MAHKOTA DEWA (God’s Crown /Phaleria Macrocarpa)

MAHKOTA DEWA
God’s Crown
(Phaleria Macrocarpa)
A powerful anti-oxidant that fights life-style diseases: diabetes, hypertension and heart disease, and reduces cholesterol and fats.


For centuries, the people of Indonesia have used the fruit and leaves of the tree Mahkota Dewa (literally God’s Crown) to counter diabetes, liver diseases, vascular problems, cancer, and high blood pressure.

Recent research is now confirming the experience of the years. In laboratory testing and clinical trials, there is now scientific proof that Gods Crown contains an effective battery of phyto-chemicals (plant chemicals) that combat not only the traditional cancers and fevers such as malaria, but also the so called life-style diseases.


Medical science has given extended life-spans through the introduction of hygiene and better nutrition. Average length of life has increased twofold as man’s understanding of microbes and food hygiene has improved. Advances in drugs and surgical techniques have further enhanced average longevity.


But it must be admitted that the greatest advances in human health and life-span are due not to advanced medical science, but to two very basic factors: improvement in the practice of simple hygiene; and better food. Washing your hands with soap stops spread of disease. Clean nutritious food adds years to your lifespan. It is surprising that the other major breakthroughs such as use of antibiotics, anaesthetics, immunization, hormonal and systemic drug treatments have added relatively little to the average length of life.

All the might of the burgeoning health industry with the billions of dollars spent annually contributes precious little to increase life-spans...

Do you want the truth? The early death syndrome…

So today, the dramatic advances of medical science, wonder drugs, laser surgery and all the rest seem to be powerless in the face of the growing epidemics of heart disease and cancer, the two greatest causes of death today. Sometimes, the “sickness industry” seems to operate only to limit our last days to a constant round of radium and chemo-induced misery, at great cost to our purse and the extended suffering of us and our loved ones.

The figures tell the story. In the USA, heart attacks, often leading to sudden death, take a quarter (28%) of those who die each year. Despite the best that medical science has to offer, 60% of cancer sufferers die of the disease within 5 years. That’s another 23% of deaths each year. Stroke hits another 7%, and of those, half will not die immediately, but will be permanently incapacitated.

But we have some positive information for you. There is a new, natural way that all three of the top causes of early death can be prevented. These are well authenticated answers that anyone can follow. And if you think you should take your chances because you could stop a bullet anyway, it is very unlikely. Despite all the hype, only about 0.7% of deaths in the USA are due to homicide, and they are heavily concentrated in racial minorities and poor communities.

Want a bit of science? Here’s some explanation. Hardening of the coronary arteries (atherosclerosis) is the most common form of heart disease. Fatty cholesterol deposits line the walls of the arteries and are hardened (sclerosis) by deposits of calcium or lime salts.

The walls of the arteries can be further narrowed by the clotting of blood (thrombosis). Clots break loose and plug the artery downstream and usually cause a heart attack. If it is not fatal, it will often leave the subject disabled or at least in poor health for the rest of their life.

A region of the heart deprived of blood because a clot has stopped circulation is called a myocardial infarct (dead or dying heart muscle). Myocardial infarction is more commonly known as heart attack, whereas sudden cardiac death is more commonly known as cardiac arrest. It carries off more than a quarter of those who die each year. But the alarming thing is that the number grows each year. We are seeing an epidemic.

Often associated with cardiovascular problems, the other “lifestyle diseases” of hypertension, diabetes, together with high cholesterol and blood fats (hypercholesterolemia and hyperlipidemia), hasten the grim reaper. Or worse, leave people in a vegetative state for years through strokes or Alzheimers. Obesity increases the risk factor considerably, and smoking multiplies the damage.

It is often asserted that our modern lifestyles, with food additives, fast (fatty) food, polluted atmospheres and water supplies, high stress and high consumption of tobacco and alcohol (and the increasing incidence of free radicals in our bloodstreams) and the accompanying low level inflammation in our bodies are the major causes for the growing incidence of cancer in our society.

We should understand these diseases as a collapse of the body’s homeostasis, together with the low level inflammation that is the long term precurser to the onset of cancer and heart disease, and the destruction of our ability to mount the defences and make the adjustments that are needed to protect us from these scourges.

The good news is, these things can be beaten. You can rebuild your body’s defenses. A change in lifestyle will give great benefits, but even without it, you can get protection. That’s right, you can improve your chances substantially without changing anything.

Without doing a thing - other than taking a few capsules every day. With extracts from plants that grow in the tropical forests of the Spice Islands – the Indonesian Archipelago – this one, a major component in your new wellness regime, is called Mahkota Dewa, literally Gods Crown.

Mahkota Dewa ( GOD'S CROWN)is one of the extraordinary finds that the world is only beginning to learn about. The Wellness Tree has identified the best answers to protection from the damage caused by the stress, overwork, pollution, contaminants and processed foods of unhealthy western lifestyles. And one of the best is the herb, Mahkota Dewa.
