and rejuvenation.

As May's research continued, it became obvious to him that the unique healing, rejuvenating, and nourishing powers of certain superfoods are significantly enhanced when combined in specific proportions. Thus, the next phase of his research focused on finding the optimal synergistic balance to enhance the power of each food he had identified. In this synergy, the whole becomes greater than the sum of all the parts. Its ability to gather, activate, and set free the life force that dwells in every human being is amplified. It was out of this research that his Pure Synergy superfood was born.

As May explored its elements for the continuation of his own regeneration and healing, he also received clinical feedback from several health care practitioners who were testing the formulation. The universal response to Pure Synergy was that it consistently offered the body and mind the essential foundations for strong and vibrant health. It thoroughly supported the immune system and filled the vital need for creating authentic energy and mental clarity.

Most of the products on the market today that appear to give energy — such as caffeine, ma huang, and guarana — actually use up our life force instead of rebuilding it. In the long run, this false stimulation can, in fact, wear out our adrenal systems. My personal and clinical observation of Pure Synergy is that unlike many other products, it actually rebuilds the life force energy by nourishing and supporting the body as it heals its and becomes its own source of balanced energy. Pure Synergy is also perfectly balanced according to the proper protein and carbohydrate ratios that have been researched and outlined by MIT's Dr. Barry Sears in his book Enter the Zone.6 Because Pure Synergy is such a balanced superfood that feeds us on all levels, it is a formula that can be taken safely every day. When the body and mind are in balance, exceptional health, vitality, and all-around peak performance can be experienced.

Today there is more need than ever before for a true life-enhancing food. The chaotic and unhealthy conditions of our modern world, including polluted air and water, depleted soils, overactive lifestyles, and disharmonious thought forms, require a harmonious, natural level of support. This support, found in specific healing and rejuvenating herbs and other foods, seems the most intelligent and complete way to address our ills, be they mental, spiritual, or physical. Because Pure Synergy contains the purest, most bioactive, most concentrated, and most balanced combination of such foods, it is the best superfood supplement I can recommend.

When certain energies are blended together in a precise manner, they activate the potential of each other's healing and balancing nature, or essence, on both a biochemical and an alchemical level. This synergistic action is actively present in Pure Synergy. The whole of Pure Synergy is greater than the sum of its parts, and it is helpful to look at the parts as a way to understand the whole. Pure Synergy consists of the following seven general synergistic categories:

1. A full-spectrum blend of unique, specially grown, organic or wildcrafted, fresh-freeze dried, cold-dried, or Refractance Window™ dried pure algae.

2. Four rare varieties of certified organically grown Asian mushrooms referred to by Taoist masters as the mushrooms of immortality. The immunosupportive Brazilian mushroom, Agaricus blazei, is also included.

3. Naturally grown, bioactive, and free-radical-quenching antioxidant enzymes and phytonutrients from fresh-freeze dried, enzymatically active organic sprouts, blueberries, and raspberries; whole apple fruit and green papaya fruit; natural plant enzymes.

4. A completely balanced combination of Chinese herbs that have been used as a rejuvenating formula for over 2,000 years.

5. A comprehensive collection of certified organically grown, low-temperature dried, and enzymatically active 100% grass juice powders and vegetable greens.

6. A health-supporting blend of organically grown Western herbs. These herbs are freeze-dried to assure freshness and full potency.

7. An exclusive and all-natural herbal antioxidant component that fully preserves and protects the freshness and nutritional vitality of the highly sensitive elements in Pure Synergy.

The categories in Pure Synergy include the ingredients described below:

Klamath Lake Algae (aphanizomenon flos-aquae) seems to amplify the function and energy of the mind and nervous system. It apparently activates neurotransmitter systems that help many people overcome depression and improve mental clarity, concentration, and stamina. It can create a sense of joy and enhance right-brain creativity.

Spirulina is a powerful food for building and healing the body. It provides the body with solid nutrients and also helps activate the mind. It is useful in ameliorating the symptoms of hypoglycemia, diabetes, anemia, ulcers, protein deficiency, malnutrition, and chronic fatigue. It is one of the main protein sources I recommend for pregnant women. Researchers have found the phycocyanins in Spirulina to be powerful immune system stimulants, anticancerous, and possibly effective against the herpes and AIDS viruses.

