Why am I doing this?
Because I am sure that after you read this e-Book, you’ll be convinced that ShenTrition is for you and you’ll order it!
Oh yeah, one last thing: as a practicing physician, one of the most common questions I hear is, “Is there just one supplement that I can take that would cover it all?”
The answer is “no!”
However, if I was on a deserted island and I could only bring one supplement….
ShenTrition is that supplement!
It would be nice if there were a magic bullet, but that just isn’t so. Even with adaptogens and their amazing restorative abilities, the fact is, in order to enhance the body’s natural healing power we must take a holistic approach.
We are offering a 100% satisfaction guarantee!

Discover the "Secret" to Healing!
From The Desk of Stephen D. Rogers, MS AP
Hello Friend,
Yes, it is possible to have optimum health, increase your quality of life, and heal your body without the costly expense of surgery or lifetime reliance on drugs. The Chinese have been doing it for over five thousands years. And, it's a lot easier than you may think!
Look at the statistics. When it comes to contracting the major diseases — such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke or cancer — the Chinese have much lower rates than we do here in the United States. Plus, if you factor out the infant mortality statistics, then overall the Chinese generally live much longer than we do in the US, and with more quality years.
So, what is the ancient secret for healing???
Actually, there is no secret!
It’s just a mystery to those of us who don’t know the details. In fact, healing is one of the most obvious processes on the planet. We just take it for granted, that is, until we get sick!
Think about this:
if you cut or bruise your body, it heals without any diagnosis or treatment. It’s automatic.
So, you see…we all have tremendous “healing power” within our bodies;
essentially, our bodies are hard-wired for healing!
The Chinese call this healing power, qi (pronounced chee).
Qi is our lifeforce or the electromagnetic energy that powers every function of the body. In fact, it is the animating force of the body itself.
Every system in our body, whether it be the cardiovascular, reproductive, musculoskeletal, integumentary, digestive, eliminative, nervous, endocrine, urinary, or the lymphatic system, rely on the stable and abundant flow of lifeforce. Without it, we quickly become imbalanced, then dis-eased, and ultimately die.
Throughout our body is a network of bioelectric circuits, better known as acupuncture meridians. Lifeforce flows in these circuits. Along these circuits are acupoints where the lifeforce is transformed and re-routed to the tissues, cells, and organs for nourishment. Conceptually, these circuits and acupoints are similar to the transportation grid in a city. The roads and highways represent the lifeforce circuits, while the acupoints represent the intersections of roads.
When driving, the intersections are where we typically experience the most traffic congestion. Similarly, in our bodies, the acupoints are where the most lifeforce congestion occurs. To clear these obstructions, an acupuncturist inserts needles into the acupoints to treat the obstructions thereby restoring the flow of lifeforce back to normal.
When there’s too much congestion in an acupoint, it's similar to a kink impeding the flow of water through a water hose — one side of the hose becomes limp, while the other side gets rigid. When an acupoint is congested — one side of the circuit is deficient of lifeforce, while the other side is excessive in lifeforce. This imbalance of lifeforce then affects all of the systems negatively, because each system’s vitality is nourished by the balanced flow of lifeforce in the circuits.
So, now we know why some diseases heal and others do not…
Read on to discover how you can heal faster, increase your life expectancy, boost your energy level, better maintain homeostasis, improve your mental clarity, strengthen your immune system, and handle stress easier — naturally — TODAY.
Are you battling with chronic illness, stress, poor immune function, pre-mature aging, or feeling just plain tired, then we've got just the thing for you!
I agree with the old school approach. We should focus most of our attention on the prevention of disease and general wellness, not the treatment of symptoms.
That's exactly what I did!
My devotion, energy, and attention went into preventative health care, holistic wellness and spiritual growth. If you ask me how to treat this-or-that disease, I'm not much help; however, if you ask me how to prevent disease or how to enhance overall health and well-being and the healing potential (LIFEforce) of the body, then I am your man.
I am an expert in healing, prevention and wellness!
Why?
Because, I've spent the better part of the last 20 years engrossed in personal and professional practice in holistic healing and wellness. More importantly, I built an entire holistic wellness system, called Shen Life, of which adaptogenic herbs are a crucial component.
So, I would like to extend a “healing package special offer” to you.
And this really is for a limited time!
Modern farming practices in the US have depleted the soil terribly. Because of this, our food is severely deficient of the much needed, life-enhancing nutrients. To boot, the average diet in America consists mainly of fatty foods, refined carbohydrates, genetically-modified foods, sugar and chemical additives.
Most of us now realize the important role of nutrition in healing the body and in keeping us healthy. Even the government has revised its new dietary recommendations to include up to 13 servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Unfortunately, most people do not follow those suggestions for various reasons.
Luckily, ShenTrition can make a huge impact on our daily dietary recommendations. ShenTrition goes beyond normal nutrition and offers a truly healing experience. It does so by providing powerful nutrients that most of us simply do not have in our usual diet.
With that said...we still need to eat a sound, balanced, and healthy diet to make sure we are getting everything we need.
So, here’s the deal. I am offering a unique Healing Package...
1. An audio of my Wholistic Nutritional Seminar for FREE.
This educational seminar is a snippet from my Shen Life Teachings.
I am giving you over twenty years of holistic nutrition knowledge and experience for FREE to ensure you are getting everything you need in your nutritional program. In this cutting edge seminar, I break down what I call Nutrition Made Simple. After listening to this audio, you’ll learn how to eat healthy and balanced, and achieve your ideal weight as easy as 1, 2, 3!
Tap into new levels of feeling good and be on your
way to health, happiness and well-being!
To attend this day seminar in person would cost you over
$100.00, but you’ll get it FREE in this Healing Package!
$100.00, but you’ll get it FREE in this Healing Package!
Hold on, I have more to give.
In addition to eating well, there are other things we need to do in order to create the right conditions for healing. This is why I am offering you another one of our incredible cutting edge seminars for FREE.
2. To complement the Wholistic Nutrition Seminar,
I'm offering you the Shen Kinetics Program on DVD for FREE!
In this class, you’ll learn the basics of mindful movement, which is a crucial component to stimulating the healing power within your body. The video covers the Basic Maintenance Series. It consists of a series of flowing movements that combine the best of yoga, core exercise, strength training, and postural alignment.
Hold up, I’m not done yet.
In addition to eating well and exercising, there
are other things we need to do in order to create
the right conditions for healing. This is why I am
offering you another one of our incredible cutting
edge programs for FREE.
3. Besides the Wholistic Nutrition Seminar and the Shen Kinetics DVD,
I'm providing you my Shen Robics Workshop on CD for FREE!
This audio covers the basics for healthy breathing, which is another crucial component to stimulating the healing power within the body. The importance of breathing is one of the most overlooked aspects of the healing process. We can go without water for days and without food for weeks, but without breath even a few minutes will lead to death.
Considering the importance of healthy breathing,
I’m including our Shen Robics CD as a part of
your Healing Package
...yes, for FREE!
your Healing Package

