Fix the oxidative stress and you fix the insulin resistance. Diabetes is a byproduct of free radical damage. Flavonoids are the most powerful free radical scavengers on the planet. The vast majority of flavonoids are in the PEELS— the part everyone THROWS AWAY! No wonder diabetes and insulin resistance is rampant! Don’t believe me??? Check your blood sugar now and eat some orange peels for a few days and check again and you will see a HUGE improvement.
“We demonstrate that the pathways for reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and oxidative stress are coordinately up-regulated in both the liver and adipose tissue of mice fed an HFD before the onset of insulin resistance through discrete mechanism. “
FLAVONOIDS LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE
“Flavonoids from all 5 subgroups have been shown to attenuate a rise in or to reduce blood pressure during several pathological conditions (hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes mellitus). Flavones, flavonols, flavanones, and flavanols were able to modulate blood pressure by restoring endothelial function, either directly, by affecting nitric oxide levels, or indirectly, through other pathways.”
Oxidative stress shortens telomeres
“Telomeres in most human cells shorten with each round of DNA replication, because they lack the enzyme telomerase. This is not, however, the only determinant of the rate of loss of telomeric DNA. Oxidative damage is repaired less well in telomeric DNA than elsewhere in the chromosome, and oxidative stress accelerates telomere loss, whereas antioxidants decelerate it.”
“Co-occurrence of anxiety–depression like behaviors and memory deficits in rats correlates with elevated oxidative stress.”
Oxidative Stress and Anxiety: Relationship and Cellular Pathways
Anxiety is an alarm going off in your brain saying, “Yo!!! Yeah you!!! We got problems!!!”
“High O2 consumption, modest antioxidant defenses and a lipid-rich constitution make the brain highly vulnerable to redox imbalances. Oxidative damage in the brain causes nervous system impairment. Recently, oxidative stress has also been implicated in depression, anxiety disorders and high anxiety levels. The findings which establish a link between oxidative stress and pathological anxiety have inspired a number of other recent studies focusing on the link between oxidative status and normal anxiety and also on a possible causal relationship between cellular oxidative stress and emotional stress. This review examines the recent discoveries made on the link between oxidative status and normal anxiety levels and the putative role of oxidative stress in genesis of anxiety. We discuss the different opinions and questions that exist in the field and review the methodological approaches that are being used to determine a causal relationship between oxidative and emotional stress.”
Oxidative stress, cellular senescence and aging
“Almost a half century ago, the free radical theory of aging proposed that the reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a key component which contributes to the pathophysiology of aging in mammalian cells. Over the years, numerous studies have documented the role of oxidative stress caused by ROS in the aging process of higher organisms. In particular, several age-associated disease models suggest that ROS and oxidative stress modulate the incidence of age-related pathologies, and that it can strongly influence the aging process and possibly lifespan. The exact mechanism of ROS and oxidative stress-induced age-related pathologies is not yet very clear. Damage to biological macromolecules caused by ROS is thought to result in many age-related chronic diseases. At the cellular level, increased ROS leads to cellular senescence among other cellular fates including apoptosis, necrosis and autophagy. ”
Excessive caloric intake acutely causes oxidative stress
“These results suggest that the initial event caused by overnutrition may be oxidative stress, which produces insulin resistance, at least in part, via carbonylation and oxidation-induced inactivation of GLUT4.”
Oxidative stress and metabolic disorders
“Increased body weight and metabolic disorder including insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular complications together constitute metabolic syndrome. The pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome involves multitude of factors. A number of studies however indicate, with some conformity, that oxidative stress along with chronic inflammatory condition pave the way for the development of metabolic diseases. Oxidative stress, a state of lost balance between the oxidative and anti-oxidative systems of the cells and tissues, results in the over production of oxidative free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Excessive ROS generated could attack the cellular proteins, lipids and nucleic acids leading to cellular dysfunction including loss of energy metabolism, altered cell signalling and cell cycle control, genetic mutations, altered cellular transport mechanisms and overall decreased biological activity, immune activation and inflammation. In addition, nutritional stress such as that caused by high fat high carbohydrate diet also promotes oxidative stress as evident by increased lipid peroxidation products, protein carbonylation, and decreased antioxidant system and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels. These changes lead to initiation of pathogenic milieu and development of several chronic diseases. Studies suggest that in obese person oxidative stress and chronic inflammation are the important underlying factors that lead to development of pathologies such as carcinogenesis, obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases through altered cellular and nuclear mechanisms, including impaired DNA damage repair and cell cycle regulation. Here we discuss the aspects of metabolic disorders-induced oxidative stress in major pathological conditions and strategies for their prevention and therapy.”
