Introduction
Good afternoon, everyone. It’s Dr Shiva Ayyadurai. Today, we’re continuing our lung
Health Series is on the northeast here in Massachusetts, and other places it’s wintertime, so as a part of that, as many of you know we take a systems approach to understanding everything in nature, and as a part of that systems approach, we’re going to be using cytosol, this technology that came out of my PhD work at MIT, to really look at a very interesting herb called astragalus and its effects on lung congestion, so that’s we’re going to do today on the effects of astragalus and lung congestion so we have a lot to cover and as many of you know, everything we do um what I do with our truth freedom and health movement is always taking a systems approach, you can see the little ticker running below, but we’ve created a global movement called Truth Freedom Health, which is really about educating people to think, but everyone’s standing
upon their own two feet beyond left and right, and to let go of false gods to let go of the grifters, many of them who never say what needs to be said at the right time, they always jump in after the fact, you know, and then when they jump i,n they actually hurt the actual uh discourse on science or anything legitimate so um we need to take a systems approach I recommend all of you become Truth Health Warrior Scholars and hopefully this discussion today will motivate you to do that, so we have a lot of stuff to cover, and I’m going to try to do it in as organized matters possible, but those of you joinin,g we’re going to play a couple of videos as people are joining in we’re going to be talking about astragalus and lung congestion, alright, so let’s just jump right into it so first of all I want to play for you a very important video that will really give the importance of taking a systems approach as people are coming in it’s very important to take a systems approach to life, and it’s been my life Journey because it will really give us an ability to see the whole and not the part, so let me just play this quick video, and let’s start
Journey to systems
So that’s the VASHIVA Truth Freedom Health movement. And I’ll come back to that. But the foundation of that is really a Systems Approach. So when we look at something like Astragalus, we want to take a Systems Approach to looking at it. The scientific approach of reductionism–where you just look at one little piece of something–is a way that, in many ways, you can fool yourself or those in power can take advantage of you in anything–be it science, be it understanding politics, be it having an argument. When you take an interconnected Systems approach, you get a much better view closer to the truth. So as people are coming in, let me just, I have a new video that I put together that really encourages people to, you know, sort of share my personal Journey to Systems, and you can look at it how your own life has gone. So let me just share this with everyone.
What You Will Learn
We’re going to do today, you see, when you take a systems approach, you look at the whole, you don’t just cherry pick research, and that’s what we want to do, we want to take a systems approach to understanding this very powerful herb called astragalus and its effects on lung congestion if you look what’s out there relative to the science right now from our initial research we find that there’s close to 1,783 research articles out of 95 clinical trials have been done over 57 years of research on this
You know food as medicine, astragalus, alright, and what we do at cytosolve, we have a very powerful technology that allows us to take all that research understands about astragalus relative to the particular molecules in it and how it affects the molecular systems of lung congestion now
Astragalus is a powerful herb, and at CytoSolve®, we apply a systems approach to understand its effects, particularly on lung congestion. CytoSolve is a revolutionary technology that aggregates and analyzes thousands of research papers to provide a holistic understanding of a biological system, rather than relying on cherry-picked studies or reductionist thinking. When it comes to astragalus, we’ve identified nearly 1,783 research articles and 95 clinical trials conducted over the past 57 years.
CytoSolve® enables us to understand how the molecules in astragalus affect the molecular pathways involved in lung congestion. Unlike academic and pharmaceutical institutions mired in corruption and inefficiency, CytoSolve® integrates all known research to provide real solutions based on systems science. We developed this technology as part of the CytoSolve® Open Science Institute, a component of the Truth Freedom Health® movement, which empowers people to participate in open, transparent, and citizen-driven research.
To understand lung congestion, one must grasp the underlying biological mechanisms. Normal airways become inflamed and produce excess mucus during congestion. The airway walls thicken, muscles tighten, and excess blood flow to the lungs causes inflammation and hypermucus production, creating an ideal environment for infection. The key molecular pathways involved include arachidonic acid metabolism, cytokine production (via MAPK and NF-κB pathways), mucin production, and smooth muscle relaxation.
