Dear friends:
Recently there was an article in The New York Times stating that metals are found in many Ayurvedic herbs.
This is not the case with our herbal formulas. Dr. Naram's organization adheres to very strict international
testing standards. See below for a letter from Dr. Smita Naram, who oversees the cultivation and production of
the herbs:

To Whom It May Concern:
In addition to being an Ayurvedic physician, I am also a pharmacist. I direct both the growing and harvesting
and production of the Ayurvedic herbs used in the herbal formulas given out by Ayushakti clinic in
Mumbai, and all over the world by my husband Dr. Pankaj Naram, myself and other Ayushakti doctors.
I have a team of 5 qualified pharmacists and research scientists who meticulously oversee the production
of the herbs. We also test our products for their quality and safety on world-class instruments like AAS,
HPTLC, GC, etc.
The herbs we use are made of plants and minerals and are all-natural. Because of this their effect is gentle
and gradual. They are formulated to work with the body's own natural systems. The herbs are also designed so
they can be integrated with almost any Western medical protocol. STWS is a nonprofit whose mission it is to
provide an Ayurvedic herbal cleansing formula developed by Pankaj and myself free of charge to the rescue and
recovery workers and volunteers affected by exposure to Ground Zero and related sites.
Every new batch of herbs that is to be shipped for use in Europe or the U.S. is first tested at Neotron
Laboratories in Europe, for the analysis of heavy metals (and other tests if required). The products are shipped
only if their results are within the safety limits prescribed by the international standards. The herbs are
also tested in India at our own testing laboratory and at Hitech Analytical Laboratories, an FDA-approved lab.
The herbs that are used in the manufacturing of the herbal remedies are standardized extracts and are analyzed
for their purity and efficacy. Our factory is ISO 9001-2000 certified. ISO is a Swiss organization which
certifies only those factories who follow international manufacturing practices.
If you have any other questions please contact Jose Mestre, the Executive Director of STWS, at
212-337-4046 or 347-306-0729. Jose will contact me or one of our consulting physicians in the U.S. with your
question.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Smita Naram
