Camu Camu fruit has a long list of healing properties. It only grows in rainforests by rivers, just like Graviola, its super-cousin primarily known for anti-cancer properties.
Indigenous people in the Amazon have used Camu Camu fruits and leaves for a long time as a medicine. It has recently become popular in the West in powdered form, which makes it easy to add it to different foods, in this way drastically increasing the amount of Vitamin C and essential minerals in any dish of your liking.

Camu Camu has the largest natural concentration of vitamin C of all foods on the planet!
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and a necessary component for normal bodily functions. You would need to eat 60 oranges to match the amount of Vitamin C in just a teaspoon of our organic Camu Camu powder!
This information is very useful to those with a certain health condition proven to be bettered with large amounts of vitamin C, as you can get an incredible amount in only one teaspoon of this powder.
For example, vitamin C is known as a strong anti-oxidant that can help recover and ease symptoms of the flue, cold, viruses, but also in more serious health conditions like cancer, protecting the further spreading to healthy cells or even curing the cancer condition itself.
Vitamin C is a critical component of a functioning body.Importance Of Vitamin C
It is necessary for the growth, development and repair of all body tissues, not to mention it’s involvement in forming collagen, absorbing iron, wound healing, functioning of the immune system, and maintaining your teeth, bones and cartilage.
Many people do not consume the daily recommended intake of vitamin C and Camu Camu powder can help compensate for the lack of this vitamin in the most natural way, being a bioavailable source of vitamin C.
Using only ¼ of a teaspoon of our organic Camu Camu powder is enough to get your daily recommended dose! In case of any health condition, you can increase this up to 1 full teaspoon 3 times a day.
NB!
In case you take too big of a dose of Camu Camu, your body will naturally filter out excess of vitamin C, but consuming too much still may upset your digestive system.
NB!
Studies have found that having a healthy amount of vitamin C makes stress more tolerable for the body, stops colds and diseases from developing into heavier conditions, lowers the probability of getting a stroke, gives your body the necessary resources to help fight oncological problems and slows ageing.

Full Of Antioxidants!
Camu Camu is rich in antioxidants like vitamin C and flavonoids that fight free radicals and oxidative stress which can be the cause of many health conditions.
Regular use of Camu Camu can act as a natural prevention for all kinds of illnesses!
Why are antioxidants so important? Antioxidants severely reduce and prevent inflammation, which is a surprisingly common problem that often goes undiagnosed. It is often caused by unstable molecules called free radicals, which end up in our organism due to stress, unbalanced diets, pollution and disease.
Prickly free radicals cause oxidative stress which has been linked to diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Antioxidants fight these molecules, removing them and their effects from the organism. This is one of the many reasons why people have said that they feel much better after starting to regularly add Camu Camu powder to their foods.

