Silver Flower: Clears acute upper respiratory infractions caused by virus. Also stops systemic cold/flu symptoms: body aches, chills, headaches, etc. Initially made during the 2020 pandemic. It’s one of our best selling formulas and extremely effective. Honestly I think you guys could sell a ton of this one come cold/flu season.
Silver Flower Formula helps expel Cold Evil Qi in the respiratory tract. It helps alleviate respiratory symptoms caused by
acute respiratory tract viral infection and inflammation due to the cold or flu as well as coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
Silver Flower also helps clear toxic Damp Heat resulting from the Cold Evil Qi and removes pro-inflammatory cytokines
to reduce the cytokine storm and address Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) caused by the viral infection.
Silver Flower helps clear symptoms of fever, cough, sore throat, nausea, breathing difficulties, diarrhea, and fatigue.
Silver Flower formula exhibits a dual function in immune regulations. While calming down the overwhelming immune
system and avoiding the release of excessive cytokines and free radicals, it also helps protect the blood vessels and
maintain normal immune function against pathogens. LC Balancer and Brown formula may also be required to assist the
liver and kidneys to process and secrete toxins.
The Silver Flower Formula was developed based on the successful clinical results in China using “Qingfei Paidu
Decoction”. The National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine on February 23, 2020 revealed that this herbal
formula has more than a 90% effective rate in the treatment of 214 patients who were diagnosed with coronavirus
pneumonia. These patients ranged from having mild symptoms to being in critical states.1 Further detail about this trial
has been reported before on Observer App on February 6, 2020. This report revealed that “Qingfei Paidu Decoction” was
used to treat 214 confirmed coronavirus cases in four pilot provinces including Shanxi, Hebei, Heilongjiang, and Shanxi.
The patients’ symptoms including fatigue, fever, cough, sore throat, anorexia, and changes in CT imaging were followed.
Statistic data on February 5th showed that within 3 days of treatment (one treatment course) more than 60% of patients
had symptom and/or CT imaging improvement. 30% of patients’ symptoms become stabilized without further
worsening.2
The Silver Flower formula is the US version of “Qingfei Paidu Decoction”. However, comparing to the original “Qingfei
Paidu Decoction” which is a liquid formula, the Silver Flower is in a capsule form. The use of Silver Flower does not require
a full diagnosis of a viral infection. It is recommended as long as patients are experiencing any flu or cold symptoms such
as a cough, itchy or sore throat, fever, fatigue, shortness of breath, or diarrhea. If symptoms are completely alleviated
after 3 days, they may not be required to continue taking the formula for patients with the common cold. However, if
the symptoms persist, are partially reduced, or the symptoms are caused by influenza or COVID-19, it is recommended
to continue taking the formula for a total of 2 weeks.
It is also recommended that the use of the Silver Flower formula should be under the guidance of a healthcare
professional. Patients should not avoid their clinic or hospital visits when taking the herbal formula.
Lung Viral Complications
If patients’ symptoms persist, it is recommended to include additional formulas including Bitter, Brown, Qi Booster, LC
Balancer, CL, Jade, Woad and KS. Bitter “Cools down the Blood” and helps clear excessive pro-inflammatory cytokines
from the blood to address the cytokine storm caused by the viral infections. Brown nurtures Liver Yin and helps enhance
the liver’s innate immunity. Qi Booster enhances the Spleen Qi and helps enhance the acquired immunity. LC Balancer
nurtures the Kidney Yin and helps improve microcirculation to improve blood circulations. CL removes Lung Heat and
helps reduce lung inflammation. Jade enhances Lung Qi and helps boost cell-mediated immunity of the lungs to help
the lung fight viral infections. Woad helps clear Evil Qi in the blood. It helps clear the extracellular viruses that have not
entered into the host cells by enhancing the adaptive immunities involving the antibodies. KS helps remove kidney heat
and reduce kidney inflammation. It is recommended to have 2-6 weeks of treatment for sustained results.
If patients develop lung scarring or fibrosis due to the viral infection; Soup A, Soup B, and LC Balancer is recommended.
Soup A will nurture the Lung yin and help repair lung structure damage. Soup B will help remove lung stasis and assist in
dissolving scar and fibrotic tissue in the lungs. It is recommended to have 1-3 months of treatment for sustained results.
Heart Viral Complications
If patients develop scars or fibrotic tissue in the heart muscle or arteries due to the viral infections, they may experience
symptoms of chest pain or heaviness, shortness of breath, arrhythmia and fatigue. The wellness recommendation to

“Qingfei Paidu Decoction”
The “Qingfei Paidu Decoction” was prescribed by famous herbalist Dr. Tong Xiaolin.3 The exact meaning of “Qingfei
Paidu” in Chinese means detoxifying the lungs and pushing the toxins out of the body. The formula is a
combination of several classic prescriptions described in Zhang Zhongjing’s "Shanhanlun" for treating exogenous fever
caused by “cold evil”. Dr. Tong Xiaolin has recommended that the formula can be used in the treatment of diagnosed
coronavirus pneumonia patients ranging from mild to critically ill. The formula can also be used for patients with the
common cold and flu. However, this formula is a disease treatment prescription, and it is not recommended to be used
as a preventive prescription. For patients with a fever caused by the common cold, a three-day treatment should be
sufficient for complete resolution of condition. Further testing and for the corona virus and CT scans may not be
necessary for these patients after their three-day treatment. If patient sees partial improvement or symptoms still persist
after three-day treatment, they will need to be tested for possible Coronavirus infection. It will be recommended to have
another two week treatment using the “Qingfei Paidu Decoction”.