With all of these educational programs, you will have the best possible chance for creating the right conditions for healing.

but in this crazy offer everything is yours for FREE in the Healing Package!
Here comes the irresistible part.
I realize that you don’t know me, and it can be difficult making a purchasing decision online. I want you to feel better and to tell your friends about ShenTrition, so…
I’m going to make you a “crazy” offer:
I’ll send you the entire Healing Package
with a month’s supply of ShenTrition risk-free!
Here’s how it works:
Simply pay for a month's supply and give ShenTrition a try for a couple of weeks or so.
If, for some strange reason, you don’t love how you feel after taking ShenTrition, then send it back within 30 days, and then you will be refunded your expense, $47.00. Plus, you can keep all of the informational discs! They are yours for simply trying ShenTrition.
If you try it and love it, like so many others do, then you can
sign up for the monthly auto-supply.
Why am I giving away the ranch so to speak?
Well, Erica and I racked our brains for the best way to let people know about ShenTrition. Frankly, we decided that this "wholistic" offer is the quickest way to help people discover and experience the benefits of ShenTrition. We’re cutting out the middlemen and coming straight to you, so you get the medicinal quality of ShenTrition at an affordable health store price.
Sure, this is risky, but then again there’s the saying, no risk = no reward!
Besides, I am so sure you’ll love ShenTrition and what it does for you that you’ll keep using it well after your first bottle, plus I’m willing to bet you’ll tell your friends about it too!
To recap, this is what you’ll get in this Special Healing Package Offer.
With your first bottle of ShenTrition:
- Our monthly newsletter that highlights holistic wellness and personal development at no cost
- Our E-book, The Ultimate Healing Book: The Amazing Healing Power of Adaptogens
- And, an audio recording of my Wholistic Nutrition Seminar.
- And, a video of the Shen Kinetics, Basic Maintenance Series.
- And, an audio recording of my Shen Robics Breathing Meditation Workshop.
Add these special gifts to the price of a month’s supply of ShenTrition and
you'd be paying a whopping $397.00.
Here is a little known fact that has been lost to the more modern ways of doing things in Oriental Medicine...
Over a hundred years ago, when someone sought treatment from a Doctor of Oriental Medicine, the doctor first sent the patient home with a laundry list of lifestyle changes before giving any other form of treatment. Physicians knew that most, if not all, of their symptoms (chief complaints) were the result of poor lifestyle habits. Therefore, in suggesting lifestyle changes, they were creating the "right conditions" for healing to take place, rather than the treatment of symptoms. Plus, there was a rule: if a doctor treated a patient and the illness returned, then the doctor was required to reimburse the patient for any expenses that the patient incurred. In demanding the patient's accountability, physicians increased the chances for healing and protected their bank accounts.
Imagine if this system was still practiced today.
Just listen to what the experts have to say about ShenTrition!
(BTW: These aren't paid endorsements, these testimonials are from real experts, people just like you who used the product to heal themselves and continue to use it to maintain optimum health.)

"I attribute my very good health and continuous remission of MS to the benefits provided by ShenTrition. For nearly twelve months ShenTrition has been part of my daily regime. First thing, every day, I mix up some ShenTrition with water and chug. The unique blend of greens, Chinese herbs and hemp protein work around the clock to cool my already over-heated body. My health has improved ten-fold as proof in my recent photography shoot in the heat of the Galapagos Islands...a trip I once thought impossible.

Actually, I cannot even imagine not continuing to take ShenTrition after I climbed Mt. Whitney, as I'm discovering that it's not just fuel for hiking, but that it is one of my fundamental ingredients for excellent health and well-being!!!"
~ Raneil Alonzo, Los Angeles, CA
