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.

Only three differences give Grape Seed Extract the edge.
Benefits Of Selenium For Heart, Cancer, Babies, Thyroid And Other.
According to the highly-recommended resource book “Prescription for Nutritional Healing” by Phyllis Bach:
“Selenium deficiency has been linked to cancer and heart disease. It has also been associated with exhaustion, growth-impairment, high-cholesterol levels, infections, liver impairment, lower cognitive function, pancreatic insufficiency, and… sterility.”
Also interesting is that Selenium is one of the essential nutrients in the function of our thyroid gland.
Benefits Of Selenium And A Funny Story Behind It
The following Health Pearl actually caused some, let’s say, misunderstanding amongst several radio listeners back in 1996. This was in large part do to my Dutch accent…
It doesn’t take away from the overall message, though: SELENIUM is very important for our health, including fighting viruses and helping our thyroid function at its best.
