 HERBAL DEFENSE makes the latest
information on botanical medicine and natural healing interesting and
useful. To give you power over your health, the book will show how to
reduce risks, prevent disease, enhance energy, and naturally treat a variety
of common ailments using herbs and foods. It explodes common myths about
herbs, and includes inspirational case studies, a historical perspective
on medicine, resources, recipes and more. It's packed with historical,
traditional, scientific, and anecdotal information on over 350 herbs for
home use.
Herbal Defense goes far beyond mainstream generalities (this isn't
the same old endlessly recycled echinacea/ginseng/garlic tidbits). You'll
become a powerful, discerning, sophisticated and self-sufficient consumer
of health care. You'll learn to evaluate, obtain and use botanicals not
only to remedy illness, but to prevent it and build outstanding health.
Picking up where Robyn Landis' bestselling first book, BodyFueling®,
left off, Herbal Defense will inspire you to choose a healthy life--and
teach you how. Just a taste of what you will learn:
 gentle yet reliable, results-producing
strategies to support your body's own self-healing mechanisms.
how to help your body fight infection
and degeneration on its own
how to boost your body's own healing,
instead of depending on external sources for superficial relief.
how to use herbs and foods to build a
future of health, and tip the odds against disease and degeneration in
your favor.
how herbs can make the immune system stronger
than many of its foes.
how to tell hype from helpful information,
and distinguish issues that tend to get tangled (e.g., stimulants, "diet
aids" and aphrodisiacs have nothing to do with responsible, educated,
therapeutic/medicinal uses).

Every year there are ten million negative drug reactions in the
U.S alone, and 600,000 victims wind up in hospitals. All around the rest
of the world, people use herbs for health and healing, as they always have-and
herbs account for less than 1 percent of all toxic reactions to medicines
worldwide). So why not try the natural route? HERBAL DEFENSE will show you
how gentle plant substances can help keep you stronger, healthier and more
energetic than you dreamed possible--and truly heal illness and injury.
From age-old wisdom to late-breaking discoveries, HERBAL DEFENSE is packed
with historical and scientific information on over 1,000 herbs for home
use, giving you the control to steer your own health destiny. Use wisdom
from around the world to help yourself-with solutions to problems such as:
VIRUSES. The mild Chinese herb astragalus
is a remarkable cold preventive--and the spicy, aromatic cubeb berry not
only builds immunity but relieves coughs, strengthens lung tissue, energizes
and heals asthma long-term.
HEADACHE: Ginger, feverfew and rosemary
are standout migraine relievers; peppermint oil dabbed on temples, scalp
and neck can relieve tension headaches.
INSOMNIA: Valerian, hops, and scullcap
leaf are just a few of the botanicals that can safely transport you to
slumber--without risk of dependency.
FATIGUE: Fo-ti, licorice root and eleuthero
are only a handful of the herbs that help restore your body's own
energy production--with no overstimulation or side effects.
EAR INFECTIONS: Discover why a few drops
of mullein oil, garlic oil or onion juice in the ear are usually more
effective than antibiotics--not to mention healthier and cheaper.
HAY FEVER: Freeze-dried nettles offer
quick and completely natural elimination of symptoms with no side
effects. (Other herbs, used over time, can make your immune system too
confident to overreact to pollen at all!)
ULCER: Forget toxic drugs that cause rebound
effects and mask symptoms--cabbage juice and licorice root have proven
far more effective.
ARTHRITIS: You don't have to "just
live with it"--turmeric root, guggul, boswellia and ginger are among
many natural remedies that relieve pain by healing the problem.
DIABETES: Learn why onions, fenugreek
seed and bittermelon, among others, are excellent natural blood sugar
control remedies!
