A Story of Healing with Life Force Energy
Reprinted from the Townsend Letter for Doctors & Patients
– A Medical Journal. By Dr. Morton Walker

At age 21, Mitchell May was involved in a near-fatal automobile accident. The very best of conventional allopathic medicine could not offer Mitchell any hope of his ever walking on his two legs again. Because of his massive injuries, attending physicians insisted that he must have his right leg amputated. They agreed that the young man’s immune system would be permanently and dangerously weakened and that his health and well-being would be severely limited for decades to come.

Mitchell would have none of this negative prognosis. Instead, he began what has become a lifelong search to find the many different methods of alternative healing that may restore an ill or traumatized person to wellness once again. During this period in 1972, the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) Medical Center, where Mitchell was hospitalized, had been conducting a special research project involving parapsychology. In a campus laboratory headed by Thelma Moss, PhD, ongoing experiments and investigations into the extrasensory abilities possessed by human beings were being recorded. One of the major studies was focusing on the apparent ability of some people to recover from illnesses or injuries even when the traditional Western medical community said it couldn’t be done.

Mitchell May became deeply involved with this laboratory, where he met one of its most exceptional and key participants, the healer Jack Gray. Under strict scientific parameters, even when all other medical and scientific methods had failed, Jack exhibited an extraordinary ability to help many ill and injured people to recover their health and well-being. Mitchell learned from Jack how to activate a powerful and natural healing “life force” that dwells within all of us. With Jack’s guidance, Mitchell was able to regenerate his critically injured nerves, bones, muscles and organs to a degree that medical science had said was impossible. His limbs were saved, and today Mitchell May rock climbs and takes regular hikes on mountain trails.

For seven years, Jack took Mitchell under his wing as his apprentice until the healer passed away. During that time, he taught Mitchell many of the different paths to awakening healing energy. Jack kindled in Mitchell a keen interest in subtle energy, states of consciousness, and alternative methods of healing, as well as the beneficial use of unusual natural substances such as plants, herbs and botanicals that have unique nourishing properties. This became the foundation for Mitchell’s intense research into cultivating the power of life force and its healing energy.

Having personally experienced the healing power of this life force, Mitchell began to investigate and create ways to help others to access and utilize it to help improve their lives. Among the many tools employed, Mitchell applied Kirlian photography (radiation-field photography), a method by which the “invisible” energy, or force fields, of all substances can be visually recorded and thereby studied. Mitchell became fascinated with the energy patterns that were revealed by Kirlian photography and other highly sensitive equipment and was one of the first people to research and photograph the extraordinarily beautiful and colorful world of energy patterns that were being revealed in herbs, grasses, algae, mushrooms, sprouted grains and many other edible and natural substances.

Natural food substances emanate energy patterns that may be seen in the form of visible color coronas when photographed using Kirlian technology. In Mitchell’s research to create a regenerative superfood formula, he searched the world for those natural foods that have very special and particular energy patterns. When taken into one’s body, these foods become a contributing part of the molecular and metabolic structures, and thus become a powerful energy resource for enhancing one’s health and well-being. His research and experiments were strongly leading to the conclusion that consuming certain very specific plants, botanicals, algae and other natural substances could significantly help one in maintaining or in coming back to homeostasis (proper alignment, balance and overall vital health).

During this time as part of his research, Mitchell tried nearly every commercial nutritional product available, only to discover that none of them delivered what he sought or what he believed was possible. For this reason, he took it upon himself to find the most potent, balanced and perfect synergistic combination of beneficial natural, organically farmed nutritional substances. For the past 30 years, Mitchell has been conducting experiments. He undertook exhaustive searches to secure, test and view superfoods from around the world using the latest versions of Kirlian technology, photomicrography and polarized light field photography. Fortunately, he was connected with Dr. Thelma Moss’s parapsychology research laboratory at UCLA and so had access to testing equipment, knowledgeable authorities in the field, and other university resources.

Along with photographing the energy patterns of natural foods and other nutritional substances, Mitchell performed worldwide literature searches and interviewed many of the leading nutritionists, physicists, health professionals, alternative healing practitioners and other authorities about these superfoods and his personal research findings. His goal was to find, test and document those special superfoods that had the most potential to assist with human health and well-being. As part of his research, he discovered new methods for keeping the vital energy alive in foods. It was one thing to find these superfoods and quite another for him to learn how to retain the potency so that, at the time of consumption, the foods still retain that life-enhancing quality. Mitchell went to great lengths to ensure that the unique and valuable properties of these superfoods were not lost in harvesting or preparation.

Mitchell’s years of research led him to create his own superfood formula. As part of his own testing, he lived on this product of his experiments almost exclusively for over two years. During this time, he continued his experiments with the formulation, always seeking that synergy that would take the performance of a nutritional superfood to a whole new level. After 15 years of research, he created the nutritional formula for which he was searching—Pure Synergy.

