Amazon John

Amazon John, also known as John Easterling, is an entrepreneur responsible for the creation of Amazon Herb Co., a company specializing in fruits and herbs found in the Amazon Rainforest. However, you may know Amazon John best as Olivia Newton John’s husband. He holds a degree in Environmental Studies from the University of North Carolina and has spent many years in the Amazon learning about the medicinal properties of naturally occurring plant life. Amazon John is also interested in rainforest preservation, preferring to responsibly harvest plant life to keep the rainforest around for decades to come.

A lot of people see these new products and think they are a waste of time. That is why Amazon John helped to create the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine. This organization was started in order to begin studies on the various types of herbs and plants found not only in the Amazon, but around the world. Amazon John even presents his findings occasionally at this college, and expects feasibility studies with doctors from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine as well as the mayo clinic. If these feasibility studies go well, he hopes from funding from the National Institute of Health. With these kinds of big names in the health world working alongside Amazon John it will soon be impossible to write him and his products off as wishful thinking.

Amazon John is all about giving people choices when it comes to their health.  He supports acts passed by Congress like the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act that help to provide education and information about little understood supplements which will help people to improve their health. These kinds of acts protect consumers and Amazon John not only complies with, but celebrates those sorts of regulations. The only thing you have to lose is your chance at better health. Give Amazon John a try.

The Fruit of the Acai Palm

Somewhere near 800 berries grow together on the branches of the Acai Palm twice a year. The fruit contains an amazing large seed consisting of 80% of the berry itself. Within the Amazon, the berries represent a large portion of the population’s diet. Many beverages have been created from the juice of the berries which is consumed within the region. Farther north within Brazil, the berry is consumed more often as a fruit instead of a juice. Other unique uses within Brazil include ice cream and liqueur.
