The St. Germain Anti-Aging
Formula
Count Saint Germain invented and consumed this formula and allegedly
lived for centuries (some say he is still alive today). Because there
are so many anti-aging elixirs out there I usually dismiss many of
them, however this formula matches the 3 principles of Longevity:
1: Count St. Germain's appearance stayed betweeen that of 35 and 40
years of age, which is common for an accomplished alchemist. This
is much like Mr. Li Ching Yuen whose appearance also remained
that of a mid-40 year old, as he allegedly
lived to over 200
years of age.
2: The formula is a laxative and improves digestion, as I cover in my
book L
iving Beyond 120,
many of the best anti-aging herbs have laxative effects, and enhance
digestion,
especially the
digestion of proteins. It is already a fact
low protein diets
extend lifespan.
3: Count St. Germain's formula contains the herb Star Anise, which
strengthens
digestion, allowing proteins and other foods to be properly broken
down. This is important, because Ginger is commonly combined with
Anise, and Ginger happens to be one of the most powerful spices to help
break down proteins. As a matter of fact a combination of Ginger, Anise
and Cinnamon are the most commonly combined spices for healing
digestion. Fennel and Cumin Seeds are used as a substitute for
Anise in cooking and Cumin seed was what
Zaro Aga
(Agfa) ate a lot of and allegedly lived to 160 years. Vanilla is
sometimes added with Anise to create a dark, rich Vanilla Aroma/Flavor .
It is said that all aging begins in the colon.
due to
the age-associated malabsorption of nutrients from food that occurs
as a person grows older. Studies have shown that the intestine is an
important organ with respect to genetic interventions that
promote longevity (
Biteau et
al. 2010; Guo et al. 2014; Rera et al. 2013). This is due to the
fact that the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract contains the
largest
concentration and number of microbes found in the human body which
decline as a person ages.

When we have a colon free of years of build up and a strong digestive
system, it only makes sense that our immune system becomes stronger to
combat disease and illness. This formula is one of the best I
have come across and is a mild laxative, so it should be used once
every 3 days. I personally have found it a miracle cure for an upset
stomach by adding just 8 drops to 1 cup of spring water. It also is an
amazing formula to use to help get rid of constipation
instantly.
Scientific Published Papers of Ingredients contained in the St. Germain
Formula
A paper titled:
Estudo
de Toxicidade Pré-Clínica de Fitoterápico contendo Pimpinella
anisum, Foeniculum foeniculum, Sambucus australis e Cassia
angustifolia, (
Google
Translate) that was published in December 2006, by the Latin
American Journal of Pharmacy, conducted by Fernanda Bastos de
Melloo and colleagues, showed a formula that appears to be the
St.Germain Formula that was administered to rats, including pregnant
rats, at 10 times the normal dose (The normal recommended dose
for humans is is 2 tablespoons of the tea) in a time-span ranging from
30 days to 44 days to test its toxicity. The study
found no toxic effects from taking the formula including the
offspring from the pregnant rats. The formula had been marketed
as a tea in Brazil since 1926. After reading through the
paper, it showed that the formula happened to increase white blood
cells (Neutrophils and Eosinophils).
There was also an increase in testicle size and a more profound thirst
for water. The increase in testicular size may have been
attributed to
increased
testosterone.
Also there was a significant increase in creatine levels.
Creatine has been
shown to have powerful neuroprotective effects against
neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis and Huntington's disease. Urea levels were also
increased.
Urea
has been shown to extend lifespan in a published study showing its
life-extending effects upon fruit flies. An independent research study
conducted on Fennel, one of the ingredients in the formula showed
that
Fennel
enhances leucocytes (white blood cells).
Fennel and Glaucoma A study found that
Fennel can offer
significant protection against glaucoma in studies done on rabbits.
What is also interesting is a young woman from an anti-aging company
reversed
the age of her white blood cells, making them 20 years younger. The
44-year old woman looks 35 in the photograph. Also
Organic
Fennel shows much higher antioxidant levels than non-organic fennel.
A more recent paper published in April 2010
titled:
Randomized
clinical trial of a phytotherapic compound containing Pimpinella
anisum, Foeniculum vulgare, Sambucus nigra, and Cassia augustifolia for
chronic constipation, that was conducted by Paulo D. Picona and
collegeues, looking at the same ingredients came to the same
conclusions as the first study conducted in December of 2006 (Estudo de
Toxicidade Pré-Clínica de Fitoterápico contendo Pimpinella anisum,
Foeniculum foeniculum, Sambucus australis e Cassia angustifolia).
Aging and White Blood Cells Research has shown that leukocytes are
lower in the elderly

Another
study observing people with Sepsis found that a significant
correlation existed between infection and white blood cells, with the
effects being more common in urinary tract, gastrointestinal and skin
infections. The study also found that a significant correlation existed
between white blood cells and age and that elderly people have
lower body temperatures. The study also found that the most
common sources of infection in the elderly were lung (31%) and urinary
tract (23%) in people with Sepsis. In the control group probable
sources of infection were gastrointestinal tract (18.5%), and lung
(17%). Another study found that elderly people with kidney disease have
very
low white blood cell counts.
Blood Cells and Age A study found that a
person's hemoglobin
levels and red blood cells began to decrease in men over 60, and in
women over 70. The study also found that white blood cells declined as
a person ages. Another study found that
Fennel increased a
rat's red and white blood cells due to the fennel containing
polyphenols and antioxidants which reduced the negative effects of free
radicals on blood cells. Also
polyphenols
from rosemary have been shown to be powerful protectors against
colon cancer, and that the
polyphenols in
coffee reduce the risk of colon cancer.

