Your Protective shield From Harmful Microbes
by Dr. Donna Schwontkowski

     No one can argue the fact that we live in a dangerous environment. Every day from the minute we wake up we are challenged with bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, environmental pollutants, and sometimes even man-made microorganisms that can compromise our health. Microbes cause one-third of the world's 50 million plus deaths each year with TB, malaria, Pseudomonas, Staph, and Strep, HIV, and Hepatitis playing a major role in sickness. The recent exposure of Ebola Zaire virus and germ warfare agents really rings the alarm to the dangers in our environment.

     The problem is that medicine doesn't have the cure-all. Although 25 million pounds of antibiotics are produced annually in the U.S., people still die of infectious diseases. And as simple as it sounds, the reason why people still die lies within people themselves, within their complex immune systems which have become weaker and weaker from environmental insult.
The answer is to take substances that have the capacity to clean the body of the environmental pollutants and support the immune system. And the substances that can do this are herbs. Herbs grown in an area where there aren't any environmental contaminants; Amazon herbs found in their pristine rainforest ecosystem so pure, energized and full of phyto-nutrients.

     For example, there's Quebra Pedra with its ability to detoxify chemicals in the liver and protect against viruses. Did you know that there are 360 million carriers of the potentially deadly hepatitis virus? Cat's Claw has the ability to increase the body's white blood cell count 34% and increase the potency of each individual white blood cell. Or Sangre de Drago and Citrus aurantium with antioxidant activities far greater than Vitamin C, Vitamin E or pycnogenol to clean up the damage in the body after infection set in. Or Jatoba and Pau d'Arco ability to neutralize fungi. All the Amazon herbs that support your immune system can't be listed here for the lack of space but are available for you to use on a daily basis.

     Every Amazon herb in the Rainforest BioEnergetics' (Amazon Herb Co.) formulas has been selected for its support of your organ systems. Every Amazon herb has many simultaneous actions in your body. All the actions are carefully orchestrated to maintain health to correct unhealthy conditions. And every Amazon herb works with other Amazon herbs like an Olympic-medal winning team to bring you synergistic actions that boggle pharmacists' minds That's the wonder of the herbs masterminded by Nature's pharmacy.

     We have choices in today's world. We can choose to hold the fear that a microbe can do us in or we can take steps to protect ourselves now. Amazon herbs are our protective shield against harmful microbes in the environment. They make us strong from within. Put on your daily shield and walk the path of health.