Acute oxidative stress and the ketogenic diet
“The mechanisms underlying the efficacy of the ketogenic diet (KD) remain unknown. Recently, we showed that the KD increased glutathione (GSH) biosynthesis. Since the NF E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) transcription factor is a primary responder to cellular stress and can upregulate GSH biosynthesis, we asked whether the KD activates the Nrf2 pathway. Here we report that rats consuming a KD show acute production of H2O2 from hippocampal mitochondria, which decreases below control levels by 3 weeks, suggestive of an adaptive response. 4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE), an electrophilic lipid peroxidaytion end product known to activate the Nrf2 detoxification pathway, was also acutely increased by the KD. Nrf2 nuclear accumulation was evident in both the hippocampus and liver, and the Nrf2 target, NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1), exhibited increased activity in both the hippocampus and liver after 3 weeks. We also found chronic depletion of liver tissue GSH, while liver mitochondrial antioxidant capacity was preserved. These data suggest that the KD initially produces mild oxidative and electrophilic stress, which may systemically activate the Nrf2 pathway via redox signaling, leading to chronic cellular adaptation, induction of protective proteins, and improvement of the mitochondrial redox state.”
Autophagy as a Molecular Target of Flavonoids Underlying their Protective Effects in Human Disease.
“Autophagy is a cellular pathway with the ability to maintain cell homeostasis through the elimination of damaged or useless cellular components, and its deregulation may initiate or aggravate different human diseases. Flavonoids, a group of plant metabolites, are able to modulate different molecular and cellular processes including autophagy.
Analyzed publications indicated that imbalance between cell death and survival induced by changes in autophagy play an important role in the pathophysiology of a number of human diseases. The use of different flavonoids as autophagy modulators, alone or in combination with other molecules, might be a worthy strategy in the treatment of cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular diseases, hepatic diseases, leishmaniasis, influenza, gastric ulcers produced by Helicobacter pylori infection, diabetes, asthma, age-related macular degeneration or osteoporosis.”
When you turn off RLIP76 in mice they can’t get cancer, diabetes or become obese.
2-Hydroxyflavanone inhibits RLIP76 and can be found naturally in parsley, onion peels, berries, tea, and citrus fruit peels.
RLIP76 inhibition (via FLAVONOIDS IN orange peel) prevents Obesity, Metabolic syndrome and cancer
“Feeding a Western high-fat diet (HFD) to C57BL/6 mice induces obesity, associated with a chronic inflammatory state, lipid transport, and metabolic derangements, and organ system effects that particularly prominent in the kidneys. Here, we report that RLIP76 homozygous knock-out (RLIP76−/−) mice are highly resistant to obesity as well as these other features of metabolic syndrome caused by HFD. The normal increase in pro-inflammatory and fibrotic markers associated with HFD induced obesity in wild-type C57B mice was broadly and nearly completely abrogated in RLIP76−/− mice. This is a particularly striking finding because chemical markers of oxidative stress including lipid hydroperoxides and alkenals were significantly higher in RLIP76−/− mice. Whereas HFD caused marked suppression of AMPK in wild-type C57B mice, RLIP76−/−.
The baseline renal function was reduced in mice had baseline activation of AMP-activated protein kinase, which was not further affected by HFDRLIP76−/− mice as compared with wild-type, but was unaffected by HFD, in marked contrast to severe renal impairment and glomerulopathy in the wild-type mice given HFD. Our findings confirm a fundamental role of RLIP76 in regulating the function of obesity-promoting pro-inflammatory cytokines, and provide a novel mechanism for targeted therapy of obesity and metabolic syndrome.”https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3743508/
“When you get rid of this [RLIP76] gene in a mouse, it would appear that the mouse can’t get obese, it can’t get diabetes, it can’t get high cholesterol and it can’t get cancer,” explained Sanjay Awasthi, M.D., professor in the Division of Molecular Diabetes Research at City of Hope hospital.
RLIP76, a Glutathione-Conjugate Transporter, Plays a Major Role in the Pathogenesis of Metabolic Syndrome
Our recently published studies demonstrate that RLIP76−/− mice used for these studies were found to have marked insulin-sensitivity, and blood glucose was 46% lower than in RLIP76+/+animals (p<0.001). RLIP76−/− mice also had lower total serum cholesterol and triglycerides (43% and 40% of control, respectively; p<0.01) [1]. The hypoglycemia in RLIP76−/− mice is particularly remarkable because markers of oxidative-stress are remarkably increased in the tissues of the RLIP76−/− animals [1], [23]–[25]. Thus, in the absence of RLIP76, increases in these lipid-peroxidation products are insufficient by themselves to turn on any signaling pathway that can increase BG or lipids. Increased gluconeogenesis was particularly remarkable given that the activity of key gluconeogenic enzymes, G6Pase, F1,6-BPase, and PEPCK, in liver of RLIP76−/− mice was significantly inhibited.
