Herbs are special food with special properties--be special and use herbal remedies!

Once again herbal and natural remedy sales have escalated during 2010. Even in tough economic times this industry is showing profitability. People are sick and tired of being sick and tired! More and more I see people who are seeking help in getting to the cause of their conditions rather than just medicating the symptoms.
This is an amazing body of work showing that herbs are safe and effective--have a long history of such and are still working in today's world. http://www.eclecticherb.com/emp/updatesHCDI.html

Read what Marlena has to say about "losing her lump"--
"I was really excited to have my annual checkups and to do the follow up on the lump that I found under my armpit 3 years ago. Initially the Dr wanted to do a biopsy, but all I could think about was that ugly scar that a friend of mine had when her lymph nodes were removed. The initial exam from the Dr indicated that it was not cancer, so im thinking, why do they want to just cut on me any way? I began a rigorous regimen of alkaline water, lymphomax and lymphatic drainage. And I am happy to report that my mammogram and ultrasound have come back normal. yipppeee! I love Nature's Sunshine products because again they have proven to do exactly what they promised to do with no horrible side effects, only benefits."

Here's what Julies says about getting her "Miracle baby"--
I am a happy healthy and active 38-year old woman living in San Francisco. My husband and I started trying to get pregnant 6 years ago. We did all the normal things folks do to have a baby without luck. We started charting cycles, taking temperatures, changing body positions. Again, no luck. We quickly moved to acupuncture, boiling herbs, drinking herbs, naturopaths and healers. This resulted in four pregnancies, the longest of which lasted 9 weeks. IVF was the next approach. Various gradations of procedures were tried, different Tus to do this 6 different times.
When the 6th trial didn’t work we gave up. We started charting a new course for our life and the possibility of being parents in a way different than we had anticipated. Seven months later I was referred to Dr. Mary and told she could give me some supplements to help. I was resistant and had little enthusiasm for the visit but went anyway. Dr. Mary assessed my physical body to get a feel for my emotional state. She touched on things in my past she never could have known, and reached the core of some very deep pain that I hadn’t realized still existed. She sent me home with a supplement called Maca for my husband and I to take, and something called false unicorn for me to take, that they had to be taken together.
She said that if it didn’t work in three months for me, it wasn’t going to. For some reason I chose not to take the false unicorn. I read something online that made me think it wasn’t good for me, and I hadn’t fully bought into another attempt at pregnancy. At the end fo 3 months I called Dr. Mary and told her it hadn’t worked…was it worth it to try it any longer. She asked if I took the false unicorn along with the maca and I admitted that I hadn’t. She told me that it wouldn’t work unless taken together. So I started taking it. What the heck..I had nothing to lose. Within 45 days I was pregnant and on April 30th of this year I delivered a baby girl. I am a believer in herbal remediesJ