Chlorella like Spirulina, has powerful healing effects. It guards against radiation and air pollution. It is particularly effective in chelating out heavy metals, PCBs, and other toxins. Chlorella is very high in nucleic acids containing a growth factor that stimulates the healing process and growth in human beings. It seems to help with the repair of RNA and DNA.

Dunaliella Salina is an algae that is specially grown in the pure and unpolluted waters of Australia. It is very high in antioxidants, including the anticancer phycotenes and a full spectrum of natural carotenoids.

Red Dumontiaceae, wildcrafted Longicruris and Digitata Kelp, Dulse, Bladderwrack, and Alaria are extremely high in active vitamin B12 and many minerals, especially iodine, which is now deficient in much of our soil. In addition, the most recent medical research indicates that the sulfolipids and polyphenols in these types of algae might be highly effective as antiviral and anticancer compounds. They also contain strong immune-enhancing elements. These wildcrafted sea vegetables are all hand-harvested from environmentally protected bays. This combination of algae contains every mineral essential for human nutrition.

The Chinese Herb component is a 2,000-year-old rejuvenation formula consisting of the following herbs: Astragalus Root, Fo-Ti Root, Poria cocos Root, Codonopsis Root, Atractylodes alba Root, Rehmannia Root, Tang-Kuei Root, Eleuthero Root, Paeonia lactiflora Root, Citrus Peel, Jujube Fruit, Ginger Rhizome, Schizandra chinensis Fruit, Polygala Root, Ligusticum wallichii Root, and Licorice Root. These herbs are standardized as a 7:1 extract to add a very strong, balanced, and deeply nourishing quality. Pure Synergy’s Chinese herbs are produced exclusively by a licensed pharmaceutical company in Taiwan for The Synergy Company. They are prepared in an authentic manner according to traditional Chinese healing philosophy as well as to strict pharmaceutical standards. Unlike almost all other herbs arriving from China, the herbs in Pure Synergy do not have to be fumigated or irradiated in order to meet FDA standards.

The green grass juices include Wheat, Barley, Oat, Spelt, and Alfalfa juices as well as whole Parsley, Spinach, Kale, and Collard Leaf. They are primarily useful for detoxifying, healing, and alkalizing the body. Made from certified organically grown, spring-harvested grasses, Pure Synergy uses a proprietary low-temperature process that preserves enzymes and nutritional bioactivity. Like Klamath Lake Algae and Spirulina, these grass juices are powerful sources of electrons, minerals, vitamins, chlorophyll, and antioxidants in the extracellular and intracellular fluids. Their healing and detoxifying energies are powerful combatants of degenerative and immune system diseases.

The unique formulation of Western herbs uses only certified organic and freeze-dried herbs. Freeze-drying is the most effective way to protect the herb’s potency, freshness, and therapeutic and critical bioactive compounds. The Western herb component includes Nettle, Red Clover, Burdock, Yellow Dock, and Dandelion, which are effective blood, liver, and kidney detoxifiers; Skullcap, which is a nerve tonic; Ginkgo biloba, which acts to improve memory and increase circulation to the brain; and Rose Hips, which offer natural vitamin C and bioflavonoids.

The Taoist mushrooms of immortality, Reishi, Shiitake, Maitake, and Cordyceps, are joined with the immunosupportive Brazilian mushroom Agaricus. These organically grown mushrooms are added in significant amounts to the Pure Synergy formula. They were selected for their ability to enhance life force, rejuvenate the mind and body, and generally build the immune system. Unlike the typical button mushrooms at the supermarket, all of the mushrooms in Pure Synergy have a long history of being very beneficial and restorative for persons with Candida albicans overgrowth and other immune system conditions. The mushrooms used in Pure Synergy are all being intensively researched by the National Institutes of Health in the United States and in Japan for their powerful immune-boosting activity.