Effective treatment requires reducing the levels of key inflammatory markers—PGE2, IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, and MUC5AC—while increasing MLCP, which helps relax smooth muscle tissue. This is the systems-based strategy we use to assess the efficacy of natural compounds like astragalus.
In terms of health benefits, astragalus supports skin health, diabetes management, hypertension, immune modulation, cardiovascular health, and cancer prevention. Its biological effects include anti-aging, antiviral, immune regulation, anti-tumor properties, blood glucose and lipid regulation, radiation protection, anti-fibrosis, and antimicrobial activity.
However, astragalus is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Individuals with skin rashes, itching, nasal issues, or stomach discomfort should be cautious, as astragalus may aggravate these conditions. At Truth Freedom Health®, we advocate personalized care. That’s why we offer tools like Your Body, Your System®, which applies principles of transport, conversion, and storage—paralleling the Ayurvedic concepts of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, to help individuals determine what foods and supplements are best suited for their unique constitution.
In the case of astragalus, it stabilizes movement (Vata) and structure (Kapha), but increases metabolic activity (Pitta). This makes it beneficial in cases where someone needs immune stimulation or respiratory support, but it may not be ideal for individuals already experiencing high Pitta symptoms.
At CytoSolve®, we go beyond just analyzing herbs. We’ve also developed our own scientifically validated products using the same technology. For example, MV25™, a powerful formulation for pain and inflammation, was developed using CytoSolve’s predictive modeling. It combines compounds from bitter orange and parsley. After running trillions of molecular simulations, we identified a unique synergy and patented the formulation. It’s one of many examples of how CytoSolve® integrates nature and science to deliver precision health.
We invite everyone to explore and support our work through the CytoSolve® Open Science Institute at VASHIVA.com. All contributions help expand this unique, people-powered science initiative and support the development of holistic, evidence-based health solutions.
The State of Modern Health—and Why It’s Failing Us
The modern healthcare system is broken, not just in cost or access, but at a fundamental level of design. We live in a world where:
- Lifespan is decreasing in many countries.
- Chronic disease rates are rising exponentially.
- Most treatments address symptoms, not root causes.
- People are sicker, more confused, and more medicated than ever.
This isn’t an accident. As Dr. Shiva bluntly states, those in power are not here to save you; they’re here to manage you. From “Big Pharma” to “Big Government” to “Big Media,” a multi-tentacled system profits from your dependency.
But here’s the good news: you can break free. Not by chasing health fads, not by voting harder, but by learning the core principles of systems science and taking a systems approach to your health.
That’s the philosophy behind Truth Freedom Health®—a platform created to enable everyday people to think clearly, heal effectively, and act courageously.
A New Scientific Renaissance—The Rise of Systems Biology
Before we dig into the powerful science of Astragalus and how it impacts lung health, let’s understand why systems biology changes the game.
Traditional medical research typically focuses on isolated variables. One drug. One gene. One pathway. But the human body isn’t a machine—it’s a dynamic, interconnected system of feedback loops, networks, and environmental interactions.
That’s where CytoSolve® enters the picture.
Dried Astragalus root
Astragalus isn’t just another herb in the natural wellness aisle—it’s a molecular powerhouse. Modern science has identified 21 key active compounds within this ancient root, each offering specific biological functions.
Let’s unpack what makes Astragalus so effective:
Astragalus membranaceus is a medicinal herb used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine, especially for lung, immune, and cardiovascular health. Its medicinal properties are concentrated in the stems and roots. Astragalus contains 21 key molecular constituents, including four polysaccharides (e.g., APS, Radix Astragali polysaccharide), ten polyphenols (e.g., quercetin, rutin, apigenin), and seven saponins (e.g., astragaloside IV, beta-sitosterol). From these, seven molecules stand out as active components relevant to lung health: APS, astragaloside IV, quercetin, rutin, beta-sitosterol, hesperidin, and chlorogenic acid.