Enhanced basal pAMPK levels in RLIP76−/− mice was another salient finding which strengthens the postulate that RLIP76 is a highly effective target for developing interventional strategies for MSy. Resveratrol, commonly used anti-oxidant, is known to activate AMPK which could contribute to its protective effects from high fat diet induced insulin-resistance [53], [54]. AMPK protects cells from stresses that cause ATP depletion by switching off ATP-consuming biosynthetic pathways. AMPK is activated by phosphorylation by an upstream protein kinase known as AMPK kinase. Activated AMPK can phosphorylate and regulate in vivo HMG-CoA, which is key regulatory enzyme of sterol synthesis [43], [47]. HMG-CoA limits the rate of cholesterol synthesis in liver tissue. Lipitor, inhibitor of HMG-CoA, exerts anti-inflammatory effects by lowering plasma cholesterol. Activation of AMPK leads to the inhibition of cholesterol synthesis by the phosphorylation of HMG-CoA reductase [43]. Loss of RLIP76 significantly affects the activation of stress and apoptosis pathway proteins [1], [25], [35]. Activation of AMPK leads to the inhibition of cholesterol synthesis by the phosphorylation of HMGCR. AMPK activation would be a good approach to treat T2D. These medications generally function to increase the effectiveness of insulin-mediated postprandial inhibition of hepatic gluconeogenesis. These findings provide a new insight on the mechanisms of action of hypoglycemic and/or hypolipidemic drugs.
RLIP76 knock-out mice survive well and are active. In our extensive and previously published studies, RLIP76 inhibition specifically leads to targeting signaling of importance in diabetes mellitus and other oxidative stress related conditions like cancers where targeting RLIP76 leads to selective cancer cell death without affecting the survival of normal cells and tissues [1],[31]–[33]. Hence, both global and selectively targeted approaches can be reasonably pursued as required while targeting RLIP76. In conclusion, our results suggest that RLIP76 is a key effector controlled by multiple proteins known to regulate the metabolic abnormalities of diabetes and metabolic syndrome, and that in its absence drugs that target these proteins will fail to function. The specific events that regulate the transport-effector/clathrin-endocytosis activity of RLIP76 (i.e. phosphorylation of RLIP76 by JNK, Akt, AMPK) will be explored in the future studies.
2′-Hydroxyflavanone (a flavonoid in orange peel): A novel strategy for targeting breast cancer
Intake of citrus fruits is known to reduce the risk for incidence of breast cancer. Hence, we tested the efficacy of citrus flavonoid 2′-hydroxyflavanone (2HF) in breast cancer. 2HF inhibited survival, clonogenic ability, cell cycle progression and induced apoptosis in breast cancer cells. 2HF also decreased VEGF levels and inhibited migratory capacity of breast cancer cells. Administration of 2HF led to regression of triple-negative MDA-MB-231 tumors in the mice xenograft model. 2HF decreased the levels of RLIP76 both studies and MDA-MB-231 xenograft model of breast cancer. Western blot and histopathological analyses of resected tumors showed a decline in the levels of survival and proliferation markers Ki67, pAkt, survivin, and cell cycle proteins CDK4 and cyclin B1. 2HF treatment led to inhibition of angiogenesis as determined by decreased VEGF levels and angiogenesis marker CD31 . 2HF reversed the pro-/anti-apoptotic ratio of BAX/BCL-2 by decreasing anti-apoptotic protein BCL-2 and increasing pro-apoptotic proteins BAX and BIM . 2HF also decreased the mesenchymal markers vimentin and fibronectin along with causing a parallel increase in pro-differentiation protein E-cadherin. Collectively, the ability of 2HF to decrease RLIP76, VEGF and regulate critical proliferative, apoptotic and differentiation proteins together provides strong rationale to further develop 2HF based interventions for targeting breast cancer.
It takes about 16 oranges to get a good dose of 2HF. Get the INTERSTELLAR PEEL BLEND instead in either 20:1 or 200:1 concentrations which is like eating that many oranges in just a few small scoops!

Shiva Baum –
Interstellar WOW! Rapid results. The Peel and Spice combo delivered excellence for me within 10
minutes of consuming in my morning coffee. I felt a dramatic upgrade in well being. HIGHLY recommended! Phenomenal product combo.
lfcarter –
My initial order included the combo of Spice and Peel. I can already tell a difference in my mood throughout the day. In the past, I’ve had some anxiety and mild depression and am confident that this combination, along with Trinity, is already leveling me out. What’s also great is the amount of product you get. I was amazed at how big the bags were for Spice and Peel. That says a lot, it’s worth the price knowing that you only need a small amount so it should last you for quite a while. I also enjoyed the samples that were added to my order which prompted me to place a second order for said samples. Try the products, I highly doubt you’ll be disappointed.
