KVA
GARLIC IMMUNE EXTRACT
This is one of our all-time favorite formula. Inspired by Dr. John R. Christopher when he
was at a seminar in Snowflake, Arizona to ward off Bubonic Plague. Although there are a couple of herbs that are
different because of being on the FDA list, it is still made as Dr.
Christopher's instructions. If I or my
husband even think about getting sick or know if we are going to be around
people who are, we take this formula with great success. This is a must-have for the medicine cabinet for
the old and young alike.
Ingredients: Garlic,
astragalus, marshmallow, mullein, uva ursi, wormwood, black walnut, white oak,
skullcap, lobelia, vinegar, glycerin, honey
