The Immune-Boosting Power of Echinacea.
According to VeryWellHealth.com echinacea has been used as a remedy for conditions such as toothaches, stomach pain, snake bites, skin disorders, chronic arthritis, and in the fight against different cancers.
Echinacea’s major effect on the immune system is its stimulation of white blood cell production. This in turn helps to purify the blood, and protect us from infections.
I always suggest that echinacea is more an “immune BOOSTER”, kinda like kicking our immune system into gear; whereas other herbs, such as Astragalus, are more into BUILDING the immune system.
The Tried-and-True Wellness Formula

I wish you WELL…NESS!
Beta-Carotene And Alpha-Carotene Use In Cancer Studies
Plenty of research continues to be done on cancers. Several of those studies focused on the cancer-preventive potential of Vitamin A and its precursors, Alpha-Carotene and Beta-Carotene. The latter has been studied widely as a promising chemo-preventive agent in reducing the risk of cancer in humans.
Not many people know that daily supplementation with carotenes has shown tumor reducing activities in specific cancers, such as oral cavity, head and neck, as well as colon.
Mother Nature's Amazing Carotenoids And Their Benefits
Carotenoids are essential compounds in nature. They are pigments showing red, orange, yellow, and purple colors in birds, fish, flowers, fruits, and vegetables.
Their health benefits include that they can protect us from disease and that they can strengthen our immune system. But there is more!! Without carotenoids we would not be able to see at all, because there would be no Vitamin A and thus no light gathering pigments in the eye.