Sally Reed –
I haven’t had time write a formal testimony but A spot on my lung that was discovered in March on a X-ray had grown. I was scheduled with a follow up CT scan and the area had increased and had gotten more dense. A pet scan on August 14 showed a high uptake value which points to cancer so I was scheduled for a biopsy September 3rd. I ended up in ER August 30th and another X-ray was done and the spot was gone!! I have ongoing lung issues due to a drug resistant bacteria so seeing junk in my lungs seems common now for me. I have been on the Blend’s now for 10 weeks now and that’s the only thing I have done differently. You cannot imagine how happy I was. I went through cancer treatment twice and the thought of doing it again literally made me sick. Thank you Gavin for what you do it’s not only the blends but it’s literally saving some of us.
Tanya F –
First I want to say that I am fortunate to take a large majority of the blends offered. It is therefore difficult to pinpoint one specific result to one specific blend, but I do believe that ALL of the blends have contributed to the great results which I am about to share.
I think often times we notice more when things are wrong or bad rather than taking notice when things are good. But if you are aware and present, if you start to pay attention, you will see that these blends impact SO MANY areas of your life.
Here are a few examples of how these blends have impacted me. Perhaps Gavin can comment on the specific blend associated
1. I used to struggle with cold sores on my mouth and nose (herpes virus). I would get them every month or two due to stress or too much sun. I believe it has almost been a year since having one. Even when the conditions arose to get one I might feel the sensation of one but magically they would never appear and the feeling would dissipate quickly.
2. My skin has greatly improved. I had an age spot on my hand (I WISH I would have taken a before and after picture because it is incredible). I was self conscious about it because it made me look and feel older than I was. It is now gone. In addition, the sun spots and freckles on my arms and legs are much less. Even my aesthetician has had to increase my facial frequency because she said my cell turnover is just so much higher than it used to be. Another interesting thing that happened – and this would have to do with rapid healing but I recently had to have stitches. When I went in to have them removed the doctor commented that he had never seen anything like it. My skin and wound had healed so quickly and nicely that it had completely healed OVER the stitches. He had to access them for removal with an incision. ?
3. I stopped taking thyroid medicine when I started taking blends. This has probably been two years now. I recently started taking luteolin from Interstellar and after a new blood test, my Thyroid levels are the best they have ever been (although borderline) and quite honestly I feel no side effects of Hypothyroidism
4. I am happier and less stressed. This is subtle but noticeable. Even my husband has commented that I have a new energy and peace about me. And truthfully I just feel like smiling and laughing more.
There is more that I can say but these reviews can get lengthy.
….I did take Autophagy this morning. I’ve been doing longer fasts and plant based feeding windows to improve my gut bacteria and I’ve struggled a bit with hunger. Today is different. I am not hungry per usual.
Also just a little tip: Make a Matcha smoothie!! Wow! It’s my new staple. Nut milk, Stevia, flaxseeds, spinach, and a good scoop of Matcha. It’s life changing ?
Mychael Maldonado –
So I just wanted to leave a review on the products that I’ve been taking Trinity and peel and Spice 200.1
Ever since I’ve been taking peel and spice I’ve been getting compliments about how my skin glows and how I look 10 years younger people are amazed at it and ask me what am I doing and what I’m putting on my face I tell him I simply drink black coffee with my peels extra Virgin Olive oil and it takes me there
the Trinity is a Anti anxiety Anti-stress it makes you feel relaxed and with no worries it’s amazing what Trinity does I tell all my friends that are in prescription drugs to drop them and buy these blends especially these 2 I am convinced and it is proven that they work their miracles I’m 57 years old and I’m being told I look fortyish… And I’m always in a good mood with full of energy This is my testimony .?
Katelyn Schroeder –
So I must say its effortless to give this product a 5 star review and write 3 paragraphs. I could literally talk until the world ends about how absolutely life changing this is.
So I want to start out with a disclaimer that the person I bought these blends for is literally crying that he’s almost completely run out of his spice and peel (I purchased Trinity as well and will be replenishing all three).
My father is a complete non believer in Chinese anything unless it comes in the form of takeout with complimentary fortune cookies (some of the herbs are common in Traditional Chinese Medicine). The fact that he’s the one in full blown panic because he’s about to run out is almost hard to take seriously.
I can remember the day he laughed at me and called it “witchcraft”?. He refused for an entire year to try the blends until one day he had reached his breaking point.
