OLD MEDICINE IS THE NEW TRUTH

Spices and herbs are much more than mere flavor enhancers. They often have important, zero side-effect medicinal properties, too.

Predominantly, herbs and spices contain significant amounts of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. The highest quality herbs and spices are often more expensive than the generic brands. Not every part of the plant delivers the purported medical properties, although it may taste somewhat the same; i.e., root versus leaf versus blossoms versus stem.

Include the essential oil versions of herbs and spices in your health regimen.

NOTE: ONLY BUY NON-IRRADIATED HERBS AND SP ICES.
If the label does not offer this information, it's sure to be irradiated
(= cytotoxic, genotoxic, carcinogenic).

"Despite the irresponsible promotion of this process as safe, food irradiation destroys much of the vitamin content of food, produces a number of toxic byproducts: formaldehyde, benzene, and formic acid, as well as unique radiolytic products, e.g. 2-alklycyclobutanoes, that have been demonstrated to be *cytotoxic (damages cells), genotoxic (damages DNA), and carcinogenic (causes cancer) in test tube and animal studies." -Green Med Info
