Camu Camu - Vitamin C Powerhouse

My Camu Powder arrived today. Camu Camu is a low shrub found throughout the array of swampy river passageways in the Amazon rainforest of Peru, Brazil, Venezuela and Colombia. I bought it because of its very high vitamin C contents, 30-60% more than the vitamin C of an orange. It also has beta-carotene, potassium and amino acids.

Additionally, it is known in those areas of the world to be the medicine of nature that treats eye diseases such as cataracts and glaucoma, depression, headaches and asthma. Japan is the buyer who put the large scale cultivation of this natural medicine on the market. The tree is known for being resilient in floods. It can remain intact with its roots 4-5 months submerged under water. Who wouldn’t want something fierce like that as part of their body’s molecular and cellular force?

Also, vitamin c therapy is known to be a recognized form of alternative cancer treatment. I figured since we couldn't get the intravenous injections of high dosages of vitamin c, this grassroots healing is the next best thing.

In the war that is cancer, Vitamin C is like the air force flying around capturing oxygen free radical cells. They also back up a force known as killer cells. Oxygen free radical cells are like out of control saucers crashing into buildings.

Note for my mom to take her Camu Camu everyday with her Noni Juice.