"I loved working with Stephen to create ShenTrition, because it was an answer to my personal health concerns too. Growing up, I had a tendency to burn the candle at both ends and by the time I got through college, I was burnt out. Most notable was my loss of mojo...my libido just shut down and I noticed that related to my general loss of energy and depression. Since enjoying the evolution of our wellness formula, I am most excited that ShenTrition helped me bring sexy back."

~ Suzanne Nelson, Kalispell, MT
"The past few years have been more stressful as I watch my father's health deteriorate dramatically due to cancer. Since I've been taking ShenTrition, my general mood and energy levels are much higher. I just feel more alive."
~ Eric Bruer, Bigfork, MT
√ Quality & Integrity Come First!
When I looked back at the piles of supplements I tried over the years, personally and professionally, I knew that there had to be a better way. It's not practical to keep a pharmacy in your pantry, nor is it financially prudent.
You can probably relate...it's confusing to choose the right supplement.
If you are currently taking a supplement and you don't feel or see the effects, or it takes months to see results, then either the product is weak in its potency or it's of poor quality.
There is a better way!
ShenTrition provides medicinal strength herb power in a wellness supplement!
I've built upon the masterful formulas the famous Yellow Emperor and Taoist Masters used for their amazing health and longevity, and combined this knowledge with the modern nutritional science that's has already assisted millions of people in improving their health and distilled the latest research on herbs into a product so powerful, it will knock your socks off.
You can feel and see the results!
The more popular adaptogenic supplements on the market contain somewhere between 500-750 mg of adaptogenic herbs per dose. In ShenTrition, you get 5600 mg of adaptogens per dose. That is ten times more adaptogens than the store bought products!
As I said before, quality and potency are of the highest level in ShenTrition. I am very proud of that!
In fact, that's why you won't find ShenTrition on the shelves of major health food stores. I put so much into ensuring the integrity of the product...against popular wisdom. I wanted the product to be everything it says it is, and more. When my wife and I shifted from private practice to the general marketplace, we had to search for a manufacturing laboratory to assemble ShenTrition. We needed the ability to mass market it. Well, let's just say we were a bit naïve.
I encountered several objections, one of which was, "Oh you can't create a product like that...not with the milligram dosage that high." I asked why, and was told it’s because the cost to get it on the shelves at major health food stores would be too high if manufactured the way I wanted. Typically, to get the price per unit lower, retailers will use a lower dose of each of the ingredients, and add cellulose fiber as a filler to reduce the overall cost per unit. That way, they can get it to the stores cheap enough to make profit.
When beginning, I didn't know about using cellulose fiber as a filler to cut cost. I am a physician and teacher, not a marketer or retail merchant. My vision was to provide super-potent products to get people better!
Sure we all need to make money. And in their defense, some retail merchants have come up with great products. However, I'll put my money on a physician every time — someone who has fine-tuned and improved their product in a healing practice with thousand of patients...with the goal, to first heal, and, second, to make a profit.
And ShenTrition does just that - it gets people well!!!
Just take a look at what is in ShenTrition:
ShenTrition contains an abundance of vitamins, minerals, essential phytochemicals, and unique nutrients that are needed to promote vibrant health.
With its abundant use of adaptogens, ShenTrition provides a wide spectrum of healing benefits. Some of which are:
- Increases energy
- Calms the mind
- Improves the healing process
- Lowers stress
- Strengthens libido
- Nourish all the tissues and every cell of the body
- Builds blood
- Helps establish a healthy pH balance
- Tonifies all the organ systems