Mitchell’s Pure Synergy formulation evolved over all those years of testing and research into a blend of nature’s most potent and nourishing foods, including such ingredients as rare, organically grown algae, organic cold- or freeze-dried green juices and vegetables, organic Asian herbs, organically grown and freeze-dried Western herbs, organically grown Asian mushrooms, natural plant enzymes, multiple antioxidants and many other special ingredients.

Seeing how Mitchell’s health thrived and his regenerative process was so supported by the Pure Synergy superfood formula, his colleagues and fellow healthcare practitioners began asking him to share it with them. From taking Pure Synergy, they too experienced increased energy, mental clarity, physical vitality and a renewed sense of well-being. Word-of-mouth requests for Pure Synergy grew to such an extent that Mitchell formed The Synergy Company to meet this ever-increasing demand. He now makes Pure Synergy at his own production facility, which is certified to manufacture organic and kosher products.

Michael Whelan, DC, clinic director at “Vitalistic Healing Arts” in Laguna Hills, California, uses Pure Synergy every day, as does his flight attendant wife Patti, and their two children.

“I have been taking nutritional supplements since I was 15 years old, but compared to anything else I’ve ever tried, Pure Synergy, which has been part of my daily food program for years, is the best that I’ve ever come across. I use it for many different reasons that I could cite that relate to ensuring good health. The first attraction to me is that it makes a huge difference in the increased amount of energy I feel after drinking it,” says Dr. Whelan. “I’m 53 years old, run 50 miles a week, participate in marathons, was a bodybuilder and generally am very active. My being a vegetarian, this green superfood addresses some of the issues relating to amino acids that I’m not getting from meat. It contains 22 of the amino acids, including all the essential ones.”

“My patients love Pure Synergy and ask for it on their own. It has a better flavor than the barley grass and wheat grass juices or any of the other types.” Dr. Whelan says, “This isn’t any multilevel-marketed item but gets dispensed at a fair price for all the work that Mitchell May has put into producing it.”

“Pure Synergy comes closest to the most perfect food ever developed by man. With so many pollutants in our environment, this product is absolutely necessary for enhancement of one’s health. There are times when I’ve awakened in the morning and not felt tip top, but 20 minutes after I’ve taken Pure Synergy, a nice feeling of well-being comes over me. Unlike any other food item, it elevates my mood and offers a mental and emotional uplift because the ingredients are so extraordinarily nourishing,” Dr. Whelan says.

Ordinarily, one heaping tablespoonful of Pure Synergy powder is added to 8 or 10 ounces of water and/or juice and consumed on an empty stomach for the best nutrient absorption. Another favorite recipe calls for mixing Pure Synergy in a blender with bananas, berries or other fruits for producing a mid-morning or late-afternoon smoothie. Just as with Dr. Whelan, the experience of this author is that the abundant energy pickup, greater stamina, better mental alertness, improved digestion and elimination one experiences with such a drink are truly gratifying.

The collective and exceptional ingredients in Pure Synergy are kosher, 100% vegetarian, organic, seasonally harvested, cold-ground, fresh freeze-dried or cold-dried, concentrated, tested and produced using good manufacturing practices at The Synergy Company’s own award-winning production facility. The Synergy Company has worked to set a whole new standard of excellence, and many nutritionists believe that Pure Synergy is the most complete, comprehensive and synergistically balanced superfood available. Its quality, integrity and potency of ingredients and the care with which they are handled, processed and packaged create a superfood formula with unmatched quality and effectiveness. Pure Synergy is made with organic ingredients, which are approved by a third-party organic certifier. What follows is an overview of Pure Synergy’s ingredients and some of the extraordinary measures that are taken to deliver such an exceptional product.

Synergized ® Algae consists of handpicked, 100% fresh freeze-dried or cold-dried algae, which are aquatic plants with an extraordinary ability to transform the sun’s energy into essential nutrients. The algae in Pure Synergy include organic spirulina, organic Pure Klamath Crystals, Pure Chlorella, organic Dunaliella salina and organic wakame, digitata kelp, dulse, bladderwrack, laver and kombu. Such a comprehensive array of algae has much to offer, starting with a full amino acid profile, high chlorophyll content and exceptional chelation properties, which enable the algae to bind with heavy metals and other impurities and cleanse them from the body. Also, these algae possess an abundance of carotenoids, including beta-carotene, which can bolster the immune system and help protect a person from free radicals and the sun’s radiation. For vegetarians, algae furnish high levels of critically necessary protein, iron and vitamin B12. These aquatic plants possess precursors to neuropeptides, neurotransmitters and glycogen, which can help to nourish and enhance brain activity.