He had gotten to the end of his line and was about to change his mind just long enough to change his life. In agonizing pain unbearable and completely suffocating to the point of wanting to die; in his desperation for relief and the will to try anything and I mean anything!
He suffers horribly from gout; was so crippled in his right hand from pain that it would cause nausea and make him throw up. This was horrendous for me to watch my pillar of strength be such a victim to this condition. My dad is a mechanic connoisseur, if you will, and lives in his garage working on his 69 Camero so this was destroying not only his physical self but everything he loved to do as well. He came to me and asked if I could order him some of that “intestinal hippy dust” he called it. Haha!
So I ordered it through Gavin who personally without a second delay —no I’m not exaggerating, he literally responded to my request within seconds of the message being sent along with personalizing my order to meet my budget and preferences. He answered all of my questions and provided me with any information I needed [IM REALLY ANNOYING WITH QUESTIONS). I felt like as if I had my own personal on call herbalist and I was his only client— in this day and age of factory line customer service for half assed cheap inadequate products you can only imagine how much of a relief that was.
So the big day was here faster than I could shake a stick; my package came promptly and it couldn’t have been a better time considering the flare up of my dad’s worst nightmare was once again happening . My dad, I must say was a trooper and really gave it the gallant effort. He took the blends religiously everyday, same time, in his coffee or in cherry juice plain . He did this once in the morning and that’s it! Yes just once a day!
After 4 days I saw him at the dinner table opening and closing his hand with a perplexed look on his face when all of a sudden he said, “Well I’ll be damned… I don’t know what’s in that dirt but I haven’t closed my hand in almost a year! I hate to admit I was wrong but that shit really works!” It was the most incredible feeling I’ve ever had to see my efforts of persuasion and belief in Gavin’s products result in my dad’s complete obliteration of his pain and suffering.
Fast forward to now and he’s like a totally new man; pain free and finally a believer! My dad hasn’t had one, not one, flare up of gout since taking the blends! He’s energetic, lively and said he doesn’t feel as old anymore. LOL I cant express my gratitude or my appreciation for Gavin’s hard work and dedication. It must have been a difficult road in obtaining these perfectly proportioned pungent particles of perfectly priced products.
I’m so obsessed with knowing that Gavin has changed my dad’s life and continues to change so many others. These blends were his calling and he was born to do this! If you’re going to invest in anything in life invest in yourself, the rest will follow! Invest in your state of mind, your happiness, your health, your body; invest in someone like Gavin and his blends who is invested in you and has made helping others his life’s passion! Invest in your ability to view the world as you should with an INTERSTELLAR outlook. Buy these blends— you’ll only regret not doing it sooner.
I personally take Peel and Trinity twice daily. I have been diagnosed with Wilson’s disease; an autoimmune disease that effects the liver due to the body not eliminating copper and essentially poisoning the liver with too much. I was advised my liver is not gonna make it to the other half of my birthday’s; I’m 27 years old and the only solutions countless doctors could come up with is a transplant. I will keep an update on my experience but so far my last doctor visit caused some raised eyebrows at how much my levels had changed to reflect liver regeneration taking place. Yes my liver was in fact healing itself and the blends are to thank.
So I will continue the blends and reap the benefits of Gavin’s dedication. I’m now thinking I still have skin in this game, “Put me in coach! I’m INTERSTELLAR and I’m not going down without a fight!!!!” BEST supplement out there !!!!!!!!!!!
Sudevika Okeahi –
I am grateful to be taking these blends!
I’d been so fed up with being in pain.
Doctors told me it was depression and injuries that may never heal.
I’d tried many natural products
with little or no relief.
My intuition made me feel that there must be a natural remedy.
Recently I came across Gavins page.
I saw one of his product reviews and was drawn to look further.
I enquired about his products he was very kind, helpful and informative told me what I could take that was vegetarian and would help my back pain and anxiety.
He suggested the blends Spice and Peel and told me that after 3 weeks I’d have zero back pain! He said I would also like the blend Thermo too.
I ordered the combo pack of Spice and Peel and started taking the blends the last week of August.
I am now completely back pain free!
This is like a miracle, because I was injured as a child thrown from my horse and was stepped on several times also, I’ve had two car accidents causing serious impact and back pain.
I’ve also suffered from migraines since I was a child and haven’t had one since I started the blends!
I feel amazing!
I feel New life!
After nearly 30 years of pain I am now feeling full relief!
Thank you Gavin for what you do, and for the time and support you have shown me!

Started 10/13/2019
Day 3 of taking Spice, Peel, Thermo, Matcha Tea, Pollen and Niagra while doing the 22/2. Started Luteolin on 10/23/19.
