In the for-what-it's-worth dep't, here are my observations and opinions about supplements:

• Most of us need supplements, because our health has been compromised by poor diet, aging, stress, and fatigue.
• Herbal supplements should be used to build health, reduce stress, and prevent illness.
• Herbs can be powerful drugs. If you're sick, ask a knowledgeable professional what you need and how much.
• Go for the highest quality whole food and herbal supplements you can find.
• Synergistic combinations of herbs, in my experience, are more effective than single herbs.
• Wild-crafted herbs won't do you much good if they were grown by the side of a highway. Buy from reputable sources.
• Supplements are just that, not a substitute for good diet, rest and relaxation.

Amazon Herb Company: This entry was submitted by Jesse Leahy, Fairfield, IA, email: [email protected]. I've tried the free tea sample given out by Amazon Herb Company, several times, to be sure, and liked it - very energizing and tasty. Apart from that, I know a few people who take the herbs and claim excellent results. Based on that limited experience, I can't give a personal recommendation, but having visited http://rainforesthealthherbs.com/, I'd say it's worth checking out.

Here's a promotional blurb from the site: "The Amazon Rainforest is the source of the most nutritionally dense wild harvested herbs and botanicals. Our partnerships with the indigenous people in the Amazon provide a new source of income for the people, preserve their forest, and create a hope for future generations."

Rainbow Light: The complete pre-natal vitamin complex is highly spoken of by the expectant mothers I know, including my daughter. Some Moms find the spirulina or something affects their tender tummies. I recommend the tablets only, not the powdered form, which doesn't dissolve well, and tastes nasty. They also make a chewable children's vitamin, which is excellent, but which all children may not like. Generally, their products are complete, and high quality. Go to: http://www.rainbowlight.com

SomaLife Submitted by Debra Jenkins, Port Townsend, WA. Debra and her husband raved about the benefits from these products - too long to print here, but I gathered that these are major rejuvenative and dietary supplements. Since I haven't yet used any of these products, I can't endorse them, and generally I'm not a big fan of MLM. However, I've known Debra for 10 years - she does MLM health products as a business, researches them carefully, and goes for the best. She provides excellent support to her customers, and is very knowledgable about what she sells.

If you'd like to follow up, here is Debra's information: "People can call me (with questions) at 360-379-0812 or email me at [email protected]. OR they can visit www.asomaworld.net, (and click on "The Science" to see the patent etc. I like to send people to the toll free recording by Dr. Meyers. That says it all nicely and succinctly. 877-680-7662."
