The World Health Organization (WHO) defines a "healthy" person as not only physically healthy but also mentally fit, emotionally balanced and secure in his or her social environment. Thus “health“ is far more than the absence of disease or suffering. Health means physical, intellectual, emotional and social equilibrium.
According to this definition the “really“ healthy people and those diagnosed as sick together make up only one third of humanity. The remaining two-thirds find themselves in a third state, the transition from health to disease. This state is called “sub-health“.

In their work doctors often meet patients who suffer from a weakened immune system accompanied by frequent colds, excessive formation of mucus, depression, fatigue and lethargy, insomnia, indigestion or vague pain. But if the results of subsequent laboratory tests seem positive, the doctor ususally has no other choice than to declare the patient healthy. Nonetheless, these people feel neither well nor sick. Modern medicine’s answer to this usually extends no further than more or less explicit lifestyle recommendations, such as playing sports and taking vitamins or minerals. Not infrequently these patients end up being referred to psychologists or psychiatrists, and the problem is shunted onto a completely different level.

In contrast to modern Western classification, according to Chinese medicine (TCM) the people without distinct symptoms characteristic of sub-health are already defined as “sick”.

These symptomes include:

• constant tiredness and fatigue despite adequate sleep
• weakened immunity, frequent colds and in general being in "poor health"
• excessive mucus formation
• water retention (puffy face, "heavy legs " etc.)
• sensation of foreign body in the throat ("lump in the throat")
• stomach problems with occasional nausea or diarrhoea occurring without any reason
• reduced concentration, forgetfulness
• general feelings of malaise which cannot be specifically defined
• feeling like a “wet rag” due to frequent and excessive consumption of alcohol, fatty and sweet food, nicotine or drugs
• sagging skin, premature aging of skin

Through its unique combination of highly effective plants from the South American rain forests and special TCM herbs, the CoD herbal granules are tailor made for the individual needs and symptoms of Subhealth.

On the one hand CoD ™ has powerful purgative effects. Whatever causes the body stress is combined together and excreted. These problems usually build up over the course of many years and can have several causes: unhealthy living habits such as poor diet or excessive use of stimulants like alcohol and cigarettes, high stress levels at work and in private life, lack of exercise, or mental stress in daily life. At the same time CoD™ regenerates the weakened organism: the immune system is supported in its many functions and regenerated, cell metabolism is stimulated, and the energy balance of body and mind is restored.