The Core Bioactive Compounds
Polysaccharides
- APS (Astragalus Polysaccharide)
Known for its potent immunomodulatory and anti-fibrotic effects. - Radix Astragali Polysaccharide
Used widely in TCM to enhance Qi and vitality. - Heteropolysaccharide APSID 3
Offers antioxidant and respiratory support. - Astragalan
Supports immune signaling and cellular defense.
Polyphenols
- Quercetin, Rutin, Apigenin, Calycosin, Cladrin
These powerful antioxidants reduce inflammation, scavenge free radicals, and support lung tissue integrity.
Saponins and Sterols
- Astragaloside IV
Known for anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fibrotic actions. - Beta-sitosterol, Beta-daucosterol
Cholesterol-lowering and immune-enhancing effects. - Iso-astragaloside, Astraisoflavain, Sphondin
Lesser-known, but contribute to lung resilience and detoxification.
These compounds do not act in isolation—they operate in synergy. And that’s exactly why a systems approach like CytoSolve® is necessary.
Astragalus biological effects
Astragalus offers a wide range of health benefits beyond lung health. It is also beneficial for skin health, diabetes management, hypertension, immune function, arteriosclerosis, and even cancer. While today’s focus is on its effects on lung health, it’s important to note that astragalus exhibits nine significant biological effects. These include anti-aging properties, antiviral activity, immune regulation, anti-tumor effects, blood glucose regulation, blood lipid level modulation, radiation protection (an area with substantial research from China and Russia), anti-fibrosis (which helps prevent tissue scarring), and bacteriostatic effects—meaning it inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi. These diverse biological actions make astragalus a potent herb with systemic benefits.
CytoSolve®
So the key here is dosages, dosages, dosages, right? The right amount of it at the right time can be profoundly valuable. So we’ll talk about the invention of CytoSolve®, which is a technology I created for my PhD work at MIT. It helps us find those dosages and combinations. So it’s all about dosing. So don’t think, “Well, that’s good, that’s bad.” A lot of the people in health, in the Big Health, will say, “Oh, well, you know, everyone should eat raw vegetables. They’re great.” Well, if you eat, you know, a certain amount of kidney beans raw, or for some people depends on how, it’s gonna kill you, okay? So just don’t think “this is good, that’s bad.” That’s a very, very reductionist way of looking at the world, all right? So let’s go back here. So we’re looking at it. So it’s non-toxic, the key word is a very small concentration. It detects a broad range of targets, in the microbes, we’re going to go look at this: targets in the microbes. What do we mean by that? Well, quick, a little bit of biological sciences here, biological engineering, or biology.
When you look at stuff in your body, okay, your body. If you take a cell–we have about 300 different cell types–each cell on the surface of the cell, yeah, to put it simply, is like a catcher’s mitt. That’s called a receptor. And what the pharma guys try to do is they try to figure out how to send a particular pharmaceutical drug to find the right target for that particular molecular species, okay? So your body has targets, right? No different than a target, you know, people who do archery. Those targets are what they attempt to hit in the pharmaceutical world. But when you eat food–or when you take certain nutrients–those nutrients in the food get broken down into many molecules, and those molecules go and hit particular targets. And when you hit that target, it’s like pushing a button, and those activate different reactions. So what I do for, you know, the two separate lives I have with Truth Freedom Health and building this movement to change the world, is CytoSolve®, is a technology that I developed where we also–day in and day out I’m looking at molecular pathways–doing mathematical modelling–to understand how foods and different substances can turn off and turn on these targets, okay? So targets are things in your body that, when you connect them with some component, they will cascade a series of reactions. So what we’ll talk about, what we’ll show you, is that Astragalus hits multiple targets that have various different biological functions. So we’ll talk about that also, all right.