- Boosts the immune system

- Strengthens bones and cartilage
- Improves teeth & gums
- Deactivates harmful free-radicals
- Detoxifies poisons and rid them from the body
- Removes heavy metals from the body
- Returns youthful glow
- And on and on and on!
To sum it all up, ShenTrition, because of its unique combination of superfoods, organic hemp protein, alkalizing greens, and adaptogenic herbs, helps
BOOST your body's own natural healing power, LIFEforce.
When lifeforce is stable, abundant and uninterrupted, BALANCE is restored, and the myriad of symptoms we call dis-ease are transformed and healed.
Never before has such up-to-date herbal research been made so simple and enjoyable. All you need to do to heal your body, mind and Spirit is...
"Scoop, Stir and Drink!"
Heal Faster & Maintain Homeostasis with Foods that Heal - Adaptogenic Herbs - one of the best ways to deal with stress by improving balance
Let me pause to tell you right now if you are expecting this to be some variation of a green or superfoods supplement, just banish the thought!
ShenTrition is based on the ancient wisdom of Chinese Medicine and the latest research in modern nutrition. It takes the knowledge of modern nutrition, "Feeding the body what it needs," and combined it with the ancient wisdom of the East, "Heal the body with foods," namely, with the Adaptogenic Herbs.
I combined the tissue-building properties of organic hemp protein with the alkalizing and energizing benefits found in greens and superfoods into a delivery system for the healing properties of the adaptogens. This balances ShenTrition in two respects:
- ·1. The formula’s organic hemp protein, superfoods and alkalizing greens help keep the blood-sugar stable and provide a healthy snack, and
- ·2. They act as a powerful delivery system for the amazing adaptogens.
Plus, I made absolutely sure that ShenTrition is tasty!
ShenTrition is the most comprehensive and potent adaptogenic-based supplement available...just take a look at some of the amazing ingredients!
American Ginseng
By far the most popular adaptogen, Ginseng (pronounced "gin-sing") is considered the most lucrative legal crop in the world. Ginseng has been used for thousands of years to prevent and cure an extraordinary amount of problems, from premature aging, to low libido, low energy and cancer. It can, to a certain extent, be supported with scientific research regarding its anti-carcinogenic and antioxidant properties. American Ginseng is the best variety of the ginsengs because of its neutral healing properties.
Astragalus

