How the Company Was Started.

Hi, I'm Amazon John Easterling, founder of The Amazon Herb Company. I, too, was drawn into this land of mystery and adventure.

During numerous trips searching for treasure I was very fortunate. I made many valuable discoveries, including a small fortune in gemstones and ancient artifacts. For several years I made my living dealing mostly in these precious stones and treasures.

But recently I discovered the most valuable treasure of all.

For the next few moments I would like to share with you some of the real secrets of this treasure house.

It may change your life forever. It did mine. Let me tell you the whole story. Suddenly, I knew I had found my passion. Here is what actually happened...

It all began in the third grade at Merry Oaks Elementary School. The latest issue of the Weekly Reader arrived. Each week there was story about a kid my age living in some exotic part of the globe. This one featured Raul and his llamas. They lived a great adventure every day high up in the snowcapped Andes Mountains. My mind raced with the possibilities. Lost cities of untold wealth. Advanced civilizations which had vanished off the face of the earth.

I knew in my heart, in South America I had found my destiny.

"The robust healthy tribes do not live near easily navigable rivers, but retire beyond the range of civilized man... There, I believe, lay the greatest secrets of the past yet preserved in our world today. I had come to the turn of the road and for better or worse, I chose the forest path." Col. P.H. Fawcett, Lost Trails Lost City (1913).

After I finished college I sold my car to raise money to buy a ticket to Ecuador in search of treasure.

It's been 21 years since I began my explorations. Since then I've filled three passports and logged over 134 trips to South America. I criss-crossed the Andes Mountains for years searching for lost cities and Pre-Colombian civilizations.

I know some of this may sound like fiction, but I promise every word of what you are reading is absolutely true.

The Dream Kept Me Going

My time in Amazonia was fueled by a dream. Armed with a machete and some survival provisions, I always knew the treasure cache was just over the next hill or across the river.
These trips seemed to leave me empty handed; unless you count the fevers, mosquito bites and wounded ego.

Still the Rainforest of Peru and Brazil held a certain fascination that simply wouldn't go away.

In my heart, I knew somewhere in Amazonia, there were hidden secrets that would dramatically alter human existence invariably I found myself upriver pursuing my natural trade. I dealt with the native Indians in tribal artifacts, blow guns and monkey bones. Little did I know what would lead to the real treasure?

You see, my health had been compromised earlier in life. I contracted hepatitis and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. In a North Carolina hospital I had a near-death experience. It was only through the efforts of a heroic doctor that I survived. But this left me in a state of chronic fatigue. I was tired all the time. My mental acuity wasn't what it used to be and my liver was essentially shot. All in all, I felt like I was operating at 60% of full potential. For 12 years I functioned with about half of my normal energy.

I Continued Trekking Into the Jungle

It was on one of these trips that my life was changed forever.

I was exploring upriver on the Rio Ucayali, the main tributary of the Amazon. I knew I was in rough shape, chilling and sweating with fever in the searing afternoon heat. I turned the motorized dug-out to the river bank and stumbled into a Shipibo village, weak and exhausted. Once I lay down, I couldn't get up. The natives took care of me. Their herbalist mixed some herbs and started feeding me.

A few days with these Shipibo Indians on the headwaters of the Amazon changed everything. I started getting stronger. Drinking Una de Gato and Quebra Pedra herbal teas took my health not only back to where it had been before my health challenges but to an entirely new level of life experience. The energy flow, the mental clarity and focus, it all came back and more!

The Discovery Changed My Life

This life changing experience in my own health using Amazonian herbs was the watershed experience of my life! So after all these years of treasure hunting in the jungle, I finally realized... the real treasure of the Rainforest was the life giving properties of the Rainforest itself.

I Finally Understood, I Was Standing In the Middle of the Highest Concentration of Life Energy on the Planet

Subsequently I met the famous author and explorer, Nicole Maxwell, who spent 40 years in the Amazon researching medicinal plants. Even though she was 83 years old, she accompanied me back to the Peruvian jungle. Her research and inspiration really brought to light the incredible diversity and healing potential of Rainforest plants for all of us.

Now we know the green pharmacy of Amazonian botanicals holds the key too many of today's' most urgent health concerns. It's clear that the native Indians in the Rainforest are sitting on the health treasures for which the rest of the world is desperate. I found the purpose and meaning of my life... to bring these life-saving herbals to people throughout the world.

Health Care Practitioners in Several Countries Discover Rainforest Herbs

We began supplying some of these botanicals to health care practitioners. An exciting cooperative effort was formed. We worked with these healers in several countries with thousands of patients for over three years. The original formulas were fine-tuned. The products were stream-lined down to a few super-focused formulas. Currently the products really address the health challenges we all have to deal with every day.

The Amazonian Rainforest is the most powerful and diverse natural phenomena on our planet. The formulas you are about to discover can accelerate your health to anew level of life experience. I am convinced that these powerful natural herbs hold two keys: First for the impact on the health of all the world's people; second, for the preservation of the Rainforest, which needs to be done for the sake of mankind.

Sufficient demand for sustainable Rainforest products is necessary for preservation efforts to succeed. Providing resources to Rainforest dwellers in exchange for botanicals gives them greater choices in determining their own future. This type of exchange also spawns trust and mutual respect. The common goal is individual and planetary health. This circle of healing is an ongoing endeavor and...

You Are Invited to Share in This Vision!

