RE:    HAWTHORNE BERRY

The Hawthorne berry (crataegus oxycantha) comes from a bushy, spiny
shrub or a small tree that produces brillant red clusters of berries that are
harvested in the fall.  The tree is native to the Mediterranean area and is
grown in all parts of the world now.  It has been said that this tree furnished
the crown of thorns prior to the execution of Christ.

The medicinal properties of the hawthorne berry deal primarily with the
heart.  It has been shown that this herb (the berry) has effectiveness in
treating both high and low blood pressure, rapid pulse, and arrythmic
heartbeat. 

It has also been shown that the hawthorne berry helps with coronary blood
flow, improvement of heart muscle contractions, as well as mild forms of
angina pectoris.

We use this wonderful herb in our product called Artherial A for any and all
heart related conditions including heart murmurs.  We couple this herb with
CQ10 which is an enzyme that has been shown to help build and aid the
heart muscle.  More on CQ10 in another discussion.

Arterial A Supplement is recommended for any age of pet suffering from
any type of heart ailment in an effort to build and strengthen the heart muscle.

Hawthorne Berry has been shown to work well with helping an elderly
pet regain health once the heart is stronger and can pump more oxygen
(among other nutrients) to the body cells.
