* A Personal Story - I would like to take this time to share a page from my journal with you.

On January 1, 1995, I found myself in the ICU at our local hospital. I was very ill. The doctors told my family that I would not make it. I had come in contact with two strains of bacteria, which the doctors had never seen before. My immune system was incapable of fighting off such an attack, and none of the antibiotics in their arsenal would kill the critters. I needed help fast.

The doctors decided to ask a group of scientists in the Houston area, to try to make an antibiotic for me that would kill these pesky bugs. It was my only hope, but it would take days to make a formula that might work, and I could not wait that long.

During the week of Thanksgiving in 1983, twelve years earlier, I had contacted an illness very similar to what I was dealing with that New Year's day, except this time the bacteria that had envaded my body could be treated with antibiotics. For several weeks no one was sure if I would make it. It was touch and go, as they say, but I survived, however, the doctors told my family that there was no way that I could survive this illness twice.

When the doctors informed my family what I was up against, they decided to treat me in ICU, without the doctor's knowledge, with herbs that we had studied and have used over the years. We knew that the Gaia Herbs brand of Echinacea and Goldenseal Supreme had antibiotic and blood cleansing properties, and so the choice was made. Within three days I was sitting up eating popsicles. In three weeks I went home.

Echinacea and Goldenseal have been proven through many years of extensive research to be immune system enhancers, and is now finding its way into the practice of traditional medicine. Doctors who treat children with chronic ear infections are finding out that this natural remedy is helping them to win the battle against bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.

Many people may wish to dismiss natural alternative methods and remedies, and the thousands upon thousands of testimonies from people, just like me, who have been either greatly helped or healed. I understand this skepticism because I use to think the same way until I began studying and using these methods for myself. However, each one of us must make our own decisions about what we believe is right for ourselves to confront our health care issues. I believe that it is a right that no one can ever take away from us.
