* For Your Heart: An herb that opens up clogged arteries and lowers blood pressure, with none of the side effects of prescription drugs.
* For High Cholesterol: A tasty grain that has three times more cholesterol-lowering power than oat bran.
* For Migraines: An herb that has the power to eliminate the blurred vision and debilitating pain of these monster headaches.
* For Mood Swings: A common food that shares the power of Prozac to boost the brain's level of "feel-good" serotonin.
* For Osteoporosis: A prime plant source of calcium that vastly enhances protection against bone depletion.
