Out of all the infection-causing bugs that can strike…

The ones that seem the SCARIEST right now are viruses.

Too often, viral infections can EVADE conventional treatments… and become LIFE-THREATENING.

Take a look at the World Health Organization’s list of “priority diseases”… the ones that pose the GREATEST health risk, due to their potential to grow to epidemic proportions

And you’ll find that ALL of the known ones are viral in nature.

Even worse, experts are preparing us for the emergence of even MORE novel viruses… ones that could be DEADLIER than the ones we’re already dealing with.

Now, you know how antibiotics can’t do a THING to beat back viruses (although that doesn’t stop conventional docs from trying).

Problem is, Big Pharma’s so-called “antivirals” aren’t always enough to take some of the WORST viruses down.

But that doesn’t mean we’re OUT of options…

Because there’s a whole world of herbal remedies with UNTAPPED potential!

Here’s one I guarantee you’ve NEVER heard of.

Shelter from the storm

The pink rock-rose (Cistus incanus or Cistus creticus) is a shrub that grows wild in the Mediterranean countries of Europe and North Africa.

It was used in Ancient Greece for wound healing… and it’s still an important part of Bulgaria’s traditional medicine.

But in this country, C. incanus is completely OBSCURE!

Here’s why it’s poised to make a comeback.

Its leaves are CHOCK FULL of antioxidant compounds known as polyphenols. In fact, C. incanus boasts the highest polyphenol content of any plant in Europe.

And those polyphenols could be KEY to its potent antiviral action.

A 2016 study out of Germany revealed that C. incanus can help keep viral infections at bay by INHIBITING their ability to “dock” onto and PENETRATE host cells.

You see, viruses “infect” you by BREACHING your healthy cells… and then REPLICATING their genetic material once inside.

If THEY can’t get in… YOU don’t get sick!

Research has shown the ability of C. incanus to SABOTAGE rhinoviruses of the upper respiratory tract… as well as influenza A (a.k.a. “bird flu”).

And if you do happen to “come down” with a viral infection, C. incanus can help relieve symptoms

By TAMPING DOWN inflammation.

Specifically, it can REIN IN your immune system’s production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, like C-reactive protein – one of the culprits behind that “cytokine storm” you’ve heard about.

Even better, viruses don’t appear to learn to RESIST C. incanus… like they do to some pharmaceutical antivirals.

Not even EMERGING viruses… like Ebola!

Look for C. incanus… sometimes just called “cistus”… as an herbal tea at your local health food store or online.

Don’t worry – it’s naturally caffeine-free.

Much of the research conducted has used a patented C. incanus extract called “CYSTUS052.” You can find it as an ingredient in products by BioPure.
