Guest guest Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 Hi David, Welcome to the group! Echinacea is definitely one of the best herbs for boosting your immune system, but remember that your body needs a break from it. Don't take it constantly. One week on, one week off, or if you really need it, or are cleansing, up to 3 weeks on, one week off. What vitamins are you taking? If you are on a good nutritional food-based supplement, like the Total Nutrition formula (see the files for info), then there are very few vitamins that you need to supplement with. I highly recommend the Total Nutrition as it is most easily used by the body and it is " whole " , not processed down to one or two components that someone decided was needed. Other things I recommend to people on a regular basis are the Total Tonic and the Panther Piss formulas (see the files). Total Tonic is the natural anti-biotic, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-parasite formula that doesn't kill off any of the " good guys " ! The Panther Piss will help return your body pH to the alkaline side where it should be (but most of ours isn't! LOL!). It's also very high in lots of very needed minerals. The last questions I would have are what is your diet like and have you done any cleansing. Let me know and I'd be happy to give you more advice.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 David, Astragalus is a fabulous immune system builder. And you can take it regularly unlike Echinacea where you have to break every three weeks. Other things which are wonderful immune builders are spirulina and wheat grass. Susan - dadofjaz2002 herbal remedies Wednesday, December 22, 2004 5:43 PM Herbal Remedies - Does anyone know... Hello everyone, my name is David and I am new to this group. I have a question for you all; does anyone know which herbs build the defenses in the body? I've been using echinasia, goldenseal, taking vitamins, eating a lot of garlic, I exercise regularly, I don't smoke, and abuse my body in any way and when I get sick, it really hits me hard. I even drink herbal teas. If anyone can offer me any tips and/or advice I would deeply appreciate it. Thanks again, DavidFederal Law requires that we warn you of the following: 1.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 You're completely right Susan, and all these things are in the Total Nutrition formula too.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Charlotee, Thanks for the tip and the reply. Can I get this at any health food store? I live in Sacramento, CA and I am not familiar with the health food stores here. Thanks again and have a great day.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 What kind of exercise do you, or can you, do? Nina On Behalf Of SHANJO Sunday, June 26, 2005 1:30 AM does anyone know... I take coenzyme q10 because it stops my heart irregularities and so I have a normal beat, BUT it raises the number of beats to around 100 while resting. I need the coenzyme, so Im looking for something that naturally lowers the heart speed, Does anyone know what will reduce the heart speed? Thanks Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 I have had heart arrhythmia all my life- " skipped beats " I used to call them. What has worked most excellently and without side effects is Hawthorne berries. I used to buy the capsules; then found that buying whole berries in bulk was cheaper. I make a tea with a small handful. Michael On Behalf Of SHANJO Sunday, June 26, 2005 12:30 AM does anyone know...