So, then, what I want to talk about is that this can be used in combination with other ingredients to improve efficacy, okay? So it can be used in combination–very, very important aspect that… people don’t forget… everyone–like turmeric for example, right? There’s been a lot of research saying turmeric’s good, and we’ll talk about this. So people just go buy tons of turmeric and they’ll eat it. But I gotta tell you, in traditional cultures, no one just eats turmeric, okay? People typically mix turmeric with other things. Synergistic reactions are gonna have a positive effect or a negative effect. By the way, in the United States today 82, the average 82-year-old person is taking 12 different pharmaceutical drugs, and no one really knows the combination toxicities that they can create. Again, it’s the dosages and the combinations. we want to take a systems approach to understanding this very powerful herb called astragalus and its effects on lung congestion if you look what’s out there relative to the science right now from our initial research we find that there’s close to 1,783 research articles out of 95 clinical trials have been done over 57 years of research
So when we look at all this kind of data, how do we actually bring it together to really have value? Well, CytoSolve® is a technology I created for my PhD work at MIT, and you go to CytoSolve.com. And CytoSolve is a technology to–simply put–mathematically modelling molecular reactions on the computer. And my initial motivation, I’ll play a little video, so I don’t repeat myself, and we just created one, is when you look at all this data that’s up there, you know, 17,000 papers. No one here has time to go through all of these papers, okay? But with technology, we can take these papers and figure out relative to immune health which are the appropriate ones, which is what we’ve done: curate them and then find the molecular mechanisms and build an architecture of the Immune System, figure out how these work. So that’s what I’m gonna share with you. So with the power of CytoSolve, we’re able to do this. And by the way, let me play a quick video that we just did. So that’ll explain the… what is CytoSolve®. But more importantly, it’ll also give you the origin of CytoSolve, the politics of CytoSolve. We’re going to contrast in this video what’s going on between Big Pharma and also Big Vitamin, okay? These guys are actually starting to converge. But CytoSolve allows us to take all this data and bring it together to really find the nature of what’s really going on. Because without that understanding, we’ll always be, you know, moved in different directions. So let me play this for you.
Alright, so that should give you an idea of what CytoSolve® is. CytoSolve® is really a technology that allows us to look at the known science, bring things together, and then figure out what’s working. By the way, I think I’ve shared with many of you. We’ve been doing this for about 16-17 years, from building the technology at MIT, then writing papers. We’ve tried to help everyone. We even went to pharma companies and we said, “Look, why don’t we model your molecular pathway so you could find out if your stuff’s going to be toxic or not.” But a few companies want us to model, like, for example, lupus, etc. But most of pharma does not care about finding what really is going on. Some guys do. Because their goal is to just get their stuff out there, whether it works or not, to uptick that stock price, and you see the same thing going on with vitamins. I think the important thing to understand is… By the way, quick note to everyone. Our mV25 product. It’s been sold out. So we’re going to–because of the COVID nonsense, you know, their supply chains have been very, very hard to. In fact, to just get capsules or even bottles, but we’re going to be doing a shipment out today. So just be patient. For those of you who have been waiting, it’ll be out shortly. But you can go find out more about this. But we’re going to be doing a whole new manufacturing batch coming up. And you can go find that in the shop.
Lung health
Lung health is essential to sustaining life and overall vitality, as our lungs are responsible for one of the most fundamental processes in the human body, respiration. Through the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, the lungs supply oxygen to every cell, supporting energy production, immune function, brain health, and cellular repair. Optimal lung function ensures that the body can effectively remove carbon dioxide, a waste product of metabolism, and maintain acid-base balance in the bloodstream. When the lungs are compromised, whether due to infection, chronic inflammation, pollution, smoking, or underlying disease, the consequences can affect every system in the body.