In addition to consciousness, man is largely defined by emotions that are known to affect our health and happiness. Emotions are closely related to the human physical body, and a particular emotion is able to cause changes in the human body in a positive, or negative way.
The basic emotion and the only natural state of man is love, and all other emotions arise from it. We distinguish two types of emotions, those that are in the frequency and energy of love and those that are not.
Emotions that are not aligned with the energy of love such as hatred, anger, fear, nervousness, jealousy, sadness, anxiety, worry can cause energy blockages in certain parts of the human body, and thus lead to disease and disorders of certain organ systems.
The emotion of sadness is known to cause lung disease, the emotion of fear causes kidney disease, the emotion of anger causes liver disease, and worry in turn strikes our stomach.
Apart from emotional causes, the most common causes are diseases of a physical nature.
Namely, each disease is directly related to the state of our lymphatic system and the degree of acidity of the organism.
If we look at our body as a bunch of cells, each of which functions according to the same laws of chemistry, it is logical to conclude that each cell lives, grows, feeds and multiplies in the same way.
For the cells to function normally in the body, they need energy and food.
The only foods that cells need are simple carbohydrates — fructose and glucose, simple fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals.
Everything that we take into the body, not being the food that our cells can use for their functioning, is a waste that the body must metabolise and eliminate.
Elimination of toxins and metabolic waste takes place in the body through four elimination channels. These are the kidneys, intestines, skin and lungs.
Constant and excessive intake of toxins, plastics and chemicals, but also food that acidifies and leaves in the body the acid residue so-called “acid ash”, accumulates toxins and acids, increases the degree of acidity of tissues and gradually makes it impossible to eliminate them from the body.
The lymphatic system, which is the sewer system in the body, is responsible for transporting metabolic waste, acids and all toxins introduced into the body.
Due to the constant intake of toxins, with years the lymphatic system becomes clogged, the elimination channels are blocked and the toxins remain stored in the lymphatic system and extracellular spaces. Symptoms like inflammation, pain, burning, itching, eczema, mucus formation, stones, calcifications, ulcers, acne, edema occur in places where they accumulate to a greater extent, and if the body is not cleansed in time, development of diseases occurs, initially acute leading to subacute and eventually degenerative.
Every symptom in the body and every disease are actually just indicators of the acidity of the body and the congestion of the lymphatic system and intestines.
No disease develops from today to tomorrow as a result of long-term “poisoning” of the body with unnatural, cooked and processed food, poisoned water, dirty air and kilograms of cosmetics that we use every day.
Our body is constantly trying to flush out toxins and acids to prevent further damage and degeneration of tissues and organs. Due to ignorance of the proper functioning of our body, we recognize every symptom of cleansing the body as a disease of unknown cause and try to suppress the symptoms and stop the process.
Take for example a cold with fever, runny nose and cough. We are taught to think that such a respiratory infection is the result of our contact with bacteria and viruses and that it occurs due to a weak immune system of the body.
The real truth is that the cause of such a cold is not external factors, bacteria and viruses, but the very state of the lymphatic system and the degree of acidity of the body of each individual. High temperature is actually just the fermentation of toxins in the body. The secretion from the respiratory system gets rid of excessively accumulated mucus that arises as a defense system from the intake of toxins and acidifying foods (meat, milk, eggs, cereals, legumes, sugar and all processed and artificial foods).
Learned to suppress symptoms, lower fever, suppress coughing and runny nose, we interrupt the body’s natural cleansing and detoxification process. Although these symptoms are unpleasant and can sometimes be unbearable, they are necessary for the healing process of the body. If we understand that the “disease” is not bad, that our body is very intelligent and thus gets rid of waste and tries to regenerate, then the “disease” is no longer a problem that we need to get rid of at all costs.
“Illness” can thus be viewed from two different points of view. As a bad thing that can kill us if we don’t treat it, or as a good thing that cleanses our body and leads to health.
It is up to us to choose which point of view we will consciously take, which way we want to go and solve the state of “disease”.
We can look for a way out in medications and suppress symptoms, or we can choose the path of regenerative detoxification and allow our body the conditions to heal itself with the help of natural foods and herbs.
Every symptom and “disease” has a solution in natural, raw food, spending time in nature, sun, fresh air and movement (walking or physical excercise).
We need to realise that our body is intelligent and capable of healing itself. Just as it is able to heal a wound or a cut, so it is able to detoxify itself and heal the “disease”. The only thing you need to provide it with, are ideal conditions for normal functioning in accordance with nature and the laws of chemistry. Natural raw food, medicinal herbs, sun, clean air and nature provide conditions in which diseases do not occur.
With the help of regenerative detoxification and nature, we can find a way out of suffering and illness and enable ourselves a life full of health and vitality.

As children, many of us remember carefully “supervising” the production process and impatiently waiting for the strudel to finally be baked, while the whole house was filled with a wonderful, mild scent of warm apples and cinnamon. For sure our grandmother’s strudels are responsible for the fact that cinnamon always awakes nice memories and perhaps this is the exact reason why cinnamon is your favourite spice today!
Unfortunately, our grandmothers did not know at the time that there were different types of cinnamon, and the (cheaper) version available in stores and what was mostly used was Chinese cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia). This type of cinnamon contains high doses of coumarin which can be toxic in higher concentrations and has no beneficial effects on our body.
In contrast, the real cinnamon, ie Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), especially when coming from organic farming, has a healing effect and numerous health benefits. It contains many antioxidants and phenols in its composition and its aroma has soothing effects on the mind and body.
Scientific studies confirm that continuous use of Ceylon cinnamon:
– lowers blood glucose, triglyceride and LDL cholesterol levels;
– removes toxins from the body;
– it alleviates the symptoms of bacterial & fungal infections;
– promotes digestion, relieves flatulence, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome;
– improves absorption of nutrients from food;
– improves liver function;
– helps in burning belly fat.
There is a long list of benefits to using cinnamon, and since it is delicious and aromatic, you will easily find a way to incorporate it into a part of your daily routine.
Now that you have this knowledge, it will be important to you what kind of cinnamon you will choose the next time you decide to make an apple strudel. 
Choose only the best for your health and keep in mind that everything we “put” into our body, in the long run has a great impact on our health and overall well-being.
If you are leading a healthy life style or you are a supporter of healing with natural remedies, soon enough, this will become a “must have” spice in your kitchen! Apart from adding it into your morning smoothie every day, you can also use it to make raw bars, ice cream, pralines, chocolate, compote and of course, the apple strudel 
To make this dessert really healthy, instead of white sugar, make sure to use natural sweetener, like Organic Coconut Sugar or Stevia.
EnJOY the aromas of cinnamon, and stay in good health!

