The Weekly Beet is simply exciting! Never before has Alternative Medicine been researched and presented in such an 'upbeet' way."

Last week, The Weekly Beet reported on a berry tasty immune boosting fruit called Elderberry. This week, The Beet reports on a few more secrets to naturally strengthen the immune system. Mary Kent praises Echinacea, another one of nature's powerfully, protective arms.
 It's easy to let down our guard, but once the shield falls, it's an instant green light for immune system attack. The path to optimum health must be well protected and the key to this is knowing natural choices so that at the onset of an infection or the flu, the symptoms can be quickly remedied. Just one glimpse into Mother Nature's medicine chest and it's visible that the shelves are overstocked! From garlic and cranberry to mushrooms and bee pollen, Mother Nature gives us an endless supply to naturally boost the immune system. It is the natural chemicals found in herbs and plants known as alkaloids, phenols, quinones, and terpenes that are truly the Holy Grail to increasing immunity! These natural treasures are creating quite a stir, giving drug companies a run for their money. Competing with Mother Nature may lead to a financial gain in the short term, but she will always win in the long term. For example, take Echinacea. Annual sales of this herb have skyrocketed to $300 million, representing 10% of the supplement market. This healing, wonder herb was in the spotlight several years and is now the target of controversial medical research. When reading such herbal studies, it's always wise to remember the source of such funding! Many studies are biased, especially if it's clear that Mother Nature is winning the race. The miracles of Echinacea go beyond curing the common cold and flu. This herb has the ability to heal enlarged lymph glands, sore throats, urinary tract infections, candida, skin infections, psoriasis, and even eczema. Now, that's what we call unBEETable!
Echinacea and Elderberry aren't the only amazing immune boosters found in nature. Here are a few more secrets that Mother Nature has tucked away in her medicine chest:
It's time to fight naturally! Knowing your natural choices always makes the battle alot easier. Don't miss a Beet. Stay tuned for next week.
Love,
Mary Kent
