Fertile Soil Packs Rainforest Superfoods
with Life-Giving Nutrients

Compared to commercially grown produce, foods grown in the rich floodplain and volcanic soils of the Rainforest are loaded with life-giving nutrients.

For years, we’ve heard about the health benefits of broccoli, oranges, spinach, tomatoes, and a host of other agricultural products with high phytonutrient content. Because of the potential health benefits, these foods and many others are often referred to as superfoods.

Unfortunately, modern farming practices may be reducing the nutritional impact of cultivated crops. Much of the farmland across the world has been so over-farmed that it no longer has the mineral and organic composition it takes to produce plants high in nutrition.

Crops grown in soil stripped of nutrients end up with lower levels of nutrients themselves. When you add to this the effects of using harmful pesticides, which interfere with the plant’s natural synthesis of phytochemicals – and synthetic fertilizers that reduce absorbability of important nutrients – you’ll discover we’ve become a society rich in food, but poor in nutrition.

Raw, Wild Foods from the Rainforest

Unlike the diminished nutrient content of produce grown on over-processed farmland, the foods and herbs growing in the rich floodplain and volcanic soils of the Amazon are loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and other life-giving nutrients.

Many tropical foods are so potent that the Rainforest is sometimes referred to as “nature’s pharmacy.”

The healing properties of these plants aren’t news to the people of Central and South America. Natives have understood the value of indigenous plants for hundreds of years. More recently, these raw, wild botanicals from the Amazon are being recognized by people around the world for their health benefits.

Powerhouse Nutrition in a Tiny Little Fruit

Unlike some of the Rainforest’s more widely recognized superfoods, camu camu is a little-known berry that is only now being “discovered” by the world at large, and quickly becoming a star because of its myriad of health benefits. Grown in some of the richest soil on earth, it has the highest known natural source of immune-boosting vitamin C in the world.

Because camu camu grows in the floodplains, the trees are covered with floodwaters four months out of the year. When the waters recede, a rich deposit of nutrients is left behind – allowing the trees to produce a natural density of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, and packing the fruit with a rich, balanced profile of unique, vital nutrients.

Recent studies on camu camu revealed that the fruit also has a high natural source of ellagic acid and quercetin, two very potent antioxidants.

The camu camu fruit, along with other foods grown in the rich soils of the Rainforest flood plains and volcanic regions, are today’s new powerhouse superfoods – the ones the world is turning to in an effort to gain the wealth of nutrients and health benefits standard agricultural products are missing.

Record Numbers Attend Spring Tour

This year’s Spring Tour was an unqualified success! With a record number of participants, we met more new community members ready to spread our message of health, prosperity, and Rainforest wisdom than ever before.

We were especially pleased to see the large numbers of people expressing interest in the Amazon Herb business opportunity. With headlines full of dire warnings about the impact of climate changes on our planet, it’s clear that our business model is leading the way toward positive change – providing solutions to global warming, declining health, and financial instability.

The community support for our mission – and the number of people ready to make new choices for the future – has been tremendous. We’d like to thank one and all for their dedication, support, and tireless efforts in making the Spring Tour such a successful event.
