It's found in fruits and vegetables from strawberries to cucumbers and stops memory loss that accompanies Alzheimer's disease, scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have discovered.

'Despite the fact that vegetables have been proven to help lower your risk of chronic disease and support longevity, most Americans are not eating nearly enough of these natural, relatively inexpensive superfoods.

'Do you wish there was a simple solution that tackled things like cancer AND the common cold?


Time and again, both in my nutritional training and my own experience with my family, I am shown that the kitchen is the first place to begin for getting well.


Helping our little ones and ourselves get strong and well can come from the most modest and unassuming sources. The two immune boosters that I discuss today could not be more humble and are probably available right now in your pantry.


Garlic. Onions.


That's it!


Garlic and onions are simple and inexpensive – the best vegetables for highly effective immune boosting if applied in a therapeutic manner.'