10/16/19
This morning, I woke up with NO pain in my hands. I usually wake up and my pinky finger is usually hurting and I think that it’s arthritis. I would wake up and it would hurt so badly in the morning. But for the first time in about a year NO PAIN!!! I just entered into menopause and would get horrible hot flashes at night. Last night, the amount of hot flashes were cut in half…now mind you this is only on day 3 with the blends, which are Spice, Peel, Thermo, Matcha Tea, Pine Pollen and Niagra .
10/18/19
I have noticed today that ALL inflammation is gone in my body. No bloated stomach, hands, legs, and feet. I feel really good. The only thing that’s happening and it’s totally my fault is…I’m waking up in the middle of the night to use the restroom from the 2 hours that I use to re-hydrate. I may have to change the time that I re-hydrate to the middle of the day. I believe that will alleviate the midnight bathroom visits. But other than that…I feel AMAZING!
10/20/19
Niagra!!! Lord HELP ME!!! So now I’ve been taking the blends for 6 days so far. The Niagra blend is a God send (since God created all things). For someone going through the unfortunate stage of menopause and losing her libido…Niagra has put me back in the game of intimacy with my loving husband. This blend has definitely rekindle my sexual desire towards my husband. This blend has given me this orgasmic orgasm that is out of this world…I kid you NOT!!! I mean, it’s simply AMAZING!!! This blend right here is a DIG DOG GAME CHANGER and I can’t thank Gavin enough on creating such a powerful sexual herbal blend for women. Understand, going through the change has been HELL on wheels but with this BLEND, it’s totally doable concerning the bedroom! The lack of interest is gone, my libido is coming back slowly but surely to before I started this cycle of life of menopause.
10/30/19
Sciatic nerve pain. So, I’ve been dealing with sciatica pain for about 10 years on the right side of my butt cheek. I had lower back pain, burning down my leg, difficulty moving around in the bed before I would go to sleep. I would do some exercises to try and alleviate the sciatic pain…which only helped for a short time. At one time, I was going to the chiropractor 3 times a week to get adjusted for 3 months straight. I was even considering getting cortisone injections because the pain was so serve. I even did physical therapy a couple times a week…which didn’t help at all! The doctor prescribed anti-inflammation medication that would stop me from having (my) regular bowel movements. Hell, I had to stop that, because I wouldn’t have a BM for like 5 days and would end up taking a laxative. I just realized last night while lying in the bed, that my pain is GONE!!! I don’t know which blend that’s stopping the pain BUT I’m truly thankful that the pain is gone!!! I would wake up in the middle of the night because of the pain and now…NO MORE BACK PAIN!
Garvin, words couldn’t truly express the thankfulness that I’m feeling being pain free! Thank you so much for all that you and Kristine do!
Sara Cuthbert –
Spice and Peel have changed my world forever!! I’m not sure how I even got through a day before I stumbled upon Interstellar Blends. I have suffered from constant pain and weight that just wouldn’t come off for decades. I limped home from work each day, calling it my ‘stanky pimp walk’ as I hobbled to my car. I lived on ibuprofen and Epsom salt soaks. Everything has changed for me now.
At first I was curious about the blends but was unwilling to spend the money. I stalked the Facebook pages and poured over the tremendous amount of information on the website. There were so many glowing reviews and the before and after albums were intriguing. Once I realized I could WIN the blends by doing the fasting challenge I was on it. I knew I would make it happen somehow. I was very concerned about doing all the walking required but I soon realized that walking wasn’t why my feet hurt, chronic inflammation was, and Interstellar blends were my new best friend.
After quite a bit of personal help from Gavin I purchased the Peel and Spice combo pack to address the ongoing pain I had been having. I can tell you that within 48 hours of taking Peel and Spice combined with the 88/8 fasting routine I was easily walking 5 miles a day ON TOP of all the walking and standing I do at my food service job. No more stanky pimp walk to my car at night! I can’t recommend these blends enough. I talk about them to anyone who will listen. I have them on my kitchen counter right next to my coffee pot. They are now a permanent part of my life.
And yes, I completed the challenge and WON $600 worth of these amazing blends. Gavin and his group are so helpful and compassionate, especially when it is obvious that you are taking yourself and this challenge seriously. Having this arsenal of blends at my fingertips is straight up empowering. If you can’t spend the cash DO THE CHALLENGE. It’s hard but it’s 100% worth it.
Amy O’Connor –
I was visiting my sister and her boyfriend in Austin Tx in November. He is a mechanic and has very bad arthritis. This is the second time I have seen him in pain so bad that he had trouble standing up straight. I told them about Peel and Spice and thought this could help him. He ordered soon after. Within a week his pain was gone! It amazes me that someone could suffer so long and then be pain free 7 days later! These blends are absolutely incredible!