Enzymes and phytonutrients are other premium components of Pure Synergy. Ann Wigmore, often called the mother of live-food nutrition, taught that "enzyme preservation is the secret to longevity." Enzyme depletion is associated with the aging process. Enzymes are biochemical catalysts for optimal functioning of all metabolic, detoxification, digestive, and energy-producing actions and reactions in the body. The enzyme value of Pure Synergy is further enhanced by the addition of whole Apple and freeze-dried Blueberries and Raspberries. These organic fruits are a superior source of potent antioxidant phytonutrients, such as quercetin, ellagic and phenolic acids, anthocyanins, and proanthocyanins. Recent research indicates that these fruit phytonutrients help protect cardiovascular health and possess anticancer properties. The high-enzyme foods used in Pure Synergy are organically grown Sprouts, whose enzymes have a strong cellular antioxidant effect; whole Apple fruit; freeze-dried Blueberries and Raspberries; Green Papaya, which supplies Papain; and other plant-derived digestive enzymes, including Amylase, Cellulase, Lipase, and Protease. By consuming such enzymes, we are creating an antiaging effect.

Natural antioxidants are added to preserve the viability of Pure Synergy's highly sensitive nutritional components. Special extracts of Rosemary, Clove, and Sage and naturally derived Vitamin E are used for this.

Each ingredient in Pure Synergy is laudable on its own, but together they create a package that is incredible. Pure Synergy seems to act as a biological signal to nourish, support, and awaken the latent healing and rejuvenation powers that dwell within each of us. It appears to have a cleansing, detoxifying, purifying, and rebuilding effect on the entire physiology. A typical response to this product, as given by a client of mine who has been concerned with her health for a long time, is as follows:

"I have taken many specially prescribed protein and green algae drinks in the past without much improvement in my sense of well-being, but when I take Pure Synergy, I feel fulfilled in a way that I have never felt before from food or any other supplement. My whole body feels balanced out; all my cravings leave, including those for dairy, meat, wine, beer, and coffee. When I eat meals, I now eat from a place of contentment."

Other well respected people say similar things.

Frank Hoffman, M.D., founding member of the American Holistic Medical Association, comments: "I want to tell you that Pure Synergy works! The best description that I can offer is that it feels as if the cells of my body have more aliveness. I highly recommend it to my patients."

"Pure Synergy comes closest to the most perfect food ever developed by man. It makes a huge difference in the increased amount of energy I feel. Unlike any other food item, it elevates my mood and offers a mental and emotional uplift... My patients love Pure Synergy," says Dr. Michael Whelan.

"The abundant energy pick-up, greater stamina, better mental alertness, and improved digestion, elimination, and weight control qualities of Pure Synergy are truly gratifying," says Dr. Morton Walker, world renowned medical journalist.

"I never knew how powerful a nutritional supplement could be — the way Pure Synergy boosts my energy level throughout the day makes me feel more whole and vibrant. My overall health has improved," comments Judith Orloff, M.D., author of Second Sight.

"I know the integrity of the product and the stringent criteria used in the choice and preparation of the ingredients. Pure Synergy is a product that I believe in and that I use. I highly recommend Pure Synergy," remarks Ralph Golan, M.D., author of the acclaimed health classic Optimal Wellness.

"In my experience, Pure Synergy provides the most effective and reliable immune enhancement on the market today. My patients who use it feel much more energetic, vital, and healthy. Daily supplementation with Pure Synergy is a key part of my own wellness and preventative health care," reports Joy Craddick, M.D., Medical Director of Partners for Health.

These powerful testimonials support my clinical observations that Pure Synergy enhances the life force in a way that increases vitality, clarity of mind, physical vitality, and mental alertness. It increases our sense of well-being and wholeness, strengthens the immune system, improves health, activates the rejuvenation process, and enhances cellular aliveness and joy.