Gynostemma is the all-time stress-fighting botanical. Gynostemma calms the mind, eases tension in the body, and increases vitality and energy; plus, it acts as an anti-inflammatory and powerful immune tonic.
Licorice
Licorice Root has been used for thousands of years to rid the body of unwanted toxins, increase energy, and harmonize herbal formulations. It is one of the most commonly used adaptogens.
Fo Ti
Also called Polygonum Multiflorum Root, it has incredible rejuvenative effects. It is often used to bring about mental clarity and to invigorate the brain. However, its real claim to fame is its ability to restore youth to a tired, old body! In China, it is said to help return an aged person to youthfulness.
Reishi Mushroom
Reishi is one of the most powerful, potent tonic herbs known to man. It is an immune booster as well as a mood regulator. It is widely used among meditators for calming the mind and inducing expanded states of consciousness.
Shiitake Mushroom
Shiitake mushroom, one of the most highly prized botanicals of Chinese and Japanese herbalism, is used to improve energy, blood circulation, and strengthen the body as a whole.
Ashwagandha
Ancient physicians have used ashwagandha for everything from hiccups to cancer. No doubt it has impressive adaptogenic properties. This powerful herb is one of the best adaptogenic herbs for restoring homeostasis!
Lycium
It is said that Lycium will brighten the eyes, promote happiness, and strengthen vitality, plus, it is a strong sexual tonic! In essence, it restores and builds the hormones that keep us vital and youthful!
Rhodiola
The story goes that those who regularly took Rhodiola lived to see 100 years. Science has now proven this herb to have powerful longevity attributes, and helps control stressful situations that lead to chronic diseases. Rhodiola also has been observed by researchers to have a potent detoxing effect on the body's systems.
Royal Jelly
Dr. Paavo Airola, long considered America's foremost nutritionist and a leading world authority on holistic health and biological medicine, states, "Bee Pollen is the richest and most complete food in nature. It increases the body's resistance to stress and disease and also speeds up the healing process in most conditions of ill health. Bee Pollen also possesses age-retarding and rejuvenating properties. Truly, Bee Pollen is a miracle food, a wonder medicine and a true fountain of youth."
Gotu Kola
Gotu Kola boosts the body's energy reserves, thus strengthening the brain. This is why it is referred to as a brain tonic. This action of boosting the brain by revitalizing the body's energy is known as the "secret of immortality."
Siberian Ginseng
Siberian Ginseng strengthens sexual performance, builds energy and stamina, and improves mental abilities. It was given its fame by Russian Olympians who used it to expedite the recovery process from over-training.

