A patient emailed me a question about using an herbal glyceride drop and a powdered herb that was not from Vaidya Mishra’s Shaka Vansya product line. I won’t name the products here but after researching the ingredients, this was my response to him:“The glyceride is in an alcohol base. The alcohol is used as a preservative. Why is a preservative needed? Because the ingredients are dead and would rot away without the alcohol. Also the alcohol is “agneya” meaning it increases Agni. Once in the gut, the alcohol will destroy the probiotics and heat up the liver. The powder’s ingredients also are dead and therefore contains preservatives. One big problem is that it uses Magnesium Stearate as a binder. This ingredient is toxic.
Potentially Harmful Effects of Magnesium StearateMagnesium stearate is formed by adding a magnesium ion to stearic acid. The compound has lubricating 
properties, which is why it’s often used in the making of supplements, as it allows the machinery to run faster and smoother, and prevents the pills or capsules from sticking to each other.
However, previous research has shown that stearic acid suppresses T cells—your natural killer cells—which are a key component of your immune system. According to many studies, stearic acid causes the collapse of cell membrane integrity—an effect that was found to be time and dose dependent—which, ultimately, can destroy cell function.
This is why I only use Vaidya Mishra’s SVA products. I absolutely know that he uses no alcohol or other preservatives or binders in his products. The reason he can get by without all the toxic ingredients that the other manufacturers use is because of the knowledge passed down through his Shaka Vansya lineage of how to maintain the life of the herb even after making it into an medicine. This knowledge is so precious and lost to the world. The result is that the ingredients don’t disintegrate and all of the intelligence (Prana) of the herbs are available for healing. In all other products the ingredients are dead. Even if they are organic they are still dead. When they are dead, then Nature’s intelligence is missing and the ingredients cause some confusion to the physiology and sometimes actual harm.”
While you may get some good effect from the other products, it will always be at some cost. For example, the glyceride may relieve some bloating and gas, but the alcohol stresses the friendly bacteria and the liver. We always want only good effects, no side effects.
The point here is that all nutritional products sold today use ingredients that are dead and therefore contain preservatives and other ingredients as binders and lubricants that may be toxic. Vaidya Mishra’s products contain ingredients that maintain Nature’s intelligence without those toxic ingredients. To my knowledge, they are the only products on the market that accomplish that.”
