| But Gaynor had added something to their regimens—a combination of herbal remedies—that appeared to be keeping these people from dying. Many of them were doing exceptionally well. Gaynor explained that a woman who had been the chief nutritionist at Sloan-Kettering had left a year earlier with advanced breast cancer. Because the cancer had spread throughout her body, Gaynor never expected to see her again. Six months later, she walked into his office. The tumors were gone. Gaynor was stunned and asked her what she had done. |

Lovejoy: Well, also I added astragalus, which is also known to be effective for breast cancer, and it's actually anti-viral and anti-microbial. They've done some incredible studies with astragalus. Being an herbalist, I really wanted to add the right ingredients for prevention. It's all about prevention. It's all about healthy lifestyles.
Mike: You also have probiotics in this formula.

 That's because the only way to know the potency of herbal medicine is to taste it.
And boy, did I taste it. I got a mouth full of liquid herbal concentrates that simply leave most tinctures in the dust. These are herbs with a potency rarely found in the supplements industry. The Kavazon Liquizon product, for example, which is made with Kava, tingles and then slightly numbs your tongue. That's how you know it's the real deal. You can easily taste the medicinal bitters in Recovazon (one of my favorite products) or the wholesome intensity of Una de Gato. |

 It can only happen with support: nutritional support, herbal support, and energy support. It can never happen by declaring war on some part of the body, bombarding it with chemicals or radiation, and calling that medicine.
Do not be fooled into following a system of medicine that has really only one purpose: to turn you into a revenue-generating vehicle. Think long and hard about these decisions, and I urge you not to let any doctor, no matter what their credentials, inject poison into your body.

 In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study conducted by the Swedish herbal Institute, 50 outpatients with symptoms of common cold were treated with placebo or tablets containing Andrographis extract (1020 mg per day, about 6 g of herb). The patients were instructed to make their first clinic visit not later than 3 days after the occurrence of cold symptoms. After 5 days of therapy, subjective evaluation demonstrated a significantly reduced number of sick leave days (p<0.03), improved symptoms (p<0.025) and hastened recovery (p<0.05) for the Andrographis group. |

Drug-based medicine is already obsolete
And so the big picture here becomes rather obvious. In the minds of most consumers, organized medicine is already obsolete. The Senate and the FDA remain hopelessly stuck in the past, arrogantly tied to a chemical medicine scheme that was outdated two decades ago. But the consumers who stay informed about these things are way ahead of the game. |

 There are no chemical first aid products in my house; I've thrown them all out and replaced them with herbal products (or aloe vera). This Power Immune is one of my favorites. I consider it a first aid antibacterial product.

They will hand you a couple of packages with herbs and say, "This will do the trick." And they're right; it will do the trick.

| The only thing better than stocking up on these herbal products, by the way, is growing the herbs yourself. And I recommend you do that. Fresh herbs right out of the garden are always superior to anything in a bottle, so if you have a way to grow these anti-viral herbs year-round, that's the best strategy of all. The next best thing is a tincture like this one.

I found that this combination clobbered viruses with a barrage of synergistic phytochemicals, and no virus could resist its effects (it worked for me 100% of the time).

 You see this in personal care products and shampoo, too, where companies claim to offer "herbal" shampoos that have practically no detectable levels of real herbs in them. In foods, companies pad the ingredients lists with healthy-sounding berries, herbs or superfoods that are often only present in miniscule amounts. Having "spirulina" appear at the end of the ingredients list is practically meaningless. There's not enough spirulina in the food to have any real effect on your health. |

 Most pet health conditions can be easily prevented or cured with good nutrition, and more challenging health problems can be cheaply and safely solved with herbal therapies and other naturopathic modalities. There is no scientifically justifiable role in veterinary medicine for the majority of the pharmaceuticals now being pushed onto vets, vet techs, and pet owners.

 China's food and herbal products are so routinely contaminated with pesticides and heavy metals that high-quality supplement formulators in the United States refuse to buy products from China anymore. But the really clever part in all this is that blaming China prevents people from paying attention to the dangerous ingredients openly allowed in the U.S. food supply by the FDA.
Specifically, the FDA currently allows known cancer-causing chemicals to be widely used in both foods and drugs. |
