Focus is a safe and effective herbal therapy for cases of ADD and ADHD. Varied forms of this formula have been used successfully for years, allowing an end to the ritalin crutch.

Sugar free diet This is a very important aspect of the therapy and allows Focus to work for you. You will have marginal success if you chose to maintain a diet high in refined sugars. It is often impossible to remove all sugar from your diet. That is understandable. But the effects of Focus will not be as obvious if sugar is constantly ingested.

Antibiotics are often prescribed for infections other than bacterial. Along with sedatives, they have been the most over prescribed drugs of the past thirty years. Colds and flus do not respond to antibiotics because they are not caused by bacteria but viruses. Olive leaf is a safe and natural line of defense against any virus including HIV. It can be taken as a preventative or to kill a viral infection.

Olive Leaf is a one herb tincture used for any and all viral infections (flu, HIV, AIDS, etc.). "Olive leaf extract - effective, natural, and nontoxic - has been used as a fold remedy for thousands of years. Only now has scientific research shown that the active ingredient, oleuropein, has vast healing powers because it actually eliminates the viruses, fungi, bacteria, and other parasites that cause disease. From immune disorders to the common cold, from athlete's foot to malaria, olive leaf extract can be a powerful adjunct to any program of healing, health, and wellness." Dr. Morton Walker Olive Leaf Extract Kinsington Books

Fingernail, Toenail and Foot Fungus

Fingernail, toenail and foot fungus, unfortunately, seems to be on the rise. No the world has not gotten any wetter; our fashion habits have gotten less healthy in certain areas. Regardless or whether you are facing fingernail fungus due to sculpted nails, or toenail and/or foot fungus due to damp feet, the remedy is the same in all cases.
Remember that fungus can only live in dead tissue, so the elimination of dead skin is paramount to a successful cure. Buy a sturdy fingernail brush or a small brush of some kind that can be easily handled and won't be to rough on your skin. Scrub the affected areas at least once a day, making sure to get all uneven surfaces, cracks and crevasses. After washing and scrubbing, make sure the area is completely dry, then apply Shawnee Moon Herbaceuticals Foot Spray. Going barefoot or in sandals is also very helpful in combating foot and toenail fungus.
To speed your cure on it's way, you can purchase and inject garlic capsules. Look for a strong odorless form of garlic. There are many brands on the market and they are easily found in all health food and many drug stores. Shawnee Moon Herbaceuticals Olive Leaf Plus tincture is also very helpful for fighting fungus from the inside out.
This remedy for fungus will not accomplish it's goal overnight, so you must stick to this regime for at least one to two months to obtain fungus free hands and feet.