Sudevika Okeahi –
I’ve struggled with fibromyalgia for over 25 years.
Many people and Dr’s have little clue how to treat it or what it is or how it’s caused.
I was treated in California, England U.K., and Hawaii.
I’ve been given so many different medications for it each one I stopped because of side affects or that they made it worse.
I was told I would just have to live with the pain and manage it best I can.
However after trying the combo blends Spice and Peel I have had the most relief ever with absolutely no side affects or unnatural ingredients harming my body!
These blends are truly a blessing and amazing!
There have been times I couldn’t walk or swim or move parts of my body without being in unbearable pain, when sleep was nearly impossible and I was drained and feeling completely hopeless.
After taking these blends I’ve been able to get my own self employment on the rise and attend to many other things I’d been putting off due to stress from the pain and anxiety. I’m beyond grateful for these blends and will continue to take them.
They have also cured cold sores I would get every year when I was sick or dehydrated I can say now they are gone completely!
Yet another thing the dr’s said couldn’t be cured.
Thank you Gavin McGowen for all your hard work and effort in helping others heal themselves!
Sudevika Okeahi –
These blends are brilliant!
I’ve been taking Spice and Peel together for several months and am beyond grateful.
I wish I had the money to buy them all.
Spice and Peel combo have been saving my life dealing with fibromyalgia and other stressful situations I’ve been facing.
Even a quarter tea spoon when I’m running low makes the world of a difference.
I was very busy two days ago forgot to take it also still feeling sick with Bronchopneumonia.
I was having heavy lung/chest and back pains.
I was actually feeling scared, went and made myself a cup of warm tea added Spice & Peel to it within 20 mins all pain in my back was almost completely gone.
I don’t use ibuprofen or Tylenol or anything else for the pain anymore at all only these blends.
My daughter who started kindergarten this year has been getting sick every month, I cut out almost all sweets/sugar only honey or fruits and as little sugar as possible.
Also giving her quarter teaspoon of each Blend and she’s been better.
My daughter is very picky doesn’t like the taste of spices or anything that’s strong on the taste buds.
She has a very bland taste liking.
She loves the blend with a little honey and coconut milk or cows milk.
She actually asks me to make it for her now!
I love love love these blends!
Ruth Miguel-Alleyne –
My second purchase of blends included Peel, Spice and Luteolin, the feeling I got from using these daily is out of this world indescribable, all I can say is that I never wish to run out of blends, ever. I even shared with my sister who took them for two weeks straight and was able to stop using her diabetic medication.
Unlike other products which contain fillers, preservatives and other unwanted or even unharmful additives, interstellar blends are 100% active ingredients and of the most excellent quality. The blends certainly speak for themselves and without hesitation I continue to recommend intersellar blends to others not only for weight loss but for general health and overall healing.
Francis Proulx –
“First of all I wanna thanks Gavin for everything he does for humanity. This man proved that he could crush the medical establishment in a second with his knowledge and experience.
I had hair issues for a long time now, skin problems, and a lot of soreness that last for 4-5 days after workout. For 5-6years now. I heard about his protocol on facebook. I checked it out and the only things I saw were people getting powerful transformations in no time, reverse health issues like no other, people changing their life with his blends and everything. I was kinda shocked how only positive stuff I saw from his work.
So I took a chance. I decided to buy Peel and Spice combo. God his blends are no freaking joke. First of all, 2 days before I had the blend, I had a weird cold out of nowhere. Straight up during the time of the COV crap. It was rough. The FIRST DAY, taking the combo, BAM! 12hr later no freaking cold and flu like symptoms. Felt freaking good. No more cold.
Normally my hair a falling out like leaves in October months, its crazy. In like 1 Week only it’s stopped 50%, 2 weeks it has stop falling totally. My nails are getting freaking hard. My skin irritation and rash down to 75%. I cant wait to see next weeks.
Now Im working out a lot harder and in 1 days no more soreness. This shit is POWERFUL! NO JOKE. I didn’t even try his other blends, I cant wait
I cant thank Gavin enough for that. This dude is a GENIUS. Lets try Nebula, and Trinity why not? 😉 Cant wait to see where its gonna take me because even with only peels and spices my health had a total switch. Feeling a lot more clear and clean. I HIGHLY recommend it to try it for yourself and know the truth 👌🙏 Thanks Gavin!”
Sangeetha –
I have been a member of the group for more than a year now, but got my first blends in December 2019. I have NOT been taking the blends regularly though.
In 2012 I fell down the connecting bridge step down in Frankfurt Germany and ended up with a 3rd tear in my ligaments and tendons. The first 4 years were seamless, but the last 4 years slowly turned up hell. With several treatments along with Ayurveda as well, the only option I had was surgery. This impaired my ability to do daily chores severely let alone participating in challenges here. Being able to walk well was more important than weight loss for me. I need to lose about 40lbs.