The respiratory system is particularly sensitive to environmental factors. Pollutants such as fine particulate matter (PM2.5), cigarette smoke, industrial chemicals, and allergens can cause irritation and inflammation in the airways, leading to conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and even lung cancer. Viral and bacterial infections can cause temporary or long-term damage to lung tissue and impair respiratory efficiency. Furthermore, modern lifestyle factors—such as sedentary behavior, poor nutrition, and inadequate hydration—can also weaken lung function over time.
Maintaining lung health involves a multifaceted approach. Regular cardiovascular exercise, such as walking, swimming, or cycling, can help improve lung capacity and promote the efficient exchange of gases. Practicing deep breathing exercises and yoga can further enhance oxygen uptake and reduce stress-related shallow breathing. Avoiding exposure to pollutants, quitting smoking, and ensuring good indoor air quality with proper ventilation and air purification are critical for protecting the lungs from harm. Nutritionally, a diet rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and anti-inflammatory foods—such as fruits, vegetables, turmeric, ginger, and green tea—can support respiratory function by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in the lungs.
Herbs like astragalus, licorice root, thyme, mullein, and echinacea are also known in traditional medicine systems for supporting lung health. These botanicals often work through immune modulation, anti-inflammatory effects, and mucolytic activity that helps clear excess mucus from the airways. Finally, proactive healthcare measures such as regular check-ups, vaccinations, and early detection of respiratory issues play a crucial role in preserving lung function. In a world increasingly burdened by environmental toxins and respiratory illnesses, safeguarding lung health is not just a personal responsibility—it is essential for public health and long-term well-being.
The Systems Architecture of Lung Disease
To understand how Astragalus can help, we must first understand what actually causes lung diseases, beyond the symptoms.
The Core Challenges in Lung Health
1. Fibrosis
The stiffening and scarring of lung tissue, often due to inflammation and oxidative stress. Fibrosis reduces oxygen exchange and leads to chronic breathlessness.
2. Mucus Hypersecretion
Overproduction of mucus can clog airways, harbor bacteria, and trigger asthma attacks or COPD flare-ups.
3. Inflammation
Driven by immune responses to environmental triggers, pollutants, infections, or allergens, leading to tissue breakdown over time.
These issues don’t occur in isolation. They interact and reinforce each other through complex molecular pathways, such as:
- TGF-β Signaling (linked to fibrosis)
- Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) (linked to inflammation)
- IL-13 and MUC5AC Expression (linked to mucus production)
Instead of chasing symptoms, CytoSolve® maps these pathways and identifies TGF-β, IL-13, & MUC5AC spots where natural compounds can interrupt the disease process.
Inflammation, Fibrosis, and Mucus—The Three Molecules of Lung Breakdown
Here’s how Astragalus tackles each of the big three lung health issues, based on CytoSolve®’s modeling and analysis.
1. Blocking Fibrosis at the Root
Problem:
TGF-β inhibits the production of E-cadherin, vimentin, and α-SMA, leading to fibrosis.
Astragalus’ Solution:
- APS and Beta-sitosterol block TGF-β activity.
- Calycosin activates Nrf2, which in turn stimulates SOD and Catalase—two enzymes that destroy ROS before they trigger fibrosis.
2. Reducing Mucus Overproduction
Problem:
Three major pathways upregulate MUC5AC and MUC5AB, the key genes behind mucus overproduction.
Astragalus’ Solution:
- Quercetin blocks PKC, disrupting one of the primary mucus pathways.
- APS reduces endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, preventing MUC5AC overexpression.
- Baicalein inhibits IL-13, a cytokine responsible for both MUC5AC and MUC5AB upregulation.
This 3-pronged defense makes Astragalus uniquely equipped to address both allergic and non-allergic triggers of mucus congestion.
3. Combatting Inflammation
Astragalus contains compounds like Licochalcone B that suppress NF-κB, a master regulator of cytokine storms.
Other effects include:
- Reduction of IL-17 production by suppressing RORγt –helps in asthma control.
