Red Clover

It’s not just the rare and hard-to-find that has value. The very accessibility of some resources—think sunlight, air—makes them miracles in and of themselves. Red clover, one such wonder, is thought of as a common weed, when it should be heralded as a king. On top of red clover’s generosity of spirit, it has a sympathetic energy; it actually cares about the person who’s consuming it. Red clover is one of the most powerful herbs of all to support the lymphatic system and cleanse lymph fluid, and it can be effective for addressing any type of cancer when other healing protocols are in alignment. This generous wild herb—you can use both the flowers and the leaves—is a diuretic and the ultimate blood builder for those who are worried about virtually any type of blood disorder or disease, including leukemia, multiple myeloma, or just toxic blood overall due to the pancreas or liver not functioning properly. Red clover is loaded with a bumper crop of nutrients and disease-fighting alkaloids. You can get more out of red clover than any multivitamin on the market at the time of this book’s writing. If your doctor is concerned that you have nutrient deficiencies, discuss red clover tea as an option. It is a great herb for remineralization and a helpful replenisher of deficiencies specifically in molybdenum, manganese, selenium, iron, magnesium, vitamin A, B vitamins, cofactors of vitamins (phytonutrients that are not yet on the radar of medical research), and more. Plus, red clover’s alkaloids work hand in hand with its amino acids to break up and reduce stored-up, unnecessary fat, so it can be flushed out of the body. It’s one of the ultimate drivers of weight loss of our time. Red clover also has an energizing effect, making it a stellar herb for someone who’s feeling exhausted, fatigued, or depleted. You can use many different trendy, fancy products marketed as superfoods in the health world, and there’s a good chance they won’t be better or equal to the replenishing powers contained in one cup of red clover tea. All of this combined with red clover’s ability to help cleanse surface toxic heavy metals and pesticides such as DDT makes this herb one of the must-haves for survival in this century.
