RL> International agency/distribution rights are available.
RL> Background:
RL> EPILOBIUM
RL> Latin Name: Epilobium Parviflorum
RL> Other Names: Weidenroescheon, small-flowered willow herb
RL> Origin: Europe
RL> Habitat: Likes rich, moist soils in shaded, protected positions
RL> Parts used: leaves, stem, flower
RL> Preparations: herb tea,  capsule
RL> Action: Prostatelium, anti-inflammatory, astringent, remedial
RL> Epilobium is an herb and the only one recognized as a prostatelium,
RL> that
RL> is, its specific task is to treat the prostate. It has no side effects
RL> and is an excellent preventative that every man over 50  should take.

RL> a

RL> Secondly, it is a permanent therapeutic that can serve as a support
RL> agent in problem free combination with any other forms of prostate
RL> treatment including surgery. recent German studies have revealed that
RL> Epilobium is one of the many plants containing betasitosterol, but is
RL> one of the few to contain it in a medicinally sufficient quantity and
RL> usable form.
RL> The real value of the herb lies in the fact that many patients are
RL> spared surgery altogether as the enlargement of the prostate is either
RL> significantly slowed down or completely halted.
RL> Epilobium may be taken as a tea or in a capsule form, the healing
RL> effects are both are the same. the directions are very simple: for
RL> prostate enlargement it is taken just twice daily as directed before
RL> breakfast and again half an hour before the evening meal. Prostate
RL> disorder sufferers have reported that the beneficial effects can be
RL> felt
RL> in just a few days. Of course, it has to be taken for a period of at
RL> least three months to enable it to help effect full recovery.
RL> For prostate cancer sufferers, the recommended intake of Epilobium tea
RL> is four times daily before meals.
RL> The product has been commercially available in this country for about
RL> five years now and thousands of Australian men (and their wives) will
RL> testify to its effectiveness.
RL> A search of the internet does not reveal any other Epilobium/prostate
RL> link.
RL> The sole repository of this knowledge is Adelaide herbalist Hilde
RL> Hemmes.
RL> This product has enormous potential in all western societies.
RL> For further information, testimonials, samples etc. please contact the
RL> writer.