- Inhibition of fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition – halts early-stage lung scarring.
This positions Astragalus as one of the most comprehensively acting herbs for respiratory resilience.
Personalizing Health—Why One Size Doesn’t Fit All
Health is not a uniform concept. What works wonders for one person might throw another off balance. This reality is often ignored by mainstream medicine, which tends to prescribe the same treatment to millions of people regardless of individual variability.
Dr. Shiva’s systems approach recognizes a profound truth: every body is a system, and every system is different.
In personalized health, we don’t ask, “What works?” We ask, “What works for me?”
This is where traditional systems like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) were ahead of their time. They focused on internal balance, unique body constitutions, and individualized treatments.
Modern science is catching up—but only through platforms like CytoSolve® and the accompanying framework, Your Body, Your System®.
The Role of Your Body, Your System®
One of the most powerful tools offered by the Truth Freedom Health® platform is a web-based system called Your Body, Your System® (YBYS).
This system uses a series of self-assessment questions to evaluate how your body operates across three key properties:
- Transport – Flow of energy and information (movement, circulation)
- Conversion – Digestion, metabolism, and transformation of inputs
- Storage – Structure, stability, and preservation
These are represented as a triad, rooted in both Western engineering principles and Eastern system theory (mirroring Vata, Pitta, Kapha in Ayurveda).
Once you know your baseline state (the red dot) and your disturbed state (the black dot), you can assess whether a herb like Astragalus moves you toward or away from balance.
Astragalus and the System
From systems research:
- Astragalus increases Conversion
- Has minimal impact on Transport and Storage
What does this mean?
- If you’re low on Conversion (e.g., sluggish digestion, poor focus, low energy), Astragalus could support balance.
- If you’re already high on Conversion (e.g., overheating, fast metabolism, irritability), Astragalus might push you too far in that direction.
This isn’t guesswork—it’s the marriage of ancient wisdom + modern modeling. That’s what Your Body, Your System® brings to the table.
How to Know If Astragalus Is Right for You
Astragalus is not a magic pill—it’s a powerful compound with potential. But whether or not it’s right for you depends on many factors:
1. Dosage Recommendations from Clinical Studies
From scientific literature:
- Lung Health / Respiratory Infections:
→ 15 grams, twice a day (Zuo et al.) - Heart Health:
→ 2.25 grams, twice a day (Yang & Sun) - Fatigue Recovery (IV):
→ 500 mg, three times a day - Blood Sugar Support:
→ 40 to 60 grams daily (Tian et al.)
These studies use a wide range of forms: powders, decoctions, injections, highlighting the importance of context and formulation.
2. Potential Side Effects
While Astragalus is generally considered safe, especially when used as a food, it may cause:
- Stomach upset
- Itching or skin rash
- Nasal irritation
- Allergic reactions (rare)
If you experience these symptoms, especially in higher doses, consider discontinuing or reducing your intake.
Note: Always consult a qualified health professional if you’re on medication, pregnant, or managing a chronic illness.
3. Synergistic Interactions
Astragalus is often combined with other herbs:
- Black Cumin
- Licorice
- Mullein
- Peppermint
These combinations are now being scientifically analyzed using CytoSolve® to determine their true efficacy in synergy—something almost no pharmaceutical companies are doing.
CytoSolve®’s Open Science Model—A Scientific Revolution
In an era where academic integrity is often compromised by corporate funding, fake data, and peer review paywalls, CytoSolve®’s Open Science model is a breath of fresh air.
What is Open Science?
Open Science is about transparency, collaboration, and democratization. Instead of siloed research guarded by gatekeeping institutions, Open Science invites:
- Public participation in funding, reviewing, and tracking progress
- Open access to published models and results
- Decentralized contribution to knowledge development
This is not just a dream—it’s happening right now under the CytoSolve® Open Science Institute.
“We’re building science for the people, by the people, without the middlemen.”
— Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai
By leveraging this model, CytoSolve® avoids conflicts of interest and engages the global community in meaningful innovation, especially in areas like lung health, where traditional pharma has failed to deliver.
AsthmaSolve® —Nature Meets Systems Engineering
From the foundation laid by CytoSolve® and the systems approach to lung health, a new initiative is emerging: AsthmaSolve®.
What is AsthmaSolve®?
AsthmaSolve® is a science-based product under development that aims to:
- Address chronic inflammation and fibrosis in lung tissue
- Regulate mucus production naturally
- Personalize formulation through systems diagnostics
- Deliver results without side effects, unlike steroids or inhalers
Where Are We Now?
AsthmaSolve is currently in the Systems Architecture phase:
- Literature review complete (12,847+ studies on Astragalus alone!)
- Key pathways identified (Fibrosis, Inflammation, Hypermucus secretion)
- Modeling and simulation are underway
- Combination screening is soon to begin
Goal: To create a patentable, clinically effective, plant-based solution that works with your biology, not against it.
Unlike synthetic drugs that target one molecule and cause ten side effects, AsthmaSolve® aims to balance entire pathways using multiple synergistic compounds.
Fighting the Swarm—Science Meets Activism
This isn’t just a story of herbs and lungs—it’s a story of liberation.
The system—what Dr. Shiva calls the Swarm—doesn’t want you healthy, informed, or self-reliant. It wants you medicated, dependent, and distracted. Big Pharma, Big Media, Big Academia, and Big Government work hand-in-hand to push:
- Fear-based health narratives
- Profit-driven “research”
- Censorship of holistic alternatives
- Discrediting of indigenous knowledge
But here’s the good news: The Swarm is cracking.
People are waking up. They’re questioning authority. They’re turning to food as medicine, community-driven innovation, and real science. And platforms like CytoSolve® and Truth Freedom Health® are giving them the tools to fight back.
This isn’t about just healing your lungs—it’s about healing your agency.
You are not a lab rat. You are not a pharmaceutical subscriber. You are a living system. And that system deserves Truth Freedom Health.
The Science, the System, the Self
As we close this in-depth exploration of Astragalus, one truth becomes clear: health is not just biological—it is personal, political, and systemic. If you want real wellness, you must understand all three.
Here’s a quick recap of what we’ve uncovered:
The Science
- Astragalus contains over 21 scientifically studied compounds that regulate inflammation, reduce fibrosis, and decrease mucus secretion.
- These compounds work in synergy, not isolation, unlike single-molecule drugs.
- Astragalus influences major molecular pathways like TGF-β, NF-κB, IL-13, and ROS, the true culprits behind lung disease.
The System
- CytoSolve® offers a next-gen platform to model diseases as systems and formulate natural, personalized solutions.
- AsthmaSolve® is emerging as a case study in how natural medicine can be scientifically validated and personalized.
- Truth Freedom Health® empowers you to think independently and stop outsourcing your health to profit-driven institutions.
The Self
- Using tools like Your Body, Your System™, you can finally tune into what your body needs at a systems level—not just symptom level.
- You’re not just a user of this science—you can be a co-creator, contributor, and teacher in this health revolution.
The future of medicine isn’t in a pill bottle. It’s in your hands.

Truth Freedom Health®
But I want to talk a little about the Truth Freedom Health movement. And it’s interconnected. When we start looking at systems, we just went down through the biological system of Astragalus, and find how it affects the cellular aspects. So, far too long, what’s happened is in a dysfunctional way that people are fighting for truth, let’s say, you know, the scientists, let’s say, they want good science. And people want innovation. Well, those are the people you call nerds, and they’ve been in their own little corners. And then over here, you have the people fighting for freedom with supporting the Second Amendment and the First Amendment. And they’ve been over here. And then over here, you have the people fighting for health. Some people call these people…The health people being typically what some people call yoga nazis, right?