Spirulina is an algae known to inhabit planet Earth for 3.5 million years. It is a blue-green algae that grows in both fresh and salt water, in a moderate temperature environment and exposed to large amounts of sunlight.
Its distinct blue-green color is given by green chlorophyll and blue phycocyanin, due to which in the process of photosynthesis spirulina produces large amounts of oxygen needed by humans and other living beings for life.
Chlorophyll as plant “blood”
Chlorophyll is the same in plants as hemoglobin in humans and is often called plant blood. It behaves like hemoglobin in the body and therefore promotes the treatment of anaemia.
Chlorophyll as a molecule has a pronounced chelation ability. It is the process of binding heavy metal atoms to complex organic compounds such as chlorophyll.
Detoxifying abilities
Chlorophyll has the ability to bind and remove heavy metals like mercury from the body and that makes it a powerful cleanser and detoxifier.
In addition to chlorophyll, spirulina contains other plant pigments, phycocyanin and carotenoids. It contains as much as 10 times more beta carotene than carrots.
Phycocyanin
that is found in spirulina has a strong immunostimulatory and anticancer effect and is the most powerful antioxidant in it.
Spirulina is rich in iron and calcium, it also contains chromium, iodine, copper, potassium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, selenium, zinc and sodium. It is also a good source of vitamins A, B6, B1, C and D.
It contains all the essential amino acids that make it a complete protein. It is also a source of essential fatty acids.
Spirulina has been scientifically proven to be a superfood because it has a beneficial effect on:
- regulation of blood sugar and blood pressure
- triglyceride and cholesterol levels
- reduction of pain and inflammation (anti-inflammatory properties)
- improvement of digestion and intestinal flora
- prevention of cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune diseases
- weight loss and weight regulation
- increase in energy
- function of the brain, nerves, liver, kidneys, eyes, thyroid gland
- removal of toxins and heavy metals from the body
- strengthening immunity and protection against allergy
You can take Spirulina in the form of tablets or powder, it can be added to juices or smoothies and thus give even more nutrients, enzymes, vitamins and minerals to your body.

For already 10 years, the most popular natural herbal medicine
About the benefits of this natural herbal preparation word is constantly being spread. There are more and more patients testifying to the effectiveness of Graviola.
The miraculous graviola tree grows deep in the Amazon rainforest and is considered a superfood. Numerous scientific studies show that graviola effectively and naturally destroys cancer cells with a power several hundred times stronger than chemotherapy, without harming healthy cells. Therefore, natural therapy with graviola does not cause extreme nausea, weight loss and hair loss, therefore it is suitable for prevention and help in the treatment of various types of cancer. Renowned doctors advise the use of graviola to their patients before, during and after chemotherapy as an additional protection of immunity since graviola is rich in vitamin C.
Why is so little still known about Graviola?
Despite many positive experiences of patients and their verbal recommendations, still many have never heard of this plant.
Individuals, ordinary people can at most act as local advertisements, by no means as global ones. Personal experiences of difficult periods of illness are told only to closest ones and those in a similar “sauce” with whom we may have shared space and time in the waiting room or hospital ward.
No one wants to talk too much about their illness, on the contrary, it is something we want to hide, push under the rug and pretend in front of neighbors and acquaintances that it does not exist. Feelings of shame and guilt are often present. How are we then going to talk to the whole world about the effectiveness of all those natural healthy preparations that our kitchen cabinets have become overcrowded with almost overnight, in our attempt to reestablish our good health?
Pharmaceutical giants, on the other hand, are large corporations that can influence public opinion and inform the public about natural and economically available natural remedies. Why don’t they do that?
Large pharmaceutical corporations often keep their discoveries about the power of certain plants, including Graviola, away from the public. Under federal law that says a natural ingredient or plant cannot be patented, pharmaceutical companies do not have the ability to profit from the commercialization of a natural remedy. Thus, they will never advertise and inform the public about valuable bioactive ingredients of plants whose effectiveness has been confirmed by their scientific research, but will only place synthesized versions that often contain isolated bioactive ingredients of a particular plant.
The whole Graviola tree has remarkable benefits on the human body. In the end, a question arises, why do we trust more man-made medicines under controlled conditions than herbal ones given by the Creator through seed, specific climate, symbiosis of flora and fauna in an area where a particular plant thrives and grows naturally?