All of Pure Synergy’s algae are carefully harvested according to Mitchell’s exact specifications. They are either harvested from natural and protected pristine environments or grown in highly advanced pharmaceutical laboratories. The algae in Pure Synergy are the purest, freshest and highest quality available. Many medical and nutritional experts believe that algae will play a critical role in enhancing health care and in helping to feed the world in the 21st century because they:

(1) have such a rich nutritional profile, including substantial amounts of protein,

(2) offer proven protection against general systemic toxicity,

(3) act as powerful antioxidants,

(4) help to strengthen the immune system, and

(5) grow very rapidly when given proper conditions, often reproducing themselves within 24 hours.

Synergized Phytonutrients & Enzymes contains a special blend of organic fruits and organic sprouts that contribute important enzymes and food cofactors that are deficient in most people’s diets. Vibrantly colored apples and berries are a rich source of potent, protective antioxidant phytonutrients, including quercetin, ellagic and phenolic acids, anthocyanins and proanthocyanins. It is now believed that these phytonutrients are responsible for a wide variety of health-protective benefits. By freeze-drying the berries, Mitchell is able to fully preserve and concentrate their crucial phytonutrient compounds. The fruit and sprout blend also provides several vital enzymes that act as catalysts for numerous metabolic processes, such as digestion, assimilation and internal cleansing. As always, extensive research, including Kirlian photography, helped Mitchell to find the most biologically viable and potent ingredients, the methods for naturally preserving their quality, and the optimal combination. Pure Synergy’s enzyme component includes organic freeze-dried sprouts (natural antioxidants), organic whole apple, organic freeze-dried blueberries and raspberries, green papaya (papain) and other natural, plant-derived enzymes, including amylase (for sugars), cellulase (for cellulose), lipase (for fats) and protease (for protein).

Synergized Asian Mushrooms & Herbs is a component of Pure Synergy that began with Mitchell’s study of the ancient knowledge of Taoist practitioners in their quest for the creation and utilization of life force energy. Four organically grown Asian mushrooms, referred to by Taoists as the mushrooms of immortality, are present in significant amounts in Pure Synergy and are joined with the immunosupportive Brazilian mushroom, Agaricus blazei. All of Pure Synergy’s mushrooms are grown on organic millet in a controlled environment.

The Synergy Company pioneered the use of Asian mushrooms in superfood formulas and has a complete spectrum of these valuable mushrooms in its Pure Synergy formulation. The National Institutes of Health is currently doing extensive research into the immune-enhancing and cancer prevention potential of many of the same mushrooms that Pure Synergy contains. Because mushrooms naturally attract toxins from their surrounding environment, all the mushrooms in Pure Synergy are grown in a sterile environment. They are tested for heavy metal and pesticide contamination and must meet the Japanese pharmaceutical standards, the most stringent standards in the world.

Pure Synergy also offers a comprehensive and highly valued traditional Asian formula, composed of organic herbs that have been used in a synergistic combination for over 2,000 years to restore and maintain vibrant health. The same ancient and regenerative formula that Mitchell has adapted and refined specifically for Pure Synergy is in use today by hospitals that practice and research traditional Asian medicine. These particular herbs are exclusively produced for The Synergy Company by a modern pharmaceutical laboratory using methods that preserve their quality and potency. This company uses advanced pure water–extraction technology to concentrate and standardize Pure Synergy’s organic herbs (it takes approximately 70 pounds of fresh-picked herbs to produce one pound of Pure Synergy Asian herbs). The Asian mushrooms and herbs included in Pure Synergy are shiitake, reishi, maitake, cordyceps, agaricus, Siberian ginseng, astragalus, goji berries, tang-kuei, Atractylodes macrocephala, rehmannia, codonopsis, fo-ti, poria, Chinese peony, polygala, Ligusticum wallichii, jujube, ginger, schizandra, tangerine peel and licorice.

Synergized Green Juices is a blend of numerous 100% juice powders and whole vegetable powders. Pure Synergy exclusively uses only the highest-quality and purest 100% juice powders made from certified organically grown, spring-harvested grasses that are dried by using a proprietary CO2 cold-temperature process that preserves the enzymes and nutritional bioactivity. The Synergized Green Juices blend includes organic wheat grass juice, barley grass juice, oat grass juice and alfalfa grass juice and organic, freeze-dried, whole-leaf parsley, spinach, kale and collard, which are loaded with protein, enzymes, natural fiber, minerals, vitamins and chlorophyll.

Synergized Western Herbs is a unique and nutritious blend of certified organic herbs. Most of these herbs are grown especially for The Synergy Company. The Synergy Company uses only certified organic Western herbs to ensure that they have not been sprayed with any chemicals, pesticides, toxic agents, or any other potentially poisonous or otherwise harmful substances.