Speaking from personal experience, I have added just under 1/2 a
tablespoon of Rosemary to the St. Germain formula when used as a tea
and it appears to exhibit synergistic effects. The specific polyphenols
in
fennel are quercetin, rosmarinic acid and gallic acid. Gallic acid
has been shown
to
prolong lifespan. The plant C. longa contains Gallic Acid, as well
as
PGG,
which has been shown to extend lifespan. Other plants rich in
rosmarenic acid include Nepeta trachonitica and
Thyme.
Nepeta is a genus of flowering plants in the family Lamiaceae. Hence
coudl rosmarenic acid be responsible for the anti-aging effects in the
formula? A study titled
Effect of
rosmarinic acid in motor dysfunction and life span in a mouse model of
familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis published in March 2010 by
Shimojo Y and associates found that rosmarinic acid had extremly
beneficial effects in the prevention of neurodegenerative disease in a
study done on mice.
Rosmarinic
acid was discovered in 1958 by Italian chemists M. L. Scarpatti and
G. Oriente from the spice rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis)
Summary
The normal range of a person's white blood cell is between 4,500 to
10,000 cells per microliter of blood. Below normal levels indicate
spleen disease and or bone marrow failure, illness or invasion by a
foreign body typically provokes a rise in white blood cells. Physical,
emotional stress and chronic medications also cause an increase in the
body's white blood cells. Hence, when the body is fighting an
infection, their white blood cells will increase. This is why in an
analysis of death records of people who died,
showed
higher white blood cell levels and why people who
have
glaucoma have increaed white blood cells.
This shows the importance of not overdoing anti-aging formulations as
above average white blood cell counts can be detrimental to health.
Because white blood cells decline with age, the St. Germain formula may
be of benefit to people over the age of 45.
How to Properly Prepare the St. Germain Formula
This formula is from the book
The
Path of Alchemy: Energetic Healing & the World of Natural Magic
lists Count St. Germain's formula as follows:
This formula involves subjecting the Senna to a high potassium
compound, which is than dried out over a low flame/heat. This is
a key part of the process and improves the results of the herbal
combination significantly. The Ingredients are as follows:
3 Parts Senna
Just under 1 part Cream of Tarter
Just over 1.5 Parts Elderberry
1 Part Crushed Fennel Seed
0.5 Parts Star Ansie (use the actual star, as the seed does not make as
fine a powder).
Grind up herbs and if you want a fine powder, than after crushing in
the mortar and pestle run the crushed herbs through a fine sieve over a
paper plate or plastic bag to collect the fine powder.
Next on a copper sheet place the crushed Senna herb.
Next using a fine mist of spring water from a hand trigger mist sprayer
lightly spray the surface of the senna herb until it is moist. You can
also the top of a salt and pepper shaker to lightly apply the water
until the senna is moist.
Next using the end of a salt or pepper shaker, place the powdered cream
of tarter and gently shake the salt and pepper lid with the cream and
tarter over the most senna until it is evenly covered.
Now wait until the cream of tarter has turned a mid yellow color before
you start the drying process.
Next take the copper sheet and place over a burning candle, lamp or low
burning flame.
Now by avoiding the senna smoking, and at a low heat gently dry out the
senna using the low heat. Once it has dried, place the almost dry senna
back in the mortar and pestle and lightly re-pulverize gently to make
into a fine powder. You may have to repeat this process by crushing,
than placing back on the copper sheet to re-dry some more until the
final powder has been achieved.
Next combine all ingredients with the newly treated senna powder and
bottle.
The St Germain formula is one of the very best intestinal detoxer
formulas I've ever seen. It moistens the intestine and lucubrates the
intestines and clears out the colon. Excellent when combined a
grapefruit or pomelo fast/detox. Because the formula can have laxative
type effects, I take the SOD mix the following morning or 6 hours after
taking the St. Germain Mix
Enhanced St. Germain Formula
Here are the results of an enhanced st. Germain Formula I made:
1 part Ansie, equal parts of Cumin Seed with the original formula of
St. Germain, a pinch of Ginger and a small amount of the Jiaogulan
herb. This formula was so strong that it had runny laxative effects for
12 hours. I took SOD mix the following morning to help re-tighten the
intestines. But on the other hand it was a powerful detoxer and I felt
very energetic and "clean" as I am sure many toxins were removed with
this ramped up formula. I advise only using this formula when you want
a strong internal detox and be sure to have SOD or similar stool
strengthener that you can take the following morning.
Synergy
One of the best ways to create a more effective formula is to combine
Zeolite with the St. Germain Formula. This is because as the Zeolite
detoxes the body, it also detoxes the digestive system. When this
occurs, the St. Germain Formula works in synergy with the Zeolite,
clearing out the colon and adding healthy moisture to the digestive
system, thus enhancing health and well being considerably. I have found
the best results are 10 parts Zeolite to 1 Part St. Germain Formula.