The medical industry would be built around healing and prevention versus treatment of dis-ease.
What causes an imbalance?
There are several causes, namely: genetics, severity of injury or disease, poor lifestyle, emotional imbalance, and environmental issues. However, by far, the biggest reason for imbalance is “stress.”
What causes stress?
Everything! Change!
All life experiences or change bring about stress — a state of non-ease — which can be simply called, dis-ease!
Stress can manifest mentally, emotionally, physically, or environmentally; regardless of how stress originates, it affects all parts of our being, especially the immune system.
The American Medical Association confirms that stress is the #1 cause of all dis-ease.
We now know through years and years of research that the four big killers — cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke — all have their origins in stress.
My years of practice in alternative medicine confirm this statistic to be absolutely true! I treated everything from migraine headaches to sleep disorders to digestive problems. And, all in all, I must say that most disorders have their origins in stress. Even in those few maladies I treated that didn't originate from stress, the recovery was certainly affected by stress.
However, we are speaking about a specific kind of stress...because not all stress is bad!
In fact, we need stress.
Stress motivates us to grow and mature into healthy functional adults. This advantageous type of stress that I am talking about is called eu-stress. Eustress is anabolic in nature — meaning, it builds us up and makes us stronger, like muscles growing from lifting weights.
We've all heard the saying, "what doesn't kill me makes me stronger."
It's another kind of stress that creates all kinds of problems — di-stress. Distress is catabolic in nature and breaks us down; essentially, it puts us in a state of un-ease or dis-ease!
Distress is at the core of all disease!
You are probably thinking, "Well, how do I differentiate between eustress and distress?"
There is no difference...both are stress!
The way we metabolize, or react, to our life experiences (stressors) determines whether it becomes eustress or distress.
Coincidentally, the Chinese character for "crisis" is the same one for "opportunity." The reason for this is simple. What one person views as an opportunity for growth, another sees as a tragic crisis. The exact same experience is metabolized as eustress by one person, while it is processed as distress by the other.
The amazing thing is, the Chinese are just as stressed as we are here in the US, in many ways even more so. So, why do they have better health overall?
That’s what I asked years ago, and then I figured it out.
Go to any Asian community in any major city in the US, you'll see several, likely dozens, small herb shops lining the streets. Most of these stores are pretty busy too. Before becoming a Physician of Oriental Medicine, I used to wonder: "How can all of these herbal stores stay in business when they're competing with each other right next door?"
While studying in an Oriental Medicine College, I realized why.
There is an old Chinese proverb that states,
"Healing a sick person is like digging a well when you are already thirsty."
That saying is absolutely correct!
Healing any disease is a full-time undertaking. You probably know a friend or family member who's spent countless hours and dollars fighting an illness. Just think of the last time you got sick. Remember how your time was occupied with getting well? Perhaps you missed a few days of work or had to postpone a family engagement?
Well, the Chinese live by the old adage,
...it's due to the imbalance of lifeforce.
Preventative health care is an integral part of their culture and has been for thousands of years.
The Chinese understand the value of health and avoiding disease altogether. It's no wonder why there are more "traditional" herbal stores in the small area of Chinatown in Los Angeles than in the rest of the city.
The father of modern medicine, Hippocrates, said,
"Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food."
Well, the Chinese, for the most part, abide by this logical wisdom. In fact, when I was studying nutrition in Traditional Chinese Medicine, I was blown away by their approach to eating — they call it "medicinal meal", or better said, "food is medicine."
To the Chinese, herbs are considered food and are a normal part of their diet! Hence, a large number of Chinese use herbs every day as a part of their preventative wellness plan for health.
“Which herbs,” you may be wondering?
They use Adaptogenic Herbs!
What are adaptogens?
Adaptogens are a category of herbs made famous in the West only recently. In 1947, a Russian Scientist, N.V.Lazarevs, gave these herbs their name, adaptogens, after noticing their amazing effects on helping the body cope with change, or “adapt,” to stress.
Later in 1958, I.I.Brekhman, a Russian holistic medical doctor, and his colleague I.V.Dardymov, defined these amazing herbs based on their unique ability to bring the body and its functions back to homeostasis.
Adaptogens were used in the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl for the myriad of ailments that arose in the inhabitants after being exposed to toxic levels of radiation. Adaptogens gained even more fame when Russian athletes used them in the Olympics to expedite their recovery process — so that they could train harder with less downtime.
What classifies an herb as an adaptogen?
An herb must have a general healing influence on the body or a "non-specific treatment protocol" – meaning, it provides a normalizing influence and exerts a general tonifying effect, rather than over-stimulating or inhibiting normal functions.
In other words,
"An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure!"
“The difference between a sick person and a healthy person is the amount of lifeforce expended to maintain homeostasis. The sick person uses the majority of his lifeforce to maintain homeostasis while a healthy person uses very little lifeforce to maintain balance, thereby allowing him to use the rest to heal, love, create and live life to the fullest.” ~ S.D.R.

Most physicians will note that the most important factor for ideal health, well-being, and increasing the length of life is maintaining homeostasis or balance.
"Adaptogens help the body regulate itself," says Harriet Beinfield, a licensed acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist who co-authored, Between Heaven and Earth: A Guide to Chinese Medicine, (Ballantine, 1991) with husband Efrem Korngold, a doctor of Oriental medicine and co-director of a Chinese medical clinic in San Francisco. "One example of the amazing healing properties of adaptogens," which she points out, "is that a person with low blood sugar will find an adaptogen raises their blood sugar to a normal, balanced level, while the same adaptogen taken by someone with high blood sugar will experience their blood sugar lowered toward normal levels."
Adaptogens bring the body into maximum balance!
Another amazing thing about adaptogens is they have been shown to strengthen our adrenal glands, which are the body’s primary mechanism for responding or “adapting” to stress.
And of course, managing stress is a task everyone faces, since…
Stress is the #1 cause of disease and depletion of lifeforce.
In Oriental Medicine, the adrenals are likened to the body’s batteries. They are the storehouse for lifeforce!
This clearly is one of the reasons why individuals who regularly use adaptogens in their diet experience better overall health, more energy, and fewer negative effects from stress. They are recharging their batteries!
an adaptogenic herb enhances the body's functions
by restoring homeostasis or optimum balance.
