‘Garden cure’ sends pesky viruses PACKING
The way the mainstream talks about them, you’d THINK that viruses are UNTREATABLE…
And that there’s NO CURE for them.
After all, if antibiotics don’t work on them… NOTHING must!
That may NOT be true.
Sure, viruses are tricky little bugs… and they sure do keep us on our toes…
But maybe we just need to look a little harder… and BEYOND a pharma lab dish…
To find a cure that could be growing right in our own gardens!
Sniff out a way to BEAT viruses
In ancient times, the famous Greek physician and herbalist Dioscorides extolled the virtues of the humble and aromatic honeysuckle flower (a.k.a. Lonicera)…
And today, I want to share with you the healing properties of Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica).
Traditional Chinese Medicine has used it for ages to SUPPRESS the flu and upper respiratory infections…
And Western medicine has known about its antiviral properties at least since 1999.
The key may be a component in honeysuckle that Chinese researchers identified as “MIR2911” in 2014. It’s actually a tiny piece of genetic material known as RNA – and it appears to target specific genes encoded into influenza viruses to REPRESS their replication.
And if a virus can’t replicate once it’s inside your body, it can’t make you sick!
Even better, MIR2911 seems to provide broad-spectrum protection against the flu – and not just one strain of it.
Research shows that it can SUBDUE pandemic strains like influenza A… swine flu (a.k.a. H1N1)… and bird flu (H5N1)!
And that’s not all…
Because a study published last year showed how MIR2911 can also SABOTAGE the replication of the herpes virus that causes shingles and chicken pox.
And the herpes family of viruses are some of the most INSIDIOUS viral strains out there!
Now, you can’t get MIR2911 on its own right now…
But you may not even WANT to!
Like many of nature’s best cures, honeysuckle’s ability to fight infection probably comes from more than just one component… but rather from SEVERAL compounds working together in concert!
Honeysuckle also contains two known virus killers — chlorogenic acid and quercetin.
And it’s also PACKED with antiviral compounds called triterpenoid saponins, which may also contribute to the flower’s anti-inflammatory properties.
Concentrated honeysuckle is available in supplement form as an essential oil or an easy-to-swallow capsule (sometimes labeled by its Chinese herb name, Jin Yin Hua).
You can also drink honeysuckle tea, as boiling the honeysuckle helps release some of its active constituents.
To the sweet smell of success,