Upon harvest, Pure Synergy’s Western herbs are carefully freeze-dried in a complete vacuum at very low temperatures. Freeze-drying herbs to exact specifications is very expensive, yet scientific research has shown that it is the most effective way to preserve and protect the many therapeutic and valuable nutrients in these herbs. Freeze-drying herbs ensures that the critical and powerful phytochemicals, such as essential oils, bioflavonoids, polysaccharides and enzymes, remain fully viable and bioactive.

The eight herbs include nettle, Ginkgo biloba, red clover, burdock, yellow dock, skullcap, dandelion and rose hips. The use of this collection of herbs is based on the considerable research Mitchell did into Native healing traditions and on his extensive consultations with respected and highly accomplished herbalists.

Synergized Natural Antioxidants is a proprietary formulation that naturally preserves the viability of highly sensitive nutritional components. Because oxygen, light and heat can so easily depreciate the nutritional value of foods, it is essential to protect and prevent the deterioration of the ingredients in a superfood to ensure that the full value of the formula will be safely and naturally preserved for the consumer. Mitchell researched this subject in depth and includes in Pure Synergy one of the first all-natural preservatives ever to be used. Pure Synergy’s Natural Antioxidants blend includes organic rosemary, clove, and sage, and naturally derived vitamin E from sunflower.

Extra care is taken in Pure Synergy’s production to ensure that there is no dilution, deterioration or loss of the exceptional nutritional value of Pure Synergy.

There are many quality control standards and measures implemented by The Synergy Company to enhance, maintain and guarantee the potency and effectiveness of Pure Synergy. For example:

(1) There are no fillers used, such as apple pectin, rice bran, flax meal, barley malt, maltodextrin, apple fiber, grass fiber powders and other low-cost items that add bulk and fiber but little nourishment.

(2) Ingredients are obtained directly from Synergy’s exclusive farmers, growers and other producers. Mitchell is involved in the growing, harvesting and preparation of all of Pure Synergy’s components.

(3) All drying, milling and processing of Pure Synergy’s vulnerable, heat-sensitive ingredients is done using special, cold-processing equipment.

(4) Each ingredient in Pure Synergy comes with an official laboratory certificate of analysis. In addition, every ingredient is tested for purity at an independent, FDA-regulated and USDA-certified laboratory. Pure Synergy’s ingredients are collectively put through over 600 stringent laboratory tests for quality control with every fresh batch produced. The standards set by The Synergy Company for Pure Synergy meet or exceed all FDA guidelines in the industry.

(5) Pure Synergy is packaged only in glass, the only packaging material that 100% blocks the entrance of oxygen and the subsequent deterioration and oxidation of ingredients. All bottles of Pure Synergy contain a special packet designed to absorb any residual oxygen. These bottles are then sealed using laser induction technology, which positively ensures a perfectly oxygen-free atmosphere with a hermetic seal. In addition, because light is also responsible for adding to nutrient loss, Pure Synergy bottles are protectively amber colored.

(6) All blending and bottling is done at The Synergy Company’s own certified organic and kosher, FDA-registered facility pursuant to good manufacturing practices and Synergy’s own quality management system.

(7) Mitchell and others at The Synergy Company participate in every aspect of the manufacturing process.

(8) Pure Synergy is stored in a climate-controlled environment until the time of shipment.

(9) The Synergy Company sells only direct to consumers and select healthcare providers and is not available through typical retail channels or multilevel marketing structures.

Pure Synergy is designed to nourish the whole person, support total health, create a sense of well-being and strengthen the immune system. As evidenced by the many people who regularly take the product, it can have tangible benefits for nearly anyone. Here is a brief listing of some of the benefits that many individuals who use Pure Synergy have reported:

• Gives support for healthy, active people by increasing energy and vitality.
• Helps to focus the mind and stimulate mental clarity.
• Aids in potent cellular cleansing.
• Provides antioxidant properties for specific health programs.
• Offers ongoing defense against the pollution, stress and impurities of today’s world.
• Furnishes deep-level nourishment for people engaged in a healing process.
• Assists in recovery and endurance for athletes in training.
• Increases vigor and overall well-being in senior citizens.

Along with his many responsibilities, including teaching, consulting with doctors and patients, and producing Pure Synergy, Mitchell May is still very active with his ongoing research projects. Given requests from so many people, Mitchell intends over time to introduce other valuable products that emerge from his findings. After several years of development, he created Organic Vita•Min•Herb (formerly called Vita Synergy), the first organic whole-food vitamin, mineral and herbal formula; Pure Radiance C, the first organic, 100% natural, whole-food vitamin C; Healing Honey, certified organic Active 15+ Manuka Honey; and certified organic Pure Klamath Crystals. Stay tuned to the groundbreaking work that will continue to come from Mitchell May and The Synergy Company.
