Story:
About 5 years ago I had been having miscarriages (while trying to have our 2nd child). My ob-gyn sent me to have some blood tests. While they were looking for lupus or other possible problems, they discovered that I tested positive for the rheumatoid factor (RF). They took a second blood test and it came up positive again (by the way this was not the cause of my miscarraiges). This positive result will usually lead to rheumatoid arthritis symptoms. Prior to them finding this out, about 6 months before, I had noticed some roseyness in my cheeks that would come and go that I had never had before. I had also noticed that my breathing was getting labored when I did simple tasks. Tasks that should have not caused me to breathe like I had run a block. Once I received the positive RF result, I began to put two and two together. A few years back I had been listening to a radio program by Joel Wallach DVM, ND. He mentioned that rheumatoid arthritis is caused by a micro-organism that sits and lives in the lungs. He suggested low grade anti-biotics (for 6 months or more) to kill the organism. Well since I knew that the doctors were not going to give me anti-biotics because they don't believe it's as simple as that, I decided to use natural products that I knew were high in anti-viral, anti-bacterial properties. I took 4 cups of Natures Sunshine Product Pau D'arco tea. I took NSP's colloidal silver and grapine extract (grape side and pine extracts) along with my baseline nutruients I had already been taking. Three months later I requested another blood test. The RF result returned negative! Along with that my prior symptoms of roseyness in my cheeks and labored breathing also went away. How about that! There are many other stories of how I have assisted others with recovering from ailiments like fibroid tumors, alopecia, sleeping disorders...all with the use of high quality herbs, minerals and vitamins. I say high quality, because some manufacturers use parts of the plant that do not have high concentration of the medicinal properties along with the part that is high in medicinal properties (i.e. the roots vs the leaves).