Your health is your greatest asset. It makes no difference how significant your portfolio of stocks, currencies, bonds, or real estate is. The centerpiece of all of this is your ability to enjoy the life experience; in other words, your health. But you must invest in your health just as you would invest in other assets.

Think of it like this. Your body is an incredible organism that processes the environment. We take in air, food, sunshine and water. We process that into energy and living tissue and we eliminate the waste.

Let's review that once again. We take in air, food, sunshine and water. That's the input. We process that into energy and living tissue and we eliminate the waste.

Anytime there is an efficiency in this process, it expresses itself as symptom, i.e. low energy, inefficient digestion, heaviness or bloating after you eat, inefficient elimination, constipation, headaches, etc.

Our Health is being Challenged like Never Before

Our health today is being challenged by a multitude of viruses, parasites and bacteria mutating like we've never seen before. That's in addition to all the environmental contaminants in the air and water we are exposed to every day.

Think about this. As you are reading these words your heart, lungs, liver, thymus, spleen, pancreas, gallbladder, kidneys and all your body's other organs are doing their job. It's automatic. You don't have to consciously command these organs to do their jobs.

We all have an innate intelligence that orchestrates all these systems to work together. You don't have to tell your heart to keep beating or regulate cholesterol, or your pancreas to balance blood sugar. They do their job automatically even when we sleep.

So What Do Our Bodies' Organs Need to Operate Efficiently?

All the organs ask for is the proper fuel or nutritional matter they need to do the job. That's all! But let's look at the nutritional value in our food chain. The food supply we have access to is not like that of our ancestors.

Commercial food is grown in the same soil year after year after year. The soil has long been depleted of nutritional content. So the nutritional value of the food grown in the soil is also depleted. Then the foods are processed with heating, freezing, preservatives and chemical additives. Our diet is a far cry from fresh wild plants growing in virgin soil.

"Dr. Richard Schultz, one of the world's leading herbalists, recently demonstrated... In 1948, if you ate a bowl of spinach you got (x) amount of nutrients from it. By 1963, you had to eat 28 bowls of spinach to get the same amount of nutrients. By 1993, you had to eat 87 bowls of spinach to obtain the same quantity of nutrients as in 1948."

Why Dietary Supplementation is Necessary

Simply stated, the nutritional content of our food supply is at its lowest level in history. If your organs aren't getting the nutrients they need, they simply go into a slow process of degeneration. So while the challenges to our health (viruses, parasites, bacteria) are at the highest level ever, our nutritional intake to protect ourselves from these challenges is at its lowest level ever and here we are caught in between.

Degenerative Diseases are the Leading Cause of Death

It's no wonder degenerative disease in this country is growing dramatically. Cancer, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis these are degenerative processes. The untold human suffering caused by these diseases is inestimable. In addition, emotional stress in the 20th century is also at an all time high.

Listen to what Dr. Hetrick, Microbiologist, has to say: "In our modern society of fast food and junk foods, nutritional requirements are often unmet. This deficiency can be offset by utilizing supplemental sources. Pills and tablets offer one way, but the body's natural mechanisms for extracting micronutrients is primarily geared to plant sources.

Additionally, age reduces the body's ability to absorb nutrients from foods. Thus attention must be given to supplementation with plants being the [referred natural source. Mother Nature has devised a marvelous stem of nutrition and nurture for us. As usual, Mother Nature knows best, having had a million years of experience at building human bodies."

The key to regenerating and revitalizing your health is to give your body the missing links. You require the proper nutritional supplements, not available in your daily diet. With good nutrition and supplements your organs will have the raw materials they need to regenerate and do their jobs efficiently.

Why Rainforest Plants?

Because you deserve the best and purest nutritional source the planet has to offer!

"From man's earliest emergence as a thinking animal, he has turned to the Plant Kingdom for his foods, his medicine and most of his other necessities."
Richard E Schultes Ph.
Rainforest Director,
Harvard Botanical Museum

For thousands of years, the natives of South American Rainforests have traditionally relied upon flowers, leaves, stems, barks and roots of various plant species. Some of these botanicals have been used to maintain and optimize health. These plants supply important nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, carbohydrates and other beneficial substances.

Still other plants, we have learned have a long history of traditional use for their many unique properties. These contain important plant-based chemistry, the value of which modern researchers are just beginning to understand.

The Richest Source of Nutrients and Life Energy on the Planet.

Imagine a virgin tropical environment hundreds of miles from the nearest road or source of pollution. Think of Rainforest soil, rich in nutrients as the forest continuously recycles in a virtually closed eco-system. Imagine 200,000 species of plants thriving in this tropical paradise.

According to Michael Blalick, Director, Institute of Economic Botany, "Of more than 265,000 known plant species, less than three percent have been tested for their medical applications, yet our of this tiny portion have come 24 percent of all medicines."

Clearly we are looking at the most important healthy treasures on earth. In addition, it is the highest concentration of nutrients and life energy on our planet. With new research findings, many Rainforest plants, known and used for centuries in the Amazon, are now beginning to get the attention they deserve. No wonder the entire world is focusing on these amazing Rainforest nutritional and herbal treasures.

How did the actual formulas evolve?

These formulas are base3d on traditional combinations that have been used by the native Indians for many years. Each individual herb has a long history of use and has been used thousands of times. For the first three years, our company worked exclusively with health care practitioners, including medical doctors, chiropractors, acupuncture physicians, nutritionist and athletic trainers. Through this experience and in cooperation with these professionals, we have refined and fine-tuned the products. They are formulated to address the nutritional needs facing the healthy conscious person living in today's challenging environment.