It took Mitchell May 15 years to perfect Pure Synergy. During this process, he put attention to every detail of its ingredients planting, harvesting, and preparation and its production. I thought I was extremely discriminating about the quality of foods until I began to talk with Mitchell. He is the most meticulous person I have ever met. He has created an incredibly valuable product that reflects his own integrity. He says, "It's not enough to have certain ingredients combined in a certain formula. If the ingredients are not top quality, if they have been grown or processed in a way that diminishes their nutritional and healing properties, if the 'life' that is born in them is not itself nourished properly or is processed out of them, the final product itself is of little value."

As a discerning consumer attempting to evaluate the many products on the market, you must ask the right questions to obtain the answers that can allow you to be discriminating. Are as many ingredients as possible certified organic or responsibly wildcrafted? Is there any maltodextrin (corn starch), rice bran, flax meal, barley malt, grass fiber powders, apple pectin, apple fiber, or other inexpensive fillers added to the product? Is the product flash cold-dried or spray-dried? Flash cold-drying is done at 88 degrees Fahrenheit and preserves more of the nutrients and enzymes than spray-drying, which is done at higher temperatures. Are the green grasses organically grown, juiced, and then flash cold-dried, or are they simply dried and powdered? Juiced grasses are more concentrated and more bioavailable because the cell wall has been broken down. Are herbs certified organic and freeze-dried slowly? When herbs are freeze-dried, the volatile oils, which are electron carriers and active healing constituents, are kept intact. Is the storage container plastic or glass? Research shows that componenets such as beta-carotene exposed to oxygen, heat, light, or moisture become oxidized and degraded. Glass bottles are not permeable to oxygen, while plastic is. For example, 30% of the beta-carotene of a substance oxidizes when it is placed in a plastic bottle. Are the ingredients gathered and produced in environmentally safe conditions and from environmentally safe land and water areas?

May oversees and participates in every aspect of the making of Pure Synergy — from the planting, gathering, and harvesting to the testing, production, and bottling. In addition to his years of product research, he spent over three years researching ways to ensure the complete freshness, potency, vitality, and purity of the product. Pure Synergy is made in monthly batches to help ensure freshness. Each batch undergoes over 200 tests to make certain that all of the ingredients meet May's exacting standards for purity. This level of testing is unheard of for any other product that I know.

Pure Synergy is the only formula that fulfills all of the critical criteria for a true superfood. In answer to the above questions: Nearly all of the ingredients in Pure Synergy are certified organic or wildcrafted. They are flash cold-dried so that more of the nutrients and enzymes are preserved (this process keeps temperatures at or below 88 degrees Fahrenheit). The green grasses are juiced and then cold-dried, making them more bioavailable because the cell wall has been broken. The herbs in Pure Synergy are freeze-dried slowly so that they retain their volatile oils, which are electron carriers and active healing constituents. In addition, there is no maltodextrin (corn starch), rice bran, flax meal, barley malt, grass fiber powders, apple pectin, apple fiber, or other inexpensive fillers added to the product. The ingredients are gathered and produced in environmentally safe conditions and from environmentally safe land and water areas. And finally, Pure Synergy is packaged in glass rather than plastic and is then hermetically sealed. Glass bottles keep nutrients from oxidizing and degrading. Glass is impermeable to oxygen. Preliminary research shows that 30% more beta-carotene is oxidized in a plastic container.

In my practice at the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center, I have seen the powerful effects of starting people on the green path. It reconnects us with the primal mysteries and source of life on this planet and into the direct experiential wisdom of the forces of nature. The green path is powerful for the healing and rejuvenation of humans and the planet. It includes not only eating superfoods like Pure Synergy, but creating more harmonious life and work styles. It includes awareness of and attention to breathing, exercising, loving, and working in harmony with the natural laws so that we may build up our internal life force, become resistant to our planetary toxic load, and lead full, vibrant lives.

Never before in history have humans been faced with such an onslaught of toxins, both external (in the air, water, and soil) and internal (from modern-life stress). In the face of this toxic load, we must nourish ourselves in the most powerful ways possible. Though there are many green products on the market that have been inspired by Mitchell May's Pure Synergy, in my opinion none can compare with Pure Synergy. I feel that Pure Synergy is the single best superfood I can recommend for supporting us on the green path of healing and rejuvenation.