Based on the initial success of using the “Qingfei Paidu Decoction” to treat coronavirus pneumonia, The National
Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine on February 7th 2020 issued a policy document “Notice on recommending
the use of "Qingfei PaiduDecoction in the treatment of pneumonitis infected by new coronavirus with integrated Chinese
and Western medicine”.4
With the use of the herbal treatment in combination with their stringent quarantine procedure, China has gained control
of the coronavirus pneumonia epidemics. On March 6th 2020, the Chinese State Council Information Office held a press
conference in Wuhan, Hubei.5
In the press conference, members of the Central Steering Group presented the progress of
the prevention and treatment of the coronavirus pneumonia epidemic. During the press conference, a CNN reporter
asked the following questions; “We noticed that the diagnosis and treatment plan released by the Chinese government,
the official statement, and the official media reports all have strongly emphasized the role of Chinese medicine which
includes the outstanding effectiveness of several Chinese medicine formulas, and even cases of discharge from use of
only Chinese medicine treatment. At the same time, experts from the World Health Organization mentioned in a press
conference in Beijing last week that, so far, the only treatment that has been shown to be effective against viruses is a
western medicine, Remdesivir from the United States. My question is: Does China's point of views on Chinese medicine
contradict with the WHO? What is the scientific basis of China? Will the cases improved or discharged through TCM
treatment be a result of self-healing?”
His question was answered by one of the members of the Central Steering Group, members of the Party Committee of
the Health and Health Committee, and secretary of the Party Group of the Chinese Medicine Bureau Yu Yanhong. She
answered the question by first emphasizing that TCM helps enhance patients’ immunity. She then acknowledged that
50,000 patients, including critically ill patients who have been discharged, have used Chinese medicine in their treatment.
In comparison to the use of either TCM or western medicine alone, the combined use of Chinese medicine and western
medicine can significantly speed up the symptom improvement including fever, cough, fatigue, shorten the length of
hospital stay, increase the rate of coronavirus test results become negative, and effectively reduce the prognosis of mild
and moderate conditions to severe and critical ill conditions. It increased the treatment rate and reduced the mortality
rate.
She then cited following examples. Among patients with mild and moderate symptoms, a randomized controlled open
trial of 452 patients showed that the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine is significantly better than
the western medicine group in improving symptoms and increasing the rate of nucleic acid conversion to
negative. Another 500-patient clinical cohort study showed significant improvement in CT images of the lungs, with no
progression from mild to severe. In critically ill patients, a 75-clinical controlled trial showed that the combined use of
Chinese and Western medicine compared with the Western medicine alone group reduced the nucleic acid negative
transition time and hospitalization time by an average of 3 days. At the end she acknowledged that among nearly 100
patients who had been discharged, many of them were critically ill and they were all mainly treated with traditional
Chinese medicine.
In a more recent report published by Dr. Tong Xiaolin on March 14, 2020 on sina.cn, 6
it was shown that the total effective rate of the “Qingfei Paidu Decoction” reached 97.78%, and no single case progressed from mild to severe or critically ill. Up to March 13, 2020, among 1261 coronavirus pneumonia patients from 10 different provinces who has
taken the “Qingfei Paidu Decoction”, 1102 cases were cured, 29 cases symptoms completely eliminated, and 71 cases
improved. Among them, there are 40 severe patients. After taking the herbal formula, 28 patients have been discharged
from the hospital. The rest 12 patients remain in the hospital and 10 patients have symptom improvement and achieved
reversal from severe to mild condition.
“Qingfei Paidu Decoction” is a treatment formula that can also be used on patients who are coronavirus infection
suspects. The use of “Qingfei Paidu Decoction” has been shown to reduce the rate of diagnosed cases among suspected
patients.7 According to a report published in Guangming Daily on March 13, 2020, the internal data shows that the
diagnosis rate among suspected patients in Wuchang is declining. The diagnosis rate on January 28 was as high
as 90%. After giving full coverage of suspects with herbal formula “number one” prescribed by Dr. Tong Xiaolin
since February 2nd, the diagnosis rate has dropped to 30% by February 6th. Until March 13th, the diagnosis rate
among suspects is only 3%.
Precautions: If patients develop cold stomach condition and experience upset stomach with symptoms of nausea,
vomiting and dizziness after taking the Silver Flower formula, it is recommended to take ginger tea to warm up the
stomach to compensate the coldness of the heat reduction herbs in the Silver Flower formula.