So finally had my surgery on July 2, 2020 for a complete reconstruction of left ankle ligaments and tendons. I have 3 screws on my ankle and was planned on boots & braces for 8 weeks followed by 6 more weeks of complete rest. The plan was almost for 14 weeks+.
From July 5th onward, I started taking 1 tsp of peel & spice each twice a day, regularly. I stopped pain medicines on July 7th itself, as I didn’t need them anymore. 2 weeks later I was off boots and started physiotherapy with lace-up braces. My surgeon was surprised to see zero swelling and pain. I am 5 weeks post-op, and I am cleared for PT without any support. The only addition I am doing is massaging ayurvedic oils on my ankle twice a day. My recovery is straight away cut down by almost 4 weeks. I am advised 5 more weeks of not much moving and more rest (new total of 10 weeks post-op).
The second benefit I have noticed is, I am able to fast for 16 hours a day with just peel and spice and occasionally Autophagy. I can’t thank Gavin enough for 1) for the blends themselves and 2)responding to me day or night and putting up with my silly questions over chat. My heartfelt thank you brother!
At the end of this second 5 weeks, I want to be able to be ready for taking the challenges of this group. Planning to take blends 4 times a day starting tomorrow (8/8/20) and see how well I am able to prepare for the challenges after Sept 15th.
I am happy I made the investment and looking forward for the weight loss era now. THANKS GAVIN!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!
Ann Stiefel –
I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH! One month ago I broke a rib processing firewood. I’m 59 years old, and have been healthy and active all my life. I lift, train with kettle bells, and have 20 years of martial arts experience, Aikido, Kendo and Karate. I’m no stranger to pain. I’ve recently been struggling with rheumatoid arthritis, as if the broken rib pain weren’t enough. ALL my joints ached, and the busted rib made it hard to breathe, and sleep, or cough. NOTHING HELPED, not meds, not edibles, not my hot tub or massage. Then I found this site.
Gavin recommended I try Spice and Peel for their anti inflammatory pain relieving properties. My order couldn’t get to me fast enough! In LESS THAN A WEEK it arrived! I did exactly what the directions said and gradually increased my dose. Took it three times a day and gradually, within 5 days or so, my rib pain was GONE! Seriously? My Dr. said it would be 6 to 8 weeks! In addition, my arthritis pain and joint aches disappeared. Seriously. Now here’s the good part. I wanted to see if it was all in my head, if this stuff was REALLY helping me to that degree, so I stopped taking the blends for a few days. Bad move. Mind you, I’m eat paleo keto. I take top of the line supplements. Clean, no booze, no weed, no meds. The only thing I did different was stop the blends. My rib is fine, healed, no pain. But the RA came back with a vengeance. My joints were on fire, hips, hands, shoulders all ache like hell. I had to be sure. I will NEVER DO THAT AGAIN.
Moral of the story is this stuff is the real deal. Believe it. Peel and Spice changed my life. I’m never going without ever again. Ever. Thank you Gavin! I know I’ll live longer now and my QUALITY OF LIFE will be so much better. I’m forever in your debit.
Sudevika Okeahi –
This is an amazing product! I’ve been taking it now for over a year and can’t live without it!
I have fibromyalgia and this keeps the pain completely controlled. It’s also helped my condition overall and I’ve gotten a lot better since taking it. I’ve recently ordered these blends for my daughter who lives in England. She absolutely loves taking them in her tea or coffee. She is pain free & feels a lot of new energy and her sugar levels are normal. She was getting headaches after eating sugar and immune system always breaking down getting sick a lot. Now since taking these blends she feels great and hasn’t been sick! Thank you.

I started using peel and spice after months of having a horrific face allergy that just would not go away! within a week of using peel and spice my allergy went completely away and didn’t come back! I’m so thankful to get rid of that awful allergy!

I had been struggling with a face allergy, I would wake up with red patchy spots all over my face and neck. I could not figure out what I was allergic to but I consistently would get this eczema type rash for almost 4 months.
I tried everything, Benadryl, oils, cremes, moisturizers and could not get this rash to go away. My aunt uses interstellar and she suggested I try peel and spice. I thought what’s the harm in trying nothing else has worked and so she gave me a sample of some of hers. Within 3 days my face was cleared up completely!! I ran out of the sample and had not taken it for a few days and noticed the rash coming back. I decided to buy some right away because the impact it was having on my skin! I have always had dry and sensitive skin but this blend has been amazing I have noticed a huge difference! I definitely recommend it has impacted my life so much i’m so thankful my rash is gone and that my face is clearer! Thank you interstellar blend!!
